Chapter 235: White Bone Great Sage!
“Hmph, Empress Mystic Ice is too arrogant. She actually destroyed my disciple’s Liangshan Stronghold just like that!”
Yin Zhixiong was silent for a long time. His originally aloof expression became incomparably ferocious and cruel.
“My disciple has been down the mountain for more than thirty years and has never forgotten to be filial to me!”
“Even after his Liangshan Stronghold grew stronger, he has never been disrespectful to me. He was even more respectful to me than before!”
“Now that he’s dead, how can I not take revenge?!”
A terrifying pressure reverberated in the hall, causing the eight elders present to tremble.
First Elder Zhong Yuanqi went forward and said,
“Holy Lord, Empress Mystic Ice sent someone to Dongyuan Heaven to kill people. This is openly challenging the Great Emperor’s authority.”
“I think we should quickly report this news to the Emperor and ask him to take action!”
The other seven elders nodded silently.
Emperor Kong Qingcang was a famous powerhouse in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
And a month ago, the rumors spread even more in the upper level of the martial arts world in Dongyuan Heaven.
Kong Qingcang was about to break through to the Great Saint Realm.
Furthermore, the heaven-defying forbidden cultivation technique passed down in the Kong royal family was about to be cultivated to the Perfection Stage by him.
It was said that once this forbidden cultivation technique reached the Perfection Stage, Kong Qingcang would be completely invincible among those in the same realm.
In other words, if Kong Qingcang stepped into the Great Saint Realm, then with this cultivation technique, he could defeat all Great Saint opponents!
Zhong Yuanqi and the other eight elders felt that no matter how powerful Donghuang Ziyou was, she was no match for Kong Qingcang.
Not to mention, North Mystic Heaven’s strength was far inferior to Dongyuan Heaven’s.
If Emperor Dongyuan took action, he would definitely be able to take revenge for Soaring Wind’s Holy Lord and vent the hatred in his heart!
Yin Zhixiong shook his head. “The cause of this is that Xiao Wu’s people kidnapped and killed the crown prince of a country in North Mystic Heaven.”
“Even if the Emperor knows, it won’t be convenient for him to take action. Otherwise, with his identity, he will definitely be criticized by the world!”
Zhong Yuanqi and the others nodded silently. Yin Zhixiong’s words were indeed very reasonable.
As the ruler of a region, it was extremely inappropriate for Emperor Dongyuan to appear directly.
After all, Donghuang Ziyou was not the one who took action.
Furthermore, Qin Wu was in the wrong. His identity was like an ant compared to Emperor Dongyuan.
Asking Emperor Dongyuan to openly start a war with Empress Mystic Ice for someone as insignificant as Qin Wu was clearly a fool’s dream!
“Then, Holy Lord, how should we deal with this?” Zhong Yuanqi asked.
He knew that since Soaring Wind’s Holy Lord wanted to avenge Qin Wu and did not want to ask Emperor Dongyuan to take action, he must have his own plans.
Yin Zhixiong said, “A few days ago, a very powerful skeleton warrior appeared in the Lengyang Kingdom.”
“After I personally went to search, I finally found their mastermind, the White Bone Great Sage!”
“Now, I’m going to use him to kill Donghuang Ziyou!”
White Bone Great Sage!
Hearing this name, Zhong Yuanqi and the others revealed extremely terrified expressions.
This was the most legendary skeleton cultivator in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm in the past hundred thousand years.
It was rumored that when the White Bone Great Sage was alive, he was an ordinary person who had no achievements in the martial arts world.
Unexpectedly, after he died, he unleashed endless potential.
He cultivated with white bones, forged white bones and mountains, and stepped on white bones and lotus platforms. His cultivation level reached the Great Saint Realm, and he became a White Bone Great Saint.
In the end, he established the White Bone Imperial Court and gathered a million skeleton warriors.
Later on, for some mysterious reason, the White Bone Imperial Court suddenly disappeared from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
The White Bone Great Sage also disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, Yin Zhixiong found him recently.
Yin Zhixiong said, “Listen up. Find nine cultivation geniuses with high-grade spiritual roots in three days and bring them to me.”
“Moreover, this matter must be kept a secret. If anyone dares to leak a single word, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Yes!”
Zhong Yuanqi and the others hurriedly agreed.
