279: Chapter 279: The Gods Return to the Ruins of the Old Heavenly Court!

The Great Demon Fei Fei looked at the Nascent Soul Stage Yao Sword Cultivator who had just flown out of Tuoyue Mountain and explained to Yang Simu:

"This person is named Hui Ting, from the Red Leaf Sword Sect. He was once a Jade Purity Realm Sword Cultivator. His Natal Flying Sword is named 'Rouge'. He has fallen in realm twice on the battlefield of the Great Wall of Sword Qi."

Hearing this, Yang Simu's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately said coldly: "I remember you. On the battlefield, you were most fond of launching sneak attacks on female Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, using that to Cultivate some kind of sword technique Divine Ability."

"You deserve to die anyway. What right do you have to trade your life for another's?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous spear appeared in Yang Simu's hand and flew out in an instant.

The Nascent Soul Stage Yao Sword Cultivator named Hui Ting instantly blocked the path in front of another Immortal Realm Yao Cultivator who was kneeling in mid-air.

In an instant, that thunderous spear, engraved with purple lightning patterns, pierced through Sword Cultivator Hui Ting's chest.

Immediately after, the spear's speed barely faltered as it pierced through the head of the Immortal Realm Yao behind him, like skewering candied haws.

Yang Simu's decisive and ruthless strike caused the hearts of the remaining Wilderness Yao Clan to skip a beat in shock.

In fact, some Yao Cultivators felt lucky that they had not participated in the siege of the Great Wall of Sword Qi before this.

If it weren't for the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain wanting to launch a general offensive from the Wilderness World against the Great Wall of Sword Qi this time, many Upper Five Realms Yao would usually be unwilling to leave their own territories.

Wasn't being a local tyrant in the mortal world better than risking one's life at the Great Wall of Sword Qi?

However, no Wilderness Yao dared to disobey the previous orders of the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain.

But now that The Great Ancestor of the Barbarian Wilderness was dead, the man with the sword on his back standing at the bow of the ship was the new Co-Lord of the Wilderness!

"Greetings, Co-Lord of the Wilderness!"

The Great Demon Fei Fei's delicate body trembled slightly as she was the first to perform a grand kowtow to Yang Simu.

Soon, the Great Demon The Mastermind and Guan Xiang also reluctantly knelt on one knee in mid-air.

Seeing this scene, the Upper Five Realms Yao Cultivators, including Li Zhen, no longer hesitated and all knelt down toward Yang Simu.

In the next second, within Tuoyue Mountain below, those Yao Cultivators who were lucky enough to survive also knelt on the ground trembling and shouted loudly, "Greetings, Co-Lord of the Wilderness."

The Great Ancestor of the Barbarian Wilderness had used his own life to trade for the survival of the tens of thousands of Yao Cultivators on Tuoyue Mountain and the future of the Wilderness World.

They understood very well that they had no other choice.

If they didn't bow their heads, they would die!

Surrounding the entire Tuoyue Mountain, the three golden-bodied high-ranking ancient deities—Celestial Lord Qingtong, The Executioner, and The Resonator—also immediately knelt on one knee toward Yang Simu, causing the earth to rumble.

The Disruptor's expression was conflicted for a moment, but when he looked up and saw the ruins of the Old Heavenly Court wedged between the two Wilderness moons, he also decisively knelt on one knee.

The Dreamer still maintained her human form, floating onto the talisman token and kneeling to salute Yang Simu.

She couldn't help but take a few more looks at Ruan Xiu and Li Liu beside Yang Simu, feeling extremely surprised in her heart.

These two were actually standing beside Yang Simu at the same time.

One must know that ten thousand years ago, the Fire God and the Water God had always disliked each other and had never lived in harmony.

This matter had always been something the deities of the Ancient Heavenly Court talked about with great interest.

However, hindered by the identities of these two women, they didn't dare to be too unscrupulous and could only talk secretly in private.

Many ancient deities speculated that the Water God and the Fire God viewed each other as such great enemies because of the Co-Lord of the Wilderness.

