Chapter 103 : Southern Heavenly Kingdom (1)
A Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure was an item that could cause many people to shiver. A Virtuous Paragon, no matter which era, was an existence that could cause the rain to fall and wind to blow in an entire corner of the world. They could even trample the Eight Desolaces! However, to become a Virtuous Paragon was not such an easy matter.
In any given generation, a Virtuous Paragon was enough to establish a sect, or even establish a profound heritage.
Even though the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had lost its Emperor weapons, it still had three or five Virtuous Paragon Life Treasures. These were the last hidden cards of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect.
To many great sects and powerful nations, Virtuous Paragon Life Treasures and True Treasures were the national treasures or sect protecting existences. The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect still had three or five Virtuous Paragon Life Treasures left — this was called a thin camel is still greater than a fat horse.[1]
Normally, Gu Tie Shou wouldn’t recklessly use a Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure. Even the last time when he fought Lie Zhan Hou, he still didn’t summon his Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure. However, this time, he and the others were going to the Evil Infested Ridge. He knew that it would be an ominous event, so Gu Tie Shou especially brought along a Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure.
To the current Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, whether it was the Kun Peng’s Six Variants or a Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure, they were both things that could bring about a sect-destroying disaster to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. These existences were too temptatious to others!
In the past, he didn’t dare to use them in order to avoid other people becoming lustful, but today, Gu Tie Shou carried an aggressive presence. He first used the Emperor merit law, followed by the Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure, to suppress Zhen Wei Hou.
The power of the Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure was not fully exerted by Gu Tie Shou, but it was still infinitely frightening. Zhen Wei Hou had no way to resist it and his body heavily smashed into the ground, cracking a whole mountain with his broken bones.
At this moment, Zhen Wei Hou’s blood stained the earth. He was lying in a pit and had difficulty moving. If he was not dead, then he would at least be gravely injured.
The ridge was completely silent, everyone held their breath. Whenever a Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure came out, the people nearby had to be cautious. An experienced Royal Noble wielding a Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure and becoming crazy — no one could oppose such a character.
At this time, Gu Tie Shou was filled with killing intent and had a murderous presence with his Life Treasure. Deep in his heart, he felt extremely satisfied.
The Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect had been weak for so long and were always disadvantaged. It couldn’t even oppose others. As the first elder of the sect, and as the disciple who had joined for the longest period of time, whenever he dealt with other sects or outsiders, he always had to be cautious with his appearance. He was always anxious and afraid of enemies from the four directions that would bring about a calamity to the sect, so he never got the chance to be arrogant.
However, today, he was killing in all four directions and suppressed a previous generation Royal Noble of the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom, Zhen Wei Hou. His Emperor merit law astonished the four directions and his Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure frightened the heroes; this matter made Gu Tie Shou emotionally unrestrained with a sense of freedom. One could only imagine how proud and dominant the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect felt, that year, as they ruled over the Nine Worlds and swept through the ten heavens.
This battle made Gu Tie Shou even more determined to revive the sect. Only a powerful Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect would cause outsiders to be in fear!
At this moment, Gu Tie Shou’s eyes were cold with a decisive and murderous undertone. He stepped towards the immobilized Zhen Wei Hou! Without a doubt, Gu Tie Shou, who was always peaceful, wanted to kill today.
Seeing this scene, the Royal Nobles from the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom were shocked. Even though the group of Hun Yuan Hou wanted to save Zhen Wei Hou, they had to faced Gu Tie Shou who was wielding a Virtuous Paragon Life Treasure. As Royal Nobles, they didn’t have enough power to complete such a task.
“Brother Gu, show mercy!”
At this moment, a loud shout came from afar. A person came from across the sky and shouted from afar towards Gu Tie Shou.
Everyone watched as this person traversed the sky, like a violet light from the east. This person raised an Imperial Decree into the air and loudly said:
“Brother Gu, please show mercy. The Mortal King’s Amnesty Imperial Decree is here.”
Before, Zi Shan Hou came to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect to save Lie Zhan Hou. This time, Zi Shan Hou, again, came with an Amnesty Imperial Decree.
Seeing the Amnesty Imperial Decree, many people had cold sweat running down their skin. Many became emotional from seeing the Mortal King’s godly aura within the word “Amnesty”. Even the Royal Nobles from the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom didn’t dare to say anything.
The Mortal King was an incomparable character in the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom. During the Difficult Dao Era, many genius cultivators were stopped, but he was always flying forward. Rumor has it that he and Demon King Lun Ri of the Nine Saint Demon Gate were the greatest kings of the Grand Middle Territory!
When Zi Shan Hou held the amnesty order in his hand, it suppressed the Royal Nobles nearby. He quickly said:
“Brother Gu, Zhen Wei Hou had a misunderstanding. This time, there is also a spot for your respected sect to enter the Evil Infested Ridge. Everyone lives together in this territory and the Evil Infested Ridge is very dangerous; we should work together to take the treasures.”
His last visit to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect could be described as aggressive. However, this second time, today with the amnesty order, his attitude was a lot better.
Plus, when Zi Shan Hou was telling Gu Tie Shou these words, his eyes were naturally glancing at Li Qi Ye. Before, when Li Qi Ye only said one word, he then immediately cut the imperial word and destroyed the Mortal King’s will. Towards this legendary character with a Mortal Physique, Mortal Life, and Mortal Fate, the prime disciple of the third generation of the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect, he was a bit dreadful.
Zi Shan Hou, as a previous generation Royal Noble, had seen many waves and winds. He had a good eye for judging other people, as well as the ability to guess people’s thoughts.
There were many cultivators and sects here who were surprised because, after the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect lost their ancient kingdom, it no longer had the chance to participate in the Evil Infested Ridge. However, at this moment, the Heavenly Jewel Kingdom was especially compromising for the sect to enter the ridge!
