Chapter 424: The Beginning of the Final Battle (2/2)

”The power of the blood mark…” After whispering to himself, Zhan Ziye finally vaguely guessed w.a.n.g Lu's method. His pupils sharply contracted and his breath stagnated.

”Yes, blood sacrificed the love one, in exchange for powerful strength. Doesn't the current Sacred Leaf happen to have one top quality sacrificial offering? His sibling inherits the bloodline of the king of Harmony River. If the blood sacrifice is performed, then I'm sure he'll be able to claim more than ten blood marks, which is enough to evolve the current Sacred Leaf to a useful state… Although because it is such a crude strengthening I'm afraid you'll only be able to use him once before he becomes a waste, but the Eternal Tree only needs this one time to suppress all the enemies…”

”Go to h.e.l.l!”

Before w.a.n.g Lu could finish his words, Zhan Ziye's thunder force abruptly erupted, flinging w.a.n.g Lu upside down and causing him to crash heavily against the tree wall.

Although Zhan Ziye's attack was strong, w.a.n.g Lu quietly and completely resolved the whole thing with his Non-Phase Sword Qi, leaving him completely without any injury. He stretched out his hand to smooth out the folding on his clothes and said, ”Do you think I'm inhuman? Then I might as well tell you one thing. After hearing it, then you can judge my humanity again.”

With that, he pulled a stool, sat down, and then said a few words that made Zhan Ziye become covered in shock and calm his anger.

”Qiong Hua has finally come out.”

—

Regardless of what kind of a.n.a.lysis and judgment people made in this five spirits power struggle situation, Qiong Hua's Shengjing Sect team was one of the most dazzling ones.

Zhan Ziye determined that the final opponent of this immortal dream land would be w.a.n.g Lu. This was a full affirmation of w.a.n.g Lu's ability to take advantage of the situation and his ability to survive. However, the biggest enemy was none other than Qiong Hua. Because in this immortal dream land, her power had already gone beyond her peers.

It was just that, so far from the start of the war, Qiong Hua had always been quiet, firmly suppressed by the master of Golden City. Only the team's second line members such as Jianglu and w.a.n.gyue siblings could come forward to deal with the others. However, second line members were after all second line members, very quickly they were eaten up by the other forces. Thus, the Shengjing Sect team was slightly weakened. Right now, they nearly only had one person, Qiong Hua. From a tactical point of view, Qiong Hua's use of the team was undoubtedly a failure. Not only did they fail to play their role, their sacrifices were also in vain. Even worse than that, they caused her to be permanently imprisoned by the master of Golden City.

If one did not know that Shengjing Sect was the number one powerhouse in the entire immortal cultivation world of Nine Regions, this would be seen as a complete joke… Therefore, although no one could guess her layout, everyone believed that sooner or later, Qiong Hua would make her move. And once she made her move, the situation in this world would dramatically change.

Right now, Qiong Hua had finally changed the situation in a manner that was antic.i.p.ated by everyone.

”Senior Brother Zhiye, can you guess how Qiong Hua could come out of her imprisonment?”

Then, without waiting for Zhan Ziye to reply, w.a.n.g Lu answered his own question, ”She killed the master of Golden City and seized the power. Right now, she's both the master and the blood spirit, the two become one. And thus, she is now the most powerful creature in this world… Incidentally, since Zhou Mumu has left this world, the blood spirit power was recycled. One part belongs to the temple of blood spirit, and the other part ends up in Qiong Hua's hand. Now she has the power of three people, so basically, no one is her match.”

”...” Zhan Ziye was shocked and unexpectedly unable to say anything.

”In fact, her target from the beginning is the master of Golden City. However, the supreme king was born with a keen sense, so he naturally perceived Qiong Hua's killing intent. Therefore, immediately after Qiong Hua appeared, he put her in captivity. Using his blood marks, he created the limitless hall. As a supreme in this world, his means are so amazing that even the Jindan Stage Qiong Hua could not get out from that… Speaking of blood mark, since blood sacrifices of the loved one are required to obtain the blood marks, do you know who is the relative of the master of Golden City that he used as the blood sacrifice?”

