Chapter 1222: Chapter 1220: The Shocking Plot of the Five Poison Sect! (Part 2)

Back then, the Five Poison Sect selected three hundred disciples from Lingdong and sent them to the Miracle Ridge to search for the Divine Bone.

These three hundred people were meticulously chosen by the Five Poison Sect for their utmost loyalty and exceptional talent as warriors. Once they entered the Miracle Ridge, they adapted quickly and immediately received significant attention and cultivation.

In just twenty short years.

Nearly half of these three hundred had become high-ranking figures within the Miracle Ridge.

Among these three hundred, the two most outstanding individuals were none other than Zhao Longtu and the Director of the Fist Daoist Courtyard.

One of them was one of the three Sect Leader Supremes of the Miracle Ridge, a being above ten thousand others!

And the other was the Dean of the Fist Daoist Courtyard, overseeing the entire Courtyard with extraordinary strength!

After Zhao Longtu shakily wrote down all these names, Lin Bai took a look after both Master Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun had seen them.

Above these warriors, there were some names that were especially familiar to Lin Bai.

"Diao Yiran?"

Lin Bai saw a familiar name.

Unexpectedly, this woman was also a Dark Child of the Five Poison Sect!

Following Dugu Yun, Master Ye Wuhuan, and after Lin Bai finished reading these names,

several Elders in the Sect Leader’s Hall immediately moved, attempting to rush out of the hall!

"Stop them, execute them all on the spot!"

Master Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun cried out.

The names of these more than ten fleeing Elders were indeed on Zhao Longtu’s list!

Hearing the cries of Master Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun, a large number of warriors surged forward and jointly exterminated these individuals.

Master Ye Wuhuan meticulously compared the names of the warriors present and found there were no longer any from the Five Poison Sect.

Lin Bai said, "Zhao Longtu, did the Five Poison Sect select these three hundred disciples to enter the Miracle Ridge all to search for the Divine Bone?"

Zhao Longtu nodded and replied, "Yes."

Lin Bai softly asked, "Why would the Five Poison Sect go to such lengths, laying out a plan over twenty years, just to find this piece of Divine Bone? What exactly do they want to do?"

"Does the Divine Bone have other plans for the Five Poison Sect?"

Clunk!

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s question, Zhao Longtu’s eyes trembled, and his whole body shook!

He knew that once he revealed the plans of the Five Poison Sect, they would absolutely not spare him!

Lin Bai calmly watched Zhao Longtu. Seeing his reaction, Lin Bai grew even more convinced that the Five Poison Sect must have their own purpose for searching the Divine Bone!

"Speak, what does the Five Poison Sect want the Divine Bone for?"

Both Master Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun’s expressions were chilling as they demanded answers.

After struggling for a moment, Zhao Longtu finally clenched his teeth and slowly said, "It’s for the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation!"

Lin Bai, Dugu Yun, and Master Ye Wuhuan were all at a loss.

"What is the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation?"

Lin Bai asked.

Zhao Longtu explained, "The Holy Ancestor of the Five Poisons, grievously injured, came to Lingdong and established the Five Poison Sect in a short span of time. However, due to the severe nature of her injuries, she passed away in seclusion in an undisclosed location."

"The Five Poison Sect has been searching for the Holy Ancestor’s tomb ever since."

"Over thirty years ago, the Sect Hierarch finally found the Holy Ancestor’s tomb, and upon entering, he discovered a secret!"

Zhao Longtu said faintly.

Lin Bai and Master Ye Wuhuan held their breath in anticipation; the secret Zhao Longtu was about to reveal could very well be the catalyst for everything unfolding in Lingdong!

"What secret?"

Dugu Yun demanded coldly.

Zhao Longtu let out a sigh and said, "We discovered in the tomb of the Holy Ancestor that she didn’t pass away through meditation but chose self-induced hibernation due to severe injuries!"

"She entered a state close to death!"

"I believe Master Ye Wuhuan is quite familiar with such a state."

