Unwillingness welled up in their hearts. The old beggar and the others hated themselves for being born in the wrong era.
But thinking about it, even if they were born tens of thousands of years earlier and successfully became a saint, they would still die here!
Therefore, everyone was most concerned about their own lives!
The old beggar did not know where his courage came from, but he questioned, "Old beggar, I just want to know one thing. How did so many Holy Spirit Experts die?"
The ten Sky Demons and Dao Ancestor Qiankun silently retreated, afraid that the Martial Saint would suddenly explode and kill them.
The Martial Saint sighed helplessly, "They did indeed die at our hands."
He admitted it!
Those hundreds of Holy Spirit Experts had indeed died at the hands of the Four Saints!
"But I had no other choice."
The Martial Saint explained, "Do you know that the spirit energy in the outside world had already dried up two to three hundred thousand years ago, and the spirit energy in the Falling Star Continent was also constantly leaking out with this whirlpool.
It was the four of us who worked together to set up the array to seal the spirit energy, allowing the living beings of the Falling Star Continent to still enjoy the prosperity of spirit cultivation. "
Leng Shiqi and the others were somewhat skeptical. According to the ten Sky Demons, the Four Saints wanted to devour the power of many Holy Spirit Experts to transcend this world.
But the Martial Saint said that they were the spirit cultivators protecting the Falling Star Continent.
Who was the one who was lying?
Sacred Sovereign Wu Ji snapped his fingers, and a series of profound Sacred Aura Arrays appeared, firmly locking the vortex in place.
"This saint is not lying to you, and the ten Sky Demons are not wrong.
Although the four of us are at the peak of the Holy Spirit Realm, we do not have unlimited power.
Furthermore, the will of the heavens and earth has already taken away our recognition, and our power is constantly weakening.
In order to continue maintaining the array, we persuaded the Holy Spirit Experts to help us.
However, without exception, they did not mean what they said, and all of them thought of ways to return to the Falling Star Continent. Thus, we made a decision. "
At this point, he stopped talking, but everyone knew what decision they had made.
That was to kill the Holy Spirit Realm experts that came later and take away their power!
From the looks of it, the Four Saints did not seem to be that sinister, and were thinking for the spirit cultivators of the Falling Star Continent.
But were they really so selfless?
Leng Shiqi couldn't believe it!
Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost. Not to mention the Four Saints, even the current Leng Shiqi could behead countless people with a single word.
If the Four Saints did not have any selfish motives, they would not have left the Falling Star Continent so resolutely.
The Ten Sky Demons immediately sneered, "Nonsense! You've never mentioned this. We were attacked as soon as we approached!"
"That's right, our original intention had always been to protect the Spirit Cultivators of the Starfall Dynasty, but as time passed, as more and more Holy Spirit Experts died at our hands, as we became more and more dissatisfied with this world, in the end, we still became bedeviled!"
As Sacred Venerate Wu Ji spoke, a black mark appeared between his eyebrows, causing his aura to become extremely evil.
However, the imprint immediately disappeared. "It's not entirely correct to say that we've gone berserk. To be precise, we've gone berserk on our own accord.
Since the later generations are not willing to be with us, we can only make them stay here forever.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and we've absorbed a large amount of Saint Energy and Saint Souls. More than half of them have been used to maintain the formation, and the rest have been divided equally among the four of us.
About a hundred thousand years ago, our strength reached an unprecedented peak. At that time, we felt that we might as well directly swallow all the power of the Falling Star Continent, shatter the void, and transcend this world!
Unfortunately, at that time, the world changed greatly. From then on, the whirlpool would erupt with great turbulence every once in a while. We had to go all out to barely maintain it.
Once the formation is broken, the spirit energy of the Falling Star Continent will dissipate within a few years. We have no time to set up anything else in advance.
Until now, the number of times the whirlpool has erupted has increased, and it has been a long time since a Holy Spirit Expert has entered. Our strength has been declining, until ten thousand years ago, we even had to abandon our bodies to survive in the form of Saint Souls.
This is the truth that has been hidden for hundreds of thousands of years. Do you understand? "
Everyone was deeply shocked. It turned out that for hundreds of thousands of years, the Four Saints had endured humiliation and even took the initiative to become bedeviled. They even gave up their bodies to protect the Falling Star Continent!
Even if they had their own selfish motives, in the end, they still gave up on their selfishness.
Of course, the premise of all of this was that the Martial Saint did not lie to them. After saying so much, it seemed like everything could be matched, but in the end, it was still the Martial Saint's own words. No one could verify the truth of these words.
Leng Shiqi probed: "In the past, there were Holy Spirit Experts that came in and became your strength, and we only have a few Heaven Ascension Stage s. To the dignified Four Saints, this bit of strength is not even a drop in the ocean.
Therefore, junior dares to guess that the Four Saint Lords do not want to kill us and take away our power. "
"You can still maintain such a clear mind. Not bad."
"Junior will make another guess. The four Saint Venerables might still need our help, right?"
"That's right!" This time, the one who spoke was not the Martial Saint, but the Six Directions Saint!
At the same time, the Holy Sage Luo Ying and the Holy Sage Huang Wei also appeared. The Six Directions Saint said: "The few of you are the strongest Spirit Cultivator in the Falling Star Continent right now. This saint hopes that the few of you can help us a little, and wish that we can transcend the Middle Origin World.
We have protected the Falling Star Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, and we have done our best. Now, it is time for them to repay us. "
Although he did not say it clearly, Leng Shiqi could feel that if the Four Saints wanted to transcend this world, the Falling Star Continent would not have a good ending.
The Four Saints who had protected the continent for hundreds of thousands of years had ended up destroying the Falling Star Continent!
Leng Shiqi was not a good person, but he had planned for ten years to devour the world. Now, the plan had been fully activated, and the two great empires were at war.
If the plan went smoothly, the Falling Star Continent would be his before long!
However, at this moment, the Four Saints were prepared to take away his things, and even destroy them to help themselves.
How could Leng Shiqi agree?
Holy Sage Luo Ying continued, "First of all, you have to understand that we are not asking for your opinions.
After we send you out, there are two things you need to do.
First, there are four dragon veins in the Falling Star Continent. I will tell you the exact location later. You must obtain those four dragon veins, not a single one of them can be missing.
Second, this saint will give you a type of array formation. You must set it up in a set place within ten years. If there is the slightest deviation, you should be very clear about the consequences. "
With that, Holy Sage Luo Ying flicked his finger, and four rays of golden light entered the space between Leng Shiqi and the rest's brows. They immediately knew everything.
