The Great Wild God - Chapter 467
Chapter 467 Conspiracy
Large amounts of volcanic ash floated above the Qingwu Ridge, like a black curtain of sky that enveloped the entire world in darkness. No one was able to see far, and their divine sense could not penetrate the barrier of the volcanic ash.
Jiang Bin stationed his troops on a gentle slope outside the southern canyon of Qingwu Ridge. He was surrounded by more than a hundred black-armored guards and stood on a stone cliff that was a thousand feet tall. He could feel waves of intense turbulent elemental energy surging out of the canyon behind the stone ridge.
Above the canyon more than two hundred miles away, a faint radiance chopped through the air. The black cloud of lead that covered the sky with volcanic ash was also torn into pieces, as if it had been sucked into an endless turbulent current.
Only Celestial Realm experts could make such a big commotion. However, Jiang Bin was unable to see the exact situation inside through the stone ridges. He could only vaguely see that the cliff mountains were being destroyed.
What exactly happened in the depths of the Qingwu Ridge?
A demonic beast as strong as the Celestial Realm broke into the Qingwu Ridge?
But looking at the formation of the four sects’ disciples stationed at the entrance of Qingwu Ridge’s southern foot gorge, and the fact that there were four sects’ disciples guarding many ridges, it seemed that they were not affected at all by the intense battle on the other side of the stone ridge?
Could it be that the four sects were already able to easily deal with the surprise attacks of Celestial Realm experts by mobilizing the battle power of the Qingwu Ridge?
Jiang Bin’s heart was in turmoil, and he could not guess or see through it.
The reason why Chun Lingjun ordered him to lead his troops towards Qingwu Ridge was so that he could fight Chen Xun head-on at the southern foot of Qingwu Ridge. He did not explicitly say that he would forcefully occupy Qingwu Ridge.
Chen Xun and several of his attendants stayed in the Qingwu Ridge. It was even harder to guess how many Cyan Flame Lotus Flames Chen Xun had accumulated in the Qingwu Ridge. If he really wanted to take over the Qingwu Ridge, Jiang Bin had no choice but to consider how heavy a price he would have to pay for it.
With lightning speed, Chun Lingjun directly deceived King of Qing, Su Junchen, and led the Spirit Heaven Army into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm, mainly because of the fact that the Spirit Heaven Army and the Divine Guards were fighting each other in the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range.
The Heavenly Volcano erupted. The Heavenly Furnace Secret Land had undergone such great changes. Many people had predicted that after thousands of years, the Heavenly Furnace would very likely become a Middle Thousand Worlds suitable for humans to inhabit and reproduce. However, no one had expected that the Heavenly Furnace would evolve to give birth to Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos.
Before this, Jiang Bin had never heard of the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos.
None of the Celestial Realm experts in Cloud Continent had thought of going up there.
There were naturally experts in the Upper Realm who understood the Primordial Chaos Dao, but these experts cultivated in seclusion for tens or even hundreds of years. Normally, no one dared to disturb them.
Even God-controller Mansion’s many adjustments and deployment in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm, and the title of Jiang Nanke as the Marquis of the Heavenly Furnace Prefecture did not alert Emperor Xi Wu, who was currently cultivating in seclusion in the Upper Realm.
In the end, it was only when Patriarch Tian came out of seclusion in the Upper Realm a month ago and learned of the drastic changes that had occurred in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm that he pointed out that it was highly possible for the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to give birth to a small amount of Primordial
At this time, everyone suddenly realized what King of Qing’s faction was trying to do by transferring a large number of disciples and resources into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm without thinking of the rest of the years!
Of course, each clan could report to Emperor Xi and ask Emperor Xi to uphold justice and divide this piece of cake in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm. However, if they did so, how could they compete with King of Qing for the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range?
At this time, everyone understood.
If the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm had a Primordial Breath, the Ancestral Meridian Heavenly Volcano would be the most dense and concentrated.
The King of Qing faction had transferred a large amount of resources and disciples into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm over the past few years, and they were all concentrated within the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range.
To put it bluntly, the King of Qing faction knew very well that it was impossible for them to seal the opening and prevent other disciples from entering the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to cultivate. However, their goal was very clear, and that was to monopolize the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range.
If Martial Emperor Xi was invited to mediate and uphold justice, why would Martial Emperor Xi force the King of Qing faction to give up the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range that they had operated for several years?
God-controller Mansion had already sealed off the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range to Jiang Nanke and the others. Without a suitable reason, why would they forcefully seize someone else’s fief?
Didn’t the secret arrangements of the King of Qing faction over the years mean that they were trying to seize the commanding heights of the patriarchal clan and the fait accompli?
