The Ancient Land of the Divine Wilderness was in chaos.
Just as Long Chen was refining the divine bones with the Divine Refinement Flame, the situation finally changed.
Almost half of the teams that entered the Ancient Land of the Divine Wilderness were disturbed by the Nian beasts, and some invisible killers even appeared.
In this chaos, there were many casualties.
Some killed each other, some were bitten by the Desolate Beasts, some were killed by the Elemental Spirit Array, and some died mysteriously. In short, the scene was chaotic.
However, the Ancient City of Divine Descendants was the Ancient City of Divine Descendants after all.
The calamity this time also brought great training for the disciples. In the situation where they were separated from their elders, many of them quickly grasped many survival skills.
When they realized the seriousness of the matter, the chiefs also made a prompt decision. They used star talismans to summon their disciples and joined forces to kill the Nian beasts. In a short period of time, a large number of Nian beasts died, and there were fewer and fewer Nian beasts. The largest Nian beasts were also slaughtered within a day.
Some powerful Desolate Beasts were also suppressed by the experts of the Ancient City of Divine Descendants.
In the following period of time, the chiefs quickly reorganized and helped each other. The 72 Ancient City of Divine Descendants united, disregarding their past grievances, and soon, the teams were completely reunited.
More than ten teams from the Ancient City of Divine Descendants gathered under a tall mountain. Among them, the teams from the Radiance Divine City, Profound Ice Divine City, Giant Miracle Divine City, and Ancient City of Martial God were all here.
Su Zilan's eyes were calm as she stood at the front of the Ancient City of Martial God's team.
In the past few days, she had displayed a strong mental fortitude and quickly rescued a large number of disciples with star talismans.
The originally valiant ancestral worship team suffered heavy casualties because of the Nian beasts' attack. The team that originally had more than 40 people was reduced sharply.
The disciples wore miserable looks on their faces, their hearts pounding in fear.
The five Samsara Tribulation Realm deputy commanders were counting the number of people.
After that, one of the commanders walked in front of Su Zilan.
"Commander, I've found those who can use star talismans to send messages. Among them, 13 are temporarily in other teams from the Ancient City of Divine Descendants and are under their protection. They will return after reaching the Divine Sea."
"How many people haven't returned? Who are they?"
Su Zilan asked coldly, her short hair fluttering in the air.
The vice commander's face was pale. He trembled a few times, but he still reported as usual, "Currently, we haven't found a total of fourteen disciples. Nine of them are branch family disciples, while five of the main family disciples are missing. They are: Su Tian Zhou, Su Yu Yao, Su Yu Ji, Su Chonghuan, Long Chen …"
Although she already knew who was missing, Su Zilan's heart still bled when she heard his report.
For those who couldn't even contact the star talisman, except for one exception, the possibility of them surviving was very low. Although Su Zilan prioritized rescuing the disciples of the Zong Clan, she couldn't save their lives.
Among them, Su Chonghuan was her son.
"Huan 'er was the youngest, so it's normal that I couldn't save him in time. But Yuji, Yuyao, and the three people from the Heaven Continent shouldn't have died."
Su Tianzhou's body had been found.
But Su Yuji and Su Yuyao were not found.
Su Zilan had communicated with them using the star talisman and obtained their location. She knew that they encountered an Elemental Spiritual Array, which led to Su Tianzhou's death, but they were safe.
Because they were powerful and had many treasures such as the Fire Phoenix Feather, Su Zilan temporarily put them aside. But she didn't expect to lose contact with them when she arrived …
Su Mu Chen lowered his head and didn't move.
"As for Long Chen, Tian Yuan and Nine Nether once chased after him. But he obtained an ancient Dao Artifact and was extremely fast. He temporarily escaped and didn't seem to want to follow us." The vice commander murmured.
"Oh, I see. Let's get ready and set off for the Deity Sea together."
Su Zilan said.
"Are we not going to catch Long Chen?" The vice commander asked doubtfully.
Su Zilan shook her head and said, "No, he can't escape from me."
A total of a dozen teams from the Ancient City of Divine Descendants gathered together. This time, they advanced carefully.
The chaotic storm in the Ancient Land of Divine Wilderness gradually calmed down.
As they walked, a few Presidents gathered together. They no longer had the competitive expression on their faces, only solemnity.
One of them said, "I have sent the news back. Everyone."
Everyone nodded.
"After the City Lords discuss, they will probably give us the next step."
Soon, they received the notice.
"Continue to worship the ancestors. Etiquette must not be forgotten."
Generally speaking, everyone had more or less received the same notification.
This time, the Vice Commanders were completely scattered to protect the disciples. Since the Nian beasts were almost all killed, there wouldn't be any more danger.
Pang Zhong, the Giant Miracle Divine City's Vice Commander, came forward and said to Su Zilan and Bing Qingxue, "I heard that other than the Vice Commanders, everyone else in some divine cities was destroyed. I think there's only one kind of enemy that has the courage to do so."
