Chapter 1812 - 1813: Leader of the Ten Absolutes! (First Update)
Chapter 1812 - 1813: Leader of the Ten Absolutes! (First Update)
Just as Ling Feng was quietly waiting for Ye Chu to prepare that batch of herbs and getting ready for the journey to the Wind Howling Forest, a sudden piece of news broke out in the Purple Crystal Imperial City.
It was news that Ling Feng had only just received!
The Green Emperor Seal is hidden in the Wind Howling Forest!
The source of the information was unknown, yet it spread rapidly.
And not only in the Purple Crystal Imperial City, Xiao Zhantian also informed Ling Feng that several large cities around the Purple Crystal Imperial City had already known this piece of information and had started preparing to head to the Wind Howling Forest to search for the Green Emperor Seal.
After all, the Five Emperor Seals are connected to the Five Emperors Treasure Vault, and everyone wants a piece of it.
Xiao Mansion.
Ling Feng sat quietly in his room, a deep frown on his face.
He had gone to great lengths to obtain this information from the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, and yet, within a day, it had become the talk of the town?
Could this really be a coincidence?
But according to Xiao Zhantian, some martial artists from certain cities had even received the news earlier than he did, suggesting that the leak of this information was unrelated to his infiltration of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
So, how did the Heavenly Alliance learn about the Green Emperor Seal’s clues?
Or rather, where exactly did this information originate from?
Ling Feng felt a vague sense that this was no simple matter. It seemed like someone had set a trap, intending to draw everyone towards the Wind Howling Forest.
Who could it be?
Ling Feng’s mind rapidly considered various possibilities.
Firstly, from the standpoint of motivation, who would desire to obtain the Green Emperor Seal?
Or rather, who wants the Five Emperor Seals the most?
Naturally, it should be someone who already possesses the Five Emperor Seals.
So, the person who set up this trap might have spread the information that the Green Emperor Seal is in the Wind Howling Forest to lure the one holding the Five Emperor Seals there.
And such a person must be the one who possesses the last Green Emperor Seal.
Realizing this, Ling Feng slightly squinted his eyes: this was a setup. But at the same time, it’s also an opportunity!
The one possessing the Green Emperor Seal uses it as bait, hoping to attract the other Five Emperor Seals.
And why couldn’t he, too, take the opportunity to snatch away the "bait"?
With the Green Emperor Seal in hand, the Five Emperors Treasure Vault would be at his disposal!
However, since the information is out, his competitors have increased.
Probably more than he could have imagined.
The Five Emperors Treasure Vault is originally the inheritance of the five Peak Emperors, which also includes the Demon Clan.
So, with the news spreading, it might even lead to the contention from the Demon Clan.
The Wind Howling Forest is likely already teeming with tigers and dragons, heroes gathered.
"Junior Brother Ling, what do we do now? Everyone knows the Green Emperor Seal is in the Wind Howling Forest, we..."
Yue HuaQin looked at Ling Feng, already lacking direction.
"No matter, this play can’t go on without me as the lead actor."
Ling Feng squinted and smiled. Of the Five Emperor Seals, four are in his possession, something no one could have expected.
Without him, this meticulously planned setup would likely end up as a one-man show.
"What do you mean?"
Yue HuaQin was completely confused by Ling Feng.
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled, then explained his thoughts to Yue HuaQin.
After all, Yue HuaQin certainly wouldn’t stay put. Since she would be acting with him, it was natural to fully inform her of his plan to avoid mishaps.
"Doesn’t that put you in danger?"
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, Yue HuaQin was aware that Ling Feng held four of the Five Emperor Seals, and if discovered, he would become everyone’s target.
"Fortune is sought in danger."
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "It’s just as simple as that. But with this situation, we don’t need to hurry and can let them whoever wants to, make their moves slowly."
...
Just as Ling Feng expected, with the news about the Green Emperor Seal out, there was an immediate upheaval around!
Regardless of whether the news was true or false, it was bound to incite a scramble from all sides.
East Spirit Immortal Pond.
In a grand hall shrouded with immortal clouds, nine figures sat each on a suspended throne.
At the forefront was a middle-aged man who appeared very gentle.
That middle-aged man was the East Spirit Immortal Pond Sect Leader, the Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor.
The Heavenly Origin Saint Emperor surveyed the Eight Halls Masters and said blandly: "About the Green Emperor Seal, what do you all think?"
"The Green Emperor Seal has always been rumored to be in the hands of the Blood Shadow Alliance. But now it’s said to be in the Wind Howling Forest, there might be a trick here."
