C399 The Southern Wasteland Forces
All of a sudden, the young disciples finally knew that Ling Xiao was one of the honored guests that Pavilion Master had invited to the Dragon Pavilion yesterday. No wonder he was so powerful. Otherwise, how could he be treated as a honored guest by the Pavilion Master?
At the same time, they could clearly feel the meaning of Zhong Fengming saying "There is a mountain outside the mountain, there is a heaven beyond the heavens.
In the afternoon of the same day, a shocking piece of news spread across the northwest and the south.
The Giant River Sect had been destroyed by the Dragon Sea Pavilion. The Upper River Domain of Loong Taojiang had been taken over by the Dragon Sea Pavilion.
The moment the few Emperor Rank and Sect Master of the Giant River Sect were destroyed by Ling Xiao's Blue Flood Dragon, it meant that the Giant River Sect would no longer exist.
However, no one had thought that the Dragon Sea Pavilion would attack so quickly. They had even asked the king of mercenaries, Nangong Lia, to help them kill an old monster in the Giant River Sect who had been in seclusion for many years. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for the Dragon Sea Pavilion to take down the Giant River Sect.
s to find spirit herbs for survival purposes, the mercenary group would also accept some missions issued by others. As long as they had enough commission, they would be happy to accept the mission even if they were asked to kill someone. The prerequisite was that they had the ability to take the mission.
It was extremely difficult for a mercenary king like Nangong Lia to ask him to help. Sometimes, even if you could provide a sufficient reward, he might not help you.
However, this time Nangong Lia chose to help. Many people found it unbelievable. At the same time, they were thinking, "When did the Dragon Sea Pavilion get involved with the 'Fire Mercenary Group'?
While the people outside were talking, Nangong Lia, Ling Xiao, Xuan Yao and the Demon Emperor were preparing to leave the Dragon Sea Pavilion and head to the Southern Wasteland.
Loong Haitian came out with all the elders and elders in his pavilion to see them off.
This was the first time that the Dragon Sea Pavilion had received such treatment since the establishment of the pavilion.
"Master Nangong, you will have plenty of free time in the future. My pavilion will welcome you! " Loong Haitian said with a beaming face. Then, he turned to Ling Xiao and said, "Mr. Ling, I already know what happened yesterday. I'm really sorry. I will definitely punish that kid severely.
"You are too polite with the dragon Pavilion Master. That is just a small matter." Ling Xiao waved his hand and said.
"Alright, let's go," Nangong Lia said.
Ling Xiao cupped his hands at Loong Haitian and the other old men. He wanted to leave with Nangong Lia.
A sweet voice came from behind the crowd, "Brother Ling, wait a moment.
Ling Xiao didn't need to turn his head to know who the person who called out was.
Loong Ruotong separated the crowd and held a small accessory in her hand to Ling Xiao and said, "Brother Ling, wait a moment." This is my gift to you, Big Brother Ling. Thank you for saving my life.
Loong Ruotong put the item in Ling Xiao's hand and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. She turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Ling Xiao grabbed the delicate bag in his hand and turned around to leave with Nangong Lia.
...
After flying past the south of Loong Taojiang, it was the territory of the Southern Wasteland.
The area occupied by the Southern Wasteland was much larger than the northwest. However, it was mostly occupied by Spirit Beasts. What humans occupied was only one-fifth of the area.
Currently, the Southern Wasteland was divided into a total of eight major powers. They were one sect, two alliances, three clans, and four families.
The first sect was the only sect in the Southern Wasteland, the Devil Shadow Sect. Its power was spread all over the Southern Wasteland, and it was the most powerful existence in the Southern Wasteland. Almost all of its sects were focused on cultivating the dark attribute, and their actions were extremely arrogant and reckless. They were viewed by decent people as evil and crooked, and it was difficult for them to tolerate the existence of the heavens and the earth. The first sect was the only sect in the Southern Wasteland, the Devil Shadow Sect. Its power was spread all over the Southern Wasteland, and it was the strongest existence in the Southern Wasteland.
