927: Demon Slayer Order

On the main Peak of the Four Symbols Holy Land, White Tiger True Lord's expression was extremely grave.

If it weren't for the Grand Elder's rage being too terrifying, he would have rushed up to knock him out.

If the Formation Eye of the Four Symbols Heaven Evolution Formation were damaged, especially if the main Peak was destroyed, all the nodes of the entire Great Formation would have to be rearranged.

As the only Advanced Formation Master in the Four Symbols Holy Land, White Tiger True Lord felt his liver tremble just thinking about the project.

Rearranging the earth veins and setting up the nodes would not only require a huge investment of precious Materials, but the time spent alone would be measured in years.

During this period, the Four Symbols Holy Land would be virtually undefended.

"Holy Lord, please hurry and persuade the Grand Elder. Anger solves nothing. We should calmly sit down and discuss things. That's the best way to solve problems."

Daring not to stop the Grand Elder, White Tiger True Lord could only put the pressure on Zhao Tianxiong.

However, upon hearing White Tiger True Lord's words, Zhao Tianxiong sighed helplessly.

He wanted to go, but the problem was he didn't dare!

Otherwise, why would he be standing halfway up the main Peak?

After the Grand Elder's Divided Soul was slain by Wang Chen in Wanshou City, he immediately vomited three liters of blood in a fit of rage, unleashing his full power without restraint.

Zhao Tianxiong, a Ninth-Rank Early Stage cultivator, didn't even have time to react and was directly blown away by the violent Origin Qi fluctuations.

If it weren't for the main Peak's special status, with no Disciples on duty or patrol there on normal days, his noble status as Holy Lord would have been utterly disgraced.

"Old Bai, if you want to go, you go. I'm not going, anyway."

Zhao Tianxiong looked up at the sky, his gaze extremely focused, as if the sky contained the ultimate Dao.

"No..."

Hearing Zhao Tianxiong's words, White Tiger True Lord became a little anxious, and at the same time, he noticed something was amiss.

"What exactly happened? The Grand Elder was fine the last time he came out of seclusion. It's only been a little over a month, so why has his temperament suddenly changed today?"

As White Tiger True Lord was speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He glanced at the Grand Elder above who was venting his anger, then quietly transmitted a question to Zhao Tianxiong:

"Did something happen to Xuanwu in Wanshou City?"

White Tiger True Lord was not foolish, or rather, all those who could cultivate to Ninth Rank were intelligent individuals.

Noticing Zhao Tianxiong's subtle attitude, White Tiger True Lord immediately thought that Mystic Tortoise True Lord's team might have encountered an accident on their trip to Wanshou City.

After all, this was the Four Symbols Holy Land's only external operation during this period.

"That's right!"

Zhao Tianxiong secretly glanced at the Peak, then subtly nodded, and at the same time, transmitted an explanation of the Wanshou City incident to White Tiger True Lord.

"What? How is that possible?!"

White Tiger True Lord's body trembled after hearing it, his eyes wide and his pupils somewhat unfocused.

What he heard from Zhao Tianxiong was too shocking!

Mystic Tortoise True Lord and all the accompanying inner and outer Elders who went to Wanshou City to deal with Wang Chen were completely annihilated!

Even a Divided Soul of the Grand Elder personally made a move, but was still slain by that Wang Chen in Wanshou City.

"No, isn't this Wang Chen a young man not yet thirty years old? His strength reaching Ninth Rank is already astonishing enough, how could he be a match for a Divided Soul of the Grand Elder?"

White Tiger True Lord asked in horror, his hands trembling behind his back as he spoke.

This news was simply too sensational!

A young man not yet thirty years old could directly slay a Divided Soul of a Ninth-Rank Late Stage Great True Lord.

White Tiger True Lord felt that his nearly two hundred years of life had been lived in vain!

"I can't figure it out either, but that's the truth!"

"Wang Chen's strength is unrivaled below the Great True Lord, and he will definitely be a grave threat to our Holy Land in the future."

