Chapter 1987 Heavenly King"s Gathering
In the northeast of the Crimson Radiance Sect, a towering mountain towered amidst the vast expanse of ice and snow.
What was strange was that in this bone chilling area, the lake did not freeze. The lake"s water was clear and pure, and was actually warm and harmonious, as water vapor continued to rise, condensing in the air.
Looking from afar, it seemed as if there was a layer of blurry round cover, enveloping the entire summit within.
Whoosh.
An almost inaudible sound of something tearing through the air suddenly sounded out.
In the western horizon, three figures flew over as if they were flying.
In an instant, the three of them floated to the edge of the summit. One was a white-haired old man with a very st.u.r.dy body, wearing a yellow robe; one was a girl dressed in green who looked like a flower; the other was a middle-aged man, handsome and refined.
However, whether it was the yellow-robed old man, the green-clothed young girl, or the middle-aged man, the aura that faintly seeped out from their bodies were all extremely tyrannical.
"It should be here." After a short moment, the three exchanged glances, and then the yellow-robed elder couldn"t help but laugh.
"That"s right."
The girl in the green dress smiled sweetly as she glanced at her surroundings, "This place is quite lively. The three of us have arrived rather late."
"It might not be useful to come early, but it might not be useless to come late either."
The middle-aged man laughed, "The problem is not that sooner or later, but rather with our own methods. Elders, let"s find a place to rest first."
"Sure."
The yellow-robed old man and the green-clothed young girl both nodded.
In the next moment, the three figures flew away at an extremely shocking speed, and in an instant, they disappeared amidst the boundless ice and snow.
At the foot of a mountain range that was tens of kilometers away from the snowy peak, two figures were sitting cross-legged in a brightly lit ice cave.
These two people were the "Asura"s High Sect" Elders, Sandalwood Bell and Tao You.
The two of them had been in this place for almost ten years. During these ten years, cultivators would occasionally appear in this area and settle down just like them.
With their cultivation base at such a level, it was basically impossible for them to hide anything.
Because of this, Tan Zhong, Tao You, and the other cultivators all knew about each other"s existence. However, they didn"t meet or interfere with each other, so they had a tacit understanding with each other.
However, everyone knew that this mutual understanding would be broken one day.
And now, it was the day that they broke their tacit understanding, getting closer and closer.
"Including us, this is already the forty-fifth." Sandalwood frowned.
"Yeah, some of them are old acquaintances."
Tao You couldn"t help but sigh.
Looking at each other, both Tan Zhong and Tao You had a headache. It was no wonder they were like this, those were not ordinary Upper Sky Kings, but Upper Peak Heavenly Kings like them, and also the sects that the Upper Peak Heavenly Kings came from, they were not any weaker than the "Shura Celestial Sect".
There was only one treasure, but there were more than forty of them at the peak of the Heavenly King Stage.
Once that treasure appeared, an intense battle would definitely occur. Since there was going to be a battle, there would be casualties. When the time came, who knew how many would survive?
If the other peak stage Heavenly Kings sensed that the situation was not good, they would still have the chance to escape.
However, they were unable to do so. Ten years ago, they had already become the puppets and servants of someone else. Today, the two of them were unable to control themselves. When the battle started, even if they were given the order to kill their opponents, they wouldn"t have any other choice but to follow the orders.
Over the past ten years, the two of them had regretted it countless times.
If they had not tried to find trouble with that person back then, perhaps they would still be as free as the other Peak Heavenly Kings who had appeared here.
It was a pity that it was useless no matter how much he regretted now that things had reached such a stage.
"Send the news back!" Tao You subconsciously said.
"Alright!"
Sandalwood nodded with a wry smile.
However, before Sandalwood could take action, a voice suddenly echoed in the depths of their souls, "There"s no need. I"m already here."
In a split second, a figure appeared in their line of sight. It was tall and straight with a jade-like face and a faint smile on his lips. It was Tang Huan.
With a cold heart, both of them quickly shot up into the air.
Just like ten years ago, they had no idea how Tang Huan had appeared. Even after she had appeared, they could not feel any aura from his body. If they hadn"t seen it with their own eyes, even if they had pushed their minds to the limits, they would not have known that there was such a person standing before them.
In their opinion, this was Tang Huan"s most terrifying move.
With this method, he could silently get close to any cultivator. If he wanted to sneak an attack, even a peak Heavenly King would not be able to escape. With a single attack, he would most likely be severely injured by his sneak attack. Moreover, ten years later, he would definitely become much more powerful than before.
Of course, this wasn"t because Tan Zhong and Tao You discovered something, but because of their intuition.
"Excluding you guys, that"s the forty-three peak-level Heavenly Kings that have been here for the past eighteen days. It"s just as you guys had guessed." Tang Huan waved at the two who were about to bow and greet him. Then, she sat down inside the ice cave with a smile and said, "Those three just now, should be the last three, right?"
"For the time being, it"s hard to say."
After some thought, sandalwood Zhong shook his head and said, "The forty-three Peak Heavenly Kings who have come are from the fifteen powerful sects. Those sects were respectively located in fifteen Heaven Realms in the middle of the eighteenth day. If you include our Asura"s upper sect, there are sixteen Heaven Realms that have already arrived, there are still two Heaven Realms left. There are also powerful sects in the two Heaven Realms, so there might be people coming here as well. "
"There"s no harm in having a few more people."
Tang Huan slightly nodded her head when she heard this, and then laughed lightly, and said slowly, "If they were sensible, they might still be able to become my puppets or servants like you, and then return to their homes in eighteen days. If not, this Heaven of the Crimson Light would have definitely become their burial ground."
With a slight pause, Tang Huan said with a smile, "Now, the two of you will go directly to the peak to guard it. Bring this along." Following that, the "Myriad Sword Heavenly Diagram" appeared in front of Tang Huan.
"Yes."
The two of them looked at the scroll that was unfurling. Although they had their suspicions, they did not ask any further, but after they replied respectfully, Tang Huan"s figure had already disappeared from their sights. She turned into a black stream of light and entered the mountain and river painting that was unfurled.
The scroll then retracted, transforming back into that small scroll.
Sandalwood and Tao You exchanged a surprised look before reaching out with their hands to grab the scroll in their hands …
