Chapter 1490

At the thought of their current isolated and helpless situation, the three ancestors of the Qingtian Holy Land were filled with rage.

One of the ancestors had a gloomy expression, cold glints flickering in his eyes; he remained silent for a long time, lost in thought, before slowly speaking.

"The three great holy lands are of one mind and one body. Since the Yunluo Holy Land and the Yaochi Holy Land are heartless, do not blame us for being unrighteous."

Upon hearing this, the other two ancestors looked puzzled.

"Senior Brother, what do you mean?"

"There is certainly no chance in a head-on battle. Even if the three of us could luckily escape, what about the disciples? By then, the foundation of the Holy Land would be destroyed in our hands."

Speaking of this, the expressions of the three ancestors became extremely complex.

The Qingtian Holy Land has been established for so many years, and as the one with the longest history among the three great holy lands, it has now fallen to this point.

How will they face the ancestors of the Holy Land in the future?

"We must not let the Holy Land perish in our hands."

One of the ancestors said through gritted teeth.

"Indeed, we only have one choice right now."

"What choice?"

"Leave the human territory and defect to the Demon Race."

A simple sentence, yet it made the atmosphere become incomparably oppressive.

Defect to the Demon Race? That is equivalent to betraying the human race. The other two ancestors looked at their Senior Brother in shock, never having imagined that he would say such a thing.

In fact, there have been no shortage of cultivators in the Central Continent who have betrayed the human race over the years, but this situation is completely different.

When ordinary cultivators betray the human race, at most it invites a round of angry curses, but what is the Qingtian Holy Land? It is one of the three great holy lands of the human race.

Although it is now at its sunset and tottering, its status and position are, after all, right there.

For a holy land to defect—if this were to spread, the entire human race would likely be shaken.

Facing the gaze of his two Junior Brothers, the ancestor who spoke said coldly.

"Besides this, do you have any other way?"

Hearing this, the two fell silent, and a flash of madness flickered in the eyes of this ancestor as he said.

"This is the only way to preserve the Holy Land. So what if we defect? As long as the Holy Land can be preserved, I am willing to bear all the infamy alone."

"Enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens is the only way to have a chance to revitalize the Holy Land. A temporary defection is for the sake of a future rise."

This was the only method they could think of at the moment. As for the other two ancestors, they fell into silence at this time and did not speak to refute it.

Not knowing the plans of the Qingtian Holy Land, they waited until the Daoyi Sect approached the Qingtian Holy Land and arrived outside the Holy Land's gate.

Yu Mo and the others looked puzzled.

"Strange..."

The sect-protecting array was not activated, and under a sweep of divine sense, no presence of anyone could be felt within the Qingtian Holy Land.

The entire Qingtian Holy Land seemed to have completely vanished.

Is there some trick? Or did the Qingtian Holy Land run away?

"You stay here; the three of us will go and investigate first."

Yu Mo said. Unsure if there were traps, Yu Mo decided to take action personally; after all, with their cultivation, even if they encountered any traps, they had the confidence to escape.

After speaking, the three disappeared directly from where they stood.

After circling the Qingtian Holy Land, they indeed did not find a single shadow.

The entire Qingtian Holy Land had vanished into thin air.

Not only that, all the resources and treasures within the Holy Land, including cultivation techniques and arts, had been taken away.

And some cultivation treasures that could not be taken away were directly destroyed, making them unusable.

It looks like it was premeditated; knowing they were no match, they ran away a step ahead.

Inside the main hall, after confirming there was no danger, the peak masters and elders of the Daoyi Sect gathered together.

Qi Xiong asked in confusion.

"Where could this Qingtian Holy Land have run to?"

To be honest, in the entire human race today, there is almost no place for the Qingtian Holy Land to stay.

As long as the Yunluo Holy Land and the Yaochi Holy Land do not intervene, it is useless wherever the Qingtian Holy Land runs.

"Perhaps they are just lingering on their last breath."

"Have you still not found the whereabouts of the Qingtian Holy Land?"

They have already sent people to investigate, including the Heiyan Chamber of Commerce and a host of affiliated forces, all searching for the current whereabouts of the Qingtian Holy Land.

With so many people, it is obviously impossible to hide, but there is still no news as of now.

However, just as Qi Xiong's voice fell, Wu Shou walked in hurriedly, his expression ugly.

"There is news."

"Where?"

"The Qingtian Holy Land has gone to the Demon Race."

Huh???

Once these words were spoken, the main hall fell into silence. Gone to the Demon Race? Everyone naturally knew exactly what this meant; had they directly defected?

"Did they really join the Demon Race?"

"It's not certain yet, but what is certain is that they have already made contact with the Tianlong Holy Land."

The Tianlong Holy Land had also been severely damaged before and now has greatly reduced strength; in this case, it is not impossible for them to accept the Qingtian Holy Land.

No one expected that the Qingtian Holy Land would actually make such a crazy choice.

If it was just a matter between the Qingtian Holy Land and the Daoyi Sect before, then now, the Qingtian Holy Land will be the enemy of the entire human race.

All human cultivators will hate them to the bone.

It is not hard to imagine what kind of shock this news will cause in the human race once it spreads.

After a long silence, finally, Yu Mo, who was in the main seat, spoke.

"This is their own choice; we cannot stop it. If we meet them in the future, we will just destroy them. There is no need to hide the news; look around to see if there is anything of value."

Since the Qingtian Holy Land has defected, there is nothing that can be done about them for the time being. Yu Mo and the others would not be stupid enough to rush directly into the Demon Race territory to hunt them down.

For now, this is all that can be done.

And such a big event naturally cannot be hidden.

Moreover, along the way, countless sect spies have been watching every move of the Daoyi Sect.

So the matter spread very quickly.

The first to learn of this were the two great holy lands, the Yunluo Holy Land and the Yaochi Holy Land.

Hearing this news, the Holy Masters of Yunluo and Yaochi, who were at the Wanyao Pass, were both shocked.

"What did you say? Defected to the Demon Race? Is the news reliable?"

"It is absolutely true; the Qingtian Holy Land has already made contact with the Tianlong Holy Land of the Demon Race."

"Damn it, it is truly a disgrace to the human race."

Hearing this, the Yunluo Holy Master cursed through gritted teeth. If the Qingtian Holy Land had the guts to fight head-on, even if they lost in the end, he would respect them as men.

But now, they have actually defected.

The Qingtian Holy Land can be said to know the relationship between the human race and the Demon Race better than anyone.

Moreover, as one of the three great holy lands of the human race, did those three old things of the Qingtian Holy Land not think about how big a blow their defection would be to the human race?

It is no exaggeration to say that the holy lands are almost the faith of all races in the Central Continent.

Whether it is the human race, the Demon Race, or the Barbarian Race, etc., the holy lands are the top forces guiding each race.

But now, a holy land of the human race has actually defected. How does this make the many cultivators of the human race feel? An existence that was once the faith of the human race has actually joined the Demon Race; the blow this is to the human race is immeasurable.
