Chapter 447: Chapter 400: They All Died

Zhao Wudao’s arrival immediately alarmed the three thousand young elites present, each of whom looked at him with awe.

"Brother Wudao has finally arrived, making us wait quite a while," one of them said.

The Saint Heirs and Saintesses at the top were all smiles as they welcomed him to the highest table, which set him apart from the others.

Facing his peers, equally distinguished and powerful, Zhao Wudao was no longer expressionless, instead, a smile crept across his face as they exchanged toasts and laughter at the highest banquet table.

Zhao Tianyi looked at Zhao Wudao coldly for a moment but eventually withdrew his gaze, knowing well that such powerful beings could sense when they were being watched.

Ye Chen glanced at Zhao Tianyi, thoughtful.

The gathering continued, yet it was clear that fewer than three thousand people had actually arrived, a significant number of the young elites were absent.

This included heirs from some Immortal Forces, otherwise, there definitely would have been more people, as rumors had spoken of more than twenty Saint Child Level elites gathering to enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, but only half had gathered so far.

Perhaps those Saint Heirs didn’t deign to participate in such a gathering.

About an hour later, someone spoke up, signaling the young elites to be quiet.

"Fellow Daoists, today we have summoned you here to discuss entering the Purple Mansion Sacred Land."

The person who spoke was a Saint Heir at the highest table, standing with a sunny smile, his whole being radiating a peculiar charm that made him likable.

He was a Saint Son of Dao Yan Sacred Land, strong and highly positioned, almost seen as the next Holy Land Master by the others.

At that moment, he stood tall on a platform, smiling at the three thousand young elites, "I believe all of you have come through fierce competition to earn your places to enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, each of you a true champion with limitless potential."

It had to be said, this Dao Yan Saint Son was quite popular; his praiseful words made many happy, especially coming from a distinguished Saint Heir.

"But as you all know, the Purple Mansion Sacred Land is mysterious, even Saint Lords dare not claim it’s completely safe, hence it is crucial we form an alliance to ensure everyone’s safety to the greatest extent."

Many of the young elites nodded in agreement, well-aware of the various rumors surrounding the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.

Rumors had it that the leaders of each of the Immortal Forces had brought Forbidden Level terrifying Forbidden Artifacts specifically to counter the evil within the Sacred Land.

These younger and weaker heirs had more need to ally for self-preservation.

Otherwise, acting alone, they could easily perish.

Indeed, over ninety percent of the young elites expressed their agreement, the remaining less than ten percent, who remained silent, were deemed to have consented, like Ye Chen and Zhao Tianyi.

However, the expressions of the other Saint Heirs and Saintesses were cold and merciless, their eyes revealing a hint of disdain.

"Respected Saint Heirs and Saintesses, you all follow the Saint Lords and must know some specific information about the Purple Mansion Sacred Land. Could you please share some details so that we may understand better?" a young elite asked with a bow.

"Yes, esteemed Saint Heirs and Saintesses, please enlighten us," the many young elites echoed.

But the expressions of the Saint Heirs and Saintesses remained cold, including Zhao Wudao who had arrived later. This was a closely held secret, known only to the high ranks of the Immortal Sacred Lands and not to be casually disclosed.

To them, these elites were merely pawns in the alliance, bait to attract the evils, and the talk of alliance was nothing but a farce that could be abandoned at any pivotal moment.

"Indeed, I think we should be honest," the Dao Yan Saint Son spoke again, although the expressions of the other Saint Heirs and Saintesses shifted slightly, "Dao Chu, you should understand the importance of these secrets, even we are not allowed to disclose them lightly, lest we face punishment from the elders."

The gathered young elites tensed slightly, what kind of secrets were these that even those of such high status could not casually reveal?

"Since we have formed an alliance, we should be open and honest to prevent any unexpected incidents."

Dao Chu of Dao Yan Sacred Land spoke up, the other Saint Heirs and Saintesses fell silent, no longer attempting to stop him.

"Please do tell, Saint Heir," the many young elites urged.

"Alright, since it involves important secrets, I can only share so much."

Dao Chu’s sunny expression turned solemn, his handsome features tinged with gravity as he revealed some significant secrets, making everyone perk up their ears to listen.

Just a few days ago, on the night of a full moon, an unknown and strange incident occurred in the Divine Death Mountain Range, with sinister entities appearing. What is clear is that there exist beings there, and they are terribly frightening.

Because the powerful protectors outside the Divine Death Mountain Range encountered an accident, when they were guarding, the star-filled night sky suddenly turned gloomy with heavy clouds, chilling winds began to howl, accompanied by a terrifying blood rain swirling in the air, and the booming of Blood Thunder, with the shocking appearance of an Evil Monster.

Under the flash of lightning, they discovered a terrifying monster suddenly appeared, its body covered in red fur, massive in size, with a ferocious face, tusks protruding from its mouth, and its eyes, a striking emerald green, incredibly horrifying.

