Free Web NovelChapter 999: Chapter 997: You’re a Good Person
That formless pressure made it hard for Wu Shang to breathe, as if he were facing a terrifying God.
He didn’t dare move recklessly and could only observe in secret.
Rumble!
Another clap of thunder echoed across the sky. Another corner of the Blood Sacrifice Array was forcibly torn open by the Ancient Phoenix; dense blood-colored light shot straight out, like a sharp sword cleaving toward the firmament.
"You guys..." Wu Shang was greatly shocked.
When he noticed the first corner earlier, he hadn’t taken it seriously, thinking this was the limit of the Human Clan’s abilities.
After all, the one presiding over the layout of this Array was the True Martial Emperor!
A Supreme God, ruling over an imperial dynasty, an invincible existence commanding billions of living beings.
How could an Array presided over by him possibly be broken by the Human Clan?
Yet...
The third corner was soon broken as well; a thick, overwhelming stench of blood swept out, that region directly collapsing, thick smoke billowing.
Wu Shang was dumbfounded.
Inside the Ministry of Works’ palace.
A powerful expert’s expression grew solemn. "Unbelievable, they actually broke the Blood Sacrifice Array."
"Don’t panic, it’s only a few holes. Isn’t our Ministry of Works’ genius Wu Shang over there? Once he acts, he’ll suppress everything."
"That’s right..."
Although this group of experts was shocked by the Human Clan’s strength, thinking of Wu Shang eased them a bit.
It was just that as time passed, Wu Shang was still in a daze and showed no sign of making a move.
This gave the experts of the Ministry of Works a bad premonition.
On the left side, an old man in white frowned. "Why hasn’t he made a move?"
Based on their understanding of Wu Shang, this guy had always been arrogant and unruly, quick-tempered and violent by nature, and his favorite thing was to play around.
Especially when it came to the Human Clan— in his eyes, humans were all ants, and the fate of ants could only rest in his hands.
Now, Wu Shang had entered the Human Clan’s old lands; an hour had already passed. He was watching the Human Clan break the Blood Sacrifice Array with his own eyes, yet remained completely indifferent.
Wasn’t something off here?
But they didn’t know it wasn’t that Wu Shang didn’t want to act—he didn’t dare...
The World Force was shrouding the area, severing his connection with heaven and earth. What’s more, this was the Human Ancestral Land, the Human Clan’s territory. As a member of the Divine Clan stepping into this place, he felt all sorts of incompatibilities. Once he made a move, he would definitely be suppressed the instant he did.
He might be conceited and arrogant, but he wasn’t stupid.
So, he couldn’t act.
High in the sky, a Fairy was eyeing him like a tiger watching its prey, and on the ground was a young man wielding a terrifying Sword Dao.
Hm!
Wu Shang’s mind spun rapidly. All of a sudden, inspiration struck, and it was as if he’d thought of something. He swept his gaze across the group of young humans and said coldly, "Idiots."
"What did you say?" An frowned, her slender figure standing atop the ruins. A breeze blew past, sending her long hair flying. Although she lacked the Moon God’s peerless splendor, it wasn’t hard to see she already possessed a trace of peerless grace.
"I said you humans are idiots." Wu Shang spoke with disdain.
"Why?" An asked again.
"This Array has an astonishing origin, and the one presiding over it is a Supreme existence. You lot fantasize about breaking it; you’ll definitely suffer a backlash." Wu Shang sneered, as if he had seized on a point with which to crush the Human Clan.
Exactly!
The Blood Sacrifice Array was far from the only one.
Even if you broke it here, the other places would definitely erupt with backlash; in fact...this place would too. When that time came, the Array would operate on its own, or its defensive power would be triggered.
Once the Melting Furnace truly closed, even if a God were to act, they wouldn’t be able to shake it in the slightest.
Once the Melting Furnace reached Perfection, it would temper heaven and earth.
The entire Heaven Martial would be turned into a terrifying Purgatory on earth.
And the ones speeding all this up were these few idiots right in front of him.
Thinking of this, Wu Shang couldn’t help but laugh. "This young master doesn’t need to lift a finger. You humans will erase yourselves."