Zhao Tianxiong spoke in a low voice, his expression carrying a hint of horror.

With Wang Chen's strength, only the Grand Elder himself could firmly suppress him in the entire Four Symbols Holy Land. The rest, whether it was him or the three Zhenjun, Azure Dragon, Baihu, and Vermilion Bird, would only face death if they encountered him.

Zhao Tianxiong was now considering whether to seal the mountain gate for a period of time and recall all the Holy Land Disciples outside.

After all, facing such an opponent, if the other party played dirty and specifically targeted these "ordinary people," no one could stop him.

Moreover...

"Wang Chen isn't the most troublesome. With the Grand Elder here, he definitely wouldn't dare to come to our Holy Land mountain gate."

Zhao Tianxiong sighed and said to White Tiger True Lord:

"The most troublesome thing now is that Xuanwu, that bastard, colluded with Devil Heads from the Six Desires Demonic Sect in Wanshou City, and teamed up with Ear True Lord and Eye True Lord of that Six Desires Demonic Sect to deal with Wang Chen."

"It wouldn't matter if that bastard had done it covertly and completed the mission, but he exposed it in broad daylight!"

"It's estimated that in two days, the entire Netherworld will be rampant with rumors of our Four Symbols Holy Land colluding with the Six Desires Demonic Sect, causing our prestige to plummet."

"This, this, this..."

White Tiger True Lord was stunned. Earlier, when he heard about Wang Chen, he was so scared his hands trembled. Now, he was trembling all over, enraged by Mystic Tortoise True Lord's outrageous actions.

The Four Symbols Holy Land's strength was already at the bottom among the Eight Great Sacred Grounds. The reason it hadn't been kicked out of the ranks of the Eight Great Sacred Grounds was only secondarily due to Supreme Elder Hua Teng Great True Lord's formidable strength.

The most important reason was that the Four Symbols Holy Land's Dao lineage was extremely righteous. The Great Emperor Jin Sheng, who originated from the Four Symbols Holy Land a thousand years ago, died for the sake of the myriad living beings of the Netherworld.

When the cross-realm expedition began back then, it wasn't just the current Dead Spirit Race that coveted the Netherworld. It was Great Emperor Jin Sheng who guarded outside the Netherworld's world barrier breach and fought a bloody battle to the death against numerous Void Realm monsters, only then gaining the opportunity to repair the world barrier breach.

It was precisely because of this that the Four Symbols Holy Land was the only one among the Eight Great Sacred Grounds of the Netherworld that did not possess an Emperor Weapon as its foundational heritage.

For a thousand years, in order to recover its Origin Qi, the Four Symbols Holy Land had always acted domineeringly and arrogantly, sometimes even encroaching upon the interests of other Holy Lands, but the other seven Holy Lands mostly turned a blind eye to this.

Even the Xuantian Holy Land, which had always been at odds with the Four Symbols Holy Land, never took advantage of the Four Symbols Holy Land's weakness to bully it. At most, there were minor frictions among the younger generation in secret.

But...

Colluding with the Demonic Path Devil Heads of the Six Desires Demonic Sect—once this charge against the Four Symbols Holy Land was confirmed, it would lose its moral high ground and be attacked by all sides.

Since the great war with the Dead Spirit Race a thousand years ago, too much Origin Qi had been expended, and the Netherworld's population was less than one-tenth of its Peak. All forces had always had zero tolerance for the Demonic Path, and the Demon Extermination Order, a regulation proposed a thousand years ago, had not been abolished even now.

After all, the cultivation process of these Demonic Path Devil Heads was extremely bloody, with over ninety percent of them using living people for cultivation.

"That bastard!"

White Tiger True Lord's expression was twisted, and he trembled all over with rage. The mess that Xuanwu, that bastard, had created would bring the disaster of Dao lineage extinction to the Four Symbols Holy Land.

"No, we must draw a clear line with that bastard Xuanwu!"
