Chapter 2170: The Huoyan ancestor who carried the pot
If it were in another place, those giant city ancestors might not be able to relent.
However, this forbidden mountain range is different. You cannot advance rashly, and there is no way to retreat. Everyone is a trapped beast in the cage.
If Tang Zhen is forced into a panic, it will be a big deal and no one will be able to leave alive.
The ancestor who had been seriously injured by Tang Zhen now looked struggling, and then sighed softly.
"That's all, I won't pursue this matter anymore..."
From now on, no one will stand up for him, let alone try to kill Tang Zhen.
Even if I hold back a breath of bad breath, I can only suppress it in my heart and never continue to irritate the powder keg of Tang Zhen.
If we continue to be unyielding, maybe those giant city ancestors will turn against each other and turn from allies into enemies.
Without the support of those ancestors, it would be easy for Tang Zhen to kill him.
Even if he was really killed, no one would stand up for him.
“This is the best!”
Seeing that the tense situation was relieved, the Fenglei City ancestor walked up to Tang Zhen and performed a common courtesy among warriors.
"Your Excellency Tang Zhen, as the saying goes, things have priorities. Now everyone's goal is to go to the Forbidden Temple, and other grievances can be put aside for the time being.
I suggest that we cooperate temporarily and find a way to reach the Forbidden Temple together, what do you think?"
Tang Zhen nodded, the sword in his hand suddenly disappeared, and at the same time he glanced at the ancestors around him.
"Please forgive Tang for speaking bluntly. I really don't believe everyone here. It's better for us to act separately."
Hearing Tang Zhen's answer, the Fenglei City ancestor smiled slightly, while the other Jucheng ancestors showed disdain.
In their opinion, Tang Zhen just didn't know how to appreciate others.
"Since you can't trust us, I won't force you. I just hope that everyone will continue to exercise restraint in the coming time."
While speaking, the Fenglei City ancestor turned his head and looked around, making a questioning gesture.
If no one objects, it is assumed that an agreement has been reached.
The ancestors of the giant city don't want to waste too much time. No one knows how long it will take for the Forbidden Temple to be open. The top priority is to get to the top of the Absolute Mountains as soon as possible.
If you miss this opportunity, God knows when will the Forbidden Temple be opened next?
The ancestor of Fenglei City rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and asked, "Your Excellency Tang Zhen, where is the ancestor of Huoyan now?"
The ancestor of Fenglei City was pounding in his heart, this was what he cared about most.
Although at a glance, it seemed that he saw a figure on the rooftop in front of him, the ancestor of Fenglei still couldn't confirm it, maybe he was dazzled.
"He has followed a luminous passage and gone straight to the temple. He should not be far from the temple now, right?"
Tang Zhen said in a calm tone, in fact, even he could not be sure where Huoyan Ancestor was.
However, looking at the disappearing speed of the luminous channel before, and then estimating the traveling speed of Huoyan Ancestor, he must have run at most half the distance before he escaped from the luminous channel.
"The glowing channel, what is that?"
The ancestor of Fenglei City frowned and asked in a puzzled tone.
There should be no need for Tang Zhen to lie to him, so Huoyan Ancestor's ability to quickly pass through the rooftop must be related to that mysterious luminous passage!
Is it possible that the Huoyan Ancestor has mastered some means to activate this luminous channel so that he can approach the Forbidden Temple faster?
The ancestor of Fenglei City was thinking wildly.
Thinking about it, it is not impossible. There has been no change in the Forbidden Mountain Range for nearly a thousand years. However, after the Huoyan Ancestor entered, the Forbidden Temple suddenly appeared.
If there is no relationship between the two, Ancestor Fenglei will never believe it.
In addition, there is actually another possibility, that is, this matter is related to Tang Zhen.
However, Tang Zhen was an outsider, not a fanatical believer. Even strong believers would not react when they came here. The possibility of outsiders causing mutations was even lower.
Ancestor Fenglei would rather believe that this is just a coincidence.
