Chapter 142: The Ancient Forbidden Ground Appears, Terrifying Zhang Bairen
As Su Tian gave his orders, the two hundred-person team quickly sprang into action.
The Purple House Disciples, skilled in physical combat, were responsible for blocking most of the array formation attacks.
The Inner Sect disciples with higher cultivation levels faced off against the elders of Mad Dragon Fortress, preventing these elders from slaughtering the Purple House outer disciples and dispersing their formation.
As for other disciples with specialized skills, they hid behind everyone else and unleashed their abilities frantically.
For example, using poison, commanding spirit beasts, talismans, illusions…
With a deep foundation, not only could many prodigies be cultivated, but also many disciples specializing in other cultivation paths.
For instance, refining, nurturing spirit beasts…
These disciples might not have high cultivation, but they had traveled far on a specific path.
Once large-scale warfare began, they might play unexpected roles.
…
Boundary Stele of the Yao Guang Holy Land.
“Hahaha!”
“I knew you would be fine. It’s been months since we last met, and you’ve already become the Yao Guang Saint. Truly something to celebrate!”
Chen Changsheng warmly greeted Fu Yao.
The former Yao Guang Saint Son had now become the Yao Guang Saint.
Looking at “Chen Changsheng” before her, Fu Yao’s eyes were filled with admiration.
“Is this your cultivation body system?”
“Indeed extraordinary.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Oh, it’s nothing much. I’m just destined to be a laborer.”
“Meeting Brother Fu Yao again today, why don’t we sit down and drink together?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s invitation, Fu Yao remained unmoved from afar.
Because at this moment, Chen Changsheng was holding a massive bone in his right hand, with a ferocious Big Fat Caterpillar resting on his shoulder.
His aura had reached its peak; if she dared to take one step forward, he would immediately strike with lethal force.
“You attacking Mad Dragon Fortress, I won’t stop you, but why are your troop deployments targeting Gale Inn?”
“Gale Inn is a force supported by the Yao Guang Holy Land; you can’t be unaware of that.”
Hearing Fu Yao’s question, Chen Changsheng immediately shook his head in denial.
“Slander! This is blatant slander!”
“I swear on heaven, I never intended to target Gale Inn.”
“If what I say is false, may the young master of Mad Dragon Fortress Wan Tong never d*e!”
Fu Yao: “…”
You’re still the same.
In response to Chen Changsheng’s speechless behavior, Fu Yao smiled slightly and said, “If you want Gale Inn, take it.”
“This round is yours. Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”
Hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed across Chen Changsheng’s eyes.
“What do you mean by that?”
“It means simply, he’s praising you!”
Before the words had even finished, a figure came rushing over from afar.
Feeling the aura of this person, Chen Changsheng instinctively took two steps back.
Because this person had the aura of the Ancient Forbidden Ground.
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s wary expression, the man smiled and said, “No need to be so tense. If I wanted to k*ll you, you wouldn’t be alive right now.”
“At first, someone believed you were the one who bears the Heavenly Mandate, so they invested more in you.”
“Unfortunately, a slight miscalculation led to some regrettable outcomes.”
Hearing the man’s words, Chen Changsheng became even more certain about this person’s identity.
“Tsk tsk!”
“In times of chaos, all sorts of strange beings emerge.”
“Since you’ve shown yourself, isn’t it inappropriate not to reveal your identity?”
“I believe you should already guess who I am.”
“My name is Zhang Bairen, from the Ancient Forbidden Ground you mentioned.”
“At the time, I was the senior disciple of the Hundred Defeats Immortal Lord, so you should call me Senior Brother.”
Upon hearing this, the corners of Chen Changsheng’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
Because he seemed to have learned something significant.
“Hehehe!”
“It must be a case of flooding the Dragon King’s temple by mistake. Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings!”
While Chen Changsheng spoke of misunderstandings, his feet slowly retreated.
Fighting against a Fu Yao was already quite strenuous, and now he had to face an intimidating Zhang Bairen.
If he didn’t run in such a situation, he would only be beaten up badly.
Facing Chen Changsheng’s small movements, Zhang Bairen smiled slightly.
“Don’t think about escaping. If your true self were here, we would certainly block you.”
“But with just a clone of you, it’s no problem for us to stop you.”
Seeing that he truly had no chance of escape, Chen Changsheng decided to give up.
“If I can’t escape, then I can’t escape. What do you want? Stop beating around the bush.”
“If you want this territory, I will withdraw my troops.”
“I’m not interested in this territory, nor do I care about it. Take it if you want.”
“Even if it’s just this small territory, even the Heavenly Mandate, we can give it up.”
“Although the Heavenly Mandate is already predetermined, if the Ancient Forbidden Ground wants to change certain things, it’s still possible.”
“Change?” Chen Changsheng frowned and said, “What do you mean by that? Can the Heavenly Mandate be changed after bearing it?”
“There are no absolutes in this world; it depends on whether one can afford the price.”
“Although the Heavenly Mandate is invincible, there are ways to k*ll it.”
Facing Zhang Bairen’s n*ked threat, Chen Changsheng felt the pressure for the first time.
Although he gained immortality with the help of tradition, when facing those ancient existences, his accumulation was still too little.
“You’ve threatened me several times already. I admit your threats scare me.”
“So, can you now tell me your demands?”
Hearing this, Zhang Bairen calmly said, “The Ancient Forbidden Ground’s demand is simple: After the Heavenly Mandate bears the Heavenly Mandate, it needs to visit the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
“Isn’t it just a visit? You probably want the Heavenly Mandate to abandon targeting the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
“As far as I know, the Heavenly Mandate always visits the Forbidden Ground before bearing the Heavenly Mandate.”
“I believe these Heavenly Mandates aren’t just chatting with you.”
“There’s nothing wrong with this idea, so are you willing to help with this?”
Looking at Zhang Bairen’s calm gaze, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment.
“What can my Heavenly Mandate and I get out of this?”
“The support of the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
“After the Heavenly Mandate shatters and reassembles, this Heavenly Mandate’s power is unprecedentedly strong.”
“To truly bear the Heavenly Mandate is not a simple matter; many existences will intervene.”
“The Ancient Forbidden Ground can help you. As a reward, the Heavenly Mandate needs to acknowledge this debt of gratitude.”
“During the time it bears the Heavenly Mandate, it cannot attack the Ancient Forbidden Ground.”
After listening, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and said, “Very tempting conditions.”
“Now I suddenly feel we can sit down and have a good talk.”
“Gladly!”
As he spoke, Zhang Bairen waved his right hand, and a jade table appeared in front of Chen Changsheng.