"Isn’t your Ice Extinguishing Skill of the Holy Night Dynasty derived from a secret technique within our Five Poison Sect’s treasured ’Five Saints Mocking the Heavens Scripture’?"

When Zhao Longtu said this, he looked towards Ye Wuhuan.

Ye Wuhuan heard this and his face twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Ye Suxin’s eyes showed a look of terror upon hearing this, "The Ice Extinguishing Skill comes from ’Five Saints Mocking the Heavens Scripture’? Does that mean there might be a way to undo the Ice Extinguishing Skill within the scripture?"

Ye Wuhuan said, "And then?"

Zhao Longtu continued, "The Holy Ancestor, ten thousand years ago, was a unique genius on the Barbaric Ancient Continent. She altered the principles of the Ice Extinguishing Skill and set up a heaven-defying Magic Circle!"

"She entered death through the means of the Ice Extinguishing Skill,"

"and then, with the Great Array, she infused a continuous stream of life force!"

"In doing so, the Holy Ancestor could potentially reverse life and death and live once more!"

"But alas, the Holy Ancestor was so gravely injured at the time that she had only just set up the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation before she perished."

"Before her death, however, she left behind words saying that once this Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation was activated, it would reverse life and death, and she would live again!"

"Therefore, the Five Poison Sect has always been pondering how to activate the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation."

Zhao Longtu said indifferently.

The Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation? To resurrect the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor!

Lin Bai heard Zhao Longtu’s words, and his face showed an expression of disbelief.

Lin Bai asked, "But what do all these things you mentioned, resurrecting the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor, have to do with the Divine Bone?"

Zhao Longtu slowly said, "Later, the Sect Hierarch discovered that activating the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation would require a vast amount of energy."

"Such immense energy is almost impossible to find within the Territory of all nations, unless one looks in the East Continent where a few might be found!"

"But then, the Sect Hierarch remembered that on the Miracle Ridge, there lay a divine corpse that had fallen from beyond the heavens..."

"That divine corpse must contain extremely powerful energy, certainly enough to activate the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation!"

"Thus, the Sect Hierarch chose three hundred of us disciples to enter the Miracle Ridge in search of the Divine Bone!"

"This is the cause of everything!"

"However, later Lin Duo appeared, the Five Poison Sect nearly perished, and the hidden followers on the Miracle Ridge were still searching for the Divine Bone, so for over twenty years, the Five Poison Sect remained in hiding."

"Until a few months ago, when the Saintess Hua Yuxian sent a message back to the Sacred Religion, claiming she had found the Divine Bone!"

"After that, the Sect Hierarch ordered that the plan to resurrect the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor begin."

Zhao Longtu said indifferently.

By the time Zhao Longtu had explained this, Lin Bai understood everything.

Lin Bai said, "So then, the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect ordered Saint Miao Shang to destroy all the royal families within Lingdong to draw out the upper echelons from the Miracle Ridge, aiming to lure away a large number of experts from the Miracle Ridge to facilitate your actions and seize the Divine Bone?"

Zhao Longtu said, "Yes, the Saintess found that the Divine Bone was guarded by Dugu Yun, and as long as he was on the Miracle Ridge, we couldn’t possibly take the Divine Bone easily!"

"Even if Dugu Yun left, there are still many other experts on the Miracle Ridge, and it would be difficult for us to seize the Divine Bone!"

"Therefore, we devised the plan to destroy the Royal Family of Lingdong, because only by destroying the royal family could Lingdong be thrown into chaos."

"Without the Imperial Clan to suppress Lingdong, the princes and kings within the various dynasties would certainly rise up to fight for the throne."

"Lingdong in turmoil would definitely not be ignored by the Miracle Ridge!"

"And the greater the chaos in Lingdong, the more experts the Miracle Ridge would send out!"

"With the experts away from the Miracle Ridge, the Ridge would naturally become vulnerable!"

"That would make our operation to seize the Divine Bone much easier!"

Zhao Longtu stated calmly.
