Chapter 460 - Ancestor, Bad News!
Chapter 460: Ancestor, Bad News!
Thousands of headless corpses appeared under the former residence. This wasn’t good news for the Caro Clan.
If things went wrong, the Caro Clan’s thousand years of glory would be ruined.
Caro Xianle was delighted to see that his father’s first reaction when he heard this news wasn’t shock, but panic. He had a bad feeling. From his father’s reaction, he clearly knew about this long ago!
Caro Xianle looked quite similar to his father, Caro Xiangfu. At this moment, when he saw that his father’s reaction wasn’t right, his chubby face revealed an anxious expression. “Dad! Do you know something?”
“It’s over!” Caro Xiangfu didn’t explain anything. He picked up the Demon Nurturing Pearl on the ground, picked up the jade box, and ran towards Caro Zhengyang’s house.
“Ancestor!”
Caro Xiangfu ran upstairs quickly. Because he was too flustered, he accidentally tripped on the stairs and fell. Caro Xiangfu couldn’t care less about this. He got up and continued to run upstairs. As he ran, he shouted, “Ancestor! Something bad happened!”
Without waiting for the steward to report, Caro Xiangfu rudely pushed the door open and rushed in.
In the room, Caro Zhengyang was retching while hugging a trash can.
The Demon Fetus tortured him so much that he wouldn’t stop until he vomited at least a few times a day.
At this moment, Caro Xiangfu rushed in recklessly and even witnessed him vomiting. Caro Zhengyang felt ashamed. In a fit of anger, he slapped Caro Xiangfu without thinking. This slap pushed Caro Xiangfu and smashed a mirror behind him.
“Ouch!”
Caro Xiangfu fell to the ground. The Demon Nurturing Pearl rolled along the floor to Caro Zhengyang’s feet.
Caro Zhengyang bent down and picked up the Demon Nurturing Pearl. He raised it to the spot where the sunlight was intense and shone it.
“Can this thing really sense the existence of that super demonic creature?” Caro Zhengyang expressed his doubts.
At this moment, he still didn’t know about the changes in his former residence. He was focused on how to find the super demonic creature and take out the Demon Fetus.
Caro Xiangfu held onto the wall and slowly stood up. He let out a soft hiss and waited for the pain to subside before saying, “It should be useful.” He still didn’t reveal to Caro Zhengyang that he had seen Kong Qing just now.
Caro Zhengyang snorted and strung the Demon Nurturing Pearl with a black line. He hung it on his clothes as an accessory.
After doing all of this, Caro Zhengyang looked at Caro Xiangfu coldly and asked angrily, “Why are you so flustered?”
“Ancestor, something big has happened!”
“What happened? Su Xuanye came to the door?” Other than that, Caro Zhengyang couldn’t think of anything else.
“It’s even worse than this!” Caro Xiangfu pressed his aching ribs and slowly walked to Caro Zhengyang. Smelling the sour smell of vomit, Caro Xiangfu silently stopped in his tracks to avoid getting too close to Caro Zhengyang.
“Ancestor.” Caro Xiangfu lowered his voice and said, “The Imperial Dragon City has been in heavy rain for five days. The Imperial Dragon Mountain that we once lived in collapsed!”
When he heard this, Caro Zhengyang’s expression suddenly changed, and he stood up to grab Caro Xiangfu’s body. His tall and muscular body had long been tortured by the Demon Fetus to the point that he was as thin as a match, but he was still extremely strong. He casually lifted Caro Xiangfu and brought him in front of him.
Caro Zhengyang’s face approached Caro Xiangfu. He gritted his teeth and asked, “What about the things below? Are they all out?”
Caro Xiangfu looked at Caro Zhengyang and saw that his eyes were gradually turning red. He was so frightened that he didn’t dare to move. He was afraid that if he angered him, he would be killed.
Caro Xiangfu said carefully, “I heard, I heard that after the collapse, countless corpses appeared under the Imperial Dragon Mountain. Now, the royal army and the various families are rushing to the Imperial Dragon City. Ancestor, I’m afraid that matter can’t be hidden anymore.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Caro Xiangfu was kicked out of the room by Caro Zhengyang.
Caro Xiangfu’s body flew out of the door and his back hit the wall opposite the corridor outside the door. The huge impact caused him to break through the wall.
Caro Xiangfu flew out of the house before landing on a tree.
Caro Xianle saw his father being kicked out of the house by his ancestor in a fit of anger. He couldn’t be bothered to ask further and hurriedly climbed up the tree to save his father from the tree. At this moment, the steward in charge of serving Caro Zhengyang also ran back in his car.
He didn’t look at Caro Xiangfu and went straight to Caro Zhengyang’s room.
When the steward arrived upstairs and saw the mess on the ground and the angry Prime Emperor, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and pressed his head as close to the ground as possible since he was afraid that he would anger the Prime Emperor.
Although he was afraid of the Prime Emperor, the steward still braced himself and explained his intentions. “Prime Emperor! The mountain of your former residence collapsed, and the corpses in the underground city floated up. Fu Yu’an just called and said that the alliance wants to invite you out of the mountain to the Imperial Dragon Mountain!”
Regardless of whether those thousands of dead people were killed by the Caro Clan or not, the Caro Clan wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility if they were discovered underground. As the president of the Beast Tamer Alliance, a Prime Emperor, and the ancestor of the Caro Clan, Caro Zhengyang should go to the scene to investigate the truth and accept the blame of the entire cultivation world.
