Chapter 687

Regarding the matter of Qin Zhen, the Bai family did not conceal it from Qingtian Holy Land.

And Qingtian Holy Land did not go looking for trouble with the Bai family; even if they didn't care about the Bai family, the Yunluo Holy Land behind them could not be indifferent.

Thus naturally, Qingtian Holy Land blamed everything on Dao Yi Sect.

As a Great Emperor expert, Shèngzhǔ of Qingtian Holy Land ought to know the sect's whereabouts, but he merely said indifferently.

What of eleven Great Saints? Without a Great Emperor presiding, they are still nothing but ants.

Moreover, a bunch of barbarians dare to kill an elder of Qingtian Holy Land; that is a death sentence.

"Yes."

Upon hearing Shèngzhǔ's words, the Holy Land elders present responded respectfully; that very day, several spatial spirit vessels flew out from within Qingtian Holy Land, heading straight for Yuezhou.

For the Holy Land to want to pursue a person, it is nearly a case of no way up to heaven and no door down to earth.

The Dao Yi Sect members currently in Yuezhou naturally also noticed this.

In recent days, many cultivators have mysteriously appeared around the area.

"It seems we have been targeted."

Having just finished a meal, Hong Zun said with a smile, regardless of whether these cultivators belong to Qingtian Holy Land, they are obviously monitoring us.

As for this, Qi Xiong and the others merely nodded slightly.

"Wasn't this already anticipated?"

"So what should we do now?"

"We'll meet force with force, water with earth—of course, if our uncle can break through to the Emperor realm, we need not fear Qingtian Holy Land."

Everyone's mindset is actually quite calm; such an outcome was already anticipated when we slew Qin Zhen, so there's nothing strange about it.

However, the pressure on Yu Mo and the two others to break through is great now; they must find a way to reach the Great Emperor realm as soon as possible.

"Why not get a few more Demon Emperors?"

To help Yu Mo and the two break through quickly, Mo Yun suggested obtaining some high-end ingredients.

But Yu Mo shook his head.

"Useless."

Breaking through to the Emperor realm isn't that simple; put bluntly, Yu Mo and the two are stuck at a bottleneck.

Their cultivation accumulation is already sufficient; even adding more heavenly treasures would have no effect.

At present, the three lack only a breakthrough opportunity, but no one can say when it will come.

At this moment, the surroundings of the inn where Dao Yi Sect resides are already filled with Qingtian Holy Land's various spies.

They have been firmly staring at Dao Yi Sect, their purpose being to wait for the Holy Land's powerhouses to arrive.

"Are these guys really not afraid of death? They show no intention to flee."

"If I were them, I should now try to leave Zhongzhou and escape back to Dongzhou."

"Heh, I think they know they can't escape, so they've resigned themselves to fate."

"Indeed, being targeted by the Holy Land, how could there be a good outcome?"

Everyone believed Dao Yi Sect was doomed, merely awaiting the arrival of Qingtian Holy Land's people, which would be its doom.

Faced with the immense threat and pressure brought by Qingtian Holy Land, the Dao Yi Sect members displayed calmness.

However, just as numerous powerhouses from Qingtian Holy Land were rushing over, Yuezhou first experienced a major incident.

Someone unintentionally discovered a seal within the Hundred Thousand Mountains of Yuezhou.

After the news spread, some cultivators went specifically to inspect it; although they failed to break the seal, they confirmed that inside lay the corpse of a Primeval Beast.

This instantly caused an uproar throughout Yuezhou.

Primeval Beast, as the name suggests, is the progenitor of demon beasts, its bloodline power extremely rich.

The value of a Primeval Beast corpse is considerable, and thanks to the seal's presence, its preservation is remarkably intact.

The news quickly spread, and increasingly more cultivators rushed to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, all wanting a share.

Obtaining a Primeval Beast corpse, even if not used personally, selling it would yield a huge fortune.

The Dao Yi Sect members naturally also learned of this news.

"Primeval Beast corpse............"

Dongzhou has no Primeval Beasts; this is also everyone's first encounter with a Primeval Beast corpse, but just how useful is this thing?

For now, the most critical matter for Dao Yi Sect is to find a way for Yu Mo and the two to break through; other matters can be set aside for the moment.

Therefore, regarding this Primeval Beast corpse, the Dao Yi Sect members' thoughts are not particularly significant.

However, upon hearing this news, Ye Zhangqing hesitated before speaking.

"If we have a Primeval Beast corpse, perhaps we could try it............."

"Try what?"

Upon hearing that, everyone's spirits were lifted.

One by one, they stared intently at Ye Zhangqing; under the collective gaze, Ye Zhangqing hesitated a moment and said.

"Try letting our ancestors attempt to break through to the Emperor realm."

"Logically speaking, regardless of its cultivation, in terms of bloodline richness this Primeval Beast is absolutely superior to a Demon Emperor, and its value as an ingredient is certainly higher than that of a Demon Emperor."

"It can be said to be a top-tier ingredient comparable to a Demon Emperor, but I also lack confidence, after all............."

Ye Zhangqing merely thought of a possibility, but did not have full confidence.

After all, the breakthrough opportunity for Yu Mo and the others before was the system-rewarded banquet.

However, at that time they were in Dongzhou, and Yu Mo and the two ultimately still failed to break through.

Ye Zhangqing speculated that if they could obtain an even more top-tier ingredient, might it be possible for the three to attempt another breakthrough?

But obtaining an ingredient surpassing a Demon Emperor is not easy; that would already be a Demon Emperor.

There's no way we could let the Dao Yi Sect people go kill the Demon Race's territory, right? If that were really the case, the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land would surely intervene at once.

So Ye Zhangqing had kept silent until now.

But I never expected someone to actually find the corpse of the ancestral beast; as the ancestor of demon beasts with an even richer bloodline, in Ye Zhangqing's view, even if one's cultivation hasn't reached the Emperor realm, as an ingredient it's more than enough.

But this is after all just a guess, and Ye Zhangqing isn't certain either.

So after explaining, Ye Zhangqing added.

"That Sect Master, I'm only guessing too, I don't have full confidence, everyone..............."

"Done."

However, before Ye Zhangqing could finish, Qi Xiong slammed the table on the spot, stood up, and shouted.

Before, I wasn't very interested in the ancestral beast, but now, that ancestral beast is mine alone!

Not only Qi Xiong, but the others' eyes also lit up; compared to a Demon Emperor‑level ingredient, what the hell are we waiting for?

Looking at the people, now completely different from before, Ye Zhangqing opened his mouth.

"Sect Master, I have no confidence."

"No problem, let's first get the ingredient and talk later; either way we're going to eat it."

"Huh???"

After Ye Zhangqing's analysis, the entire Dao Yi Sect was determined to obtain that ancestral beast, and they headed for the Ten Thousand Great Mountains that very day.

And the many cultivators who had been following the Dao Yi Sect, seeing this, were all stunned.

"No, what are they going to do?"

"It looks like they're heading for the Ten Thousand Great Mountains."

"The corpse of that ancestral beast?"

"Crazy, knowing full well they're wanted by the Holy Land, not running would be bad enough, but they still have the energy to pay attention to the ancestral beast's corpse?"

"These guys really don't care about their lives."

Not running would be bad enough, but you still have the leisure to mess with the ancestral beast's corpse—you truly don't take the Holy Land seriously at all.
