Chapter 1128 - 1128 1128 The reappearance of the Order of the Holy Fire_1

1128: Chapter 1128: The reappearance of the Order of the Holy Fire_1 1128: Chapter 1128: The reappearance of the Order of the Holy Fire_1 The Black Corpse Mountain Range lies in the northern part of the Southern Wasteland Continent, bordering the realms of the Four Major Forces: the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, Tai Yuan Palace, Chunqiu Sect, and Refining God Sect.

Much like the Beichuan Desert Sea, it doesn’t belong to any one power and is a lawless territory.

During the time when the Saint Heaven Sect was ruling the Southern Wasteland Continent, the Black Corpse Mountain Range had already existed, housing many heinous individuals, including some traitors from the Four Major Forces, and even powerful beings.

Perhaps because of the Four Major Forces’ reluctance to meddle, the Black Corpse Mountain Range became a haven for those seeking refuge, gradually developing with its own cities even.

The largest black market in the Southern Wasteland Continent is nestled within the Black Corpse Mountain Range.

No matter the origin, anything can be traded here, and this is one of the main reasons the Black Corpse Mountain Range continues to exist.

At morning, in the central region of the Black Corpse Mountain Range, a blood-colored figure desperately flees with a dozen black-clothed men in pursuit.

“Wang Quan, you can’t escape.

Hand over what you have, and I might spare your life.”

The threat in the voice from behind was unmistakable, causing Wang Quan’s face to harden.

He knew that even if he handed over the item, he would still meet his end.

He could only keep running, hoping that if he made it out of the Black Corpse Mountain Range, there might be a chance for survival.

However, being seriously injured, he was no match for the black-clothed men behind him.

They quickly caught up with him and surrounded him in the center.

“Hand over the item, or you won’t live to see the end of the day.”

The man leading the black-clothed men was a middle-aged man whose looks screamed of ruthlessness.

He coldly stared at Wang Quan, a murderous look in his eyes.

“Hmph, don’t think I’m a fool.

Even if I hand over the item, will you really let me live?”

Wang Quan’s grip tightened on his sword hilt.

There was no escaping his fate today.

“If you refuse our generous offer, then don’t blame us for our lack of courtesy.”

The brutal man’s tone became colder, and with the fall of his last words, he signaled his men.

The other men in black pursued this as their cue, charging towards Wang Quan, launching their attack.

Given that Wang Quan was already grievously injured, he stood no chance against these men.

In less than fifteen minutes, he was suppressed and led to kneel in front of the brutal man.

He was covered in blood, death was not far away.

The brutal man directly broke off Wang Quan’s ring-containing finger, took off the Storage Ring and forcibly scrubbed a sliver of divine power from within the ring before starting to examine the ring’s contents.

“The item isn’t inside the Storage Ring, search his body.”

Not finding what he was looking for, the brutal man ordered a nearby black-clad man to search Wang Quan’s body.

Soon enough, the black-clothed man found a token on Wang Quan’s body and handed it to the brutal man.

“Is this the Order of the Holy Fire?”

The brutal man looked at the token, greed surfacing in his eyes.

The Holy Fire Order was related to the secrets left by the Saint Heaven Sect, the grandest secret on the Southern Wasteland Continent that enticed everyone.

If one could obtain the secrets left by the Saint Heaven Sect, they could potentially become a Peerless Powerhouse.

That alone was enough to drive anyone mad.

“You think just by having the Holy Fire Order, you can uncover the secrets of the Saint Heaven Sect?”

Wang Quan scoffed before saying, “I have already informed my brethren.

If I am incapacitated, they will immediately disseminate the news.

Once Jiu Xiao Dynasty, Tian Yuan Palace, and Zhenyang Sect learn the Order of the Holy Fire has surfaced in the Black Corpse Mountain Range, do you really believe you will retain the Holy Fire Order?”

If the Order of the Holy Fire were to appear, it would shake the whole Southern Wasteland Continent.

