975: Deep in the desert, a shattered land

The central region is actually a vast, crimson Great Desert.

The depths of the Great Desert are filled with chaotic space, riddled with holes, and dangerously unpredictable, which is why it is called the Shattered Land.

Nowadays, outsiders have entered the Great Desert, and the Six Clans are also walking within it, fighting incessantly.

The Six Clans were originally searching for the woman who obtained the demon saint inner elixir, but they did not have much success.

However, they received the latest news that an outsider named Xie Weilou had obtained that demon saint inner elixir.

Someone even gave the Six Clans a portrait of Xie Weilou.

The Six Clans are currently holding Xie Weilou's portrait, searching with all their might.

The next day.

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang arrived in the Great Desert and stood upon a cliff.

Before them were dense sand dunes and rocky mountains, appearing reddish-yellow and shrouded in faint mist.

Lin Qinghuang held the map, looked ahead, and mused, "A hundred miles ahead is the depths of the Great Desert; it should be the most dangerous place in this region."

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "Judging from the memories of those two, the true danger is not the Shattered Land, but the deeper layers of the Shattered Land, which is also the area where the Sacred Tomb is located."

Without a sacred tomb token, it is difficult to enter the deeper layers of the Shattered Land.

The people of the Seven Clans can enter that deeper layer with the sacred tomb token.

But after entering, they are blocked by a mysterious force, making it difficult to approach the area where the Sacred Tomb is located.

For many years, the experts of the Seven Clans have tried countless methods, but they have been unable to overcome that mysterious force.

It seems they are doomed to be tomb guardians for eternity, unable to lay a finger on the Great Sage Tomb.

"Let's go and see first."

Lin Qinghuang whispered.

The two continued to rush forward.

— — — — — —

An hour later.

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang arrived in the depths of the Great Desert, and what came into view was a fragmented, ravine-riddled region.

Not only was the ground like this, but the space itself was filled with dense cracks. Space was twisted and torn, containing cutting forces, and space storms were rampant, capable of shredding countless intruders.

People from various major powers were standing on the peak of a mountain, staring solemnly at a huge spatial rift in front of them.

In addition to the outsiders, some experts from the Six Clans were also gathered here.

"It's the person in the portrait..."

When Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang flew over, the people of the Six Clans instantly looked at Xie Weilou, their eyes flashing with burning intensity.

According to the information they possessed, the demon saint inner elixir was in this person's hands.

The leaders of the Six Clans were all Venerables. They exchanged glances, wanting to immediately make a move to capture Xie Weilou.

The Confucian Sage looked at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang and said with a smile, "You arrived just in time; we were just planning to enter."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, the Venerables of the Six Clans couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. They immediately suppressed the thoughts in their hearts, not daring to make a move against Xie Weilou.

They knew the strength of this old outsider; he was a genuine Half-Saint with heaven-defying means, capable of turning the people of their Six Clans into dust with a wave of his hand.

This fellow surnamed Xie actually knew this old man; they couldn't touch this guy surnamed Xie for the time being!

Xie Weilou bowed to the Confucian Sage and smiled faintly, "You arrived here quite quickly."

The Confucian Sage said, "We were sent to different regions. After investigating the situation, we learned about the Shattered Land, so we rushed over immediately."

Like Xie Weilou and the others, they had all been sent to different locations.

Fortunately, there were other clans in this world, and after some investigation, they had obtained important information.

Xie Weilou nodded, "So that's how it is!"

He looked at the people of the Six Clans again, "Looking at their expressions, they seem to really want to eat me alive."

In the crowd, Qin Chanyue smiled charmingly, "Fellow Daoist Xie, you snatched the demon saint inner elixir from my hands. This matter cannot be hidden. You said before that if there was any trouble, you, Xie Weilou, would take it all upon yourself."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "However, don't misunderstand; I didn't give your portrait to the others..."

She was naturally very unhappy that the demon saint inner elixir she had worked so hard to obtain had been snatched away by this dog of a man, Xie Weilou.

She told the Six Clans about the inner elixir being snatched by Xie Weilou because it was the truth; one had to return the courtesy.

As for Xie Weilou's portrait, it did not come from her.

Among those present, there were some who had grudges against Xie Weilou, such as the people from the Myriad Sword Holy Land...

Everyone present looked at Xie Weilou, their eyes thoughtful. A demon saint inner elixir had infinite value.

Especially for the Yao Race, it was even more so.

Xie Weilou understood Qin Chanyue's little scheme. He smiled amusedly and looked at the Venerables of the Six Clans, "The thing you want is on me. If you want to snatch it, This Xie welcomes you at any time."

Want to snatch his things? Who would be snatching from whom was not yet certain!

"..."

The Venerables of the Six Clans said nothing. This youth knew a Half-Saint, so they could not make a move for the time being.

However, once they entered the spatial rift ahead, they would have their chance.

Li Fusheng looked at the Venerable of the Ruan Yi Clan and said, "Venerable Ruan Yi, tell us about the situation in this region."

The Venerable of the Ruan Yi Clan hurriedly bowed to Li Fusheng and mused, "This Shattered Land is actually just an entrance. Inside is a vast starry sky, and the Great Sage Tomb is located within it. Besides that, there are countless ancient ruins inside, hiding many great Opportunities."

An old man from the Zhongzhou Academy said indifferently, "As tomb guardians, you have been guarding this world; I suppose all the good things inside have already been taken by you."

Venerable Ruan Yi immediately explained, "That is not the case! To enter, one must hold a sacred tomb token. Our Seven Clans have only managed to obtain a total of twenty-something sacred tomb tokens so far. Divided among each clan, that is only three or four each, so the number of people who can enter each time is limited. What is more critical is..."

When he reached this point, he couldn't help but fall silent.

The Venerable of the Golden Giant Tree Clan said, "We, the Seven Clans, are merely tomb guardians. There is a special power inside that repels us. We find it difficult to enter the deeper regions, so those great Opportunities and great fortunes are not for us!"

If outsiders had entered this world in the past, they would definitely have done their utmost to slaughter them.

But the outsiders who came this time were powerful, and they were simply no match for them.

After some thought, they intended to cooperate with these outsiders.

Perhaps this was a huge Opportunity for them; maybe they would be able to find a way to leave.

After listening to the two, Li Fusheng said in a deep voice, "Since that is the case, let's not waste time. Let's go straight in."

Venerable Ruan Yi said, "Let my Ruan Yi Clan lead the way."

"Fine!" Li Fusheng nodded. It was naturally best to have someone take the first step to guard against any unforeseen mishaps.
