"Damn it!"
At Hengtian Mountain in the southern part of the Heavenly Fiend Desolate Domain, Hu Lifu clutched a broken bull horn, his face grim, his body trembling slightly, but his enormous eyes blazed with intense killing intent.
"Third Elder, I truly didn't expect that Lian Jin would perish in human territory. Aren't humans already in decline?"
"How could Lian Jin..."
Of the Primeval Mang Bull lineage, Second Elder Fan Cheng looked at the broken bull horn in Hu Lifu's hand. This was a pair of horns shed by Lian Jin during his breakthrough to the Creation Realm, containing traces of Lian Jin's essence blood. The horn's breakage signified the scattering of his essence blood, a sign of demise!
Ten thousand years. For ten thousand years, when have humans produced a Heaven-Piercing Warrior? What is happening now? What is happening?
"Hmph!"
"Lian Jin was a Creation Realm Warrior painstakingly nurtured by our clan. How can we allow humans to trample him? First Elder, send out the troops!"
"I, Hu Lifu, am willing to lead the army to annihilate that Great Han Dynasty!"
Hu Lifu's expression was icy. Lian Jin had been sent into human territory under his command, and now he had perished. This debt had to be settled properly.
"First Elder, what wind is blowing from the Ancient Heavenly Fiend Palace?"
Second Elder Fan Cheng's voice suddenly lowered as he looked at Bo Xiang, the First Elder of the Primeval Mang Bull lineage, who was seated firmly in the center.
As Fan Cheng spoke, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone dared not make a sound, looking at Bo Xiang, who leaned on a cane, his fur entirely white. He was now the third most powerful figure in the Primeval Mang Bull lineage, a venerable existence in the seventh layer of the Creation Realm, having lived for tens of thousands of years!
Only a faint beat could be seen in his chest, his heart seeming weak, his breathing faint and shallow.
"I presume you have all heard about the matters in the Far North. The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body is no longer in human hands. By the order of the Desolate Lord, we are to withdraw our troops!"
A hoary voice drifted out faintly, causing the hall to suddenly drop in temperature, as if plunged into an ice cave.
"First Elder, this insult, our Primeval Mang Bull lineage must avenge. These humans are so presumptuous, daring to kill a Creation Realm expert of our Primeval Mang Bull lineage. This is a disgrace to our Primeval Mang Bull lineage!"
Hu Lifu's tone was full of indignation. They had finally found an opportunity to suppress the Snake Tail Great Serpent and Flame Python lineages, but unexpectedly lost a great general.
For the demonic beast clan, nurturing a Creation Realm expert required immense effort.
"Correct!"
"First Elder, the Desolate Lord ventured into the Far North. How could he possibly spare a thought for a mere human? The majesty of our Primeval Mang Bull lineage must not be compromised!"
Second Elder Fan Cheng, while appearing outwardly respectful, harbored discontent in his eyes.
First Elder Bo Xiang looked down at the furious individuals below, their eyes bloodshot. He too grieved for Lian Jin's demise, but how could he disobey the Desolate Lord's command? Su Dan Novel Network.
"First Elder!"
"First Elder!"
"The Ancestor's decree! March into human territory and uphold the supreme dignity of our Primeval Mang Bull lineage!"
At this moment, a disciple rushed in, holding a bull horn adorned with tribal patterns, indicating its identity.
"Boom!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down, their faces pressed against the ground.
"Since the Ancestor has spoken, Hu Lifu, you shall lead the Primeval army into human territory. The dignity lost by Lian Jin must be reclaimed!"
Bo Xiang swayed, leaning on his cane, his voice chilling. Though he was the First Elder of the Primeval Mang Bull lineage, most of the lineage's power was held by the Ancestor, with a small portion firmly grasped by the Clan Leader.
Nominal leadership.
The Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body in the Far North had drawn nearly all the top experts from the various desolate domains. A bloody battle was unfolding silently in the Sacred Land, capable of overturning the very structure of the Four Great Desolate Domains.
...
"Sister!"
"Sister!"
"Sister!"
"What's the panic? Your sister isn't dead yet. What's with all the shouting!"
Yun Tao sat cross-legged on a stone altar piled with white bones, shaking her head as she looked at the flustered and terrified Nian Ze in the distance.
"Sister, Third Elder, he... Third Elder..."
"What happened to Third Elder? Speak slowly!"
"Sister, Third Elder has perished!"
"What did you say?"
Yun Tao's expression turned cold instantly. She grabbed Nian Ze's arms, and waves of killing intent began to emanate from her.
"Did Third Elder truly perish in human territory?"
"Yes, Sister. I personally checked Third Elder's spiritual feather, and it has indeed withered!"
Nian Ze shook his head.
"Damn humans!"
"Third Elder is also a fool. A dignified Creation Realm expert, even if his lifespan was nearing its end, how could he fall into the hands of these vile humans? This... this is simply a disgrace to our Fire Crow lineage!"
"How can our Fire Crow lineage establish itself in the Primeval Desolate Domain!"
"How will the Fierce Yuan Bear, Scarlet Demon Dog, and Titan Serpent tribes view our Fire Crow lineage!"
"Humans, audacious!"
Yun Tao erupted in rage. Naturally a Fire Crow, scorching flames surged, the roaring inferno akin to the fury burning in her heart.
"Go, deploy the Fire Crow Army and annihilate human territory!"
"Sister... the Ancestor and Father are accompanying the Desolate Lord to the Far North of the Heavenly Fiend Desolate Domain. Sister, should this matter be discussed with the Grand Elder!"
Nian Ze dared not look up. His sister was deeply doted upon by the Fire Crow Ancestor, and this affection had only made her more arrogant. Even their father, the current Clan Leader of the Fire Crow, had to defer to his sister.
He knew these words would surely anger his sister, but as the young clan leader of the Fire Crow lineage, and the only son of the current clan leader, he had to speak.
"You are not to interfere in this matter. Immediately order the Second Elder to lead the Fire Crow Army and annihilate human territory."
"The honor of the Fire Crow lineage must not suffer even the slightest loss under my watch. As the Ancestor departed, so shall he return!"
Yun Tao's expression gradually stabilized, but the intense aura of bloody malevolence did not dissipate.
The Far North had drawn the Desolate Lords and numerous Fiend Ancestors, naturally rendering humans beneath the notice of the Four Desolate Lords. However, the less they were noticed, the more necessary it was to suppress this matter.
Such weak humans had caused the Fire Crow lineage, one of the four top powers in the Primeval Desolate Domain, to lose a Creation Realm expert, and the Third Elder at that.
If news of this spread, even if it wouldn't cause the Ancestor to lose his position among the Four Fiend Ancestors, it would surely incur the displeasure of the Heavenly Stone Desolate Lord towards the Fire Crows.
"The Fire Crow Army has not been deployed for a thousand years. After a millennium of nurturing, it is time to reveal its sharpness!"
Yun Tao slowly sat down, and the flames surrounding her were suddenly extinguished!