If they reported to Martial Emperor Xi and asked him to come out to mediate, they would only be subject to the King of Qing faction everywhere. At that time, the greatest possibility would be that each clan would have a region outside the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range and move into their disciples to cultivate. How could this make them willing?
Fortunately, apart from them, the other clans such as the Tian clan and the Yu clan were unwilling to accept it.
Since the King of Qing faction wanted to suppress them with a fait accompli, they could only split the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range with the King of Qing faction if they directly sent troops into the Heavenly Volcano to form a fait accompli.
********************
At this time, a dozen figures flew over from the south, flying like ghosts to the stone cliff thousands of feet behind Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin was suddenly shocked.
Jiang Bin was shocked.
Although he was attracted by the huge commotion in the canyon entrance, it was only within a radius of 1000 feet that he was shocked. This meant that the cultivations of these dozen people were not much inferior to his.
“Brother Jiang, long time no see.”
Before Jiang Bin could give a warning, a black-clothed man shouted via voice transmission.
Hearing Tian Heng’s voice, Jiang Bin signaled for the guards on both sides to step down and salute, “It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. Why did Brother Tian rush over here?”
Seeing that other than Tian Heng, the faces of the others were all hidden in black robes and caps, Jiang Bin thought to himself that they should be experts sent by the Tian clan. The two strongest people actually couldn’t even see through him, so they should have peak cultivation at the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Apart from the Old Ancestor advancing to Nirvana, there were three Celestial Realm experts in the Tian Clan who managed the Kunzhou Region alone. Adding on the strength of other vassal clans, sects, and the Tian Clan, they were far more powerful than the other 36 God Generals.
The Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm’s Heaven and Earth Transformations wouldn’t cause too much Primordial Breath. Perhaps it wouldn’t be particularly beneficial to experts with cultivation above the Origin Core Realm. The King of Qing faction had also mobilized a large number of low-level disciples to enter the Heavenly Furnace to cultivate, but this was the foundation cultivation that the clans and sects attached great importance to.
No matter how powerful Xuan Xiu was, it was possible for it to fall. Only when experts kept appearing in the clan would it be possible to lay the foundation for all generations.
This was also the fundamental reason why everyone wanted to interfere in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.
The secret of Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos was broken by Patriarch Tian’s fingers. Naturally, it was impossible for the Tian Clan not to send experts to the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to share a piece of the spoils.
Before Tian Heng could say what his purpose was, he was shocked by the earth-shattering commotion at Shi Ling. He turned to look at the two sect elders in the clan and saw that they were also staring at the Chaos Slash Light in the distance with furrowed eyebrows.
Tian Heng looked at Jiang Bin and asked,
“What exactly happened to Qingwu Ridge? Why is there such a big commotion?”
Jiang Bin spread out his hands, thinking that if he knew the details, he wouldn’t be standing here.
“Could it be that some tyrannical monster from the Heavenly Volcano broke into the Qingwu Ridge?” Tian Heng couldn’t help but ask excitedly.
Jiang Bin saw the excitement on Tian Heng’s face and his heart skipped a beat. He said tentatively, “Perhaps this is possible.”
Tian Heng was not stupid. He could tell that Jiang Bin was trying to probe. He said, “Cloud Continent knows less about the Primordial Chaos Dao than the Hairy Phoenix Horn. Even in the Heaven Mending Pavilion’s collection, there is no record of Primordial Chaos breath. Yet, the King of Qing faction was able to make such a decisive arrangement several years ago. Brother Jiang, don’t you think there are many oddities behind this matter?”
“Brother Tian, is it possible that Chen Xun reminded King of Qing?” Jiang Bin asked.
“Brother Jiang, your Mansion of Marquis Martial has been fighting with the four sects of Mountain Parasol for decades. Brother Jiang, what do you think?” Tian Heng asked.
Jiang Bin sighed in his heart. He knew that Tian Heng had come to Qingwu Ridge. He thought that the fact that the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm was able to give birth to Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos was all caused by Patriarch Tian. Most of the things they could think of could be inferred by Patriarch Tian. There was no need to conceal them at this time.
“Although Chen Xun is Divine Night Sect’s direct disciple, but its rise in the Northwest Domain, it is due to his Mountain Parasol obtained the ancient dao lineage. Jiang Bin said, “In the past few years, there have been many secret arts and divine abilities from the four sects of Mountain Parasol, including Chen Xun’s ability to refine artifacts and formations. They should all be passed down to that ancient Dao lineage. It’s not surprising that Chen Xun might know something about the Grand Dao of Primordial Chaos.”
