Chapter 783: Chapter 439: Withered Glory Sacred Land!_2

This person hails from the Holy Land, of direct lineage, a prodigy in youth, known as the only Young Master.

Arrogant and conceited, he looks down upon all beings.

From an early age, he was haughty and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Due to the battle at Heavenly Gate two days ago, it was confirmed that Heavenly Gate City is located within the bounds of the Withered Glory Sacred Land.

Thus, the covert operations by the Demon Suppression Department and the review of past dossiers by experts from the department’s Main Hall have roughly clarified the origins and developments.

Over a hundred years ago, this Kurong Saint Master had not yet succeeded the Holy Land, possessing only the cultivation of the Refining God Realm.

But in order to advance his Refining God Realm to perfection, he performed a blood sacrifice of an entire Human Clan city, then secluded himself for ten years, achieving success in Creation.

However, this Blood Sacrifice Technique originated from the Heavenly Gate.

It was set up by the Heavenly Gate Master as a trap for him.

After the blood sacrifice, he was held by this leverage, manipulated by the Heavenly Gate.

From then on, he could only conceal from the Holy Alliance, protect the Heavenly Gate, seal off information, and isolate the existence of Heavenly Gate City.

Because of this, he was held by the leverage of the Heavenly Gate Master, thus concealing from the Holy Alliance and protecting the Heavenly Gate, sealing off the existence of Heavenly Gate City.

"I would rather he was influenced by the Immortal God Arena."

Shangguan Youqi handed the dossier back and sighed: "Such pure selfish desires in the human heart, the various evil deeds committed, really damn make me uncomfortable..."

——

Night falls.

After the battle at Heavenly Gate City, both Lin Yan and Shangguan Youqi seem quite exhausted.

But after leaving Heavenly Gate City, seeing no trace of people, they are on high alert, with no time to rest.

This place is only eight thousand miles from the Withered Glory Sacred Land.

With the speed of the Green Jade Divine Ship, departing early tomorrow morning could arrive by noon.

Thus, they are not in a hurry and decide to rest at a nearby large-scale Pure Land.

The master of this large-scale Pure Land is an elder at the Peak of Qi Refining Realm.

But relying on the Suppression Object of the large-scale Pure Land, even the most ferocious and evil entities dare not attack recklessly.

"According to the geographical map, less than three hundred miles away is a Blessed Land, why not rest there?"

The Little White Ape looked at the Deputy Commander and couldn’t help but ask.

"The Withered Glory Sacred Land has problems, the executives of various cities and Blessed Lands may not be trustworthy..."

The Deputy Commander said softly: "The rulers of various places are likely confidants planted by the Kurong Saint Master! Once the Old God in the city is manipulated, the consequences are unimaginable... the entities controlling the Blessed Land are also troublesome for us!"

He chuckles at this point, saying: "If this large-scale Pure Land really has problems, it is not troublesome for us either!"

He possesses the cultivation of Creation Peak, and relying on the Old God’s Magic Artifact, he can easily suppress a large-scale Pure Land.

"Saint Master, Holy Ape, Supreme Elder, the three of you, please bathe and cleanse here, then eat something and rest well for the night."

The Deputy Commander greeted: "I will guard outside, there won’t be the slightest problem."

"Today is the first, isn’t the Blood Food offered yet?"

At this moment, a low snarl came from beneath the Pure Land.

This Deputy Commander paused, his face turning blue and white.

Lin Yan and Shangguan Youqi exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed.

——

The edge of the large-scale Pure Land.

Only a black leopard was seen, with eyes cold as ice.

Underneath lay half a mutilated corpse.

"..."

The current Great Guardian of the Pure Land looked extremely grim.

That was the confidant he had just sent out.

He sent this person out to greet the black leopard, informing the other party of unexpected guests today, to avoid further complications, thus postponing the blood sacrifice for a night.

Unexpectedly, this fiend was truly mindless, directly devouring his man and then coming to demand the blood sacrifice.

"Quickly invite the ancestor here!" The Great Guardian said with a gloomy face, gnashing his teeth: "People of high rank from the Human Clan are staying here, tonight you’ve ruined things!"

"What high-ranking visitors?" The black leopard spoke in human terms, coldly: "Your Kurong Saint Master personally set the contract with our ancestor, on the first and fifteenth, offering Blood Food... we restrain the surrounding evils, not to invade! Now you want to go back on your word, do not blame our ancestor for letting loose the evils all around, attacking cities, causing your Human Clan unrest!"

"Those are not high ranks from our Holy Land, but from the Holy Alliance!" This Great Guardian said angrily: "Intended to keep those three concealed, but now you’ve ruined things, if your ancestor doesn’t act to silence them... once reported to the Holy Alliance, even our Saint Master will find big trouble!"

"He already has big trouble."

At this moment, a figure walked out from within the Pure Land.

Gold-threaded black robe, face icy cold.

He held a knife, murderous intent thick.

"Damn it!"

