Chapter 810: Bloodstained Mo Li 6
With the prestige of the Four Sacred Grounds on the Tian Xuan Continent, even the sect masters of the seven great powers might dare to kill an emperor of a nation, but they would never have the courage to kill even the lowest disciple of the Four Sacred Grounds.
Even if it were one of the Four Sacred Grounds, killing an ordinary disciple from another sacred ground would require careful consideration and weighing of consequences, let alone an elder-level figure... Moreover, elders of a sacred ground are not so easily killed. If such a thing did happen, it would inevitably provoke the fury of the entire sacred ground.
But, in the blink of an eye, the three sword servants who represented the pinnacle of the sword path and upheld the reputation of the Tian Wei Sword Domain, along with a full twenty-five elders, lay dead on the spot. Their blood stained the ground beneath the feet of the Sword Domain crowd. Even the Sword Master had fallen to the ground, yet they were not enraged; no one dared to rush forward. There was only boundless terror and uncontrollable trembling.
Because in their eyes, the red-dressed young girl killed the Sword Domain elders and the three sword servants too easily and casually. These sacred ground elders, who were usually arrogant and haughty, were like useless weeds before her. If they charged, they would simply be offering their lives for her to casually cut down.
Xuanyuan Wentian supported himself with his left arm. His right arm, a mass of blood and flesh, could no longer be raised. "Are you... human... or ghost..."
For the sake of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, he had laid a venomous scheme and destroyed the Eternal Night Royal Clan. To undo the seal of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, he had planned for a thousand years and endured for a thousand years. He had finally waited until today, and the final outcome was exactly as he wished... The seal on the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword was completely broken.
But he never dreamed that at this final stage, such a terrifying girl would appear, causing all his plans to fall short... He understood very well that with this red-dressed young girl's demon god-like strength, even if he had obtained all the power of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, he would never be her match... he wasn't even worthy of polishing her shoes.
Everything about the Demon Sword Conference had proceeded according to his wishes and plans, and the final result was as he desired... but before he could obtain the power of the demon sword, he had already offended a terrifying demon god whose power was tens of millions of times greater than that of the demon sword.
And now, he was like a lowly worm, cowering at the feet of this demon god young girl.
Mo Li stood with her hands behind her back, a cold sneer on her face that was completely at odds with her youthful age. "Xuanyuan Wentian, you were quite arrogant just now. First you wanted to capture Yun Che, then you wanted to kill this princess. Now this princess is right before you. Where is your arrogance now?"
Xuanyuan Wentian's mouth twitched, his pupils remained dilated. There was still no trace of profound energy emanating from Mo Li's body, nor did she suppress or seal Xuanyuan Wentian's profound energy. Yet just under her gaze, Xuanyuan Wentian's entire body went limp, his soul trembled, and he almost had no strength to stand.
Mo Li shifted her gaze toward the Tian Wei Sword Domain. Under her eyes, the elders of the Sword Domain, who were already on the verge of being scared out of their wits, felt a sudden chill throughout their bodies, as if they had suddenly fallen into the world's coldest ice cave, their blood nearly frozen solid. Xuanyuan Wendao, standing at the very front, let out a strange cry, stumbled backward, and sat down heavily on the ground.
Mo Li's gaze, however, passed through them and landed on the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword thrust into the ground behind them. She casually extended her small hand.
Swoosh!
With a soft sound, the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword appeared in Mo Li's hand as if teleported. Seeing the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword fall into Mo Li's hand, Xuanyuan Wentian's entire body went stiff, but he dared not make a sound.
"Heh, what a demon sword," Mo Li said, staring at the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword... The sword blade began to tremble slightly.
"As a venerable ancient demon sword, its power has decayed to such a pitiful state. It seems the Evil God's million-year seal truly destroyed the demonic artifact contract with that demon, causing it to exist independently apart from the demon body, and then it was eroded by the sealing power to its current state."
Mo Li murmured words that only Yun Che could understand. Her slender brows moved slightly, and she said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that after being discarded in the Tian Xuan Continent for a full ten thousand years, the incomplete demon soul hasn't dispersed yet. Now, to survive, it is fawning like a lowly crawling insect... Truly pathetic and pitiful."
