Seeing Gao Minghui continuously hesitating to move forward, so disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect grew impatient. Although Gao Minghui was the lead disciple in charge of the team this ti, there were factions within the Misty Immortal Sect, and many disciples were not convinced by him.
At that mont, another disciple spoke up, "Elder Brother Gao, if you are afraid, then we can go ahead to scout the path for you."
This statent was clearly tinged with mockery, but upon hearing it, Gao Minghui didn't get angry. He looked at the gates of Black Dragon City and said indifferently, "The major powers of the Misty World sent thousands of disciples from the Unity Realm into the Tianchen World, only for the Daxia Dynasty to wipe them out so easily. I don't believe that the Daxia Dynasty only has cultivators from the Unity Realm."
Then, another disciple from the Misty Immortal Sect said, "Of course there aren't only Unity Realm cultivators. Haven't those commoners said it? The Daxia Dynasty also has flying immortals, which are most likely Celestials."
"But what about that? The spiritual energy in the Tianchen World has only just revived. Even if so Celestials have been born, how many can there be? Why should we be afraid of this secular Daxia Dynasty?"
To the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect present, they were entering the Tianchen World with two to three hundred people on this excursion, all of them at the Heavenly Human Realm.
A secular dynasty at most would have three to five Celestials, while the Misty Immortal Sect had almost three hundred Celestials entering the Tianchen World this ti. Why should they be afraid of the few Celestials of a secular dynasty?
Not to ntion Celestials—even if the Daxia Dynasty had cultivators from the Genesis Realm, they wouldn't likely be a match for them.
Seeing that the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect seed not to take the Daxia Dynasty seriously, Gao Minghui's expression turned sour.
He always believed that the Daxia Dynasty was not that simple; a secular dynasty daring to directly confront a Sect must possess so strength.
However, speaking of that, even knowing that the Daxia Dynasty might have so strength, as people sent by the Misty Immortal Sect to scout out the Tianchen World, they also had to actively eliminate any potential threats.
Gao Minghui then said, "Since my fellow disciples can't wait any longer, let's enter Black Dragon City. However, everyone should be as careful as possible. The Daxia Dynasty has evacuated the nearby population in advance, and they likely left so traps in Black Dragon City."
As soon as Gao Minghui finished speaking, several disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect flew straight toward the gates of Black Dragon City. As they flew, they said, "Elder Brother Gao, we'll scout the path for you, you just wait here."
Soon, the disciples arrived at the gates, and just as they were about to fly over the city wall, they suddenly discovered that there were already many soldiers on it.
However, instead of feeling scared, the disciples burst into laughter.
"It seems Elder Brother Gao was right; there are indeed traps!"
"Ha ha ha, what kind of trap is this!"
"re mortals not even at the Unity Realm daring to ambush us! Ridiculous!"
...
As they spoke, the disciples were about to attack the Daxia soldiers on the city wall, but at that mont, several loud 'bangs' were heard, and the disciples from the Misty Immortal Sect, who were still flying by sword, suddenly seed to be struck by a severe blow, dropping from the sky one after another.
Seeing this scene, Gao Minghui instantly beca vigilant and shouted, "It's an ambush! Everyone, be careful!"
Gao Minghui furrowed his brows tightly; it was just as he had thought—the Daxia Dynasty really had an ambush here.
He was now very curious about what kind of magical weapon the people of the Daxia Dynasty used that could instantly cripple a Celestial.
If the opponents possessed the strength to seriously injure or even kill Celestials, under these circumstances, they could no longer continue to view the Daxia Dynasty as an ordinary secular dynasty.
Just as Gao Minghui's warning sounded, the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect did not beco frightened. Instead, they beca excited, and a disciple shouted loudly, "Dare to injure the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect, let's all work together to annihilate these lowlifes!"
During the conversation, the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect charged straight towards Black Dragon City, completely ignoring Gao Minghui's caution. Gao Minghui, as the chief disciple, had no authority at all.
As the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect flew toward Black Dragon City, the sound of horns echoed above, and the next mont, countless rune cannon shells flew towards those Celestials.
So Celestials, seeing the cannon shells, continued mocking, "Mortals are mortals; using iron balls to attack us."
"They probably think we're like mortals, that we could be killed by iron balls!"
...
Just as the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect were laughing at the Daxia soldiers throwing iron balls, suddenly a deafening blast was heard, followed by a mushroom cloud rising amidst the crowd. The surrounding disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect were injured and killed by the explosion.
The bodies of the Celestials were indeed robust; if they had been Unity Realm cultivators, they would have been turned to pieces by the direct hit of rune cannon shells, while so of the Misty Immortal Sect disciples, even when hit, had at most lost an arm or a leg.
Of course, if one rune cannon shell couldn't kill them, then they just needed a few more.
