Capítulo 1480: Chapter 1455: Deranged Madness
Mysterious Realm.
Zhao Wudi listened to the report from his subordinates, sitting steadily on the golden throne.
His fingers gently tapped the armrest.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was oppressively tense.
The Sun Tribe’s leader, Jin Wu Shuo, said in a deep voice: “Chieftain, this matter is not trivial. That old man Tongtian has actually allied with the Sun and Moon Palace to set up the legendary Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar in the Southern Continent, likely to help the two palace masters of the Sun and Moon Palace restore their cultivation. We should plan ahead!”
Huorongyan, the leader of the Fire Tribe, who was engulfed in blazing flames, nodded in agreement: “Once the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar is activated, the entire Southern Continent will be scorched to ashes. The massive energy gathered could restore the two palace masters to their peak power. At that time…”
Everyone looked anxiously at Zhao Wudi.
Yet Zhao Wudi appeared indifferent: “It is the people of the Southern Continent who will die; what does it have to do with my Mysterious Realm? Furthermore, the two palace masters of the Sun and Moon Palace have just been resurrected, with less than one-tenth of their power remaining. Killing them now holds no meaning. Allow them to recover their strength through the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar, and then it will be a pleasure to slay them.”
In Zhao Wudi’s heart, his father Zhao Wuji had once single-handedly destroyed the Hall of Longevity.
That was the Hall of Longevity at its peak!
His lifelong goal was to surpass Zhao Wuji.
In his view…
To act when the two palace masters of the Sun and Moon Palace had just revived and had not yet restored their peak cultivation would be a great insult.
This was why Zhao Wudi, after emerging from retreat, did not immediately launch an attack on the Sun and Moon Palace.
“Chieftain, the people of the Southern Continent are also souls of the Qingtian Realm…” someone, feeling compassion, said.
“We should take action and stop this disaster!”
“Silence!”
Zhao Wudi snorted coldly, and as his icy gaze swept across, everyone couldn’t help but shut their mouths. He said expressionlessly, “My decision is made; do not bring this up again. As for the souls of the Southern Continent? In time, I will personally slay the palace masters of the Sun and Moon Palace and avenge them!”
Everyone opened their mouths.
But seeing Zhao Wudi’s cold demeanor, they dared not advise further and kept silent.
Meanwhile.
Outer battlefield, Azure Dragon Fortress.
“What?”
Fang Qingzhu stood up abruptly, looking incredulously at the Bai Fa Sword Emperor, “You said the old Tongtian has set up ten Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altars in the Southern Continent? To sacrifice the souls of the entire Southern Continent?”
“They’re insane, absolutely insane!”
“The souls of the Southern Continent are countless; how can they do this?”
“We must stop them!”
“Stop? How can we stop? That is the Sun and Moon Palace, and not to mention that the two palace masters are figures above the Holy Saint level, even Yue Yi and Yang Yi, the two at the peak king level, are not ones we can deal with…”
“The souls who remained in the Southern Continent were the traitors who refused to leave with us back then; why should we care about their lives?”
Among the crowd, some were indignant, while others were deeply hurt by the coldness and decisiveness of the Southern Continent’s souls at the time.
Ye Heng smirked among the crowd, recalling the time of departure, when some cheered, saying that Xiao Yi was selfish, only caring about building the Xiaoshanhe Institute and disregarding the lives of the people of the Southern Continent: “Mistress, let’s not bother with them…”
“Senior brother is right.”
Jin Feiyan was also dissatisfied, “Those who stayed in the Southern Continent and followed the old Tongtian chose that path themselves…”
“Enough!”
Fang Qingzhu scolded sternly, glancing at everyone with burning eyes, “If your master were here and heard your words, he would be very disappointed!”
Everyone froze.
Fang Qingzhu solemnly said each word, “What was Xiao Yi’s original intention in creating the Azure Sky Alliance? It was to protect the Qingtian Realm, to protect our home. They may have done things that hurt us, made us feel cold, but they are, after all, souls of the Qingtian Realm; they are our family. If Xiao Yi were here, he certainly wouldn’t choose to stand by and do nothing!”
