Chapter 1500: Chapter 1153: The Missing Old Zhu! The Earth-Shattering Yidao!

"Where is this person sneaking off to?"

"If it’s not a secret, why would this person be sneaky? And if it truly is a secret, why would they tell you?"

Thus when the Fourth Master detailed the personnel movements of the God-searching Palace and the collaboration between the Eternal Life God and the Purple Robe Scripture King, Jiang Dali sensed something strange and eerie.

First, the intelligence capability of Xuanhua is extraordinarily strong, as it could even clearly investigate many secrets of the God-searching Palace, indicating that Xuanhua likely has a Dark Pile within the palace.

But the fact that they even know about the collaboration between the Purple Robe Scripture King and the Eternal Life God means the Dark Pile’s status within the God-searching Palace is definitely not low. If it were too low, it would be difficult to obtain such detailed intelligence.

Conversely, if Xuanhua didn’t have a high-ranking Dark Pile in the God-searching Palace and could still obtain such detailed intelligence, the truth of the matter would be quite intriguing...

Jiang Dali originally intended to leave the Holy Tomb and head to the Divine Martial Country, and after hearing what the Fourth Master said, he was even more inclined to go there immediately.

However, since the other party came to invite him to leave, he couldn’t show eagerness; otherwise, he’d appear agreeable, and next time they might attempt to persuade him away again, adding trouble.

"The intelligence you’ve provided, whether it’s true or not is still up for debate. You think you can get me to leave with just a few words, ha ha ha..."

Jiang Dali shook his head, furrowing his thick eyebrows, indicating it’s not so easy to make him leave.

The Fourth Master on the tomb top cursed under his breath as a hassle. Unable to contain his anger and impatience, he said in a deep voice, "I have tolerated many things and kindly reminded you of intelligence regarding the God-searching Palace. You don’t appreciate it, but now your actions suggest you really want to be enemies with Xuanhua?"

Jiang Dali sneered lightly and said, "I, Jiang Dali, am someone who yields to soft, not hard tactics. You say I want to be enemies with Xuanhua, first think of whether you’re willing to be enemies with me. Otherwise, why did your Great Master send you to persuade me, instead of driving me away personally?"

Turning his words, Jiang Dali continued before the Fourth Master could speak, "Alright! I’ve seen your sincerity. I will leave, but I need half a day. After half a day, I will leave."

"Half a day..."

The Fourth Master pondered for a moment, recalling what he observed yesterday and learned from others, his expression becoming strange.

"An Abnormal Person told me that the Black Wind Village Chief believes the Guardian Tomb Sculptures within the Holy Tomb are all infected by evil, so he wants to purify them personally, and gathered them to assist in the purification...

This brute, doesn’t he know that the Guardian Tomb Sculptures in the Holy Tomb are called Guardian Tomb Sculptures because many sect experts of our country are buried within, and over time due to the earth’s veins and Mingyun Crystal’s influence, they gradually become affected by the remaining spiritual obsessions of deceased strong individuals, freely moving and attacking outsiders?

It’s because of this that they’re called Guardian Tomb Sculptures, otherwise are they truly just immobile stone carvings guarding the tomb?"

"So, his desire to stay another half day is simply to destroy these sculptures?"

The Fourth Master’s heart was overwhelmed with speechless frustration, feeling like he had encountered a madman.

But given the current situation, he’s already said everything he could, and since he couldn’t persuade the other to leave and certainly couldn’t act with his strength, Sun Ren Tian Yin serves as a precedent.

Considering the most crucial Orochi has already been hit with disaster within the Holy Tomb, even if these Guardian Tomb Sculptures are destroyed, it doesn’t seem too significant. Those sects with heroic spirits buried there aren’t eager to emerge, not even the Emperor has intervened. Why should he act? As long as he can persuade this Evil Star to leave, enduring a bit more wouldn’t matter.

Realizing this, the Fourth Master cupped his fists towards Jiang Dali below and then used his legs to kick and spring off the rock wall, his figure shooting outward.

"I hope Lord Hei Feng keeps his word and leaves in half a day!"

Jiang Dali watched the other’s figure disappear in the passage like Gecko Wall Climbing, pondering for a moment, then glanced at the Heart Shadow Stone Carvings around him, chuckling.

"Half a day is enough to clear this place; the Demon Dragon should have eaten quite enough too. I only said I would leave in half a day, not that I won’t return in the future..."

With a long saber drawn, Jiang Dali charged towards more Heart Shadow Stone Carvings, continuing the Tri-element Demise Slash, sweeping through the entire Holy Tomb.

Now, the Heavenly Reversing Divine Intent Saber is at the 8th Realm, at the level of Divine Transformation, just waiting for breakthrough to the 9th Realm Returning to Nature to integrate various saber skills into one, drastically improving the Sword Dao Realm, and comprehending Bronze Blade Energy, greatly increasing lethality.

Meanwhile, the Demon Dragon entered the Inner Mausoleum yesterday, consuming the Orochi’s body. Presumably, devouring parts of such a Divine Beast will also reinforce the Demon Dragon’s strength.

...

After half a day, a ferocious dragon roar suddenly erupted from the Holy Tomb’s Gate, followed by a giant dragon with a body almost black-green surging outward from within the tomb, radiating awe-inspiring pressure, charging straight into the Heavenly Vault.

Jiang Dali stood proudly, half crouched atop the dragon’s back, grasping the terrifying bone spikes extending from the Demon Dragon’s spine for support, as he disappeared into the view of numerous Players and Martial World people observing from afar.

"That Evil Star has finally left..."

