Chapter 1212 The war breaks out
Greed, like rampant weeds, gradually devours the light and kindness in people's hearts, plunging them into the abyss.
The legends of the Yuanling Clan were known to all the rulers of the Great Yan Dynasty. They knew that it was an ancient clan with extraordinary talent. Hearing that there were still descendants in the world and that such strange phenomena could be caused, greed appeared in everyone's eyes.
The Great Yan Dynasty is the secular overlord of the Azure Nether Continent, controlling vast territories in the Central and Northern Regions.
He commanded countless martial arts practitioners and formed an alliance with the Taichu Dao Academy, relying on the spiritual techniques provided by the academy to consolidate his rule.
Over the years, he has been ambitious and wanted to annex the Southern Region and the Western Region and unify the continent. However, due to the complex terrain of the Southern Region and the entrenched power of various sects, he has never succeeded.
Now that we know that the descendants of the Yuanling Clan have appeared in the world, if we can capture them, imprison them, force them to serve the dynasty, or extract their bloodline power to refine heaven-defying pills and magical artifacts, the strength of the Great Yan Dynasty will surely increase dramatically, and the unification of the continent will be just around the corner.
"Ancestor, such an opportunity is one that our Great Yan Dynasty must not miss!" Yan Hong's eyes blazed with fervent light. As the Emperor of Great Yan, he yearned more than anyone to strengthen the dynasty and leave his mark on history. "But I wonder, where are these descendants of the Origin Spirit Clan hiding?"
"Although the crystal is damaged, it can still sense the location of the Origin Spirit Bloodline." Yan Cangwu raised his hand and waved it, taking the Origin Crystal into his palm.
At this moment, the aura on the surface of the crystal gradually faded.
Upon closer inspection, tiny specks of light could still be seen flickering in the south.
That is the South—is it the Southern Region?
This is a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem.
Yan Cangwu narrowed his eyes, making it impossible to discern his expression.
After pondering for a while, Yan Cangwu raised his eyes and looked around. What he saw were pairs of eyes filled with greed.
Ha ha!
This is the Great Yan Dynasty.
Therefore, if a person doesn't look out for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth.
What did he do wrong?
Yan Cangwu's lips curled slightly without making a sound before he spoke: "The resonance light lasted for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, which was enough for the crystal to pinpoint the bloodline's location—the Southern Region! That descendant is in the Southern Region!"
Southern Regions?
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other with blank expressions, no one could figure it out!
However, the Ancestor was the number one person in the Great Yan Dynasty, so he could naturally see through the tricks that they couldn't understand.
However, the Southern Region is far from the Central Plains, with remote terrain, towering mountains, numerous sects, and a fierce and unruly populace. It has never been under the control of the Great Yan Dynasty, making it no easy task to find someone in the Southern Region.
Looking at these people who were greedy and cowardly, acting like fools who would reap the benefits of others' efforts, Yan Cangwu lowered his eyes and suppressed the contempt in his heart.
One day, these people's greed will gradually devour all reason, and they will become just as unscrupulous as him.
Now, naturally, we have to give it a push.
"So what about the Southern Region?" Raising his eyes again, Yan Cangwu's gaze suddenly turned sinister and ruthless. "My Great Yan Dynasty is the overlord of the continent. What is there to fear from the mere Southern Region? The descendants of the Origin Spirit Clan must be obtained! Whether through possession or imprisonment, they must not fall into the hands of others! Even if it triggers a war between the dynasties and makes us enemies of all forces in the Southern Region, we will not hesitate!"
Yan Cangwu's lifespan has come to an end. He has no time to plan slowly and must find the descendant of the Yuanling Clan as soon as possible to seize his body. Otherwise, things will change.
As for these idiots?
Whether it's 4 or 5, what does it have to do with him?
As long as he can live forever, that's all that matters!
Yan Cangwu's words carried an undeniable authority, as well as a desperate madness. Everyone present fell silent, and no one dared to raise any objections.
After a moment of contemplation, Yan Hong gritted his teeth and made up his mind. The allure of the Yuanling Clan was too great, so great that it was enough to make him disregard everything, even at the risk of annihilation, to take the gamble.
Putting aside the question of whether they could unify the Azure Continent, it was all brought about by the pure-blooded descendants of the Source Spirit Clan…
Perhaps, he can reach even greater heights?
