Chapter 1331 - 215: Dragon Head Mountain

Chapter 1331: Chapter 215: Dragon Head Mountain

Suddenly.

It sounded like a noisy commotion was rising from the foot of the mountain.

Everyone who was making their way up the mountain instinctively stopped when they heard the sound, then turned around to look.

They very much wanted to know what kind of force dared to make such a racket within the bounds of the Great Qin Holy Mountain.

However.

When they finally saw who was coming, shock appeared on their faces.

"The Barbarian Clan!"

They saw a contingent of Barbarians step into the area of Dragon Head Mountain, a terrifying aura spilling off their bodies, making even the space around them faintly distort.

Among all those Barbarian powerhouses, the one at their head was a middle-aged Barbarian whose features were stern and imposing.

The group of Barbarians walked in silence, heading straight up the mountain.

The true source of the noise was actually the people from other forces, who were surprised at seeing the Barbarians arrive.

"Why has the Barbarian Clan come here?"

"This is the Great Qin Holy Mountain. Although the Barbarians have been in a truce with Great Qin in recent years, the two powers have always been at odds. Now the Barbarians step into this place—could they come with ill intent?"

"Impossible. This is Great Qin’s heartland. Without Great Qin’s permission, no matter how sky-piercing the skills of the Barbarian Clan, they could never penetrate this deep."

"That’s true enough..."

Many people whispered to one another.

Their first reaction on seeing the Barbarian Clan was that the other side came with hostile intent.

But thinking it over, they felt that was impossible.

If they truly came with malice, these Barbarians would never have been able to enter Dragon Head Mountain.

Let alone Great Qin’s heartland.

With Great Qin’s current strength, the Barbarian Clan managing to enter the Great Wilderness Prefecture would already be impressive.

Thus.

There was only one explanation for the Barbarian Clan appearing here: they too had come at Great Qin’s invitation.

Soon.

Someone recognized the identity of one of the Barbarians in the group and couldn’t help crying out, "Isn’t that the Barbarian Emperor?"

"What... the Barbarian Emperor!"

When they heard this, their expressions changed again.

The Barbarian Emperor!

Within the Barbarian Clan, the only one worthy of that title was the former Emperor of the Barbarians.

Before that Barbarian God revived, it was the Barbarian Emperor who held dominion over the clan.

Then.

An elderly man fixed his gaze on the Barbarian Clan, and after a moment, he nodded. "It’s him. Many years ago, the Barbarians launched a large-scale invasion of the Great Wilderness Prefecture, led personally by the Barbarian Emperor.

Back then I only saw him once from afar, but his appearance is etched firmly in my memory."

Hearing this.

The others understood.

Afterward, they turned their eyes to the middle-aged Barbarian at the very front.

The Barbarian Emperor himself had come.

Yet he had to stand in the rear.

In that case, the identity of the one leading them went without saying.

"The Barbarian God!"

Chang Yin spoke the two words with a solemn face.

He had seen the Barbarian God before, and no matter what, he could never forget that appearance.

The arrival of the Barbarian Clan.

Already took him by surprise.

But now, not only had the Barbarian Clan come—the ones here were the Barbarian God who currently rules the clan, and the Barbarian Emperor who used to rule it.

That was truly intriguing.

"Sect Master, you’re saying that man is that Divine Spirit of the Barbarian Clan?"

When Yun Yi heard this, his aged face unconsciously grew grave as well.

Chang Yin withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Other than that one, who in the Barbarian Clan could possibly be worthy of the word ’God’?"

Since the Barbarian Clan first emerged, there have been many Barbarian Emperors, but from beginning to end there has only ever been one Barbarian God.

That one.

Was the Supreme Powerhouse who gave birth to the Barbarian Clan itself.

Only that one qualified to be called the God of the Barbarians.

Yun Yi’s expression remained solemn. "Even the Barbarian Clan’s God has come. What is the Imperial Court truly intending this time? Not only did they invite the Sects of the world, but even the Barbarian Clan’s Divine Spirit has come in person."

"Hard to say. But Great Qin is definitely preparing something big. We’ll just watch and see."

Chang Yin shook his head.

He was no longer some green youth. Having assumed the position of Sect Master of the Qingyu Sect for over twenty years now, he had matured greatly in all respects.

Though he harbored suspicions in his heart, they did not show on his face.

...

The mountaintop.

A nine-zhang bronze altar stood upright, and at the center of the altar sat a massive bronze cauldron, within which nine incense candles as thick as pillars were planted upright.

On the left side of the altar.

Baiyue stood quietly, dressed in a Daoist Robe, his expression incomparably solemn.

Yet as he looked down upon the civil and military officials, and upon the powerful figures from across the world who kept arriving, his heart was faintly surging.

He knew very well.

Today’s affair was anything but ordinary.

As the one personally presiding, his name was destined to go down in history, immortal for all ages.

For anyone, that would be a supreme honor.

Likewise.

Even though Baiyue now commands the entire Martial Dao Grand Institute and holds a high post, caring little for many external things, as he stood here now, his Heart still couldn’t calm for a long time.

"Sacrificing to Heaven?"

When he saw the bronze altar, Wu Que’s expression shifted slightly.

In particular, when he saw the civil and military officials all gathered before the altar, it made him all the more certain of his guess.

If he was not mistaken.

Great Qin was about to hold the old rite of Sacrifice to Heaven.

But what Wu Que could not understand was that Great Qin’s Sacrifice to Heaven had always been conducted internally. Never before had they proclaimed it to the world like this, much less invited powerful figures from all sides to attend.

Though he was puzzled.

He could only press that thought down in his heart.

On the mountaintop, no fewer than several thousand people were gathered, yet it did not feel crowded.

Under the Imperial Court’s arrangement, the representatives of the various Sects and factions all stood at designated spots.

Moreover, everyone who had come here was a person of standing within their respective powers, each well aware that this was not a place for careless levity, so even with thousands gathered, not a hint of noise could be heard.
