Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 240 Deploying Troops
Li Yao naturally had no reason to refuse Chi Yunyao's request.

He only wanted to give them a warning; as for bloodshed, he didn't care at all. Whether they lived or died, it didn't matter.

Before anyone could understand what had happened, they could sense that the tense atmosphere had vanished.

The most obvious thing is that the oppressive atmosphere is gone, and I feel much more relaxed.

"So, this is the end?"

Everyone present was confused, but soon they understood.

With a wave of her jade hand, Chi Yunyao tore open the void and pulled Xue Sha from the depths of the Blood Lightning Lake over, tossing him to Li Yao.

Blood Killer was completely bewildered at that moment, not understanding what was happening, before falling into Li Yao's hands.

After a moment, he realized what had happened, and his face turned ashen. Even though he didn't know the details, he knew that he had been abandoned.

Not only him, but even the onlookers almost all understood the situation the moment they saw the bloodshed.

So, the Blood Lightning Clan has given in?!

“It’s a promise, a thousand years, you can’t take his life,” Chi Yunyao said.

"Don't worry, he's not so important that he has to be killed."

As Li Yao spoke, he raised his hand and struck out with a palm, creating a hundred-zhang-deep pit next to the Blood Lightning Lake, and then cast a pagoda out of mud.

That wasn't all. He then began to carve patterns on the pagoda, each one extremely profound, exhausting the wonders of the changes in heaven and earth.

Beneath the northern land, primordial energy rose from hundreds of thousands of miles away, converging towards the pagoda.

At the same time, Li Yao also summoned a dragon vein to stabilize this land, ensuring a continuous flow of its vital energy.

"Six seals of immortality, stabilize mountains and rivers, and restrain the dragon veins!" The Queen Mother of the West was shocked.

The Yaochi Holy Land has a close relationship with the fifth generation Yuan Tianshi and knows a lot about Yuan Tianshi's methods, so it recognized this method.

"This is the legendary Six Seals of Forbidden Immortals, which can seal gods!" Jiang Yifei's eyes burned brightly as he opened his Heavenly Eye and stared intently at the dazzling patterns.

The supreme divine technique of the Yuan Celestial Master lineage, the Six Seals of Immortal Forbiddenness, is renowned throughout the Northern Region. It is said that when cultivated to its peak, it can seal the heavens and earth!

“This world has changed, but that tower has stopped the transformation, at least inside the tower!” Zixia, being in harmony with the Dao, sensed this.

After cultivating to the second level of immortality, the innate Dao embryo merges with the Dao, becoming one with the universe, and has an extremely keen perception of the laws of the universe.

"It's not just the Six Seals of Immortal Forbiddenness; there are other methods as well, which are beyond our comprehension. They have already transcended the mundane." The Queen Mother of the West's beautiful eyes were even more shocked.

The Six Seals of Forbidden Immortals that Li Yao is currently using are clearly more powerful than the original ones, exceeding the original scope and being more profound!

Unbeknownst to her, the Origin Heaven Book that Li Yao was learning was a fusion of the Origin Scripture and the Origin Heaven Book, far more powerful than the original.

If one cultivates the new version of the Origin Book to its peak, one can glimpse the mysteries of the Quasi-Emperor realm!

Chi Yunyao's beautiful eyes were also fixed on the patterns, and she was also extremely surprised.

This sealing technique is very powerful and mysterious. It relies on underground veins and radiates for hundreds of thousands of miles. To break the formation, one either needs a corresponding method or one needs to shatter the earth for hundreds of thousands of miles.

She was somewhat surprised and also saw through Li Yao's plan.

This grand formation is incredibly profound. To break it from the array patterns, one would need to know the original array patterns and shatter hundreds of thousands of miles of land...

Blood Lake is also within it. In order to save Blood Kill, the ancestral land of Blood Lake was abandoned.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"The cunning human race, in just a moment, has come up with such a trick. Did he come to Blood Lightning Lake to cause trouble beforehand and already plan all the outcomes?" Chi Yunyao had a suspicion in her heart, but she had no evidence.

After making all the preparations, Li Yao took the Blood Killer sword and began to seal his cultivation.

Blood Killer did not resist, letting Li Yao do as he pleased, completely resigned to his fate.

He had no choice but to accept his fate. The Blood Lightning Clan had abandoned him, and with his cultivation level, he was utterly powerless against Li Yao, lacking even the courage to fight to the death.