On the spot, it easily tore apart three Divinity Transformation Peak experts, annihilated their Primordial Spirits, slaughtered many powerful beings, and blood-stained the Divine Death Mountain Range. It even captured a powerful Semi-Saint expert, who despite deploying all his Divine Skills, could not defend against it and was directly dragged into the Holy Land, vanishing, leaving only the Semi-Saint’s screams echoing for a moment.

This incident naturally caught the attention of the major Holy Lands, and even characters at the Saint Lord Level personally went to investigate, but they couldn’t figure out what it was exactly, nor did they know from whence it came, but it was suppressed by the major forces and did not spread.

Upon hearing the narration of the Dao Yan Saint Son, many in the audience felt chills in their hearts, a bone-deep cold spreading.

Unexpectedly, there were such terrifying creatures within the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, previously believed to be merely an uninhabited Ghost Realm. Now it seemed, it was far more monstrous than imagined.

After forming an alliance, the young elites were informed of some important news about the Purple Mansion Sacred Land, weighing heavily on their minds.

Although the Purple Mansion Sacred Land contained Divine Treasures of a Supreme Sacred Land, it also came with endless dangers.

If it weren’t for the owners of the various Immortal Forces deciding to lead the charge this time, and bringing Forbidden Level Magic Artifacts, they wouldn’t dare to recklessly enter; that would be nothing but a death sentence.

Even a Semi-Saint was easily captured, let alone these young successors, many of whom weren’t even at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

The banquet finally dispersed, with all the young powerhouses preparing to enter the Purple Mansion Sacred Land.

Zhao Wudao also left with his brother, striding majestically, so imposing that all the young elites had to step aside, not daring to block their way.

However, when they reached the vicinity of Ye Chen and others, Zhao Jun suddenly glanced at them, and looking at Zhao Tianyi, could not help but sneer and raise his eyebrows in disdain, "Zhao Tianyi, so this waste is actually here too, unexpected."

Zhao Jun’s words attracted the attention of everyone present, all eyes turned towards them, becoming the center of focus.

Zhao Tianyi glared back coldly, "If you have the right to be here, why can’t I be?"

"How can you compare to me? I am a scion of the royal family, while you are nothing but a commoner ousted by our Zhao Country, laughable," Zhao Jun scoffed.

An ousted prince of Zhao Country?

Many were shocked, looking at Zhao Tianyi, eager to know what exactly had happened.

"Zhao Jun, if it hadn’t been for that shameless Empress framing us, my mother and I wouldn’t have been ousted," Zhao Tianyi grew furious when he spoke of this, his anger flaring like a lion with bristling mane.

If it weren’t for the present Empress continuously framing them in the ears of the Zhao Country’s Emperor, coupled with Zhao Wudao being favored from a young age, even many royal elders had high hopes for him, having seized the major trends, otherwise, he and his mother wouldn’t have been ousted from the Royal Family.

Zhao Jun sneered, "A waste remains a waste, even if you were framed, so what? Who asked your mother to look like a fox spirit, only good at seducing? It’s right that you were driven out, lest you bring disrepute to our Zhao Country."

"Zhao Jun, I will kill you!"

Zhao Tianyi seethed with rage, insults directed at him could be tolerated, but the insult towards his only kin, his mother, could not. He rushed forward, disregarding the Qingcheng Palace’s rules against fighting, and in an instant tried to press down a divine seal.

"Stop being rude!"

A thunderous shout exploded in the Wonder Palace, like the striking of a Divine Bell, deafening; the entire Wonder Palace shook, many young powerhouses felt their ears buzzing, turning pale and shocked as they looked at the shouting Zhao Wudao.

Just a fierce shout, yet it possessed such colossal power, causing many young elites to feel as though their ears were splitting, almost spitting blood.

Zhao Tianyi, being the forefront, was particularly targeted, with waves of invisible sound blasting towards him, directly shattering the newly-formed divine seal in his hand, knocking him back, his bones misaligning, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

This was terrifying, just the force of one shout had heavily injured a young elite who had stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm, was this the true strength of the Prince of Zhao?

Ye Chen stepped forward, slapped Zhao Tianyi on the back, with a mysterious force entering his body, quietly dissolving Zhao Wudao’s power, and also stepping in between, standing at a critical point, causing Zhao Wudao’s frightening aura to scatter, unable to press down on Zhao Tianyi like a giant mountain.

"Brother Ye, thank you!"

Looking at Ye Chen, Zhao Tianyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gratefully expressed his thanks.

At this moment, Zhao Wudao looked towards Ye Chen, his stern face showing a bit of surprise, but still mostly cold, "Interesting, you can actually dissolve my power and aura, not bad. But that’s it. Birds of a feather flock together. Zhao Tianyi, I thought being driven from the royal family would lead you somewhere, but in the end, it’s just this. Get lost, I don’t want to bother with someone like you, a talking waste."

"You!" Zhao Tianyi colored.

But Ye Chen stepped forward, locking eyes with Zhao Wudao, and said with a light smile, "You must be Zhao Wudao. Nice name, but a bit too arrogant, and too self-centered, thinking you’re invincible under the heavens."

"In the past, I’ve met people as arrogant as you, but they’re all dead!"
