In the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land, the cultivators were taken aback, their expressions shifting dramatically as they were engulfed by the roar of Li Gui Xu Ying and the crashing of massive stones. They never expected these sudden arrivals to be so formidable!
"Stop! Everyone, halt!" A commanding voice echoed from deep within the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land.
As the voice rang out, a figure shot forth from the depths of the Holy Land like a bolt of lightning, appearing before the crowd in an instant. This figure was none other than the Ancestor of Burning Sky Sacred Land, clad in fiery red robes, his hair and beard billowing as if caught in a tempest, his eyes gleaming with fierce intensity.
With a swift motion, he raised his hand, unleashing torrents of flames that soared into the sky, instantly melting the massive stone that had been hurled towards them.
Upon observing the scene before him, he quickly realized he might have misjudged the situation and urgently called for the disciples of the Holy Land to cease their actions.
"Who are your subordinates?" Fen Tian Lao Zu's voice carried a hint of confusion.
His gaze swept over Chen Feng and the soldiers of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Battle Division, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of shock. The two armies had arrived one after another, yet their strength was all at the Innate level.
Seeing this, Chen Feng smirked coldly. He stood proudly at the front lines with a military flag in hand, locking eyes with Fen Tian Lao Zu without flinching. Internally, he mused that Fen Tian Lao Zu's strength was indeed remarkable. However, they had come to unite against the demon clan alongside Fallen Heaven Sacred Land. He dared not provoke further confrontation.
Just as Chen Feng was about to explain their intentions, a thunderous roar echoed from above, shaking the very air around them.
Everyone looked up to see a gigantic white tiger descending from the sky. Its body was as large as a small mountain, crashing down and causing tremors that shook the ground.
With each step it took, dust erupted and trees were uprooted!
Fen Tian Lao Zu initially thought it was a great demon approaching for observation but soon realized that there was someone riding on its back—Chen Moxuan, with starry brows and piercing eyes.
"Haha! Fen Tian Lao Zu! Long time no see; I trust you are well!" Chen Moxuan's laughter rang out joyfully as he rode down on the white tiger, his gaze filled with playful mischief.
Upon seeing Chen Moxuan, Fen Tian Lao Zu's expression shifted slightly before returning to calmness. He clasped his hands in salute and spoke firmly.
It turned out to be Chen Xianren; my apologies. However, why are you outside my Fallen Heaven Sacred Land?
Chen Moxuan smiled slightly and explained, "I heard that the Demon Army is about to attack this place, so naturally, I came to join forces against the demon race."
Fen Tian Lao Zu frowned upon hearing this. He had met Chen Moxuan once before, but that encounter had not been pleasant. The other party had a significant background, so he refrained from saying too much.
Fen Tian Lao Zu's gaze swept over the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends Battle Division behind Chen Moxuan, and he felt a shock in his heart. This army was formidable, especially with its mysterious military flag and formation, which made him wary.
After a long silence, just as Chen Moxuan was beginning to feel impatient, Fen Tian Lao Zu spoke decisively, his voice carrying an undeniable firmness. "Chen Xianren, I appreciate your goodwill. To be honest, my Fallen Heaven Sacred Land does not require any support, especially from you."
His eyes were sharp as knives, fixed intently on Chen Moxuan.
Tiger Brother, hearing such rudeness from the other party, immediately opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar that nearly knocked Fen Tian Lao Zu off his feet.
Seeing this, Chen Moxuan smiled faintly. He understood well why Fen Tian Lao Zu held such great suspicion towards him. He gently patted Tiger Brother's back to signal it to quiet down.
Then he slowly began to speak: "Haha, I understand your meaning. With the Demon Army pressing in, relying solely on the strength of Fallen Heaven Sacred Land will likely be insufficient to withstand them. Moreover, I mentioned three hundred years ago that this item placed in the furnace would last at most three hundred years; your Fallen Heaven Sacred Land must have great opportunities ahead."
"Although the time has been a bit long, you don't seem like someone who can't distinguish right from wrong. You see that I am not withholding treasures from you; instead, I am willing to extend a helping hand when you encounter trouble to jointly resist the demon race and protect this land. Am I still at fault towards you?"
A flicker of anger appeared on Fen Tian Lao Zu's face. He weighed the pros and cons in his heart and knew that his situation was not optimistic. The threat of the Demon Army was real, and it was something he could not accept about Chen Moxuan's actions!
Fen Tian Lao Zu felt a surge of anger rising within him, but after a moment of silence, he suppressed it, realizing the true identity of the other party. With a hint of resignation, he said, "Chen Xianren! I appreciate your good intentions, but the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land has its own ways to deal with matters. There’s no need for outsiders to intervene. Please, take your leave."
As he finished speaking, Fen Tian Lao Zu turned away. His silhouette elongated in the fading light of the sunset, exuding an air of solitude and pride.
Tiger Brother watched this unfold and couldn't help but mutter in dissatisfaction, "Hey, little guy, why are you so stubborn? You refuse help even when it's offered. That's just foolish."
Chen Moxuan gently patted Tiger Brother's head, signaling it to hold its tongue. He gazed at Fen Tian Lao Zu's departing figure and shook his head helplessly.
Tiger Brother quickly asked, "Chen Xiaozi, what on earth happened?"
"About three hundred years ago," Chen Moxuan began to explain, "I had a friend who placed a stone in the Fengxin Furnace of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land. A significant portion of the fire was used for smelting, which prevented them from fully utilizing the flames within the furnace for forging and refining. As a result, they have held a grudge against me ever since."
Tiger Brother's eyes sparkled with curiosity upon hearing this. "Fengxin Furnace? What is that? It sounds impressive."
Chen Moxuan smiled slightly and elaborated, "The Fengxin Furnace is a treasure of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land. Inside it contains a unique flame known as the Burning Heart Flame. The purpose of the Fengxin Furnace is to extract geothermal energy from beneath the earth to sustain the Burning Heart Flame for forging and refining purposes. However, when my friend placed that stone inside, it blocked a significant amount of geothermal energy, preventing them from fully utilizing the flames in the furnace. Although they were dissatisfied and unable to retrieve that stone, their anger was entirely justified."
Upon hearing Chen Moxuan's explanation, Tiger Brother's eyes widened in realization. It stared into the depths of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land and murmured, "So it was an inability that led to their fury. But if you did that, it's no wonder they resent you. What exactly was that stone?"
Chen Moxuan gazed deeply towards the direction of the Fallen Heaven Sacred Land and slowly replied, "That stone actually encased an extraordinary object—a broken Divine Weapon. Its last master was Ge Yuexiong from the Middle Four Divine Generals, who once wielded the Earthfire Mountain-Cleaving Axe. After an intense battle with my master, my master ultimately cleaved that axe in two. Later on, I retrieved it and sealed it within a precious Nine-turn Spirit Jade using ancient secret methods. That stone is indeed this object."
