#2493 - Your splendor is short-lived after all

In the Changsheng Continent, close to the central region, lies a vast mountain range.

Originally, this mountain range had no resident powers.

After the dark creatures occupied other continents, all major forces relocated to Changsheng.

Now, the Nightmare Clan's territory is located within this mountain range.

They chose a place with many strange peaks and unique ridges.

The heaven and earth essence here is extremely rich.

In the past, the environment here was not like this, far inferior to what it is now.

After the Nightmare Clan moved here, they brought dragon veins.

Every major force has dragon veins, and so does the Nightmare Clan.

They brought the dragon veins from beneath their original territory here, changing the environment.

The Nightmare Clan's current territory has every building constructed between strange peaks and unique ridges, or on the mountainsides of such formations.

They have also opened up many cave dwellings.

All the Nightmare Clan's buildings and cave dwellings appear oppressive, all with a black base tone, giving a sense of gloom from afar.

Within the Nightmare Clan, inside a cave dwelling on a certain mountain, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a jade futon, his complexion somewhat pale, and his spirit not very good.

Several people guarded him nearby.

A young man came from outside the cave dwelling, accompanied by two strong individuals with full spirits and sharp eyes, and an old man with a face full of awe.

The people guarding the middle-aged man inside the cave dwelling, seeing the young man entering, were immediately startled and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"We greet Young Master Hua!"

They saluted respectfully.

"No need for formalities, what's wrong with him? How did he end up like this?"

The young man called Hua Shao had a cold expression, with a hint of displeasure in his words.

The person being treated was an outer elder of his sect.

Although not a strong individual, his realm was very ordinary, only at the Half-Step Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect Saint Immortal Realm, equivalent to the Half-Step Legend of the new system.

But in this God-Ancient World, he could definitely be considered one of the few top experts, moreover, he possessed a Immortal-grade magic weapon.

"Reporting to Young Master Hua, the elder was injured in the Sunset Imperial City, and almost didn't make it back..."

The outer disciples immediately explained the situation in detail.

"A mere Sunset Dynasty actually has such a killing array, imperial aura?

Several Reincarnation Eternal Gods, plus the killing array, severely injured my outer elder.

A Half-Step Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect expert holding an Immortal-grade magic weapon, assassinating a Primordial Divine Realm emperor, not only failed, but almost died there, completely disgracing my Bishui Sect!"

"Young Master Hua, the elder he…"

The outer disciples hesitated.

The elder had already tried his best, almost paying the price of his life, and they felt that this matter should not be blamed on the elder's incompetence, mainly because they had not expected the opponent to have such strength.

"What? You still want to defend him?"

Hua Shao's eyes turned cold.

The outer disciples immediately felt a chill all over their bodies, and couldn't help but shiver, hurriedly saying: "We dare not..."

Hua Shao ignored the outer disciples, turned to look at someone beside him and said: "You tell me about the current situation."

"Yes, Young Master Hua."

The person he asked was an ancient ancestor of the Nightmare Clan, a strong individual in the Reincarnation Eternal God Realm.

He behaved cautiously and tremblingly in front of Hua Shao.

He immediately gave a detailed introduction of the current environment and situation.

"So, the Sunset Empress was assassinated, and until today, the Alliance Fortress has not made any movement?"

"Yes, Young Master Hua.

We have been watching the Sunset Dynasty, and we can confirm that the Sunset Empress has not informed the Alliance about the assassination.

Perhaps it is because the Fortress City is currently under attack by the dark army, so the Sunset Empress made this choice.

Moreover, the strong individuals of the Alliance Fortress need to fight against the dark strong individuals, even if they knew, they would be unable to spare any energy to protect her.

After the battle some time ago, the imperial aura accumulated in the Sunset Imperial City was severely depleted, and the power of the killing array should have weakened.

Half of the Reincarnation Eternal Gods guarding the Sunset Imperial City were seriously injured, and it would be difficult for them to recover in a short time."

"What imperial city killing array, this Young Master doesn't care about it at all.

As for the Sunset Heaven's Reincarnation Eternal Gods guarding the Sunset Imperial City, in this Young Master's eyes, they are just ants that can be killed with a flick of a finger."

Speaking of this, Hua Shao's lips curled into a sneer, "People from other forces have already come to this God-Ancient World, but they have been enduring until now without taking action, watching the Sunset Dynasty develop rapidly.

All these times, every attack by the dark army on the Changsheng Continent has been an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Sunset Dynasty, but those people are too cautious and shrink back."

"What Young Master Hua said is true, they are probably afraid of Jun Yu Nuo and Yue Zhu.

After all, those two have terrifying strength.

They are worried that after the dark army retreats, they will be liquidated by Jun Yu Nuo and Yue Zhu."

"Has the Sunset Dynasty found any clues, do they know the relationship between the assassin of the Sunset Empress and your Nightmare Clan?"

"Reporting to Young Master Hua, I have erased all traces, and the Sunset Dynasty cannot find any clues."

"That's good.

Your Nightmare Clan, after all, is a force that I have supported in this world, and I don't want the Nightmare Clan to get involved in the vortex too early.

I am not a permanent resident of the God-Ancient World sent by the sect, and I don't have the concerns in the hearts of others.

It's just a pity that the one surnamed Jun is not in the Sunset Imperial City, otherwise I would have killed him together, and after returning, I could receive a reward."

The strong individual of the Nightmare Clan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, "Young Master Hua, is the target that the Immortal Sect is looking for, that Jun Wuxie?"

"That's right, it's him.

In the past, I didn't know who the target was, but now it has been confirmed, it is that Jun Wuxie.

I came to God-Ancient this time to see if I could conveniently eliminate him.

