Chapter 669: Taking the Blessed Land
In the valley of certain death, where the climate was both scalding and freezing, where a prickle from the deformed flora could lead even experts to death, the dwellers hunkered down in their burrows. How could they not when the winds raged under the flaps of a mythical phoenix, a golden dragon, dozens of Zus, and other flying beasts?
Even now, they felt the ground rumble under a disproportionate army of cultivators. The less intelligent ones froze, trembling, while the smarter ones exhaled. Was it the end of their valley?
They sighed from the shadows, watching the relentless flow of armored humans walk deeper into the valley core area, where none dared venture since the antique era. After all, legends of the palace’s former grandeur still lingered among the beasts... along with tales of the terrifying demon that laid it to waste. Would these greedy creatures set it free to plunder the palace? They didn’t know but picked a few commands.
"Keep the formation tight! Show the nineteen other sects that our Jin Long is the best!"
White-robed cultivators clenched their weapons and roared.
"Yes, Elder Wang Hao!" "That demon has no chance against us!" "For the sect!"
Shen Wu shook his head, his jaw tightening and veins throbbing on his bulging muscles. This assault was pure madness. There was no demon, only the boy who had saved him. "Please, escape, Adam. This assault... I’ve never seen that."
Xian Yunxu walked beside him, her face grim. "We’ve almost pooled the entire central region cultivators for this. Truly something we only see once in our lives." She sighed. "Make haste, Adam. Nothing can stop this march."
She pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a slow, frustrated sigh. Of course, she had warned him about their approach. But he just shrugged it off, saying he needed more time. More time for what? What was he trying to create with all the materials she collected for him last year, and was it worth risking his life?