Subsequently, cannon shells rained down from the sky, and mushroom clouds covered the area where the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect were located. Seeing their fellow disciples being blown to pieces, the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect were finally scared.
Gao Minghui urgently shouted, "Retreat! Retreat imdiately!"
The Daxia Dynasty possessed weapons of such imnse power; indeed, they were not an ordinary secular dynasty. They must devise a long-term plan and promptly report this matter to the Sect.
Hearing Gao Minghui's words, the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect no longer resisted and, terrified, hurriedly flew on their swords toward the Misty World.
As the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect fled back towards the Misty World, they encountered disciples from the Linghu Sect who were on their way to Black Dragon City.
Seeing the disheveled state of the Misty Immortal Sect's disciples, the Linghu Sect's disciples were stupefied, curious about who could have forced the Misty Immortal Sect's disciples to flee in such a sorry state, like dogs that had lost their hos.
The leading principal disciple of the Linghu Sect imdiately approached Gao Minghui and blocked his path, "Gao Minghui, why are you coming back? What happened up ahead?"
Liang Qiuren couldn't help but suspect that the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortal Sect, who had been the first to enter Tianchen World, might have set up an ambush and launched a surprise attack on the disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect, causing them to flee in such disgrace.
Gao Minghui glanced at Liang Qiuren, originally not intending to inform him of the situation with the Daxia Dynasty, hoping Linghu Sect would also be taught a harsh lesson. But after pondering for a mont, Gao Minghui opened his mouth and said:
"Liang Qiuren, the Daxia Dynasty is very strong; we are no match for them. I advise you and Linghu Sect to retreat imdiately and report the situation of Tianchen World to your Sect leader."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Minghui bypassed Liang Qiuren and continued retreating towards the Misty World.
Watching the Misty Immortal Sect's disciples scram in panic, the disciples of Linghu Sect stood bewildered in place.
Was it just a secular dynasty?
Was it that terrifying?
The Misty Immortal Sect, as the foremost force in the Misty World, was actually afraid of a secular dynasty from an inferior world?
At that mont, a disciple approached Liang Qiuren, "Senior Brother Liang, what shall we do now?"
Liang Qiuren did not answer imdiately, lost in thought.
Then, another disciple spoke up, "I think those guys from the Misty Immortal Sect are just bluffing, putting on an act. They definitely don't want us to delve deeper into Tianchen World."
"Exactly, the number one power of the Misty World is so scared by a secular dynasty of a lower world that they run away? It's ridiculous!"
"Senior Brother Liang, let's hurry to Black Dragon City. It's the city closest to the Misty World with the densest Spiritual Energy. If we take Black Dragon City, our Sect leader can use it as a reason when dividing territories later on."
Liang Qiuren thought for a mont, seeing so sense in this. He also didn't think the Misty Immortal Sect's disciples should be so frightened by the Daxia Dynasty.
He then said, "Continue moving forward!"
As the words fell, Liang Qiuren led the disciples of the Linghu Sect toward Black Dragon City. Upon arrival, they discovered over a hundred corpses of Celestials outside the city gates, identifiable by their clothing as disciples of the Misty Immortal Sect.
At this sight, the disciples of Linghu Sect were shocked.
They had assud Gao Minghui was just bluffing them, only to find that there indeed existed a force in Black Dragon City capable of killing Celestials.
Seeing the craters all over the ground, the disciples of Linghu Sect felt a chill run down their spines.
When Liang Qiuren ca to his senses, he hastily said, "Sothing's wrong, retreat imdiately!"
No sooner had Liang Qiuren spoken than blue-glowing Rune Cannon Shells whizzed overhead. Then, mushroom clouds exploded among the crowd, and, just like what happened to the Misty Immortal Sect earlier, the disciples of Linghu Sect were killed or injured by the blasts.
After witnessing this scene, the disciples of Linghu Sect tumbled and scrambled away from Black Dragon City, also fleeing toward the Misty World.
Liang Qiuren now understood why Gao Minghui had spoken as he did instead of concealing the danger in Black Dragon City. Gao Minghui had intentionally provoked them to make them believe it was all a ruse by the Misty Immortal Sect.
Had Gao Minghui not openly ntioned the danger in Black Dragon City, they might have been wary, suspecting sothing dangerous up ahead, especially since the Misty Immortal Sect's disciples had fled and not told them of any danger, probably wishing to see them suffer too.
Grinding his teeth, Liang Qiuren, having understood the situation, coldly said, "Gao Minghui, such cunning!"
At that mont, a disciple asked, "Senior Brother Liang, what do we do now?"
Now that Black Dragon City was occupied by the Daxia Dynasty, and considering they possessed weapons capable of killing Celestials, venturing deeper into the Daxia Dynasty would likely be perilous.
After pondering awhile, Liang Qiuren said, "First return to the Misty World and tell everything to the Sect leader. Let's await his decision!"
