“Every word this young man has said is true!”
At the sound of this voice, the entire crowd shuddered, and their faces turned odd as they looked in the direction of the source of the sound.
Even Yang Zhen felt a strange sensation rising within him.
No one could have expected that the voice of a person, or perhaps a creature, could resonate with such an ancient aura, as if it came from an ancient era, giving a sense of timeless antiquity and vicissitudes.
Where Yang Zhen’s gaze fell, the members of the Sea Dragon Clan parted, revealing a wizened, hunchbacked elder leaning on a walking stick made from the unidentified leg bone of a beast.
Once this elder arrived in front of Yang Zhen, he placed a hand over his heart and gave Yang Zhen a strange Sea Dragon Clan salute. Only then did he address Elder Gu, “Human strong ones, my clan has no intention of being enemies with your kind. Whether thousands of years ago or now, it’s always been the humans who have been the greedy ones, lusting after our treasure and slaughtering our people. If it weren’t for this young friend here, none of today’s intruders would be allowed to leave this place alive!”
Upon hearing this, everyone froze, staring blankly at the Sea Dragon Clan’s diminutive, hunchbacked elder.
Elder Gu knitted his brows, appearing somewhat skeptical. The Sea Dragon Clan elder snorted disdainfully, thumped his walking stick, and a terrible force pulsed towards the human crowd. There was a sudden blast, and a miserable scream rang out from Wan Tianchen as multiple wounds burst open on his body, blood gushing out. A glowing, spoon-shaped object flew out from his embrace and landed in the hands of the Sea Dragon Clan elder.
What?
All eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as they stared at Wan Tianchen, who was now kneeling on the ground, their gazes becoming complicated.
It was evident that the object retrieved from Wan Tianchen was not his property, but the sacred treasure of the Sea Dragon Clan.
Suddenly, someone cried out in shock, “I remember now, Wan Tianchen was the first to ascend Emperor Island of Mountain Hua’s fateful land, killing many of Dajiang Country’s Beast Control Sect members in mid-air. He stole a Heavenly Dragon Beast and was the first one to dash onto Emperor Island.”
At these words, the crowd’s gaze towards Mountain Hua’s fateful land became somewhat hostile.
So the Sea Dragon Clan’s hostility towards the humans was merely a search for their own lost treasure, and the mastermind behind the conflict was none other than Wan Tianchen of Mountain Hua’s fateful land?
Everyone had an uneasy expression as they looked at the group from Mountain Hua’s fateful land. Normally, these people seemed high and mighty but were now in a sorry state. Even faced with the main instigator Wan Tianchen, the Sea Dragon elder did nothing more than reclaim his own property, showing no sign of wanting to deal a deadly blow.
This comparison between the Sea Dragon Clan and Mountain Hua’s fateful land was undeniably striking.
At this point, people couldn’t help but believe Yang Zhen’s words a bit more.
The roguish cat walked up to the Sea Dragon Clan elder, its face filled with confusion as it curiously asked, “Didn’t the Eastern Desolation Emperor seal your clan back in the day?”
Upon seeing the roguish cat, the Sea Dragon Clan elder paused, then deeply gazed at it before bursting into hearty laughter, the sound as robust and weather-beaten as an ancient bell toll.
“Sealed? Without the Emperor, our clan would have likely been annihilated
back then!”
“What?” The roguish cat’s face was awash with shock as it asked the elder incredulously, “What exactly happened back then? Where did all the saints and emperors go? What did this world go through?”
Everyone looked at the roguish cat and the Sea Dragon Clan elder with faces full of confusion. Staring at each other, their expressions became increasingly alarmed.
Yang Zhen was also taken aback, his eyes locked intently on the Sea Dragon
Clan elder.
All along, he had thought that the roguish cat was just pretending and actually knew what had happened back then. But now it seemed that it genuinely was clueless.
Under the scrutinizing gazes of everyone, the Sea Dragon Clan elder sighed deeply and said, “I don’t know!”
Everyone looked disappointed at his response.