Or maybe after the two entered the Forbidden Mountains, they accidentally triggered some kind of restriction, which led to the appearance of the Forbidden Temple.
During the conversation between the two, other Jucheng ancestors focused their attention here. When they heard Tang Zhen mention the luminous channel, one of the Jucheng ancestors looked surprised.
After thinking about it, he suddenly said to everyone, "I know a little bit about this luminous channel.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the Forbidden Mountains were forbidden areas for the gods. If believers wanted to worship the gods, they had to wait until the day when the rooftop platform appeared once every ten years.
Only after a narrow escape and successfully passing the nine rooftop platforms can one have the opportunity to meet the gods and receive the final reward.
But there are always exceptions to everything.
It is said that after some special believers enter the Climbing Platform, a luminous passage will appear from among the nine Climbing Platforms, leading the believers directly to the Forbidden Temple.
This luminous passage is the safest route and will not encounter any danger.
It’s just that this kind of thing is extremely rare, and even a thousand years ago, it only existed in legends.”
Upon hearing the explanation from this giant city ancestor, everyone present looked surprised.
"If you go by what you said, is it possible that the ancestor of Huoyan is a believer of the indigenous god? This is too unbelievable!"
"It's not impossible. You should know that after we have reached this level of cultivation, it will be extremely difficult for us to take a step forward.
But those believers can gain opportunities to improve their strength by accumulating military exploits. As long as they have enough military exploits, it shouldn't be difficult to advance to the ultimate realm.
Ancestor Huoyan may have secretly betrayed the Warrior Continent and became a believer in the indigenous gods in order to advance to the ultimate level."
After hearing this analysis, the ancestors of Jucheng had different expressions. Although they did not dare to completely believe it, they also felt that it made some sense.
Not many people can resist the temptation of being promoted to the ultimate level.
"Let me just say that why the Huoyan Ancestor kept that useless thing, he must have done it deliberately to protect himself. After all, only strong believers have massive energy crystals in their hands, so it becomes natural for him to come into frequent contact with them.
Perhaps he had become a lackey of the Great Temple a long time ago, but no one knew about it.
Now that we enter the Forbidden Mountains, the Forbidden Temple suddenly appears, and a special access passage appears on the rooftop, which is enough to prove that there is something wrong with him."
The ancestor of Jucheng who spoke had an old feud with the ancestor of Huoyan. Now that he had the opportunity to add insult to injury, he would naturally not miss it.
The atmosphere became tense.
The goal of everyone's trip is to enter the Forbidden Temple and seize possible opportunities.
With the Huoyan ancestor's identity in doubt and the possibility of entering the Forbidden Temple first, the ancestors couldn't help but become extremely anxious.
If they were really robbed of the opportunity by Huoyan Ancestor, not only would they have to work in vain, but they would also have to endure a series of changes.
If the other party is really a secret believer, then after being promoted to the ultimate, it will pose a great threat to other giant cities. This is something that a group of ancestors absolutely do not want to see.
If civil strife breaks out and sea monsters or believers take the opportunity to launch an attack, the millennium-old foundations of major cities will be destroyed.
"Without further delay, let's immediately find a way to climb to the rooftop and strive to reach the Forbidden Temple in the shortest possible time!"
The ancestors of Fenglei City loudly proposed, and the ancestors of the surrounding Giant City simultaneously agreed.
"Your Excellency Tang Zhen, we need someone to explore the way next. What do you think?"
Tang Zhen had saved Zhao Datou from a disaster and was now considered a representative of the wandering warriors. The ancestors of Jucheng were wary and did not dare to arrest people as they did just now.
Tang Zhen's eyes were cold, he glanced at the group of cowering wandering warriors behind him, and shook his head gently.
"I only have more than a hundred people. As for the other warriors, they have nothing to do with me."
“So best.”
Including the ancestors of Fenglei City, all the ancestors of Giant City smiled softly, and looked at the wandering warriors with a cruel light in their eyes.
