C415 Godly Mountain People
Half a day later, with Yao Guang leading the thirteen teams, they were the fastest and the first to arrive under the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower.
Very quickly, Ling Tianyu returned. The crowd was in ecstasy. They had passed the test with zero casualties, and had even obtained first place.
Although there was no reward for being first place, there was still some glory on his face, wasn't there?
Not long after, a second group appeared. It was the Ancient Phoenix Clan. They had lost thirteen Life and Death Realm martial artists. When they saw the nearly one hundred people Yao Guang had brought, they couldn't help but be surprised.
They originally thought that the first one to arrive here would be the group led by Sima Luo.
After a while, a third group appeared. They had lost more than a dozen warriors to the ancient Ouyang Family's team.
Following that, the fourth squadron, the fifth squadron … They appeared one after another.
It was not until the twelve teams arrived that everyone started to feel suspicious.
"Brother Sima's strength is extraordinary and his fighting strength is astonishing. How can he be so slow?"
"That's right. Brother Sima is leading the most people. Could it be that he encountered some super great demon beast?"
"How could this be? The Divine Mountain Trial is very fair, and shouldn't be too different from this one. I'm guessing that brother Si Ma might have had something to delay him."
"Forget it, let's take a look at this Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower, the treasure of the Mortal Realm, the divine artifact that protects a world. I never thought that it would be able to be viewed at such a close distance!"
"That's right. I heard that a thousand years ago, the Human Emperor used this treasure to shake the entire Seven Realms. I wonder who will be able to refine this tower in this generation!"
"In my opinion, the most likely person here is Brother Si Ma!"
Even though the twelve ancient families were independent, they still looked down on outsiders. After all, they were once the human emperor's main generals. Their ancestors had great merits, so they treated this as vanity and turned their noses upside down.
Ling Tianyu thought to himself: This young master is the Human Emperor of this generation. How can Sima Luo be considered a chicken's feather, and still want to refine this Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower?
However, that brat is probably in a tough spot right now. Two Manifestation Demonic Beasts will definitely suffer heavy losses.
As expected, when Sima Luo appeared in front of everyone, they were all shocked.
"Brother Sima, why are you in such a sorry state?" A Manifestation stage practitioner from an ancient family asked.
"That's right. Brother Sima, your cultivation base is the strongest, but how did you become like this? And who else do you have?"
Hearing these words, Sima Luo ignored them and walked toward Ling Tianyu with a face full of anger.
"Kid, you dare to plot against me?" Sima Luo shot a glance at Yao Guang and the other members. All of them were in high spirits, not one of them injured in the slightest.
At this moment, Sima Yan also walked over and said furiously, "Ling Tianyu, you killed my brother Sima Yan earlier and now you have lured the demon beast over to our side, causing us to lose more than 100 people. Let's see how you will settle this debt."
Upon hearing these words, the originally confused crowd finally understood that Yao Guang's demon beast had been replaced by Sima Yan.
No wonder they had suffered such heavy losses. Their numbers had been cut in half, and even Sima Luo was severely injured.
"Hey, it's true, why aren't our people injured? This shouldn't be the case, otherwise why did that demonic beast chase after me! " Astonishment filled Ling Tianyu's face.
"You're looking to die …" The moment Sima Luo heard this, his Qi and blood instantly surged, wanting to kill Ling Tianyu.
With a whoosh, a figure appeared in front of him.
Sima Luo's pupils shrank. He was a saint.
The others also looked towards the person who had arrived. He was wearing a gray ancient robe and looked to be around twenty to thirty years old.
Heavens, such a young saint like him was actually a world protecting divine mountain! Everyone cried out in alarm.0
"Everyone, fighting is not allowed in this divine mountain, moreover, your trial has not been completed!" The person opened his mouth, and his voice was as loud as a river.
"Eh, may I ask who this is?" Sima Luo immediately withdrew his aura and respectfully asked.
"My name is Qing Heng, and I am the 17th generation disciple of the Human Emperor Hall. I will also be your senior brother in the future!" The man's face was calm and slightly happy.
After all, they were the original inhabitants of the Divine Mountain and the heirs left behind by the previous generation of disciples of the Mortal Emperor Palace a thousand years ago.
Meanwhile, the most ancient members of the Human Emperor Hall had already been turned into dried bones and buried within this divine mountain.
"Senior?" Everyone was puzzled. A Saint was actually only a single year's disciple in the Mortal Emperor Palace? What level did that elder reach?
"I wonder how many people are left in the Human Emperor's manor?" Sima Luo asked.
As he brought up this issue, Qing Heng's face became sorrowful. "A thousand years ago, before the mountain was sealed, there were still thousands of people. Now, there are only eighteen disciples left."
"Ah?" How can the number of people be reduced by so much? " Everyone was shocked, and even Ling Tianyu was astonished.
"That's nothing. A thousand years have passed, and the predecessors have all gone into the past, we are only their continuation. Moreover, after a thousand years of tempering, there will finally be people who will not be able to resist it and die. So now, excluding those elders and supreme elders, there are only 18 disciples of the Human Emperor's Palace."
After Qing Heng finished explaining, he pointed to the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower and said, "Do you see that? For a thousand years, generation after generation, we have been training in the tower. How can you understand the loneliness and pain within?"
"Senior brother Qingheng, we understand. Ever since the divine mountain was sealed, our ancient families have also been hidden for a thousand years. It's the same thing!" Someone immediately said.
"Bullshit. You can come back at any time from seclusion, and you can also come back to the mortal world to train. How can you be compared to us?" Qing Heng immediately said in anger, causing everyone to not know what he meant.
"For the sake of protecting the human world, all of you, for the sake of being high and mighty, are just putting on an act!" Qing Heng said harshly. He had done it on purpose.
This was because the ancient families relied on their ancestors' honor and didn't place the warriors of the outside world in their eyes at all. They always thought that they were very noble and extraordinary.
"Do you think that your ancient families are very powerful? Are the forces in the outside world not even worth mentioning? " Qing Heng asked again.
"That's right, how could they be stronger than us, the ancient families? "Look, how many Manifestation stage practitioners are among them?"
"Oh? Based on what you said, I would like to ask, how many places in your ancient families have the Rainbow Bridge in the first stage? "
"Ugh …" These words completely stunned them.
"Relying on strength to prevent others from participating in the competition, luckily you have reason to be here. He was killed, yet he still dared to bully the weak, and he still dares to speak such harsh words here? Who was the one who came here in the first place of the second stage? " Qing Heng was getting angry.
The ancient family of privacy had taken away almost all of the resources, leaving the outside world with very little, yet they still looked down on the warriors outside.
However, everyone was looking left and right, wanting to know who was the first group to arrive.
"It's them!" Feng Xi pointed at Yao Guang's group.
"What?" It's actually them? " The other teams that came after them were all shocked. They only had a little less than a hundred people, so how could they be the first to arrive here?
That's right, they didn't suffer any casualties. Could it be that they didn't encounter any demon beasts?
In this place, only the people on Sima Luo's side had gloomy expressions, because it was not that they didn't encounter any demon beasts, but they were thrown to them.
"How is it? Compared to the outside world? Do you still think that the ancient families are superior? "
Qing Heng's words were like a thorn that pierced the hearts of all the disciples of the ancient families. He then continued, "In the Human Emperor's Palace, there is no difference between high and low. If I find someone bullying the weak, then my cultivation will be abolished and I will be chased out of the Human Emperor's Palace!"
