Chapter 1000 994: Ambush
After two days of rest.
Qin Wudao returned to the Qin Dynasty Immortal Court with Mencius and Qu Yuan; it had been a long time since they left.
After the three left, in a certain Profound Level academy peak, a mentor, who was publicly declared to be in seclusion, curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Lian Tianying, Lian Tianying, you idiot!"
"When we embarked on this path, we could no longer turn back, yet you waver between the human race and the myriad clans; how laughable!"
"No wonder you died. It's just a pity for the resources wasted on you..."
The mentor muttered to himself, eyes filled with madness.
"The unfinished task of yours, I will complete it!"
"Being able to kill the Human Race's Zuwei Emperor Star, I, Cang Mu, haven't lived in vain!"
A low beastly roar echoed in the secret chamber, full of intense killing intent, making the void shatter.
His name was Xian Mu.
A hidden agent of the "Brocade" organization; not even Lian Tianying knew his identity.
...
The Hall of All Clans.
Brocade Headquarters.
"Qin Wudao, you finally appeared!"
In the grand hall shrouded with venomous aura, Jiu Jiang sat at the top, revealing a cold smile as he looked at the intelligence in his hand.
"Someone, assemble the Human Division!"
Without hesitation, Jiu Jiang stood up, and eight snake heads emerged from behind, flicking their tongues. Eight pairs of scarlet snake eyes were filled with venomous air, icy and ruthless.
Human Division!
The core department of "Brocade," entirely composed of human strong practitioners, with the lowest cultivation level reaching Immortal King stage, serving as the sharp blade in his hand.
"As you command!"
In the darkness, a strong human practitioner appeared, knelt to salute, and gradually faded away.
Soon after, figure after figure walked into the grand hall, totaling one hundred, all wearing black robes, with cold, indifferent gazes, and extremely murderous expressions.
They were warriors from hell!
They were death soldiers with no self-awareness!
"Depart!"
Without any more words, Jiu Jiang shifted to his real form and rode on a demon cloud, flying out of the Hall of All Clans.
A hundred strong practitioners from the Human Division followed, possibly knowing they were going to kill. Their eyes turned red, enveloped in killing intent, dreadful like an endless hell.
...
Taishang Dynasty.
Juxu Mountain.
Under the leadership of Huyan Lin, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who completed the loyalty test, walked into the resplendent palace.
"Wait here!"
Upon reaching outside the main hall, Huyan Lin told Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, then pushed open the door and entered.
In the grand hall, the Taishang Emperor sat cross-legged, eyes closed in cultivation, with a hazy figure behind him, exuding a terrifying aura, as if independent of time and space.
"How did it go?"
Sensing someone enter, the Taishang Emperor opened his eyes and asked.
"Your Majesty, they passed perfectly. Their hearts are completely dedicated to Your Majesty!"
Huyan Lin bowed, reporting with a smile.
"Good!"
"Let them in!"
The Taishang Emperor nodded, finally assured of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's absolute loyalty, and his suspended heart finally relaxed.
Huyan Lin bowed and slowly exited the grand hall, solemnly advising Chen Sheng and Wu Guang: "Go in now, and be clever when you meet His Majesty. This is your chance to rise to the top!"
"Rest assured, Officer!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang nodded, saluted Huyan Lin, and strode into the grand hall.
"Two lucky little guys!"
Huyan Lin watched their backs with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Afterward, he didn't wait for them to emerge but leisurely left the palace with his hands behind his back.
"This humble subject, Chen Sheng, pays respects to Your Majesty!"
"This humble subject, Wu Guang, pays respects to Your Majesty!"
In the main hall, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang kneeled on the ground, respectfully saluting.
"Rise!"
The Taishang Emperor waved his hands, releasing a gentle force to lift them, speaking in a deep voice: "Follow me!"
As he spoke.
The Taishang Emperor flew towards the depths of Juxu Mountain.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang followed behind and finally landed in front of a deep cave.
"In this cave lies a legacy from a human ancestor, and your task is to bring back the legacy!"
"Complete this task, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory, and could even become kings with different surnames!"
