Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 149 - 147: He’s Dead for Sure
A certain location within the Barbaric Mountain Range.
Tuoba Hongyu’s expression was grave, her gaze filled with disbelief as she looked at the mysterious figure shrouded in a cloak before her.
This person was the one she had contacted through the golden spirit ring her royal father had given him, the one who had once aided the Barbarian Race in secret!
Yet, what he said made her unable to believe him!
"What’s wrong, Mr. Tuoba, you don’t trust me?"
The mysterious figure’s laughter was laced with amusement.
Tuoba Hongyu replied coldly, "Why should I trust you?"
The mysterious figure chuckled, "I’ve said all I ought to say; whether you believe me is none of my business!"
"However, this is the greatest opportunity your Barbarian Race has ever had!"
"Take this chance to test whether the Son of Heaven of Daqian dares to show himself!"
"If he dares, then your Barbarian Race won’t be able to make any moves for decades—better shrink back and behave!"
"But if he doesn’t dare... You may not understand what that would mean, but I believe the Barbarian King will certainly grasp it!"
"That would be an earth-shaking opportunity!"
"Who exactly are you?"
Tuoba Hongyu’s eyes were sharp as blades!
"A man of vengeance!"
The mysterious figure burst out laughing, his form drifting away with the wind.
Once he was far in the distance, he glanced back, then slowly took off his cloak!
It was none other than Song Yuanhao!
...
"Who would have thought the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure would be in the Barbaric Mountain Range? If I’d only known..."
"Known your ass, even if you’d known early, you couldn’t find it or get in!"
"Hell, there’s so many people—once we enter, we’ll have to form alliances!"
"Heh, even if we don’t gain any fortunes, just hunting these people will bring endless rewards!"
"There... those are the Barbarians!"
The crowd surged forward in great numbers, and as they arrived at the Barbaric Mountain Range, the mighty figures standing tall upon the distant mountains instantly seized everyone’s attention.
The Barbarian Race!
The treasure of the Cyan Gang Sect—how could the Barbarian Race stand idly by?
From the start, those of Wuhou Hall and the others invited Tuoba Hongyu and Xu Yang, never intending to hide things from the Barbarians!
After all, the Barbarians would never let Xu Yang return to Daqian alone!
Now, with all sides mingling, one more faction—the Barbarians—didn’t matter to the many forces present!
Yet, enemies facing one another always burn with even more hatred!
All the more so, when it’s between two races!
"If you ask me, why don’t we charge in with our numbers and wipe out this group of Barbarian prodigies? Wouldn’t that be delightful?"
Someone made the suggestion, but those around him all stared at him as though looking at an idiot!
Words like that could only be said aloud!
If you really killed this group, the Barbarians would fight you to the death!
"Good lord, the Barbarians have actually brought over a hundred men!"
"Look ahead at those Barbarian prodigies—most of them are at the Yang Realm! Hiss!"
As they drew near, all eyes filled with astonishment!
The prodigies of Daqian scrutinized the opposition, each feeling a sense of dread!
"Xu Yang, you bastard! Abandoned by King Beixuan and married into our Barbarian Race as a son-in-law; yet you want the treasure of the Cyan Gang Sect to be carved up by Daqian—some loyalty you have to Daqian!"
Helan Xing called out to Xu Yang from afar, his shout icy and thunderous!
Everyone turned to look at Xu Yang!
If it were anyone else, the crowd would have started cursing together.
But as it was Xu Yang, now a son-in-law of the Barbarian Race...
The atmosphere instantly quieted.
All eyes were on Xu Yang, watching for his response!
Yet even the Barbarians’ attitudes were unexpected.
They’d thought, with Xu Yang’s astonishing alchemy, that he’d have a high standing among the Barbarians.
Now, seeing this, the Barbarians held malice toward him just the same!
Xu Yang didn’t spare Helan Xing a glance, instead staring straight at Tuoba Hongyu: "If the Barbarian Race wishes to withdraw, you’re free to say so!"
"I believe all sides present would agree to that!"
