Chapter 1110: Gathering of Martial Experts
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Boom!
In Evil Thearch City, a huge explosion could be heard inside the She Castle. It was followed by the rupture of a castle, the masonry from its four walls flying everywhere. The entire castle had collapsed and generated a wave of dirt and dust, alarming everyone in the Evil Thearch Castle.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Countless martial experts from the She Clan flew out from the castle, their faces changed as if about to face a formidable enemy. The castle that had collapsed was the biggest one in the backyard and was the one the Evil Thearch was residing in. The Evil Thearch was inside; who dared to attack that castle? Could it be that a world-cla.s.s martial expert had come killing?
What astounded the Evil Emperor and countless She Clan DemiG.o.d was—their divine senses had scanned the surroundings and did not find any enemies; they could only detect the Evil Thearch’s presence in the ruins. He was being buried alive in the castle, but he had activated his divine s.h.i.+eld. He was sitting down inside, his sinister eyes filled with rage.
“Please calm down, Clan Head. We are at fault.”
Many people quickly understood that they were not under attack; the Evil Thearch had destroyed his own castle in a fit of rage. Seeing the Evil Thearch so angry, everyone in the Evil Thearch Castle was fl.u.s.tered. In recent times, the Evil Thearch had rarely been so mad.
“Hmph!”
The Evil Thearch heavily snorted as he flew out from the ruins. The masonry near him was reduced to a fine powder. He stood proudly in mid-air, his ash-white hair dancing about as his elegant black robe with gold linings also s.h.i.+mmered. His gaze looked towards the east and roared, “Jiang Yi. I swear to kill you! I swear to kill you!”
“Jiang Yi?”
The Evil Emperor and many of the great consecrators and elders were confused. Jiang Yi had vanished for almost three years. How had this person offended the Evil Thearch? Could something have happened?
“Father, what had happened?” No one else dared to ask much; the Evil Emperor paused a while before asking.
The Evil Thearch did not reply to the Evil Emperor but growled and said, “Someone, come! Send word to Wu Shang. Tell him that Jiang Yi is inside the Mystic Divine Palace, and if Wu Shang wants revenge, he should head over immediately.”
“Jiang Yi had appeared inside the Mystic Divine Palace?”
Many people were dazed for a moment. Why did Jiang Yi’s presence in the Mystic Divine Palace enrage the Evil Thearch? The Evil Emperor paused again and suddenly thought of something. He cried out in alarm and asked, “Father, has something happened to Fei’er?”
“Fei’er is dead!”
The Evil Thearch closed his eyes as he sighed with anguish. Although this grandson of his had many flaws, he had something very special; he never gave up and got stronger with each setback. Every time after facing a setback, he would not be discouraged or dispirited but would have some sort of breakthrough time after time instead. This was something similar to the Evil Thearch’s character back in the days. Although the Evil Thearch did not say it out loud, he actually loved this grandson the most.
“Fei’er!”
The Evil Emperor had always looked very young like a forty-odd-year-old person, just in his prime. At this moment, he actually felt dizzy and faint. She Fei was a son that he loved dearly. The most important thing was that She Fei had just been made the young clan head; the entire clan had just received the news. Now that he had suddenly died, this was a heavy blow to the She Clan.
He shuddered and almost couldn’t stand properly and forgot himself. However, as the Family Head of the She Clan, he could not fall down. He could only hide his sorrow and anger in his heart as he took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, “Father, please permit me to bring men to Mystic Divine Mountain. If I do not kill Jiang Yi, I will never come back.”
“No!”
The Evil Thearch dismissed that suggestion with a wave of his hand. He coldly said, “You will hold the fort here. Old Six and ten others will follow me to Mystic Divine Mountain. I have not left this place for so many years. Many outsiders seem to have forgotten how powerful I am. The Bloodied Hands Butcher; no blood, no retreat!”
“No blood, no retreat!”
An elder waved his hand, and countless She Clan martial experts repeated the slogan. Ten powerful DemiG.o.ds transformed into rays of rainbows and flew to the Evil Thearch’s back, full of murderous energy. These were men who had killed their way alongside the Evil Thearch back in the days. The Evil Thearch also indeed had the name Bloodied Hands Butcher. Every time he took action, blood would definitely be spilled. The number of martial experts and clans in the East Imperial Continent that have been killed by the Evil Thearch was also uncountable; many from the older generation that heard the Evil Thearch’s name would shudder with fear.