That battle between the Water God and the Fire God ten thousand years ago was called the "Conflict of Water and Fire" by later generations; it affected the entire Ancient Heavenly Court and even caused a great loss in the Heavenly Court's strength.

This was also one of the key reasons why the mortal Sword Cultivators were able to take the opportunity to attack the Heavenly Court.

The ancient and profound language of the ancient deities echoed continuously in the high sky.

Yang Simu pondered for a moment and then secretly sent a voice transmission to the five ancient deities.

In the next moment, these five high-ranking deities rose into the air at the same time and flew toward the ruins of the Old Heavenly Court between the two Wilderness moons.

Following that, the deity of the Department of Thunder - Investigative Division, hidden within the thunderous spear, also flew out from the spear and followed closely behind the high-ranking deities.

Without the support of their divine positions, they were far inferior to ten thousand years ago in terms of both strength and recovery ability.

Their action this time would probably take a long time to recover to their Peak.

This was the main reason why Yang Simu had previously said he would not easily use these ancient deities.

And within the ruins of the Old Heavenly Court, their recovery speed would undoubtedly be much faster than staying in the mortal world.

The young Daoist Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Yang Simu, you let these six ancient deities return to the ruins of the Old Heavenly Court; aren't you afraid they will never return?"

Yang Simu looked indifferent. "My ability to control them was a fluke in the first place. If they leave, they leave."

The Third Head of the White Jade Capital looked at Yang Simu with a smile, his eyes slightly filled with doubt.

Just then, the monk Monk Cihai, who had been silent until now, spoke up:

"Amitabha. On the northern battlefield, too many living beings have died. This poor monk must go there first to transcend the souls of the deceased."

"One month from now, when Benefactor Yang Simu officially ascends to the position of Co-Lord of the Wilderness, this poor monk is willing to come and observe the ceremony."

Yang Simu clasped his hands and saluted this Third Disciple of the Buddha: "I thank Senior in advance."

He understood that Monk Monk Cihai's willingness to come to Tuoyue Mountain to observe the ceremony a month later also represented the Lotus Buddhist Kingdom's recognition of his identity as the new Co-Lord of the Wilderness.

In the next moment, the burly Monk Monk Cihai's skin was covered with a layer of brilliant golden light, and he disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Lu Chen also smiled and said, "Yang Simu, we two are old acquaintances as well. I will definitely come to Tuoyue Mountain to observe the ceremony in a month."

Yang Simu glanced at the young Daoist, thinking to himself that as long as you people from White Jade Capital don't come to cause trouble, it'll be fine.

However, since Lu Chen, the Third Head of the White Jade Capital, was coming to observe the ceremony, Yang Simu naturally wouldn't refuse.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Lu Chen said that since he had finally come to the Wilderness World, he wanted to go for a stroll.

Yang Simu knew very well that a person like Lu Chen certainly had his own purpose for doing anything.

Lu Chen was definitely not just looking at the scenery of the Wilderness World; he surely had other designs.

However, the current Yang Simu could not stop him either.

After a while, Lu Chen also disappeared, traveling far into the Wilderness.

Yang Simu looked at the Yao Cultivators who had not yet stood up and told them to stand up first.

"Fei Fei, you will lead the people to take charge of the orders I just gave and notify all Wilderness Cultivators."

"If you handle this matter well, seventy percent of the water providence in the Wilderness World can be handed over to you in the future," he said in a deep voice.

"Fei Fei accepts the order! I will certainly handle this matter well!"

The Great Demon Fei Fei looked excited, her crimson beautiful eyes lighting up.

Yang Simu then looked at another Ascension Realm Great Demon. "Guan Xiang, I want you to kill the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery, who has already fallen in realm!"

"This shouldn't be a difficult task for you, right?"

"Of course, you can also try to run away together," he said with a half-smile.

"I wouldn't dare!" the Great Demon Guan Xiang hurriedly said respectfully.

This Ascension Realm Great Demon actually couldn't help but have fine beads of sweat break out on his forehead when facing Yang Simu.
