Chapter 778: Ao Firestone, You're Still Alive?_2
```
The Immortal Origin Holy Land has always had a very favorable impression amongst the cosmic upper echelon of Super Warriors, primarily due to the extremely powerful and influential impression it had given off in the past. If they intended to eradicate a power, they would simply take action themselves.
Because of this, Ao Firestone didn't immediately consider the possibility that this was a conspiracy by the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
"Despicable?"
Yun Firestone was at a loss for words.
When it came down to it, if his Firestone Family and other families were plotting against the Immortal Origin Holy Land, wouldn't that be considered despicable?
Was it only allowed for them to be despicable and not for the Immortal Origin Holy Land?
"The Immortal Origin Holy Land of today is not the same as the one from thousands of years ago. Whether the top Super Warriors of the Immortal Origin Holy Land want to scheme against us, or Chu Lee intends to scheme against that Lin Yun, we can no longer view the Immortal Origin Holy Land with the same old impressions," Yun Firestone said after a silent moment, his words slowly spoken.
"Since you, Meteor Ancestor, thought of the possibility that this could be their conspiracy, why did you still agree to the transaction with Chu Lee?" Having thought back on Wei Firestone's fall in the attack by Lin Yun and his own near-death experience, Ao Firestone felt a deep bitterness and asked again.
This time, the Firestone Family had lost face in the entire cosmos, and his own dignity, Ao Firestone, had been severely damaged. With the fall of Wei Firestone, their family had suffered too great a loss.
"Initially, I didn't expect the situation to become so serious, and naturally didn't anticipate that this might be a scheme of the Immortal Origin Holy Land..." Yun Firestone, at a loss for words again, shook his head as he spoke.
If it were just Ao Firestone taking action, could he have expected to think of this?
Ao Firestone fell silent; he quickly realized the crux of the problem.
Indeed, who would have thought that their involvement in this matter would lead to such huge losses?
If they had known it would turn out this way, they never would have agreed to the trade with Chu Lee.
"The God Devouring Knife is not a big concern, but the loss of the Devil Sound Bell is truly regrettable. However, it doesn't matter. Once we obtain that divine artifact... the Devil Sound Bell will be inconsequential..." Yun Firestone's eyes flickered with a gleam of light as he spoke softly.
When he thought of that divine artifact, his heart surged with excitement.
That artifact could influence the thinking of Saints.
Compared to the Devil Sound Bell, which at its strongest could only affect the thinking of fourth-level Super Warriors, it was naturally several levels more powerful.
That artifact was also the confidence they had to harbor thoughts against the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
They had estimated that normally, it would be very difficult for two or three Saints to kill another Saint.
But with that artifact, when the battle breaks out and they activate it, the probability of two Saints killing another Saint becomes very high.
Even three Saints allied together could kill two Saints.
At that time, when facing the Saints of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, as long as the latter doesn't unleash too many at once, their chances of ultimate victory would be very high.
"That divine artifact... when can we obtain it?"
Upon hearing Yun Firestone's words, Ao Firestone's eyes lit up, pressing for an answer.
Clearly, he too was aware of that divine artifact.
"Soon, it could be as soon as ten days to half a month, or as long as three to five years. But according to our estimates, it shouldn't take more than ten years..." Yun Firestone nodded slightly as he responded.
Concerning the timeline, he wasn't in a rush. He thought that since many of the Saints from the Immortal Origin Holy Land had left this universe, the longer time passed, the greater the likelihood that the Saints who hadn't left would also depart from this universe.
Originally, even if they obtained that divine artifact, he hadn't planned to take action immediately; it would be best to wait for a hundred and eighty thousand years.
```
He was indeed very wary of the prestige of the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
However, when he thought of the message that Chu Lee had sent him, his heart began to beat anxiously. If that message was true, they couldn't delay for too long. Otherwise, they might not have enough time to make a move against the Immortal Origin Holy Land.
"Immortal Origin Holy Land..."
Thinking about the Immortal Origin Holy Land, Yun Firestone felt that familiar stirring in his heart again.
Thousands of years ago, he had visited the Immortal Origin Holy Land and it was only after listening to the sermons of many saints there that he managed to break through to the realm of saints.
Immortal Origin Holy Land... Such an ordinary place... could actually give rise to so many Super Warriors...
He had always suspected that the Immortal Origin Holy Land might hold a great secret!
If they could control that secret, their own strength might greatly advance, and their family might undergo a qualitative leap from then on!
This thought wasn't exclusive to him!
That's why they harbored the idea of targeting the Immortal Origin Holy Land!
Of course, if the First Saint of the Immortal Origin Holy Land hadn't left this world, and if so many saintly powerhouses hadn't left this world, they wouldn't dare to target the Immortal Origin Holy Land but would choose to make friendly relations instead!
So... the information about the saints of Immortal Origin Holy Land... must be confirmed...
"Buzz——"
Just as Yun Firestone was pondering this, a communication treasure he carried started to vibrate.
"Hmm?"
Yun Firestone's eyebrows twitched as he waved his hand to activate the communication treasure.
There weren't many people who could contact him through this communication treasure; each one was a major figure in the cosmos.
The next moment, an image appeared before his eyes.
"Master Lee?"
Yun Firestone's pupils narrowed slightly as he said in a deep voice.
The person in the image was Chu Lee, who had previously made a deal with him. At this moment, Chu Lee was accelerating through space with rapid teleportation, his energy extremely chaotic.
"Meteor Saint, I can't watch the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition from where I am. Can you see it from your side? Do you know what's happening there?" Chu Lee spoke hurriedly in the image.
Upon witnessing the terrifying strength of Lin Yun and his companions, who nearly managed to slay Wei Firestone and Ao Firestone, he was immensely shocked and thrown into panic. He was afraid that before Wei Firestone and Ao Firestone fell, they would reveal his deal with Yun Firestone.
Then, Lin Yun would definitely turn his wrath upon him and his own strength would not be enough to withstand the attack of Lin Yun's group.
Therefore, he immediately started to flee rapidly, and he dared not pause along the way, fearing that after Lin Yun's group killed Wei Firestone and Ao Firestone, they would catch up to him.
"Hmm? Ao Firestone? You're still alive?"
Just as Chu Lee's voice fell, he suddenly spotted Ao Firestone beside Yun Firestone and couldn't help blurting out, caught by surprise.
Under those circumstances, he had assumed Ao Firestone and Wei Firestone were almost certainly dead, so seeing Ao Firestone alive was naturally shocking.
If Ao Firestone was still alive, what happened to Wei Firestone?
More importantly, how did Ao Firestone survive? Could it be that Ao Firestone had exposed his deal with the Meteor Saint to divert Lin Yun's anger, and that's how he escaped?
And now, were Lin Yun and his companions chasing him?
Thinking this way, Chu Lee became even more panicked and eager to get updates from the scene of the Heavenly Principle Fruit competition.
On the other side, just after Ao Firestone had heard the guesses of Meteor Ancestor about the deal between him and Chu Lee potentially being a conspiracy of the Immortal Origin Holy Land, he then saw that Chu Lee was contacting Meteor Ancestor and was frowning as he wondered what exactly was going on with Chu Lee.
At that moment, when he heard Chu Lee's astonished words, his face immediately darkened.