The Blazing Sun Palace Master’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spoke gravely.
"Even if it’s a trick, we must go."
The Flowing Fire Palace Master stood tall and said in a loud voice: "Sect Leader, I, Yan Chihuo, would like to make a trip. No matter true or false, investigate and find out!"
"Brother Yean, the rule of not easily deploying Peak Emperor Level in non-foreign battlefields, have you forgotten?"
Jingfeng Palace Master Zuo Feiqing spoke: "The Wind Howling Forest is technically within the territory of the Five Thunders Sacred Land. If you go, Brother Yean, it might cause quite a stir."
"Hmph, even an idiot can tell that this involves the Blood Shadow Alliance. Those bastards have killed countless East Spirit Immortal Pond disciples over the years. I can’t swallow this anger!"
Yan Chihuo clenched his fist tightly. One of his direct disciples had also fallen at the hands of the Blood Shadow Alliance. Among the Eight Halls, Flowing Fire Hall was the most determined in clearing the Blood Shadow Alliance.
"Junior Brother Zuo is right in this matter."
The Blazing Sun Palace Master said slowly: "In any case, we shouldn’t act rashly. However, I do have a candidate I can recommend."
"Who?"
For a moment, everyone looked toward the Blazing Sun Palace Master in unison.
"It’s just a coincidence, the situation has calmed in the Land of Conquest, and the leader of the Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes is now cultivating quietly in the Immortal Pond."
"That guy?"
Yan Chihuo seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, then nodded, "If he acts, it’s appropriate."
"I agree." Zuo Feiqing also nodded.
"The top of the Ten Extremes, Heavenly Extreme Zhou Xuantong, this child can be entrusted with the task."
Soon, the Eight Halls Masters reached a consensus.
Although Tian Jue Zhou Xuantong was still a disciple, his strength could already compete with many Inner Elders.
As long as the Blood Shadow Alliance did not dispatch Peak Emperor Level forces, Zhou Xuantong handling this matter would not be an issue.
And if the Blood Shadow Alliance dispatched Peak Emperor Level forces, then the Eight Halls Masters of East Spirit Immortal Pond would naturally no longer be constrained in any way.
...
Southern Border Demon Domain.
In the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, not less than a hundred Demon Emperor level experts like the Dark Dragon Demon Emperor that Ling Feng previously encountered resided.
Above these Demon Emperors, there were even higher Holy Lands, worshiped by all demons.
The Demon Clan here referred to themselves as the Totem Clan, worshiping the God of Ten Thousand Beasts.
"Sons, the Dragon Emperor’s treasure is finally emerging!"
From a throne covered in the furs of Fierce Beasts, a stout middle-aged man made a loud announcement, and the Totem Clan’s people below cheered with enthusiasm.
Among the Five Emperors, the Dragon Emperor was a powerful figure of the Totem Clan.
This lofty Demon Clan Monarch naturally regarded the Five Emperors Treasure Vault as the Demon Clan’s inheritance.
The Green Emperor Seal naturally belonged to the Demon Clan.
"Warriors of the Totem Clan, who is willing to go to the Wind Howling Forest to seize the Green Emperor Seal!"
The Totem Clan’s Monarch raised a beast bone long sword, his roar loud enough to shake the heavens.
"Warriors of the Totem Clan, fear nothing!"
Two robust young men slowly emerged from the crowd. They were talents of the Demon Clan with King Beast Bloodlines, barely a thousand years old, yet already comparable to high-level Emperors in strength. (PS: With the long lifespan of the Demon Clan, a thousand years is still quite young.)
"Excellent!"
The Totem Master regarded the two below the stage, the left being a man in a black robe, the Young Master of the Tyrant Mad Lion Clan, Lion Sky Mad.
The right was a man with a bare upper body, holding a nine-ringed broadsword, and a hook-nosed man, the Young Master of the Blood Wing Demon Eagle Clan, Yiu Qianshan.
These two were elites among the Totem Clan, possessing high King Beast bloodlines, and unless they unleashed their Demon Essence, they were almost indistinguishable from humans in appearance.
"Very well, once at the Wind Howling Forest, remain vigilant and ensure the Green Emperor Seal is brought back to our Totem Clan!"
"Yes!"
Lion Sky Mad and Yiu Qianshan simultaneously let out a vigorous roar.
...
Meanwhile, the Five Thunders Sacred Land and Yunluo Sacred Land also each sent top-tier experts below Peak Emperor Level to the Wind Howling Forest.
Factions from various first-class sects and even many Loose Cultivators naturally also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
After all, fortune could fall upon anyone.
