Chapter 1223: Chapter 1221: The Shocking Plot of the Five Poison Sect! (Part 3)

Ye Wuhuan, Dugu Yun, and Lin Bai, upon hearing Zhao Longtu’s words, had a moment of clarity in their hearts.

If the Five Poison Sect were to slaughter the cities in Lingdong, at most the dynasty would intervene and strike against the Five Poison Sect; the experts of the Miracle Ridge were unlikely to venture to Lingdong.

But to destroy the Imperial Clan of the dynasty was a different matter altogether.

As Zhao Longtu said,

once the Imperial Clan of Lingdong’s dynasty was suddenly annihilated,

the Military Kings, Military Marquises, princes, and kings within the dynasties, wielding great power and commanding armies, would inevitably harbor ambitions.

Then, the princes would dispute, and splinter the land to declare themselves emperors.

Lingdong would be a land drenched in blood, and the Miracle Ridge would definitely dispatch a large number of experts to forcefully suppress it!

At that time, the experts of the Miracle Ridge would be gone!

Without experts on the Miracle Ridge, obtaining the Divine Bone would at least be much easier! Besides, at that time, all the attention of the Miracle Ridge Warriors would be on Lingdong, and they would not notice the events occurring on the Miracle Ridge.

Take the Shenwu Kingdom for example, if it weren’t for Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao returning to the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom earlier, and later, when the Military Marquises in the kingdom discovered that the Imperial Clan had perished and were leaderless, they would have certainly splintered the land to declare themselves emperors.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaoxiao returned in time and promptly declared herself emperor, preventing the ambitions of other Military Marquises in the Shenwu Kingdom.

After listening to Zhao Longtu’s words, Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan both fell into silence.

At this time, Lin Bai asked, "The Five Poisons Holy Ancestor, what is her origin? By resurrecting her, could the Five Poison Sect really possess the power to influence the forces under Heaven?"

Ye Wuhuan said, "Regarding the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor, I have only read about it in the archives!"

"The Five Poisons Holy Ancestor is a figure from ten thousand years ago, the era is too far back, and much has been forgotten."

"However, I believe Dugu Yun knows much more about the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor than we do."

Ye Wuhuan looked at Dugu Yun.

Lin Bai, hearing Ye Wuhuan’s words, showed a curious expression on his face.

Why did Dugu Yun know so much about the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor?

Dugu Yun took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, I do have some understanding of the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor."

"This person originated from an extremely ancient family in the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"At the time of her birth, it caused a great upheaval across the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

"She was a supreme genius!"

"Not to mention anything else, merely at the time when her Martial Soul awakened, it was a Five-life Martial Soul, which was enough to shock Under Heaven."

Dugu Yun said lightly.

"What! A Five-life Martial Soul?"

Lin Bai and Ye Wuhuan both exclaimed with widened eyes.

At the time of awakening a Martial Soul, having two Martial Souls is termed as Twin Martial Spirits!

And Lin Bai currently possesses two Martial Souls, which can also be termed as Twin Martial Spirits!

Three Martial Souls is termed as Three-life Martial Soul!

Four Martial Souls is Four-life Martial Soul!

Five Martial Souls is Five-life Martial Soul!

This Holy Ancestor from the Five Poison Sect actually was a super-genius with a Five-life Martial Soul!

Five Martial Souls, what kind of potential could this person reach?

Dugu Yun said, "This person had an extraordinary talent. A Five-life Martial Soul, unprecedented in the history of the Barbaric Ancient Continent! But unfortunately, just three years after her Martial Soul awakened, she was disowned by this ancient family and even had a death warrant issued against her!"

"Afterwards, she disappeared from the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

"Few people know her whereabouts!"

"Of course, neither does anyone know what these five Martial Souls are, what abilities they possess, or what their grade is!"

Dugu Yun took a deep breath and said.

Lin Bai looked at Dugu Yun curiously, amazed that Dugu Yun knew such secret matters.

Lin Bai laughed and said, "I guess this ancient family knows her whereabouts, but they dare not speak of it."

