Chapter 420 The Magnificence of the Nine Heavens Continent
Inside the Nine Heavens Continent.
After passing through the gale-force winds, the view suddenly opened up before us.
Lin Hanzhou hovered high in the sky, looking down at this vast land.
"This is the Nine Heavens Continent..."
On the earth, one could see magnificent mountains and rivers flowing swiftly.
There are towering sacred mountains that pierce the clouds, and vast primeval forests that stretch for thousands of miles, exuding a primordial atmosphere.
Even in the far distance, Lin Hanzhou could see fairy islands floating in the clouds, with magnificent palaces and auspicious clouds, clearly the strongholds of some powerful force.
The fragments of laws in the air were extremely active, seemingly within reach.
"One day of cultivation here is equivalent to one year outside."
"No wonder all the geniuses flock here."
Lin Hanzhou took a deep breath of the fresh, grassy air, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"So..."
"Where should we go next?"
To be honest, after arriving at the Nine Heavens Continent, he still hadn't really decided where to go.
He knew nothing about the Nine Heavens Continent, only that it was the manifestation of the Imperial Great Wall and the place where various powerful families and dynasties were based.
Thus, Lin Hanzhou flew aimlessly through the clouds, seemingly leisurely, but in reality, his divine sense scanned the movements within millions of miles like a radar.
"This is the Nine Heavens Continent..."
"As expected, this is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources. The spiritual energy concentration of any mountain I pass by is a hundred times greater than that of the Wangshan Sect."
"only……"
Lin Hanzhou frowned slightly.
"This place is way too big."
"We flew for half an hour and were still circling in this primeval forest without seeing a single person."
"Looks like I'll have to ask a local for directions and find out which holy site is the richest... cough, the most historically significant."
Just as Lin Hanzhou was still figuring out which major power to go to for alms.
Suddenly, a violent energy fluctuation came from the void in the far distance.
That was not a naturally occurring tide of spiritual energy, but a collision caused by cultivators fighting!
"Um?"
Lin Hanzhou's expression shifted, and his immense divine sense instantly locked onto that direction.
"Three late-stage Sendai realm auras are chasing after an early-stage Sendai realm cultivator?"
"That's interesting."
"Since I'm just killing time anyway, I might as well go and join in the fun."
Lin Hanzhou's lips curled into a playful smile, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
……
At this moment, millions of miles away from Lin Hanzhou, above a canyon.
A young girl in a blood-stained white dress is desperately trying to escape.
She looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with a refined and elegant appearance and an innate air of nobility between her brows.
At this moment, however, her beautiful face was pale and filled with despair, and a trace of crimson blood clung to the corner of her mouth.
Her breathing was extremely disordered, and her skin, which should have been as clear and lustrous as jade, was now covered with crisscrossing wounds, some of which were so deep that bone was visible, and black blood was still seeping out.
That's a sign of being poisoned.
This woman's name is Jiang Ling.
He is a direct descendant of the once illustrious and ancient Jiang family.
However, the Jiang family has long since declined.
"Run! We have to run!"
"We absolutely cannot stop!"
"Our ancestor risked his life to send me out so that I could preserve the last hope of our family... This 'Emperor's Scripture' must not fall into their hands!"
Jiang Ling gritted her teeth, burning the last bit of essence in her body, and urged the already dimming divine rainbow beneath her feet, rushing madly forward.
However, just as she was about to burst out of the canyon...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three terrifying auras descended upon her like three towering mountains, instantly sealing off all her escape routes.
They were three mysterious figures dressed in black cloaks and wearing demon masks.
They exuded a sinister and cold aura, and each of them had reached the late stage of the Sendai realm.
"Run?"
"Why did you stop running?"
The leader of the men in black let out a strange, hoarse laugh, like the scraping of metal.
"Little girl from the Jiang family, you're quite the runner."
"You were hit by my Bone-Melting and Soul-Devouring Powder, yet you've managed to hold on until now. You truly deserve the bloodline of an imperial family."
"but……"
The man in black abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming extremely sinister.
Your good luck has run out.
Jiang Ling was forced to stop, her back against the steep cliff, her hand tightly gripping a long, cracked, crimson sword, her eyes filled with determination.
"Which faction do you belong to?"
"Why must you exterminate my Jiang family?!"
Although Jiang Ling's voice trembled, it carried an indomitable pride.
"Hehehe..."
Another man in black sneered:
"Dead people don't need to know that much."
"Jiang Ling, we don't want to go too far either."
"If you obediently hand over the Jiang family's Imperial Scripture, I might take pity on you and leave you with a whole corpse."
"Even if you're willing to cripple your cultivation and become a furnace for us brothers... we might consider sparing your life, hehehe..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling trembled with anger, her eyes practically spitting fire.
"Shameless!"
"Even if I die, I will never let the Imperial Scripture fall into the hands of you scum!"
"I will not allow myself to be humiliated by you!"
"You want the Imperial Scripture? Then step over my dead body!"
After saying that, Jiang Ling did not hesitate at all and directly activated the five secret realms within her body, intending to self-destruct!
As a descendant of an imperial family, she possessed her own pride.
Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile!
"Trying to self-destruct?"
The leader of the men in black snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"You don't even deserve to die in our presence!"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand.
hum!
A pitch-black ghostly claw appeared out of thin air, instantly traversing space and gripping Jiang Ling's throat tightly, forcefully suppressing the surging power within her body.
"Well……"
Jiang Ling let out a painful groan as she was lifted into the air, her legs kicking wildly, her face turning bluish-purple.
"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty cup."
"Since you refuse to hand it over, then I'll have to come and get it myself."
"After searching your soul and extracting your spirit, let's see what secrets you can still keep!"
The man in black had a cruel look in his eyes, and his other hand glowed with a ghostly green light as he reached out to grab Jiang Ling's crown.
Jiang Ling closed her eyes in despair.
Two lines of clear tears slid down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry... Ancestor..."
"Ling'er is incompetent...she failed to preserve the family's legacy..."