“…”
The crowd remained silent.
Fang Qingzhu said firmly, “Who among you is willing to return to the Southern Continent with me to stop this disaster?”
“I will!”
Fang Ru was the first to step out, looking at Fang Qingzhu, he fondly ruffled her hair, “You are my only daughter, can a father watch his daughter walk into death’s door alone?”
“Father…”
Fang Qingzhu’s eyes reddened.
Fang Tianchi held a compass: “I’ve cast a divination, and it shows that we will be safe, we can go!”
“Mr. Fang’s calculations are unparalleled, since he says we’ll be safe, then there’s no problem!”
“What are we afraid of? We’ll go together!”
“Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, how could I not go?”
Everyone began to speak up, and the atmosphere lightened considerably.
Only Fang Tianmiu looked complexly at Fang Tianchi; he had just seen a dangerous divination on the compass. But seeing everyone’s righteous indignation and no longer the previous gloom, he kept his mouth shut.
Fang Qingzhu nodded, “Time is of the essence, everyone follow me back to the Qingtian Realm!”
All the powerful members of the Azure Sky Alliance marched grandly towards the Qingtian Realm.
…
Southern Continent.
The weather was pleasant with clear skies.
It was a rare good day!
Over the Xiaoshanhe Institute.
Old Tongtian, Yang Yi, Yue Yi, and a group of Sky-reaching Alliance experts stood respectfully in the void, when suddenly a void rift appeared in the space before them, and two figures emerged one after the other before the crowd.
Behind them were the experts of the Sun and Moon Palace.
“Greetings to the two Palace Masters!”
Old Tongtian stepped forward excitedly to claim credit, “Tongtian lived up to expectations and has already completed the altar’s arrangement!”
“Very good!”
Master Mingyue nodded in satisfaction, smiling, “Tongtian, you have made a great contribution to my Sun and Moon Palace. Once I recover my cultivation, you will be generously rewarded. The conditions we promised you will certainly be fulfilled!”
“Thank you, Palace Master, serving you is Tongtian’s honor, Tongtian is willing to dedicate everything for you!” Old Tongtian showed a fawning demeanor.
The Red Sun Palace Master said indifferently and impatiently, “Less nonsense, quickly take us to the altar’s location… Once we activate the altar and sacrifice the souls of the Southern Continent, we’ll restore our peak, and your benefits will naturally follow!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll take you there immediately!” Old Tongtian said hurriedly.
However…
Among the crowd, other Sky-reaching Alliance experts had changed expressions and questioned, “Tongtian, what does he mean by that? What does it mean to sacrifice the souls of the Southern Continent? What exactly is this altar?”
“Didn’t you say it was to enhance the world’s energy of the Southern Continent, to make it an Immortal Realm? How did it turn into sacrificing the souls of the Southern Continent?”
“You must give us an explanation!”
Although they betrayed the Azure Sky Alliance, it didn’t mean everyone was as heartless and cold-blooded as Old Tongtian.
Old Tongtian was dripping with cold sweat.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to face the crowd.
Meanwhile, the Red Sun Palace Master sneered, “A bunch of foolish idiots, you believed such nonsense about making the Southern Continent an Immortal Realm? The altar Tongtian built for us is the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar. Soon I will sacrifice the souls of the entire Southern Continent for our use, starting with you!”
“No…”
Old Tongtian’s face changed drastically.
But just as he opened his mouth, he was forced back by a cold glance from the Red Sun Palace Master: “What? Do you wish to stop me too?”
“No, no, I wouldn’t dare, Tongtian wouldn’t dare…” Old Tongtian immediately stepped aside.
The Red Sun Palace Master glanced at him with disdain and raised a hand.
A terrifying blood-red palm descended from the sky.
Like a blood-red sun.
With a loud crash.
The entire Xiaoshanhe Institute was flattened, and countless life energies, driven by the Red Sun Palace Master, gathered toward the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Sacrifice Altar…
