Han Jingzhong and Zhang Tiangui, their faces wore a look of awe. They kept their heads lowered as they followed the Red Desire Star Envoy and the Purple Wind Star Envoy into the camp.
This was a vast military camp that had been carved out of the lofty mountains, and it was also the training base for the most powerful army of the Four Directions Prefecture, the Barbarian Elephant Army.
There were both horse farms and martial arts training platforms, as well as a camp dedicated to training savage beasts.
There are only three thousand soldiers in the whole base, but the weakest of them are all at the smallest level of the Earth Extreme Realm, and when they step out of the barracks, they are first-class martial arts powerhouses.
Their mounts were all Barbarian Elephants.
The Barbarian Elephant is a fourth-ranked lower class Barbarian Beast.
Although they were only the weakest fourth rank savage beasts, if three thousand savage elephants charged through, who could stop them?
Even a Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Myth would be instantly crushed.
Having such a powerful army would be enough to sweep across the entire Heavenly Demon Ridge’s thirty-six counties.
To create a Barbarian Elephant Army, one would need to spend a huge amount of spirit crystals and collect experts from all over the world, the royal clans of the four quadrant counties simply didn’t have that kind of financial power, nor did they have such a strong calling power.
Therefore, the real owner of this Barbarian Elephant Army was not the Four Square County Kingdom, but a big shot in the black market.
At this moment, this one big shot was sitting above the main tent of the military camp.
He was wearing a Xuan Iron Armour with gold trim, his face had a golden iron mask, and his hands, which were exposed outside his sleeves, appeared to be very white and delicate, obviously a young man.
However, it was such a young man who exuded a chilling aura.
On top of that, in the tent, there were dozens of martial arts powerhouses sitting: the county kings of the Four Directions County Kingdom, the gate master of the Hellmouth Sect, the general master of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, and the master of the Vermilion Bird Building ……
The masters of the top powers of the Black Market of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, almost all of them were gathered here, and each one of them was an existence to be feared.
Of course, on top of that, there were some more young talents of the Black Market who were not qualified to be seated and could only stand at the edge of the tent. For example, the seven experts of the younger generation of the Black Market, and some newly risen young evil ruthless people.
Among those young Evil Dao Ruthless Men, there was a man with a thin figure. He was leaning against the wall of the camp tent, wearing a linen grey suit, his body standing straight, his hand cupping an iron sword, his body carrying a deadly aura, as if he had no emotions whatsoever.
If Zhang Ruochen was here, he would be able to recognise him. That one grey-clothed man was none other than the Life Snatching Swordsman who had decided to join the black market in the first place, Ah Le.
Only, nowadays, Ah Le was already the topmost assassin of the younger generation of the Hellmouth Sect. With a cultivation of the Earth Extreme Realm, he was able to kill Heavenly Extreme Realm martial artists, and was Avray respected by the Earth Fate Sect Master.
In the Earth Mansion Sect, Ah Le’s strength had already surpassed the young master of the Earth Mansion Sect, “Purple Yin Yang”.
However, Ah Lok’s character is too withdrawn, almost never talk to anyone, just like a humanoid stone.
Besides that, there were two other young martial artists from the Earth Mansion Sect who were also in the tent, namely, Zi Yin Yang and Zi Xi. With their status, they could only stand in the corner position.
In the entire tent, it was silent, and only the occasional breathing sounds could be heard, the atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme.
The man wearing a metal iron mask sitting above him, his voice was a little hoarse as he said, ”Coming to the Heavenly Demon Ridge, I am very disappointed. The Black Market was actually completely suppressed by the Martial Market Money Bank and the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult, without any initiative at all, this, is not like our Black Market’s style.”
“The Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce is the Black Market’s largest chamber of commerce in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, with forces spread across the 36 counties and gathered dozens of Heavenly Extreme Realm Martial Myths. Master Hua, tell us what the reason is?”
Poison Spider Chamber’s General Chamber Master Hua Qing Ye’s face changed drastically, as if he had been named by the Grim Reaper, his entire body kept breaking out in cold sweat, and his legs were trembling a little.
He was already over a hundred years old, and his martial cultivation had already broken through the Heavenly Extremity Realm and reached the Fish Dragon Realm, which was considered to have transcended the realm of mortals. However, in front of that one mysterious man, a strong fear arose in his heart, very uneasy.
Hua Qing Ye stood up somewhat trembling, bowed and saluted to that mysterious man, and fearfully said: ”The situation of the Young Lord …… Heavenly Demon Ridge is quite complicated, all the forces are very powerful, not only is it as simple as just the Martial Market Money Bank and the Moon Worshipping Demon Cult, the Tai Qing Palace and the Yuntai Zongfu are both fourth-rate clans with half saints. should not be underestimated. On top of that ……”
“Boom!”
The man wearing a metal iron mask, slammed his palm on the desktop and snorted coldly, “In that case, what’s the use of keeping you?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy and the Purple Wind Star Envoy both stood behind that one man wearing a metal iron mask, one on the left and one on the right, one wearing a red dress, sexually. Sensual. Demonic. Enchanting; one wearing a purple embroidered dragon robe, handsome and domineering.
Hearing the words of that one man wearing a metal mask, the Red Desire Star Envoy and the Purple Wind Star Envoy instantly understood, and a cold light appeared in their eyes as they stared towards Hua Qing Ye.
“Guild Master Hua, if you are able to dodge one of my strikes, I will spare you from death.”
That one purple-robed man with a dragon-headed iron spear on his back, the Purple Wind Star Envoy, rushed out with a swish, arriving in front of Hua Qing Ye’s body in almost an instant.
The Violet Wind Star Envoy’s five fingers pinched into a palm blade, forming a purple blade aura that slashed at the Poison Spider Chamber General Master’s left shoulder.