"So pitiful that this princess can't even be bothered to annihilate you!" Mo Li let out an extremely disdainful cold laugh, then swung her arm and flung the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword far away... The moment she grasped the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, she sensed an extremely faint demon soul still lingering within it. Both she and Yun Che knew that the demon soul in the sword was the soul of Slay Moon Demon Lord's son. That it could still exist to this day without completely dissipating could be considered a miracle. But although it still existed, it was already extremely weak. Even if it were thrown back to a dark environment like the Slay Moon Demon Cave, it would soon vanish into smoke and scatter.
What made her disdainful was that, as the remnant soul of an ancient demon god, it had not a shred of demon dignity. When Mo Li caught it in her hand, it trembled in fear and begged desperately, far more pathetic than even the most spineless human. In her disdain, Mo Li couldn't even be bothered to erase it.
The Heavenly Sin Divine Sword flew all the way to the edge of the Sea God Platform, passing by many people, but no one dared to touch it. Eventually, it flew and landed in front of a person, who subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
Fen Juechen grabbed the suddenly incoming Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, feeling somewhat dazed.
"Fen Juechen," Mo Li said coldly, "Yun Che has always felt some guilt toward you. Consider this as compensation. Moreover, this originally belonged to you. It can enable you to one day have the ability to kill Xuanyuan Wentian, and it can also alleviate the pain you endure day and night. Take it and go as far as you can. From now on, grievances and favors are settled. If you still fail to appreciate this in the future, this princess will make sure you die without a burial ground."
Fen Juechen picked up the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, glanced at Xuanyuan Wentian lying on the ground, turned around, and left without a word. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Fen Juechen had experienced Mo Li's terror several months ago. From that time, he knew that with her around, he could never kill Yun Che.
In Xuanyuan Wentian's plan, after unsealing the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, he would use a method to deliberately let Fen Juechen "naturally" and "secretly" take the sword away. At this moment, he watched helplessly as the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword was taken away by Fen Juechen, but he couldn't muster even a hint of a smile.
"Xuanyuan Wentian, this princess is going to ask you a question, and you will answer truthfully." Mo Li's lips curled upward. "Of course, you can choose not to answer or answer wrongly, but I'm afraid the consequences will be more than you can bear."
"Wh-what do you want to ask?" Xuanyuan Wentian gasped.
"This princess asks you," Mo Li's voice turned cold, "Twenty-three years ago, who was the person who killed Xiao Ying in Liu Yun City?"
This question from Mo Li made Yun Che jerk his head up, his gaze fixed tightly on Xuanyuan Wentian. He knew that Mo Li was asking this for his sake.
He also knew that Mo Li would definitely not kill Xuanyuan Wentian, and even if she got the answer, she would not kill that person... Because she had said more than once that one's own vengeance must be taken by oneself.
Xuanyuan Wentian's pupils twitched. Behind him, Xuanyuan Wendao, who had just been carefully helped up by the Sword Domain elders, shuddered all over. His legs went weak, and if not for his arms still being supported by two elders, he would have collapsed again... but his legs trembled violently, unable to stop no matter what.
Yun Che saw Xuanyuan Wendao's reaction... Naturally, it did not escape Mo Li's spiritual sense.
It was him... It was Xuanyuan Wentian's son—Xuanyuan Wendao!!
Yun Che clenched his fists. On the backs of his hands and his forehead, veins bulged with fury. His entire body was filled with a bone-chilling killing intent... But he didn't make a sound, nor did he attack Xuanyuan Wendao. He was even fiercely suppressing his own killing intent and rage.
Because he had made a promise to Xiao Lie that one day, he would personally bring the culprit who killed Xiao Ying and destroyed their family before Xiao Lie, and let him handle, vent, and end it.
He would do it with his own hands, not through Mo Li's!!
This was a promise, and also a point of pride.
"It... it is Gu Xing, it is my Sword Domain's Grand Elder Xuanyuan Guxing!" Xuanyuan Wentian pointed at Xuanyuan Guxing's severed corpse, his voice trembling.
The person who killed Xiao Ying back then was indeed Xuanyuan Wendao. But that was his son, how could he reveal that... Framing a dead man of high status was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Oh... is that so." Mo Li smiled. Her smile had no hint of childishness, radiant enough to dim all the light in the world. But Xuanyuan Wentian, who was closest to her, saw the sneer of the Grim Reaper.
