Heavenly Sword Holy Land
Nestled amidst a range of peaks, shrouded in ethereal mist, verdant greenery, swaying willows, and the occasional melodious chirping of birds echoes through the air.
Nestled among the peaks is a verdant bamboo pavilion, square and quite spacious, with ancient divine patterns carved on the surrounding stone pillars. Anyone who were here would surely be drawn to those ancient patterns.
Because those ancient divine patterns seemed to be formed from the laws of heaven and earth, containing infinite Daoist charm.
In the center of the bamboo pavilion, a refined middle-aged man held a tattered page in his hands, staring intently at it as if trying to comprehend the profound truths of the universe.
Ru Jianzun seemed to see a Confucian and Taoist sage traveling the world, experiencing the myriad aspects of life.
The Confucian Sword Master, on the other hand, is a disciple of a sage, who follows the sage to travel throughout the heavens and spread his teachings across the myriad worlds.
"Click"
Just as the Confucian Sword Master was still engrossed in comprehending the way of the sages, the tattered page in his hand turned into wisps of dust and drifted away in the wind.
As the sun was about to set, the Confucian Sword Master looked at his now empty palm with a complicated expression, then straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully towards the distant east.
Although this is just a fragment, the principles it contains far exceed its monetary value.
Moreover, it contains the supreme opportunity to personally listen to the teachings of sages while standing beside them, an opportunity that would make any force break its head.
If the Divine Wilderness Academy finds out, they'll probably be furious.
"The Underworld, the Heaven and Earth Auction!"
At this moment, the Confucian Sword Master increasingly realized the unfathomable depths of the Underworld.
Such an incredible opportunity was simply presented to them without warning.
At the same time, he secretly vowed that his Heavenly Sword Holy Land would fight with all its might at the next Heaven and Earth Auction!
Although it is unknown why the underworld would be willing to exchange such precious items for spirit stones and divine resources.
But that wasn't on his radar.
"What? The Golden-Winged Roc clan has been wiped out?"
A look of astonishment flashed across the face of the Confucian Sword Master.
But soon he pulled out an ancient-looking token and disappeared from the spot.
......
In a mysterious space shrouded in chaotic energy.
Inside the palace, more than ten figures were already facing off, their swords drawn.
"Your Divine Wilderness Dao Domain has annihilated the Golden-Winged Roc clan, the royal family of my demon race, without cause. Do you intend to start a war with my demon race?"
At that moment, a fierce figure roared angrily at several figures on the other side.
The one who spoke was the Great Elder of the Azure Sky White Tiger Clan, a terrifying existence at the peak of Quasi-Saint. In his youth, he had competed with human prodigies and devoured hundreds of them, earning him a fearsome reputation.
A grotesque white tiger phantom gazed menacingly in all directions, its terrifying aura of slaughter causing even the chaotic energy to tremble.
The illusory figure opposite him remained unmoved, simply saying calmly.
"If we're talking about this conflict, it was your Golden-Winged Roc clan of the demon race that started it. My human race was only forced to retaliate. Who would have thought that your demon race's so-called top royal family would be so easily defeated?"
"It was wiped out by other forces in a single day."
"According to your demon race's logic, if the weak provoke the strong, isn't it their own fault for being wiped out?"
In response to the human forces' questioning, a clear, cold female voice from the demon race countered.
"Your human forces auctioned off my demon race's pure-blooded cubs first. This is an utter disgrace to my demon race. What's wrong with the Golden-Winged Roc clan seeking justice?"
Upon hearing this, the humans all laughed.
"My human race neither stole nor robbed. How could those scruffy birds possibly breed a pure-blooded Golden-Winged Roc? Qingming, do you even believe that yourself?"
"The Golden-Winged Roc clan wanted to seize the achievements of our human race, but they were too weak and were wiped out. They deserved it."
From the ancient times to the present, there have been some shady dealings in the decline of the Golden-Winged Roc clan. Do these people really think that the human race is completely unaware of these things?
"Your human race must eventually give an explanation regarding the Golden-Winged Roc clan, otherwise many forces within my demon race will also be quite worried."
An aged voice rang out from among the demons.
"Hehe, if they have any complaints, let them come to my Divine Wilderness Dao Domain."
"Especially you old bastard, if you're not satisfied, come to the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain and let's have a go."
From the direction of the human race, a divine light rose, and the newcomer spoke domineeringly, seemingly showing great disdain for the ancient royal family.
"Sword Master Confucianism, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the aged voice clearly lost its composure, its tone filled with rage.
"Hehe, if it weren't for your tough turtle shell fifty years ago, I would have slaughtered you and made soup long ago."
"What's wrong? You just escaped death, and now you're starting to act all smug again?"
At this moment, the Confucian Sword Master showed no trace of Confucian elegance, and he had no need for any so-called gentlemanly demeanor towards the demon race.
You disagree?
Then let's just fight our way to the top!
Then, the Confucian Sword Master calmly addressed the numerous demons.
"The Golden-Winged Roc clan was wiped out by our human race. If you want trouble, come to the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain."
"The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is an immutable law."
"The Golden-Winged Roc clan wasn't strong enough; they deserved to be wiped out."
"They've been running rampant in my Divine Wilderness Dao Domain all day long. How many sects and beings of my human race have been wiped out by them? It's more than a hundred million!"
"However, our human race did not directly attack the Golden-Winged Roc clan because of this."
"Now that you demons want to reignite the conflict, my human race will not back down. If you want to fight, then come on. Why be so wishy-washy and make up some baseless excuses?"
As Ru Jianzun spoke, the other human powerhouses did not hesitate, and even the Ba Dao Holy Land, which had always been at odds with the Tian Jian Holy Land, chose to stand by Ru Jianzun's side without hesitation.
"If the demon race wants war, then let them fight. Our human race will not be afraid."
"Although the strength of my Divine Wilderness Dao Domain is not great, if we wanted to, we could still annihilate a royal family."
"Let's fight! Stop dawdling! My sword is itching for a fight!"
Faced with such a united group of forces, the demon race remained silent.
Whether the Golden-Winged Roc clan has perished or not has little to do with them.
They just want to use this as an excuse to test the human race and, incidentally, sow discord among the major human powers.
The rise of new forces will inevitably encroach on the interests of other forces, not to mention top forces like the Underworld.
However, to the surprise of the other royal families of the demon race, the Confucian Sword Master and the major forces of the human race were acting out of character, taking such a tough stance and threatening to start a war with the demon race at the drop of a hat.
This is not what the demon race wants to see.
"Alright, let's drop the matter concerning the Golden-Winged Roc clan."
From the direction of the demon race, a phantom of a five-clawed golden dragon appeared, its terrifying aura suppressing all directions.
Faced with the words of the powerful dragon clan, many demons followed suit, and the humans did not press the matter further.
Soon, the space was empty.
