The Holy Lords Make Their Move

"Young friend, you are Zhou Tong, right?"

Nangong Zheng smiled slightly, "What you said is indeed correct. If we consider that the Ruthless Great Emperor is already dead, all the cause and effect have vanished... However, if I am not mistaken, I'm afraid that young friend Zhou Tong also entered the Bronze Immortal Palace with young friend Ye Fan!"

"That's right!" Zhou Tong readily admitted.

There's nothing to hide about this, and there's no need to hide it.

"I never expected that you two young friends would be so remarkable, not only emerging from the Bronze Immortal Palace but also obtaining an unparalleled sacred artifact," said one of the Mighty Lord, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

Everyone, young and old alike, stared at Zhou Tong and Ye Fan with unfriendly expressions. If it weren't for the fact that they were in Jade Pool, some of them would probably have already lost their temper.

"You two are indeed blessed with great fortune, obtaining the sacred artifact of the Ruthless Great Emperor and inheriting his immortal treasures!" said Xiang Yifei, the Holy Son of Dayan.

Ye Fan was immediately shocked; he understood the underlying meaning in Xiang Yifei Yifei's words.

"Brother Ye obtained the Origin of Myriad Mother Qi, which is the envy of many. I wonder what other immortal treasures he obtained?" Dao Yi Holy Son asked casually. "And Brother Zhou, since you successfully walked out of the Bronze Immortal Palace alive, you must have come back empty-handed!"

"I'm sure they must have obtained other divine artifacts as well," a disciple of a top-tier sect chimed in.

"Yes, why keep it to yourselves? Tell us so we can share in your joy," someone else said.

Someone sneered, "Since the Bronze Immortal Palace is the place where the Ruthless Great Emperor secluded himself, it must contain those two ancient scriptures!"

Ye Fan's expression changed slightly as he looked at Zhou Tong.

He remembered Zhou Tong saying that he had obtained a scripture in the Bronze Immortal Palace.

It's actually the scripture of the Ruthless Great Emperor?

Ye Fan's slight change in expression immediately shocked the others. It seemed that the two of them might actually have obtained the Ruthless Great Emperor's "Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art" and "Indestructible Heavenly Merit".

"Could it be that he really inherited the legacy of Ruthless Person?!" Many Mighty Lord stood up, all revealing their killing intent. Everyone in the hall locked their attention on Zhou Tong and Ye Fan.

The Heavenly Palace was cold and like an ice cellar, filled with a chilling Killing Intent. Someone wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill the two people. The situation was extremely critical and could break out at any moment!

"Isn't Jade Pool going to do anything about this Killing Intent?" Zhou Tong said calmly.

"Everyone, this is, after all, the Jade Pool!" the Queen Mother of the West said, while she also stirred up a trace of the aura of the Supreme Emperor Weapon of the Empress West Pagoda, and the entire place fell silent.

"Is Jade Pool going to protect the Ruthless Inheritance?" asked a person from Yaoguang Holy Land.

"I remember that the successors of the Ruthless Great Emperor were Hua Yunfei of the Taixuan Sect and the Yaoguang Saint Son." Zhou Tong looked at the people of Yaoguang Holy Land and said softly, "Others who jump out and say that I am the successor of the Ruthless Great Emperor, I am too lazy to argue, but you Yaoguang are the least qualified to say that."

"Hmph, no need to argue!" the elder of Yaoguang roared.

"Why should I make excuses? Although your Yaoguang Holy Land is Yaoguang, it has long been corrupted by the descendants of the Ruthless Person Emperor. There is another lineage in Yaoguang that is constantly eroding the orthodoxy of Yaoguang!" Zhou Tong sneered, "Tens of thousands of years ago, on that stormy night, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron was personally forged by the Ruthless Great Emperor!"

"Your lineage is lurking in Yaoguang, Yaoguang Saint Son cultivates the Indestructible Heavenly Merit. Not only that, you are also constantly encroaching on other holy lands. The Tai Xuan Sect is led by Hua Yunfei, who inherits the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art."

Zhou Tong looked at the group from Yaoguang and chuckled, "You people want to use the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art to devour all kinds of origins at will, but you want me to take the blame for you. I was too lazy to bother with you, but you insisted on provoking me. Do you really think you can hide your Yaoguang's petty affairs from me?"

"They really think they're something special? They're just a bunch of self-important fools!"

Zhou Tong relentlessly criticized these high-ranking officials, showing them no mercy whatsoever.

"Brother Zhou, you've gone too far!"

The Yaoguang Saint Son stepped forward, his body enveloped in layers of holy light.

"Haha, Yaoguang Saint Son, I've heard you intend to embark on the Emperor's Path? If you wish to attain enlightenment in this Lifetime, do you dare to fight me to the death!" Zhou Tong pressed forward.

"Brother Zhou, you have already reached the Great Perfection of Immortal Platform Layer One. I am no match for you!" The Yaoguang Saint Son still spoke in his unhurried voice.

