Chapter 844
If Li Yi survives the tribulation in the Red Gold Mountains and becomes a god, then who will be the unluckiest?
Undoubtedly, the Divine Wood City.
Because the Red Gold Mountains are only five hundred miles away from the Divine Wood City, and when a god is born, at least a thousand miles of land will become his territory. By then, regardless of whether the divine bloodline warriors of the Divine Wood City lineage agree, the Divine Wood City will be annexed.
The merchants smelled this crisis and decided to pass the news back to the Divine Wood City. At the same time, they also planned to move out of the Divine Wood City temporarily, not wanting to get involved in such a struggle.
Whether it was the divine bloodline warriors of the Divine Wood lineage or the Red Gold Mountain Lord who might soon become a god, they could not afford to offend either.
When this news reached the Divine Wood City at the fastest speed.
The people in the Divine Wood City were suddenly panicked.
"The Red Gold Mountain Lord is about to become a god?" An old man wandering in the city was shocked after hearing the news brought back by the merchants.
His name is Master Mu Sang Gong, and he is a wise man of the divine bloodline in the Divine Wood City. However, because he is not a divine bloodline warrior, even with the status of a wise man, he is not well-regarded, so he does not live in the City Lord's Mansion, but in the city.
"Why didn't the warriors of the Divine Wood lineage receive such important news?" Master Mu Sang Gong was very angry. Then he realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately took a strange beast to the City Lord's Mansion.
He knew about the Red Gold Mountain Lord, Lord Dayi. Mu Tuo, a direct descendant of the divine bloodline of the Divine Wood lineage, had been defeated by Lord Dayi on the Red Gold Mountains.
Later, in order to regain his dignity, Mu Tuo, together with Mu Shu and Mu Xi, prepared to challenge this Red Gold Mountain Lord and take over the Red Gold Mountains, but they were attacked halfway, resulting in Mu Xi's death. Mu Tuo and Mu Shu were seriously injured and sent back by the merchant Xiu Xiang. For this, the Divine Wood lineage paid a very generous reward.
After that, the Divine Wood lineage temporarily gave up the idea of taking over the Red Gold Mountains.
It was not just because the power of the Red Gold Mountains was growing day by day, but according to the merchants, the Red Gold Mountains were almost dug out, and there was not much red gold left, so it was not worth triggering a war between Mountain Lords.
But the death of the divine bloodline descendant Mu Xi was still a pain for the Divine Wood lineage.
"In any case, a god must not appear in the Red Gold Mountains, otherwise, the Divine Wood lineage will surely perish because of it."
Master Mu Sang Gong clenched his old palms. As a wise man, he seemed to have seen a certain day when the Red Gold Mountain God sat under that divine tree, patrolling his territory, while the warriors of the Divine Wood lineage would be extinct because of it.
"Stop." When the strange beast mount was about to enter the area of the City Lord's Mansion, a warrior stopped him.
"I am Master Mu Sang Gong, and I want to see High Priest Mu Wu," said Master Mu Sang Gong, while taking off the golden leaf used for decoration on his hair.
This is a symbol of his identity.
Soon.
The warrior let him pass.
Master Mu Sang Gong walked along a familiar road toward the City Lord's Mansion. The closer he got to the City Lord's Mansion, the more dazzling and brilliant the light of the golden divine tree above his head became. By the time he reached the City Lord's Mansion, this light was enough to burn people to death.
To enter and exit the City Lord's Mansion, only the divine bloodline warriors of the Divine Wood lineage could withstand the burning of this golden light; otherwise, they could only walk in the shadows.
Soon.
Master Mu Sang Gong arrived in a large hall.
But no one paid any attention to him, just leaving him alone here.
Master Mu Sang Gong didn't care about being ignored. He just angrily tapped the ground with his staff, making a huge noise: "High Priest Mu Wu, come out quickly! The Divine Wood lineage is about to perish, and you don't even know about it!"
"A god is about to appear in the Red Gold Mountains, and the good days of the Divine Wood lineage are coming to an end. Mu Wu, come out quickly!"
Accompanied by his shouting, soon, many warriors were attracted.
"It's Master Mu Sang Gong, what's wrong with you? Have you gone crazy? This is the City Lord's Mansion, you should be more respectful," a young warrior said angrily.
If it weren't for the fact that Master Mu Sang Gong is a wise man, he would have been thrown out by now.
But Master Mu Sang Gong ignored them and kept shouting, because these young warriors who rushed over couldn't handle anything; only High Priest Mu Wu could deal with such a serious matter.
And after a lot of commotion.
More and more warriors gathered, and this matter finally succeeded in stirring up High Priest Mu Wu.
"Master Mu Sang Gong, you'd better be here for a major event of the Divine Wood lineage. If not, even if you are a wise man, I will definitely punish you severely."
High Priest Mu Wu appeared at this moment. Although he was old, he was still strong. He held a wooden staff made of a divine tree branch, exuding a powerful majesty.
Because Mu Wu is not just a High Priest, he is also a direct descendant of the divine bloodline, possessing powerful strength.
"A strange phenomenon has appeared in the Red Gold Mountains. Lightning has turned into a vast ocean, covering the entire mountain range. This is a sign that the Red Gold Mountain Lord is about to become a god!" Master Mu Sang Gong tapped the ground and roared anxiously.
