Chapter 1552
The mountain ridge was massive, ancient trees towering into the heavens. Giant stones laid in disarray.
This was Meng Tianzheng’s place of seclusion, ever since he came here, he no longer came back out. A bronze lamp hung by the ancient palace, continuously flickering about.
It was extremely dim. Inside of that bronze lamp, the light swayed about, the fiery light ready to go out at any time, leaving one greatly alarmed.
It was because this was Meng Tianzheng’s soul lamp, not a normal type of magical artifact. This indicated that his situation was extremely bad, that he was currently wandering about the brink of life and death.
This bronze soul lamp matched Great Elder’s aura, revealing his current situation.
“Great Elder!”
A few figures stood before the giant palace, their expressions miserably pale, extremely shocked. Great Elder’s current situation was terrible, completely unstable. How was he supposed to come out now?
These were the divine wills and spiritual bodies that Qing Yi, Chang Gongyan, Lunar Jade Rabbit, and others sent over. They stood here, feeling extremely nervous.
“Heh heh...” There was someone who released a faint laugh. It was extremely soft, but also extremely ear-piercing.
Apart from Qing Yi’s group, there were other creatures’ true bodies that stood here. However, these people weren’t all that anxious, instead calm and unruffled, extremely easygoing.
Chi!
In the distance, divine light shone. Many figures appeared, merging with those divine wills and spiritual bodies. The Heavenly Horned Ant and others’ true bodies arrived, landing here.
“Out of the way!” Qing Yi released a light shout.
The normally gentle, well-tempered her was now extremely angry, because she instantly knew what was going on.
The ones who were calm and unhurried were Jin Family’s people. When the divine wills and spiritual bodies came, they were actually stopped not long ago!
These people truly could be considered to harbor unfathomable motives, purposely stopping the Lunar Jade Rabbit, Qing Yi, and the others’ divine wills from approaching this place, not letting them walk within the range of the giant palace.
This could be said to be a fatal obstruction, preventing news from entering the giant palace. From this, Qing Yi, Lunar Jade Rabbit, and others couldn’t change Shi Hao’s conclusion of leaving Imperial Pass.
If not for seeing Great Elder’s soul lamp continuously flickering, ready to go out at any time, they might even take action, do everything they could to intercept them.
Now, they didn’t act rashly, no longer blocking the path, but that type of somewhat restrained, but also expressions that carried amusement, was still extremely unsightly.
“Senior Meng is in danger, I advise you all not to disturb him! We should be helping him keep the law, we will not allow any disturbance here!” A middle-aged man said. This was a Self Release Realm great cultivator.
His face carried a gentle smile, but no matter how one looked at it, it seemed extremely fake.
“Get out of my sight! If you dare block the way again, even if Jin Taijun protects you, you will definitely be killed!” Even though the Heavenly Horned Ant was small, his voice was extremely penetrating, eyes red as he shouted.
Jin Family’s people were all shaken. Even though their cultivation realms were higher than this ant’s, they felt a bit of restraining fear. It was because they heard that there were five old soldiers protecting this Heavenly Horned Ant, that they were his father’s past soldiers.
Even though those old soldiers weren’t in Imperial Pass, still in Heavenly Deity Institution’s cave, in the future, it was possible that they might leave.
One had to understand that Wang Family previously mustered great forces to capture Shi Hao, but they ended up being dealt with miserably by those old soldiers.
“We are acting out of good intentions, all of us wishing for Senior Meng to make it through this tribulation, survive, but the situation right now really isn’t all that great.” One of them said.
At this time, they didn’t dare laugh, because a large group of youngsters came. If they continued to put on that type of appearance, they might incur public wrath.
The group of youngsters walked about the giant palace, all of them uneasy. They couldn’t ask Great Elder to come out, moreover, they might receive grievous news of death, because that bronze lamp was becoming increasingly dim.
It really was about to go out!
Many people released a long sigh. Perhaps this really was the will of heaven, for Huang to die. Now, even the last bit of hope was gone, what was there left to do?
That was why everyone already no longer hoped for Great Elder to take action. Safely making it through this disaster could already be considered good news.
“Shi Hao!” A few people’s heads were lowered, feeling a wave of powerlessness. Qing Yi, Lunar Jade Rabbit, and others’ eyes even more so carried tears. There was nothing else they could do.
In the end, it was still their cultivation levels not being high enough. If they were all close to the supreme being level, they could then challenge people of their level, naturally able to stop all of this.
Apart from this, if they had an immortal artifact or two, they would have the strength to oppose Jin Taijun.
“Not good!” Great Xu Tuo released a light shout, even this ancient monk bloodline’s inheritor revealing a shocked expression, lacking his normal calm and unflustered demeanor.
It was because the soul lamp in front of the ancient palace went out with a flash, immediately becoming dim, the flame not jumping about again.
Great Elder Meng Tianzheng really died?
The people here immediately became stunned, and then all hope turned to dust. This type of great expert was going to die like this? No one dared believe this, nor could they accept it!
“Great Elder!” A group of experts roared out.
“Senior Meng, how could you be like this?” Many people cried out in grief. This was just too sudden, and too unexpected.
When it rains, it pours, was this what was happening? Everything was happening together.
