411: Persecution in the Holy Land

According to ancient records, the Bronze Ancient Ship has an extremely mysterious origin, making it a unique Life Forbidden Zone.

Each time it appears, it doesn't affect anything, quickly vanishing like a ghost ship.

However, the routes it traverses naturally form a mist.

This mist dissipates in a short time, but even a Great Saint entering it within that brief period would lose their way.

However, for everyone, verifying its authenticity is not important.

Besides this, there are several other pieces of news whose authenticity is hard to discern.

A Great Saint from the Yin Yang Taoist Sect is about to pass away.

Under the current circumstances, with the Golden Crow Great Emperor's Dao suspended above, the shock this brings to the entire Universe is extremely strong.

Countless people decide to attend the ceremony, determining their future interactions with the Yin Yang Taoist Sect.

Similar events happen from time to time.

Some are true, some are false, and most people just laugh them off.

Soon, another 100 years passed.

In the Yaochi Holy Land.

A Saint's lifespan came to an end.

Countless people wept bitterly.

Even the West Queen Mother showed a sorrowful expression.

If not for this ancient Saint, who, during the Dark Turmoil, wielded the Supreme Emperor Weapon to protect the Yaochi Holy Land, the Holy Land's Legacy would have been severed.

However, he also suffered severe injuries, and after several hundred years, his injuries have not healed. Today, he is at the end of his Qi and has no way to survive.

But now is the era of development after the Dark Turmoil.

If this ancient Saint departs, and the Yaochi Holy Land has no Saint overseeing it, it will also be coveted by others.

The only solution now is to seek outside help.

The West Queen Mother thought of Yao Yue, but ultimately shook her head.

Since the Dark Turmoil, she, along with the Wang Family Patriarch, disappeared.

Even today, she has not reappeared in The Mortal World.

Some extraordinary individuals speculate that the Wang Family Patriarch might have occupied a Life Forbidden Zone, leading the entire Wang Family into it.

What is now the Endless Sea is merely a branch of their Family.

Most people agree with this view.

Of course, there are still some who hold opposing opinions, but they cannot provide an answer as to where the once magnificent Great Accomplishment Holy Body ultimately went.

Now, even if the West Queen Mother wanted to ask for help from that person to resolve all past Karma, she would find no one to turn to.

But at this moment, a message suddenly shot in from outside the mountain gate.

"Holy Land Master, outside the gate, Ling Tian, Qing Feng, and Wuxu, the three Holy Land Masters, have arrived together."

Upon hearing this, the West Queen Mother's vision went black.

How could she not understand the intentions of these three coming together at this time?

It was nothing more than them thinking that the Holy Land's only ancient Saint was about to fall, and she herself was currently only at the Peak of a Half-Saint, one step away from entering the Saint realm.

In other words, the West Queen Mother at this time was not qualified to protect the entire Yaochi Holy Land.

How could a Holy Land without a Saint still be called a Holy Land?

Its mineral resources would naturally be coveted by others.

Especially Jade Pool Ancient City near the Primordial Ancient Mine.

For the entire Yaochi Holy Land, that was a daily goldmine, and this Holy Land also possessed many secret techniques for finding sources. It would be foolish to think it wouldn't attract attention.

After a moment of thought.

The West Queen Mother looked at the ancient Saint, who was barely breathing on the bed, gritted her teeth, and then said.

"Invite them to the main hall. I will be there shortly."

"Yes!"

As her words fell, the messenger went down to inform them.

The West Queen Mother exchanged a few more simple words with the ancient Saint before arriving at the main hall.

"Rare guests! I didn't expect the three of you to come together today. What business do you wish to discuss?"

A smile appeared on the West Queen Mother's face.

Qing Feng Holy Land Master chuckled upon hearing this.

"West Queen Mother, why play coy? The three of us are here because we feel that the Yaochi Holy Land is currently in peril, and we've decided to lend you a hand."

Such undisguised words immediately made the West Queen Mother's face turn cold.

"Oh? How do you plan to help?"

"Naturally, we will help you guard seventy percent of your mines and most of your medicinal fields."

Ling Tian Holy Land Master also spoke at this moment.

Immediately, the West Queen Mother's eyes filled with anger.

"Sirs, are you so impatient? Although our Old Ancestor is not far from passing away, do not forget that the Wang Family Clan Mother still has ties with us."

As these words were spoken, the three first showed hesitation in their eyes, then sneered.

"Ridiculous! Don't you see whose era it is now?"

"With the Golden Crow Great Emperor suspended above, even a Great Accomplishment Holy Body, who hasn't appeared for several hundred years, is clearly afraid of the Great Emperor's prestige. If he truly dares to emerge, he will surely face the Great Emperor's reckoning."

"As for what you call the Clan Mother, that is even more utterly ridiculous."

"Although I don't know much about the past, I still remember that it was you who expelled her from the Holy Land. Now you presumptuously try to cling to a relationship. Do you think your disciple will still remember old affections?"

Ling Tian Holy Land Master sneered, then continued.

"Even if there were, what then? You probably can't even find where they are. Their only destination is nothing more than the Endless Holy Land, but even they might not have enough strength to stop us."

Upon hearing this, the West Queen Mother's expression became extremely ugly.

But before she could speak, Wuxu Holy Land Master, who had been silent, also followed up.

"West Queen Mother, you don't need to trouble yourself further. We intended to discuss this with you, but since these two have already laid out the matter, I won't continue to hide it from you."

"In this matter, the three of us are merely assisting. The true claimant is someone else. Even if the Endless Holy Land were to intervene, it wouldn't be enough, unless they could contact the disappeared Wang Family Patriarch and the elites of his Clan."

As these words were spoken, the West Queen Mother immediately fell silent.

The other party was right.

They had gone six or seven hundred years without any contact with Yao Yue.

Not to mention that she herself had personally driven Yao Yue away.

Even if she had left on her own accord, over 600 years of time was enough for some things to change.

But to agree just like that, she found it somewhat unacceptable.

Was the Legacy of the Yaochi Holy Land, spanning hundreds of thousands of years, to be severed in her hands?

Ceding five cities today, ten cities tomorrow—this was a slow death.

The other party was testing the Yaochi Holy Land's bottom line step by step. Once they conceded, many people would pounce on the Holy Land like rabid dogs, tearing at it.

It would only hasten the demise of the Yaochi Holy Land.

"West Queen Mother, please give your answer as soon as possible. We can wait, but the people behind us cannot."

Ling Tian Holy Land Master smiled.

Then he stood up and left.

The other two followed him, and in the blink of an eye, only the West Queen Mother remained in the main hall.

She sat on the throne, pondering for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud.

If she had not considered the so-called Holy Land Legacy back then, and had protected Yao Yue to give birth to her child, would everything have been different?

After all, Wang Dong had already begun to show his talent at that time.

Although the risk was extremely high, there was a possibility of taking a gamble.

The West Queen Mother regretted it.

But it was too late.

She turned and left, returning to the rear hall, where she saw the ancient Saint again.