By then, the Five Great Powers of the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, Tai Yuan Palace, Chunqiu Sect, Refining God Sect, Zhenyang Sect would undoubtedly aim to seize the Holy Fire Order.

The Black Corpse Mountain Range forces would never be able to keep the Holy Fire Order under this onslaught.

In relation to the grandest secret of the Southern Wasteland Continent, none of the forces would easily back down.

At Wang Quan’s words, the brutish man’s face changed instantly.

With a wave of his hand, Wang Quan was cut down.

“Return at once.

Eliminate all who are tied to Wang Quan!”

……

As the days passed, quickly half a month had gone by from the battle at the Desolate Beast Plain.

After half a month of recuperation, except for a few disciples who were severely injured, the others had mostly recovered.

Blood Mad Butcher, Earth Dragon Truth, Jun Lingtian and others had healed from their injuries.

Just as Li Yuanba was preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Refining God Sect, news suddenly reached Zhenyang Sect.

“Senior, is the news reliable?”

Li Yuanba looked at Earth Dragon Truth.

If the news was true, they couldn’t afford to take it lightly.

“The news should be true.”

Even Earth Dragon Truth couldn’t be confident about the authenticity of the news.

“Regardless of whether the news is true or not, the Holy Fire Order is a serious matter.

‘Tis better to believe it is real than to be caught unprepared.”

The Holy Fire Order was linked to the grandest secret of the Southern Wasteland Continent.

Even a glimmer of hope was worth pursuing to seize it, especially now that it had surfaced on the Southern Wasteland Continent.

Presently, Blood Mad Butcher, Qiu Canfeng, Long Chen, Zhan Wushuang, Lei Xiaotian, Jun Lingtian and others were all gathered there.

Upon hearing the news, they all furrowed their brows.

They were all too aware of the significance of the Holy Fire Order.

“Indeed, the Holy Fire Order is of utmost importance.

Whether or not the news is reliable, we should still head to the Black Corpse Mountain Range to find out.

Just in case the news turns out to be true, we cannot let the Asura Alliance and Hidden Dragon Pavilion get ahead of us.”

Blood Mad Butcher agreed with Earth Dragon Truth’s views as well.

Back when the Holy Fire Order had surfaced in the Black Chasha Sea Area, all the major forces braved the danger to vie for it.

Now, with the Holy Fire Order surfacing in the Southern Wasteland Continent, there was no reason for the Zhenyang Sect not to compete for it.

Qiu Canfeng, Jun Lingtian, and the others shared the same sentiment.

“It seems our plan to deal with the Refining God Sect will have to wait.”

Li Yuanba also recognized the importance of the Holy Fire Order.

For now, their attack on the Refining God Sect would have to be postponed.

The quest to seize the Holy Fire Order was more pressing.

“We received the news, and so will the Asura Alliance and Hidden Dragon Pavilion without a doubt.

There’s no time to waste; we must hurry to the Black Corpse Mountain Range.”

If the Asura Alliance and Hidden Dragon Pavilion were allowed to get a head start, the Holy Fire Order might end up in their hands.

“Let’s make a trip to the Black Corpse Mountain Range.”

Long Chen and Zhan Wushuang decided on the spot to represent the Zhenyang Sect in the race for the Holy Fire Order.

“How can I miss such an opportunity?”

Lei Xiaotian certainly wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip by.

All the major forces vying for the Holy Fire Order would undoubtedly lead to battles, and that was his favorite part.

After discussing, it was decided that six from the Zhenyang Sect: Blood Mad Butcher, Qiu Canfeng, Long Chen, Zhan Wushuang, Lei Xiaotian, and Lei Youyou would lead a dozen or so powerhouses to the Black Corpse Mountain Range.

From the Jiu Xiao Dynasty, Jun Lingtian personally led several powerhouses to the Black Corpse Mountain Range.

At the same time, both Asura Alliance and Hidden Dragon Pavilion, who had received the news, also dispatched powerhouses to hasten to the Black Corpse Mountain Range.
