Chapter 1224 - 1222: Splitting Sky Valley! A Fight to the Death!

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1222: Splitting Sky Valley! A Fight to the Death!

Zhao Longtu lay atop the Great Hall, his body streaming with fresh blood, on his last breath.

Clearly, Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan had struck harder, nearly killing Zhao Longtu outright!

Ye Wuhuan said, "The situation is now very clear. The Five Poisons Sect has caused such a commotion for the sole purpose of the Divine Bone, to use the energy within it to activate the Inverting Yin-Yang Great Formation and resurrect the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor!"

"If the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor is truly as terrifying as you say, Dugu Yun, once she is resurrected, both Lingdong and the Miracle Ridge could become complete ruins."

Dugu Yun stood up and said, "It’s not a possibility that they will become ruins, they definitely will. The warriors from that family, I understand them better than anyone!"

"Once the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor is resurrected, with her abilities, wiping out the Territory of All Nations would be a trivial matter."

Dugu Yun said.

Bai Xiaoxiao sat below, and upon hearing the words of Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan, her eyes sank into contemplation: If the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor could indeed easily destroy the Territory of All Nations, what would become of the Shenwu Kingdom?

With this thought, Bai Xiaoxiao looked towards Lin Bai!

Lin Bai locked eyes with Bai Xiaoxiao and immediately understood what was on her mind.

The Shenwu Kingdom was still too weak. Once the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor was resurrected, the Shenwu Kingdom would surely have no chance of survival.

"I understand."

Lin Bai nodded towards Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, knowing that Lin Bai understood her meaning.

The Five Poisons Holy Ancestor must not be resurrected!

Below, Ye Suxin’s eyes were filled with excitement: "The Ice Extinguishing Skill comes from the ’Five Saints Mocking the Heavens Scripture’, there must be a way within it to undo the Ice Extinguishing Skill..."

Ye Suxin’s gaze began to burn with eagerness.

Lin Bai opened his mouth and said, "Masters, given the severity of the situation, we should come to a decision sooner rather than later."

"Whether it’s the Divine Bone or the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor, we must stop them!"

"Not just for Lingdong, but also for the Miracle Ridge!"

Lin Bai said calmly.

Ye Wuhuan said, "The Saint is right. For the sake of both Lingdong and the Miracle Ridge, we must retrieve the Divine Bone, and the Five Poisons Holy Ancestor must not be resurrected!"

Dugu Yun said, "If that is the case, Ye Wuhuan, issue the order to the warriors of the Miracle Ridge within the Fengyun Dynasty. Have them swiftly head to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of the Fengyun Dynasty to surround the area and wait for our arrival to settle the score with the Five Poisons Sect."

"Understood."

Ye Wuhuan nodded and said.

Dugu Yun continued, "There are many warriors from the Lingdong Divine Ridge this time, and those currently in the Sect Leader’s Hall need not go. You all can stay and guard the Miracle Ridge."

"The Saint will accompany us."

Dugu Yun said.

Lin Bai nodded and said, "That’s acceptable."

At that moment, Ye Suxin stood up and said, "Father, I want to go."

Ye Wuhuan looked at Ye Suxin and said coldly, "Now is not the time for your antics. You are not going. Stay on the Miracle Ridge. If we lose the battle in Lingdong, you must immediately head to Lingnan, and then leave Lingnan for the East Continent!"

"Better to stay far away from the Territory of All Nations!"

Ye Wuhuan said with deep earnestness in his eyes.

Ye Suxin said with an extremely firm attitude, "Father, I must go!"

Ye Wuhuan glared at Ye Suxin and said, "I know what you want to do! But I won’t let you go."

"Someone, take Ye Suxin away. Without my order, she is not allowed to leave the Miracle Ridge!"

Ye Wuhuan said coldly.

Immediately, Ye Suxin was dragged out of the Sect Leader’s Hall by several maids.

On the side, Lin Bai silently watched the scene but did nothing to stop it, knowing that if Ye Suxin went to Lingdong, it would surely be dangerous. Staying on the Miracle Ridge could at least ensure some level of safety.

"In that case, let’s prepare."

"In half an hour, we’ll head to Lingdong."

"This time, we must settle things with the Five Poison Sect."

Ye Wuhuan said coldly.

Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan left one after another.

Meanwhile, Zhao Longtu was taken to the dungeon.

After a while, Lin Bai arrived at the dungeon and saw Zhao Longtu.

Zhao Longtu said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Bai let out a cold laugh, stepped slightly closer to Zhao Longtu, and said, "Your injuries are quite severe now, aren’t they? A great Warrior of the Flying Sky Realm is completely powerless before me, even though I’m merely at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm?"

Zhao Longtu sneered, "Did you come here today just to kick me while I’m down? Heh, your father was much more upright and honorable than you."

"Do you know where my father is?"

Lin Bai asked.

Zhao Longtu sneered, "Of course I know, he must have gone to Yama Hall! Everybody knows the way there, hahaha."

Zhao Longtu laughed wildly.

Lin Bai looked at Zhao Longtu, stepped closer, and chopped his hand down on top of Zhao Longtu’s head.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Longtu exclaimed in shock.

"Soul Searching!"

Lin Bai bellowed coldly.

Immediately, Zhao Longtu’s memories were rapidly rifled through by Lin Bai.

At that point, Zhao Longtu was severely injured by Dugu Yun and Ye Wuhuan, nearly killed, so Lin Bai saw nothing wrong with performing Soul Searching.

In his memories, Lin Bai saw Lin Duo, saw the Five Poisons Sect Leader, and saw many, many things...

Lin Bai came to conduct Soul Searching for two reasons: one was to search for any memories of Lin Duo, and the other was to make sure Zhao Longtu wasn’t lying about matters concerning the Five Poison Sect.

But Lin Bai found nothing.

Zhao Longtu truly did not know the whereabouts of Lin Duo.

Zhao Longtu had never left the Miracle Ridge in his life; he had no idea what had happened to Lin Duo in Lingnan.

The things Zhao Longtu had said about the Five Poison Sect were largely truth, however.

The headquarters of the Five Poison Sect were indeed located within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains of the Fengyun Dynasty.

But what Zhao Longtu did not mention was that the Sect Leader of the Five Poison Sect was actually the Emperor of the Fengyun Dynasty!

"So it turns out that the Emperor of the Fengyun Dynasty is the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect!"

"What a clever ruse, indeed. The greatest hide in plain sight, while the lesser hide in the wilds."

"All the Warriors from Lingdong and the Miracle Ridge have been searching for the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect, thinking he might be hiding somewhere desolate in Lingdong, but who would have thought that the Sect Hierarch of the Five Poison Sect is the Emperor of the Fengyun Dynasty!"

Lin Bai laughed coldly.

He left Zhao Longtu lying there and left the dungeon!

Half an hour later.

Lin Bai, along with Dugu Yun, Ye Wuhuan, and the others, left the Miracle Ridge and headed again towards the Fengyun Dynasty.

At that moment within the Fengyun Dynasty, the Warriors of the Miracle Ridge, the legions of the Holy Night Dynasty, and even the personal guard brought by Chu Jiangliu, were all heading towards the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Stretching over millions of miles, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains are vast.

Inside, the vegetation was so dense it blocked the sky, miasma swirled around, fierce beasts lurked, and mountain ranges towered, making it impossible to find even a single clear path.

Splitting Sky Valley, located at the northwestern edge of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, was by no means at the heart of it.

However, it was the most difficult place for anyone to discover.

Otherwise, when Lin Bai had come to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to search for the Temple, he should have found the location of Splitting Sky Valley back then.
