Chapter 133

"This ruin was originally the dwelling of our demon race. We absolutely will not allow you to come here to seize treasures — otherwise we will not be polite!"

A maiden with a pair of wings and a head of long golden hair also coldly shouted.

"This place was originally a ruin abandoned by our human race. Since ancient times it has been our human race's territory. You have only been lodging here — how can you claim and occupy the land?"

The Sect Master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven spoke, and the moment he opened his mouth, killing intent appeared on the faces of several demon-race beings.

"Indeed it is so. Every building here is in our human race's style. Where would your demon race ever construct such buildings? Clearly this is our human race's territory."

A Grand Elder of the Lingxu Cave Heaven spoke.

Once these words came out, quite a few Elders of the Lingxu Cave Heaven all nodded.

Indeed, the human race was the most creative race. The great hall before their eyes — only the human race could have created it. What ideas would the demon race have for casting a great hall?

"You're talking nonsense! This belongs to our demon race!"

Hearing the Sect Master and Grand Elder of the Lingxu Cave Heaven speak such reasoning, the demon-race men and women all grew anxious, but when they tried to refute, they found it hard to do so.

Just at this moment, thump, thump, thump.

A muffled sound issued from the ancient hall, as if the heart of some great existence were beating.

Boiling lava continuously surged outward, and the radiant ancient hall slowly rose, gradually about to leave the crater.

The crowd could finally see more clearly.

One could see that this ancient hall had been refined from five-colored divine jade, crystalline throughout, its radiance flickering. At its base were numerous ancient characters — some shaped like dragons and phoenixes, others resembling black tortoises and qilin.

"Demon script! This is our demon race's demon script! It is imperial script — it must have been left behind by a great emperor of our demon race!"

A great demon cried out in delight.

"Humans, did you see? This is our demon race's imperial script, left behind by a great emperor of our demon race from before the Desolate Ancient era. It has nothing whatsoever to do with you."

Another great demon also rejoiced, his gaze fierce.

He had finally found evidence that this was a hall of the demon race.

"These great demons don't even have brains, do they — to actually speak of a demon-race great emperor's imperial script. Who would leave after that?"

Fang Yu watched the contention in the distance, listening to the clash between the demon-race powerhouses and the Lingxu Cave Heaven powerhouses.

The several great demons had never been skilled at arguing. Earlier they had been put at a disadvantage by the Sect Master and Grand Elder of the Lingxu Cave Heaven. Now that they had evidence, they took the demon-race characters on the great hall as proof and spoke them out.

They spoke of demon-race characters, and even said these were the demon-race imperial script.

As if they had no brains at all.

Sure enough, the Sect Master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven's expression changed, and then he revealed an incomparably excited look: "I understand now. This is the burial place of the Green Emperor, the last great emperor of the Eastern Wasteland demon race."

The several great demons present immediately became self-righteous, about to force the Lingxu Cave Heaven powerhouses to leave — but they saw the Sect Master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven continue speaking, his expression even more excited.

"It is indeed the tomb of a demon-race great emperor, but it also buries a supreme treasure of our human race. Today is precisely the day it should be reclaimed by our human race."

The several great demons all revealed fury, extremely enraged, wanting to beat the Sect Master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven to death — but the four Grand Elders stepped forward and confronted these great demons.

"Everything I have said is fact. Back then, the Green Emperor unified the Eastern Wasteland and posed an enormous threat to our human race. A supreme treasure of our human race — the Desolate Pagoda — was lost at that time. Legend has it that it was seized by the demon emperor. And our human race's Xian Canon famed throughout the Eastern Wasteland — the Dao Scripture — was also split apart by someone at that time, losing an extremely important scroll. All evidence points to it being left behind by that demon-race great emperor. Today, the supreme treasures of our human race — the Desolate Pagoda and the Dao Scripture — should appear in the world."

The Lingxu Sect Master's expression grew more and more excited, and as he confronted the several great demons he actually took several steps forward of his own accord.

"Bullshit, bullshit! The tomb of our demon-race great emperor, yet you drag out your human-race supreme treasures and Dao Scripture — clearly you mean to seize the demon emperor's mausoleum. Truly shameless!"

"You humans, every single one of you is rotten to the core — truly calling a stag a horse, confusing right and wrong, inverting black and white, the absolute peak of shamelessness!"

Another great demon furiously spat out multiple idioms, seemingly a great demon among the demon race who was extremely familiar with the human race — seemingly even a sage of the demon race.

An ordinary great demon would absolutely never possess such erudition.

"If there aren't, we will certainly come bearing brambles to beg forgiveness — how about it?"

The Sect Master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven spoke again, and at the same time the various Elders all stepped forward as well, seemingly with the intention of seizing.

"No. Once you enter the demon emperor's mausoleum, you will always have all sorts of excuses."

A great demon absolutely would not agree, releasing a terrifying great-demon aura to block the Lingxu Cave Heaven powerhouses from entering.

"You several great demons have gone too far. Today, no matter what, we must reclaim the holy artifacts belonging to the Eastern Wasteland human race."

The Sect Master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven's attitude was resolute.

"You are forcing us to make a move!"

Seeing that a great battle was about to erupt, Fang Yu's voice traveled over from not far away — though his body did not step forward.

"What is the point of you all slaughtering each other before this gate? If you don't enter the demon emperor's great hall now, once time passes, those contending for treasures here will no longer be you — it will be the Desolate Ancient Clans and the various Holy Lands, such as the Desolate Ancient Ji Clan, the Jiang Clan, and the Fluctuating Light Holy Land. Will there still be a share for you then?"

His voice seemed like a clear stream, carrying a fresh flavor; wherever it passed, heaven and earth became clear and bright.

This was precisely the might of the Divine Ability Secret Realm — able to persuade others without a sound or trace. After all, the Divine Ability Secret Realm was a realm one could only reach by cultivating the brain to its utmost extreme.

The great demons about to slaughter each other and the Elders and Sect Master of the Lingxu Cave Heaven, upon hearing this voice, all sobered up — and then their expressions became extremely ugly.

Indeed, this was the reasoning.

If the tomb of a demon emperor had appeared in the world, it would be impossible to allow them to waste too much time killing each other. If they missed the present opportunity, there would no longer be a chance for them to take the stage afterward.

As long as any one Holy Land or Desolate Ancient Clan came, all these benefits would belong to them.

"Compete on your own merits!"

The several great demons of the demon race all had ugly expressions, but they also knew this was now the era of the human race. Although they could contend against the experts of the Lingxu Cave Heaven, once the Eastern Wasteland Holy Lands and Desolate Ancient Clans arrived, they would gain nothing at all.

"Fine — compete on your own merits!"