Zhan Ziye thought about it and asked, ”Is it the twelve Pure Gold Guards?”

”Correct. It seems like Senior Brother Ziye finally found your thinking ability… the so-called Pure Gold Guards are, in fact, the sons of the master of Golden City. He blood sacrificed his twelve children into blood marks to seal Qiong Hua so that she could not move… This was because he wasn't sure that he could kill Qiong Hua, otherwise, he would have certainly done it. As for the five blood spirit crown, he could only care less about it, because Golden City is basically the overlord of this world. The rest of the four forces are not really a threat to his power. On the contrary, Qiong Hua is a deadly threat in sight.”

w.a.n.g Lu then shook his head. ”Unfortunately, the master of Golden City is really not that cruel-hearted. Because the blood-sacrifice is his own sons, he made a slight adjustment in the ceremony, so that the Pure Gold Guards could freely transform between blood mark and human form. Only when the crisis in this world was over will he recall the twelve Pure Gold Guards. Unfortunately, although this loophole showed his brilliant spells, but buried within was the foreshadowing of his downfall… Faced with the provocation from the king of Harmony River, his dignity as the supreme monarch made him unable to sit idly by, so he boldly used the power of the Pure Gold Guards. He pulled the blood marks out from the limitless hall, while at the same time came forward to replace the blood marks to personally suppress the limitless hall. This was a cautious move, but it played into Qiong Hua's hand. When the blood marks were rea.s.signed, there was a moment of lax-ness in the limitless hall. Qiong Hua then took advantage of this slight opportunity to break through, and then she slew the master of Golden City when he was caught off guard. The process was clean and tidy.”

After that, w.a.n.g Lu looked up at Zhan Ziye, his smiling face has a trace of admiration in it. ”So, Senior Brother Ziye, do you understand what kind of opponent we are facing with? From the very beginning, Senior Sister Qiong Hua constantly showed signs of weaknesses, which enabled the other four forces to form an alliance and press the Golden City until it can't breathe. When the two sides were mutually wounded, she took advantage of the opportunity to pick the biggest fruit… She is indeed worthy to be the lead disciple of Shengjing Sect. Her strength and her calculation are all so wonderful that other people could not help but become speechless.”

”And Senior Brother Ziye, in the face of such an opponent, do you think we have the qualification to hold back our strength?”

Without waiting for Zhan Ziye to think, w.a.n.g Lu immediately added a new weight.

”Let's think clearly about a problem, Senior Brother Ziye… Why was Senior Sister Qiong Hua bent on killing the master of Golden City from the very beginning? No matter how wonderful her layout is, it is impossible to explain this contradiction that happens from the very beginning. What is the point in her taking great pains to get rid of her strong ally?” As he said this, w.a.n.g Lu's complexion became more and more serious.

”At present, I can only think of one answer. When the rest of us are targeting the five blood spirit crown, Senior Sister Qiong Hua… has already been looking for the entire world. What she wants is this world.

”So, if you continue to be soft-hearted, those two children will eventually be unable to escape death, and it will surely be a meaningless death. Their parents' sacrifice to protect their countries would be taken by the other… Senior Sister Ziye, although they are young, they have already inherited their n.o.ble status. And along with the status comes the duty, the duty to protect their countries!

”I believe that even if they're here, they will not object to my view. After all, they're the children of that guy, they are born heroes!”

w.a.n.g Lu's voice has just fallen when from outside the tree hole, two tender but decisive voices rang in unison.

”Yes! We are the sons of the king of Harmony River, and we are not cowards!”

Hearing these two voices, w.a.n.g Lu finally smiled with satisfaction, and Zhan Ziye before him could no longer get angry.
