Chapter 452: The Return of the Pillar (1)
To be honest, even Cai Chaoan and Lou Guangzhi did not expect that after more than five months, the main force of Wuyang Peak was still holding on and did not collapse.
Yes, in the eyes of giants like Cai Chaoan and Lou Guangzhi, it was already very good that Wuyang Peak could maintain to this extent. After all, this was only a force that had developed for more than a year.
Most of the cultivators on Wuwan Peak had been recruited over the past year, so they didn’t have much of a relationship with Zhu Wuwan. In the face of such a disaster, it was already good enough that they didn’t betray him, let alone continue to stay.
Wen Kuizhi, Wen Yuannian, Hesheng, Wang Yuliang, Peng Yingzhi … Zhu Wuyang had found a group of good confidants, and these confidants did not let him down. In the face of so many forces trying to rope him in and target him, they still managed to maintain the situation at Wuyang Peak.
Of course, this was partly because they had borrowed Cai Chaoan’s power. If Cai Chaoan had not been in charge of the city, some people would have long taken the Endless Snake Marsh by force.
However, Cai Chaoan was the Dragon Flame Hall Master and one of the most powerful figures in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. How long could he stay in the Endless Snake Marsh?
Now that he had stayed for nearly half a year, there was still no news of Zhu Wuyan. It was time for Cai Chaoan to leave.
Perhaps tomorrow, perhaps two or three days later, it shouldn’t be more than ten days…Cai Chaoan would leave this place. At that time, the power of Wuyang Peak would probably not be able to maintain Wuyang City anymore.
At this moment, Zhu Wuyang slowly walked into Wuyang City. The worried voices of many itinerant cultivators sounded in his ears.
” I wonder when Crown Prince Zhu will come back and rebuild Unharmed City and Endless Snake Marsh. Ever since Crown Prince Zhu went missing, Unharmed City and Endless Snake Marsh have become more and more chaotic. Even many guides and real-time movements are not accurate anymore. How can we search for treasures here? ”
” Alas, the heavens are unpredictable, and people are destined for misfortune. The Medicine God Sect and the Sacred Flame Sect have gone too far. To deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator like Crown Prince Zhu, they actually sent out an ancient giant and three Soul Formation Exceptional Realm cultivators. They’re really shameless. ”
” It’s said that most of the forces on Wuyang Peak have already dispersed. Only the six ministers are still struggling to hold on. Sixty to seventy percent of the people and forces who originally joined Wuyang Peak have left. ”
” When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Isn’t it normal for this to happen? However, the Third Prince died a worthy death. He dragged the three Soul Formation Realm cultivators to death with him. It can be considered as another miracle in the Southern Wasteland. ”
..
From the mouths of these secret practitioners who were discussing animatedly, Zhu Wuyang already understood the current situation of Wuyang Peak. Although there were a lot of people who left, Zhu Wuyang was already very satisfied that the skeleton did not collapse.
It’s just that these guys can’t spit out ivory from their mouths. I’m clearly still alive and well, and my soul fire hasn’t even been extinguished. How come I’m already dead in your mouths?
Fortunately, I came back early. Otherwise, if I had come back a month or two later, you would have prepared a coffin for me.
Zhu Wuyang smiled and slowly walked toward the newly built Endless Underground Palace in the center of Wuyang City.
As he got closer and closer to the Endless Underground Palace, Zhu Wuwan’s body gradually flashed with light. Purple qi rose from the Nine-Dragon Robe. Nine divine dragons shuttled around Zhu Wuwan, ready to erupt with earth-shattering defensive power at any time.
The Nine Dragon Boots were steaming with green energy, and once they exploded, their bodies became like phantoms.
The Nine Dragon Crown was flowing with light and color, and Zhu Wuyan was indescribably noble.
“Ah…”
As soon as the Nine Dragons Set appeared, Zhu Wuyang heard an ear-piercing scream from the side, causing Zhu Wuyang to turn her head.
” Senior Sisters, look! That’s the Third Prince! ”
” Yes, yes, yes. We’ve seen him on the welcome sign many times. He’s the Third Prince, the Third Prince of Nine Dragons, Zhu Wuyang. I didn’t expect him to be even more handsome in real life than on the welcome sign. ”
“So His Highness Zhu is not dead. It seems that his strength has not been crippled. He has finally returned. We will have a good life in the future.”
” Welcome back, Crown Prince Zhu. Please restore order to the city and the Endless Snake Marsh as soon as possible. ”
..
The ones who shouted the loudest were the female cultivators of the Green Leaf Sect who had once yearned for Zhu Wuan at the Immortal Gate Inn. The first to notice Zhu Wuan’s abnormality were Lu Xueyun and Lu Xueyu.
Zhu Wuan smiled and nodded at them before striding toward the Endless Underground Palace.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Endless Palace was extremely oppressive. Wen Yuannian, Wen Kuizhi, Peng Yingzhi, and the other ministers of the six ministries were sitting with bitter expressions, discussing the next matter of the Unsafe Peak.
” I’ve already received accurate news from Hall Master Cai. He’ll leave the Endless Snake Marsh and return to the Thousand Poisons Hall in two days to refine a top-notch antidote for a poisoned ancient giant. He won’t be able to protect us anymore. Liang Jingyan and Pan Yufeng will definitely make things difficult for us. ”
” It’s not just Pan Yufeng and Liang Jingyan. Even Mount Scorpion is here to see if we can find a chance to take back the Endless Snake Marsh. With our current strength, we can’t even deal with the two princes, let alone the big shots of Mount Scorpion. ”
” Mount Scorpio shouldn’t send out the ancient giants. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. By then, Hall Master Cai and Mountain Master Lou wouldn’t sit idly by. We just need to be able to hold off the several princes of Mount Scorpio. ”
“Hehe, can we hold on?”
..
It might be an exaggeration to say that they were besieged on all sides, but it was definitely not an exaggeration to say that they were in a precarious situation. Without Zhu Wuyang, Wuyang Peak seemed to have lost its soul and backbone. It could not withstand the greedy people around it.
At this moment, not to mention the enemies outside, even the enemies inside Nine Dragon Mountain had already sharpened their blades and were ready to attack the Endless Snake Marsh at any time.
This piece of cake was too tempting, so tempting that no one would not want to eat a piece. No one in the Thousand Poisons Sect had expected that the wasteland of the Endless Snake Marsh would be developed to such an extent by Zhu Wuyang in such a short period of time. It was simply unbelievable.
If it weren’t for the fact that Nine Dragon Mountain and Scorpion Mountain had fought fiercely over the Endless Snake Marsh and paid a great price in the process of fighting over the Endless Snake Marsh, many other mountain ranges would have been unable to resist the urge to make a move.
However, if this matter continued to drag on, it was difficult to guarantee that other mountain ranges would not fight for it.
Zhu Wuyan’s soul lamp had not extinguished yet, and it had already caused such a ruckus. If Zhu Wuyan’s soul lamp had already disappeared, the Endless Snake Marsh would have changed owners immediately.
Even so, the Endless Snake Marsh was not far from changing owners.
Wen Kuizhi, Wang Yuliang, He Sheng, and the others were also at a loss of what to do. Once Cai Chaoan left, without this big backer, those guys who coveted the Endless Snake Marsh would have no scruples.
At this moment, the six ministers heard a tsunami of voices coming from outside.
