2363 Disaster
Everyoneâs hearts skipped a beat.
Immediately after, the Seven Emotions Fiend Generals reacted and sneered with mocking expressions.
A Fiend General said, âAccording to what you said, Zephyr Thunder Palace is an earth-grade faction. In other words, your Palace Lordâs cultivation should be at the Perfected One realm.â
âThatâs right.â
Gu Tongyou nodded.
The Fiend General sneered, âIâm afraid you donât know the weight of the words Supreme Perfected Fiend! Supreme means that no one is his match among Perfected Fiends!â
âWhat rights does your Palace Lord of Zephyr Thunder Palace have to fight the Supreme Perfected Fiend to a draw?â
âFufu, youâre full of nonsense. Do you really think we canât see through your lies?â
âIf the Palace Lord of Zephyr Thunder Palace is such a character, why havenât I heard of him before? He isnât even on the Perfected Fiend Ranking, right?!â
The Fiend Generals sneered.
Gu Tongyou had a calm expression and was not angry. âOur Palace Lord is not from the Fiend Domain. He escaped from the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain where he was previously the Supreme Perfected Immortal.â
âMmm?â
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed!
If what Gu Tongyou said was true, then the Supreme Perfected Immortal might indeed be able to fight Yan Zui to a draw.
Heavenly Wolf pressed his hands together and suppressed the discussion. He said in a deep voice, âContinue.â
Gu Tongyou said, âAmong the commanders of the 18 Fiend Armies, apart from Supreme Perfected Fiend Yan Zui, thereâs also Fairy Purple River, whoâs ranked fourth on the Perfected Fiend Ranking, Dragon Fiend, whoâs ranked sixth, and the Fiend Saber, Li Potian, whoâs ranked seventh.â
Everyone present was shocked! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There were already four experts on the Perfected Fiend Ranking!
From this, one could infer how powerful the Palace Lord of Zephyr Thunder Palace was. Otherwise, he would not have attracted so many important figures!
âWhen the 18 Fiend Armies joined forces to attack, the Palace Lord could not hold on alone. Zephyr Thunder Palaceâs territory was devoured continuously and many cultivators died every day.â
When Gu Tongyou mentioned this matter, he said with a sorrowful expression, âIn desperation, the Palace Lord could only do his best to help us carve out a bloody path so that we could escape from the heartland. However, the Palace Lord was injured in this battle and was trapped in the main hall of Zephyr Thunder Palace.â
Gu Tongyou tried his best to describe this matter in the simplest words.
Even so, Yan Beichen could imagine the tragic battle back then!
âThere are only a few thousand cultivators left.â
Heavenly Wolf rolled his eyes. âI sympathize with your plight. However, our Tianhuang Sect is only a black-grade sect. Even if we want to, we wonât be able to save Zephyr Thunder Palace.â
âThank you for your kind intentions, Sect Master. Weâre not here to ask for your help.â
Gu Tongyou cupped his fists. âWe only hope that Tianhuang Sect can take in the thousands of cultivators outside. Theyâre all from the lower worlds and itâs not easy for them to cultivate. If we let them disperse, thereâs no way out.â
Heavenly Wolf did not respond immediately.
Ever since the establishment of the Tianhuang Sect, it was true that everyone who ascended from the lower worlds was treated equally. This was a rule set by the Martial Dao Prime Body.
However, the Martial Dao Prime Body had already died in Avici.
Furthermore, this matter involved a lot of people. It was fine to take in thousands of cultivators, but if it implicated him and the Tianhuang Sect, the gains would not make up for the losses.
The woman beside Gu Tongyou cupped her hands and said, âIâm Qiu Siluo. As long as you are willing to take them in, Sect Master, the two of us will leave immediately.â
âWhere will you go?â
Heavenly Wolf asked.
Qiu Siluo smiled and said, âThe two of us escaped from the Immortal Domain and were saved by our Palace Lord. Thatâs why we were able to gain a foothold in the Fiend Domain. We brought these people here to fulfill the Palace Lordâs wish.â
âIf those people outside have a place to settle down, the two of us will naturally return to Zephyr Thunder Palace and fight alongside the Palace Lord!â
âAlright!â
Suddenly, Yan Beichen spoke and praised.
