Chapter 745 – Content of the Divine Scrolls

Zhan Fengting looked around and said in a deep voice, “The reason why Heaven’s Wail is happening is because evil Qi cultivators are deliberately doing so. Now it’s only the North Land, but we can easily perceive that they have a tendency to spread in the other three directions. According to the current expansion speed, they will spread to the whole North Land in less than a month, then to the West Land and East Land, and even the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital, until all have suffered in this disaster.”

Then, Zhan Fengting waved again, and a picture of evil spirits invading the city appeared on the wall of pictures.

Extremely long limbs, creatures that were ugly and similar to human beings were rushing out of those purple evil Qi; tens of thousands of monsters scattering and quickly gathering together to fight, eat, and kill innocent people in the city.

The people screamed and ran away. Even if there were cultivators fighting with evil spirits, they had no way of winning. After all, there were more like mere ants biting an elephant and retreating step by step.

Evil spirits were not only powerful in combat, but also couldn’t be easily killed. Even if their heads were cut off, they could fuse with other evil spirits and make heads again, bringing them back into battle. It made people scared and flee in a mess.

In less than an hour, the city became a tomb. By the time the nearest sect and soldiers came to support, there was no living person left in the city.

It was heinous.

The entire Council Hall fell into a cold silence.

No one spoke. They were all looking at the bodies littered all over the streets and alleys. They couldn’t help but feel an unspeakable panic and fear in their hearts. Some people couldn’t help rejoicing that the evil spirit disasters only began in the North Land, but had not yet spread to their own areas.

Zhan Fengting took the lead in breaking the silence in the room. “I don’t know when the North Land will fail. When that happens, the regions will experience the same disaster that the North Land suffered. Therefore, I hope you don’t stand idly by and establish an alliance now, or make a plan to fight against the evil spirits as soon as possible and give them a heavy counterattack.”

After that, Zhan Fengting took down the picture wall and returned to his seat.

Yan Tianhen glanced at Zhan Fengting, but Hai Kuanglang was not there with him. After looking around the whole hall, he didn’t find any traces of Hai Kuanglang. Did they break up completely? They shouldn’t have.

Yan Tianhen’s mind was full of messy thoughts when he heard Sword Saint Tianshu say, “As you all saw just now, the North Land has suffered a great disaster, and it was all because of evil Qi cultivators. We didn’t know how to eliminate them before, but the North Land had already found a method to kill them.”

“What are you waiting for? Of course, tell us the methods quickly, so that we can make preparations in advance!” A major powerhouse of a sect shouted.

The gold characters about the anti-evil spirit campaign floated in the air, flashing out one by one. Yan Tianhen saw it clearly in an instant.

Although it was an invitation to destroy evil spirits, in fact it was just a binding contract.

For example, the general meaning of one of them was that if one party was in trouble, other families and clans that were quite close to the affected areas were duty-bound to help the affected areas and drive away the evil spirits which they cannot refuse.

After reading it, quite a few people realized this too.

Sword Saint Tianshu said, “If you don’t have any objection to this, you will stamp your blood fingerprint on it. If you have any comments, you will put them forward on the spot so that we can discuss them.”

As soon as his voice fell, someone said, “What’s the purpose of keeping a contract? Do we really have to stay and destroy the evil spirits?”

“Yes, those evil spirits are so ferocious. Our Fang family is in the southernmost part of the Nine Lands. It’s impossible for evil spirits to come to us easily. But even if we don’t suffer from evil spirits, according to the contract, we have to provide human aid, financial resources, and sparrow spirits in advance. We’re just a small aristocratic family. Where can we get these things?”

“That’s right! This is simply deprivation!” Another cultivator angrily said, “When the time comes, before the evil spirits arrive, we will be destroyed by our own people first!”

There was a lot of discussion, and most of them were expressing resistance. Yan Tianhen’s complexion didn’t look very good.

Lin Xuanzhi was very indifferent and said, “I expected this to happen.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “Why?”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “The matter is irrelevant to them. All those who put forward objections are people outside the North Land. They have not seen the invasion of the evil spirits with their own eyes. Just looking at the picture wall won’t make them fear this. What’s more, as the man in the South Land said, their family may be the last to fall, so they would naturally resist bleeding out their resources at this time.”

Yan Tianhen furrowed his brow together and said, “But in fact, there are no rules for evil spirit invasion. Today is the North Land, and tomorrow may be the South Land.”

Lin Xuanzhi shook his head. “Some small families could only be small families forever.”

The scene was very chaotic for a while.

Most of them didn’t want to participate in destroying evil spirits personally. If evil spirits invaded their families and clans, they would naturally be forced to join the battle. But now evil spirits were still hovering in the North Land. Who knows whether they would really go there? It seemed to put them in an impasse.

