Chapter 247 - 246: Thunder Cloud Mountain, Ancient Yun Shang Country, Annihilated!

Chapter 247: Chapter 246: Thunder Cloud Mountain, Ancient Yun Shang Country, Annihilated!

"The descendant of the Pixiu Holy Beast, Tian Lu."

Ye Xuan spoke slowly.

"Tian Lu, you will be residing here for the time being, and you’re not allowed to roam about," Ye Xuan told Tian Lu.

"Oh." Tian Lu nodded.

After inheriting a portion of the memories, Tian Lu was very obedient to Ye Xuan’s words, dutifully staying within the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

Within the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, Tian Lu also felt a familiar scent, which made it very comfortable.

After taking a good look at Tian Lu, Li Kuangtu’s gaze fell on Ye Xuan, and he spoke slowly, "What do you plan to do about Thunder Cloud Mountain and Ancient Yun Shang Country?"

Together, Thunder Cloud Mountain and Ancient Yun Shang Country joined forces against the Emperor Immortal Sect, planting spies, deploying ancestors—it was clear they were determined to eradicate the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Unfortunately, they failed miserably.

However, if the Emperor Immortal Sect did not retaliate, it would become a laughingstock.

"Naturally, retaliate," Ye Xuan stated as a matter of course.

"May I lead the charge?" Li Kuangtu’s eyes flashed with excitement.

He quite enjoyed slaughter.

Ye Xuan shook his head, "There’s no need for such measures."

"Hmm?" Li Kuangtu was somewhat confused.

Ye Xuan did not speak; he stretched out his right hand and lightly tapped the void with his index finger.

Boom————

The next moment, within the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple, a formidable power suddenly erupted.

Then, to Li Kuangtu’s utter astonishment, that power transformed into two gigantic dark hands that each rushed toward a different direction, vanishing from sight.

Moments later, the dark hands reformed into a surge of dark power and returned to the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

They came quickly and left just as swiftly.

Li Kuangtu was dazed and uncertainly asked, "Is it over?"

"It’s over." Ye Xuan nodded.

The Lie Tian Ancestor Temple fell into silence.

Let’s turn back the clock a little.

When it came to Thunder Cloud Mountain.

Thunder Cloud Mountain was an overlord-level existence within a hundred-thousand-mile radius of the Tianqing mountain range, holding a position of great significance.

Next only to the three major cultivation Sacred Lands, it was on par with the Ancient Yun Shang Country.

The Mountain Master of Thunder Cloud Mountain specialized in Thunder Technique, and the disciples under his command were powerful practitioners of thunder.

Usually, the cultivators of Thunder Cloud Mountain were quite domineering, rarely deigning to even acknowledge the presence of other cultivators.

But at this moment, Thunder Cloud Mountain was engulfed in gloom and doom.

Inside Thunder Cloud Mountain’s council hall, the Mountain Master, along with four Supreme Elders and fourteen Elders, were all present.

Each person’s face was extremely grim.

Especially the Mountain Master of Thunder Cloud Mountain.

He was a being more powerful than Emperor Hua Wentao and Sect Master Zhou Zihuang of the Emperor Immortal Sect, but now his expression was dark and tumultuous, exuding an aura of dread.

"I believe the Elders are already aware that Yu Wenlei, Huang Nian, and Wen Lin, whom we sent to the Emperor Immortal Sect, are all dead, and the talented disciple Xi Jianfeng and others have also fallen one after the other," the Mountain Master said.

"But there is even worse news I must share."

The council hall of Thunder Cloud Mountain was heavy with silence as everyone held their breath, fists clenched, palms sweating.

Seeing the Mountain Master’s demeanor, it was feared that the severity of the situation far exceeded their imagination.

"The two ancestors..." the Thunder Cloud Mountain Mountain Master slowly stated.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.

Glancing around the hall with an expression as still as water, the Mountain Master said, "Defeated."

With these two words, the entire hall fell silent.

You could hear a pin drop.

Many Elders simply collapsed, their faces ashen.

The two ancestors had been defeated?!

Why did the Emperor Immortal Sect possess such power?!

It was beyond their belief.

The Emperor Immortal Sect only had Zhou Chaolong, after all.

How could the two ancestors join forces and still fail against a single Zhou Chaolong?

They could not understand.

But the current reality was that both ancestors had indeed been defeated.

This meant that their entire plan had utterly collapsed.

No more hope for acquiring the Great Emperor Immortal Skill, and even the two ancestors had lost.

"Mountain Master, when can we expect the return of the two ancestors?" one of the Elders finally asked after opening his mouth.

The others all looked toward the Thunder Cloud Mountain Mountain Master.

If it was only a defeat, there would always be hope for a comeback.

There was no worry about a rise from the east anew.

The Mountain Master of Thunder Cloud Mountain felt a wave of bitterness in his heart and sighed deeply, "To be honest, the two ancestors have been imprisoned by the people from the Emperor Immortal Sect."

