After Han Bingning left, Chu Zhantian was the first to come to his senses and quickly killed the third-level Divine Emperor Realm Third Layer expert from the Carefree Holy Land.
With the death of that Divine Emperor Realm Third Layer expert Chen Yuan was the only remaining Divine Emperor Realm expert on the Carefree Holy Land side.
Even though Chen Yuan's cultivation level was higher than Chu Zhantian's, his combat strength was somewhat inferior.
Therefore, after a brief exchange, Chen Yuan was quickly outmatched and Chu Zhantian seized the opportunity to kill him with a single palm strike.
In this way, no one in the Carefree Holy Land could rival Chu Zhantian.
Chu Zhantian showed no mercy in his attack, ruthlessly slaughtering them all.
These people were all here to destroy his Chu Clan. The Carefree Holy Land and the Chu Clan had already completely broken off relations, so he had no scruples or politeness whatsoever.
After these people were killed, the only remaining powerful figure from the Carefree Holy Land who attacked was Zhao Xiao'er, the Fourth Ancestor was in the void.
Zhao Xiao'er was no match for Zhan Wuji, one of the three ancestors of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, and had already been injured.
Therefore, seeing that the situation was hopeless, he did not hesitate to use his escape technique at the cost of serious injury.
Zhan Wuji did not give chase.
With this, the matter concerning the Chu Clan came to a complete end.
Today, the powerful forces of the Carefree Holy Land have come to attack, and the Fourth Ancestor is personally leading the team, while the Holy Lord is Gu Ran overseeing the situation.
They came with great force, high morale, domineering arrogance, and an air of invincibility!
Zhao Xiao'er, the Fourth Ancestor of the Carefree Holy Land, even boasted that today, he would destroy the Chu Clan, and the Chu Clan would surely perish.
But what was the outcome?
The Holy Lord was Gu Ran injured and on the verge of death when he was rescued by First Ancestor.
Zhao Xiao'er was seriously injured and fled.
The rest were completely wiped out; all three Divine Emperor perished!
They came in full force, but ultimately left in a sorry state, a stark contrast to their earlier success.
When this news spread, the Eastern Wasteland was once again shaken, causing a huge uproar.
The battle between Gu Ran and Han Bingning, in particular, felt utterly absurd.
The two Holy Lords clashed at the Chu Clan. Gu Ran unleashed the sect's forbidden technique Myriad Saints Pay Homage to Heaven, but even he failed to suppress Han Bingning. Instead, he was almost killed by her.
This is simply unbelievable, absolutely breathtaking!
At the same time, the other ancestors of the Carefree Holy Land also suffered a great defeat at the hands of other vassal Lineage of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land.
They went off with great fanfare, but ultimately returned defeated. Although they didn't suffer the same humiliation and near-total annihilation as the Chu Clan, they still lost face badly.
Not only did they fail to wipe out the vassal Lineage of those Ancient Desolate Holy Land, but they also suffered heavy losses, with many of their own killed.
After this news spread, the Eastern Wasteland was shaken once again, and countless people were terrified and puzzled.
If that's the case, doesn't that mean the Ancient Desolate Holy Land is far stronger than the Carefree Holy Land?
But if that's the case, why has the Ancient Desolate Holy Land been suppressed and targeted for so many years, yet remained so silent?
Only a few people knew that the reason why the Ancient Desolate Holy Land acted this way was because it truly feared the First Ancestor of the Carefree Holy Land.
That one is the most powerful being in the Carefree Holy Land, a pillar of strength that can stabilize the world.
They were also puzzled. When they were at the Chu Clan's place, the First Ancestor of the Carefree Holy Land had clearly appeared, so why didn't he take action or help the Carefree Holy Land? Instead, he rescued Gu Ran and left.
Was it that the First Ancestor harbored some unseen apprehension towards them, or was Gu Ran so important that immediate rescue was imperative?
Nobody knows the answer.
Ye Xuan naturally knew about these things, but he had no interest in paying attention to them at all.
He has returned to the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, back to the Holy Son Hall, and begun his secluded cultivation.
He also gained a lot from the battles during this period.
In particular, his brief encounter with that black-robed Heavenly Position gave him a profound insight.
There are now less than half a month left before the Xuanyuan Mystic Realm opens.
He aims to break through to the Golden Core Realm within the next two weeks.
Only in this way could he have a greater guarantee of survival in that Xuanyuan Mystic Realm.
Ye Xuan also recalled something else: the two Nascent Soul Peak assassins who were present outside Heavenly Fragrance Tower.
At that time, Han Bingning only killed the black-robed Heavenly Position cultivator, but did not attack the two Nascent Soul Peak cultivators.
It's unclear whether Han Bingning was unaware of their identities and thus forgot about them, or whether she disdained to kill them because she saw that the two hadn't targeted Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan noticed the bloodstains at the corner of Han Bingning's mouth, and with Chu Rufeng's antics, he forgot about the two of them.
But it doesn't matter, he's only at the Nascent Soul Peak. Once he breaks through to the Golden Core, he should be able to handle him.
We can kill them next time we encounter them.
Ye Xuan went into seclusion to begin his attempt to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
But the storms from the outside world have not stopped.
The great patriarchs of the Carefree Holy Land suffered a setback, so things quieted down briefly.
However, the Ancient Desolate Holy Land has not ceased its killing and revenge.
They continued their campaign to annihilate and exterminate the vassal forces of the Carefree Holy Land who had participated in the extermination of their clan.
Even if their operation failed, they still carried out an action, and they will eventually have to pay the price.
At the same time, the elders of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land also became vigilant and began to pay close attention to the Carefree Holy Land.
To be precise, they began to pay attention to the mysterious and powerful First Ancestor of the Carefree Holy Land.
The fact that he has emerged from seclusion is not a good thing; they are also afraid that he might stir up trouble in the shadows.
In short, with this series of major events, the atmosphere in the entire Eastern Wasteland seemed to become tense and subtle, with signs of an impending storm.
On the fifth day of Ye Xuan's seclusion, a large group of powerful figures suddenly arrived outside the Eastern Wasteland Realm.
These powerful individuals are clearly not from the same faction.
They were divided into several groups; some rode divine beasts, some rode in luxurious carriages, and some flew directly through the air, riding the clouds and mist.
However, they all have one thing in common: each faction has several extremely powerful figures in charge.
Even the young cultivators had an arrogant expression, as if they were born noble, and their eyes looked at the Eastern Wasteland with disdain and condescension.
" Eastern Wasteland, is this the Eastern Wasteland Realm? After several months, we've finally arrived! It's unbelievable that such a desolate place can give birth to Chaos Sacred Body."
"Hehehe, let's make this clear beforehand: we'll compete fairly. Whoever wins it gets the Chaos Sacred Body. No cheating allowed!"
"Let's not talk about that for now. It's said that there's a Xuanyuan Mystic Realm in the Eastern Wasteland that's about to open. Could it be the remains of that Sage Xuanyuan who shook the Upper Realm back then?"
"How is this possible? How could a peerless figure like the Sage Xuanyuan come to such a godforsaken place, and how could he perish here?"
"Who cares if he is that Sage Xuanyuan or not? But since we're here, we might as well let the juniors go in and take a look. Perhaps they can get some opportunities. Let's try to grab some spots first."
The powerful figures from the various factions conversed freely as they headed directly towards the Eastern Wasteland Realm.
However, just as they approached the entrance to the Eastern Wasteland Realm, a vast and terrifying aura suddenly enveloped them.
