C3990 The Mysterious Temple of Darkness
Chen Xiao was shocked. This was the first time he had heard of this name. He looked at Fu Zhenghong with a serious expression.
"Dark Shrine? What is that?" Fu Zhenghong looked at Duan Ping and asked.
Duan Ping also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He only said, "I don't know either. This is also what the City Lord said. It is said that the Dark Shrine is a secret force that has existed for an unknown period of time."
"Subvert the power of the human race? Don't tell me you're referring to the current nine great transcendent powers?" Chen Xiao asked.
He only felt that it was ridiculous. These nine great transcendent forces were not like the Sand Demon Race. Not only did they have powerful Immortal Realm experts, but they also had many Immortal Realm cultivators with astonishing strength.
Chen Xiao found it hard to imagine what kind of existence would try to overturn the nine great forces of the human race.
He remembered the name Dark Shrine.
The two evil cultivators from before were also related to the Dark Shrine. When he had the chance, he would definitely investigate them thoroughly.
Duan Ping's face was gloomy as he nodded his head and said: "Yes, I don't really believe it either. There's actually such a hidden force that wants to overturn the Nine Great Forces. You have to know that our Green Cloud City is one of the forces of the Immortal Weapon Sect. Heh, it's really unbelievable."
"I wonder how much Brother Duan Ping knows about the Dark Shrine?"
Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat as he asked.
Duan Ping shook his head and said, "Other than this name, I don't think I know any more than you do. Those two evil cultivators just now were most likely from the Dark Shrine."
Chen Xiao's face darkened. The Dark Shrine was even more mysterious than he had imagined. What he saw now was only the tip of the iceberg.
With just a casual attack, he had stirred up the entire Unparalleled Divine Dynasty. It was truly shocking.
The only good news was that at least he knew who the enemy was and was no longer a headless fly.
"The Dark Shrine is such a terrifying force. The enemy is in the dark while I'm in the light. It's impossible to guard against. I can't even find a chance to take revenge."
Fu Zhenghong said angrily with a dark expression.
She was extremely angry. She was severely injured, and her soul had been damaged. Her strength had decreased dramatically, and her lifespan had been greatly decreased. The damage to her was permanent.
She hated him to the core but there was no way to take revenge.
"En." Duan Ping nodded his head with a solemn expression.
Chen Xiao let out a long breath and changed the topic, "I still have to thank Brother Duan Ping for scaring those two away just now, which saved us from a disaster."
Now, he understood.
The reason why the Blood Warding Saber Demon and the Thousand Corpse Evil Elder retreated without fighting and left in a hurry was because they were afraid of Duan Ping and the other guards of Green Cloud City who had rushed over.
Although the two wicked cultivators were strong and cruel, they would be in trouble if they were caught.
Therefore, they chose to run.
Duan Ping looked deeply at Chen Xiao and said, "As expected, those two people came for you, Brother Chen Xiao. I just don't know where those two people came from. Is it related to the Dark Shrine?"
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, and said: "One of them claimed to be the Blood Splitting Sword Demon, and the other claimed to be the Thousand Corpse Evil Elder. They were the evil cultivators who attacked us on the Cloud Ship. Yuan Wucai died at their hands and was related to the demon race. They should be the people from the Dark Shrine that you mentioned just now."
"Blood-Splitting Blade Demon? Thousand Corpse Evil Elder?"
Duan Ping frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I've never heard of this name before. It's all thanks to Brother Chen Xiao's information. With these two names, I might be able to find out something."
"I hope so," Chen Xiao agreed.
"From the looks of it, the two of you are also going to Green Cloud City. If that's the case, why don't you take the chance to take care of each other along the way?"
Duan Ping said generously when he saw that Fu Zhenghong's soul was injured.
Chen Xiao's face was filled with joy as he said, "In that case, thank you very much."
"It's just a small matter. Recently, there have been a lot of cultivators coming to Green Cloud City. It's only right for us to receive them."
Duan Ping said with a smile.
"Yes."
"Let's go then. The two of you can just follow."
Duan Ping immediately took out a Cloud Ship and opened it in the air. The group of five then boarded the Cloud Ship and sped toward Blue Cloud City.
Along the way, the yellow sand quickly retreated behind them. Its speed was more than twice as fast as Chen Xiao's Cloud Ship.
The yellow sand that filled the sky had little effect on the Cloud Boats as they flew through the air at an extremely fast speed.
This made Chen Xiao even more curious, and he said, "Brother Duan Ping, this Cloud Ship does not travel in a straight line, but in a curve?"
Duan Ping laughed and said, "Brother Chen Xiao, you might not know this, but traveling in the yellow sand can only be done by following the flow. That is the most efficient and fastest way."
"Follow the momentum? What momentum?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.
"It's naturally the momentum of this yellow sand array."
"Oh, I heard that this Yellow Sand Array was set up by the Immortal Weapon Sect ten thousand years ago to suppress the Sand Demon Clan. I didn't expect it to have such a use," Chen Xiao asked tentatively.
Right now, the two of them were still carrying the matter of the Sand King on their shoulders and needed to do something.
As long as it was related to the Sand Demon Race, they could also ask around.
Duan Ping sneered and said, "Back then, it was the Sand Demon Clan that didn't know what was good for them. They killed the genius disciples of the Immortal Weapon Sect and angered the Immortal Weapon Sect. That was why they forced the Immortal Weapon Sect to attack with all their strength and suppress them with force. They had no choice but to be trapped under this yellow sand array forever, never to rise up again. Oh right, why is Brother Chen Xiao so curious about such an old matter?"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and immediately covered it up. He laughed: "Nothing, I'm just curious. Legend has it that the Sand Demon Clan owns a Dust Crystal Mine. That's a good thing."
Duan Ping chuckled and said in a low voice, "What, you heard some rumors too?"
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, does Brother Duan Ping think it's true?"
Duan Ping said in a low voice, "It's said that the Immortal Weapon Sect attacked the Sand Country because they were jealous of the Dust Crystals of the Sand Country. They paid a huge price to attack the core of the Sand Country."
Chen Xiao's probing made Duan Ping speak out what he was thinking, and it indeed matched the rumors.
Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with a bright light, and he said, "Could it be that Brother Duan Ping also feels that the actions of the Immortal Weapon Sect are not right?"
Duan Ping looked deeply at Chen Xiao, chuckled, and said, "The righteous path? Brother Chen Xiao's words have a hidden meaning, so you might as well be straightforward."
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said: "Hehe, if Brother Duan Ping wants to hear it, then I will just say it. The Immortal Weapon Sect is powerful, but the Sha Clan is weak. For a mere Dust Crystal Mine, the huge Immortal Weapon Sect did not hesitate to start a war against the Sha Clan, and there were countless casualties. Isn't this shameful?"
Hearing that, Duan Ping laughed, and his smile was filled with ridicule.
