Chapter 1713: The Ancients Are Not Dead?
The woman from the Guang Han Palace had a flickering gaze, a faint smile still hanging on her face. "You hide your head and tail, and I don't even know who you are. How can I believe you possess the Rebirth Scripture, let alone discuss a trade?"
"As long as the Guang Han Palace agrees to the exchange in front of everyone in the ancient capital, I will reveal myself immediately." The ethereal, illusory voice sounded again, causing the beautiful woman in the Guang Han Palace to raise an eyebrow slightly. She said coldly, "It seems you have no sincerity. Then why come here to cause trouble?"
"How ridiculous. I've already said that I will appear as soon as the Guang Han Palace agrees. Yet you claim I have no sincerity. Everyone here is clear-minded. If the Guang Han Palace doesn't want to trade, just say so directly." The ethereal voice carried a hint of faint amusement, surprising the crowd. They wondered who this person was, daring to mock the Guang Han Palace. Now, the ancient saint clans of the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital all treated the Guang Han Palace with great respect.
"The Rebirth Scripture is extremely powerful. Why would my Guang Han Palace not want to trade?" the woman said calmly, without anger.
"Because the Guang Han Palace already possesses the Rebirth Scripture." The ethereal voice rolled in, causing the beautiful woman's expression to stiffen. Not only her, but the pupils of those around her also contracted slightly. The Guang Han Palace possessed the Rebirth Scripture?
Silence hung in the void for a moment. Then the woman smiled again and said, "My Guang Han Palace possesses many ancient scriptures, but I myself don't know exactly which ones. How could you know? Are you here deliberately to cause chaos?"
"Whether there is a Rebirth Scripture or not, we can test it." The illusory voice continued to emit ethereal words. The crowd didn't quite understand his meaning. Test it? How would they test it?
But at that moment, a vast, overwhelming pressure descended, pressing down on the Guang Han Palace. The crowd on the Cold Moon Lake could clearly feel this terrifying imperial might.
"Another terrifying powerhouse has arrived?" The crowd's pupils contracted, their hearts trembling. Earlier, an emperor-level powerhouse had come to the Guang Han Palace, but one great emperor was directly obliterated, and the other great emperor fled in fright. Now, imperial might appeared again, and it seemed even more terrifying.
"Boom!" In the void, a terrifying storm tore down from the sky. The storm, like lightning, swept directly into the Guang Han Palace on the Cold Moon Lake. In an instant, the lake water surged, the palace shattered, and the calm lake seemed to turn into a raging ocean. Even terrifying waves rolled toward the shores of the Cold Moon Lake.
"A powerhouse directly attacking the Guang Han Palace. What audacity." The crowd was shocked. Then, from within the vast and mysterious Guang Han Palace, overwhelming might appeared again. With a thunderous explosion, the madman from before stepped out of the Guang Han Palace once more, soaring into the sky. His chaotic body, like a demon, charged toward the source of the terrifying heavenly might, trampling the void until it trembled.
"Boom!" In the sky, it seemed two figures collided, shaking heaven and earth. Waves of terrifying pressure pierced through the void, spreading toward the Cold Moon Lake, churning the lake water as if it had become a vacuum, terrifying to the extreme.
"What terrifying heavenly might." The crowd was shaken. Who was this illusory figure, to summon such a terrifyingly powerful existence to deal with the Guang Han Palace?
Just as everyone's hearts trembled, another wave of overwhelming pressure descended from the sky.
"Dong!" It was as if an ancient bell tolled in the sky, striking the hearts of the crowd.
"Why are so many Saint Emperor-level existences appearing?" Lin Feng was deeply shocked. In the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, Saint Emperors reigned supreme. Saint Emperor-level powerhouses were already at the very top. The entire ancient capital had only a few ancient saint clans and a handful of other forces, such as the Demon Realm and the Guang Han Palace. Yet now, several Saint Emperor-level existences seemed to have appeared.
This Saint Emperor powerhouse was also shrouded in a layer of illusory aura, making his face impossible to see. He was clearly hiding his identity, not wanting to be known. He stepped down into the void, and it seemed the very heavens moved. Below, the continuous ancient pavilions and palaces of the Guang Han Palace began to explode and shatter, all aimed directly at the Guang Han Palace.
Seeing no one stop him, the figure stepped down again. The terrifying heavenly might surged toward the Guang Han Palace. But at that moment, a pair of terrifying giant hands reached out from within the Guang Han Palace, striking against the descending attack. A destructive light screen appeared in mid-air, as if it would annihilate everything.
The crowd saw a figure step out from the shattered Guang Han Palace. This person was powerfully built, with disheveled hair, seeming even crazier than the previous madman, utterly filthy. The distant crowd was speechless. Did everyone in the Guang Han Palace care so little about their appearance? Or had they cultivated themselves into madmen?
This newly appeared madman immediately charged into the sky. Another fierce battle erupted between two figures. The crowd on the shores of the Cold Moon Lake was pushed back by the terrifying waves. They now watched the horrifying battle in the void. Every casual movement of their hands seemed to contain supreme Dao might, causing heaven and earth to tremble along with them.
"Dong!"
