Chapter 308 - Biggest Winner (1/2)

"Sword God Feng Shang has entered the Devil Soul Forbidden Land…."

At the border of South Barren and the Great Wilderness, there was a huge ship floating in the clouds. The four magnates of Xiao Mang Celestial Race, Yin, Qing, Yuan and Que were standing on the deck looking at the direction of Swords Gate from afar. They were too far from Swords Gate and couldn't see what was going on, but somehow they were able to perceive the development of situations in Swords Gate.

Beside the huge ship was a white-skeletal demon fortress which was surrounded by Demonic Qi. There were a few demon girls with umbrellas and fans Mistress Hua Zhen who was sitting under the umbrella.

Not far away from them, there was a stream of string water flowing in the clouds, and the water vapor moistened the air. At the center was the mouth of the spring; it was 30 feet in diameter, and it swirled rapidly spurting out the spring waters.

You and Quan, the two elders, were standing on the spring water while behind them were the Xia family and Zhu Rong family's Martial Masters and Qi Practitioners – they were all filled in killing intents.

Beside them was the dragon race's dragon boat, four elder dragons were standing on the deck with the dragon disciples behind them.

Although they weren't magnates, these four elder dragons were the Heavenly Dharma elders from the Chi, Yu, Jiao and Po Clans. The Ao Clan didn't come as Ao Fenglou's words stopped them, but the other four clans didn't give up the chance to reap some rewards from Swords Gate. One of which was a piece of land out of the sea.

The long-standing hatred between the dragon race and the Zhong Li Celestial Race was the reason for the absence of the dragon race's magnates as the four dragon clans were afraid that the Zhong Li Celestial Race would target their magnates.

Beside the dragon boat was a floating mountain, on the top of the mountain was a huge Shan Shen statue. Before the colossal statue were three priests of the Shan Shen Celestial Race, who were chanting while the disciples knelt on the ground and chanted along.

Beside them were three huge soul weapons from the West Barren – the Dang Hu Celestial Race's Bird Nest, Shen Si Celestial Race's War Chariot, and Ming She Celestial Race's Whip. These three celestial races were considered among the more prominent races. Although they could not be compared to behemoth powers like the Shan Shen and Xiao Mang Celestial Race, their population still numbered in the millions.

These three celestial races said that they were only here to save their imprisoned seniors in the Seal Suppression Hall, but their intentions were clear to everyone else. They were here for their chance to devour the Great Wilderness.

"The success rate is nearly zero with Feng Shang in Swords Gate, but now, as the great Sword God has entered the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, it's time for us to act!"

Xiao Yin looked at the others, smiled and said, "The transfer of power in happening in Swords Gate, this is the time where they are at their most vulnerable. Shall we head over and congratulate the new headmaster for his appointment?"

The huge ship, dragon boat, demon fortress, godly mountain all moved, flying toward the Swords Gate Mountain.

The old man had really entered the Devil Soul Forbidden Land….

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er watched as their headmaster leaped down from the precipice into the Devil Soul Forbidden Land. That was a path of no return; any outsider would have to face the relentless assault of the evil creatures in it. It was only through Xin Huo's guidance and luck that Zhong Yue was able to escape.

Although weakened, the seal was still so strong that it could even crush the pseudo beast god like a petty bug. The old headmaster wouldn't have the strength to break through the seal or otherwise, the previous headmasters wouldn't have died in it either.

However, with the old headmaster entering the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, it was tantamount to tying the Swords Gate's hands behind its back. It had just lost its greatest deterring force to leave the fate of humanity in the hands of those that wished to devour them!

To Zhong Yue, this was something the headmaster would never abide.

So who could it be? The one that entered would never be the headmaster himself; it can only be someone else … Elder Pu? No, no, Elder Pu is too weak. Then, this man could only be….

Sadness and sorrow glutted filled his heart as the person's true identity became clear to him. He silently gave his respects in his heart.

Senior Shouzhu, he went in place of headmaster….

Even if he had figured it out, he was still powerless to do anything to save him. Feng Shouzhu must die in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land; the scattered souls of the gods in the forbidden land were trying another attempt to break the seal away and return to the world. Only an existence at the level of headmaster could stop them, to crush away the fermenting danger in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land and push back the time of the eruption of the Devil Soul Yin Effluvium! But the price they would have to pay was their lives!

The last eruption of the Devil Soul Yin Effluvium was earlier than expected; this meant that the devil souls in the forbidden land were growing stronger than before at an increasing rate. In no time, they could come again, and this time, it wouldn't be an eruption of a simple Devil Soul Yin Effluvium anymore, but the whole Devil Soul Forbidden Land!

The only way to prevent such a disastrous event was to kill it off before it happens. To do that, Feng Shouzhu would have to burn all of his energy and fight until the end of his life in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land to earn half a millennia's time for humanity. Otherwise, the whole of Swords Gate would have to face the wrath of the Devil Soul Forbidden Land at any time within the next seven years!

Humanity has never lacked unsung heroes like Senior Feng Shouzhu. We never lacked warriors that were willing to die for our future! A race like ours does not deserve to be treated as the most inferior race. We can't just resign ourselves to be food for others!

Zhong Yue held Qiu Jin'er's hand and stepped on the sky and trod across the precipice.

"Seal Suppression Hall Hall Master!"

On the other side, the Qi Practitioners were gathered to see the 'old headmaster' off, they raised their heads up and saw Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er. Suddenly, Grand Elder Yu sighed, he said, "Hall master of the Seal Suppression Hall, you are late, the old headmaster has gone … Quick, come over and meet our new headmaster, this is our new headmaster of Swords Gate, Headmaster Feng Wuji."

Zhong Yue stepped forward, he bowed and greeted the headmaster. He said in the most indifferently, "Seal Suppression Hall, Hall Master Zhong Yue, greets the headmaster."

Rays inconspicuously flashed across Feng Wuji's eyes. He smiled and said, "Please, spare me the formalities. I'm incompetent as the headmaster. Since everyone is here today, then I might as well take this opportunity to announce my first and final decision as Swords Gate headmaster."

He glanced around before he said sonorously, "I've only accepted to act as the headmaster under the tenacious request of the late headmaster, but in fact, I have little to none interest in acting as headmaster. As the late headmaster has left us today, I have no intention to hold this position anymore; and now, I will dismiss myself from the headmaster's position and pass it to a man better than myself."

As he spoke, the crowd uncontrollably plunged into an uproar. This was even more shocking than when Feng Wuji was anointed the next headmaster.