“King of Qing is very good at bribing people. If the matter of Primordial Chaos Yuan Qi was indeed Chen Xun’s reminder, then when King of Qing and True Monarch Pinecrane divided the Heavenly Volcano, they would definitely not treat Mountain Parasol unfairly. “I still remember True Monarch Crimson Brow saying that the refining methods of the seven or eight Eight Desolate Profound Tower Arrays that Jiang Nanke has presided over in the past three years were also passed down from Mountain Parasol,” Tian Heng said. “If it weren’t for that, Brother Jiang wouldn’t have personally led his troops to Qingwu Ridge …”
Jiang Bin sighed in his heart. He didn’t expect Mrs. Tian to be the one who ate meat and didn’t spit out bones.
King of Qing and True Monarch Pinecrane circled sixteen spiritual lands within the Skyfire Mountain Range. If they wanted to enter the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm and obtain a piece of the pie, not only would they need to establish themselves within the Skyfire Mountain Range, they would also need to directly take a big bite out of these sixteen spiritual lands.
The direct descendants of the Qing Palace, the Su Clan of Yuzhou, and the Tianshui Wei Clan from True Monarch Pinecrane had extremely deep foundations. They were also very fortunate to have received the favor of the Xi Martial Emperor. Even if the three clans seized the spiritual land, they would most likely spit it out and return it to the three clans when the Xi Martial Emperor stepped forward to mediate.
Apart from the direct descendants of the Qing Palace, the Su Clan of Yuzhou, and the Wei Clan of Tianshui, among the other thirteen spiritual lands, the Qingwu Ridge in front of them was very quickly the best.
Chen Xun had never been a master who would suffer a loss.
However, Chen Xun and the four sects of Mountain Parasol weren’t easy to chew on.
Chun Lingjun and Lord Crimson Brow also wanted him to lead his troops to attack Qingwu Ridge, first creating the fact that they were fighting each other in Qingwu Ridge, and finally striving to split Qingwu Ridge. However, looking at Tian Heng’s intentions, it did not seem like he wanted to split Mountain Parasol from the four sects of Qingwu Ridge.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bin couldn’t help but suppress his voice and said, “A few years ago, Chen Xun led the disciples of the Su Residual Clan to compete with Princess Yanling and Adept Wu Yi when they entered the Heavenly Volcano. At this moment, Chen Xun had transferred Su Shousi, Zong Ya, and the four thousand disciples of the Mountain Parasol Sect from the Azure Water Sect. They were afraid that the monster that had barged into Qingwu Ridge at this time would not be able to obtain a good deal from Chen Xun even if it had the combat power of the Celestial Realm.
“I believe Brother Jiang won’t really be afraid of the four sects of Mountain Parasol,” Tian Heng smiled sinisterly. “What exactly is Brother Jiang worried about?”
“Chen Xun was originally a rebellious disciple of the Divine Night Sect. He bullied his master and betrayed his ancestors. Lord Crimson Brow was helpless against him. Even if I was afraid of the four sects of Mountain Parasol, I wouldn’t be afraid of being laughed at by others.” Jiang Bin smiled.
Tian Heng secretly felt that Jiang Bin was really cunning. This meant that he had to drag Lord Crimson Brow into the water.
Jiang Bin saw a cold light flash through Tian Heng’s pupils and knew that his killing intent was very heavy. He asked, “If the Qingwu Ridge’s blood flowed like a pestle, how would we deal with it afterwards?”
“In order to compete for resources, the Zhu Clan has been fighting in private for many years. Has there been a small number of deaths?” Tian Heng smiled coldly and said, “As long as the direct descendants of the Jiang Imperial Clan are not involved, the Tian Clan can still bear the loss of three to five thousand people here, but we need half of the Qingwu Ridge.”
“Alright!”
Tian Hengtong stared at Jiang Bin’s face and waited for his reply, but he didn’t want a sinister voice to sound against his back. He turned around and saw Lord Crimson Brow standing three feet behind him. Looking at the surprised expressions of the two sect elders, he presumably didn’t notice Lord Crimson Brow’s arrival in advance.
No wonder he was a True Monarch of the Celestial Realm.
More than a hundred feet away, Gu Yangzi and Cang Yazi stood side by side, their bodies filled with boundless killing intent.
Only then did Tian Heng know that Lord Crimson Brow, Jiang Bin, and the others had long since intended to attack Qingwu Ridge, but he had actually knocked on the door himself.
Lord Crimson Brow’s tall body was wrapped in a black robe. “The demonic aura on the other side of Stone Ridge is pervasive, and this demonic aura is very familiar. It’s the Fire Winged Demonic Ape.” Xiu Shou stood on the cliff, his expression extremely cold. “Whether the four sects of Mountain Parasol have the strength to kill this Fire Winged Monster Ape or not, there will definitely be heavy casualties afterwards. We just need to wait for a while. When the four sects’ disciples fight with the Fire Winged Monster Ape to stop, their guard will definitely be at its weakest …”