Just then, the closed doors of the hall opened wide, and a man dressed in blue robes hurried in under the guidance of two disciples. Most people present did not know him, but some people recognized him.

“East Empress?” It was unknown who said it.

Yan Tianhen was shocked. “Why did adoptive father come at this time?”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “He went to look up the records of evil spirits in the ancient divine scrolls. He should have just found it.”

Xuan Wushe came earlier, and he was also a leader of the world who seldom came to the Myriad Dao Academy in person.

“He is the East Empress?”

“He doesn’t look too special. How could he have stolen the East Sovereign’s heart?”

“It’s not like the East Sovereign’s style of doing things in such a hurry.”

Despite the endless arguments below, Lin Zhan came to the front with a scroll that had been damaged a lot, and said to Sword Saint Tianshu. “I have found the records of people who cultivate evil Qi with their body, and I also know what the dark clouds that cover the sun for a long time are. This book, called 《The Strange Records of the Great Seal》 is a historical book handed down by the Xuan clan from the period of the Great Seal.”

Sword Saint Tianshu immediately stood up, and the other elders of the sect who sat on the stage also showed their excitement.

“What is recorded in it?” Sword Saint Tianshu asked. “Please explain quickly.”

Lin Zhan took a deep breath. “It says that there are many kinds of evil spirits, some of which cultivated evil Qi later in life, some of which were evil Qi cultivators since birth, and some of which were refined into evil corpses. However, when people are not completely dead, it is also possible for them to turn into evil spirits. These evil spirit cultivators, though powerful, are not invincible. Only Heavenly Evil, the most terrible kind of evil Qi cultivator between heaven and earth, is what we should worry about.”

“A Heavenly Evil is formed from the influx of the most pure evil Qi when Heaven’s Wail is unleashed. The evil Qi would fight for control of the cultivator’s body until his entire body is eroded by evil Qi. The evil Qu would replace everything about the original owner, and gradually, that cultivator would be able to turn into evil Qi.”

“After cultivating one’s body with evil Qi, one can constantly absorb the evil Qi between heaven and earth, so as to improve one’s cultivation, and even easily transform evil Qi into evil spirits, controlling them from a distance.”

Lin Zhan took a deep breath and looked around. “That is to say, if there were Heaven’s Wail in the East Land at this time, even if the person who cultivated the body with evil Qi is far away in the West Land, he can still turn the evil Qi in the East Land into evil spirits and control them.”

“And our current enemy is precisely someone who cultivates the body with evil Qi!” Lin Zhan said, “I don’t know what you all think, but we can’t just sit back and wait for the enemy to attack us, and then fight back. We should not only take the initiative to attack and find the Heavenly Evil, but also take the initiative to destroy him. This is the way to save ourselves.”

Lin Zhan put the scroll on the table and said, “This divine scroll is an ancient item. I haven’t changed a word in the written records. If anyone knows how to read the divine script, you can come and read and translate it yourself. Anyway, I’ll put my words here now— you can back out, but don’t expect to get any help from our East Land’s Xuan Clan when evil spirits invade in the future. Even if you are an aristocratic family in the East Land, I will never allow you to shrink your head like turtles and take advantage like selfish villains! There is no free lunch in this world. Think carefully!”

After that, Lin Zhan waved his hand, pinched his finger tip, and pressed his bloody finger on the contract. He said heroically, “My East Land’s Xuan clan is willing to join in the plan to destroy evil spirits. I have no complaints at all.”

“…” Sword Saint Tianshu looked to Xuan Wushe.

After all, Xuan Wushe was still the master in the East Land whom Lin Zhan still had to listen to even if he was the East Empress.

Xuan Wushe nodded. “The Empress’ meaning is the meaning of this Venerable.”

Sword Saint Tianshu was relieved. He struck the table and said, “Good! The East Empress is decisive and straightforward. I admire that!”

“Since the East Land has already joined, how can my Southwest Land be left behind?” Fu Li also stood up while holding a tiger cub in his hand. He pressed a finger print on the other hand across the air and calmly said, “My advice to those who do not want to participate, this is the best opportunity to hug some thighs. After passing this up, there will be no such opportunity again.”

After Fu Li, another family representative stood up and pressed his fingerprint.

“I personally participated in the battle for the Longyao clan’s crown prince selection.” He said with some lingering fear on his face, “In the Dragon Tomb Holy Land, I’ve personally experienced the power of evil spirits. You’re not afraid, but I’m afraid. That kind of thing should be dealt with as soon as possible. If you’ve personally experienced it, then you’ll never think you can stay out of this situation.”

“Yes, I was there, too, and my Fire Sect also wants to join!”

“My Ling family is the same.”

Yan Tianhen looked at the people who kept pressing their fingerprints with a smile and whispered to Lin Xuanzhi, “Adoptive father really has his ways.”