However, Yang Zhen felt even more astonished. Even though the world had undergone tremendous changes and continents might have even broken apart, these people had no knowledge of it?
Could it be that what happened in the ancient era wasn’t passed down at all?
Where had all the saints gone, and where had the emperors fled to? What exactly happened to this world? All of these… were a mystery to everyone?
How could that be possible?
Yang Zhen’s gaze was restless on the elder. He had a strong feeling that the elder did know something.
As expected, the elder deeply gazed at Yang Zhen again and said, “Although I don’t know what happened back then, the Emperor did tell us that a great catastrophe was impending and he wished to temporarily refine a realm for us to escape the calamity.”
At this, the elder’s eyes showed a longing expression as he murmured, “The Emperor was responsible for enlightening our clan. How could he seal us?” Everyone was in shock, stunned by the catastrophe mentioned by the elder. What exactly was this disaster that even Saints and Emperors felt unable to escape from?
Just as Yang Zhen was about to ask, the Lowly Cat blocked him with an eerie laugh, saying, “Don’t ask too much, kid. It won’t do any good. I’ve told you before, even those who know a little about this, won’t share any information about it, and can’t even leave any relevant indications. This matter may relate to… the divine law!”
The moment the phrase “divine law” was spoken, everyone present changed color.”
The divine law was the supreme power in the universe!
All beings, including every element on earth, thrived under the power of divine law. No one could escape it!
And any creature between the heavens and the earth, whether it was the legendary Dragon, Phoenix, or the Kylin, and those Saints and Emperors, paled in comparison to the divine law, like a tiny ant.
It’s a known fact that the power of divine law was insurmountable.
Boom!
Dense clouds formed in the half-sky without anyone noticing, and the thunder was loud. Everyone looked up in horror, their faces full of uncertainty.
Clearly, the topic of their discussion had touched on the edge of the divine catastrophe.
No creature that had not evolved to the Tribulation Crossing Stage could survive the divine catastrophe. There were no exceptions.
The Lowly Cat’s face altered, and he quickly covered his mouth and winked at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was horrified, looking up at the rolling clouds, filled with raging thunderbolts, and the terrifying majestic presence caused his hair to stand on end.
For some reason, at this moment, he very much felt like poking a hole in this oppressive cloud layer looming over his head with his middle finger.
The eerie feeling of having something pressing over his head was beginning to upset him.
At this point, the Lowly Cat tugged at Yang Zhen’s sleeve, saying, “Kid, didn’t you promise something to the Sea Dragon Clan? Now that the conflict is over, you should just finish what you promised. Oh yes, did the Eastern Desolation Emperor really tell you about these things?”
Yang Zhen gave the Lowly Cat a disdainful look, replying: “If His Majesty showed up in front of this Sao Saint, he’d scare the Sao Saint to death.”
“Then how did you know?”
“Do you know about Dragon Stealing Platform?
“What?”
“Nothing, just stuff left by the Emperor… he told me about…”
“Kid, do you have anything else you haven’t revealed yet? Tell me quietly, I am usually good at keeping secrets.”
“Get out!”
“Damn, aren’t we good buddies?”
Wang Meiling looked at Yang Zhen with a complex expression. The uncertainty never left her face. All the events seemed to surpass her comprehension.
Lead by the Sea Dragon Clan, they arrived in front of an enormous crystal cave and were all taken aback.
The beautiful crystal exuded an elusive charm. The passage was filled with both familiar and unfamiliar treasures. Many precious items that were unaffordable and priceless outside were just casually thrown around inside. “Damn, what a luxurious place!” The Lowly Cat’s eyes lit up, oblivious to what he was thinking.
What amazed everyone even more was that the edge of the crystal cave had a special prohibition that was powerful and eerie. It was clear that not just anyone could come and go as they pleased in this place.
Aligning his hand to his heart, the elderly man from the Sea Dragon Clan deeply bowed to Yang Zhen, stating, “Young friend Yang, we entrust all to you now!”
