2363 Disaster



Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

Immediately after, the Seven Emotions Fiend Generals reacted and sneered with mocking expressions.

A Fiend General said, "According to what you said, Zephyr Thunder Palace is an earth-grade faction. In other words, your Palace Lord's cultivation should be at the Perfected One realm."

"That's right."

Gu Tongyou nodded.

The Fiend General sneered, "I'm afraid you don't know the weight of the words Supreme Perfected Fiend! Supreme means that no one is his match among Perfected Fiends!"

"What rights does your Palace Lord of Zephyr Thunder Palace have to fight the Supreme Perfected Fiend to a draw?"

"Fufu, you're full of nonsense. Do you really think we can't see through your lies?"

"If the Palace Lord of Zephyr Thunder Palace is such a character, why haven't I heard of him before? He isn't even on the Perfected Fiend Ranking, right?!"

The Fiend Generals sneered.

Gu Tongyou had a calm expression and was not angry. "Our Palace Lord is not from the Fiend Domain. He escaped from the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain where he was previously the Supreme Perfected Immortal."

"Mmm?"

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, "Continue."

Gu Tongyou said, "Among the commanders of the 18 Fiend Armies, apart from Supreme Perfected Fiend Yan Zui, there's also Fairy Purple River, who's ranked fourth on the Perfected Fiend Ranking, Dragon Fiend, who's ranked sixth, and the Fiend Saber, Li Potian, who's ranked seventh."

Everyone present was shocked!

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!

"When the 18 Fiend Armies joined forces to attack, the Palace Lord could not hold on alone. Zephyr Thunder Palace's territory was devoured continuously and many cultivators died every day."

When Gu Tongyou mentioned this matter, he said with a sorrowful expression, "In 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."

Gu Tongyou tried his best to describe this matter in the simplest words.

Even so, Yan Beichen could imagine the tragic battle back then!

Gu Tongyou said, "There were originally more than a hundred thousand cultivators during our escape. However, many of them dispersed on the way and some were chased to death."

"There are only a few thousand cultivators left."

Heavenly Wolf rolled his eyes. "I sympathize with your plight. However, our Tianhuang Sect is only a black-grade sect. Even if we want to, we won't be able to save Zephyr Thunder Palace."

"Thank you for your kind intentions, Sect Master. We're not here to ask for your help."

Gu Tongyou cupped his fists. "We only hope that Tianhuang Sect can take in the thousands of cultivators outside. They're all from the lower worlds and it's not easy for them to cultivate. If we let them disperse, there's no way out."

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, "I'm Qiu Siluo. As long as you are willing to take them in, Sect Master, the two of us will leave immediately."

"Where will you go?"

Heavenly Wolf asked.

Qiu Siluo smiled and said, "The two of us escaped from the Immortal Domain and were saved by our Palace Lord. That's why we were able to gain a foothold in the Fiend Domain. We brought these people here to fulfill the Palace Lord's wish."

"If 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!"

"Alright!"

Suddenly, Yan Beichen spoke and praised.

He looked at Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoists, where is the Palace Lord of Zephyr Thunder Palace from?"

"Tianhuang Mainland."

Gu Tongyou said, "The Palace Lord once told us that if there's someone from Tianhuang Mainland in Tianhuang Sect, they should have heard of his name."

"His real name is Feng Cantian and he's called the Thunder Emperor in Tianhuang Mainland."

Indeed!

Yan Beichen's 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, "Fellow Daoists, don't worry. The cultivators outside will stay in Tianhuang Sect!"

The seven Fiend Generals frowned in disgust.

Heavenly Wolf frowned as well. "Brother Yan, should we reconsider this matter?"

"There's no need to consider. I'll agree to this!"

Yan Beichen's tone was resolute as he looked at Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo before saying murderously, "Fellow Daoists, I'll accompany you guys to Zephyr Thunder Palace and fight alongside the Thunder Emperor!"

"No!"

Heavenly Wolf rejected immediately.

He had promised the Martial Dao Prime Body that he would take care of Yan Beichen's 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!

"Yan Beichen, I don't care if you have a death wish. However, don't implicate us!"

A Fiend General said coldly.

"That's right!"

Another person pointed to the thousands of cultivators outside the hall. "If Tianhuang Sect takes in these lowlifes, we'll be attracting trouble. There's no need for us to take the risk!"

"Furthermore, since when was it your turn to call the shots in Tianhuang Sect, Yan Beichen?!"

Yan Beichen looked at the seven Fiend Generals and said coldly, "This is a rule set by the Sect Master back then. Everyone who ascended from the lower worlds shall be treated with equality!"

A Fiend General sneered, "Our 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!"

"Sect Master, please chase these people out as soon as possible lest they bring forth destruction for us!"

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 Wolf's Essence Spirit, allowing the latter to regain his freedom. Actually, from that moment on, in the depths of Heavenly Wolf's heart, he had already acknowledged the Martial Dao Prime Body as his master.

"If he was still alive, he would definitely take in these people."

Suddenly, Heavenly Wolf murmured softly before taking a deep breath and making up his mind.

"Don't 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!"

Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo were delighted and bowed hurriedly in thanks.

"A mere Heaven Essence realm wolf. You truly don't know what's good for you!"

Suddenly, a sinister voice sounded erratically in the hall.

"You're willing to take in just about anyone, huh? There's no need for a puny sect like your Tianhuang Sect to exist anymore!"