"Just now, this princess warned you that giving the wrong answer would have serious consequences... It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!!"
Mo Li's voice fell. She raised her small hand and struck directly upward.
BOOM——————————
The sky shattered, the entire continent trembled. Within thousands of miles, the seas simultaneously erupted in towering waves. In the cloudless clear sky, a massive spatial rift exploded open, expanding abruptly. In the eyes of everyone, which were filled with terror almost to the point of bursting, it instantly grew to dozens of miles in size!!
Light dimmed severalfold. What appeared above the Supreme Sea Palace was a spatial black hole dozens of miles wide!!
Panicked, hoarse cries filled the sky, tearing at eardrums. A spatial rift dozens of miles long... They couldn't believe their eyes, couldn't believe that a human could possess such power... No, even the legendary gods could not possess such terrifying divine might!!
The long and narrow spatial rift, fully sixty to seventy miles in length, showed no sign of twisting or contracting. It hung quietly in the sky like an overly black cloud.
Not to mention others, even Yun Che, who understood Mo Li's strength best, was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out under this spatial rift.
He knew Mo Li's strength was incomparably terrifying, but he had never known exactly how powerful she was... Because that was a level that completely surpassed his two lifetimes of understanding.
From within the spatial rift, a large area of land rapidly emerged. With the eyesight of those present, they could clearly see the land covered with various colorful exotic flowers and rare herbs, and there were all kinds of houses, pavilions, and halls. There were even groups of profound beasts and people...
These profound beasts and people were all letting out terrified howls.
In just a few breaths, a vast land over sixty miles in length and width was suspended upside down in the sky at a height of ten miles. The spatial rift of dozens of miles also disappeared. Neither the entire land nor the dead objects and living things on it fell down; instead, they just hung in the air, not even a speck of dust falling. Only a vast wave of agonized screams, as if from purgatory, came... Even across a distance of ten miles, it was still heart-wrenching.
Soon, the people of the Four Sacred Grounds... especially those of the Tian Wei Sword Domain, in their terror, suddenly realized that this land was extremely familiar.
"Tha... that... that is... that is... it's the Northern Domain... it's the Northern Domain!!" The Ninth Elder of the Tian Wei Sword Domain, Xuanyuan Jue, let out the most terrified roar of his life. Just a dozen words made blood spurt from his throat.
This blood-curdling roar also reminded everyone... especially those of the Tian Wei Sword Domain, firmly confirming the truth in their hearts that was more terrifying than a nightmare.
"Nor... Northern Domain! Ah——"
"No... impossible... this must be a dream... impossible!!"
"How can there be such a thing... how can such a thing be possible..."
"That is indeed... the Northern Domain of the Tian Wei Sword Domain." The True Person Jiutan of the Huangji Sacred Domain murmured. "I have been there many times... It cannot be wrong..."
The Tian Wei Sword Domain is divided into six regions: the Eastern Domain, Western Domain, Southern Domain, Northern Domain, Central Domain, and Sword Domain. Among them, the Central Domain is at the core, the central place of the entire Tian Wei Sword Domain, while the Sword Domain is for training, competition, and trials.
But within the entire Tian Wei Sword Domain, the strongest defensive force, and also the most important, is the smallest region—the Northern Domain.
Because the Northern Domain is the Tian Wei Sword Domain's medicine garden!!
There, a large number of miraculous medicines and pills are planted and stored. Each one is priceless and hard to find in the world. At the same time, a large number of rare profound beasts used for alchemy are also raised there. These are the accumulation of the entire ten thousand years of the Tian Wei Sword Domain! They are the most important resource support for the Tian Wei Sword Domain!
It is no exaggeration to say that if the Northern Domain is destroyed, it would be equivalent to destroying nearly half of the Tian Wei Sword Domain's ten-thousand-year foundation.
For any of the sacred grounds, it is the same!
"Ah... you... you... you..." Xuanyuan Wentian was so shocked that his soul scattered.
In terms of distance, among the Four Sacred Grounds, the Tian Wei Sword Domain is closest to the Supreme Sea Palace, but it is still a full seventy thousand miles away!!
With a casual strike, she tore open a spatial rift dozens of miles across, and in the blink of an eye, from a distance of seventy thousand miles, she uprooted a sixty-mile-wide land and teleported it across seventy thousand miles of space to here...
What kind of divine might is this!!