Tuoba Hongyu’s face darkened as she cast a look at Helan Xing: "If you don’t want to go, then just piss off now!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Helan Xing’s face alternated between green and white, rage blazing in his eyes. He shot Xu Yang a venomous glare but dared not utter another word!
The others witnessed this and kept their own insults against Xu Yang to themselves.
"Once we’re inside the treasure, it won’t be too late to kill him!"
"Xu Yang, this time I’ll make sure you have nowhere to run!"
Helan Xing’s eyes brimmed with poisonous hatred!
Tuoba Dajiang, Guo Wenzhan, Surihan, and the others all wore similarly grim expressions!
Elsewhere.
Within the ranks of the Royal Palace and Wuhou Hall, hushed discussions abounded!
"This bastard’s made a lot of enemies. Those Barbarian prodigies must be the Barbarian Race’s elite, all strong—not weaker than Marquis Wu himself!"
"And those eyes, like they want to slaughter Xu Yang on the spot! Surrounded by enemies—hmph!"
"He’s too arrogant. So what if he can craft supreme pills? He deserves death at every hand!"
"If there’s a chance inside the treasure, we kill him!" Gong Lang’s cold words echoed in the ears of everyone from Wuhou Hall.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, their gazes turning icy!
Zheng Qi narrowed his eyes, killing intent surging: "Xu Yang, I’ll never let you leave here alive!"
Grievances as endless as an ocean of blood—blood must be paid with blood!
No survival, no surrender!
Chen Chong clenched his fists, his expression twisted, and looked at Xu Yang like a maddened beast about to devour and tear him to pieces.
"Little sister, rest assured, your second brother will avenge you!"
"I’ll turn him into a statue, kneeling at your grave for thousands of years!"
The hatred and killing intent from Wuhou Hall, Chen Chong, Chen Tai’e toward Xu Yang could scarcely be described in words!
The Chen Family aside, it’s truly fight-to-the-death!
As for Wuhou Hall, it’s the Martial Arts Sacred Land of Daqian, backed by the imperial court!
No matter where they go, even ordinary disciples are sought after, let alone Marquis Wu or titled Marquises!
Yet this time, they’d suffered a stinging loss at Xu Yang’s hands!
He’d ignored them, provoked them—leaving every disciple of Wuhou Hall disgraced. How could they walk the world from now on?
Once inside the treasure, Xu Yang must die!
Xu Yang felt countless chilling gazes falling upon him.
He knew that many wished to kill him!
"Chen Chong, Zheng Qi, the Chen Family, Wuhou Hall, Barbarian Race... My list of enemies really is long!"
"The more, the better—only then is it a challenge!"
"All of you will become stepping stones for my rise!"
Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashing within. In a blur, he darted into the boundless Barbaric Mountain Range.
Half an hour later!
Amidst seven encircling giant peaks—
The myriad phenomena experts all wore grave expressions, fixed on a stone platform like a sacrificial altar!
"This is the place to open the treasure!"
"We’ll need the Cyan Gang Sect’s token, and seven Myriad Phenomena Realm experts!"
Xu Yang glanced at the crowd and offered a faint smile: "Everyone, please!"
At that moment, all put aside their distractions.
The seven predetermined experts stepped forward, inspected the place with utmost care, then nodded to each other.
No traps in sight!
"If that’s the case, let’s begin!"
"As for whether Myriad Phenomena Realm cultivators can enter, that’s up to fate."
"Hahaha, we’re already here—entering or not doesn’t matter now!"
"To be honest, I feared the old geezers from Cyan Gang Sect would have laid some inescapable net in there!"
Amidst laughter, the seven experts stood encircling the stone platform, all pressing their palms onto the hand imprints!
At the same time, Xu Yang removed the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant and placed it in the central indentation!
Ka!
A perfect fit!
A trace of cyan jade light rose upwards!
Boom!
As the seven poured in their True Essence, the stone platform immediately convulsed violently—a vast, ancient, oceanic wave of terrifying power erupted forth, penetrating the mountain walls and surging rapidly in all directions!
This aura was still rising.
The seven each looked increasingly grave, with flickers of alarm in their eyes!
"Within this stone platform lies a fearsome array!"