Another wave of heavenly might descended, causing the crowd's hearts to twitch violently. Another Saint Emperor-level powerhouse had arrived. Were they going to destroy the Guang Han Palace?
"Ancient saint clans must be involved." The crowd had this thought, their hearts shaken. Where in the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital could so many terrifying Saint Emperor-level existences come from? There was only one possibility: ancient saint clans were involved, and perhaps more than one.
"Roar!" The second madman to emerge let out a deafening roar. The crowd felt their mental will become unstable, as if a terrifying devouring force was trying to swallow their mental will.
"Devouring Heaven Scripture?" The crowd's hearts trembled. How could this be? If the Guang Han Palace already had a powerhouse who cultivated the Devouring Heaven Scripture, why would they need to exchange ancient scriptures with Chu Chunqiu?
This terrifying devouring force was trying to swallow their mental will, and they were only sensing it from the sidelines. This showed what kind of terrifying devouring force the madman's opponent was facing.
"This is my Chu Clan's Devouring Heaven Scripture." At that moment, a powerhouse stepped forward. It was the Chu Clan powerhouse who had come and gone. His eyes now showed shock, staring fixedly at the madman.
"Chu Madman, over a thousand years, and you're still alive." At this moment, a clear voice rolled out, causing the crowd's hearts to tremble.
"It's him, the Chu Clan madman, a figure who disappeared over a thousand years ago!"
Hearing this, the crowd's hearts trembled. Many didn't even know whether the Chu Clan madman had lived or died over a thousand years ago. But today, he walked out from the Guang Han Palace.
"I, Chu, ask the Guang Han Palace for an explanation." At this moment, the Chu Clan powerhouse stepped forward and said loudly.
"He was the Chu Clan madman over a thousand years ago, but since he is dead, he is no longer a member of the Chu Clan," the woman said slowly, causing the Chu Clan powerhouse's pupils to contract. "He is alive and well right now."
"He is no longer himself. The Chu Clan madman is dead. This is the Guang Han Palace's madman," the woman said forcefully. At that moment, within the Guang Han Palace, figures stepped out from the lake water one after another, each with terrifyingly powerful auras, their majesty seeming to envelop thousands of miles.
"Is this the Guang Han Palace's explanation?" the Chu Clan powerhouse said coldly. Among the crowd, many figures rose into the air, all of them Chu Clan powerhouses.
Seeing this, the crowd's hearts stiffened, revealing strange expressions. The woman from the Guang Han Palace sneered and said, "It seems the Chu Clan was well prepared."
"It's not about being well prepared. I heard that a member of my Chu Clan was trapped in the Guang Han Palace, so I came to see the truth. If I hadn't seen this scene, my Chu Clan naturally wouldn't have appeared," the Chu Clan powerhouse didn't deny. From another direction, a powerhouse from the Xing Clan descended into the void, staring at a figure in the Cold Moon Lake. His eyes trembled slightly. "Uncle!"
There, a person was actually a senior figure of his Xing Clan. But now, it seemed he hadn't heard his words at all.
"It seems things are getting more chaotic." Lin Feng watched from the side. The mysterious Guang Han Palace seemed to be revealing itself to the crowd. It turned out that it had controlled so many powerhouses from the ancient clans of the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. If not for the simultaneous arrival of several Saint Emperors today, they might never have been able to test this out. Those madmen would never have appeared.
"It seems someone deliberately wanted to expose the Guang Han Palace." Lin Feng looked at the distant illusory figure. The one who demanded to trade the Rebirth Scripture was still there. He wondered who this person was, able to make Saint Emperors move and force a battle with the Guang Han Palace.
"Lin Feng." At this moment, a voice sounded, causing Lin Feng's expression to freeze slightly. Then a smile appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in this chaos.
"Master, long time no see." It turned out to be the Purple Gold Artifact Refining Master from the Flame Gold Tower.
"Haha, Lin Feng, you've gained quite a reputation in the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. I've heard your name many times," the Purple Gold Master said with a smile.
"Abandoned by heaven, is that considered a reputation?" Lin Feng shrugged, making the Purple Gold Master laugh again. He then pointed to the person beside him and said, "Lin Feng, this is a senior of my Flame Gold Tower, Duanmu Heavenly Emperor."
"Lin Feng greets the senior." Lin Feng looked at this middle-aged man in simple robes. He didn't expect him to be a Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse, and one skilled in artifact refining.
"Indeed, an extraordinary person. I've also heard of you many times," Duanmu Heavenly Emperor said to Lin Feng with a smile, appearing exceptionally approachable, without any of the majesty of a Heavenly Emperor.
Lin Feng smiled casually, then looked again at the terrifying battle in the distance. "Senior Duanmu, do you know what's going on?"
Duanmu Heavenly Emperor looked into the distance, his eyes deep and profound. He said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, what that person said earlier is correct. The Guang Han Palace not only possesses the Rebirth Scripture, but because of it, these people have been able to remain undying."
PS: I'm very tired today, so only one chapter. It might take a few days to make up for it, as I need to go to the hospital for IV drips in the coming days. But the next few days won't be like today. I'll try to maintain normal updates, but it's better to check later rather than wait. Sorry, brothers!
