Chapter 854: Wipe Them All Out
Chapter 854: Chapter 854: Wipe Them All Out Ten breaths were enough for Yuanchao to escape.
His mind was blank, unable to imagine what awaited Yuan Zhongqi.
Of course.
Yuanchao knew.
Yuan Zhongqi was definitely not going to survive.
Burning one’s life span to the extreme peak is a path of no return, and the reason he shouted before leaving was to give the other side a bit of hope.
Dying with hope is slightly better than dying in despair, even if Yuan Zhongqi knew it was false hope.
Escape.
Escape.
Escape.
This was the only thought left in Yuanchao’s mind as he stepped into teleportation channels one after another, fleeing from the Eastern Immortal Domain to the Western Immortal Domain.
Then he collapsed in the void, his body trembling uncontrollably, tears filling the corners of his eyes:
"Chongqi, Great Uncle... I’m sorry!"
It wasn’t guilt over Yuan Zhongqi’s death, but guilt over leaving Yuan Zhongqi behind and fleeing in that critical moment, instead of choosing to die with him.
Bringing the news back to the Tian Gui Tribe?
That was just a means for Yuan Zhongqi to give Yuanchao a way to escape.
Old Taotie didn’t pursue him.
He could rip open the newly closed space rift but couldn’t catch up with a Quasi-Emperor Second Level who had used hundreds of Teleportation Arrays to escape ten breaths ago.
After all, it was the Tian Gui Tribe who set up the teleportation arrays, crisscrossing in a mix of truth and falsehood, which even Taotie dared not enter lightly.
Who knows what awaits him in the formation?
So Taotie took Yuan Zhongqi’s broken corpse to the Heavenly Court, where Baize Divine General likely had follow-up arrangements.
After all, it was she who discovered the star concealing the Tian Gui Tribe’s Quasi-Emperors.
At this thought.
Old Taotie felt somewhat emotional; having a Baize was more valuable than millions of Heavenly Soldiers. This kid Xu Qingfeng really stumbled upon a treasure.
He turned his head.
Looking towards the Western Immortal Domain.
If nothing unexpected happens, the one playing with the Tian Gui Tribe’s Quasi-Emperor now should be that person, right?
...
...
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Yuanchao gasped heavily, and once his breathing stabilized, he stood up and flew off into the distance.
The Tian Gui Tribe had countless hidden operatives in the Immortal Domain, and now he was headed for the Cui Clan.
The Cui Clan of the Western Immortal Domain was skilled in fire laws; anyone cultivating fire-based divine skills couldn’t avoid this mountain.
The Cui Clan’s ’Flame Commanding Technique’ was called an Emperor Scripture that isn’t an Emperor Scripture.
Because of their mastery over fire, the Cui Clan stood at the peak of the Immortal Domain, their comprehensive strength ranking in the top two hundred Holy Lands of the Immortal Domain!
And no one knew.
The Flame Commanding Cui Clan was actually a dog raised by the Tian Gui Tribe, but this dog had never bitten anyone.
Yuanchao suppressed his aura, his figure moving ever closer to the Cui Clan.
Yet Yuanchao didn’t notice.
Behind him were three women cloaked entirely in holy light following him continuously.
Leading them was a young woman in a blue long dress, her long hair elegantly styled with a jade hairpin, her face stunning but her eyes flat and emotionless.
Barefooted.
A bell tied around her ankle.
Holding a small orange cat in her arms, she gently stroked the soft fur with her right hand, causing the cat to squint comfortably.
The other two women looked identical, with six pairs of white, translucent wings on their backs.
However, when facing the fairy-like woman in the blue dress, one sister looked timid, while the other rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Qing Yuan, you circled half the Immortal Domain just to catch a Quasi-Emperor Second Level?"
Anna couldn’t help but tease, "For something so minor, you could have left it to me."
Of course.
If you’re going to catch someone, just catch them.
Fairy Qing Yuan is the Domain Master of the Eastern Immortal Domain, and her high and mighty attitude on their turf really annoyed Anna.
"Have you reached the Nine Heavens?"
Fairy Qing Yuan, holding her pet, tilted her head.
"..." Anna.