He looked at Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo and said in a deep voice, âFellow Daoists, where is the Palace Lord of Zephyr Thunder Palace from?â
âTianhuang Mainland.â
Gu Tongyou said, âThe Palace Lord once told us that if thereâs someone from Tianhuang Mainland in Tianhuang Sect, they should have heard of his name.â
âHis real name is Feng Cantian and heâs called the Thunder Emperor in Tianhuang Mainland.â
Indeed!
Yan Beichenâs eyes lit up.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had once mentioned to him about meeting Feng Cantian in the upper world.
Therefore, the moment he heard of Zephyr Thunder Palace, he thought of the Thunder Emperor.
The sect left behind by the Thunder Emperor in Tianhuang Mainland was Zephyr Thunder Palace!
Yan Beichen said in a deep voice, âFellow Daoists, donât worry. The cultivators outside will stay in Tianhuang Sect!â
The seven Fiend Generals frowned in disgust.
Heavenly Wolf frowned as well. âBrother Yan, should we reconsider this matter?â
âThereâs no need to consider. Iâll agree to this!â
Yan Beichenâs tone was resolute as he looked at Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo before saying murderously, âFellow Daoists, Iâll accompany you guys to Zephyr Thunder Palace and fight alongside the Thunder Emperor!â
âNo!â
Heavenly Wolf rejected immediately.
He had promised the Martial Dao Prime Body that he would take care of Yan Beichenâs safety.
Yan Beichen was only a Grade 2 Heaven Immortal. If he were to head to Zephyr Thunder Palace which was in the heartland of the Fiend Domain, he would be drowned before he could cause any waves in a battle of that level!
âYan Beichen, I donât care if you have a death wish. However, donât implicate us!â
A Fiend General said coldly.
âThatâs right!â
Another person pointed to the thousands of cultivators outside the hall. âIf Tianhuang Sect takes in these lowlifes, weâll be attracting trouble. Thereâs no need for us to take the risk!â
âFurthermore, since when was it your turn to call the shots in Tianhuang Sect, Yan Beichen?!â
Yan Beichen looked at the seven Fiend Generals and said coldly, âThis is a rule set by the Sect Master back then. Everyone who ascended from the lower worlds shall be treated with equality!â
A Fiend General sneered, âOur Sect Master back then has already died in Avici. Those bullsh*t rules should have been abandoned a long time ago! The current Sect Master is Lord Heavenly Wolf!â
âSect Master, please chase these people out as soon as possible lest they bring forth destruction for us!â
The other Fiend Generals stood out and persuaded.
When Gu Tongyou saw that, the melancholy in his eyes deepened as he sighed gently.
Heavenly Wolf fell into deep thought as well.
Right now, he was already free. After all these years of operation, with the help of the Seven Emotions Fiend Generals, he had long taken complete control of Tianhuang Sect.
If he wanted to change the rules left behind by the Martial Dao Prime Body, he could have done it a long time ago.
However, he did not do that.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body fell into Avici and knew that he was going to die, he removed the seal on Heavenly Wolfâs Essence Spirit, allowing the latter to regain his freedom. Actually, from that moment on, in the depths of Heavenly Wolfâs heart, he had already acknowledged the Martial Dao Prime Body as his master.
âIf he was still alive, he would definitely take in these people.â
Suddenly, Heavenly Wolf murmured softly before taking a deep breath and making up his mind.
âDonât worry, Tianhuang Sect will take good care of the thousands of cultivators outside and settle them down so that they can integrate into Tianhuang Sect!â
Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo were delighted and bowed hurriedly in thanks.
âA mere Heaven Essence realm wolf. You truly donât know whatâs good for you!â
Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded erratically in the hall.
âYouâre willing to take in just about anyone, huh? Thereâs no need for a puny sect like your Tianhuang Sect to exist anymore!â
