Chapter 795 Blood Lotus Edict

Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided!
Yue Hanzhang never intended to let the stubborn aristocratic families off easily!
At this moment, all the heads of the die-hard aristocratic families came to the same conclusion.

Think about it. In Yue Hanzhang's words just now, how many times, explicitly and implicitly, did he mention the "unjust" nature of the previous bloody infighting among the stubborn aristocratic families?
to this end.

For cultivators from stubborn aristocratic families, the threshold for exchanging for the Six Dragons Robe is much higher than that for moderate aristocratic families, who can easily provide guarantees.

Not to mention.

Later, Yue Hanzhang pointed out incisively that the ultimate root cause of this internal strife and bloodshed lay in the hostility of the former stubborn aristocratic families towards him.

In doing so, Yue Hanzhang demanded a "handling fee," which was a direct challenge to the merits and achievements of the secret teachings passed down by various aristocratic families.

It directly targets the ancestral legacy of the die-hard families!
But do they have the right and ability to refuse?

Even just thinking about it.

The heads of all the powerful families, including the head of the Tao family, suddenly felt as if they were in a purgatory of extreme pain and suffering, like being in both ice and fire.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the terrifying power of the "Heartfire of the World's Furnace"!
Even now, they belatedly realize this.

In fact, it was not the stubborn, aristocratic families of the ancestors who could not escape punishment.

Yue Hanzhang was not prepared to let them off easily; in fact, he only wanted to punish the heads of the stubborn aristocratic families, as well as the top Venerable Kings who were the backbone of the infighting and bloody battles in the past.

A mysterious demonstration of the "Wedding Dress Technique," and the gradual opening of the purchase threshold for the various cultivators of the Dao Alliance's human race.

Yue Hanzhang successfully differentiated these truly stubborn and powerful clan leaders and elders who held partial power from the ordinary ancestral kings and the more ordinary patriarchs and venerable kings of the Dragon Map Outer Realm!
When Yue Hanzhang, with his current strength, status, and the authority to sell the Daoist teachings, openly announced that he would still pursue the bloody internal strife of the stubborn aristocratic families and stated that he would still hold them accountable.

Therefore, in this incident that has already lost its "justice," some "culprits" must step forward.

then.

At the time when Wang Xiaoyu had perished, the Wang family of Xiguan had been completely dismantled, and even the original powerful families of the four prefectures had been punished one after another.

When these stubborn, aristocratic monks carefully traced the origins...

Who gave the order to launch a counterattack against Yue Hanzhang in the past, intending to try to destroy the Beihai Tiandu lineage once again?

Head of a stubborn, aristocratic family!
Who deliberately drove Wang Xiaoyu insane in order to relieve pressure, and then failed to manage the situation in time after the incident, causing the internal strife to escalate into a bloody battle?

Head of a stubborn, aristocratic family!
These ordinary cultivators, living seemingly mundane lives, have to pay a greater price than others, and even require the approval of the clan's leaders, in order to exchange for that precious foundation of Daoist techniques. What is the reason for all this?
He is the head of a conservative family!

It's those elders who might disagree with giving up the clan's precious heritage!

When these "culprits" become obstacles on their path to spiritual progress.

When the actions of these "culprits" in the past have created today's exchange threshold, and they are highly likely to refuse to pay the price.

This moment.

Discontent was already brewing in an instant.

The struggle for power is always a small-scale battle.

For all living beings, for ordinary ancestors and kings, having reached the boundless starry sea and attained this state, in their physical and spiritual realm, only the Tao and the Dharma, and their own cultivation, are of paramount importance.

Everyone else must make way for their own path!
And this moment.

The changes in the minds of the ancestral kings were instantly revealed in their gazes as they looked at the heads and elders of the various noble families.

In an instant.

In that purgatory known as the "Heartfire of the World's Furnace," all feelings and perceptions became increasingly worse.

This moment is such a dilemma.

If they agree, they will be reluctant to give up the legacy of their ancestors.

No.

I fear that my life and status are at great risk of being destroyed.

Even this moment.

The Tao family head and the others had already sensed that the rising stars among their families were turning their thoughtful gazes toward the sacred realms of the powerful families in their own prefecture.

There are some things that even a prominent family in Zhenzhou, a stubborn and powerful family, might not dare to be the first to set a precedent for.

But what about these prominent families in towns and counties?

Their patriarchs, even when facing rising stars among the prominent families of Zhenzhou, probably wouldn't have the power to refuse.

And if these prominent families of towns and counties set an example first.

Once the head of the family and the elders are free from the psychological burden of being the "instigator," will they be able to gracefully step down?

While their own family members were already thinking about how to save face for the head of the family and the elders.

It would be impolite not to follow along.

This is the last chance given to the heads of various families before the "World Furnace Heartfire" resorts to destructive means.

It was also the final ultimatum.

Yue Hanzhang ignored the increasingly delicate atmosphere at the Dao Alliance's borders.

Under the watchful eyes of all the ancestral holy kings of the demon races, Yue Hanzhang no longer stayed at the ancient battlefield as before, but returned to the Heavenly Capital Holy Realm to take charge.

Before the decisive battle, Yue Hanzhang did not intend to continue to preside over the ancient battlefield with his current prestige and imposing manner, lest he provoke the demon race.

but.

Even if Yue Hanzhang held such a "mild" idea.

