Seeing this, Zhao Quan couldn't help but feel a bit angry. He shouted, "You should have no fear of death! The path of cultivation is inherently arduous. Without a firm belief, how can you become a strong person? You are already so afraid of a mere martial artist. With such a mentality, how can you become a powerful figure?"
There was an indescribable disappointment in his eyes.
After all, in his view, a martial artist should be fearless in his cultivation. If he knew that there was a predicament ahead, he would be timid and hesitant. How could such a person achieve great things or reach the peak?
At this moment, Zhao Liujia stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Great-grandfather is right. I am willing to be the vanguard and go to investigate."
"good."
Zhao Quan's aged face was covered with wrinkles, and when he smiled, it looked like a flower was tattooed on his face.
Yang Zhifeng said in a deep voice, "Don't act rashly. Let's wait until dawn tomorrow to discuss everything."
Looking at the pitch-black night, everyone realized that it was still dark.
However, during this one night, they had already undergone earth-shattering changes. Their Cangyu Holy Land had changed its Holy Lord several times, and several Saints had died mysteriously.
Undoubtedly, the fall of these saints was an extremely heavy blow to the Cangyu Holy Land, which had a profound foundation.
The ancestor had spoken, and no one dared to disobey. Zhao Liujia's restless heart gradually calmed down.
Everyone sat around inside the ancestral hall. Those who didn't have chairs sat on the ground. Before dawn, no one dared to leave the ancestral hall.
Only under the protection of their ancestors can these people feel a moment of peace of mind.
It's about a few hundred meters outside the ancestral hall.
Fang Yun was sitting cross-legged at that moment, looking in that direction.
Even for him, it would take considerable effort to force his way in, and there might even be casualties, which was definitely not something he wanted to see.
Therefore, after consulting with Zhou Mu, they temporarily halted their actions and waited for an opportunity.
Dawn broke quickly.
As dawn broke, the entire Desolate Heaven Domain was thrown into shock.
The deaths of Yang Yunjie, Yang Qiu, and Yang Hao were quickly leaked out under the manipulation of certain individuals.
Everyone already knew about Yang Yunjie's death.
But what they didn't expect was that, overnight, both the Holy Lord Yang Qiu and the second successor Yang Hao died mysteriously.
It is said that Yang Qiu was assassinated silently under the protection of a sage, while Yang Hao was assassinated inside the Cangyu Holy Land.
It is said that when Yang Hao died, even his ancestor Yang Zhifeng was unaware of it.
Without a doubt, this was an extremely shocking event for the entire Desolate Heaven Domain.
At this moment, almost all the forces in the Desolate Heaven Domain turned their attention to the Azure Feather Holy Land and the Heavenly Inquiry Tower behind it.
At the same time, a chill rose in everyone's mind.
At this moment, they all thought of the so-called joke that Wentianlou had made earlier. At the time, they had taken it as a joke, but now it seemed that the so-called joke was about to come true.
Sword God Temple
Inside the study, Zhang Tianjian's brows furrowed slowly upon hearing the guard's report. He interrupted the guard, raising his head and saying, "Wait, are you saying that Yang Qiu died right under the Sage's nose?"
If what happened before was still within reason, then this time, it really surprised him.
He understood better than anyone what the sage's close protection meant. Even if the sage was no match for the opponent, at least saving people's lives was not a big problem.
Throughout the entire assassination attempt, from beginning to end until the assassination was completed, the saint did not react at all, which means that the assassin's cultivation level was far higher than that of the saint from the Cangyu Holy Land.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
The guard nodded and said softly, "It's true."
Zhang Tianjian took a deep breath, waved his hand weakly, and after the guards withdrew, he leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowed.
It seems that ever since Zhou Mu first showed his talent, the Desolate Heaven Domain has become almost unfamiliar to him. The situation has far exceeded his control, and it is likely that his title as the uncrowned king will change hands soon.
At this moment, a person pushed open the door and walked in. He did not knock. After entering, he turned around, slowly closed the door, and then walked straight to Zhang Tianjian.
"What is it?" Zhang Tianjian's expression had returned to normal by now.
The visitor was Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng said in surprise, "Palace Master, do you know? Chen Tai'a has made a move."
"Chen Tai'a, isn't this the action from Wentianlou?"
Now it was Zhang Tianjian's turn to be somewhat surprised.
Zhang Heng said with a solemn expression, "How could Zhou Mu have such ability? It was all done by Chen Tai'a. I think he might be trying to do Zhou Mu a favor."
That makes sense.
Zhang Tianjian's expression gradually softened, but he still felt that things were not that simple.
After a long silence, he sighed, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about the present. People from the Divine Realm have come again, saying they want to discuss the wedding date with me. They are waiting in the main hall. Should I... go?"
Zhang Heng straightened his back.
A glint of light flashed in his dark eyes. He paused for a moment, then said softly, "The Divine Realm's intention this time is to issue an ultimatum. The implication is that if the Sword God Temple continues to be ungrateful, then it's time to learn its lesson."
Zhang Tianjian said with a wry smile, "How could I not know all this..."
"By the way, where did Ling'er go?"
Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment before looking at Zhang Tianjian and saying, "At Qingyun Peak..."
"Where is Qingyun Peak..." Zhang Tianjian was stunned for a long time. It seemed that Zhou Mu's residence was on Qingyun Peak.
"What is she doing there? Looking for Zhou Mu? Could it be that this girl has taken a liking to Zhou Mu? Impossible, with her proud and arrogant personality, how could she possibly be interested in Zhou Mu?"
At this moment, Zhang Heng was utterly speechless.
It has to be said that Zhang Tianjian has a truly wild imagination.
He only said one sentence, but Zhang Tianjian wished he could arrange Zhang Ling'er's funeral arrangements.
After Zhang Tianjian finished speaking, he said, "As far as I know, Miss seems to be best friends with Ye Mujiu."
"Really?" Zhang Tianjian frowned upon hearing this. "Then why didn't Ye Mujiu plead with Zhang Ling'er when I attacked Zhongzhou earlier?"
"She... was about to speak, but I stopped her before she could see Miss."
Zhang Hengdao.
"Foolish." Zhang Tianjian's expression changed slightly. "No wonder Ling'er's mood has been off these past few days. It turns out you've been the one interfering."
"It was a petty person who overstepped their bounds."
Zhang Heng knelt down with a thud, his body ramrod straight.
Although it was an overstep, he showed no remorse whatsoever.
After all, he knew that if Zhang Ling'er brought it up, Zhang Tianjian, who doted on his daughter, would inevitably change his mind, and his years of planning would be in vain. That would be a situation he absolutely did not want to see.