Hearing this, High Priest Mu Wu's expression changed suddenly.
He immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Last time, the Red Gold Mountain Lord, Lord Dayi, had ambushed Mu Tuo, Mu Shu, and Mu Xi. The strongest warrior among them, Mu Xi, died because of it, and the Divine Wood lineage is still thinking about revenge for this.
It's just that the Red Gold Mountains have changed too much. Not only was the red gold dug out, but dozens of Mountain Lord-level warriors appeared, which made him, as a High Priest, have to consider the cost of revenge, so he gave up the action.
But this time, the news brought by Master Mu Sang Gong was even more shocking.
A god was actually about to appear in the Red Gold Mountains.
"Master Mu Sang Gong, where did you get your news?" High Priest Mu Wu asked seriously.
Master Mu Sang Gong said: "It has spread among the merchants in the Divine Wood City now. Many merchants are packing up and leaving the Divine Wood City. They are worried that after a god appears, the Divine Wood City will be harmed, so they have transferred their wealth in advance."
"Damn it."
High Priest Mu Wu immediately became angry, and at the same time believed Master Mu Sang Gong's words.
These merchants would never leave the Divine Wood City and abandon their homes and servants in the city because of a piece of false news, so the fact that a god is about to appear in the Red Gold Mountains must be true.
If that Red Gold Mountain Lord really becomes a god, then the Divine Wood lineage will be completely destroyed.
Such a big event made High Priest Mu Wu a little anxious. He roared: "Mu Yan, go light the fire and summon all the divine bloodline warriors of the Divine Wood lineage to the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Yes, High Priest." A divine bloodline warrior named Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately ran out.
His movements were fast, and the ground shook as he ran.
Soon, a golden flame burned from a high ground in the City Lord's Mansion.
With the appearance of this golden flame, the temperature of the entire Divine Wood City increased a lot, giving a scorching feeling.
And the divine bloodline warriors of the Divine Wood lineage were shocked when they saw the burning golden flame, and then they put down everything and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.
Because only when the Divine Wood lineage is at a life-and-death juncture will the golden divine fire be lit.
Soon.
Powerful warriors gathered in the City Lord's Mansion. They walked into the hall and saw High Priest Mu Wu sitting in the main seat. They bowed to the High Priest to show their respect.
Seeing the powerful divine bloodline warriors of the clan appearing, High Priest Mu Wu's expression felt a little better.
But he didn't speak, but was waiting for the arrival of the clan leader.
A few hours later.
The clan leader of the Divine Wood lineage, also known as the Divine Wood Lord in the merchants' words, flew to the Divine Wood City from afar riding a golden Luan bird.
"High Priest, what happened in the Divine Wood City?" The Divine Wood Lord was a middle-aged strong man over four meters tall. His muscular body was covered with golden patterns like leaves, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.
He walked with big strides, his red gold heavy armor clanking. Wherever he passed, the warriors of the Divine Wood lineage gave way.
And many people saw that the Divine Wood Lord was stained with a lot of blood, as if he had been fighting with powerful enemies not long ago.
Seeing the Divine Wood Lord return in time, High Priest Mu Wu's mood improved slightly. He said: "Clan Leader, the Red Gold Mountain Lord is going to become a god before you."
"What?" The Divine Wood Lord widened his eyes, also looking very shocked.
As the clan leader of the Divine Wood lineage, he left the Divine Wood City to fight and kill outside, all for the sake of becoming a god as soon as possible, because only by becoming a god can the Divine Wood lineage reproduce the glory of their ancestors, and at the same time, the Divine Wood lineage will prosper for another ten thousand years.
"That Red Gold Mountain Lord's growth speed is too fast. He barely defeated the Thirty Mountain Lord Huo Huo before, and now he has become a Hundred Mountain Lord and is about to become a god." High Priest Mu Wu sighed: "This is my mistake. If I had called you back when Mu Tuo was defeated and taken down the Red Gold Mountains, these things would not have happened."
"High Priest, this is not your fault," said the Divine Wood Lord: "The divine bloodline descendants of the Divine Wood lineage are decreasing day by day. It is not worth losing the lives of clansmen for a Red Gold Mountain, and our Divine Wood City is not short of gold."
"Now I want to know how long the strange phenomenon in the Red Gold Mountains has been appearing."
"Less than a day," said High Priest Mu Wu.
The Divine Wood Lord said: "It's still in time. The strange phenomenon of deification will last at least nine days. During this period, if that Red Gold Mountain Lord dies, then a god cannot appear."
"The Divine Wood lineage must not be cut off. I will pay any price to make that Red Gold Mountain Lord disappear from this ancient land."
"Clan Leader, do you intend to lead the clansmen to attack the Red Gold Mountains?" said High Priest Mu Wu.
The Divine Wood Lord said: "I intend to invite other Mountain Lords to go together, using red gold, divine wood, and beautiful concubines, giving away everything, offering them a price they cannot refuse, and they will take action."
"As long as the divine wood is still there, our Divine Wood lineage will not decline."
High Priest Mu Wu's eyes flickered, seeing the determination and courage of this clan leader.
It should indeed be done this way at this moment.
As long as other Hundred Mountain Lords can be invited to help, the appearance of a god can be prevented, even if half of the divine wood is cut down, it is worth it.
In the future, as long as the clan leader becomes a god, everything will be worth it.