The power of the Violet Wind Star Envoy was controlled quite exquisitely, without a trace of true qi leaking out.
As the General Master of the Poison Spider Chamber of Commerce, Hua Qing Ye was naturally a rather powerful expert, his body twisted and his legs powered up, wanting to retreat rapidly.
Before he could move his feet, a sharp pain came from the position of his shoulder.
“Pfft!”
Hua Qingye’s left arm, chopped off by the purple blade Qi, fell to the ground.
Crimson blood, gushing out from the shoulder, caused a strong bloody aura to permeate the tent.
The Purple Wind Star Envoy stared at Hua Qing Ye, did not continue his attack, and retreated back again, saying, ”Since you were able to dodge my move, I will spare your life. However, you should know that I only used one tenth of my cultivation to fight you just now. If I had used my full strength, you would already not even have a piece of bone left.”
“Many thanks to the Violet Wind Star Envoy, many thanks to the Young Lord.”
Hua Qing Ye immediately knelt on the ground and continuously kowtowed to the man wearing a metal mask sitting above him.
In the tent, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, their eyes becoming even more fearful.
Hua Qing Ye was a superpower beyond the Heavenly Extremity Realm, yet he had his arm wasted by that one purple-robed man with a single move, how strong must that one purple-robed man be?
That purple-robed man only looked to be in his twenties, even if a martial artist could delay aging, he would never be more than fifty years old.
To be able to reach such a high level of achievement at no more than fifty years old was truly terrifying.
That one man wearing a metal mask, said, ”Everyone doesn’t need to be so afraid of me, we are all working for the black market and should get along with each other. Perhaps everyone is still unfamiliar with me, let me introduce myself first, I am the number one expert of the East Domain Black Market’s First Grade Hall of Earth, everyone can call me …… Emperor One. If everyone has read this issue of the East Domain Wind and Cloud Newspaper, they should also have some understanding of me, I am the one who defeated Bu Qianfan with three swords.”
“Although I’m only at the cultivation level of the Earth Extremity Realm right now, I hope that everyone won’t underestimate me, or else it won’t be as simple as breaking an arm!”
That man who called himself ‘Emperor One’ laughed and added, “I came to the Heavenly Demon Ridge this time for two main things, firstly, the Black Market must have absolute control in the Heavenly Demon Ridge, whether it’s the Martial Market Money Bank, the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, or the local forces of the Heavenly Demon Ridge, they must all be subjugated to the Black Market’s feet. ”
“Secondly, I want to search for the legendary dragon relic, I hope everyone can help me.”
The Four Direction County King asked cautiously, “Young Lord, what is the Dragon Sherry?”
Di Di Yi said, “Eight hundred years ago, there were a total of nine supreme beings in the entire Kunlun Realm, known as the ‘Nine Emperors’. Among the Nine Emperors, there was a Buddhist cultivator known as the ‘Buddha Emperor’.”
“In order to unify the world, Empress Chi Yao had to march into the Western Region to suppress the ‘Vanquishing Buddha Dao’, one of the three paths. As the Buddha Emperor was the Dao Master of the Vanquished Heavenly Dao, it was naturally inevitable that he would have to fight against the Empress Chi Yao, who was in the ascendancy at the time.”
“As recorded in history, that battle was won by Empress Chi Yao, who forcefully took the Western Regions and defeated the leader of the Buddhist Sect, the Ten Thousand Buddha Dao.”
“After the Buddha Emperor died at the hands of Empress Chi Yao, the relics left behind were swallowed in one gulp by the Buddha Emperor’s mount, the Golden Dragon.”
“The Golden Dragon took advantage of the fact that Empress Chi Yao’s fight with the Buddha Emperor had injured her vital energy and escaped. Later, Empress Chi Yao sent her experts to hunt down the Golden Dragon and seize the relics within it. However, it didn’t occur to me that the Golden Dragon had already completely refined the relics and transformed them into dragon relics, and his cultivation increased greatly, killing the experts sent by Empress Chi Yao.”
“The Golden Dragon crushed the experts sent by Empress Chi Yao, but it itself was severely injured and eventually died on the way to escape. Since then, the Dragon Shelter has also disappeared.”
“I searched through the ancient books of the Black Market One Piece Hall and finally found some clues in one of the books.”
“Back then, Empress Chi Yao’s power was already at its peak, sweeping across the Nine Emperors, invincible under the heavens. After the Golden Dragon was severely injured, he travelled all the way east and fled to the Eastern Domain, which was still barren back then. In the Eastern Domain, the Golden Dragon had a junior, and that was the four-winged Earth Dragon, the former overlord of the Heavenly Demon Ridge.”
“I’m guessing that the Golden Dragon, who was severely injured back then, died in the Sky Demon Ridge.”
“There are two lairs of the Four-Winged Earth Dragon, the first is the Red Sky Secret Mansion deep in the Sky Demon Ridge, and the other is the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the Tong Ming River.”
“During the battle five hundred years ago, the Red Sky Secret Mansion had already been reduced to rubble, and if there was truly a dragon relic, it would have definitely been taken away. However, the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the water has never been opened, so if the Four-Winged Earth Dragon really obtained the Golden Dragon’s Dragon Relic, it’s likely that it’s placed in the Dragon Palace.”
Hearing Di Yi’s words, those Black Market Evil People present all had their blood boiling.
The legendary Buddha Emperor, who left behind his relics, was most likely in the Heavenly Demon Ridge. Could there be anything more exciting than this?
Obtaining the relics was equivalent to obtaining the Buddha Emperor’s legacy.
Of course, they didn’t even dare to wish for the Dragon’s Relic, that was something that only Emperor Yi could possess. However, if they helped Emperor One, seize the dragon relic, that would be a great honour.
