There wasn’t a hint of pity or sorrow for Suspended Mountain.
After all, no sooner had Suspended Mountain emerged than it sought to dominate West State, coercing numerous Sect Forces into submission with an extremely aggressive stance that brooked no resistance or rejection.
The Sect Forces of West State were already extremely dissatisfied with this, merely capitulating due to the forced circumstances and the too great disparity in strength.
Now, seeing Suspended Mountain in trouble, they were hardly likely to not take delight in its misfortune.
Moreover, that mysterious strong individual clearly only targeted Suspended Mountain, not laying a finger on these newly submissive subordinate forces.
For a moment, the Sect Forces in West State began to entertain wandering thoughts.
And this was precisely the outcome Lu Qing hoped to see.
As long as Suspended Mountain could not control West State, it would be very difficult to divert manpower to cross several major states and trouble Jiuli Village in Cang State.
“This Spiritual Fire is truly terrifying, but who exactly is that mysterious attacker on Suspended Mountain?”
In Lingshan Mountain Range, several gigantic flying birds hovered above, their faces showing shock as they gazed at the still unextinguished flames below in the forest.
In particular, seeing that huge, clearly smashed crater atop the majestic mountain peak, their hearts and spirits were greatly shaken.
They found it somewhat unimaginable just what kind of terrifying force could cause such a shocking spectacle.
“No matter who it is, being able to wield such a force, that mysterious strong individual’s cultivation is unfathomably deep!” the leading young man on top of a gigantic flying bird said with a heavy expression.
“Isn’t it rumored that the individual used a Magical Treasure to cause such a devastating attack?”
“Magical Treasures also require a certain realm and cultivation to wield. Judging by the situation below, whatever was used must be at least a Treasure level Magical Treasure or higher.
To even activate such a Magical Treasure requires immense Spiritual Power, which gives an indication of how profound that individual’s cultivation must be.
I speculate that at the very least, they are a strong person on the level of an ancestral master.
It’s just unknown what exactly Suspended Mountain did to provoke such an individual to stoop so low as to take action against these ordinary disciples of Suspended Mountain.”
The young man analyzed in a grave tone.
“A strong person on the level of an ancestral master…”
Those who heard this had even more shocked expressions.
In their minds, an ancestral master was nearly invincible, and to think of another strong individual on the same level was incredibly daunting.
“Senior Brother, should we still pay a visit to Suspended Mountain?”
A girl looked down at the tragic scene below and hesitantly asked.
In her perception, it seemed as though the mountain range below was deserted, with no one moving about.
“There’s no need now. Originally, I wanted to visit and inquire about that mysterious strong individual.
But now it seems that the people of Suspended Mountain have likely retreated back into their secret realm.
After suffering such losses, they’re probably like startled birds.
To visit them now would be inappropriate. Let’s go back,” the young man shook his head.
With so many elders and disciples dead on Suspended Mountain, who knew what their current mood was.
If they paid a visit, and it just happened to exacerbate the anger of the other side, knowing the past tyranny of Suspended Mountain, predicting what might happen was impossible.
So, in the end, the young man decided to return to his sect.
After all, they had already gathered plenty of information on this trip.
The young man was the Senior Brother of those Cloud Water Secret Realm disciples, and naturally, no one contradicted his decision.
Immediately, the group steered their gigantic flying birds and turned to leave.
“People from Cloud Water Secret Realm are gone,”
someone said in a soft voice as several gigantic flying birds passed over a small city, looking up.
“Suspended Mountain has now hidden in the secret realm, tightly closed its gates. They won’t find any useful information, what else could they do but leave?” Another figure spoke.
“I really didn’t expect the mighty Suspended Mountain to be forced into such a state, not even able to leave their gates. What’s the origin of that mysterious strong individual?
Controlling a Spiritual Artifact is something none of us from the Four Great Secret Realms can achieve.
Could it be that besides us from the Four Great Secret Lands, there’s some other mysterious force hidden in this world?”
“At the end of the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, many Immortal Sects began to fight openly and in the shadows, killing each other in the struggle for the slots on the Breaking Realm Ship.
Not to mention those Loose Cultivators with Primordial Spirit Great Powers also in contention.
Many Cultivation Sects were destroyed, and it’s normal for Spiritual Artifacts to fall into external hands.”
“This mysterious expert must have been blessed with destiny and obtained an ancient relic or heritage.”
“It seems that after the changes in the world and the resurgence of spiritual energy, the changes in the external world will exceed our expectations.
Just the transformation of destiny alone is profoundly unpredictable.
No wonder the Palace Master wants us to enter the world. For tens of thousands of years, we, the Four Great Secret Places, have been hidden in secret realms, spared from the pain of the world’s spiritual energy depletion.
However, we likewise could not receive the destiny of the outside world.
If we don’t come out and accumulate destiny, I fear many opportunities will no longer come our way.”