They were in despair, no one able to save Shi Hao now. Moreover, now, there was completely no time left.
The corners of Jin Family’s people’s lips curled up. They didn’t feel any grief, only carrying astonishment, aside from this also relaxed expressions, feeling like a great mountain in their minds collapsed.
There were some people from Wang Family here as well, all of them feeling relieved from a burden. It was because Meng Tianzheng’s existence was too much of pressure for them.
Meng Tianzheng had previously fought his way into Wang Family, attacking in Shi Hao’s place, competing with Immortal Wang, both sides not getting along. Now that he died like this, Wang Family’s people finally felt as if the dark clouds separated, revealing the sun behind them.
“Great Elder!” A group of youngsters screamed out, all of them carrying great grief.
Meanwhile, there were people in the distance who revealed soft laughter.
“Heh heh...”
This was an extremist from Jin Family who rushed over from the city wall. This type of attitude really left one feeling annoyed, incomparably furious.
Even though there were only a few of them, moreover hiding it extremely well, their expressions were still seen by others. This immediately incurred all of their anger.
Right when someone was about to erupt, suddenly, the giant palace shook.
Hong!
A giant noise sounded. A powerful aura spread.
Moreover, that extinguished soul lamp suddenly erupted with incomparable brilliance, shining like a sun.
“Ah! Great Elder has revived! He didn’t die, he is still alive!” Someone cheered loudly.
The soul lamp was brilliant, actually becoming extremely dazzling after dying out, revealing that Great Elder was unaffected, that there was no worry to his life.
Kuangdang!
The giant palace’s great gates were opened, a wave of boundless fluctuations rushing out from within. Many people shivered inwardly, unable to resist it.
This was especially the case with Jin Family and Wang Family’s people, their expressions going rigid. The ones who were laughing just now even more so became pale, with even all of their teeth clattering.
Putong!
Quite a few people under Jin Family fell weak onto the ground, shivering in fear, Wang Family’s people not all that better off. It was because when that type of fluctuation swept over, not even Self Release Realm great cultivators could endure it.
During this process, that soul lamp changed from being resplendent to dim, shining again, continuously flickering about several times.
Everyone shivered inwardly. Everyone knew that Great Elder’s state was extremely special, a bit unstable, fluctuating from weak to extremely powerful.
Then, a young Meng Tianzheng walked out, still dressed in tattered golden battle armor, covered in blood, he hadn’t changed his equipment since returning from Desolate Border’s battle.
“Great Elder, Shi Hao, he...” The Lunar Jade Rabbit wept.
Meng Tianzheng sighed, saying, “I know everything!”
The reason why he could awake was precisely because there was a powerful emotion surrounding this place, affecting him.
This made Meng Tianzheng revive from the deepest state of cultivation, sensing everything in the outside world, emerge in fury. Even though he looked calm, everyone could feel the calamity level pressure. How could Great Elder just take things lying down?
Peng!
Great Elder left the giant palace with a single step, arriving before everyone.
When he landed, the bodies of everyone from Jin Family and Wang Family were greatly shaken, all of them in fear, their expressions incomparably pale. They laid on the ground, shivering, as if there wasn’t a single bone in their body.
This was the anger of a supreme being, immediately making heaven and earth lose color, crazy winds sweeping about, lightning and thunder rumbling, lightning interweave, rubble flying everywhere, giant mountains shaking.
If not for them being in Imperial Pass, still holding back somewhat, lava would gush out from the ground, mountains and valleys even rupturing.
Despite this being the case, Jin and Wang Family’s people still couldn’t withstand it. Those who previously laughed coldly, stopped Qing Yi and Chang Gongyan, immediately even more so directly exploded at this moment.
They turned into a pool of blood, directly losing their lives.
On the contrary, the youngsters were unaffected, no matter how crazy the supreme being aura was, how angry Great Elder was, they still weren’t harmed in the slightest.
It was because Great Elder released a gentle light, surrounding all of them, protecting them within.
Immediately afterwards, Great Elder took another step out, crossing who knew how many tens of thousands of li, instantly appearing before that special city wall, arriving at the scene of the crime!
“It’s... Senior Meng!” Someone cried out.
Everyone knew the relationship between Meng Tianzheng and Huang, also knowing that not long ago, he entered the deepest level of dao comprehension, becoming dormant. They never expected him to wake up this quickly, being startled out.
The expressions of everyone from Jin Family changed. Meanwhile, Wang Family, Du Family and the others also turned pale with fright.
They knew that Great Elder was definitely indignant.
The wrath of a supreme being would result in corpses for ten thousand li, blood flowing like rivers. Perhaps Jin Family might be in trouble.
The current Meng Tianzheng was in his golden years, imposing and heroic, domineering and terrifying. The damaged golden armor carried dark red blood, his black hair scattered behind him, intimidating to the extreme.
The divine light in his eyes was resplendent, immediately seeing the Everlasting Sword Core stabbed into the ground. His sharp eyebrows immediately stood on end. With a raise of his hand, the sword core was pulled up from the ground, appearing in his hand with a qiang sound, firmly grasped in his hand.
Everyone’s expressions changed!
A supreme being was angry, pulling up the sword core, towering there. Was he going to unleash a great slaughter here?!
