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

Ye Feng shook his head and jokingly said, "Could it be that the senior was afraid that we would die alone, so he found so many people to be buried with us?"

When the words fell, everyone was shocked and confused.

Yun Tianze gave a bitter laugh and said helplessly, "The weakest ones are all at the Celestial Realm, and there are even quite a few Saint-level beings. With such a large scale, they actually buried us with them. That senior really took great pains."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the monks in the field changed.

They came back to their senses, their eyes filled with fear.

"What?" A saint immediately stepped forward and asked angrily, "What do you mean, young friend?"

Then, another cultivator whispered, "Senior Zhugezi is a literary saint with a noble character. How could he put us to death?"

Even in this bloody abyss, there are still monks who choose to believe in Zhuge Zi, believing that he would never do such a despicable thing.

After hearing the monks' explanations, Ye Feng sneered, "Yes, if it really was Senior Zhuge, he would not do such a mean thing."

He glanced at the monks who stood up to defend Zhuge Zi and said calmly, "But what if it wasn't Senior Zhuge Zi?"

These words exploded like thunder in the hearts of the monks.

Their gazes suddenly focused, as if everything had fallen silent.

"Isn't it Senior Zhugezi?"

"Who is that?"

In an instant, all the monks became extremely nervous.

They began to try hard to recall the details of what had just happened.

The more I think about it, the faster my heart beats.

Even cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

At this time, Ye Feng slowly turned around and looked at the dark and bloody space, as if he was recalling something.

"You all don't know, but actually, I came here more than ten days ago."

His voice was steady, as if he was describing a commonplace matter, but his words sounded like thunder in the ears of everyone.

"What?! You've already entered this place?"

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and doubts arose in their hearts.

Ye Feng nodded and said slowly: "At that time, I walked to the center of Wanquan City and found the remains of Senior Zhuge Zi..."

Before anyone could react, he spoke to himself, "Just as I was approaching the remains, the entire space suddenly changed, revealing a strange phenomenon, and you were drawn here by this phenomenon."

"So now, do you really still think that the person who just tested you was Senior Zhugezi?"

For a moment, the scene fell into deathly silence again.

But soon, a saint couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, then who was that person just now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng did not answer immediately, but raised his hand and a dark golden seal appeared in his palm.

The seal is simple and exudes a faint rhythm of literature and Taoism, as if it contains the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, which makes people feel awe.

"This is……?"

Everyone stared at the seal in Ye Feng's hand with wide eyes, as if they had thought of something.

Ye Feng said calmly: "This is exactly Senior Zhugezi's life-saving magic weapon, its name is - Hundred Saints Seal!"

"Hundred Saint Seals?!"

Hearing this name, everyone's expression changed drastically again.

This is not an ordinary magic weapon, but a treasure that Zhuge Zi used to suppress Wen Dao and establish Baisheng Academy three million years ago!

However, now, this magical weapon that represents the authority of Baisheng Academy actually appeared in Ye Feng's hands?!

Everyone was shocked and confused, and someone couldn't help asking, "What information did you get from this?"

Ye Feng's eyes were deep as he spoke slowly, "From the Hundred Saints Seal, I learned a piece of history that had been forgotten—the truth about the death of Senior Zhuge Zi."

Everyone held their breath and stared at Ye Feng, waiting for him to reveal the truth.

Ye Feng said in a deep voice, "Three million years ago, Senior Zhuge Zi left Baisheng Academy in despair and returned to his hometown - Wanquan City."

"He sat in meditation for years, his mindset broken and then rebuilt, gaining new insights that allowed him to reach the pinnacle of Great Sage, bringing him infinitely close to the Quasi-Emperor realm!"

"However, seemingly restricted by the incomplete laws of heaven and earth, he was never able to break through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Until one day, in order to break through and gain enough power to change that dark and chaotic era, he decided to try the 'Three Corpses Slashing' technique..."

"The technique of beheading three corpses?"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, their hearts trembling.

This is an extreme secret method passed down from ancient times.

Legend has it that when a monk reaches the pinnacle of cultivation, if he wants to go further, he can completely transcend and advance to a higher level by killing the "evil corpse", "good corpse" and "self corpse".