A group of Ying Country Clan experts gathered in a dense forest at a mountain hollow not far away, watching the immense figure passing like a dark cloud overhead, all sighing in relief as their long-held tension eased, then looking towards the Holy Tomb, many faces darkened slightly.

"Those reckless Abnormal People are still disturbing our ancestors’ spirits in the Holy Tomb, truly unforgivable!"

"Kill them all!"

"No! Killing them would be letting them off easy; capture them all, bring them back to the clan, subject them to execution, only then can we make an example to deter future transgressions!"

"Right!"

Whizz——

Agile figures quickly launched out from the forest, full of murderous intent, forcing toward the Holy Tomb.

Inside the Holy Tomb, many Players were cursing and leaving, while few stubbornly searched the tomb for possibly overlooked Heart Shadow Stone carvings or valuable burial items.

"The Black Wind Village Chief is too ruthless, so many Heart Shadow Stone Carvings, all destroyed by him; we among so many people only consumed less than one-tenth. With this, what help do we offer anyway?"

"Ah! Honestly, being one-tenth is good enough, but unfortunately, the ones profiting are always those strong experts. We, in the Bursting Energy Realm, can’t even sustain a single round against the Heart Shadow Stone Sculpture, let alone effectively resist to gain Martial Arts Proficiency."

"Right! I feel like I’m losing out by participating in this mission. Not only did I not earn anything, but I died once, and spent Cultivation Points and Potential Points to learn ’Iron Cloth Shirt’. I’m just not used to Cross Training Martial Arts."

"Forget it, forget it! It’s all about participation in the mission. Mainly as long as the Grandmaster is happy, we underlings..."

Before finishing the sentence, several Hidden Weapons suddenly hurled from the forest opposite, instantly taking the lives of several Players.

In an instant, white light accompanied by screams began to erupt at the Holy Tomb site, causing Players to be utterly shocked and to quickly assume defensive positions.

The sect warriors who rushed out from the forest began blaming each other.

"Didn’t I say to capture them alive for severe punishment? Why kill them and let them escape?!"

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn’t hold back. I didn’t expect these Abnormal People to be so fragile."

"Later, be gentler. Catch them alive, kill one to warn a hundred!"

"Kill!"

The Ying Country sect warriors rushed out like wolves and tigers, sword lights and saber shadows exploded at the Holy Tomb entrance, drawing curses from the Players.

"You son of a bitch! You don’t dare make moves when the Grandmaster is here. Once the Grandmaster is gone, you start sneaky attacks!"

"Not good! They’re capturing us alive!"

"Brothers, don’t let these beasts succeed, quickly commit suicide, inform the inside brothers to do the same! We Eight Desolate Disciples are loyal and staunch, we’d rather die than surrender!"

...

High up in the sky, Jiang Dali, flying swiftly on the dragon, observed the forum’s situation at the Holy Tomb and shook his head slightly, already anticipating such a result.

Before leaving the Holy Tomb, he was aware that once he left, the numerous sect warriors of Ying Country waiting outside would certainly expel the many Players still inside the Holy Tomb. Such deadly attacks were considered mild.

This scene vividly mirrored a pack of foreign wolves harvesting, and with him, the main force gone, those left behind were doomed.

Therefore, before leaving, he reminded the many Players inside the Holy Tomb that the mission was over, the Heart Shadow Stone Sculptures were all destroyed, and everyone could disperse.

Unfortunately, human nature is greedy, and even with such a reminder, some Players stayed due to the burial goods inside the Holy Tomb and a fluke mentality, failing to retreat in time, thus getting cornered by the sect warriors.

It’s just hoped that this setback won’t dampen these Players’ interest in other Holy Tombs, and they’ll continue to follow the bait he left, actively exploring other tombs.

However, for now, he doesn’t have the time or energy to linger in Ying Country, nor does he have time to retrieve the immense treasures buried within No God Absolute Palace.

Simply because some posts have emerged on the forum regarding Nie Renwang going berserk, causing massacres across the Martial World.

With the situation as it is, Jiang Dali must head immediately to Divine Martial Country to pull Nie Renwang back from the brink of becoming a killing machine.

Furthermore, Zhu Wushi’s whereabouts also cause him concern and confusion.

Since the battle at Unrivaled City, nearly two days have passed, and the specific details of that battle have been actively examined by Players and published on the forum.

Currently, Unrivaled City has mostly turned into ruins within the Inner City, Yan Ying is dead, Dugu Yifang reportedly died at Nie Renwang’s hands, and neither Zhu Wushi nor Purple Robe Scripture King has been seen.

With Unrivaled City now leaderless, many former members, led by the First Guardian Shi Wuzun, have fled in panic to avoid the pursuit of the Ice Emperor, Divine Mother, and others.

According to several Players present outside Unrivaled City, at the climax of the battle, a shocking Saber Qi suddenly appeared, shattering two Tornadoes and then vanishing simultaneously, ending that dreadful fight.

"A shocking Saber Qi appeared, destroying the Absorption Energy Field created by Purple Robe Scripture King and Old Zhu, and all three disappeared together...who possesses such formidable power?"

Jiang Dali pondered over the comments left by Players in the forum posts, frustrated by the lack of footage depicting the astonishing state of that Saber Qi. He could not witness the condition firsthand.

Even with his foresight, he speculates that even he, at full force, would find it difficult to simultaneously break the Absorption Energy Field created by Purple Robe Scripture King and Zhu Wushi.

Thus, the strength of the one who executed that strike is undoubtedly terrifying and formidable.

Why did the person suddenly act?

To assist Purple Robe Scripture King against Zhu Wushi?

Or to help Zhu Wushi against Purple Robe Scripture King?

Perhaps just to stop the battle altogether...

This all remains a mystery for now, needing an on-site investigation to uncover clues...
