Chapter 605: Injured Disciples, Courting Death!!!
"Elder Qi, what happened to you?"
Seeing the four elders kneeling in a disheveled state, Wu Tian and the others were momentarily stunned before asking.
"Sigh..."
Elder Qi let out a bitter laugh, slowly straightening up as he spoke:
"Following Her Majesty's orders, Elder Hu, Elder Fu, Elder Leng, and I came to investigate the situation. Many powerful factions and experts have already gathered in the Bone Mountains."
"Most of them have been fighting for territory, securing the best locations while waiting for the ruins to open. We were lucky enough to find a peak very close to the Ancient Ruins."
"That position allowed us to monitor any movements within the ruins in real time. However, just as we were setting up camp with our disciples, we encountered members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and Heavenly Underworld Sect!"
"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan? The Heavenly Underworld Sect?"
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
The Heavenly Underworld Sect was undoubtedly their enemy, but why was the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan involved?
"They dared to attack? Were they working together with the Heavenly Underworld Sect?"
At this moment, Feng Qing'er's face darkened, her eyes flashing with suppressed fury.
As a member of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, she had hoped to establish friendly relations between her clan and Cai Lin Pavilion.
But now…
It was clear that the clan had chosen to stand against them.
Feng Qing'er knew Wu Tian too well.
The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was courting destruction.
If they pushed Wu Tian too far, not even she would be able to save them.
After all
Beside her was Zi Yan, a pure blooded Taixu Ancient Dragon.
And Taixu Ancient Dragons loved eating Heavenly Demon Phoenixes…
Facing Feng Qing'er's questioning, Elder Qi's heart tightened.
Was this a trap?!
If he spoke, it would offend Feng Qing'er.
If he didn't speak, it would offend Wu Tian.
But as an elder of Cai Lin Pavilion, he had no choice but to answer truthfully:
"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan didn't attack us directly, but they were indeed traveling with the Heavenly Underworld Sect. The Heavenly Underworld Sect only sent one Dou Venerate to forcefully seize our mountain."
"The four of us were enraged and fought back, but we were ultimately outmatched. The disciples had to retreat to another mountain."
Elder Qi sighed bitterly, his face filled with frustration.
No matter how skilled they were, as Dou Zong experts, they simply couldn't match a Dou Venerate.
Clearly, the Heavenly Underworld Sect had come prepared.
Even more concerning
They had managed to maintain ties with both the Soul Hall and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
Two powerful factions.
And yet, they were somehow still standing.
The Heavenly Underworld Sect was craftier than expected.
But in the end, their scheming wouldn't save them.
Now that Soul Hall was destroyed, the Soul Clan would inevitably turn to the Heavenly Underworld Sect.
And if there was conflict between the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Soul Clan, Wu Tian would gladly sit back and watch them tear each other apart.
A playful smile appeared on Wu Tian's lips.
Watching his enemies destroy each other could be… interesting.
But first
Anyone who dared harm his people needed to die.
The women around him frowned slightly but remained silent.
Instead, they all turned to Wu Tian, waiting for his command.
The Heavenly Underworld Sect had humiliated Cai Lin Pavilion.
The only way to restore their dignity was through blood and death.
Though they were gentle with Wu Tian, his wives were merciless executioners when dealing with enemies.
Wu Tian chuckled lightly before speaking in an icy tone:
"Since our old friends have arrived, I suppose it's only fair that we properly entertain them. Let's go check on the disciples first."
Hearing his cold but comforting words, Feng Qing'er's heart warmed.
She knew Wu Tian was giving her a chance.
If not for her, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members at the Bone Mountains would already be dead.
And if they continued making mistakes, Wu Tian might not spare them next time.
For the first time, Feng Qing'er felt a deep unease.
If her clan continued down this path, they wouldn't just lose their alliance with Cai Lin Pavilion
They might be wiped out entirely.
"Brother Wu Tian… I…"
Her soft, hesitant voice reached Wu Tian's ears.
But before she could finish, Wu Tian smiled faintly and said:
"You really think I'd let you go alone to such a dangerous place?"
He continued walking forward, not even giving her the chance to argue.
He knew exactly what Feng Qing'er wanted to do
She planned to go ahead alone and negotiate with her clan members.
But Wu Tian wouldn't allow it.
The Heavenly Underworld Sect was there.
And the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan wasn't weak either especially in the Beast Domain, where they had countless subsidiary clans.
If he could subdue them, he would.
But if they acted foolishly
He wouldn't hesitate to destroy them.
Seeing her deep concern, Cai Lin gently took Feng Qing'er's hand, offering a reassuring smile.
Feng Qing'er took a deep breath and nodded silently.
Though the Cai Lin Pavilion Elders had retreated, their humiliation was a stain on the Pavilion's reputation.
They had to retaliate.
Everyone understood this.
Wu Tian, however, was in no rush.
Following Elder Qi's guidance, the group traveled to another mountain, where the disciples had taken refuge.
Even from a distance, they could hear the loud, chaotic noise coming from the enemy controlled peak
As if the mountain had become a bustling market.
About twenty disciples were stationed as guards.
Each of them radiated anger, clearly furious over the Heavenly Underworld Sect's actions.
However
The moment they saw Wu Tian and his wives approaching, their expressions changed dramatically.
They immediately fell to their knees, bowing deeply.
The legendary Pavilion Master, the Queen, and…
All of the Pavilion Master's wives…
This was an army of monsters.
Were they about to wipe out the entire Bone Mountains?!
The disciples instantly felt invigorated their morale soaring a hundredfold.
"Elder Qi, is this the temporary base?"
Wu Tian asked, glancing around.
Elder Qi's face flushed red with shame as he pointed at the makeshift camp:
"Yes, Pavilion Master. But… the energy here is much weaker than that of the occupied peak…"
He gritted his teeth.
They had lost face.
But Wu Tian didn't blame them.
After all
They were no match for a Dou Venerate.
As he entered the camp, Wu Tian's expression darkened.
Several disciples lay inside, seriously injured.
Some were on the brink of death.
Wu Tian's eyes turned icy.
Then, a cold, furious roar erupted from his throat:
"The insignificant Heavenly Underworld Sect mere pathetic Dou Venerates dared to harm my people?"
"Courting death!!!"
His voice boomed across the Bone Mountains, shaking the land.
The once lively, noisy mountain in the distance fell into absolute silence.
For a moment
It was as if death itself had arrived.
