Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Pei Ji? Aren’t you on duty in the shrine? When did you come back?”

Whoosh!

The moment they saw the green-robed man, everyone in the hall instantly stood up and revealed joyful expressions.

Soon after, they surrounded him at the fastest speed possible. They even forgot about Pei Zhan and Pei Lie’s deaths.

Pei Ji?

At this moment, Lin Wudao and the Mad Daoist arrived without anyone noticing with the help of the invisibility jade talisman.

When his gaze landed on Pei Ji, a hint of surprise flashed across Lin Wudao’s eyes because he realized that the other party’s identity was very unusual.

[Name: Pei Ji]

[Identity: Divine Secret Emissary of the Eastern Shrine]

[Cultivation: Perfection stage of the Divine Illumination realm)

God’s Spiritual Eye scanned Pei Ji, and a lot of information about him immediately appeared in the form of an interface.

“Eastern Shrine? Divine Secrets emissaries?”

Looking at Pei Ji’s introduction, Lin Wudao was puzzled.

“Mad Daoist, do you know about the Eastern Shrine?”

He sent a voice transmission.

“Yes.”

The Mad Daoist nodded.

“The Eastern Shrine is an extremely special power in the eastern region. It is above the other major factions like the Tianlong Ancient Kingdom. It can be said that the Eastern Shrine is the true ruler of the eastern region. I heard that the Eastern Shrine not only has extremely powerful divine weapons but also powerful existences above the Divine Illumination realm.”

“That being said, although the Eastern Shrine has an extraordinary status, they usually don’t interfere with the specific affairs of the eastern region. Under normal circumstances, they only serve as supervisors, judges, and adjudicators. Most of the time, they mediate the conflicts between the various large factions in the eastern region and maintain a balanced state.”

The Mad Daoist introduced the faction.

The ruler of the eastern region?

Hearing this, Lin Wudao frowned.

After entering the Mountain Mausoleum Area for so long, this was the first time he had heard the name Eastern Shrine.

To think he knew nothing before this.

“Isn’t the cultivation of people in the Mountain Mausoleum Area restricted to the Divine Illumination realm because of the great change in the world? How can someone reach the Divine Power realm?” Lin Wudao continued to ask.

Hearing this, the Mad Daoist shook his head.

“I’m not too sure about this. It is said that this involves the ancient secrets of the Mountain Mausoleum Area. Perhaps only the five shrines of the Mountain Mausoleum Area know some information. Furthermore, reaching the Divine Illumination realm and above seems to be related to the Dual World War.”

The five shrines? The Dual World War?

Lin Wudao became increasingly confused as the Mad Daoist spoke.

“Other than the Eastern Shrine, there are other shrines?”

“Yes. The Mountain Mausoleum Area is extremely vast. It originally evolved from a collapsed small world, so it contains countless mysteries and secrets. The five main regions of the Mountain Mausoleum Area are the eastern region, the southern region, the western region, the northern region, and the central region. Every region has a shrine,” The Mad Daoist continued.

“Then what is the Dual World War about?”

“Oh, the so-called Dual World War refers to the war that takes place in the eastern region’s Dual World Mountain. There is a boundary stele on Dual World Mountain. On one side of the boundary stele are the living beings of the human race; On the other side are many powerful foreign races. The Dual World War is a war between humans and the foreign races.”

“It’s said that a Dual World War is held every hundred years. The two sides will have an earth-shattering war on Dual World Mountain to fight for territory and resources. The losing side will lose a large area of territory and will also have to pay a lot of cultivation resources. Every time the Dual World War occurs, it will affect the various large factions. Any faction that has some strength has to participate. At that time, the members of the army will be recruited and commanded by the Eastern Shrine. Looking at the time, the Dual World War this time around is not far away.”

Speaking of this, the Mad Daoist’s eyes lit up with excitement.

He loved war. As long as there were dead people, it was heaven to him.

In the Dual World Mountain, there had been more than ten million wars over countless years. Once the war started, he would surely be able to make a fortune.

The more he thought about it, the more excited the Mad Daoist became.

“Brother Ren, I’ve calculated that there’s only three months left until the Dual World War. If nothing unexpected happens, the Eastern Shrine will soon begin to recruit an army. If that’s the case, I’m afraid the Canglan ancient race and the Lihuo ancient race won’t fight. They have to prepare to participate in the battle,” The Mad Daoist sighed.

After hearing his explanation, Lin Wudao more or less understood.

“If that’s the case, will the Tushan family be recruited by the Eastern Shrine to join the Dual World War too?”

His heart trembled slightly.

Although the Tushan family had some power now, they were still too weak. If they went to the Dual World War, they might not be able to survive.

Those were his people! If they died in the Dual World War, where would he get offerings and sacrifices as the Qingshan Demonic God?

“The Tushan family is still too weak. Looks like after I return, I will have to upgrade my territory and power to prepare for the upcoming war,” Lin Wudao pondered.

Then, he once again focused his gaze on Pei Ji in the hall.

“Pei Ji, weren’t you on duty in the shrine? Why did you suddenly come back?” Pei Cang arrived in front of Pei Ji and asked in a deep voice.

“I came back to take a look. Who would have thought that the moment I stepped into the Lihuo Ancient City, I would hear the news of the clan leader and Ah Lie’s deaths? Sigh, fate is really playing tricks on us,” Pei Ji frowned and sighed.

At this point, everyone’s faces revealed indignation again.

“FImph, this is all the doing of that damned Canglan ancient race. We have to take revenge for this!” Someone roared.

“That’s right! Those who offend us must be killed!”

“At most, we’ll just start a war.”

“The clan leader, All Lie, and the rest cannot die in vain like this!”

Everyone roared and their killing intent soared to the sky.

Immediately after, all of them drew their weapons and stared at Pei Cang. It was as if they would immediately charge toward the Canglan ancient race as soon as he gave the order.

Pei Cang frowned and thought for a long time before shaking his head.

“I think Pei Ji is right. We have to think about this matter carefully.”

After a long time, he sighed and said.

“Grand Elder, there’s no need to think about it further. The situation is already very clear. Let’s just make the Canglan ancient race pay in blood!”

“We are not afraid of death!”

“Yes! Grand Elder, as long as you say the word, we will immediately lead our men to war against the Canglan ancient race!”

Everyone clamored to fight again.

“Shut up!”

Facing the noisy crowd, Pei Cang shouted. His powerful aura and dignity instantly silenced the crowd.

“No more talk about starting a war again! Although the Canglan ancient race has killed Pei Zhan and Pei Lie, now is not the time to start a war with them. In a few months, the Dual World War will begin. Even if there is a grudge, we will have to wait until the battlefield of the Dual World Mountain to take revenge,” Pei Cang said sternly.

Ha!

Upon hearing about the Dual World War, the expressions of the people who were originally furious changed drastically. All of them shut their mouths, their expressions turning solemn.

The Lihuo ancient race had existed for tens of thousands of years. This was not their first time participating in the Dual World War, but each time, they suffered heavy losses.

Currently, the Dual World War was about to begin. If they were to start a war with the Canglan ancient race now, it would result in both sides suffering heavy losses.

At that time, once the Dual World War started, the Lihuo ancient race would probably be wiped out.

Thinking of this, everyone’s hearts trembled, and they no longer dared to mention the matter of starting a war.

At the same time, Pei Gang’s worried gaze landed on Pei Ji. He had a feeling that the latter’s return this time was for something else..