Is that so?
The Fairy’s voice was gentle. "Some Arrays indeed are like a single hair tugging the whole body. Once you touch a certain point, the entire Array will accelerate its operation. Is that what you mean?"
"Hahaha..." Wu Shang let out a loud laugh.
"I heard four members of the Divine Clan entered the Heaven Martial continent." The Fairy spoke, gazing in a certain direction. "I’ll handle things on this side."
"All right, I’ll go to the other side." Zhang Ziyu looked off toward the Northern Utmost.
"The other Blood Sacrifice Arrays probably haven’t been fully activated yet. As long as we coordinate our timing and kill the remaining members of the Divine Clan, then... the Phoenix will be able to safely break this place. At that point, this so‑called Melting Furnace Array should be able to collapse." The Fairy calmly analyzed.
What the hell?
What kind of brain is that?
What did this young master even say?
He’d said basically nothing, yet she managed to deduce all that.
Wu Shang was shocked, but...his face didn’t show it. He only kept sneering. "Just the likes of you?"
He was starting to get excited.
Although he didn’t know what had gone wrong beneath this Blood Sacrifice Array guarded by the Ministry of Works, he could guess that if the Human Clan wanted to break this place, they would definitely have to pay a huge price.
By the same logic, these few people in front of him basically had zero chance of stopping the remaining members of the Divine Clan.
Furthermore, once Zhang Ziyu and the Fairy left this place, he would break free of his restraints. At that time, he would be able to crush the Human Clan’s strength in one go.
The Fairy and Zhang Ziyu ignored him and turned, speeding off in their respective directions. In no time at all, they vanished.
Hahaha...
Seeing this, Wu Shang burst out laughing again. "Idiots, you humans are truly idiots. This young master was only talking nonsense, and you actually took it seriously?"
"How is that idiotic?" An looked at him. "There really are four members of the Divine Clan who came down from the Heavens. If you hadn’t reminded us, Young Master, we wouldn’t have remembered. Ah...we really ought to thank this young master here!"
"So what if I reminded you?" Wu Shang snorted. "Do you actually think they alone can stop the Divine Clan?"
"I think they can!" An said with a smile.
"Little girl, don’t be so naive." Wu Shang scoffed. "Every member of the Divine Clan guarding a Blood Sacrifice Array has powerful strength and deep foundations. What makes you think they can handle that?"
"How about this? Why don’t you guess why the Divine Clan branch of the Ministry of Works has vanished?" An blinked, speaking playfully.
"???"
With just that one sentence, the smile on Wu Shang’s face suddenly froze.
Right!
Where were the experts of the Ministry of Works’ bloodline?
I—fuck...
Wu Shang swept his gaze around. It was all ruins, not a blade of grass in sight, only bones and the stench of blood. Not a single expert of the Ministry of Works’ line had survived; they had all been slaughtered.
Fuck!
Who did this?
Wu Shang’s eyes widened, a sense of unease rising in his heart. freeweɓnovel.cøm
An smiled and said, "To conceal the operation of the Blood Sacrifice Array and avoid attracting the Human Clan’s attention, the experts your Divine Clan sent down are generally not too high in cultivation. Just a few at the Emperor Realm, and the rest are at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Great Saint Realm, and so on."
"Silent, dormant, waiting for the right moment..."
"Am I right?" Her smile was radiant.
Wu Shang kept his mouth shut, his expression ugly. He felt like he’d just done something incredibly stupid.
Originally, the Human Clan hadn’t even remembered the other three Blood Sacrifice sites. Now, thanks to his reminder, they’d suddenly remembered.
And An was right.
To hide the truth about the Blood Sacrifice Array and the existence of the Melting Furnace plan, the power of the four Divine Clan envoys sent down wasn’t actually that strong.
"Thank you, young master of the Divine Clan." An smiled. "You’re a good person."
Off to the side, Mo Lai nearly burst out laughing.
"That’s not necessarily true. They still have people at the Emperor Realm among them, and they’ve got powerful trump cards..." Wu Shang gritted his teeth and stubbornly spat out this line.
