When the voice sounded, it was still far away.
By the time the final word was said, a few figures had already arrived and passed by the million-strong fiend army, heading towards Zephyr Thunder Palace.
"Who's there?!"
A few Perfected Fiend experts stood out and shouted.
"Let them come."
Yan Zui waved it off gently and looked at the intruders calmly.
Among them, there was a man and a woman. They were originally from Zephyr Thunder Palace and had already escaped. Now, they had returned.
The remaining black-robed man and young monk were only low-level Heaven Immortals and were of no threat.
Only the purple-robed man with a silver mask riding on the Moon Devouring Heavenly Wolf looked unfathomable and his cultivation realm could not be determined.
"Why have you guys returned?"
Feng Cantian looked at Gu Tongyou and Qiu Siluo and asked with a frown.
"Palace Lord, we… found a few helpers to…"
Qiu Siluo glanced at the Martial Dao Prime Body and the others. She felt guilty and her voice turned softer and softer.
Including Heavenly Wolf, there were only six of them. However, the difference between them and the million-strong fiend army was way too great!
Feng Cantian's gaze swept past the Martial Dao Prime Body, Yan Beichen and Ming Zhen. He sighed internally—this was nonsense.
Today, not only would he die, they would also lose their lives for nothing.
"Senior Thunder Emperor!"
Yan Beichen withdrew his Ji Du Saber and held it horizontally in front of his chest, saying in a deep voice, "I'm Yan Beichen and I'm also from Tianhuang Mainland. I'm here today to fight shoulder to shoulder with you!"
"I'm Ming Zhen from Tianhuang Mainland. I'm willing to fight alongside you, Thunder Emperor!"
Ming Zhen held a string of prayer beads in his left hand and the Fiend Vanquishing Staff left behind by Emperor Ananda in his right. He had a calm and fearless expression.
"So, you're from Tianhuang Mainland as well!"
Feng Cantian felt regret but emotional at the same time as he clenched his fists. "Good, good, good! To think that I would be able to join forces with people from Tianhuang Mainland in the upper world. I can die without regrets! Today, we'll give it our all and kill to our hearts' content!"
"Palace Lord, this is the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect."
Gu Tongyou pointed to the Martial Dao Prime Body and said.
Feng Cantian nodded. "Since you were the one who established Tianhuang Sect, you must be someone from Tianhuang Sect as well."
"Senior Thunder Emperor, I'm Desolate Martial."
The Martial Dao Prime Body said.
"Desolate Martial?"
Feng Cantian frowned slightly, feeling that the name sounded familiar as though he had heard it somewhere before.
However, the situation was critical and he did not have the mood to think too much about it.
"He won't die with me around today. Who was the one who said that?"
Yan Zui glared at the Martial Dao Prime Body and asked slowly.
Among the people who arrived later, this purple-robed cultivator was the only one he could not see through.
If he was not wrong, this should be the person who said that!
Yan Zui could not see through the Martial Dao Prime Body nor could Fairy Purple River and the other two. Therefore, they did not act rashly and were instead on guard.
It was almost impossible for anyone to protect Feng Cantian given the current situation!
Unless… the intruder was a Fiend King!
Under normal circumstances, experts of the Fiend King realm would not interfere in a fight between earth-grade sects.
However, Fairy Purple River and the others could not tell the depths of the Martial Dao Prime Body and were unsure.
"I said it."
The Martial Dao Prime Body replied.
Yan Zui smiled gently. "There are already four experts on the Perfected Fiend Ranking here, hundreds of Perfected Fiend experts and a million-strong fiend army. With such a formation, unless you're above the Grotto-heaven realm, there's no way you can defend against us!"
Pausing for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's your cultivation realm?"
Fairy Purple River and the others listened intently as well.
The Martial Dao Prime Body raised his head slightly and looked at the skies. It was unknown what he was looking at but he did not reply, as though his mind was elsewhere.
Yan Zui sneered internally and already had a judgment. He said slowly, "Your secret skill to hide your cultivation realm is indeed brilliant. However, if I'm not wrong, your cultivation should be at the Perfected One realm!"
The Martial Dao Prime Body remained silent, as though he could not be bothered with Yan Zui.
"Why do you say that?"
Dragon Fiend asked darkly.
Yan Zui replied confidently, "First, I don't recall any Fiend Kings in the Fiend Domain wearing such silver masks."
"Second, Fiend Kings won't interfere in fights between earth-grade sects casually."
"Third, Feng Cantian is from the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and has only stayed here for a few thousand years. It's difficult for him to establish a relationship with the Fiend Kings of the Fiend Domain."
"Fourth, since this person is also from Tianhuang Mainland and even addressed Feng Cantian as senior, it means that he's a junior of Feng Cantian!"
"Even Feng Cantian has yet to advance to the Grotto-heaven realm. It's difficult for this person to do so as well."
Fairy Purple River and the others nodded in agreement as their eyes lit up.
Yan Zui pointed at Heavenly Wolf and continued, "Fifth and most importantly, the purple-robed man's mount is only a Grade 4 Heaven Immortal!"
"If that person is a Fiend King, the cultivation realm of his mount can't be so low!"
Dragon Fiend nodded. "That's right!"
"Exactly."
The Fiend Saber, Li Potian, praised as well, "Brother Yan, impressive. Truly impressive!"
When Gu Tongyou saw that the cultivation of the Martial Dao Prime Body could no longer be hidden, he said to Feng Cantian hurriedly, "Palace Lord, among us, only the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect is considered as an expert of the Perfected One realm."
"He's not weak and once killed two Perfected Fiend experts, Cang Yan and Xie Feng, to save us."
"Oh?"
Yan Zui raised his brow slightly and mocked, "So, you managed to kill Cang Yan and Xie Feng. Impressive."
Feng Cantian arrived beside the Martial Dao Prime Body and said in a deep voice, "Brother Desolate Martial, I'll hold off Yan Zui, Fairy Purple River, Dragon Fiend and Li Potian. I'll leave the remaining Perfected Fiends to you!"
In truth, any one of the four Perfected Fiends was more terrifying than the remaining hundreds of Perfected Fiends combined!
Feng Cantian was worried that the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect would not be able to defend against the experts on the Perfected Fiend Ranking. That was the reason why he made such an arrangement.
Of course, he could not defend against it either—a decision as such would merely delay things for a moment.
"There's no need for all that trouble."
The Martial Dao Prime Body shook his head gently and his glabella shone, summoning the Hell Suppression Tripod.
With a single thought from the Martial Dao Prime Body, the Hell Suppression Tripod expanded continuously and hovered in midair.
"You guys can hide beneath this tripod."
The Martial Dao Prime Body pointed at the Hell Suppression Tripod in midair and said.
"Huh?"
"What do you mean?"
Feng Cantian, Gu Tongyou and the others were confused.
Even Yan Zui and the others were a little stunned, not knowing what nonsense the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect was talking about.
In a flash, the Martial Dao Prime Body floated down from Heavenly Wolf and pointed to the firmaments, saying indifferently, "The world is about to change."
The moment he said that, everyone felt a huge shadow envelop them.
In the blink of an eye, a violent gust of wind blew and the world turned dark!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of thunder approached from afar, as though countless chariots were galloping over from the firmaments in a shocking manner!
Everyone raised their heads.
Dark clouds filled the firmaments, pitch-black as ink. One after another, the thick clouds rumbled and surged continuously, emitting a tremendous might that enveloped the million-strong fiend army!
