Ancestor, Please Go and Rest!
A sudden shout drew Huang Pi's attention.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Yi spoke up:
"Senior, if you only wish to take the Origin of Fire, our Extreme Arms Holy Land is willing to yield the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuanyin turned his head to look.
"No, the Holy Land cannot be allowed to lose its fire... cough cough cough..."
Another series of violent coughs followed, and the momentum he had just built up collapsed like a punctured balloon.
Huang Pi glanced at Jiang Yuanyin and shook his head.
As a powerful figure, he possessed his own pride, and given the current state of his opponent, he genuinely had no desire to make a move.
If he were just a little stronger, healthier, or more ruthless, he would have twisted the other person's head off.
However, in the current situation, even if one were to kill, there would be no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.
Immediately, the speed at which it gathered power slowed down.
On the other side, Jiang Yuanyin finally stopped coughing violently.
He seemed to want to say something more, but suddenly his breathing became labored, and he simply looked at Duan Yi and rebuked him:
"No!"
"Ancestor Jiang!"
Duan Yi, however, remained resolute and said:
"The Holy Land can exist without the Origin of Fire, but it cannot exist without you, Ancestor!"
Their ancestor treated them with such devotion, willing to exhaust his lifespan to protect the Extreme Arms Holy Land; how could they possibly stand idly by?
People shouldn't be so heartless!
Of course, the Origin of Fire is related to the future development of the sacred land, so such a decision cannot be made entirely based on emotion.
On the other hand, even if the patriarch were to make a move, he might not be a match for the opponent. If he were lucky, he might be able to hold his own and temporarily force the opponent to retreat. As for gaining the upper hand and keeping the opponent here, there are hardly any miracles in this world.
If they're not a match for you, they won't leave. Even if it's a draw, if they leave, does that mean they won't come back?
Furthermore, while the Origin of Fire can attract cultivators from the outside world, can it be maintained indefinitely, even if it can be held for a time?
The answer is obvious.
It couldn't be held.
If we continue to persist, the likely outcome is that not only will we lose the Origin of Fire, but we will also lose our ancestor.
No matter how old Saint King is, as long as he lives, he is still Saint King and possesses awe-inspiring power.
The difference between having Saint King and not having Saint King is significant.
"Please, Ancestor, go and rest!"
Duan Yi stared intently at Jiang Yuanyin.
Jiang Yuanyin's throat moved, as if he wanted to say something.
At this moment, all the elders surrounding Duan Yi spoke up:
"Please, Ancestor, go and rest!"
The sounds intertwined, converging into a vast and powerful force.
Not far away, Huang Pi showed a look of surprise on his face and glanced at the group of elders who were speaking.
The atmosphere in the world suddenly became quite subtle.
"Well."
Jiang Yuanyin let out a long sigh:
"People get old, and they can't control their own lives anymore."
As the sound faded, his figure vanished into thin air.
Everyone was immersed in the complex emotions brought about by this event.
Who could have imagined that things would develop to this point?
"No wonder the Extreme Arms Holy Land is the foremost of the three holy lands in the Northern Region."
On the flying boat of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Lu Changzhi's heart stirred slightly.
Isn't this holy land's style much better than the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, which helps powerful figures in their factions self-destruct and tries to escape when faced with a crisis?
However, after the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's invitation to the Ancestor to die, seeing him now being asked to rest at this crucial moment evokes completely different feelings.
On another part of the flying boat, Sun Yi's gaze fell on Duan Yi, and he nodded slightly:
"The Holy Lord of this Extreme Arms Holy Land is a reasonable person and can be considered a partner."
This is precisely why they came here.
To establish a teleportation array, it is necessary to find a powerful force in Land of the Four Directions to cooperate with.
The Extreme Arms Holy Land is within the scope of consideration.
They also received intelligence that Huang Pi of the Huang Clan, along with his younger generation, had come to retrieve the Origin of Fire from the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
As a powerful expert at the Saint King Realm Fifth Stage, Huang Pi poses an absolute threat to the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
And it is precisely in times of great threat that the true competence of a particular faction becomes apparent.
Currently, they are quite satisfied with the actions taken by the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
However, despite their satisfaction, they had no intention of interfering.
Heavenly Treasure Pavilion generally does not interfere in matters between different factions.
In addition, just as eating a pinch of salt first can make sugar taste sweeter.
The Extreme Arms Holy Land need to suffer a loss first so that they will cherish their cooperation with the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion more.
Everyone reacted in their own way.
Huang Pi spoke up:
"Don't waste my time, quickly make way and take me there."
Although the attitude of this small force was surprising, they were actually willing to cooperate.
But something is only real when it's in your own hands.
At that moment, his gaze fell upon Duan Yi.
"Please follow me, senior."
Duan Yi took a deep breath and opened an entrance in the formation.
Huang Pi waved to the boy, and then they entered the formation together.
The elders of the Extreme Arms Holy Land all revealed their vigilance, some openly and some covertly.
This move is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.
It's essentially a gamble.
If the opponent has designs on more than just the power of Origin of Fire, then their ability to resist is still very small.
"How could my once Extreme Arms Holy Land have fallen to such a state!"
One of the disciples, witnessing this scene, felt deeply humiliated.
One of the disciples sighed softly:
"Sigh, more and more people are coming from outside. Even our largest holy land in the Northern Region is facing this situation. I really don't know how far we will decline in the future."
"Master often says, 'There are always people more capable than you, and there are always higher heavens beyond heavens.' I never imagined that the strength of those beyond heavens would be so formidable. I really must continue to cultivate diligently, otherwise I will have no chance to venture out and explore."
Duan Yi led the old man and the young man toward the place where the Origin of Fire was located underground.
The entire process proceeded without further conflict or disturbance.
But for the elders and disciples present, the impact was self-evident.
Whether it's viewed as humiliation, feeling despair, or trying to face the gap between each other, there are all sorts of people who experience it.
"Hopefully, that terrifying Origin of Fire won't be easily taken away by them."
Some elders still hold out hope.
Abandoning the Origin of Fire may be beneficial in the short term, but for the future development of the Extreme Arms Holy Land, it would undoubtedly be like cutting off one's own leg, or even worse.
Unfortunately, this expectation remains just that—an expectation.
Deep underground, where the crimson magma was, Duan Yi watched Huang Pi's figure steadily approaching the Origin of Fire, and sighed inwardly.
The other party clearly came prepared for this trip.
The Origin of Fire ultimately fell into the hands of the other side.
Inside the flying boat of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.
"What brings you here, sir?"
Sun Yi arrived and asked.
Lu Changzhi glanced down and smiled:
"I'm planning to do something right now, and I wonder if Heavenly Treasure Pavilion can provide any assistance?"
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful expression appeared on Sun Yi's face.
After a moment, a look of realization dawned on his face, and he said:
"The young man who came with Huang Pi is named Huang Hao. Although he has some talent, he is skilled in Dao of Medicine. He is quite young. If you were to fight him, young master..."
Lu Yuan was a warlike man, and now that he is his son, he must have inherited this trait.
However, before Chen Yi could finish speaking, Lu Changzhi shook his head and said:
"It's not a fight."
"It's a robbery."
