Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 850: Ruthless Palace

The Ruthless Palace...

It is an eternal-level force founded by the Empress Yunxiao, a demon ancestor of the Cangnan Continent.

Within the Demon Clan, it holds an unparalleled status.

Every member of the Demon Clan feels reverence whenever they see someone from the Ruthless Palace.

After all, the demon ancestor once turned the tide when the Demon Race Mansion was about to collapse, thus establishing a situation where the demon and human races each shared half of the world.

All members of the Demon Clan greatly revere Mother Yunxiao.

It can be said that Mother Yunxiao is a deity in the hearts of all demons.

"Strange, why is it the Ruthless Palace? Why... would they get involved in this mess?"

The white-clad young lady was lost in thought, murmuring to herself.

The Ruthless Palace rarely appears in the world, extremely mysterious, like a divine dragon that only shows its head but not its tail.

Even in her long life, she had never seen anyone from the Ruthless Palace.

Though she had never seen them,

almost all demons are well aware of the style and color of the robes typically worn by the Ruthless Palace, knowing that the successors of the Ruthless Palace cultivate the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path, exuding coldness and ruthlessness from their bones.

Due to the position of the demon ancestor, and the Ruthless Palace being an eternal-level force, no one in the demon clan dares to impersonate a disciple of the Ruthless Palace.

"Big brother, the arrival of the Ruthless Palace is ill-intentioned..."

The Monster Ling Ling Sect Master’s eyes revealed fear as he lowered his head, unable to suppress sending a transmission.

The reason for his fear lies in the fact that for any demon clan member, the Ruthless Palace is a colossus none dare provoke.

The Monster Ling Ling is merely a supreme-level super sect, far inferior to the eternal-level Ruthless Palace.

Although among their eight brothers, there are also eternal realm experts, compared to the Ruthless Palace, they are still lacking.

To take a step back.

They dare not challenge the Ruthless Palace, not just because of strength, but because the Ruthless Palace, founded by the demon ancestor, is the sacred land of the Demon Clan.

Engaging in a war with the Ruthless Palace would equate to betraying the entire demon clan, making it impossible for Monster Ling Ling to survive on the Cangnan Continent.

....

"I know, but what can we do, let’s first see what their intentions are!"

The white-clad young lady sighed, her willow brows furrowed, responding helplessly.

Though strong, she too did not wish to antagonize the Ruthless Palace.

After all, her goal was to traverse the Ancient Road to Heaven towards the dreamlike Divine Land, not to pit herself against such a giant as the Ruthless Palace on the Cangnan Continent. If she were to suffer an injury, her plans for the Divine Land would shatter.

On the other side.

"My heavens, it’s actually the people of the Ruthless Palace come..."

Master Ouyang exclaimed in shock.

As an eternal-level force, how could the Ruthless Palace participate in an artifact refining assembly hosted by a supreme-level super sect? This truly was unusual.

"Master Ouyang, the Ruthless Palace is the utmost sacred land of the Demon Clan, and the demon ancestor Empress Yunxiao is highly revered by all demons. Might their visit to the artifact refining assembly be to claim the Dragon-subduing Cauldron?"

An elder standing beside Master Ouyang whispered.

"Who wouldn’t be tempted by a divine-level treasure?"

Master Ouyang said bitterly.

He was also tempted, but unfortunately, too weak.

"Looks like the Dragon-subduing Cauldron that just landed in Monster Ling Ling’s hands is about to fly away again..."

The elder laughed.

On the platform.

All artifact refiners gazed in shock at the five successors of the Ruthless Palace.

For most of them.

This might be the only time they see successors of an eternal-level force in their lifetime.

Let alone the ever-mysterious Ruthless Palace.

At this moment, standing at the eye of the storm, Ye Yun’s face showed a peculiar expression.

"Ruthless Palace, isn’t this the force founded by Yunxiao?"

He mused in his heart.

According to the power hierarchy on the Cangnan Continent, the Ruthless Palace is an eternal-level force, strong enough to counter human eternal-level sects.

Logically, an artifact refining assembly hosted by a super sect would never attract an eternal-level sect’s arrival.

Why have five disciples of the Ruthless Palace suddenly appeared here?

Could it be they have their eyes on the Bronze Treasure Box in my possession?

Or have they set their sights on the divine-level Dragon-subduing Cauldron?

"Master, the Original Stone is beside you, ready for you to take."

The white-clad young lady expressed indifferently, secretly transmitting a message to Ye Yun.

"Understood."

Ye Yun chuckled lightly.

The young woman from the Ruthless Palace, with a cold gaze shifting from the Dragon-subduing Cauldron to the white-clad young lady, asked indifferently: "Young lady, are you the figure behind Monster Ling Ling?"

"Sort of!"

The white-clad young lady nodded, barely forcing a smile on her solemn face, politely inquiring: "May I ask what important matters bring the Ruthless Palace to our Monster Ling Ling’s Piaomiao Peak?"

"We, the Ruthless Palace, desire this piece of Original Stone."

The young woman said calmly.

They want the Original Stone?

Why not the Dragon-subduing Cauldron?

The white-clad young lady was momentarily stunned, clearly the visitor’s purpose was far beyond her prior predictions.

Seeing the white-clad young lady silent, the young woman of the Ruthless Palace raised her brow, coldly querying: "What? Are you worried that we won’t exchange heavenly materials and earthly treasures for your Original Stone?"

The white-clad young lady bowed slightly, apologetically smiling: "Friend, I’m afraid this piece of Original Stone cannot be given to your Ruthless Palace, for my Dragon-subduing Cauldron was repaired with the Master’s assistance, and the agreed upon payment was this Original Stone!"

The young woman’s demeanor turned colder, retorting: "You mean to say you won’t offer this Original Stone to our Ruthless Palace?"

The white-clad young lady’s expression turned stern.

She suddenly spoke slowly: "I’m sorry, friend, I, Gu Anran, have always placed great importance on commitments in my life. Three months ago, the news of the artifact refining assembly was spread across the land, promising a piece of Original Stone to any champion. Once spoken, this promise cannot be retracted!"

"Is Monster Ling Ling counting on having eternal realm cultivators and thus disregarding our Ruthless Palace?"

The young woman trembled with anger, coldly questioning.

"The demon ancestor is the spiritual leader of our Demon Clan, and the Ruthless Palace is the holy land of our Demon Clan..."

Gu Anran replied with unwavering composure: "If there were two Original Stones, I would indeed offer the second piece to the Ruthless Palace unconditionally, without taking a penny!"

"You!"

The young woman’s face flushed, choked by Gu Anran’s words, leaving her speechless.

"Senior sister, this piece of Original Stone is crucial, we cannot afford to lose it! If Monster Ling Ling remains oblivious, we will have no choice but to seize it!"

A man beside her coldly stated.

"That’s the only way!"

The young woman said grimly, her aura suddenly intensifying.

The five of them all possessed eternal realm cultivation.

However, the highest cultivation among them was the sixth layer of the Eternal Realm.

Yet on Piaomiao Peak.

Facing Gu Anran, at the peak of the tenth layer of the Eternal Realm, they still dared to seize by force.

The reason for their audacity.

They believed that Monster Ling Ling would never dare to act.

Once they took action.

It would equate to Monster Ling Ling declaring war on the Ruthless Palace!
