Chapter 1916 The Overbearing Troll, the Indifference of People
"No!"
"Ancestor!!"
Not far away, a group of sword cultivators in green robes saw this scene and immediately cried out in anguish, wanting to rush over immediately.
However, several figures quickly blocked their way.
These figures were tall and imposing, making the group of human sword cultivators appear as small as infants in their presence. The overwhelming sense of oppression instantly subdued the group of sword cultivators.
Mo Fan frowned slightly as he looked at the group of alien cultivators.
This is a group of humanoid aliens wearing animal skins and with somewhat ugly appearances.
They were enormous, much taller than the Golden Ape Clan members. Their light brown skin was extremely rough, and each of them had thick calluses on their hands that resembled black armor. Their muscles were bulging and clearly defined, exuding an explosive aura.
Almost all of them wore necklaces made of skulls around their necks, and earrings with white bones hanging from their earlobes, making them look like a group of savages.
However, Mo Fan was no stranger to these guys; they were the Trolls, one of the major races that had invaded the Nine Provinces Continent in the past!
"Ok?"
Just then, the leading troll seemed to sense something. With a wave of light, he raised his hand and reached into the void in front of him, easily tearing the space apart and pulling out a semi-transparent figure.
"Damn it, release this old man!!"
The semi-transparent figure cried out in alarm, its expression filled with fear. Judging from its appearance, it was the old sword cultivator who had previously tried to force back the group of giant demons with his sword energy.
Of course, his physical body was dead; at this moment, he was merely a primordial spirit!
"Ancestor!!"
The group of sword cultivators in blue robes were all shocked by this scene and exclaimed in surprise.
"Ancestor?"
"He's just a mid-stage Saint Venerable cultivator, does he even deserve to be called an ancestor?"
The leading troll sneered upon hearing this, and with a sudden sniff, it inhaled the old swordsman's primordial spirit. The latter immediately let out a miserable scream, and turned into a wisp of light mist that disappeared into its nose, completely annihilating both body and soul!
"How...how could you commit such a heinous act here?!"
Seeing that even their ancestor's primordial spirit had been devoured, the group of green-robed sword cultivators were furious.
"Although my Sword Light Sect is not a major sect, we will never tolerate being humiliated by you vile alien races!"
"Today, I, this humble Taoist, will avenge our ancestor and slaughter you beasts!!"
One middle-aged swordsman drew his sword directly, unleashing an astonishing sword intent, with sword laws flowing around him, transforming into a white rainbow that vanished in an instant!
However, to the surprise of the cultivators, the white rainbow did not strike the group of giant demon cultivators, but instead fled in another direction.
That middle-aged swordsman actually wanted to escape from this place!
"I was just about to praise you for your backbone, but now it seems you're nothing more than a coward who fears death!"
Even the cultivators led by the trolls couldn't help but laugh at the scene before them. They grinned and chuckled, "You think you can escape from me?"
After saying that, he shattered the space in front of him with a punch, rushed into the void, and in the next instant, he tore through the void in a certain place in the sky and grabbed the middle-aged sword cultivator.
"Sect Leader!!"
The Sword Light Sect cultivators all cried out in alarm and attacked.
The middle-aged cultivator's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and then he gritted his teeth and fiercely thrust his sword at the giant demon.
The laws of swordsmanship condensed into a gigantic celestial sword at this moment.
The celestial sword swept across the sky, seemingly capable of cleaving the entire world in two.
However, the troll leader completely disregarded it, and with a single punch, he shattered a large part of the sky, not only destroying the giant celestial sword but also causing the middle-aged cultivator to vomit blood.
Before the middle-aged cultivator could react, he felt a large hand grab his head.
"Spare your life!"
"Spare me!!"
In an instant, the middle-aged cultivator was so frightened that he almost lost his mind and kept begging for mercy.
The troll leader didn't kill him, but instead grabbed his head and flew back to the troll territory, saying calmly, "Since these guys have so much guts, let's take them all down!"
Upon hearing this, the troll cultivators all took action at once, and within a few breaths, they subdued the group of cultivators from the Sword Light Sect.