However, in the Southern Wasteland, there weren't many people who dared to make an enemy out of them.
Only the two alliances could contend against them.
The two alliances were the Beast Alliance and the Divine Dao Alliance.
The Beast Alliance was the alliance led by the Southern Desolate Tribe. Their leader was a Sixth Rank beast tamer. There were no lack of Tier 4 and Tier 5 Beast Tamers in the alliance. Their cultivation might not be particularly impressive. The number of third to fifth grade Spirit Beasts tamed by the alliance was uncountable. Their alliance leader had five Sixth Rank Spirit Beasts with him, and with that, they had become the second most powerful force in the Southern Wasteland.
The Divine Dao Alliance was a cult that promoted religion and believed in religious ceremonies.
They were the best at bewitching people, promoting pacifist beliefs, and promoting equality between commoners and warriors. Regardless of whether you were strong or not, as long as you were not firm enough, once you were touched by them, you would often become their most loyal believer. Their believers in the Southern Wasteland are no less than a million, they are the "Divine Church" in the hearts of the Southern Wasteland civilians.
The three clans refer to the Barbarian Clan, the Puppet Clan, and the Man-Eating Clan.
The Barbarian Clan was the oldest clan in the Southern Wasteland since the beginning. They had the bloodline of barbarians that were good at fighting. They were known for their 'strength'. No matter how strong you were, you could only be convinced by strength when you fell. You were the true warriors of the Barbarian Clan.
It was said that when the Barbarian King was young, he used his arm strength to lift a five thousand jin elephant and became the genius of the Barbarian Clan. Later on, he also became the king of the Barbarian Clan.
The Puppet Race was a race that could cast the Ancestor Curse of Puppets. The Ancestor Curse they cast would cause people to hallucinate, and their minds would become muddled and used by them. When the dummies were at their peak, it was said that even Imperial Rank experts would be controlled by them. From this, one could see how terrifying the dummies were.
However, the dummies had disappeared for many years. It was unknown if they still existed.
Some people said that the dummies had been destroyed by someone. Some said that the Puppet Race was only hiding in a mountain range. Some said that the dummies had moved to Central Region...
The cannibals had a cruel and ancient bloodline. They liked to eat their own kind, and their methods were terrifying and cruel.
The place where they lived was known as a forbidden zone for humans. Once they fell into it, they would definitely be dismembered, and even those at the Sovereign realm would not be able to escape.
Their race's numbers were just as rare as the Puppet Race's. Few people knew where they lived.
The four families were the directions to the four great ancient families of the Southern Wasteland.
The first family was the Tang family, a family that specialized in refining artifacts.
The Tang family had been famous for forging artifacts throughout the generations. There had been a total of three Spiritualists in the Tang family. They had led the Tang family to prosper for a period of time and stood tall in the Southern Wasteland.
Most of the Profound Artifacts in the Southern Wasteland came from the Tang family.
There was a popular saying in the Southern Wasteland, "When the Tang family makes a move, they will definitely be the best!
It could be seen how famous the weapons forged by the Tang family were.
Although the Tang family currently did not have a spiritual artifact master overseeing them, the old patriarch of the Tang family was still a high-rank Profound Artifact master. He was only one step away from becoming the fourth spiritual artifact master of the Tang family. They relied on this to occupy the top position of the four great families.
The second great family of the Southern Wasteland was the Xin family.
The Xin family was similar to the Tang family, but the Xin family was a family of alchemists. They had once been glorious, but unfortunately, the number of alchemists in the younger generation was limited. No one had ever reached the Fifth Stage Realm. Although there were four Medicine Refining Master of Fourth Grade masters in the family, there were four Medicine Refining Master of Fourth Grade masters in the family. In the end, they could only be ranked second.
The third and fourth families were the Nangong and Ouyang family.
These two families didn't have the advantages of the first two families, but they relied on the mineral resources discovered by their ancestors to mine minerals and sell them as their primary means of earning money, allowing them to occupy the third and fourth positions.