“Report!”
A consecrator flew towards the group, genuflected, cupped his hands, and said, “The Wu Clan had sent a message. The North Thearch is already on his way. I have also received news that the Sword Thearch, Beast Thearch, Yin Thearch, Xuan Thearch, Sonar Thearch, and company were all rus.h.i.+ng towards Mystic Divine Mountain now.”
“So many old friends are all going? Then I really must go and take a look.”
The Evil Thearch nodded as he flew to the city plaza in the city. He waved his hand and said, “Old Six, let’s go and meet our old friends. As well as that young raved lad that dared to destroy my phantom image.”
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
The ten old formidable consecrators transformed into shadows and followed the Evil Thearch. Their auras combined were like a dark cloud floating by. That amount of pressure made the citizens of the Evil Thearch City feel as if heaven was about to come cras.h.i.+ng down.
Buzz!
A huge Teleportation Formation lit up as the Evil Thearch and company vanished within it. Many people in the city plaza had not even been able to react in time. After they realized it was the Evil Thearch and his men, everyone was so afraid that they knelt down, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.
The Evil Thearch that had remained inside his castle for so many years had emerged once again, bringing with him ten formidable DemiG.o.ds. It seemed like something big was about to happen; the East Imperial Continent was about to be bathed in blood again.
…
“The North Thearch, Sword Thearch, Beast Thearch, Yin Thearch, Xuan Thearch, and Sonar Thearch are all here? Even the Evil Thearch is on his way?”
The Battle Thearch still stood on the wall of the Mystic Thearch City. What was strange was that the surrounding guards as well as people in the city all pretended not to be able to see the Battle Thearch and the DemiG.o.ds accompanying him; no one was looking this way. The Battle Thearch had just heard the report and had asked his question, his brows narrowed.
“To reply to the Clan Head, yes, they are already here. The Yin Thearch should be here very soon, too.”
An old consecrator nodded his head and suddenly thought of something and said, “According to our sources, the Buddha Thearch had not taken action; the Night Empress is also not here. Who knows if they are hiding themselves and have already arrived?”
“Do not need to bother with that old thing Buddha Thearch.”
The Battle Thearch waved his hand dismissively as his gaze looked towards the south and said, “The Night… this b***h actually is not here to join in the fun? Didn’t she love to show off on occasions like this? Her absence is rather strange.”
Among the eight Thearchs, one Empress and a pseudo-Thearch—besides the Buddha Thearch and the Night Clan Head, everyone else had come!
The Battle Thearch was not in the slightest surprised. As the Mystic Divine Palace had resurfaced again, it would be strange if they didn’t come. Although many were in seclusion, it was highly probable that a disciple from the Nine Thearch Clans would obtain the Mystic Divine Palace. However, everyone was coveting the Mystic Divine Palace. If it wasn’t taken by one of their own disciples, each of them would definitely fight over it if the opportunity arose. If it was obtained by their own disciple, then they were naturally here to protect it from being stolen.
Taking ten thousand steps back—if an outsider had taken it, all of them would vie over the Mystic Divine Palace. It was something that only the Nine Thearch Clans could receive; whoever else managed to get it must die!
The Mystic Divine Palace was the number one treasure in the world. Whichever clan managed to obtain it, that clan’s power would definitely grow by leaps and bounds; taking the lead and commanding the entire continent would not be a problem. There were many mystic realms in the Mystic Divine Palace that could incessantly grow the strength of the clan’s disciples; after tens or hundreds of years, how unbelievably strong would the clan that had obtained the Mystic Divine Palace be? No one could even dare fathom.
Furthermore, there were also two cardinal treasures in the Mystic Divine Palace that made the Nine Thearch palpitate with excitement. Although the Battle Thearch had said—whoever could get the Mystic Divine Palace would forever be a friend of the Zhan Clan, he was actually trying to retreat for the sake of advancing; whether he actually had desire on the two cardinal treasures or not, only he would know.
Buzz!
An immense glow lit up inside the city. There was also a commotion going on in the city plaza. The Battle Thearch turned his face as he smiled lightly and said, “A friend is here. Let’s go and meet him. It has been a long time since the Mystic Thearch City was so lively; it would soon become even more so.”