The Taishang Emperor pointed to the deep cave and said.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang remained silent, listening intently.
"Remember, only the two of you can know about this. If it leaks, you will die!"
The Taishang Emperor looked at them with cold eyes, an imposing pressure of an Immortal Reverent exploding, shaking the firmament, speaking coldly.
Without any defense, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were pressed onto the ground.
At that moment, they felt like a small boat sailing in turbulent waves, at risk of being overturned at any moment, overwhelming them with a feeling of powerlessness.
This feeling displeased them greatly.
But to gain trust, they could only submit, quickly promising: "Rest assured, Your Majesty, from now on, we will be Your Majesty's hounds!"
"Very good!"
The Taishang Emperor was very pleased with their attitude, slowly retracting his presence, speaking authoritatively: "Go in! If you yield results, you will no longer be commoners but Imperial Guard Generals!"
Mastering the art of ruling is a fundamental skill for emperors.
The Taishang Emperor, of course, was proficient.
"As you command!"
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose, walking toward the deep cave under the gaze of the Taishang Emperor, smoothly passing through the barrier, disappearing into the darkness.
"Success!"
The Taishang Emperor was overjoyed, then frowned, plagued by suspicion, worried that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang might succumb to temptation, hiding the legacy, or harbor other intentions.
"I hope you two are sensible, otherwise..."
The Taishang Emperor murmured, revealing a hint of a cruel smile.
In the depths, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang maintained their composure, cautiously advancing. After passing through a long tomb path, they arrived at a spatial vortex.
Without hesitation, they stepped in.
With a whirl of heaven and earth, they fell to the ground, creating two deep pits.
"What is this..."
Chen Sheng got up first, looking around, realizing they had arrived in a world of chirping birds and fragrant flowers.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted, staring fixedly ahead, blushing with excitement: "Quick... look quickly..."
"Look at what?"
Wu Guang reacted a moment later, following Chen Sheng's pointing direction, and with just one glance, it was as if he was struck by lightning, his whole body went stiff, swallowing hard.
In front, a thousand feet away, a massive stele floated, emitting a world-suppressing force.
On the stele, golden light shimmered, inscribed with four large characters.
Cangjie Ancestral Tomb!
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang exchanged a glance, secretly resolving to bring Cangjie's legacy back to the Qin Dynasty Immortal Court at all costs.
With this determination in mind, they began to explore the tomb.
...
Elsewhere.
After leaving Torch Academy, Qin Wudao and the other two did not stop, reaching the eighth layer of heaven in just three days.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming!"
In the swift advance, Mencius spoke softly.
"As expected!"
Qin Wudao squinted his eyes, a cold gleam flashing through.
The main reason he didn't allow the human race high-level guards was to find out if there were still spies within Torch Academy.
After all, Torch Academy was the supreme academy of the human race.
If it cannot remain 'clean', the future risks are endless.
Therefore, he decided to lure the enemy with himself as bait.
"How strong are they?"
Qu Yuan's expression remained calm, transmitting his inquiry.
"A total of one hundred and one auras!"
"Among them, one Immortal Emperor, ten Immortal Monarchs, and ninety Immortal Kings!"
Mencius sensed, then spoke coldly: "I'll deal with the Immortal Emperor!"
After hearing, Qu Yuan circulated his immortal energy: "The heads of the ten Immortal Monarchs are mine!"
Standing at the center of the two, Qin Wudao gripped the Xuanyuan Sword, an icy gleam flashing in his eyes: "I'll handle the remaining Immortal Kings!"
Boom!
Just as they finished planning their strategy, the void in front suddenly collapsed, a violent force sweeping across billions of miles, annihilating everything.
"Jie jie!"
"Qin Wudao, didn't expect this, did you?"
"I've got your whereabouts crystal clear, and this time, you're doomed!"
Amidst the shattered starry sky, a nine-headed giant snake emerged, its body stretching thousands of miles, emitting rolling black demon energy, blood-red eyes glaring, bursting with extreme killing intent, laughing wildly.
He laughed arrogantly, filled with pride!