But when Yue Hanzhang presented the Six Dragons Gauze Robe to Master Shang in public, the scene was witnessed by the ancestral kings of the Dao Alliance, and also by the ancestral kings of the Demon Clan.

An extremely strong sense of crisis, even anxiety, had already been born in the minds of the Ancestral Lineage Saint Kings.

When Yue Hanzhang made public the conditions for purchasing the dragon-patterned gauze robe, he did not try to conceal anything.

The threshold requirements set by the conservative, aristocratic families who revered the king.

And then there are the monks from those moderate families who don't want to be bound by the chain of guarantees.

They will all turn their covetous eyes to the ancient battlefield!

This already foreshadowed that the intensity of the bloody battle between the two races would suddenly surge to an extremely fierce level, especially as the demon race had gradually lost its morale. Furthermore...

As the intensity of the bloody battle increases, there will inevitably be a positive improvement within the Dao Alliance's territory.

The dragon-patterned gauze robe, regardless of the number of dragons, greatly enhances one's cultural foundation.

The foundation of the Guangze clan has been enhanced!

Faced with the power of the truly golden age that Yue Hanzhang had accumulated time and again, from the former breeding industry alliance, Ge Ding and Xing Liu Medical and Pharmaceutical, and all the various things in between, to today's Long Xiang Sha Yi.

the first time.

The ancestral lineage of the Holy Kings felt a sense of despair and helplessness, realizing that the tide had turned against them and that there was no way to turn back.

Faced with this increasingly obvious disparity in strength, the sudden escalation of the fighting can only mean one thing—

The demon race will suffer a terrible defeat! A truly terrible defeat!
And what happened afterward.

This strongly corroborates the concerns of the ancestral lineages and holy kings.

While the conservative families were still making a final, extremely delicate compromise.

During this bloody battle, the cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage successively unleashed their potential. The Venerable Kings who climbed to the third level of the Outer Realm quickly completed their shifts on the ancient battlefield.

They then turned back to the Heavenly Capital Sacred Realm.

When they reappeared, they were exactly the same as the merchant, wearing six-dragon gauze robes.

and.

The cultivators of the Beihai Tiandu lineage rarely practice quiet cultivation; they mostly improve their realm and solidify their foundation through fierce battles.

thus.

After a brief replenishment of some of his physical and spiritual essence.

Including the merchants, they all eagerly returned to the ancient battlefield after a short period of seclusion and adjustment.

then.

In this battlefield, the demon race was the first to truly feel the terrifying increase in combat power possessed by the human cultivators after accumulating such a formidable foundation of Daoist techniques!
After that.

They were probably both stimulated.

Moreover, it was through the accumulation of resources that Jiang Ziran of the Shouyang Jiang family, whose own foundation improved the fastest, was the first to find Yue Hanzhang and complete the donning of the Six Dragons Gauze Robe.

and.

He then gave his guarantor's spot to an elder in the clan.

Thus, the guarantee chain of the moderate family was successfully initiated.

In this way, more and more beings are gaining superhuman combat power in the ancient battlefield!

and.

Compared to these prodigies who rose to prominence overnight and mastered the Six Dragons Robe, the more pragmatic ancestral kings did not hesitate to immediately improve their combat power.

They all successively put on the one-dragon gauze robe and the three-dragon gauze robe.

Even the lowest-tier Dragon Veil Robe brings an incredible boost to one's Daoist foundation through the supreme merits of the Yin and Yang aspects.

This means that even the weakest human cultivator at the first level of the Outer Realm has the potential to unleash their full potential in a short period of time and fight against opponents of higher levels.

And during this period.

Huang Zhishu, Yue Hanzhang's Daoist partner, was the first to turn back to the Heavenly Capital Sacred Realm.

As the former eldest daughter of the Huang family of Longchuan, she bet everything on Yue Hanzhang in hopes of ever getting a chance to learn the True Dragon Martial Arts.

Among Yue Hanzhang's Daoist partners, Huang Zhishu was almost the most "greedy" for all Daoist knowledge and cultivation gains, just like Yue Hanzhang.

Then, just a few very short days later, Huang Zhishu...

Wearing a nine-dragon gauze robe and displaying a vast and boundless foundation of nine-refinement of form and spirit, with his entire body complete and without the slightest burden or stagnation, he roamed the ancient battlefield.

The provocation to the demon race and the stubborn aristocratic families reached an unprecedented level!
The first boulder of the "landslide" crashed down from the mountaintop.

this moment.

The Lion King felt unprecedented pressure.

As the second-in-command among the former ancestral holy kings of the demon race, he was a strategist for the late Ape King.

The Lion King's prestige is subtly suggesting that he is poised to become the new supreme ruler, a patriarch of the lineage.

At this critical juncture, they took the lead.

The Lion King felt an immense pressure, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him.

And it was at this very moment.

As the Lion King faced the ever-worsening changes on the ancient battlefield with a gloomy expression every day.

Suddenly, one day...

When a demon king from a minor lion tribe, having finished his shift, was rushing from behind and about to brush past the lion king before charging into the ancient battlefield...

A passing moment.

It was aided by the demonic radiance and mist woven together by the ancestral lineage and the holy king.

The demon king suddenly shook his head.

Without missing a beat, a crimson jade light was flung out by the Demon King and landed right in front of the Lion King.

Within the jade light.

A lotus-shaped jade pendant, carved from blood jade, was humming.

"Huh? A royal decree?"