However, if you fail, your body will be destroyed and you will perish completely!

"Senior Zhugezi first killed the evil corpse, then the good corpse, both times with great success, and his cultivation level has further improved."

"But when he was about to kill the 'self-corpse', the evil corpse attacked him, causing him to fail at the last moment. He was severely injured and his life is numbered!"

"When he was dying, in order to prevent the evil corpse from wreaking havoc on the world, he used the entire Wanquan City as a formation, and then used the good corpse as the center of the formation, and used secret techniques to seal it."

"Later, in order to prevent his inheritance from being cut off, he hid his own heritage here and set up three tests to screen future generations."

"As far as I know, the one leading the test should be Senior Zhugezi's good corpse... But now it seems that the evil corpse has usurped this power through some special means."

After saying this, Ye Feng's eyes became sharp.

"Now, the evil corpse's purpose is obvious."

"Originally, under the restrictions of this place, the evil corpses cannot directly threaten our lives. They can only trap us here."

"But it can, through this trial, select someone who can inherit Zhuge Zi's legacy and gain control of Wanquan City. Then, through this person's hand, he can control Wanquan City, break the seal, and regain his freedom."

"And all of us are merely its pawns, waiting to be wiped out once it releases the seal and is no longer bound by the constraints of the rules!"

At this moment, the entire dark space fell into deathly silence.

All the monks' faces turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly.

Ye Feng's words kept echoing in their minds, and they really couldn't accept this cruel reality.

A celestial cultivator murmured, "Is there no way to break the impasse?"

Ye Feng shook his head, his tone heavy: "Good question, I want to know too, but given the current situation, I'm afraid there's no way."

After the words fell, the whole audience fell silent again.

Some people clenched their teeth, their fists turned white, and their nails almost dug into their palms.

Some people looked confused, their eyes gradually became dull, and they seemed to have begun to despair.

You know, that is the evil corpse of the Great Sage, the most powerful one!

Once they escape, who in the entire Central Region can stop them?

It's simply a world-destroying catastrophe!

"This... this is a dead end!"

A newly promoted celestial being's voice trembled, his throat seemed to be strangled, and he was filled with fear.

In despair, the figure of a person suddenly appeared in the minds of many people.

It was a young figure, wearing a black robe, with a calm expression and a steady demeanor.

——Jiang Beixuan!

The peerless genius who reached the top of the 100th step with the seventh level of the Heavenly Man Realm!

After a brief silence, someone couldn't help but shake their head in self-mockery, "What a joke! Even if Jiang Beixuan reaches the 100th step, so what? He's only at the seventh level of the Heavenly Man Realm after all... Can he turn the tide?"

"Indeed, even though he was unbeatable in the Dao Heart Trial, what he faces here is the evil corpse of a peak Great Sage... an existence that can wipe out the entire Central Region with a wave of its hand!"

"Alas, do you really think Jiang Beixuan is the Great Emperor?"

Some people smiled bitterly, some sighed.

Even though they had a vague unrealistic hope in their hearts, they still couldn't believe that Jiang Beixuan could turn the tide in this situation.

In the end, everyone took a deep breath and began to place all their hopes on the daughter of the Human Emperor in the outside world.

Perhaps only with the help of her double pupils can all this be saved!

............

Three days later.

Xuantian Realm, Youlan Wasteland.

Under Ling Xue's guidance, Jiang Yan and Jiang Hao finally arrived at their destination before the end of the trial.

Jiang Yan stood at the edge of the rift, squinting his eyes as he took in the scene before him.

Relying on the Emperor Flame Holy Body's powerful perception of fire power, he could clearly feel that an extremely powerful flame aura was lurking in the depths of the rift, emitting astonishing pressure.

The pressure was so strong that it even caused the Emperor Flame in his body to become a little restless!

After realizing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face, "Sure enough, it's here..."

Then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, released his perception, and his spiritual sense quickly swept across every inch of the rift.

Almost in an instant, I captured the breath from the depths.

The breath was steady and heavy, as if there were endless flames rolling in it, and mixed with a strange fluctuation.