Even if the prince committed a crime, he would punished like a commoner, let alone when he was just the President of the Alliance!
Caro Zhengyang’s expression was dark as he muttered in a low voice, “How can it be so coincidental?” It was as if someone had deliberately overthrown Imperial Dragon Mountain and deliberately exposed him.

The Imperial Dragon City was located in the central and northern plains of the Divine Moon Empire. The Imperial Dragon Mountain was the only tall mountain in the Imperial Dragon City. The Caro Clan had once stood on this mountain for nearly two thousand years. It was only more than a hundred years ago that under the leadership of Caro Xiangfu, the entire clan moved to the floating island.
Although the Caro Clan had already moved, the former residence of the Caro Clan, the Imperial Dragon Mountain, was still the sacred mountain in the hearts of the people of the Imperial Dragon City.
There was a temple on Imperial Dragon Mountain that worshiped Caro Pangan, the founder of the Caro Clan. He was also a god in the hearts of the people of the Central North Plains.
More than two thousand years ago, the Divine Realm Continent was in chaos and there were constant wars everywhere. A super demonic beast, the Black Mane Wolf, had once appeared in the Central North Plains. The Black Mane Wolf had done many evil things and swallowed many commoners. The commoners couldn’t stand it.
At that moment, Caro Pangan appeared.
Caro Pangan wasn’t from the Holy Spirit Continent. He was a monk from the Upper World who had come to the Holy Spirit Continent to travel. Seeing that the people of the Central North Plains were persecuted by the Black Mane Wolf and didn’t even dare to leave their homes, Caro Pangan couldn’t bear to see them suffer, so he attacked the Black Mane Wolf.
The Black Mane Wolf was a rare level 10 demon beast. Its strength was comparable to that of a Prime Master, but Caro Pangan was only a Grand Master.
Caro Pangan fought a fierce battle with the Black Mane Wolf. In the end, he sealed the Black Mane Wolf permanently in the Imperial Dragon Mountain at the cost of losing his arm. In order to prevent the Black Mane Wolf from breaking free from the seal and continuing to harm the human world, Caro Pangan stayed in the Imperial Dragon Mountain.
After hearing the legend of Caro Pangan, many Beast Tamers rushed over from afar to acknowledge him as their master.
Over time, the Caro Clan was born.
After Caro Pangan passed away, he asked his disciples to seal his body in a mud statue and place it on the top of the Imperial Dragon Mountain to suppress the Black Mane Wolf forever. Because of this, more than a hundred years ago, when Caro Xiangfu moved, he was opposed by the elders.
The elders all insisted on one principle: unless the Imperial Dragon Mountain fell, the Caro Clan would never move.
However, Caro Xiangfu still persuaded them successfully and led the Caro Clan out of their former residence and towards the Divine Sea.
Unexpectedly, Imperial Dragon Mountain really fell.
In the past, the Imperial Dragon Mountain was a tall building with a majestic aura.
The current Imperial Dragon Mountain was like a tall building that had collapsed, leaving only ruins on the ground.
When they heard that the Imperial Dragon Mountain had fallen, the citizens living in the Imperial Dragon City drove to the foot of the mountain in the rain. When they arrived, the military helicopter had already arrived and was circling in the sky.
Seeing the nearby civilians come over, Mo Yelou ordered his subordinates, “Send someone to surround the collapsed area. Don’t let the civilians approach. Be careful of a second collapse!”
“Yes!”
The soldiers quickly formed a circle and surrounded the Imperial Dragon Mountain to prevent the commoners from approaching it.
The Imperial Dragon Mountain was the sacred mountain in the hearts of the people of the Imperial Dragon City. Every year, during the grand festival, they would go to the temple on the mountain to pray to Pangan.
But their sacred mountain had fallen!
The god they believed in had also been destroyed!
An old man leaned on his walking stick and looked up at the pile of wasteland. He shouted sorrowfully, “The statue of High Monk Pangan has fallen, and the Imperial Dragon Mountain has also collapsed. This is an ominous sign! That Black Mane Wolf might break through the seal and cause calamity!”
“The Imperial Dragon Mountain has fallen. I’m afraid a disaster is imminent!”
Beatrice’s military boots stepped on the sticky soil. She walked to the old man and said with a cold expression, “Whether it’s an ominous sign or not doesn’t matter for now, but if you don’t go home and take a hot bath, you will definitely fall sick in bed.”
The old man glared at Beatrice and muttered, “You’re quite beautiful, female soldier. Why are your words so harsh?”
Beatrice sneered and said to her subordinate, “No civilians are allowed to approach the collapsed scene. Send them away!”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Beatrice said to another subordinate, “Seal the scene!”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
The national army had just sealed the scene when they saw the Yin Clan’s people arrive at the Imperial Dragon Mountain first. The people who came were Yu Huang and Ji Linyuan.
Following closely behind were Liuli Xiangsi, Liuli Luoluo, and Liuli Xiangsi’s son, Liuli Shao. After a while, Sheng Lingfeng rushed over with his son, Sheng Xiao, and his eldest disciple, Sheng Zhou.
Sheng Xiao saw that Yu Huang wasn’t holding an umbrella. She was only wearing a black cloak over her red dress. He walked behind Yu Huang silently and raised the Dragon Sword in his hand. The Dragon Sword turned into a pure black umbrella and shielded Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao from the storm.
Yu Huang looked up at Sheng Xiao and moved closer to him.