"I'll seal my cultivation and fight you on equal footing. Do you dare? I even Yaoguang the 'wife' that Yao Guang prepared for you. Are you still a man if you back down now? Your wife gets fucked and you're laughing as you watch?" Zhou Tong took another step forward, pressuring the Yaoguang Saint Son.

He spoke without any restraint, which silenced the entire room for a moment.

"Wow, Little Tyrant's so mean!"

"Zhou Tong is too ruthless! The Yaoguang Saint Son is destined to be remembered for eternity!"

"His wife was being raped while he watched and laughed. With this statement, coupled with the fabrications of outsiders, the Yaoguang Saint Son is destined to become a legendary cuckold!"

Pang Bo and Tu Fei, along with a few other bandits not far away, laughed inwardly.

Not only these few bandits, but also some other Holy Son, Holy Lord, and elders were suppressing their laughter.

"Enough!" Elder Yaoguang roared.

"Zhou Tong, you know you can't escape today, so you try to drag my Yaoguang Holy Land down with you before you die; who among you here doesn't know your wicked intentions?"

"Jiang Family Patriarch, aren't you going to say anything?" Zhou Tong suddenly turned his gaze to the Jiang Family Patriarch. "Those people lurking in the Yaoguang Holy Land have also come after your Jiang Family, haven't they? Jiang Yifei has also learned the ' Indestructible Heavenly Merit,' hasn't he!"

"Rumor has it that your Jiang Family brought back a Divine King Body from the outside world, intending for Jiang Yifei to devour it? Heh heh, as far as I know, the Jiang Family's Divine Blood Lineage is greatly ostracized, which is why a descendant of Divine King betrayed the Jiang Family and became Thirteen Great Bandits. Your Jiang Family's main branch no longer needs the God King Lineage because it received the inheritance of the Ruthless Great Emperor!"

Zhou Tong's words were quite sharp; he directly exposed all the sordid dealings of the Desolate Ancient Jiang Family in front of the entire martial arts cultivation world.

Immediately, the expressions of the other holy land Holy Lord changed slightly. They recalled some rumors, and this matter might actually be true.

"Absolutely not!" The Jiang Family Patriarch decisively refused.

How could he possibly admit to something like that?

Even if the Jiang Family possesses Imperial Weapon and their lineage is immortal, they are not the only force in the Big Dipper Imperial Weapon to possess such weapons. If the entire Big Dipper were to become wary of the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art and the Jiang Family Jiang Family, and subsequently blockade their resources and channels, then all would be lost.

Without sufficient resources, even the Jiang Family can only live off its past achievements, and in the long run, the family will inevitably decline.

"I knew none of you had the guts to admit it!" Zhou Tong looked around and said softly, "A bunch of cowardly rats, you'll never have a chance to move forward in this lifetime."

"No banquet is ever a good banquet. I guessed it from the very beginning!"

Zhou Tong said softly, "Since the entire cultivation world of Big Dipper does not welcome me, then I should leave!"

As Zhou Tong spoke, he pulled Ye Fan and turned to walk outside.

"Take them down!" someone shouted, and a Mighty Lord stepped forward, reaching out to grab Zhou Tong's neck.

Zhou Tong did not retreat, nor did he hold back anything; he continued walking straight past without changing his pace.

"Ah..."

The Mighty Lord let out a miserable scream as Zhou Tong swiftly sliced him in two with a sword strike that transformed into a palm strike. He walked through the gap without any hindrance, his figure stepping over the remains, followed by a shower of blood.

"One strike, one kill!"

"How is this possible? A Paragon killed Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure level with just one strike!?"

In that instant, everyone's expression changed; this person was far too dangerous, and his combat power was far too terrifying.

Thinking about it carefully, this Mighty Lord was a great being at the sixth Second Layer of Immortal Platform, six minor realms higher than him, yet he was still so vulnerable in front of him. It was truly shocking.

"Take the Xiao Nannan with you! Let's go together!"

After killing the Mighty Lord, Zhou Tong saw that Ye Fan hadn't made any preparations and had just followed him. He cursed Ye Fan inwardly as an "idiot." Without Xiao Nannan as a powerful backer, what was the point of all this? He immediately sent a telepathic message to Ye Fan.

"Xiao Nannan!?"

Ye Fan was taken aback at first, then a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

As he was leaving, Ye Fan also sent a telepathic message to Pang Bo, asking him to take Xiao Nannan with him.

Pang Bo was taken aback, then immediately picked up the Xiao Nannan and chased after Ye Fan and Zhou Tong.

"We can't let them go!" A powerful being suddenly sprang to his feet.

"Thump!"

He directly summoned a large cauldron, pierced through the Void the Great, and smashed it down. The terrifying power shattered the Void the Great and enveloped Zhou Tong, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Xiao Nannan.

"Clang!!"

First came the sound of a sword, followed by a dragon's roar. A flash of dark light appeared, and everyone seemed to see a black dragon disappear in a flash, or a jet-black sword aura slashing against the heavens.

"Snap!"

Suddenly, the cauldron shattered, and the terrifying sword energy, like a black True Dragon, sliced through the cauldron and tore through the Void the Great.