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows, and his spiritual sense went deeper, and he found that the source of that breath was actually a powerful existence of the first level of Saint King!

Obviously, the other party did not go to see the Beast King like other Saint King-level beasts, but stayed where it was, guarding the Ice Phoenix Flame.

"However, this guy's condition seems to be a little bad..."

Jiang Yan muttered to himself, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

He keenly noticed that the breath was erratic and even a little weak.

"It seems that this is my chance."

Jiang Yan's heart trembled.

If you fight against a Saint King-level ferocious beast in its prime, even if you are only at the first level of Saint King, it will be very dangerous.

But if the opponent is weak, that's another matter...

At this moment, Ling Xue noticed something strange and asked curiously, "Master Yan, have you discovered anything?"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly. "Yes, the Ice Phoenix Flame is indeed inside. Besides that, there's also a Saint King Level 1 beast guarding this place. Fortunately, it seems to be in a bad state right now. Its aura is weak, as if it's been affected by something."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao couldn't help but interrupt, "Could it be that it failed to refine the Ice Phoenix Flame, causing a backlash?"

Jiang Yan smiled faintly: "It's very likely."

"If it had successfully refined the Ice Phoenix Flame completely, we would have no chance. But now, its state is unstable, which means its refining process is not going smoothly. As you said, it is even suffering a backlash... This is a good opportunity for us."

Jiang Hao licked the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with excitement: "Hey, Brother Yan, if that's the case, then what are we waiting for? Let's go down quickly and kill it while it's weak!"

Jiang Yan glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't be careless. Even if it's not in good condition, it's still a Saint King-level beast. If it strikes back, it will be no pushover."

Jiang Hao waved his hand, unconcerned: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

Then he turned to look at Ling Xue and the others and said in a deep voice, "Stay here and don't come near."

Ling Xue frowned slightly. Although she wanted to go up and help, she thought of her weak strength and realized that going up would only cause more trouble. So, she said softly, "Okay, you must be careful."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and stepped into the rift valley with Jiang Hao.

..........

at the same time.

Deep in the rift valley.

The scorching flames and the cold air intertwined to create a suffocating scene.

The temperature in the air fluctuated violently, and the surrounding rock walls were eroded by flames, cracking into long and thin cracks.

And in the shadows of these rock walls, a huge and ferocious beast was staring at the blue flames before it.

This ferocious beast was huge, with scales as hard as steel, and its eyes glowed scarlet.

The most eye-catching thing is that there are two huge wings made of flames on its back!

It is one of the strongest in this area.

His name: Flame Spirit Lord!

And now, its giant palm is reaching out to the floating blue flame - Ice Phoenix Flame!

"Ice Phoenix Flame," Flame Spirit Venerable's voice was low and hoarse, filled with endless resentment. "Don't you understand yet? Now that you're in my hands, there's no chance of escape..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Phoenix Flame vibrated slightly, as if in resistance.

Then, a cold female voice rang out from within the flames. It was cold but carried an unyielding majesty: "Give up! A beast that can't even control its own desires is unworthy of being my master."

The Flame Spirit Venerable was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter in anger: "Hahaha? I am a Saint King, how can I not be qualified to be the master of a flame?"

"Humph! I think you won't give up until the end!"

It raised its head and growled.

Then he stretched out his giant palm and headed straight for Ice Phoenix Flame!

The palm pressed down like a mountain, bringing up a wave of heat and fishy wind, as if tearing the air apart!

Upon seeing this, the Ice Phoenix Flame suddenly flashed with a blinding light.

It reacted quickly, controlling its power to form a barrier in front of it, blocking the palm strike from Lord Yan Ling.

Yan Lingzun roared angrily and immediately increased his strength, trying to tear the barrier apart.

However, the next moment, it felt a biting cold in its palm!

The originally scorching flame suddenly became extremely cold since some time ago, as if it could freeze the soul!

It shuddered all over and quickly withdrew its hand, only to find that the cold air was still spreading.

“Damn it!” Flame Spirit Lord roared, his voice filled with anger, “You… you little strange fire, how dare you resist me like this?!”
