This enraged everyone directly.
“We didn’t take it! We don’t know who took the Pure Yang Root; maybe it was the True Dragon Clan! Besides, who saw us taking the Pure Yang Root? You were the closest!”
Dongfang Mingyue remained unfazed, instead playing the victim, coldly looking at the crowd: “Or are you trying to use this as an excuse to stir up a war?”
“If that’s really the case, stop pretending. If you want to fight, then let’s fight! Our Primordial Holy Land has never been afraid!”
With those words, the Pure Yang Holy Land, the Supreme Dao Sect, and the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty released their emperor weapons in perfect unison.
Boom.
Six emperor weapons hovered over the sky, their overwhelming might nearly collapsing the entire heavens and earth.
“You’re slandering us! Who doesn’t know that your Primordial Holy Land possesses the emperor weapon of the Void Dao? Only you could have taken the Pure Yang Root right before all of us, and the aura just now was indeed from that mirror!” A powerhouse from the Golden Crow Clan glared angrily, rebuking repeatedly.
He was almost spitting blood; the Primordial Holy Land had taken the item but wouldn’t admit it?
“If you continue framing us, our Primordial Holy Land will annihilate you first!”
The Third Ancestor coldly stared at the Golden Crow Clan, the almost tangible killing intent made one shudder: “You were closest to the Pure Yang Root and had an emperor weapon, it couldn’t have bypassed several emperor weapons’ might to directly snatch the Pure Yang Root!”
“I rather think it was you who took the Pure Yang Root and framed us out of fear of being found out! It doesn’t matter if it was your Golden Crow Clan framing us, but if anyone dares attack us, our first target will be your clan!”
“I want to see if your Golden Crow Clan’s emperor weapons are more formidable, or if our Primordial Holy Land’s three emperor weapons are!” As he spoke, the three emperor weapons exerted pressure, their vast might enveloping downwards.
The faces of the Golden Crow Clan’s powerful cultivators turned pale instantly. If the Primordial Holy Land really intended to go all out against them, they were undoubtedly doomed.
Previously, they were so assertive because the ancient imperial clans were united, standing together.
But now…
He glanced around, noticing that the other ancient imperial clans seemed to be ignoring them, afraid of drawing the wrath of the Primordial Holy Land upon themselves. They still greatly feared the Primordial Holy Land.
Seeing this, the Golden Crow Clan’s anger flared up immediately, coldly saying: “Are you going to let the Primordial Holy Land oppress us ancient imperial clans out of fear? Are you just going to let them take the Pure Yang Root?”
As his words fell, Huang Tian immediately spoke: “Primordial Holy Land, you can’t fool us. Given the situation just now, only you in the Nine Heavens Realm could do it!”
He wasn’t defending the Golden Crow Clan but wanted the Primordial Holy Land to hand over the Pure Yang Root.
“Our Primordial Holy Land doesn’t need to fool anyone. We simply don’t have it!” The Third Ancestor appeared extremely impatient and said: “If you persist, we don’t mind collaborating with the True Dragon Clan!”
“Although the True Dragon Clan has declined, I believe they would still be willing to join us in taking action against you!”
Huang Tian’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying: “Are you threatening us?”
“Hmm! It’s a threat!” The Third Ancestor said indifferently, his gaze cold and domineering: “What of it if I threaten you?”
“We say we don’t have it, and if you continue to pester, the fate of the Gu family will be yours! If I can destroy the Gu family, I can certainly wipe out any ancient imperial clan at will!”
“You needn’t rally other ancient imperial clans; if anyone dares jump in, the Primordial Holy Land will pursue them relentlessly, making them the first target for annihilation! I believe you know the Primordial Holy Land is capable of this!” His icy words fell.
The surroundings immediately fell into silence. Because, as the Third Ancestor had stated, the Primordial Holy Land could indeed accomplish it. The presence of three emperor weapons was their greatest strength and confidence.
The human race was content to watch the spectacle. After all, the Pure Yang Root was not that important to them.
“If the ancient imperial clans want to join forces against the Primordial Holy Land, why not ask whether we, the human race, agree or not?”
“If you wish to go to war, our Great Gan Dynasty is ready to accompany you at any time!” a rugged-looking man said slowly. He was the emperor of the Great Gan Dynasty.
“The Great Li Dynasty feels the same!”
“As part of the human race, the Ye family will not stand idly by!”
“The Ten Thousand Buddha Sect is ready to accompany you at any time!”
The various human factions spoke up. It wasn’t that they had a particularly close relationship with the Primordial Holy Land, but they were unwilling to allow the ancient imperial clans to oppress them and form alliances to attack. This was something the human forces could not ignore.
They could ignore a one-on-one conflict, but if all the ancient imperial clans teamed up against a single faction, the human race would not allow it.
Like the ancient imperial clans, the human race usually engaged in overt and covert struggles. However, when it came to matters involving the human race, most factions would unite and stand as one.
“If the human race wants to start a great war, then we, the ancient imperial clans, will accompany you to the end!” Huang Tian said through gritted teeth.
“No! Our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan will not participate! The Pure Yang Root has nothing to do with us, and the Immortal Phoenix Clan cannot represent our clan’s intentions!”
Immediately, a voice rang out, like a slap in Huang Tian’s face, making him extremely embarrassed and unable to maintain his composure. While the human race was so united, the ancient imperial clans were a scattered mess, which made Huang Tian immensely angry.
“In this situation, do you wish to withdraw from the ancient imperial clans?” Huang Tian glared at the strong figure from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and said in a deep voice.
“If you want to fight over the Pure Yang Root, that’s your business, but our clan will not participate!” The strong figure from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan snorted coldly: “Besides, what benefit does the Pure Yang Root bring to our clan, even if we manage to seize it?”
“There is only one Pure Yang Root; which side should it go to? Should it only be given to the Immortal Phoenix Clan? Moreover, once a great war begins, both sides will suffer heavy losses; how will you account for that?”
“Don’t say that the Immortal Phoenix Clan can bear it; what do you have to bear it with!” She had long been displeased.
She was there to watch the spectacle, not to engage in a great war. Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with them, and yet they were expected to participate and pay the price for it. How could they be willing?
If the contested item benefited all parties, that would be another matter. Obviously, the contested item was only useful to the three major ancient imperial clans; even if they managed to seize it, it wouldn’t benefit them. Since they wouldn’t benefit, why should they participate?
She didn’t want to risk the future of her entire clan for the benefit of others!
“Our Black Tortoise Clan also won’t participate!”
“The Qilin Clan will not participate!”
The other ancient imperial clans also expressed their opinions one after another.
Seeing this, the White Tiger Clan pondered for a moment and felt it wasn’t worthwhile either. The Pure Yang Root had no unique benefits for them, so what was the use of participating?
“The White Tiger Clan will not participate either!”
With the withdrawal of the White Tiger Clan, the three major ancient imperial clans quickly fell silent. It seemed they had not anticipated this situation at all.
Almost simultaneously, a terrifying aura rose from the Land of Heaven’s Abandonment. Soon, a figure emerged, standing with hands behind his back, walking like a dragon and a tiger, surveying the world like an emperor.
He looked down at everyone with extreme arrogance and said, “The Pure Yang Root belongs to our ancestor. Whoever took it, hand it over quickly! Otherwise, you will suffer the same catastrophe as the Taiyi Holy Land of the past!”
These words sent shockwaves through the crowd.
