My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

A celestial being said anxiously: "Ancestor, we don't want to retreat, but the Central Region Saint King is simply unshakable!"

"We in the Southern Region don't even have a Saint, so how can we compete with the Central Region's unfathomable depths?"

When the others heard this, they all looked worried and the atmosphere became depressing for a moment.

However, Wang Yao wasn't the least bit angry. Instead, he chuckled, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding edge. "So what if he's the Saint King? To do it knowing you can't win is a form of great courage!"

"Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, we cultivators will never bow to the Central Region!"

After saying this, Wang Yao smiled faintly: "Besides, who said there are no saints in my Southern Region!"

The leader of Liuhuo Sect was shocked: "Ancestor, have you already..."

Wang Yao said casually: "Now, I am not a saint yet."

"But when the Central Territory Saint King arrives, I'll make them understand that the Southern Territory is not such an easy nut to crack!"

At this point, his voice suddenly turned cold, and a strong murderous intent suddenly burst out.

That is the fearless spirit of disregarding life and death!

The leader of Liuhuo Sect seemed to have thought of something and his expression was complicated.

"It seems that you are still planning to use the thing left by the ancestor..."

When everyone heard this, their expressions became complicated.

It turned out that before his death, the founder of Liuhuo had poured all his energy, spirit and true spirit into a stone bead. If someone took it in a desperate situation, they would be able to instantly burst out with combat power comparable to the first level of the Great Saint Realm.

However, the duration of this power is extremely short, and the body of the user will collapse as a result, and his true soul will be destroyed, with no chance of reincarnation.

After hearing this, everyone looked heavy.

The price is too high, almost exchanging life for life!

"Ancestor..." A powerful celestial being was speechless, his heart full of admiration and shame.

However, Wang Yao remained calm and unwavering.

His eyes were as firm as iron: "Back then, our ancestor protected the Southern Region with his own body. Today, I will use my last bit of strength to protect the Southern Region."

"Although the strength of the Central Region is a major trend, the bloodiness of the Southern Region will never be extinguished!"

He then looked at everyone with a piercing gaze, his voice resolute: "My Liuhuo Sect will fight to the death and will not retreat!"

At this moment, everyone's blood seemed to be burning.

Endless fighting spirit was aroused in their hearts.

Even if the future war situation is dangerous, they are determined to live and die with the Southern Territory!

"Pass my order and gather all the major forces in the Southern Region!"

"War and peace are decided by them."

"But no matter what, my Liuhuo Sect will defend the Southern Region to the death and will never retreat!"

"We will never retreat until we die!" Inside the Liuhuo Sect's main hall, everyone responded in unison, their voices shaking like thunder.

The flaming oath echoed throughout the world, reflecting the unyielding spirit of the Southern Territory cultivators who were not afraid of life or death!

Their ancestors once protected their homeland with their lives.

And they will also face this catastrophe with the same determination!

At the same time, it’s not just the Southern Region.

Although many cultivators in the East, West and North regions were in difficult situations, they all showed firm beliefs!

The inheritance of their ancestors is like a fire in their hearts that will never go out!

This battle is not only a contest of power and interests, but also a fight to the death to protect the ancestral foundation and inherit the honor!

........

Shortly after.

Chiyan Dynasty.

A side hall in the Red Emperor Palace.

Crown Prince Ji Xiutian was standing with his hands behind his back, looking out the window with deep eyes.

"Brother, brother, how did your challenge to Jiang Yan in Cangwu Mountain go?" Ji Xiuping beside him suddenly spoke up, his face full of anticipation. "How was it? Did you win?"

Ji Xiutian shook his head and said calmly, "Defeated in one move."

???

Ji Xiuping looked shocked.

"One move? Oh my god, brother, are you that bad?"

"Thinking back to when I was defeated by Jiang Yan on Cangwu Mountain, I was able to hold my own for several moves. Alas, I never thought you would..."

Ji Xiutian frowned when he heard this.

Just as he was about to tell his foolish brother to shut up, Ji Xiuping showed curiosity and asked, "What about your strange fire? Did you lose the heavenly-grade strange fire that our father bestowed upon you to Jiang Yan?"

Although a long time has passed, he still remembers it clearly. His good brother once said that he would use the top-grade heavenly fire in his hand as a bet to fight with Jiang Yan.

Ji Xiutian still shook his head: "No."

Ji Xiuping looked at him for a few times, his face full of confusion: "That's not right, brother, you are not afraid to admit your loss and regret it, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiutian's mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at his brother unhappily: "I lost fairly and squarely, there's no need to regret it."

He paused and continued, "Jiang Yan knew it was not easy for me to obtain this strange fire. He did not ask for it for the sake of the Young Emperor and our father..."

Emperor Yan: What? Only a top-grade Heavenly Rank? This kind of trash, please don't touch me, I'm afraid that Holy Fire Sister will misunderstand~

Ji Xiuping curled his lips, looking dissatisfied. "Why?! I lost to him and had four of my Earth-grade Ultimate Flames and one of my Heaven-grade Intermediate Flames taken away from me. After I came back, you even scolded me. Ahhhh, why didn't he just attack you? I can't understand it, I really can't understand it!"

Ji Xiutian smiled and said jokingly, "Who told you to be so arrogant back then, insisting on wanting that Heavenly Grade Superior Flame in his hand?"

"Jiang Yan is the younger brother of the Young Emperor. Countless geniuses have been defeated by him, and you still dare to challenge him?"

"Hmph, I should have known I shouldn't have gone there!" Ji Xiuping's face was full of depression, but in his heart he was secretly somewhat relieved: "However, my father has surrendered to the Cang Emperor, so we will be considered Cang Ling's people from now on."

"And Cang Ling and Cang Wu are a family."

"So, to some extent, we are now considered to be one of the same people as the Young Emperor."

"Hey, it's great that I don't have to face these scary guys anymore."

"Don't be too happy." Ji Xiutian glanced at him calmly. "Jiang Yan is just the Young Emperor's cousin, and he's so strong. How can you imagine the Young Emperor himself?"

"Are you sure you still want to target the Young Emperor?"

When Ji Xiuping heard the word "Young Emperor", a hint of longing flashed in his eyes: "Yes, the Young Emperor must be even more amazing!"

"Brother, you've seen him before. Tell me, how strong is the Young Emperor? What happened when he defeated you?"

Ji Xiutian's expression changed slightly and he was silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Ji Xiuping rubbed his hands and said, "Brother, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

Ji Xiutian felt somewhat helpless under his urging. After a moment of thought, he finally sighed and continued, "That battle was truly unforgettable."

"At that time, the Young Emperor wasn't as famous as he is now."

"Although he is young, his strength has far surpassed all the geniuses of his generation."

"I was full of confidence, thinking that with my Heavenly Grade Supreme Flame, I could fight him, but I didn't expect... everything would be in vain in front of the Young Emperor."
