Chapter 1279: Ninth Calamity Volume Five: Ruler of the Martial Arts World 🌌

Everyone understands that if they put in so much effort and find nothing, they would definitely be unwilling to accept it. Therefore, they will definitely come again!

Thus, many members of the Li family are ambushed on both sides of the Wind Thunder Platform, waiting for their prey! Each of them is filled with anger: as long as you dare to come, I will strip you of your skin and tendons!

Is there treasure? If there really is treasure, how could it possibly fall to you?

However, by now, the Li family has been waiting at the Wind Thunder Platform for nearly three months in this cold weather, and still there has been no sign. Everyone is starting to slack off.

Could it be that the person is not coming? Or have they discovered our actions and fled far away?

If that’s the case, finding such a person in the vast Nine Heavens would be as difficult as ascending to the sky!

Li Donghai, a fourth-tier supreme being, is the overall leader of this operation. At this moment, he looks up at the dense snowflakes in the sky, his expression somewhat worried.

The five white-robed old men beside him are the main force of this operation, five supreme beings, and also brothers of Li Donghai.

“Brother Dong, I believe that person must have received news and will not come again,” Li Nanshan said.

The few people nearby nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the experience here is absolutely unpleasant! Even supreme beings need to exert energy to resist the cold. Moreover, to avoid alarming the snake, they have not been allowed to even light a fire these days...

Isn’t this just torture?

“I haven’t considered that,” Li Donghai said softly. “The Wind Thunder Platform has been here for a hundred thousand years! Those who suspect that treasures are hidden beneath the Wind Thunder Platform are certainly not just him!”

“Even our Li family had similar suspicions back then,” Li Donghai said solemnly. “In fact, we even sent someone to investigate. We once contemplated digging beneath this Wind Thunder Platform to see what was down there.”

“What was the result?” Li Beixing asked eagerly.

“Well, the result was that the Ancestor Lord was struck by lightning when he descended to an unknown depth,” Li Donghai said with concern. “Later, we specifically sought powerful beings from the Zhuge family to check it out. They confirmed that this place is a position where heaven and earth are reversed, and the power of wind and thunder comes from above. The two peaks here illuminate each other and refuse to yield, which is why such a situation arises. It is not some heavenly materials and earthly treasures!”

“But back then, the senior Zhuge Cangtian also said that as long as there is still the power of wind and thunder, this Wind Thunder Platform cannot be destroyed! Not even by a supreme being!”

“This matter has always been a big secret of our family!”

Li Donghai said heavily, “But now… the Wind Thunder Platform is gone!”

Everyone was stunned.

Li Donghai took a deep breath, a few snowflakes swirling into his mouth as he worriedly said, “If that person used a sword to destroy the Wind Thunder Platform; then, just how high is that person’s cultivation level?”

Everyone immediately gasped! The Ancestor Lord was struck down, yet this person has severed the Wind Thunder Platform?

“If that is the case, what’s the point of our family sending us here?” Li Nanshan said. “Although this matter is a secret, the patriarch and the elders should know about it.”

“If I am not mistaken… we are the first batch on the surface… as for secretly, there must be powerful family members lying in ambush!” Li Donghai said. “So, regardless of what we do, the family will definitely clean up the mess.”

“Moreover, although the family appears to be outraged, they are actually cautious; they do not intend to become mortal enemies with this person.” Li Donghai lowered his voice. “If that person doesn’t come, that’s fine. But if he does come… we must be careful in our words and actions, and never make things so absolute. If we become sacrifices for interests… that would be too unfair.”
