Chapter 1442

So, Ming must die!

Ye Xiao and the others exchanged smiles; they had already sentenced Xuanji Holy Lord to death.

When the Starvoid Ancient Mine opens, that will be Ming's day of death! He, like that Dao protector, is merely a passerby of our Abyssal lineage!

Numerous evildoers slipped away in the dark.

On the other side, the base of the Changsheng Sect.

Many elders of the Changsheng Sect, many elders of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, and the elders of the Zheng family gathered together in a hall.

Seated in the chief seat was Elder Mogu of the Changsheng Sect; beneath his robe, brilliant Divine Light surged—this was the radiance of myriad Gu artifacts' Dao Resonance within him, emanating outward, making his robe appear extraordinarily colorful.

His face was grave as he slowly spoke, 'In the past, Yang Tianming hid the place of the Mandate Origin; we have investigated many sites, but now this Starvoid Ancient Mine has merged with Guanxuan Star. Guanxuan Star is where Yang Tianming rose to prominence, and it is very important to him.'

So, perhaps the Mandate Origin exists within Guanxuan Star, or at least there are clues to it!

Beside them, Elder Qinsheng of the Lingxiao Sword Sect and Elder Limò nodded.

The Qin clan is also a major power of the Yaochi Star Domain, though it relies on the Lingxiao Sword Sect.

Within the Azure Cloud Star Sea, the Qin clan has several branches, with their main line in the Yaochi Dynasty.

Thus, the Qin clan's influence within the Lingxiao Sword Sect cannot be underestimated.

Elder Mogu turned to Qinsheng and asked, 'How are the Qin clan's preparations?'

Qinsheng nodded, saying, 'Below the Six-Star Dao Lord realm, we have fully assembled as you instructed, awaiting the opening of the Starvoid Ancient Mine. Our Qin clan's numbers are half again more than you specified.'

'Not bad.' Elder Mogu nodded, then looked to Elder Limò.

Limò respectfully said, 'Several branches of our Lingxiao Sword Sect have already descended, awaiting the opening of the Starvoid Ancient Mine.'

Mogu nodded, then turned to the Zheng family members.

Elder Zhenglin of the Zheng family bowed and said, 'The Zheng family is also fully prepared.'

Mogu was very pleased with this.

After all, venturing into the Starvoid Ancient Mine is fraught with deadly peril; how many will emerge alive remains unknown.

After all, within the Starvoid Ancient Mine still exists a powerful remnant human force, likewise a sword cultivator sect; the aura emanating from the mine's fissures can be sensed as comparable to that of a Dao Fruit realm expert.

Likewise, there is also the aura of a powerful Gu clan expert.

Fortunately, whether human or Gu clan, their aura has already been exhausted.

This is also why they chose to forcefully enter!

Casualties are unavoidable!

Moreover, the discovery by the Wan Shou Pavilion of the repercussions of the River of Time has given the Gu clan a strong sense of crisis.

We must find the Mandate Origin as soon as possible!

Moments later, Elder Limò suddenly said, 'Divine Envoy, you are urging us again.'

Mogu snorted coldly, disdainful, 'Feng Kuangman, right?'

Within their Gu clan, they had long since pushed Feng Kuangman's patience to the limit.

This person has extremely poor talent, yet boasts of his achievements; in truth, he has hardly any merit, merely claiming again and again that he endured countless life-and-death battles alongside the Longevity Ancestor of the World Tree.

Regarding this matter, it is still hard to verify, causing many Gu clan powerhouses to doubt Feng Kuangman's identity.

What they cannot tolerate most is that Feng Kuangman actually wants to swallow a portion of the Mandate Origin.

Thinking of this, they all want to laugh.

The Mandate Origin is not something just anyone can swallow; even Yang Tianming, hailed as the 'Child of Mandate,' could not withstand its backlash and perished.

Even Empress Yao Xi, after obtaining the Mandate Origin, fell.

How could a mere Feng Kuangman possibly bear it?

