"Of the two thousand people from our Carefree Holy Land who entered the Mystic Origin Mountain Range this time, fewer than five hundred came out alive, and we obtained fewer than sixty jade tokens for our quota."
"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened? Could it be that Ye Xuan possesses such strength that he could kill over 1,500 people from my Carefree Holy Land?"
The Second Old Ancestor of the Carefree Holy Land had a completely ferocious and distorted face, and his whole body was surging with endless and violent killing intent. His patriarchal demeanor was completely gone.
The other elders were in the same state, their faces twisted and dark, a terrifyingly ashen blue.
This time, the Carefree Holy Land has truly suffered a great loss.
Two thousand people, and less than five hundred survived. What does this mean?
A mortality rate as high as 75%—who the hell can accept that?
Most importantly, of the two thousand jade tokens available, the Carefree Holy Land only managed to snatch fifty-seven.
If this got out, it would probably make the other forces laugh their heads off. How could the Carefree Holy Land still have the face to call itself a holy land?
It should be noted that in previous competitions for the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm, the Carefree Holy Land had always managed to obtain at least three to four hundred slots, with a mortality rate of no more than ten percent.
Sensing the ferocious killing intent emanating from the several patriarchs, all the elders and disciples of the Carefree Holy Land fell silent, not daring to even breathe.
Their faces were also quite grim, but what could they do in the face of this bloody reality?
Even Zhuang Hai, the team leader, kept his head down, not daring to utter a single word, his entire body drenched in cold sweat.
"Disgraceful, truly disgraceful! Such a huge loss, yet such a small gain."
"The loss of over a hundred Nascent Soul is bad enough, but the most crucial thing is that Zhou Wushuang, Zang Xingtian, and Jian Qingshan also perished! This is simply outrageous!"
The Second Old Ancestor spoke through gritted teeth, his boundless killing intent directed entirely at Ye Xuan and the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.
" The Ancient Desolate Holy Land! Ye Xuan!!! My Carefree Holy Land will settle this score with you sooner or later!"
Upon hearing this, the Third Ancestor gritted his teeth and nodded. "That's right, this debt must indeed be settled with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land and that little beast Ye Xuan."
"But right now, securing a few more jade tokens is the top priority; we must find a way to do that."
"Fifty-seven pieces? That's far too few. Not only will we be ridiculed, but it will also tarnish the prestige of our Carefree Holy Land. We're afraid we won't even get much of the opportunity from the Carefree Holy Land Xuanyuan Mystic Realm."
The Third Ancestor's words hit the nail on the head, striking a chord with everyone.
That's right, the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm, it's the largest secret realm in the Eastern Wasteland, bar none.
It contains countless opportunities and abundant resources.
The Carefree Holy Land has risen to prominence precisely because it has won the most slots in every competition for the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm, attracting the most people to enter in search of opportunities.
The opportunities there aren't just for elders and disciples; even some of the ancestors themselves can use them.
These ancestors, including the Holy Lord of the Carefree Holy Land, although they had never entered the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm Xuanyuan Mystic Realm, had still received many benefits from it.
Therefore, such a spot is truly precious; obtaining one more spot or having one more person enter is an unparalleled opportunity.
Upon hearing this, the Second Old Ancestor forced himself to calm down and nodded:
"That's right, the most urgent matter is indeed the quota jade tokens. It seems we should also break the rules a bit and target some forces."
As he spoke, a chilling glint appeared in his gloomy eyes.
Upon hearing this, everyone else felt a chill run down their spines. The Third Ancestor said in a deep voice:
"Targeting certain forces? Targeting whom? We need to be discreet about these things and avoid leaving any clues."
All the forces in the Eastern Wasteland have their own unspoken rules.
Take the quota for the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm as an example. In the Mystic Origin Mountain Range, you can kill and rob, it all depends on your personal strength. But once the quota competition ends, you are no longer allowed to rob.
Otherwise, if all the major powers did this, there would be no need to participate in the competition for spots.
Just wait until everyone else has finished fighting over it, then you can try to snatch it.
That would lead to complete chaos.
Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in the Eastern Wasteland: whoever dares to break the rules will be attacked by all the forces.
Of course, despite this, after each round of competition for the spots, many people still die mysteriously, and their spot tokens disappear without a trace.
However, most of those people were rootless drifters, and there were only a few of them. In addition, the enemy acted secretly and their activities were not exposed, so no one said much.
But now, the Carefree Holy Land is going to target those forces, which changes the nature of the situation.
The destruction of any force, even a third-rate one, would likely cause a sensation and generate considerable repercussions.
The Second Ancestor sneered, "Who should we target? Of course, those forces that are on good terms with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land! For example, the Nangong Clan!"
At this point, he snorted coldly, his eyes filled with chilling intent. "That bitch Nangong Dai, didn't she want to curry favor with Ye Xuan, didn't she want to curry favor with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land?"
"Then let's start with the Nangong Lineage. I want to see who dares to publicly curry favor with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land after this!"
"As for the rules, heh, rules are nothing! This is how my Carefree Holy Land does it, so what? Who dares to do anything to my Carefree Holy Land?"
"This time, our Carefree Holy Land is here to establish its authority and warn those people what the consequences will be if they befriend the Ancient Desolate Holy Land!"
"In addition, go to the Lin Clan and force them to choose sides. If they dare to compromise again, wipe them out as a warning to others!"
"Since Ye Xuan's descent into the world, the Ancient Desolate Holy Land has ceased its dormancy and is poised for a resurgence. As the saying goes, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We are here to make our stance clear: those who submit to us will prosper, and those who oppose us will perish!"
The Second Old Ancestor spoke in a chilling tone, his killing intent surging. By the end, the killing intent emanating from him had materialized and soared into the sky.
The other elders and members of the Carefree Holy Land were initially shocked upon hearing this, but then nodded with sinister smiles.
Yes, the Ancient Desolate Holy Land has already displayed its domineering and ruthless nature for Ye Xuan's sake.
Therefore, even in his Carefree Holy Land, he absolutely cannot appear too weak.
After tallying their gains and losses, the various factions quickly dispersed and returned to Xuanyuan City.
Some people left immediately after returning to Xuanyuan City and went back to their Lineage.
Others chose to stay here.
There is still a month and a half before the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm opens. The time is neither long nor short. Whether you choose to return to your Lineage or stay in Xuanyuan City is also an option.
Ye Xuan and the others from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land naturally could not stay in Xuanyuan City any longer, and instead headed directly back to the Holy Land.
This time, quite a few spots were obtained; Ye Xuan alone received over five hundred. Han Bingning also needs to carefully consider and discuss who should receive the spots.
After returning to his residence, Zhou Changsheng, the head of the Zhou Lineage, quickly packed his things and prepared to leave.
The Zhou Lineage's harvest this time was quite good, obtaining a total of eight jade tokens, which is quite remarkable for a third-rate Lineage.
Since the Zhou Lineage is not far from Xuanyuan City, he plans to return to his Lineage first and come back after the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm opens.
However, just as Zhou Changsheng finished packing his things and led the Zhou Lineage family to the entrance of the camp, a large group of people came from afar and blocked their way.
