Chapter 1374: Decision
Elder Qiu was a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure after all and had lived for more than 10,000 years. Now that he had calmed down, he gradually snapped out of his stupor as well.
Elder Jing Yue said, “I’m guessing that Desolate Martial’s Essence Spirit might be injured and he’s unable to connect to Heaven and Earth. He might not even be able to release the most basic Dharmic arts!”
“Is it that serious?”
“Could Desolate Martial be hiding his skills?”
The other Conjoint Body Mighty Figures discussed as well.
Elder Qiu remained silent with a terrible expression.
Actually, he knew that Elder Jing Yue’s guess was extremely likely to be true as well.
This meant that he was merely scared off by Desolate Martial!
At the thought of that, he was naturally displeased and had a hateful expression.
The Ximen family master did not say anything the entire time. Only now did he put down the teacup in his hands and said indifferently, “There shouldn’t be any problem with Elder Jing Yue’s speculation.”
“In the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley, a Mighty Figure of the Witch race once self-destructed his Essence Spirit and released a Life Severing Curse to curse Su Zimo.”
“Although he did not succeed, I’m sure that given Su Zimo’s cultivation, there’s no way he could have survived against the power of the Life Severing Curse unscathed.”
At that point, everyone present no longer had any doubts.
Combining the information and many signs, it was almost certain that Desolate Martial’s Essence Spirit was injured.
Furthermore, the injuries were not light!
“Brother Ximen, you’re wise!”
Right then, a chuckle came from outside.
A cultivator with fluttering robes walked in—nobody present had noticed his existence previously!
“Greetings, Dongfang family master,”
The Conjoint Body Mighty Figures in the hall stood up one after another and bowed to the intruder.
That cultivator was the master of the Dongfang aristocratic family!
“You’re here too, Brother Dongfang.”
The Ximen family master stood up and nodded with a smile, inviting, “Please take your seat.”
The Dongfang family master sat down beside the Ximen family master and went straight to the point. “I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here because of Desolate Martial.”
“What do you think, Brother Dongfang?”
The Ximen family master asked.
The Dongfang family master smirked coldly and merely said a single word, “Kill!”
The moment that word was said, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop significantly as a murderous aura spread with a chilling intent!
The Ximen family master smiled. “Desolate Martial has been famous for a long time and is troublesome to deal with. This matter should be…”
“Brother Ximen,”
The Dongfang family master interrupted, “You’ve also deduced that Desolate Martial’s combat strength is greatly reduced with his Essence Spirit injured. This is a rare opportunity! Any Conjoint Body Mighty Figure can suppress him!”
“If you’re worried about accidents, we’ll have all the experts in this hall head over together. Our Dongfang family also has more than ten Conjoint Body Mighty Figures waiting outside right now to act at any moment!”
The Ximen family master smacked his lips. “This Dao Lord Desolate Martial is easy to deal with with his Essence Spirit injured. I’m worried about the other Desolate Martial.”
“The other one?”
The Dongfang family master frowned slightly.
The Ximen family master said in a deep voice, “The battle at Heaven and Earth Valley shocked Tianhuang Mainland. Desolate Martial has two true bodies. The one in the South Region currently is one of them, but don’t forget, he has another Dragon True Body!”
At the mention of the Dragon True Body, there was a hint of fear in the eyes of many Conjoint Body experts in the hall.
Although cultivators of the three aristocratic families did not head to Heaven and Earth Valley, everyone was still extremely shocked when they heard the details of that battle!
Legend has it that Desolate Martial’s dragon clone was even more terrifying.
Even among the primordial races, many Conjoint Body experts were killed by the Dragon True Body!
The Dongfang family master frowned. “That Dragon True Body has already been exiled to the void. How can he still be alive?”
“That’s hard to say,”
The Ximen family master said, “Since this true body of Desolate Martial survived, there’s no guarantee that his Dragon True Body can’t survive as well! If we fail to kill both true bodies of Desolate Martial, it’ll cause huge trouble for our family clans.”
If it was only the Green Lotus True Body, the Ximen family master would naturally not fear it. If he had to kill, so be it.
However, what he was concerned about was Desolate Martial’s Dragon True Body!
“Does that mean that you’re not intending to attack, Brother Ximen?”
The Dongfang family master asked.
The Ximen family master shook his head. “We have to think about this matter at length and wait and see first.”
Actually, the Ximen family master had other plans.
In his opinion, Desolate Martial had offended too many sects and factions. As long as news of Desolate Martial’s location was spread, experts of the super sects would naturally hunt him down without them even making a move!
In fact, it might even alarm the primordial races!
They could kill him with the hands of others!
The Ximen family was not willing to provoke a huge trouble like Desolate Martial.
Right then, a commotion came from outside.
Some cultivators were speeding over with their clothes fluttering, looking extremely hurried.
“Reporti—”
The cultivator shouted from afar before he even arrived.
Before long, the cultivator arrived in the hall with an excited expression and shouted, “Family master, there’s news from Beiming Town!”
“An ancient seal hidden in Beiming Town was activated by Beiming Xue. Now, a passage leading underground has appeared in Beiming Town. There’s a high chance that within it, there’s a…”
At that point, the cultivator suddenly paused as though he could not believe it.
“A what?!”
The two masters of the Ximen and Dongfang families asked at the same time.
Both of them had already thought of a possibility—the secret guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family had appeared!
“It might be a primordial divine spring!”
The cultivator said.
Psst!
Gasps could be heard from the hall.
The masters of the Ximen and Dongfang families stood up with shocked expressions.
The Ximen family master asked hurriedly, “Is this true?”
The cultivator replied, “Some Beiming clansmen went down bravely to take a look and said that there was a golden pool.”
“Indeed!”
The two family masters exchanged glances—both could tell of the excitement and greed in their eyes.
“What a surprise!”
The Ximen family master sighed. “Legend has it that the Beiming aristocratic family has always been guarding a huge secret from the ancient era. To think that it would be a primordial divine spring!”
“The divine spring appeared in this generation. Unfortunately, the Beiming clan has already declined.”
The Dongfang family master sneered with a cold expression.
The Ximen family master took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Everyone in the hall, follow me to Beiming Town to retrieve the divine spring. Anyone who stands in our way will be killed without mercy!”
Initially, he was wary of Desolate Martial’s Dragon True Body.
But now that he heard the news of the primordial divine spring, even if he knew that his Dragon True Body was still alive, he had to snatch the divine spring!
The primordial divine spring was worth the risk for the Ximen aristocratic family!
Furthermore, there was a high chance that Desolate Martial’s Dragon True Body was already dead.
At the same time, the Ximen family master sent a voice transmission to a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure with his spirit consciousness and instructed.
The Conjoint Body Mighty Figure retreated secretly.
“Brother Ximen, I’m afraid your Ximen family won’t be able to occupy the divine spring alone,”
The Dongfang family master smiled gently.
“Of course. At that time, our two aristocratic families can discuss how to divide it evenly. As for the Nangong family…” The Ximen family’s master paused for a moment.
“That will depend on the Nangong family’s decision. If he’s on our side, he might still have a share in the divine spring. If not…”
Although the Dongfang family master did not continue, his meaning was clear.