They knew that Yin Zhixiong’s search for a genius with a high-grade spiritual root must be related to the White Bone Great Sage.
As for cultivation geniuses with high-grade spiritual roots,
He was referring to those talented cultivators with five-elemental spirit roots or a rare spirit root.
Although such people were relatively rare, with the Soaring Wind Holy Land’s influence and power in Dongyuan Heaven, it was not too difficult to find nine of them.
Seeing Zhong Yuanqi and the others leave the hall, Yin Zhixiong muttered,
“The White Bone Great Sage can increase his cultivation base by devouring the bones of others, and nine people with high-grade spiritual roots are a huge gift to him.”
“If I can borrow a few Emperor Realm Skeleton Kings from him, I will definitely be able to kill Donghuang Ziyou!”
…
Lin Xuan followed Man Jinghui and the others to the Arctic Kingdom’s royal palace.
Before he entered, he saw a few ministers in court attire rushing over.
When the ministers heard Man Jinghui call Lin Xuan the Consort, they immediately bowed to Lin Xuan. “Greetings, Consort!”
After bowing, Man Jinghui asked, “You’re also here to watch the martial arts competition?”
The ministers said in unison, “Reporting to the crown prince, we came because of this!”
“Moreover, not only are we here, but the Grand Tutor, the Grand Protector, and the others have also arrived long ago. I’m afraid all the civil and military officials of our court will be present!”
“Yes!” Man Jinghui nodded and then explained to Lin Xuan, “Consort, today is the day of the martial arts competition between our country and the Mulberry Cloud Island!”
Mulberry Cloud Island?
Lin Xuan frowned slightly.
According to the records of the Absolute Mystic Sutra, this island country was located in the north of the Arctic Kingdom, more than 100,000 nautical miles away from the coastline.
“The Mulberry Cloud Island is more than 100,000 nautical miles away from the coast. It’s a foreign clan outside of North Mystic Heaven. Why would they compete with the Arctic Kingdom?” Lin Xuan asked.
Since he had encountered this matter, he had to understand it clearly.
Man Jinghui and the others could not help but praise him. They did not expect the Consort to know so much about such a foreign clan. He was really knowledgeable!
As he brought Lin Xuan into the palace, Man Jinghui explained this to Lin Xuan.
It turned out that five years ago, before the Arctic Kingdom was established, it was still a tribe.
The king of the Mulberry Cloud Island Kingdom, Yelu Jinqi, brought his army across the sea.
They wanted to forcefully seize the land and chase everyone away from the Arctic Ocean.
Man Hongjun, who was the tribal chief at that time, led all his clansmen to resist. He fought with Yelu Jinqi’s army for ten days and ten nights without winning.
Since their side had suffered heavy losses, it was not suitable for them to continue fighting.
Yelu Jinqi made a request to Man Hongjun, and that was to decide the winner in the form of a martial arts competition five years later.
The winner would obtain this land.
As for the loser, they had to retreat from this land.
At that time, the tribe led by Man Hongjun had suffered huge losses and could not hold on any longer.
Seeing that Yelu Jinqi took the initiative to make peace, he agreed to this request.
Unexpectedly, more than a year later, Empress Mystic Ice, Donghuang Ziyou, ascended the throne and helped the tribe establish the Arctic Kingdom.
After Yelu Jinqi learned of this situation, he sent a letter to Man Hongjun, because he was afraid of Donghuang Ziyou. He said that the bet had to be changed.
He no longer needed the Arctic Kingdom’s territory. Instead, he turned the land ten thousand kilometers north of the Arctic Kingdom into a bet.
Because everyone knew about the martial arts competition between the two countries,
furthermore, considering how important this land was to the Arctic Kingdom, which lived by the sea, Man Hongjun could only agree to this competition.
In this way, today’s martial arts competition had actually become a martial arts competition between the Mulberry Cloud Island and North Mystic Heaven.
And the land north of the Arctic Kingdom to the sea became the focus of both sides’ competition.
“It seems like I came at the right time today.”
Lin Xuan revealed an amused smile.
Based on his understanding of the Mulberry Cloud Island, he decided to let North Mystic Heaven obtain the greatest benefits today.
Man Jinghui and the others couldn’t help but look at Lin Xuan and think that the Consort’s smile was a little unfathomable.
It was probably easy for the king of Mulberry Cloud Island to come today, but it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed!