The Great Guardian of this Pure Land instantly formed a spell and was about to invoke the Suppression Object of this large-scale Pure Land.

And at the central position of the large-scale Pure Land, at the edge of the Suppression Object.

Shangguan Youqi placed one hand on this Suppression Object.

He quietly observed and softly said, "This thing doesn’t seem to be a weapon, it looks like a hammer, but why is the end soft..."

"I heard this Suppression Object is supposed to be a drum hammer!"

The Deputy Commander whispered, "This hammer is not for killing the enemy, but for striking the drum surface to make a sound! In the University Scholar Pavilion within the Holy Alliance Destiny City, there has been a record of it... Unfortunately, the location of that Divine Drum can’t be found yet, otherwise, it would definitely be an immensely powerful Supreme Treasure!"

Shangguan Youqi pondered, "If you find the Divine Drum, what would you do?"

The Deputy Commander said, "Relocate the population of this place, awaken the Suppression Object, exhaust the Old God’s Power within, completely subdue it, and turn it into an Old God’s Magical Object for the Human Clan!"

"This is equivalent to erasing a large-scale Pure Land."

Shangguan Youqi sighed, "Going to such lengths for an Old God’s Magical Object, destroying a large-scale Pure Land, may not be worthwhile."

The Deputy Commander said, "Whether it’s worthwhile or not, usually, in Destiny City, the esteemed scholars in the University Scholar Pavilion would conduct simulations, and only after getting approval from the Supreme Pavilion, with half votes passed... would it be executed!"

"That’s somewhat reasonable."

Shangguan Youqi nodded, reached out to pat the drum hammer, and retracted his hand.

The Deputy Commander was taken aback for a moment and whispered, "You’re no longer suppressing this Suppression Object? If it gets activated, we might not fear it, but this large-scale Pure Land would suffer disturbances..."

"That old guy, who could communicate with the Suppression Object, you call him the Great Guardian, is already dead..."

Shangguan Youqi patted his clothes and said, "The Saint Master is grabbing that black leopard to find that damned old ancestor, to avoid any mishaps. You keep an eye here, I’ll go assist him!"

The Deputy Commander hurriedly nodded upon hearing this.

He knew the importance of the Saint Master, and it couldn’t be compromised.

Earlier when the Saint Master volunteered to go into battle, he wasn’t very supportive, but since the Supreme Elder agreed, he dared not speak further.

Now seeing the Supreme Elder personally going to help, he was wholeheartedly in agreement.

But just at that moment, a voice was heard.

"No need, it’s settled."

In the darkness outside the Pure Land, a golden light suddenly flashed.

A phantom bud appeared, then bloomed, transforming into the silhouette of a lotus.

And on the phantom, a giant golden human figure had already emerged.

In the hand of this human figure, it held a black Leopard Demon.

Clearly as big as a hill, yet in the hand of that golden figure, like a little cat.

"Is this a Heavenly Demon nearly at the Ancestor Blood Saint level?"

The Deputy Commander’s expression slightly changed, whispering, "Why is the Qi Mechanism so peculiar?"

"It’s merely a Demon King comparable to the Creation Peak, possessed by a Saint Spirit surpassing its tier, taking over the flesh body."

Shangguan Youqi spoke, "However, it possesses the advantages of both a demon and evil spirit, and if it truly comes to a battle, you holding the Supreme Treasure at Creation Peak, might fall..."

"It’s figured out."

Lin Yan threw the already deceased Leopard Demon onto the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Within the Withered Glory Sacred Land region, in the Three Prefectures’ lands, this is common... The Kurong Saint Master personally signed a contract, periodically using blood food sacrifices to exchange for the protection of powerful demons and evils, to restrain ordinary little demons and wandering evil spirits."

"Among them, there are Demon Kings and Evil Venerables, Heavenly Demons that have Ascended Sanctum, and Saint Spirits. Even an ancient evil demon that slumbers in the Forbidden Land has once awakened to sign a contract with the Kurong Saint Master."

"Something is very wrong with this!"

Lin Yan looked at the Deputy Commander and said, "Hasn’t the Demon Suppression Department got even a whisper of this?"

"The Demon Suppression Department was established not long ago, and reaching the current scale was only possible through the Alliance Hierarch’s full efforts..."

The Deputy Commander said in a low voice, "The branches of the Demon Suppression Department in various places were not built in a day, but were gradually established. They have to negotiate with various Sacred Lands and operate independently of them, all the while overseeing them, which is extremely difficult!"

"The Withered Glory Sacred Land has always been stable in the past, so the establishment of the Demon Suppression Department’s branches by the Holy Alliance was scheduled later."

"Ten years ago, the first branch of the Demon Suppression Department was established in Anyun Prefecture in the Withered Glory Sacred Land."

"Three years ago, branches in all cities of the Withered Glory Sacred Land were completed."

"From the looks of it now... the establishment of the Demon Suppression Department’s branches had interference from Celestials ranked high within the Holy Alliance!"