Dugu Yun laughed, "Saint, you needn’t look at me like that, I also saw this matter in the annals. As for the whereabouts of this person, whether this ancient family is unwilling or afraid to tell, I do not know."

"But what I can tell everyone is..."

"If the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor is indeed the one who possessed the Five-life Martial Soul from back then, once she is resurrected... not only Lingdong and Miracle Ridge, but the entire Barbaric Ancient Continent will be engulfed in a storm of blood and carnage!"

"Without exaggeration, with a single thought, she can annihilate the Territory of all nations!"

Dugu Yun said with deep apprehension.

"Because she is a Poison Master, the poisons she cultivates can exterminate all life Under Heaven!"

Dugu Yun said coldly.

Lin Bai and Ye Wuhuan, upon hearing this, both showed a hint of trepidation on their faces.

Ye Wuhuan said, "Regardless of whether this person can be resurrected, Divine Bone is one of the most important resources on the Miracle Ridge and must not fall into the hands of the Five Poison Sect!"

Dugu Yun said, "Exactly, the Divine Bone must indeed be retrieved!"

"But we must also prevent the real resurrection of the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor."

Dugu Yun said.

Ye Wuhuan said, "Zhao Longtu, since Lin Duo destroyed the Five Poisons Sect Headquarters twenty years ago, we have searched all over Lingdong and have not found any trace of the Five Poison Sect!"

"Where has the Five Poison Sect hidden itself?"

"Where is the current headquarters of the Five Poison Sect now?"

Ye Wuhuan asked.

Zhao Longtu said, "After Lin Duo destroyed the Five Poisons Sect Headquarters, the Sect Hierarch took the followers to the tomb of the Holy Ancestor!"

Lin Bai asked, "Where is the tomb of the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor?"

"In... In..." Zhao Longtu was reluctant to speak; he knew that once he revealed this place, his life would truly be over unless Miracle Ridge showed him extraordinary mercy!

Zhao Longtu said, "I can tell you where it is, but first, you need to release these chains from me!"

"After I speak, I want to leave Miracle Ridge!"

Zhao Longtu looked up at Ye Wuhuan, Dugu Yun, and Lin Bai as he spoke.

Lin Bai was considering using Soul Searching to check Zhao Longtu’s memories directly.

However, although the Soul Searching magic spell could access memories, it could only be used if the other party was critically injured or dying, or if their cultivation state was lower than one’s own, otherwise, forcibly accessing Zhao Longtu’s memory could cause backlash by the magic spell!

Dugu Yun said, "On what basis should we believe you? How can we be sure that what you say is true?"

Zhao Longtu said, "Look at my current situation, I have told you so much already, would I still lie?"

Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan exchanged looks and nodded slightly.

Immediately, Ye Wuhuan raised his hand and shook it, releasing the chains bound to Zhao Longtu.

Zhao Longtu, regaining his freedom, was overjoyed, stood up from the ground, and the power of the Flying Sky Realm returned to him!

"Alright, tell us where the Five Poisons Sect Headquarters is located?"

Ye Wuhuan asked.

Zhao Longtu looked at Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan and said coldly, "Fengyun Dynasty, Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, Splitting Sky Valley!"

"Ye Wuhuan, Dugu Yun, we shall meet again!"

Having said this, Zhao Longtu blurred into motion and raced out of the hall!

"Splitting Sky Valley!"

"Fengyun Dynasty’s Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!"

Lin Bai exclaimed.

Just then, at the moment Zhao Longtu left the Sect Leader’s Hall, Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan swiftly took to the skies.

Half an hour later, carrying the almost dead Zhao Longtu, they returned to the Sect Leader’s Hall!

"Cough cough—" Zhao Longtu lay on the ground, barely clinging to life, and with a dispersed gaze, he yelled at Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun, "Ye Wuhuan, Dugu Yun, you two old men, you are untrustworthy!"

Ye Wuhuan sneered, "How am I untrustworthy? We had already let you go, but you failed to escape; we have simply captured you again."

"You!" Zhao Longtu yelled in frustration at Ye Wuhuan.
