Chapter 2190 - 2179: Land of the Saint’s Heavenly Tribulation

At this moment, Nantong was kneeling on one knee, with his fists clasped together, and a face full of respect that could not conceal his fanaticism; although he was not as cunning as Xiluo and the others, even a fool could understand Beiming’s words — he wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate Xiluo and Dongka!

The Four Lords of the Beiyao Ancient Clan were originally elected by the clansmen’s votes, not only having to make significant contributions to the clan but also requiring their cultivation to be impressive, yet currently, the Beiyao Ancient Clan was facing a shortage of talent.

With mediocre talents, not to mention Saints, even those in the Sub-Saint Realm were few and far between. Additionally, in recent years, Beiming’s prestige in the clan had seemingly surpassed the Five Supreme Venerables who kept to themselves, so at that time, he supported two puppets to take the position of the four lords, and in the Beiyao Ancient Clan, they would be his!

Not only was Nantong pleased, but even the previously gloomy-faced Beiming’s eyes were flashing with brilliance, and as his aura spread, the originally calm air in the cave suddenly roared with the wind.

The fierce wind made Beiming’s black robe and his slightly graying temples dance, standing on the stone platform, Nantong, kneeling on the ground, suddenly had an illusion, that the Beiming before him at this moment was like a ruler dominating the world!

With a sweep of his robe, the originally violent wind became even more unruly, Beiming’s unbridled words echoed amidst the wind in the cave: "Nantong Lord, come forth to receive instructions!"

Come forth to receive instructions! If outsiders were to hear these words, they would surely be shocked; to speak such orders to the Four Lords, only the Five Supreme Venerables could do!

Yet Nantong nodded heavily, his words were exceedingly respectful: "Nantong is here, awaiting instructions from Beiming Lord, I will go through death without complaint!"

Beiming nodded in satisfaction, completely trusting Nantong’s loyalty, and instructed word by word: "I order you to follow Xiluo these few days, when he goes to guard the Human Sacrifice Tower, you quietly monitor from the periphery, and when Dongfang Ziyue and Xiluo begin to fight, you have to quickly return to inform me!"

Due to the strict rules of the Beiyao Ancient Clan, even Beiming, one of the Four Lords, did not have the privilege to enter before the sacrifices began, hence he had no choice but to employ this stratagem. What he wanted was for Xiluo to consume some of their strength first, combined with the mysterious elements within the Human Sacrifice Tower, it would be a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

Bowing slightly, Nantong acknowledged heavily, only then did Beiming satisfactorily wave his hand, instructing him to rise, and after a few additional instructions, Nantong quickly left.

After sending Nantong off, Beiming’s originally fanatic face instantly cooled down, a murderous intent burst from his grim eyes, gnashing his teeth as he said: "No matter who you are, dare to ruin my apprentice, I will make you pay a thousand-fold!"

The words reverberated in the cave, eerie as the Nine Nether, yet they could not possibly drift to Lin Zifeng’s ears, who was currently in the secret chamber of Dongka’s residence.

At this moment, Lin Zifeng, looking at everything before him, his face that had been lightly smiling all along, finally revealed a trace of astonishment: "Dongka Lord, so many materials for formation refining, are these accumulated by you over the years?"

As he spoke, Lin Zifeng walked forward cautiously, fearing he might step on the randomly scattered inscription stones; Dongka, in contrast, was laid-back, hearing Lin Zifeng’s words, nodded without hesitation: "That’s right, I usually enjoy researching some strange formations, take a look, are the materials here sufficient."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng lifted his head and scanned the area, estimating roughly in his mind that there were close to four thousand inscription stones scattered about! Not only that, even the other precious materials needed for a transmission array, were all present in Dongka’s storage cabinet!

"Very complete, thank you very much, Dongka Lord, these materials must be quite valuable." Lin Zifeng said, his face revealing a genuine gratitude, these items, considering he was in this unfamiliar Beiyao Ancient Clan, he had no idea how long it would take to gather them, Dongka at this moment had indeed lent him a significant helping hand.

With a calm wave of his hand, Dongka’s handsome face showed a hint of melancholy: "No need to thank me, if it weren’t for Ziyue, I wouldn’t have brought you into this secret chamber at all, don’t forget what you promised me, you must take Ziyue out of this cage!"

Nodding once more, Lin Zifeng, when promising others, never goes back on his word, he chuckled twice to ease the serious atmosphere before asking: "Dongka Lord, do you know if there’s a suitable place within the Beiyao Ancient Clan to set up a formation?"

This ancient transmission array not only requires precious materials and the cultivator’s powerful cultivation but also cannot choose a mediocre location; due to the intricate and obscure power of space tearing involved, Lin Zifeng, for safety’s sake, chose to find a place with abundant elemental power.

Moreover, when the transmission array is in operation, the outward elemental power is incredibly strong, causing a significant commotion naturally, Lin Zifeng initially considered finding a secluded and uninhabited corner, but after seeing Beiming’s cultivation yesterday, he secretly determined that the Five Supreme Venerables who practiced in seclusion definitely included a Thunder Tribulation Saint!

Thunder Tribulation Experts possess formidable strength, even from ten thousand meters away, such an outpouring of elemental power surely wouldn’t escape their perception, so Lin Zifeng changed his plan, deciding to make a formation within a formation, using a ’Screening Array’ to seal the outward elemental power around the transmission array, ensuring everything goes smoothly.

Thankfully, this Screening Array is considerably simpler, with Dongka’s help, the problem isn’t significant, Lin Zifeng explained his plan to Dongka, and the latter, after hearing it, agreed without any hesitation.

"I remember about seven days before you and Ziyue returned, a hundred miles to the east, the elemental power was terrifyingly strong at one time, and when I checked, in the air, there were nearly two meters thick purple thunderbolts, striking one after another towards the east."

As if the scene was right before his eyes, Dongka’s face showed a hint of dread: "I suspect there’s definitely something mysterious about that place, so I planned to investigate further, but to my surprise, the Dragon Slayer Supreme approached us Four Lords, and ordered us to seal that land, prohibiting anyone from entering."

"Until the next morning, the sky phenomenon slowly vanished, only then did the Dragon Slayer Supreme let us leave, but apparently they posted experts to guard it afterwards, even us Four Lords weren’t allowed to enter later."

Dongka’s words fell into Lin Zifeng’s ears, causing his originally lightly smiling expression to fall into immense shock, knowing this matter was significant.

Huge purple lightning in the sky... Isn’t that the Heavenly Tribulation of a Saint crossing through? Moreover, from Dongka’s description, the Dragon Slayer Supreme preventing others from entering might be due to the person crossing the tribulation having some magical treasure, afraid that others might develop ulterior motives.
