389: Conflict before inheritance!

He didn't finish, but invisibly, the pressure emanating from his body suddenly increased.

The air around him seemed to solidify.

As soon as these words were uttered, the tense atmosphere outside the stone gate was instantly ignited! Various Cultivators and factions began to speak out.

"What?! Someone actually went in early? And we have to wait outside for seven days?"

"How can we compete now? After seven days, perhaps that Cultivator will have already obtained the Saint Lord Inheritance!"

"Unfair, unfair! Start over, start over!!!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Countless gazes, like sharp arrows, instantly focused on Xuan Tianhong and the Six Vein Alliance members behind him!

Doubt, anger, greed, killing intent... various negative emotions intertwined into an invisible net, tightly trapping them!

The air seemed to solidify, and the heavy pressure made some lower-cultivation Disciples turn pale, cold sweat streaming down.

Seeing this situation, Xuan Tianhong's face also turned ashen, having already cursed Su Lin Yun a thousand times in his heart, and even more so, hating Su Hongyi of the Qingming Pulse for his incompetence!

Damn it, to gather the power of an entire Pulse and still not be able to kill a single Su Lin Yun, why is this?!

A bunch of good-for-nothings!!!

The other four Sect Masters behind him also looked tense, their spiritual Qi circulating wildly, preparing to deal with any conflict that might erupt at any moment. They knew that if the Six Vein Alliance handled this poorly, what awaited them would be utter destruction!

The Four Great Factions joining forces, plus the surrounding smaller factions eyeing them covetously, were already enough to completely tear apart their Six Vein Alliance!

After everyone learned that Su Lin Yun had already entered the Legacy ahead of time, no one now wanted the Six Veins Alliance members to enter.

No one currently knows what the Legacy looks like inside.

If Su Lin Yun were to transmit all information to the Six Vein Alliance members, their advantage would be infinitely great!

This was something they absolutely would not allow.

"Everyone!"

Xuan Tianhong forcefully suppressed the surging Qi and blood, injecting spiritual Qi into his voice, trying to overpower the clamor in the field:

"Please listen to me! That Su Lin Yun is absolutely not a member of my Six Vein Alliance! On the contrary, she and my Six Vein Alliance have... an irreconcilable blood feud!"

"Blood feud?"

The beautiful woman from Yaochi sneered, "Sect Master Xuan, if I remember correctly, she should be from the Chang Sheng Pulse, right? She belongs to the Saint Lord Seven Veins, just like you. You say she has an irreconcilable blood feud with you, are you treating us all as fools?"

A hint of struggle flashed in Xuan Tianhong's eyes, but seeing the sharp sword of the Chiyun Sword Sect leader almost unsheathed, he hardened his heart!

"Good! Since you all don't believe me, then I, Xuan, will make a Heavenly Dao oath today!"

Xuan Tianhong suddenly raised his right hand, forcing out a drop of crimson essence blood from his fingertip, his voice like thunder, resounding across the entire plain:

"Heavenly Dao above! I, Xuan Tianhong, swear in the name of the Celestial Pivot Vein Master! Su Lin Yun is a remnant of the Chang Sheng Pulse! Decades ago, her Pulse harbored malicious intent, attempting to subvert the Six Veins, and was jointly annihilated by my Six Vein Alliance, with all its members executed!

Su Lin Yun fortunately escaped and has an irreconcilable blood feud with my Six Vein Alliance! Her entry into the Legacy was absolutely not arranged by my Alliance; it was truly an accident! If there is half a falsehood in these words, may I, Xuan Tianhong, be annihilated in body and spirit, may the Tian Shu Pulse Dao lineage be severed, and may I never be reincarnated forever!"

Boom—!

As Xuan Tianhong's last word fell, a dull rumble seemed to echo from the Nine Heavens!

A visible, faint golden chain phantom, containing the rules of heaven and earth, instantly plunged into Xuan Tianhong's glabella! The Heavenly Dao oath was established!

The entire plain instantly fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone was stunned by Xuan Tianhong's ruthless oath!

A Heavenly Dao oath is no joking matter! Especially a venomous oath that involves the severance of a Dao lineage; once violated, the entire Dao lineage might be destroyed because of it.

The Sword Intent condensed by the old man from the Chiyun Sword Sect slightly paused, and a hint of surprise flashed in his sharp eyes.

The playful smile on the middle-aged man's face from Xiaoyao Sect solidified, and his eyes became solemn.

The light of the old man's staff from Wen Yuan Temple flickered, and his eyes also flickered, but he finally nodded imperceptibly.

The beautiful woman from Yaochi's cold face also softened a bit, but the vigilance in her eyes did not dissipate.

This person is so ruthless; as a descendant of the Saint Lord, how could he do such a thing? It's a bit too incredible.

At the same time, they also gained a new understanding of Xuan Tianhong; this person is absolutely a mercenary individual!

Xuan Tianhong looked at the reactions of the people around him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "It seems they won't make a move against us ahead of time!"

In fact, the main reason why the crowd didn't act was not entirely due to Xuan Tianhong's Heavenly Dao oath.

It was actually because, although the Four Great Factions were powerful, they were not monolithic. No one wanted to engage in a mutually destructive battle with the Six Vein Alliance before the Legacy opened; that would only allow other factions to reap the benefits!

Sure enough, after a brief silence, the old man from the Chiyun Sword Sect snorted coldly and slowly withdrew the Sword Intent locked onto Xuan Tianhong:

"Hmph, Xuan Tianhong, since that's the case, why didn't you eliminate that Su Lin Yun beforehand? If that Su Lin Yun truly obtains the Legacy and comes out, your Six Vein Alliance will be the first to bear the brunt!"

"Do you think I didn't want to?! All the Cultivators of my entire Qingming Pulse were dispatched, and as a result, they were all slain by her!"

Xuan Tianhong gritted his teeth and said:

"This damned remnant of Chang Sheng, everyone has the right to punish her! If she comes out, my Six Vein Alliance will be the first to act and grind her to dust!"

Qing Lian Shan said coldly:

"Remember what you said! Before the Legacy opens, I hope your Six Veins members will behave themselves and not cause any more trouble! Otherwise, don't blame us!"

She no longer mentioned the matter of expulsion, which was an implicit acknowledgment that the Six Vein Alliance could temporarily remain here.

A world-shaking battle that was almost about to ignite the ruins was temporarily suppressed by Xuan Tianhong's ruthless Heavenly Dao oath.

However, the atmosphere on the plain did not ease much; instead, it became even more oppressive.

The rift between the Four Great Factions and the Six Vein Alliance deepened, and their mutually wary gazes were almost tangible.

Other small and medium-sized factions also made their own calculations, with undercurrents surging.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the moment the Seal dissipated after seven days, for that was the true beginning of the bloody struggle!

Just at this seemingly calm but turbulent stalemate, high above the stone gate, almost unnoticed in the clouds, a figure silently emerged.

It was Lu Hao.

Behind him were Stubborn Ox and Lu Xiaolong.

He stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking down at the various factions gathered like ants below, watching the tense but forcibly restrained standoff.

He watched Xuan Tianhong's discomfiture and ruthlessness when he made his venomous oath, his eyes showing no ripple, as if watching a farce unrelated to himself.
