The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3018 - 2993: The Departure of the Poison God Clan
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
In the dead of night, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion inside the Great Hall.
At this moment, a young man walked out from the entrance, chuckling softly, he said, "Greetings, Venerable Lord!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures slightly opened his eyes, looked at the person, and gently laughed, "You’ve come at such a time!"
The young man laughed, "Today I heard that the Venerable Lord will begin seclusion for artifact refining starting tomorrow, hence tonight I took the liberty to visit. I initially thought to pay my respects when I reached Fire Lotus Mountain, but at that time, it was your birthday celebration, and you were quite busy, so I refrained. Please forgive me, Venerable Lord!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures said, "Whenever a warrior of the Ancestral Temple appears in the Southern Continent, it causes immense chaos, and this time, why have you emerged from the Ancestral Temple?"
This young man was indeed Shangguan Cun.
The young man chuckled, "The Ancient Stele of the Ancestral Temple shows that during this year’s birthday celebration of the Venerable Lord, a defiant person will emerge. This person will wield a rebellious artifact, bringing endless chaos to the Southern Continent!"
"I think this person has already appeared!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures softly said, "Are you referring to... Lin Bai?"
Shangguan Cun nodded, "Yes."
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures laughed, "So what do you mean? Are you here on behalf of the Ancestral Temple to request that I don’t help Lin Bai refine a weapon?"
Shangguan Cun chuckled, "I know that as a senior, the Venerable Lord’s word is his bond. Since you promised to refine artifacts at the birthday celebration, you certainly wouldn’t go back on your word. Even the Ancestral Temple has no right to interfere with your actions!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures chuckled, "Then why have you come to see me?"
Shangguan Cun said, "I only come on behalf of the Ancestral Temple to inquire about your opinion. After all, your strength makes you a pinnacle existence on the Barbaric Ancient Continent today!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures said, "The catastrophe of the Southern Continent, everything is destiny! You at the Ancestral Temple are too fond of meddling with Tiandao’s fate, but each time the Ancestral Temple has failed!"
"Since everything is destiny, why interfere?"
"In times of chaos, there will always be heroes emerging, bringing a different scenery to all under heaven. If so, why should we stop them!"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures said softly.
After a brief thought, Shangguan Cun chuckled, "I understand, I will relay the Venerable Lord’s words to the Ancestral Temple without alteration. I take my leave!"
With that, Shangguan Cun turned and left the hall!
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures watched Shangguan Cun leave, his eyes flashing as he murmured, "In these years, it seems the winds on the Barbaric Ancient Continent have shifted oddly!"
"The East Continent just endured the chaos of the Demon Sect, was seriously injured, then came the standoff between the Great Witch Dynasty and Shenwu Kingdom, two hegemons fighting to the death!"
"And now even the land of the Southern Continent is about to face a catastrophe!"
"This chaos, how many heroes will it forge?"
The Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures shook his head with a bitter smile.
The next day, the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures announced his seclusion for artifact refining.
And as the birthday celebration ended, many warriors began to leave Fire Lotus Mountain gradually.
...
At dusk.
Ye Suxin stood in the courtyard, watching the setting sun gradually descend at the horizon.
At this time, an old man with a snake-headed cane hobbled to the entrance of her residence, whispering, "Sect Leader, it has been confirmed that at dusk today, the warriors of the Poison God Clan will leave Fire Lotus Mountain!"
Ye Suxin nodded, "Good, have the Wolf King prepare!"
The Snake King nodded, "Yes!"
Subsequently, Ye Suxin and the Snake King left the residence together, entering into Fire Lotus Mountain, their destination unknown.
As the sun set in the west, a group of elders from the Poison God Clan and Xia Qiu left Fire Lotus Mountain together.
Xia Qiu had been injured by Lin Bai, and even now carried those injuries.
The warriors of the Poison God Clan did not leave via the Manwu River, but instead took a spirit boat to depart from Fire Lotus Mountain.
Three spirit boats of the Poison God Clan sped away in the afterglow of the setting sun, gradually distancing from Fire Lotus Mountain.
By midnight, the spirit boats of the Poison God Clan were already a hundred thousand miles away from Fire Lotus Mountain.
The Bright Moon hung high.
The spirit boats of the Poison God Clan came to a wilderness of barren mountains. At this moment, a sword cultivator wearing a Wolf King mask, holding a treasure sword, stood on a Lonely Mountain, watching the three spirit boats gradually approach!
As the three spirit boats reached the front, the Wolf King suddenly drew his sword, a dark sword aura sweeping across the sky, slashing down to strike the three spirit boats, slicing them directly to pieces.
Rumble!
A series of deafening, explosive sounds echoed.
The three spirit boats exploded open, and just at the moment the sword aura struck the spirit boats, several dozen strong ones dashed out from within, standing in mid-air, coldly eyeing the Wolf King ahead.
"Who dares seek death?"
"Have you lost your mind? Do you know whose spirit boats these are?"
"Seeking death?"
More than ten strong ones of the Poison God Clan stood in mid-air, coldly looking at the Wolf King ahead.
The Wolf King stood on the Lonely Mountain, silent.
At this moment, a woman’s soft chuckle came, "We certainly know whose spirit boats these are, the Poison God Clan’s spirit boats, is there anyone in the Southern Continent who does not recognize them?"
A Poison God Clan elder coldly said, "Since you know these are the Poison God Clan’s spirit boats, yet dare to seek death?"
At this moment, this woman walked out from the shadows, coming before the Poison God Clan’s crowd.
"It’s you!" Among the elders of the Poison God Clan, Xia Qiu immediately recognized this woman, who was indeed Ye Suxin by Lin Bai’s side.
Ye Suxin appeared in front of everyone, smiling slightly as she said, "I’m not here to seek death, but to send you to death!"
"Take action!"
Ye Suxin coldly chuckled once, speaking without any superfluous words, and directly made a move.
At that very moment, the Wolf King darted forward, with terrifying sword auras slashing towards the crowd of the Poison God Clan.
Meanwhile, the Snake King also chuckled coldly, flicking his cane, which transformed into a Swallowing Heaven Giant Serpent, attacking the crowd.
"Do you three think you can take action against the Poison God Clan?"
"Seeking death?"
"We have over ten strong ones of the Wending Realm here, even a peak Wending Realm strong one!"
The people of the Poison God Clan coldly said.
"Enough talk. If they want to die, let’s grant them that!" The peak Wending Realm elder of the Poison God Clan coldly said, immediately striking a palm to repulse the Wolf King.
Rumble!
A series of earth-shaking explosive sounds echoed in mid-air.
The peak Wending Realm elder attacked boldly, even the Wolf King found it hard to withstand.
"So troublesome! Nine-headed Snake!" Ye Suxin softly laughed, whispered.
Just as Ye Suxin’s voice fell, the entire wilderness rumbled with violent tremors, a massive creature surged from afar, nine heads lifting to the sky in a furious roar, with resounding echoes reverberating through the wilderness.
In an instant, as it charged over, it opened its massive maw, biting down, swallowing several Wending Realm strong ones whole.
"Prehistoric Giant Beast!"
"This..."
The warriors of the Poison God Clan exclaimed in astonishment.
The Nine-headed Snake joined the battle, unstoppable, wiping out over a dozen Wending Realm strong ones in an instant.