"You spoke rudely, but your crime does not warrant death. I will seal you away for a thousand years as a warning to others." Li Yao, carrying the Blood Killer, locked him in the pagoda and announced this loudly.

He hadn't forgotten his purpose: to use this to put pressure on other ancient clans. Naturally, he needed to spread the word.

The onlookers immediately understood, so the Blood Lightning Clan had truly given in, handing over Blood Kill and allowing Li Yao to seal it for a thousand years!
Shocked!

It was an unparalleled shock. One of the ten great royal families, a leader among many royal families, had actually been subdued by Li Yao alone. This was simply unbelievable.

At this moment, Li Yao's status in everyone's hearts rose once again.

But actually, this idea is wrong.

Although Li Yao forced the Blood Lightning Clan to admit defeat, it wasn't entirely by his own strength.

If it weren't for the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Supreme Emperor Weapon Dragon Pattern Cauldron, Chi Yunyao would never have been so easy to talk to.

This is a Saint King at the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm, only half a step away from becoming a Great Saint. With her talent, it's only a matter of time.

Such an existence cannot be defeated by oneself alone. Even if he controls the Emperor Formation, he is no match for Chi Yunyao.

After sealing the Blood Killer, Li Yao turned and left. Those who came with him did not dare to linger and all summoned the Xuan Yu Platform to cross the void.

This is Bloodlight Lake, an absolute forbidden zone for living beings under normal circumstances. The fact that they dared to get so close today is because of Li Yao's power.

Now that Li Yao has left, if they stay any longer, they might be killed by Blood Electric Lake in a fit of rage.

As the spectators dispersed, the news spread throughout the world.

In an instant, the northern region was shaken, and the eastern wilderness was shaken.

Faced with Blood Kill's challenge, the Holy Lord of Yao Guang directly went to their doorstep!

In a magnificent restaurant in the holy city, business was booming and the place was packed with people.

The owner of the restaurant had personally witnessed the battle. Upon returning, he immediately announced that he would recount the details of the battle in his restaurant.

"If they really go to fight Blood Kill, there's no need to guess; the Holy Lord of Yao Guang will definitely win."

"Eh, sir, you've misunderstood. The Holy Lord of Yao Guang did not fight Blood Killer. His opponent was a Saint!"

"What?! Saint! Boss, please tell me in detail." Inside the restaurant, all the cultivators who hadn't gone yet couldn't contain themselves and hurriedly begged the boss to explain.

The Holy Lord of Yaoguang has only recently broken through to the Dao-Slaying Realm. Is it too early for him to fight a Saint now?

"Hehe, I know what you're all thinking. You're probably thinking, what level is the Holy Lord of Yaoguang? How could he possibly fight a Saint?" The restaurant owner immediately voiced everyone's thoughts.

This is not hard to guess, because before the big battle, those who were watching also had the same idea; now it's just that it's someone else's turn.

"Bring me a pot of Heavenly Dew, boss, stop dawdling and hurry up."

The boss beamed with joy, quickly cupped his hands in greeting, and without further delay, began to explain in detail.

"What?! A Saint at the Fifth Heaven!"

"We won, and we even overpowered Bloodlight Lake, suppressing this generation of Blood Killers!"

……

Such things happen in every corner of the Eastern Wilderness; the same thing is happening everywhere.

On this day, the Eastern Wilderness was far from peaceful, and everyone's mind was filled with shock.

In recent years, as the ancient races have gradually recovered, they have inevitably begun to clash with the human race, and many small and medium-sized forces have been suppressed to the extreme.

In the past few years, nearly several thousand small and medium-sized forces have been affected and destroyed.

This shows the arrogance of the ancient race. Many human cultivators are only enduring it because they are afraid of the ancient race's power. Now that someone has taken action and destroyed the ancient race's prestige, it naturally makes many people feel a sense of satisfaction.

Unlike the human race, the ancient race reacted differently upon learning of this matter. Some were filled with fear, some remained unchanged, and some even completely disregarded it.

The first type is someone who previously attacked the human race, but after that incident, they became much more restrained in their actions, fearing that they might inadvertently attract the attention of Yao Guang.

The second type is a small group of races that are not very hostile to humans, so they are not afraid that Yao Guang will suddenly target them.

The first two are unimportant, as they achieved the result Li Yao wanted. Only the third one shows great hostility towards the human race, and even after this incident, it remains unrepentant.