I never thought that he had been hiding his tracks for a long time.

It seems that I have no chance to kill him.

After all, I came here not on the sect's orders, and I will only stay for a short time.

However, since the Sunset Dynasty is a force supported by that Jun Wuxie, then I will conveniently kill the Sunset Empress and destroy her imperial city."

"With Young Master Hua's action, the Sunset Empress will definitely be destroyed with a flick of a finger!"

The ancient ancestor of the Nightmare Clan was full of flattery, secretly excited.

That Jun Wuxie cares about the Sunset Empress very much.

Once the Sunset Empress dies, Jun Wuxie's mind will definitely be severely damaged, which he is happy to see.

That damned Jun Wuxie should have been completely wiped out back then.

I thought he had been completely killed, who would have thought that Jun Yu Nuo didn't know what means he used, and actually rescued him, sent him to the lower realm, and deceived all of them!

If he had known earlier that Jun Wuxie was not dead, he could have gone to the lower realm to kill him at that time.

Unfortunately, he knew too late.

"Recently, I heard that Jun Wuxie appeared in the Secret Realm.

However, it is not known from where he entered the Secret Realm.

This person's whereabouts are extremely secretive.

However, since he appeared in the Secret Realm, it is not yet certain whether he already knows about the assassination of the Sunset Empress.

If he already knows, he might secretly go to the Sunset Imperial Palace to visit the Sunset Empress.

Young Master Hua, you might just happen to meet that Jun Wuxie…"

"If that's the case, then that would be great, a great merit, this Young Master will just pick it up!"

Hua Shao grinned and smiled.

Immediately, he ignored the ancient ancestor of the Nightmare Clan and turned to leave.

The two middle-aged strong individuals beside him followed closely.

The ancient ancestor of the Nightmare Clan followed to the entrance of the cave dwelling, watching the figures of Hua Shao and the three others leave, his face also full of smiles.

"Surnamed Jun, you better be in the Sunset Imperial Palace.

As long as you are in the Sunset Imperial Palace, this time see how you escape the inevitable death!

With Hua Shao of the Bishui Sect of the Immortal Domain taking action, you will definitely die, there will be no suspense!"

The strong individual of the Nightmare Clan was very confident, he heard that Hua Shao's realm was very high, he was the direct grandson of a certain elder of the Bishui Sect, his identity and status were not simple.

… …

Outside the Nightmare Clan, above the mountain range, Hua Shao and the two strong individuals beside him were heading towards the Sunset Imperial City.

After walking for a while, the two strong individuals following him finally couldn't help but speak, "Young Master Hua, we think that you better not participate in this matter…"

Hua Shao stopped when he heard this, turned around and looked coldly at the two strong individuals, "Are you stopping this Young Master?"

"No, we dare not, we just feel that Young Master Hua does not need to participate in this matter.

The sect will make arrangements.

Young Master Hua, you are a Da Luo Immortal Lord Realm genius.

You came to God-Ancient across the realm, and suffered the impact of order in the realm passage, and now even the strength of the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm cannot be fully exerted.

In case, the Sunset Dynasty is already prepared and has hidden means…"

"Are you saying that this Young Master might be in danger?"

Hua Shao couldn't help but sneer, "This is the God-Ancient World, not our Tiangang Great World!

In this world, the strongest is only the Reincarnation Eternal God.

Moreover, they are all in the Fortress City fighting against the dark strong individuals.

This Young Master is just going to the Sunset Imperial City to kill an empress, what danger can there be.

That Jun Wuxie might be in the Imperial Palace, kill him, and this Young Master can receive great merit, maybe he can get the Emperor's blessing because of this!

This is a great opportunity!

Otherwise, why do you think this Young Master came to the God-Ancient World hiding it from the sect's higher-ups!

This Young Master's time is limited, and I can't afford to delay, you must not say any more words of persuasion!

Otherwise, I will think that you are trying to cut off this Young Master's opportunity!"

"This…"

The two middle-aged strong individuals didn't know how to speak for a while.

Hua Shao had already said the words to such a point.

If the two of them continued to persuade him, he might have murderous intent.

They no longer spoke, silently following behind Hua Shao, all the way towards the Sunset Imperial City.

Truth be told, with Hua Shao's strength, he could indeed crush everything in his path. The Sunset Dynasty's Reincarnation Eternal Gods and killing formations were simply no match for him.

Even though Hua Shao currently only possessed a portion of the strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, it was still an insurmountable force for the Sunset Dynasty.

However, they still felt a faint sense of unease in their hearts.

After all, the people dispatched by other forces had long since arrived in the Divine Ancient World, but they had been lying dormant within their respective forces, never emerging.

What exactly were they waiting for?

Were they waiting for their strength to recover?

But that was simply impossible. In this world, it was very difficult to recover.

After all, the drop in strength was the result of being impacted by the order of this world within the Boundary Road.

Unless they returned to the Tian罡 Great World, they would continue to be affected by the order, and they would never be able to fully recover to the strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal or above.

… …

Outside the Sunset Imperial City.

Hua Shao stood on a mountain peak, overlooking the entire imperial city, "Such an aura is quite impressive, with a vibrant and thriving vitality.

Empress, Dynasty, Jun Wuxie… …

I have to say, you are truly a remarkably talented person with no small amount of skill.

The Upper, Lower, and Divine Ancient Realms – your legendary journey of growth could be written into a mythical epic.

Unfortunately, your brilliance is destined to be short-lived, your ending already predetermined.

Let's go, follow me into the city."

Hua Shao walked with his hands behind his back, his head full of black hair flying in the wind, striding through the air towards the Sunset Dynasty.
