For a time, everyone in the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Mansion was in a state of panic.
In the next thirty-six days, the cultivators from the various sects that had entered the Primal Beginning Immortal Domain would attack Tang Huan. This was something that Nie Cangsheng and the others had already guessed.
The cultivators of the Crimson Radiance Sect were naturally no exception.
However, no one expected that they would actually be so impatient. Before they even officially entered the Primal Beginning Immortal Domain, they were already going to make a move on Tang Huan. They even had the idea of capturing Xiao Niao, the nine spirits, and the others in one fell swoop … It had to be said that the Immortal Seeking Palace was indeed an extremely good opportunity to make a move.
Thus, although everyone was shocked by the authenticity of the rumor, they did not doubt it too much.
However, although they knew that the news was true, there was nothing they could do. They could only hope that Tang Huan, Xiao Niandie and the others could walk out of the Immortal Seeking Hall as fast as possible and luckily escape this calamity.
However, when he thought about it, he knew that it was impossible. No matter where he was in the Crimson Radiance Sect, the time it took to reach the Immortal Ascension Hall was the same.
In this kind of situation, no matter how fast Tang Huan and the others reacted, they would not be able to avoid the interception of over two thousand cultivators, unless a miracle happened.
Just as everyone in the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace was worried, something even worse happened!
Nearly a thousand experts from the various sects of the Crimson Radiance Sect suddenly gathered in the Jade Imperial City. There were actually five Heavenly Kings among them, and two of them were even God Kings.
Thus, a great battle broke out.
With her own strength, Xiao Zihan had first heavily injured two Inferior Heavenly Kings, and then forcefully blocked the third Inferior Heavenly King and the other two Intermediate Heavenly Kings. However, she was still unable to save the situation. After all, not only were there Heavenly Kings, there were also nearly a thousand eighth and ninth level Heavenly Marquis.
After the great battle, the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Mansion suffered heavy casualties.
Nie Cangsheng, Xiao Zihan, and a dozen or so elders were severely injured. Dozens of elders, including the "Artifact Spirit Heavenly Fault", Du Xinghe, had died. Sun Kui and a few other elders had their cultivations completely crippled.
Of course, the experts of the various sects clearly had the ability to take advantage of the situation to destroy the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace. They did not do so because they clearly had their own concerns.
No matter which Heaven Realm it was, completely annihilating a sect and severing its inheritance was a great taboo, especially for a large sect like the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace that had existed for a long time. This was because no one knew if that sect had once produced a supreme expert that still existed in the last eighteen or nine days.
Once that super expert returned, there would be a lot of fun.
In the history of the Heaven Realm, there had been many such examples. Therefore, unless they had absolute confidence, no sect would do anything to the extreme. The reason was simple, it was said that Ji Qingtian from tens of thousands of years ago was still alive.
However, although the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace had not been destroyed, it had no choice but to seal its sect to protect itself.
Sealing the sect was like drinking poison to quench thirst, bringing about the gradual decline of the sect. This was not a good method, but any sect that had experienced the sealing of the sect, even if it was reopened in the future, would rarely rise again. Basically, they would all be annihilated in the river of time. However, the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, such a great battle would happen every few months, and the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace would fall even faster.
As soon as the news that the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace was about to be sealed was announced, a large number of disciples scattered in all directions. There were even quite a few elders who chose to leave the sect.
It was said that when the day of the sect sealing officially arrived, less than half of the remaining disciples of the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace were left. After all, sealing the sect would last for dozens of years, or even hundreds of years. Many people were unwilling to spend such a long time inside, so leaving the sect naturally became a rather wise choice.
After the sect was sealed, the Jade Imperial City quickly declined.
The reason why Pang Shuo's city was able to appear was because of the existence of the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace. Since the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace had already sealed itself, so many cultivators naturally wouldn't stay here forever. In the next ten years, a large number of cultivators would leave the city almost every day.
Up until now, there were still tens of millions of people left. This was already very good.
Of course, with the passage of time, perhaps in a few years, these tens of millions of people would become millions, or even fewer.
Sun Kui, whose cultivation had been crippled, did not enter the sect before the sect was sealed. Instead, he chose to stay in Jade Imperial City. Naturally, he did this not because he planned to leave the sect, but because he wanted to try and see if he could wait for Tang Huan, Xiao Niao and the others to return safely. Seeing that he was determined to do so, Nie Cangsheng and the others could only let him be.
Sun Kui didn't hold much hope in the first place. He only held onto a sliver of hope, which was why he persevered. Otherwise, with his cultivation crippled, he would have chosen to end his own life long ago.
What he didn't expect was that his perseverance had indeed brought him rewards.
When he saw Xiao Niao at the Emperor Dragon Guest House, he couldn't believe his eyes. What he didn't expect even more was that amongst the dozens of people who returned, there were actually three Heavenly Kings. If not for the unforeseen event from before, the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace, which had three Heavenly Kings, would definitely be considered the number one sect in the Crimson Radiance Sect.
"Elder, which sects did this?" Tang Huan said in a deep voice.
"Supreme Sword Sect, Seven Stars Immortal Palace, Godly Mt. Xumi, Spiritual True Immortal School, Divine Martial Sect, these five sects all have Heavenly Kings overseeing them. Other than them, there's also the Wei Ling Immortal Sect …" Sun Kui listed the names of dozens of sects as if he was counting his family treasures. "Oh right, there's also the Heaven's Expanse School and the Limitless Temple."
"Which sect's cultivator is the one who killed Lord Du Que?"
In this Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace, there were two people he was the most grateful to. One was Sun Kui, and the other was the "Artifact Spirit Heavenly Fault" Lord Du Xinghe. He never thought that after ten years, he would actually be killed by someone. At this time, the anger in Tang Huan's heart was almost uncontrollable.
"It's the Sect Master of the Divine Martial Sect, Dong Zhengchu, a peak ninth level Heaven Marquis."
As he spoke till here, Sun Kui said somewhat anxiously, "Tang Huan, you guys better not go find trouble with the Divine Martial Sect right now. Although this sect only has one Inferior Heavenly King in charge, if you touch it, it will definitely attract the Inferior Heavenly Kings of other sects, or even the Intermediate Heavenly Kings. The news of your return must have already spread. What you need to do now is to quickly find a place to hide, cultivate well, and raise your cultivation."
Although Tang Huan and Xiao Niao had the three Heavenly Kings, they were still alone. How could they contend against the Supreme Sword Sect, the Seven Stars Immortal Palace, and the other sects?
It was not wise to seek revenge on those sects just because of a moment of hot-bloodedness.