In fact, apart from the deceased patriarch and the middle-aged sect leader who were at the Saint Venerable level, the rest of the Sword Light Sect members were merely Saint Emperor level cultivators, and were completely powerless to contend with these giant demon cultivators.
However, their actions angered a group of human cultivators nearby, and almost instinctively, many of them locked onto these trolls.
"Senior Zheng, your Zheng family is the number one family in Qingwu Continent. Are you just going to stand by and watch these alien cultivators act so arrogantly and domineeringly in our human territory?!"
An elderly cultivator looked at Zheng Hongyun, then bowed to him and said in a deep voice, "Please, senior, do justice for our human race!"
"We beg you, senior, to uphold justice for our human race!!"
Soon, hundreds of cultivators nearby spoke in deep voices and all looked at Zheng Hongyun.
Among these hundreds of cultivators were several half-step Great Saints, all of whom were patriarchs of various major forces. However, they dared not make any rash moves at this moment and could only place their hopes on Zheng Hongyun.
After all, Zheng Hongyun represents the Zheng family!
The Zheng family has dominated Qingwu Continent for countless years and is the only human force truly recognized by the surrounding major domains. Only the Zheng family can deter these alien races.
Zheng Hongyun frowned even more upon hearing this, but still looked at the giant demon leader and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, this is still within the territory of my Qingwu Continent. Your insolence is going too far!"
"Fellow Daoist Zheng, you are mistaken!"
"Everyone knows that this Void Ruins is an ancient battlefield, and its actual location is not in my Spirit Realm, but in a starry sky, so it can't be considered to be in Qingwu Continent!"
The troll chieftain grinned, then softened his tone and said, "It's not that I don't respect your Zheng family, but I've discovered that you've been here for so long without ever entering that secret place. In the end, you're all afraid of dying."
However, someone has to go and explore, otherwise if everyone is afraid of death, no one will be able to enter the secret place.
After all, the opening time of the Void Ruins is only three days.
"Since your Zheng family is the number one family in Qingwu Continent, it's naturally inconvenient for you to take action yourself. Therefore, we so-called 'outsiders' will have to do it for you."
With that, he threw the middle-aged cultivator in his hand hard into the canyon ahead, and then said coldly, "Go to the secret place in the canyon, and you may live. If you dare to run away or stay here, not only will you die, but all your disciples will also die!"
"hateful!"
"That guy is a complete bastard!"
"What right does he, a non-human, have to decide the life and death of human cultivators?!"
The nearby human cultivators were enraged again upon seeing this, but Mo Fan clearly noticed that the truly powerful individuals had fallen silent this time.
"Senior Zheng..."
The old man was about to speak again, but Zheng Hongyun glanced at him indifferently, and he immediately fell silent, swallowing back the words he was about to say.
"The Sword Light Sect acted arbitrarily, and its ancestor attempted to instigate a war between my Qingwu Continent and several major domains, which is why he was killed by the Giant Demon Clan. This is a private matter between the Sword Light Sect and the Giant Demon Clan, and even if I wanted to interfere, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to," Zheng Hongyun said calmly.
Upon hearing this, many human cultivators showed disappointment in their eyes.
Those who could come here were all powerful figures among the human race, so they naturally understood what Zheng Hongyun meant by those words.
Ultimately, Zheng Hongyun had no intention of getting involved.
This caused many cultivators to clench their fists.
"Since the Zheng family is unwilling to step forward, then we'll do it ourselves!"
"There are hundreds of powerful members of our human race here. If we attack together, these dozens of alien races will surely die!"
"Is there anyone willing to join me in this battle?!"
However, some cultivators stood up indignantly. With his shout, more than ten Saint Venerables flew to his side, all full of killing intent, and coldly looked at the group of giant demon cultivators.
However, only these cultivators were willing to step forward.
Other cultivators may have wanted to lend a hand, but ultimately they were too hesitant and did not step forward.
Mo Fan shook his head upon seeing this scene. While he admired the dozen or so Holy Venerables who had stepped forward, he also felt sorrow for them.
When people are not united, those who hold the flag cannot lead the tide; instead, they will become the first fish to die on the chopping block!