"Pass on my orders!" Yan Hong shouted in a deep voice, his voice filled with domineering power and determination, echoing throughout the entire treasure vault and reaching the ears of everyone present.
"Dispatch 100,000 iron cavalry from the Northern Region, a mighty torrent of steel, and 50,000 martial cultivators from the Central Plains, an overwhelming force. We also request the Taichu Dao Academy to send 100 spiritual cultivators to provide their full assistance. With the Ancestor personally leading the charge, we will immediately march south to the Southern Region to search for the descendants of the Yuanling Clan! Anyone who obstructs our advances will be severely punished! Anyone who provides clues about the descendants of the Yuanling Clan will be richly rewarded with 10,000 gold pieces and granted the title of Marquis of 10,000 households!"
Once the order was issued, the entire Great Yan Dynasty instantly sprang into operation, much like a sophisticated machine.
Within the imperial city, troops were mobilized, armor clanged, and 100,000 iron cavalrymen, like tigers descending the mountain, roared off from the northern region, kicking up clouds of dust like rolling yellow clouds, and sped toward the southern region.
The martial arts legion of Zhongzhou was fully prepared, each member exuding a powerful aura, like volcanoes about to erupt, brimming with killing intent.
Upon receiving a request for help from the Great Yan Dynasty, the Tai Chu Dao Academy, mindful of the deep friendship between the two sides and eager to gain a share of the pie from the Yuan Ling Clan, immediately dispatched a hundred highly skilled spiritual cultivators to travel to the Southern Region on flying magical artifacts, like birds in flight.
In an instant, the shadow of war loomed over the Azure Continent like dark clouds. The army of the Great Yan Dynasty pressed in like a tidal wave, heading straight for the Southern Region. The forces along the way were filled with fear and unease, like frightened birds, wondering what the purpose of this sudden southward conquest was.
The instigator of all this, Yan Cangwu, was sitting cross-legged on the flying magic artifact, holding the Origin Crystal in his palm.
Although the crystal had stopped moving, Yan Cangwu believed that he had not been mistaken before; the pure-blooded descendants of the Yuanling Clan were in the Southern Region.
However, the Southern Region is too vast, and without crystals to guide the way, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact location.
But that's okay.
Let's conquer the Southern Region first.
In any case, the Great Yan Dynasty already had a plan for the Azure Continent, and this is just a matter of bringing it forward a little.
Having taken control of the Southern Region, why would we fear that the descendants of the Origin Spirit Clan could escape alive? That would be a huge joke.
The crystal had already lit up once six months ago.
However, it is very faint.
It's nowhere near as dazzling as this one!
Therefore, he is not in a hurry.
As long as the pure-blooded descendants of the Yuanling Clan remain in the Southern Region, the crystal will surely continue to shine.
A ferocious smile appeared on Yan Cangwu's withered face, his eyes filled with tangible greed, and he began to fantasize about the scene after seizing the Origin Spirit Bloodline.
He had already made thorough preparations. If the descendant of the Source Spirit Clan knew what was good for him and obediently surrendered, he would directly use the Body Seizure Technique to take over his body—the feeling of youth must be wonderful!
He truly, truly hates his decaying physical body.
Even if there are mountains of rare and precious natural treasures.
Want to break through?
Ha ha!
This body can't hold on any longer; it's likely to explode and die first.
But he didn't say it.
He couldn't say either.
The weak eat the strong.
If he shows any weakness, he will be torn to pieces by the young king!
Therefore, Yan Cangwu couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile—this descendant of the Yuanling Clan had better know his place.
If there is resistance, or if there is any force that tries to stop him, he will spare no effort to kill all those who stand in his way. Even if he severely injures a descendant of the Source Spirit Clan, he will still extract his Source Spirit bloodline and refine it into "his" body.
He still has several bodies in existence.
Although his talent is far inferior to that of the descendants of the Source Spirit Clan, he is fortunate enough to be young enough to refine the bloodline of the descendants of the Source Spirit Clan, which will surely improve his aptitude.
Therefore, even if they cannot possess another body, they must still claim the power of this heaven-defying bloodline of the Yuanling Clan's descendants as their own.
There is no room for error.
In Yan Cangwu's eyes, the pure-blooded descendant of the Yuanling Clan was no longer a living person, but a treasure that could grant him immortality and allow him to reach the pinnacle, a prey at his mercy.
That's it.