It’s said that although the Supreme Emperor has many beauties, she particularly dislikes that Fox Coquette from Qingqiu and Fairy Qing Yuan.
These two women.
One is excessively flirtatious; the other can drive you mad with just a sentence.
"Sister..."
"Don’t worry, I’m not angry."
"Even if you are, you can’t beat me."
"..."
Anna took a deep breath and asked, "Hurry up and tell me, what’s the identity of the Quasi-Emperor we’ve been waiting for half a month?"
"Tian Gui Tribe."
"What!"
The pupils of Anna and her sister shrank as they thought of a certain possibility and hurriedly asked, "Could it be... the Cui Clan is also a pawn of the Tian Gui Tribe?"
"I’m afraid it’s not just the Cui Clan. According to Baize Divine General’s forecast, the Tian Gui Tribe may control over fifty Holy Lands, with hundreds of Quasi-Saint Grounds."
"Hundreds!?"
Anna nearly bit her tongue.
The Immortal Domain is vast.
That’s why it’s divided into four directions.
Each Immortal Domain is divided into a hundred large regions, which can then be subdivided into countless smaller regions.
But regardless of size, there are only about a thousand real Holy Lands that stand atop the Four Immortal Domains.
These thousand Holy Lands may seem like many, but they are actually quite few.
Because among them are the groups or sects where a hundred Great Emperors reside, along with those unpredictable tribes on the racial talent list.
On average, each large region can only accommodate around two or three Holy Lands.
A sect with peak Immortal Venerable cultivators can be called a Quasi-Saint Ground.
And the requirements to become a Holy Land are extremely strict, requiring more than ten peak Immortal Venerables or a Quasi-Emperor.
Anna couldn’t even imagine.
Sixteen Holy Lands led by the Purple Star Palace were destroyed by the Heavenly Court; the Fengyue Pavilion was severely weakened, yet the Tian Gui Tribe still managed such a vast influence in the Immortal Domain.
But Anna quickly shrugged it off, considering that the Great Emperor Tiangui is the First Emperor of the Immortal Domain, having such a base is rather normal.
"So, what is the Supreme Emperor planning?"
Anna stared hard at Fairy Qing Yuan, her eyes flickering as if she could already see the Immortal Domain turning into mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
"Just to clarify the names of these specific forces."
Fairy Qing Yuan pointed at Yuanchao, "He knows."
Before Anna could breathe a sigh of relief, Fairy Qing Yuan continued, "And then, eliminate them all."
"All of them?"
"All."
"..."
Anna fell silent.
She knew this had probably already been planned long ago, and the Purple Star Palace and other Holy Lands were just appetizers.
Baize Divine General, no... the Supreme Emperor!
He aims to sever all the Tian Gui Tribe’s wings within the Immortal Domain.
"The Immortal Domain is going to be in chaos," her sister whispered.
Qing Yuan said nothing, flinging out a colossal cauldron.
It seemed to whistle through the air, yet no sound emerged in the void.
When it was only three feet from Yuanchao, he finally noticed something amiss, but it was too late.
The colossal cauldron struck his head heavily.
"Ah!"
With a miserable scream, Yuanchao passed out directly.
"...Is he alright?"
Anna asked nervously, genuinely fearing that Fairy Qing Yuan had accidentally killed him with one blow.
"I held back,"
Qing Yuan said flatly, the cauldron returning with the badly injured and unconscious Yuanchao lying inside.
Without a word,
Fairy Qing Yuan turned around and left.
Anna, impulsively, asked, "To the Heavenly Court?"
"No, to Earth, to see Xu Qingfeng."
"I’m coming too!"
...
...
Earth.
Xu Lai slept for three whole days and nights.
Upon opening his eyes, he found his head resting on something soft and fragrant, a familiar scent—Ruan Tang.
Lying on Ruan Tang’s lap, Xu Lai, touched, couldn’t help but ask, "Honey, aren’t you tired from sitting so long?"
"Then let go of me,"
Ruan Tang playfully scolded, "After you drunkenly came back to the room, you held onto me and refused to let go, and I couldn’t go downstairs to greet the guests either."
"...Ahem."
Xu Lai blushed, "Guests? Who’s here?"
