The northern region is bustling with activity; there are still many people there.
There were many more before, but we didn't get to enter the ruins.
For example, Shi Yadie and Xiao Qingniao also left in advance.
This is thanks to the domineering nature of various holy sites, which sealed off the good places inside, while the ordinary places outside have been explored countless times by countless people.
It's pointless; many people have already left and escaped unscathed.
Then there are many that have just arrived from other regions and haven't caught up with the trend yet.
While still feeling lingering fear, I was also relieved and, incidentally, secretly gloated.
Those who ran fast and were overconfident in their abilities probably all got caught in there.
Now that the ruins incident is over, this place is bustling with activity, all sorts of news, gossip, and nonsense.
Jiangnan annihilated the Ascension Saint Son, the Great Power, and the Ascension Dao-Slaying experts.
The Feathered Divine Dynasty issued a Heavenly Decree of Heavenly Punishment, ordering all cultivators in the universe to hunt down the perpetrator, and even offering a bounty that would ignite the interest of powerful beings.
Of course, some people remain skeptical about whether they will actually receive it.
These holy 200 lands are used to being arrogant and domineering. They can find any excuse to wipe you out, and your death will be in vain.
Or they might receive a huge bounty, only to be killed as soon as they leave the city. Who knows who killed them? Maybe it was one of their own.
The Feathered Divine Dynasty is the most domineering and powerful one among the human race's holy lands.
But no matter what, those bounties are really tempting.
If it doesn't work out, you can forgo the bounty and join the Feathered Divine Dynasty as an inner disciple or even an elder. That way, you can soar to great heights.
"The Ascension Saint is a half-step Great Power, right? That Xu Longyang, I think he said he's almost a Great Power."
"He is undefeated even when fighting against powerful beings."
"This is nothing. Jiangnan can easily defeat powerful beings."
"That's a great power..." They all listened as if they were hearing a foreign language. Wasn't he a promising young talent not long ago?
Moreover, among young talents, his level of understanding is still at the bottom.
How could they become so powerful?
"Great power" is just the surface meaning; it simply refers to an extremely strong person, a hegemon-level existence in a region.
"Forget about the powerful figures, what was the next piece of news? Did they kill Zhan Dao?"
"The Dao-Slaying Realm is much stronger than a Great Power, an existence we usually can't see."
On the surface, the heads of each family are all holy lords and powerful figures.
They are all at the second level of Sendai's secret realm.
Having transcended the Dao once again, he is now capable of reaching even higher levels of existence.
Their aspirations are even higher, which is something they don't understand.
I have lost interest in mundane matters and can't be bothered to pay them any more attention.
"Don't let him kill the God King before the next message comes out."
"Oh, there seems to be such a claim in the ruins. Some say he has already killed someone."
"However, later the ruins were destroyed and most of the people died inside. The few who survived were injured and fled. There were very few left to prove anything."
"What's so great about the God King? I just heard something even more explosive, or maybe even more outrageous: Jiang Nan became a saint and killed a half-saint powerhouse from the Feathered Divine Dynasty who was carrying a powerful weapon in the heavens."
"Can we talk about this any further?"
"Don't tell me the next news is that he's become an emperor."
"Oh, and don't tell me that he's actually just like the Chaos Dragon Nest's Myriad Dragon Emperor, an ancient supreme emperor who came out to pretend to be young and pick up girls."
"Cough cough, that's possible," someone laughed.
That's nonsense, everyone knows how to do that.
"So, all those previous victories—at the Nanling Ruins, at the Cangkong Holy Land, and the half-step Great Powers or Great Powers killed by Jiangnan or An Daye—were all correct."
"It must be right."
"They all said it was fake before."
"I just felt that everything was real."
"What about the gambling stone market at Wanfu Holy Land? Could it be him there too?"
"This is a bit of a stretch. Back then, he was only at the second level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and there was even an old saint from the Heavenly Gang Holy Land who intervened."
"That old sage, he must have brought it here."
"The white-robed youth, Xiao Yu, is very arrogant. He might be intercepted and killed, and then Jiangnan's strength will definitely turn the tables on him, which will attract the old sage."
"Now that you mention it, it really makes sense."
"I was wondering why that arrogant, annoying kid in white wasn't showing up anymore; turns out he's already dead."
"That's great news."
Chapter 132 Even the Holy Lord Fears Death
"Keep your voice down. That old saint from the Heavenly Gang Holy Land might be here too," someone nearby said.
"My beloved junior is dead, and I'm about to kill him."
"The old god king of the Shi family died, his grandson, oh, some say his son."
"That old man has gone mad. Someone saw him in the ruins killing anyone he saw, especially young talents."
"I heard he died too. He ran into Jiangnan and got killed instead."
"Ahem, there's too much going on in Jiangnan. Shall we talk about something else to calm our nerves?" someone said.
"Speaking of the old God King of the Shi family, he is truly shameless. He is so old, does he still have any function?"
"I wonder which girl he ruined."
"Keep your voice down. This kind of person is even more terrifying than the Holy Lord, and his status is much higher. He is not someone we can discuss."
"Didn't that guy just say he was hanging up?"
"If we don't talk about Jiangnan, we have to talk about the enchantress of Nanling."
"It's the same one who was with Jiangnan."
"Now that we've finished here, let's go check out Ningzhou in the Nanling Mountains."
"A tiny Wanyue Kingdom, with its Shenxu Cave Heaven, what a small place, yet it has produced two peerless geniuses."
"Leaving aside the possibility of external opportunities, even if there were, not everyone could achieve such success."
"There are many successors of those holy lands, and many of them have resources and inheritances, but how many of them have reached the level of a holy son?"
"I'm also planning to go and take a look."
"Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles is a form of spiritual practice."
"Jiangnan is ruthless, but that woman is even more ruthless."
"Jiangnan's fighting style is more about direct and brutal attacks. His combat methods are very pure. Back in Ningzhou, Nanling, I saw him make a move from afar. He was indeed very strong, and his fighting spirit is worth learning from."
"That woman is truly vicious and evil."
"She devours people and everything to become stronger; she treats everything in the world as a elixir."
"Those guys from the Holy Land are arrogant; they probably provoked her first."
"Perhaps it's just a demonic art at first, but who knows what will happen in the long run."
"We should be careful when we see them."
"The Heavenly Court has issued the decree of punishment for the immortals, so the good days in Jiangnan are probably coming to an end."
"No matter how good he is at fighting, he's still young."
"The old god-king must have made a move."
"Didn't they say he could kill the God King?"
"You actually believe that?"
"I was seriously injured in the previous battle against the Dao, and someone saw it. This news should be the most reliable."
"The rest are all uninformed rumors, and they're getting more and more outrageous."
"The Feathered Divine Dynasty is domineering, but it softens when faced with ancient races."
"If you're so capable, why don't you just flatten the Chaos Dragon's Nest?"
"They had many experts, the most people entered, and the most died. In the end, they even retreated."
"They only dare to be arrogant towards their own people."
"These ancient races are truly ruthless, still treating us humans like ants," someone scoffed.
