C16 Dismissed by Unpleasantness

four days later

In a hidden secret room in the ancient mansion, a group of elders were sitting on chairs and chatting with each other. Wu Zhan stood respectfully beside him while Wu Ming sat at the seat of honor and looked indifferently at the two rows of people whispering to each other. Then, Wu Ming called out softly, "Everyone, please be quiet. Please listen to this old man."

After he shouted, the audience quieted down and all of them looked at Wu Ming.

"I believe everyone should know what is going on in this convention." Seeing that no one said anything, Wu Ming continued speaking.

"Naturally. Eighteen years ago, the Fallen Essence Sword, which was protected by the Fallen Spirit Sword Sect, suddenly broke through its seal on its own and disappeared from the mortal world. Before that, the Fallen Essence Sword was sealed within the Heavenly Origin Pavilion, and the great calamity that happened ten thousand years ago is about to happen again." A middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table sighed.

"What Sect Leader Li said is right. Eighteen years ago, my Demon Imperial Palace's Saint Magic Zither also suddenly broke the seal." An old man wearing a purple and gold robe sighed. Behind him was a beautiful young girl. From her appearance, it seemed like she was the same girl that Sacred Xuan had met on the small path, Night Wandering Dream.

The old man then looked at the young girl behind him and chuckled, "However, my granddaughter got the magical zither."

"Hmph, Old Demon Ye, your granddaughter has the bloodline of a Demon God. Isn't obtaining that zither still within reason?" This time, the one who spoke was an old man in a black robe. He was the Ancient Devil Gu You, and behind him stood the brother and sister Gu Yu.

"Ancient Devil, don't think that I don't know. The bodies of the two children behind you aren't inferior to my granddaughter at all. Moreover, the sacred artifact of the Azure Dragon clan seems to be in your hands." The old man smiled at Gu You.

When Gu You heard this, he smiled without saying a word. Then, he looked at a green-robed elder and asked, "Old Freak Ye, what about you?"

"To tell you the truth, the Azure Dragon Banner, Vermillion Bird Banner, White Tiger Talisman, and Black Tortoise Seal of my Holy Spirit Palace have all been destroyed by ourselves." His closed eyes suddenly opened and a golden light flashed in them. There was a girl with delicate features standing behind him. It seemed that the old man had been one of the three berserkers, the Azure Dragon clan, Ye Xiao.

"My Five Elements Academy's Holy Spirit Beads have also been divided into five, and we go find our own owners." Another old man spoke up.

"There's also my Myriad Spirit Academy's Star Locking Plate."

"There's also my Sky Demon Palace's Shooting Sun Bow."

"The Star Chasing Arrows of my Heavenly Demon Palace are as well."

"The Silver Moon Protector from my sect is one too."

"..."

The leaders of the great sects all spoke out.

"Everyone should know … Humans, devils, demons, the sealed treasures of the three clans are actually the holy treasures used by the almighty beings who saved the world during the great calamity. After the great calamity, the holy treasures were sealed by the almighty beings of the three clans, and a single word was left behind: "The seal shall be broken, and the great calamity shall descend." Wu Ming said after seeing them finish speaking.

But he did not say one thing, and that was that Xuan-Yuan Sword and the other sacred objects had also fallen into the mortal realm, but that was not something he had forgotten about, just that such matters were something that the fewer people knew, the better. Furthermore, the few ancient clans that had obtained the sacred artifacts all sat down tacitly in their seats.

Soon after, Wu Ming said, "The great calamity has begun. The various sects and clans should work together to resist it …" However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a white-haired old man.

"Hmph, if we ally together, there is still nine hundred years until the great calamity. Isn't it a little early to say all this now? There are some things that our White Tiger Tribe will not let go just like that." The old man said indifferently as he looked at Ye Xiao.

"Xue Xuan, don't go too far." Although his voice was not loud, there was a trace of dignity in his voice. It was not because he wanted to cause trouble, after all, this was a meeting between the three continents, and it was not the time to settle personal grudges.

"Ye Xiao, who doesn't know that your family is related by marriage to the Xuan Yuan Ancient Clan and the Ancient Demon Clan. Our White Tiger Clan has always cooperated with our own kind." The old man called Xue Xuan also spoke indifferently, his tone full of ridicule.

"Then you're saying I colluded with other races!" Ye Xiao said angrily.

Xue Xuan closed his eyes and said lightly: "Everyone is one of the four great branch halls of the Holy Spirit Palace. I don't want to say anything more to avoid hurting our relationship. However, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave this time, goodbye." Finished speaking, Xue Xuan stood up and cupped his fist before disappearing from the room.

"What is he doing!" The group of people in the secret chamber were also enraged. At this moment, the leaders of the Heavenly Demon Palace, Demonic Palace, and Heavenly Demon Sect also cupped their fists and disappeared from the secret chamber.

"There's something fishy about these three sects." Luo Sword Sect's sect head said after seeing the three sects leave.

"Isn't that normal? The Soul Treasures that the three sects are guarding happen to be a set, and combining the names of the three sects together, this is not a small scheme. " The two families seemed to be on good terms with each other, and just like that, the two began to chat.