"The Demon Race." Bing Qingxue's face was ashen as she uttered these two words with hatred.
Su Zilan clenched her fists.
Because of this chaos, not only did Su Yuji and Su Yuyao disappear, even her own son was dead …
She could naturally guess that it must be the Demon Race that could control the Nian beasts to such a degree. Unfortunately, when she first heard about the Nian beasts, she didn't pay much attention.
Pang Zhong said again, "I heard that the enemy's goal is not us. They just want to create chaos in our ancient cities. The real reason is that they want to kill that one …"
This sentence successfully attracted the attention of the two women.
"Which one?" Bing Qingxue was still a little confused.
Su Zilan said in a low voice, "Who else could it be? The Emperor Jun Divine City is the number one city in the world, and the Supreme Sovereign God Di Jun is the number one god in the ancient times. In the past twenty years, the Emperor Jun Divine City has given birth to an unprecedented super genius called Di Yu. Although the Emperor Jun Divine City has covered it up very well, the news still leaked out, and the Demon Race knows about it. This genius can be said to be unprecedented, and no one will be able to surpass him in the future. Although he's only twenty years old, he has already moved the Demon Race. This time, the child called 'Di Yu' came to the Battlefield of the Gods, and the main goal of the Demon Race should be to kill him.
"That child …" Bing Qingxue sucked in a breath of cold air and said helplessly, "Although he's only twenty years old, he has become the only true hope of becoming a god in a million years. His birth has moved the entire Eternal God Realm, and the Demon Race can't hold it in anymore. Rumor has it that when he was born, the current number one Dragon Emperor of the Eternal Dragon City personally came to take him as his disciple, and promised that when he reaches the Rebirth Realm, he will personally bestow the Ultimate God Dragon's essence blood … The number one god in the ancient times, Di Jun, is the strongest of the Immemorial Gods, and is the strongest human since the extinction of the Divine Dragons. This Di Yu is like a rebirth of Di Jun, with eighty percent of his blood, he's not on the same level as us, and with the Ultimate God Dragon's essence blood …"
Su Zilan said helplessly, "Although he's only twenty years old, I'm sure that in this lifetime, this child will surpass the number one expert of the Eternal God Realm in a million years, and reach the Realm of Gods."
Hearing the words "number one expert of the Eternal God Realm in a million years," the other two had a strange look in their eyes. Pang Zhong said, "Sister Zilan, the Eternal Dragon Emperor is a taboo, it's best not to mention him. He is indeed a super legend of our human race, and I grew up listening to his stories. But the Eternal Dragon Emperor … sigh, let's not talk about him."
Su Zilan bit her lips and said, "The number one genius of the Eternal God Realm … What a pity."
Bing Qingxue said, "It's not a pity at all, he only has himself to blame. This Di Yu of the Emperor Jun Divine City will soon surpass the legend he created. Just watch."
Along the way, the wind surged, and sand and pebbles flew.
The disciples were in a trance.
As for the three chief commanders, they were deep in thought as they recalled the past.
"After this, Di Yu's name will definitely be known. When that time comes, his name will be the most resounding in the Eternal God Realm. Not only will the Yao race be unable to hold back, the Oceanfolk, the Witch race, the Spirit race, and the tens of thousands of Ten Thousand Ancient Races will all be afraid. One Eternal Dragon Emperor is enough to scare them to death."
Looking ahead, Su Zilan realized that she still had faith in that person. No matter what the reality was, she couldn't hide the worship in her heart, even if it was laughable and foolish in the eyes of others.
But there were always people who felt that this man was different.
The Eternal Dragon Emperor, Long Qinglan.
After him, no one else could live up to this name.
The group moved forward through the forest. Aside from some wild beasts and elemental spirit formations, they didn't encounter any other threats.
They were about to cross the barren mountain range in front of them, and soon they would reach the Divine Sea.
Hope was right in front of them.
The Battlefield of the Gods was the battlefield of the ancestors of the gods.
Everyone had a deep yearning for this place.
In the Divine Sea, the ancient cities of the seventy-two demigods would gather.
The powerful cities in the central region would also show themselves.
Emperor Jun Divine City, Qingxu Divine City, Randeng Divine City, Puti Divine City, Taiyi Divine City, Primordial Divine City, and so on …
Walking through the barren mountain range, the descendants of the gods who'd been bitten by a snake were scared.
"This is … the aura of the Yao race."
A few leaders gathered together and looked to the east. They did not understand why there would be such an unbridled Fey aura appearing here. It was not a desolate beast. With just a whiff, they could definitely tell that it was a Fey …
"Let's go take a look."
The captains went to protect their own teams, then sent their vice captains towards the source of the Yao aura. They had a feeling that there was a Great Yao up ahead, and that it might be the mastermind.
