Chapter 387: The Curtain Falls!
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
It was just an exhalation of a breath, but the bird burst apart as if it'd been hit by a sniper rifle!
A bunch of feathers floated messily in the air, and blood stained the ground.
If it was a normal person instead of the bird that had wandered into the path of the breath, their ending would not be any better.
Bai Xiang's body shone with a golden light, causing him to look like a Buddha!
The sharpness of the golden light around Bai Xiang's was without compare. His aura had an indomitable presence, as if he was a sharp sword that could slice through everything!
***
Deep in a forbidden land of the Kunlun mountain range, a place where countless people revered as a land of ghosts and gods!
The pastures here were rich, but not a single sheep nor cattle could be found. From time to time, the remains of animals who'd died for an unknown time could be found.
According to legends, the shepherds living in the Kunlun Mountains would rather let their cattle and sheep starve to death in the Gobi Desert than dare to lead them into the rich pastures in the ancient and quiet valley!
This was a valley of death, patches of wolf fur, bear's bones and even the cold steel of hunter rifles could be found here like lonely tombs, conveying a gloomy aura of death to the area!
In 1983, a group of horses from the Alar Ranch in Qinghai Province succumbed to the temptation of fat grasses in the valley because of greed and entered the Death Valley. A herder eventually took the risk and went into the valley to find the horses. After a few days, the herder did not appear, but the horse group reappeared!
Later, his body was found on a small hill. The clothes on his body were ripped, his feet were bare, his eyes were glaring straight ahead, his mouth was wide open, and the hunting rifle was still in his hands. From the looks of it, he had not died a peaceful death. The puzzling thing was that there were no scars or any traces of blunt trauma on his body. Nothing pointed to him being attacked at all. Shortly after the tragic disaster, a geological team working nearby also went into the death valley and suffered a similar fate.
There were countless such incidents, and in the hearts of the locals, this valley was like the gaping mouth of a devil, awaiting the fools to walk into it. As a result, the stories about the valley had been passed down through multiple generations, making the place a forbidden land!
At this time, in the deepest part of the valley, huge buildings sitting close together could be seen within. From the outside, the blurred figures of humans could be observed.
This was the only path to the heart of Mount Kunlun. From any other directions, even birds would find it difficult to fly through, and apes could not scale the terrain!
The entire place was wrapped in a strong magnetic field. Any communication equipment that entered it would either fail or be struck down by lightning. There were no other possibilities!
Within the mountain, 12 black-robed figures were sitting around a skull-sized purple crystal.
From time to time, streaks of pitch-black electric arcs would flash across the surface of the purple crystal and be conducted to the ground through a strange pattern on the rock pillar. Faint purple light illuminated the hall.
"The plan can begin from now, our Chinese martial arts world had been silent for too long, to a point that every random cat and dog also wants to get a share of the cake. The Thunder Cloud Crystal is almost completely expended. Without it, the Kunlun grand formation would only have a portion of its strength. Let's start from China first."
An aged voice broke the silence. It was not clear who of the 12 had spoken.
All 12 figures were cloaked in black robes, and their features were hard to distinguish. The black robes had strange dark gold patterns on it. The patterns looked like random drawings, but also seemed to contain a great mystery.
"Let's begin then. This is the name list. Since the operation has begun, let's deal with some things first. Those forces that hadn't left yet seem to really like this piece of land. Seeing that they like this place so much, we'll let them sleep here forever."
Another voice sounded out. This voice was bright and clear, like a teenage girl's.
Of the younger generation, no one knew who these 12 people were. It was to a point that no one had even heard anything about them before.
But two hundred years ago, these 12 people had already made their names. They had slain their way across Siberia, battled through Southeast Asia, and even killed the five Holy Knights of the Church! Such feats were only the tip of the iceberg for them!
The older Xiantian Lords might have heard of their legendary names, and not one of the surviving Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts from that era did not know them!
These 12 were known as the 12 Kunlun Demons to the outside world. It was not that they were Demonic Beasts, but that their temperaments were extremely unpredictable and crazy—like Demons! They could commit a huge sin against humanity in one month and in the next, they would save tens of millions of people from flood or fire!
The 12 Kunlun Devils had not bothered with the affairs of the outside world for many years now. The last time they'd appeared in the last 200 years was during the second world war. In just a single day, a third of the seemingly invincible American navy fleet which had suppressed the entire world was completely destroyed!
At that time, only the United States possessed nuclear weapons, and they were the strongest force in the world. They could rely on nuclear weapons alone to unite the whole world! But eventually, they were forcefully suppressed by the combined strength of all the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts in the world!
If the United States dared to use nuclear weapons to annex all the countries in the world and cause mass destruction to life and the planet, all the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts would move to wipe them out completely!
No matter how powerful nuclear weapons were, and no matter how much territory one conquered, they still needed enough manpower to oversee each region. With the strength of a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert, it would be a simple matter to kill these normal people.
"En, got it, I'll pass the orders down."
An effeminate voice sounded out. It wasn't clear if this person was male or female. Following that, the entire hall fell into silence again.
"Hu!"
"Just what level of cultivation have the 12 masters reached? Why do I still get the feeling like a common mortal meeting a tiger when I face them?" Liu Ying muttered to himself after a long time as he stood at the entrance and looked in at the empty underground hall.
Liu Ying was the president of the Martial Practitioners Control Department, and also a disciple of one of the 12 Kunlun Demons. After so many years, only Liu Ying and three other Vice-Presidents had broken through to the Controlled Dan realm. When he first joined as a disciple, there were over a hundred others. But today, only himself and the other three were left.
Liu Ying walked out of the underground hall and quickly sent out numerous command tokens to the various large clans and sects.
"Has it begun?!"
In the Qin Clan, Qin Rulong looked at the information in his hands and muttered to himself.
"I've been waiting for this day for a hundred years!"
Atop the peak of a small unknown mountain deep in Tibet, an old lama paused his chanting as he looked at the piece of news in his hands with a complicated expression.
"These are indeed troubled times, but it's also a good thing that they're leaving..."
An aged voice filled rang out inside the Zhongnanhai. [1] Such a large operation would naturally not escape the ears of the country's intelligence.
While they knew about this operation, they had also silently assented to it. It was also a good thing if these old monsters that'd lived for hundreds of years left. After all, no one could tell what crazy things these old monsters were capable of on the verge of their deaths!
30 years ago, there was an old Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert at the end of his lifespan who heard from an unknown place that human beings were born from of nature and their blood contained primordial Qi. And when the equivalent was large enough, it could even rejuvenate life and return one to their youth!
This kind of nonsense that was obviously flawed was treated like a straw of life that the old man on the verge of death clutched desperately onto!
That Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert was already near death's door, so he did not fear anything. He mobilized the forces of his entire clan and slaughtered people on a massive scale, forcibly creating a gigantic blood pond!
The end result was easily imagined. Every single person in that clan, from the old to the young, was also slaughtered completely with not a single person managing to escape!
As time passed, the lifespans of the other Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were also coming to an end. For them, the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang was their last hope!
This was the current state of things. No single power could block the rage of all the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts moving together!
As the sayings went, one was even willing to die in the evening if he could hear the truth in the morning!
This saying which had circulated through the world for thousands of years was being demonstrated here perfectly. Just a single Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert was capable of conducting a massacre, not to mention all the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts of the world gathered together!
Every governments in the world also hurriedly gave their support the moment they heard of this plan. Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were considered relics of the past, and did not fit in with the structures of modern society.
And it so happened that the strength that each of these relics held was strong to a ridiculous extent. Apart from nuclear weapons, even the large countries did not have any ways to deal with them!