Thinking of this, Mogu sneered, 'Just placate Feng Kuangman; that's enough. Truly, give him a little sunshine and he'll blossom.'

If Feng Kuangman did not truly possess Gu clan blood, they would have already killed him.

Limò nodded, 'Yes, sir!'

Mogu asked, 'Regarding the Starvoid Ancient Mine, do you have any other questions?'

Zhenglin suddenly said, 'Sir, how should we deal with the sword cultivator force within the Starvoid Ancient Mine?'

Mogu frowned, 'We don't yet know the strength of that sword cultivator force, nor whether anyone remains alive; but for this expedition, we will let the Lingxiao Sword Sect enter, absorb the sword intent there, and refine more sword-intent Gu.'

Sword-intent Gu!

This is an offensive Gu artifact shaped like a small sword, crystalline and translucent; once activated, it can unleash actual sword qi, or be imbued onto a spirit sword, yielding tremendous power.

The Starvoid Ancient Mine is, for the Gu clan, an ideal place to refine Gu artifacts.

Limò asked, 'Sir, the sword cultivator force has sent out a distress call; should we go in to rescue them?'

Mogu's face showed a hint of playful, teasing smile, 'Then it depends on whether they can read the times. Those ancient humans are all stubborn mules; if they are willing to submit to our Changsheng Sect, to submit to the Longevity Ancestor, then we will rescue them.'

Conversely, if they remain immersed in the past dominance of the Hehuan Sect, wishing to resist our Changsheng Sect, then we will slaughter them outright! On this expedition, you will bring Gu-refining materials and enter; if they cling to their old ways, we will directly refine them!

Limò and the others nodded, 'Yes, sir!'

Mogu waved his hand, 'Summon those evildoers inside!'

Soon, many evildoers from the Changsheng Sect, Lingxiao Sword Sect, and Zheng family stepped inside.

'Lingxiao Sword Sect, Wang Kun greets the elders!'

'Zheng family, Zheng Feng greets the elders!'

'Zhang Cheng greets Elder Mogu!'

……

Mogu gave a faint smile, then his expression drastically changed as killing intent surged: 'This time, after you enter the Starvoid Ancient Mine and refine sword-intent Gu, kill as many Gu clan members as you can! Let them know who is the master of this heaven and earth!'

As for that white-haired woman, she must die!

Upon these words, everyone was startled.

I didn't expect the Longevity Sect's strong one to make this decision.

Wouldn't that put us against the Strange Clan?

Although the Abyssal Lineage of the Azure Cloud Star Sea has fallen, the Strange Clan's other lineages in the Obsidian Star Domain remain strong.

Mo Gu saw Li Mo, Zheng Lin, and the others looking doubtful, and he snorted, "Rest assured, we've reached an agreement with the Strange Clan; between low-star Dao Lord realms, it's just petty squabbles. You just go ahead and do it."

Hearing this, Wang Kun's face flashed with killing intent as sword intent surged, "Then let's just bury them all in the Starry Sky Ancient Mine."

Pa-pa-pa!

Mo Gu clapped his hands!

"Excellent! Excellent! If we can bury all the Abyssal Lineage that steps into the Starry Sky Ancient Mine, that would naturally be perfect! If, when the Starry Sky Ancient Mine opens, Heiyan and his group are dissatisfied, we'll take the hit!" Mo Gu revealed a hint of a cold smile.

……

Elsewhere, the Abyssal Lineage's base.

The Starry Sky Ancient Mine is about to open; Elder Heiyan sends a voice transmission to the myriad monsters and to Xuanji Holy Lord.

In a certain small world.

Xuanji Holy Lord and the others have all descended.

Elder Heiyan and many elders sat cross-legged above the Void, looking down on the crowd: "These past days, our conflict with the Longevity Sect has intensified! Surely after entering the Starry Sky Ancient Mine, there will be another fierce battle. Remember, upon entering, whoever you see from the Longevity Sect, or their subordinate forces, the Ascending Cloud Sword Sect, the Zheng Family—kill them all!"