Such as the Ten Ferocious Races among the myriad races, these races are inherently ferocious, and they occasionally attack not only the human race, but also all other races.

Most of these races have one thing in common: they need living beings to cultivate themselves.

Clans like the Blood Moon Clan and the Azure Ghost Clan require the blood of living beings for their cultivation. Clans like the Blue Demon Clan have a Blue Demon Tree that can absorb souls to aid their cultivation.

These races are not inherently ferocious; rather, it is a necessity for their cultivation, making it impossible for them to abandon their enmity with humans.

In the world today, the race with the largest population is undoubtedly the human race. If we cannot plunder the human race, our strength will weaken.

This is absolutely intolerable for a race.

These races were also on Li Yao's kill list, and he had no intention of letting them go.

But not now. He is not ready for a full-scale war. Neither he nor Yao Guang has the ability.

Although the various races are scattered, they are more united than the human race.

If Yao Guang were to actually send troops to annihilate a royal family, the royal families behind it would certainly not sit idly by and would stand up to uphold the prestige of the entire ancient race.

On the other hand, if the human race were besieged by several royal families, would they send troops to help?
Li Yao lacked confidence, but it was highly unlikely that they would actually intervene; they would sit back and watch the fight unfold, rather than getting involved themselves.

When that time comes, the destruction of Yaoguang will be imminent.

However, while they could not destroy the royal family, it did not mean they would do nothing and let the ancient clans run rampant.

Five days after the battle at Bloodlight Lake, Yaoguang sent out its troops, not in organized formations, but in large, scattered groups, distributed around the areas where the fierce clans such as the Green Ghost Clan, Blood Moon Clan, and Blue Demon Clan resided.

The reason for not taking action to eliminate them is to avoid clashing with the royal family, but preventing them from harming the common people is naturally not a problem.

The royal family simply doesn't want the royal family to be wiped out, thereby damaging the prestige of all races. It doesn't mean that I have to interfere if a few of your people die or your cultivation is not going well.

They are not that close to each other yet; even the Silver Clan and the Gold Clan would never be that close.

For example, with the Blood Lightning Clan, Li Yao simply doesn't take action to exterminate the clan, and the royal family won't intervene either.

Therefore, Li Yao acted decisively, sending out 70% of Yao Guang's troops to garrison in some cities or towns.

This action was taken to keep an eye on those fierce tribes and prevent them from plundering the human people.

Undoubtedly, this move once again shook the Eastern Wilderness.

"The Holy Lord Yaoguang is... doing this to protect those mortals?!"

"probably?"

Even humans didn't quite understand this behavior. As cultivators, they actually looked down on mortals.

They were naturally aware that the ancient clans were attacking the common people on such a large scale, but no one would put themselves in danger for the sake of these mortals.

Li Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea; he used to think the same way.

Don't be fooled by his current success; it's only because he's now capable.

If he were merely a cultivator at the Four Extremes Secret Realm or the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm at this moment, he would most likely walk away in such a situation, unless he was certain that there was absolutely no danger before he would feel compassion and take action.

Ultimately, he is not the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice for others. What he is doing now is only because he can do it without any danger, and that's why he made this choice.

Blood Moon Ridge.

This is a mountain ridge, resembling a crescent moon fallen from the sky and landed on the earth.

Blood Moon Ridge lives up to its name, its entire body is blood red, and when night falls, it truly resembles a blood moon rising from the horizon.

This place is a dangerous place, even more dangerous than Blood Lightning Lake, because it is the territory of the Blood Moon Clan, one of the ten most ferocious clans.

At the same time, the Blood Moon Clan is one of the ten royal clans, which shows how powerful they are!
On this day, a large number of powerful figures from the Yao Guang Sect arrived around Blood Moon Ridge, and immediately witnessed something that made everyone's hearts jump.

The area where Blood Moon Ridge is located was not like this at first. It was originally quite prosperous, but three years ago, Blood Moon Ridge rose from underground and came to the surface. Then, all the surrounding creatures became cultivation resources for the Blood Moon Clan.

PS: Ye Fan's third transformation into a dragon is the Eighth Forbidden Realm, and he first entered the Divine Forbidden Realm in the second game... Also, in my setting, this queen was originally a genius, a Saint King of the Ninth Heaven who was over seven hundred years old...