Moreover, the Nangong family and the Ouyang family's ancestors were close friends, and the two families had always been on good terms with each other. This was how the two families managed to survive. Otherwise, they would have long been devoured by the other powers.
Apart from the three families and four families, there were also countless other big and small families. Although they weren't as terrifying as these big families, they were still difficult to deal with.
Two hundred years ago, the Devil Shadow Sect, one of the eight major powers of the southern desolate region, attempted to invade the north-western region, but was besieged by many sects in the north-western region. After that, they had been holed up for many years. It was said that their internal structure had been torn apart, and they were not united at all. On the other hand, the Beast Alliance rarely expanded their territory. Currently, the Divine Dao Alliance was the most powerful one. Their religious approach had bewitched many people, followed by the Barbarian Clan. They had always inherited the bloodline of 'strength', which was in line with the pure bloodline of the Southern Wasteland. As for the dummies, they had disappeared for a long time, while the cannibals appeared and disappeared unpredictably. The four great families were also doing their own thing, guarding their own interests.
In the great Southern Wasteland, there was no standard division of regions. The great powers were all suspicious of each other, and it was difficult for them to reach a consensus. This caused many places to run amok, rob caravans, and occupy mountains as kings.
Apart from this, the Southern Wasteland was the most primitive place where Spirit Beasts lived, and it was located. Four fifths of the south desolate region, so it could be seen how many precious and precious strange beasts existed within it.
Quite a few Spirit Beasts in the periphery would occasionally attack some villages or tribes.
If one wanted to survive on this land, without some common sense of survival and some strength, it would be hard for one to take a single step forward.
Ten thousand years ago, a glorious era had once appeared in the Southern Wasteland.
At that time, there weren't many different powers. There were only the overlords of the four families, namely the Venomous Insect Clan, the Beast Clan, the Puppet Family, and the Barbarian Clan. Among these four families, the Venomous Insect Clan was the most respected.
The history of the Venomous Insect Clan was much longer and more mysterious than the other three families. It was said that they had lived in this hot land since the beginning of the human race.
They fed on Gu, Gu, and controlled Gu to make a living.
The people of the Venomous Insect Clan were famous for being united and friendly, but their actions were different from ordinary people. They were uncomfortable with the people of the world. Once they could not be friends with them, they would turn hostile and become enemies.
There was once a saying in the Southern Wasteland, "It's better to provoke a savage beast than to offend the Venomous Insect Clan." This clearly showed how terrifying the deterrence ability of the Venomous Insect Clan was.
It was just that the once powerful Venomous Insect Clan was killed by the joint efforts of the Central Region's major sects more than ten thousand years ago, destroying their foundation and annihilating their race.
From then on, the Venomous Insect Clan disappeared from the Southern Wasteland.
Only a small portion of the people of the Venomous Insect Clan lived in the northwest, occupying the bustling life force of the current Venomous Insect Sacrifice City. However, the people of the Venomous Insect Clan there no longer showed the former glory of the Venomous Insect Clan.
Now that the Venomous Insect Clan had become history, the Venomous Insect City that they had built still existed. However, it had become a forbidden area in the Southern Wasteland. Many people wanted to enter the Venomous Insect City and occupy the land as their king, but in the end, all of them died for no reason.
Some people said that it was because the Venomous Insect King of the Venomous Insect Clan was still living there. Anyone who wasn't a member of the Venomous Insect Clan would be killed. Some people said that it was the curse of the Venomous Insect Clan, and those who were not from the Venomous Insect Clan would die if they forcefully occupied this place.
Although the Venomous Insect Clan had disappeared, the Venomous Insect City was still the same. The Venomous Insect Clan's reputation was still the same.
Part of the information regarding the Southern Wasteland was mentioned by Xuan Yao, and the other part was explained by Nangong Lia.
The group had left the Dragon Sea Pavilion and arrived at the Iron Reining Tribe, which was one of the first barbarian tribes in the Southern Wasteland.