And then, a middle-aged man with sharp edges stood up as well and clasped his fists. "My Fuxi clan will take its leave as well." Then a flash of light and he was gone.

"It looks like this Fuxi clan is the same as us. They've acquired the sacred artifact, the Fuxi Zither." Wu Zhan secretly transmitted his voice to Wu Ming when he saw this.

"Yes, it should be. The Shennong clan told me long ago that Shennong's Cauldron is currently in their clan. Those ancient clans should have obtained their sacred artifacts." Wu Ming replied.

When Wu Zhan heard this, he looked at the few large clans in the field thoughtfully.

As the Fuxi race watched as the humans left, some of the larger demon and demon clans also took their leave. Regarding these, although some people were angry, Wu Ming didn't show any trace of displeasure on his face. After all, he was the leader of the Fuxi race.

"In times of great calamity, my Demon Imperial Palace will naturally lend you a hand. But now, I will take my leave." The old man in the imperial robe assented as well.

However, just as the old man was about to stand up, Night Walker Meng suddenly asked Wu Ming, "Tomorrow at the coming of age ceremony, will Wu Shengxuan be there?"

"He should be coming." Wu Ming was slightly bewildered. Why would the genius girl from the Demon Imperial Palace ask him about her grandson?

"Thank you." Ye You Meng nodded her head and bowed to Wu Ming before following the old man out of the secret chamber.

"Why would he ask about Xuan'er?" Wu Zhan was also suspicious.

"I don't know. I'll ask Xuan'er to see if they know each other first." Wu Ming said indifferently.

Then they made a note of it.

Among the various sects and clans, only the Ancient Devil Clan of the Ancient Devil Palace, the Azure Dragon Clan of the Holy Spirit Palace, the Divine Nong Clan, the Five Elements Academy, and Wu Ming remained.

The Five Emperors Aristocrat Clan and Shennong Clan behind the Five Elements Spirit Courtyard didn't leave because they were all old friends of the Xuanyuan ancient clan. The ancestors of the Five Emperors Aristocrat Clan and Shennong Clan were all disciples of the Xuanyuan ancestor, while the ancestors of the Shennong Clan were brothers of the Xuanyuan ancestor.

Then, only the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, the Azure Dragon Clan, and the Ancient Demon Clan remained. This meeting had truly become a meeting of the three races.

"Why did those people leave?" Gu Yu asked naively, not knowing what was going on.

Gu You naturally doted on this granddaughter of his. Smiling, he said, "Because they are people who have no sense of responsibility."

Gu Yu rubbed his head gloomily. He still couldn't think of a reason, so he might as well just play with his own fingers.

"We can't blame them for that. After all, the grudges between races are not so easily resolved. Not all races are like us three races." Ye Xiao sighed as he stared at Gu Yu, his face filled with displeasure.

"Right, Pavilion Master, Yu'er, quickly come greet your Grandpa Ye Xiao. Your Grandpa Ye Xiao has quite a few good things." With that, Gu You unexpectedly revealed a crafty look. This would definitely cause the spectators to be shocked again. After all, who could have guessed that a legendary figure would reveal such an expression?

"Ancient demon, oh ancient demon, you are really good enough." Ye Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but although he was depressed, he still took out a wristguard and walked up to the ancient pavilion and said, "This thing is called the Mysterious Gold wristguard, it's a top quality spiritual tool. I see that your main cultivation method is this wristguard, and no matter what realm you are in, it can increase the power of your hands by multiple times."

The ancient pavilion was naturally overjoyed after hearing this and quickly thanked him.

Ye Xiao then turned to Gu Yu and took out a jade flute, "I can see that you have a Black Jade Holy Body, so I'll give this jade flute to you. This jade flute is called Absolute Soul, a top grade spirit treasure that specializes in attacking the soul.

Gu Yu seemed to be very fond of jade artifacts and hurriedly accepted the jade flute.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Old Monster Ye, I've asked for the Mysterious Gold Wrist Protector and the Broken Soul many times back then, but you haven't given it to me." Gu You smiled.

He then took out an object and said to the young girl behind Ye Xiao, "How about this. I see that your granddaughter has the Azure Dragon clan's Wind and Vermillion Bird clan's Fire bloodline within her. You can give this top grade spirit artifact, the Phoenix Flame Spear to her."

After saying that, a small and exquisite double-headed spear flew out of Gu You's hands. The young girl also quickly reached out to catch it. One end of the spear was shining with a green light, while the other end was spewing out a red flame. It was very strange.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Tomorrow will be my Xuan Yuan Clan's young man's coronation ceremony. When the time comes, all of you must attend." Wu Ming said as he watched them exchange greetings.

"We'll be able to see the glory of the Xuanyuan Clan's Imperial Bloodline tomorrow." As for being a cripple, he did not believe it. If even the Xuanyuan Emperor Meridian was a cripple, then how would the others be able to live?

Gu You also laughed, "Definitely."

Afterwards, everyone left the secret room …