"What?!"

This time, all the Elders in the council hall completely changed expression.

"Within the Emperor Immortal Sect, could there really be other masters? Otherwise, why would they be able to imprison the two Elders?"

Many people felt extremely puzzled.

Before they made their move, they had done quite a bit of probing.

The Emperor Immortal Sect had only one Elder, Zhou Chaolong, who although had exhibited exceedingly strong combat power previously, was actually nearing the end of his life and wouldn’t live much longer.

Under such circumstances, making a move to suppress the Emperor Immortal Sect was the best opportunity.

Yet now, they were saying that their two Elders had been imprisoned by the Emperor Immortal Sect?

"The specific details are unclear, just be prepared to be slaughtered by the Emperor Immortal Sect," said the Mountain Master of Thunder Cloud Mountain, shaking his head.

"Regardless, we must first rescue the two Elders."

Everyone became calm.

By now, complaining was useless; they had to face and resolve the issue directly.

"Given the nature of the Emperor Immortal Sect, they will definitely use the two Elders as leverage to extort a great amount of cultivation resources from us, Thunder Cloud Mountain. No matter what they demand, we’ll agree directly. Rescuing the two Elders is the top priority!"

The Mountain Master of Thunder Cloud Mountain spoke.

These words made many of the Elders’ faces extremely ugly.

Now, the Emperor Immortal Sect would likely demand more than half of Thunder Cloud Mountain’s resources.

After all, they held such a big bargaining chip in their hands.

From the previous dealings with Luotian Sacred Land and Lie Tian Heavenly Country, it was clear that the Emperor Immortal Sect would definitely demand a high price using the two Elders.

However, even though they now knew this would happen, they could only endure it.

This time, they had been utterly defeated.

Boom!

But just at that moment.

A dark hand suddenly reached out from a far distant place, aimed for the council hall, and slammed down fiercely.

A loud crash.

In an instant, the council hall was reduced to ruins.

And the Mountain Master of Thunder Cloud Mountain, as well as several Supreme Elders and other Elders, were all smashed to death.

They hadn’t even had time to react before they were killed on the spot.

Before their deaths, they were still thinking about what cultivation resources the Emperor Immortal Sect would demand.

They never imagined that the Emperor Immortal Sect would act so toughly this time, wiping them all out without hesitation.

"What’s going on?"

Thunder Cloud Mountain erupted into chaos at once.

All the disciples were shocked, and they each flew up to ascertain the situation.

"It’s over, the council hall is gone!"

This news spread instantly.

"The council hall is gone? What about the Mountain Master and the Elders?"

"What, they’re all dead?"

"Doesn’t that mean Thunder Cloud Mountain is going to be destroyed?"

"Everyone pack your things and flee! Once the people from the Emperor Immortal Sect come to kill us, we won’t be able to escape either."

Almost immediately, Thunder Cloud Mountain descended into complete chaos.

With all high-ranking members dead, the disciples could only scatter like birds and beasts.

And, numerous disciples fought each other to seize valuable items, resulting in a flurry of bloodshed.

The same thing happened in the Ancient Yun Shang Country.

The Emperor of Ancient Yun Shang Country had already awakened another Elder, Elder Liu, early on to defend the Imperial Palace, waiting for the retaliation from the Emperor Immortal Sect.

In just half a day, the Emperor had become anxious and fearful.

But for some reason, the retaliation from the Emperor Immortal Sect was not coming as expected, which made them even more anxious.

In contrast, Elder Liu was not the least bit flustered; in fact, he was very calm.

"When that guy comes, I will surely crush him and avenge my brother," said Elder Liu.

Boom!

Then, up in the heavens, a dark hand reached out from a faraway place, swung down with a slap, and descended upon the Imperial Palace of Ancient Yun Shang Country.

In that instant, the Imperial Palace of Ancient Yun Shang Country was thrown into chaos.

Elder Liu and the Emperor of Ancient Yun Shang Country, both were killed.

And with their deaths, the entire Ancient Yun Shang Country fell into civil unrest.

Powerful families seeking to take control of Ancient Yun Shang Country made their move.

Moreover, several Princes chose to break away from Ancient Yun Shang Country, declaring themselves as kings.

Some Princes also seized the opportunity to ascend to power.

Chaos had emerged.

Their minds were thrown into disarray by that unexpected slap.

Meanwhile, at the Emperor Immortal Sect, behind the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.

After quite a while.

Li Kuangtu finally said, "Ancient Yun Shang Country and Thunder Cloud Mountain are destroyed?"

Ye Xuan slightly shook his head, "We just slaughtered all of their high-level officials."

"Really?" Li Kuangtu looked puzzled.

"Wait for the news tomorrow and you’ll know," Ye Xuan said with a grin, then turned and left the Lie Tian Ancestor Temple.
