Chapter 249: The Background of the Demoness, Arrival of the Peak Sage!
What is this?
The crowd stared at the token, on which the words “Heavenly Fire” were prominently engraved, and their expressions changed slightly.
“Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground?”
You Jingfeng furrowed his brows and asked uncertainly.
“Old man, it’s good you know your place!”
Lin Ruoxii was incredibly proud: “My Xiang has long been betrothed to the candidate Virgin Saint of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground. This token was gifted by the Sacred Ground and can allow them to make a move!”
As she spoke, her expression turned incredibly sinister, “If I make a wish to the Sacred Ground to eliminate the Celestial Master Clan, what do you think will be your consequences?”
With these words, everyone present fell silent.
This was indeed a tricky surprise.
To be referred to as a Sacred Ground means that their strength has reached a certain level, meeting at least one of two criteria.
Either the number of Sages in the Sacred Ground has reached ten, or they have a seventh-level Sage stationed there.
As for the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground, it met the former criterion; not long ago, the number of Sage-level powers had surpassed ten.
Moreover, it was said that their Virgin Saint mastered the Fire Authority, able to defeat veteran Sages, and her strength should not be underestimated.
“Ancestral Master… What do you think…”
The Celestial Master Clan’s family head looked towards You Jingfeng; a conflict of this level was beyond his capacity to handle.
“Don’t worry, proceed with the attack!”
You Jingfeng revealed a calm smile. In the past, they would have treated the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground as a formidable enemy.
But now, the Celestial Master Clan had five Sages, and the Little Demoness had an utterly daunting background.
Just thinking of that white-haired demon from the Joyful Union Sect made even the old man shiver.
“You dare!!”
The Li couple did not expect that after revealing their trump card, the Celestial Master Clan would remain indifferent, truly unaware of their own mortality!
“Since you won’t cry until you see the coffin, I’ll make sure you get what you deserve!”
Li Congxin pulled out a jade amulet from his bosom, which was also a gift from the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground, specifically to protect the Li family.
As long as the jade amulet was crushed, a Sage from the Heavenly Fire Clan would descend; it should not be used lightly unless in a life-or-death situation.
“Crack!”
Without any hesitation, he shattered it, driven by a desire for glory and conflict.
“Boom!!”
The space trembled violently, and a rich Holy might permeated out. This was a Sage-level being exerting Great Mana, forcibly tearing apart space to cross over!
Sure enough, within a few blinks, the rift in the hall became immensely large, and three Sages, engulfed in crimson flames, suddenly descended, causing the temperature in the area to soar intolerably.
“Messengers of the Sacred Ground, look! The Celestial Master Clan dares to attack us!” Lin Ruoxii played the role of the villain first.
Upon hearing this, the three Sages’ expressions turned razor-sharp without asking for clarification.
Then, they erupted with Holy might and pressed toward the family head, manifesting an overwhelming dominance, looking down on him as if he were simply an ant.
Before the family head could speak, Lin Ruoxii spoke again.
“In all of Central Continent, who does not know of our betrothal? The actions of the Celestial Master Clan are not merely a slap to our face, but a direct affront to your Sacred Ground!”
“Is this true?”
One of the Sacred beings from the Sacred Ground glared down at the family head like a god of judgment, asking domineeringly.
“It was their unreasonable actions that disrespected our clan’s Virgin Saint…”
“Shut up! I only ask if this is the case?”
Before he could finish, he was rudely interrupted.
They didn’t need to know who was right; they just needed to know that the Li family was a subordinate of the Sacred Ground.
As the leader, if he could not defend his subordinate, other forces dependent on the Sacred Ground would grow anxious and choose to break away.
Their arrival was to support the Li family, and as for reason… Hmph… fists are the true law!
After all, not daring to provoke trouble is for the mediocre!
“Since that’s the case, there’s no need for communication anymore!”
The family head said coldly, standing upright!
“Impudent! You, a mere little ant, dare to speak to me like this? Truly seeking death, I’ll make you regret this today!”
As soon as he finished, the other party swatted down with a palm, which, if hit, would at the very least gravely injure the family head.
“How arrogant is the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground!”
You Jingfeng intervened, directly blocking the strike!
“You dare to resist? This cannot be let go today!”
The three Sages sneered, their aura converging, enveloping the entire Celestial Master Clan. The other two Sages of the Li family also joined in.
Five versus five, they did not fear the battle, but unfortunately, the area would be devastated!
“Offering wine isn’t the same as drinking punishment wine!”
Another Sage from the Sacred Ground completely lost their temper and recklessly attacked, aiming for the Little Demoness, but was blocked by You Jingfeng again.
“I advise you to think twice before acting. You can fight here, but if you touch her, even the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground won’t bear the consequences!”
Upon hearing this, the Li family and the people from the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground burst into wild laughter.
“Truly a joke. Are we really afraid of a little girl? What background could she have? Isn’t she just the Virgin Saint of your Celestial Master Clan? In our eyes, she is nothing!”
“Coincidentally, the Virgin Saint of the Celestial Master Clan is her most insignificant identity.”
You Jingfeng said coldly.
This caused the other side to pause slightly.
“Scare tactics! Even if what you say is true, what does it matter?”
Li Congxin sneered, “Could her background be stronger than the Sacred Ground? Does she stand behind a ninth-level Sage or something?”
As soon as these words were spoken, others laughed uproariously once again!
“If I say this is all true, what will you do?”
You Jingfeng looked at them, his eyes filled with pity!
“You old man can really spin tales. If this is true, I’ll die right here on the spot!”
That Sage said viciously, preparing to strike at the Little Demoness again.
“Then go die!”
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura from the Sage’s Way engulfed them!
Its terror even made one wonder if this was truly a Sage-level being!
Before they could see the figure, a jade hand broke through the void, grabbing the one who had just spoken harshly!
With just a gentle squeeze, the sound of bones cracking echoed continuously.
“Ah ah ah…”
