The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace and the Eight Great Immortal Emperors share a deep-seated enmity that is endless and everlasting.
Whenever disciples from both sides et, a battle to the death is inevitable, lasting until one side is completely annihilated.
The handful of high-ranking mbers in the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Tiger Immortal City think that those disciples from the Emperor’s Palace have already slain Hu Wei Immortal King, leaving them with no reason to let them off.
Perhaps in the next mont, those Emperor’s Palace disciples will arrive nacingly, claiming their lives and turning this City Lord Mansion into a bloody inferno.
They long to escape but dare not do so.
Because they know that if they abandon the City Lord Mansion and flee, they will face punishnt from the Dragon Taming Palace, a fate worse than death.
Therefore, even though they realize that if those Emperor’s Palace disciples attack, they are unlikely to withstand them, they can only remain here, sharing the fate of the City Lord Mansion.
One of the high-ranking mbers of the City Lord Mansion, filled with unwillingness, strikes the Summoning Immortal Bell, hoping to rally the Immortals of Myriad Tiger Immortal City to aid in resisting the attacks of those Emperor’s Palace disciples.
However, upon learning that the adversaries of the City Lord Mansion are Emperor’s Palace disciples, the Immortals from Myriad Tiger Immortal City who heard the bell and ca no longer wished to get involved, choosing instead to stand by and watch.
Though the Emperor’s Palace had been destroyed for a millennium, many Immortals still rember the benefits it brought to the Immortal Realm during its existence.
Back then, the Emperor’s Palace was the strongest sect in the Immortal Realm. Under the awe-inspiring reputation of the War Emperor, order in the Immortal Realm was perfectly maintained, everything fair and just. Immortals across the realm were in awe, and the Demon Realm and Demon Clan dared not invade the Immortal Realm.
However, since the fall of the War Emperor and the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace, the Eight Great Immortal Emperors each claid a territory, becoming the eight top forces in the Immortal Realm, occupying Cultivation Holy Lands and swallowing Cultivation Resources, while their subordinate forces beca arrogant and overbearing beyond asure...
From then on, order in the Immortal Realm began to crumble, chaos spreading, and strong figures from the Demon Clan and Demon Realm frequently crossed boundaries, causing disturbances in the Immortal Realm.
Many Immortals harbored resentnt about this but were too afraid of the power of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors to speak out.
The City Lord Mansion of Myriad Tiger Immortal City, being a subordinate force of the Dragon Taming Palace, holds so responsibility for the current state of the Immortal Realm, one of the top eight Immortal Emperors, the Dragon Taming Emperor, being its Palace Master.
Hence, seeing the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Tiger Immortal City in trouble, most of the Immortals within the city watched with schadenfreude; how many would actually step forward to help?
"You all..."
Seeing the various Immortals adopting an "it’s not my business" stance, the dozen high-ranking mbers of the City Lord Mansion were infuriated but helpless.
Among these Immortals, there were so Immortal King Realm Experts. Even if City Lord Hu Wei Immortal King were present, he couldn’t command them, let alone themselves.
"Quick, bring that Taoist Shi here!"
An Elder of the City Lord Mansion suddenly had an idea, exclaiming with excitent.
Taoist Shi was also a disciple of the Emperor’s Palace; if the four Emperor’s Palace disciples who killed Hu Wei Immortal King ca to the City Lord Mansion, they could use Taoist Shi’s life to threaten them, making them hesitate and not dare to act recklessly.
anwhile, that Elder assigned a Steward to ride on the Immortal Tiger and imdiately fly to the Dragon Taming Palace to seek reinforcents.
Taoist Shi originally had his Qi Sea injured, remaining in a comatose state for many years. He was later captured and brought to the City Lord Mansion, where he consud an Immortal Pill from the Tiger Dragon Immortal King, temporarily awakening but still in poor condition, remaining in a daze.
When he was brought to the plaza in front of the City Lord’s Hall, he was unaware of what had happened. However, the many disciples of the Dragon Taming Palace present were familiar to him, and the bewildernt in his eyes suddenly erupted into a sky-high hatred, and he shouted sternly: "Disciples of the Dragon Taming Palace, you destroyed my Emperor’s Palace! One day, I will make you pay the blood debt!"
"Slap!"
A Steward from the City Lord Mansion took a step forward, raised his hand, and slapped Taoist Shi, sending him flying.
"What are you shouting for? If it weren’t for the fact that you still have so use, I’d kill you right now!"
The Steward of the City Lord Mansion scolded fiercely, rushing forward to grab the bloodied Taoist Shi, saying viciously: "Listen, if any Emperor’s Palace disciples co, you better behave yourself and cooperate obediently, or I will grind your bones to dust!"
Upon hearing "Emperor’s Palace disciple," Taoist Shi’s eyes suddenly brightened with a glimr of hope, murmuring: "Emperor’s Palace disciples... Ha... Haha... I knew it, it’s impossible for all the ten thousand Emperor’s Palace disciples to have fallen at your hands... The Emperor’s Palace disciples have co to seek revenge from you, haven’t they? Haha... Alright! Alright!"
Even though he was grabbed by the City Lord Mansion Steward, Taoist Shi was dancing with excitent, not at all like an injured Immortal.
The City Lord Mansion Steward, seeing him laughing crazily and appearing mad, was sowhat worried that he might indeed lose his mind. If that were the case, once the four Emperor’s Palace disciples attacked the City Lord Mansion, witnessing this scene might provoke their wrath, leading them to go on a rampage.
"Hmph, I’ll spare your life for now!"
The Steward of the City Lord Mansion released Taoist Shi and went over to discuss counterasures with the other high-ranking mbers of the City Lord Mansion.
The City Lord Mansion had a ready Defensive Array, which could be activated to defend against strong enemies. If the Formation were broken, Taoist Shi would be their last lifesaving card.
They only hoped that those four Emperor’s Palace disciples would take a few more days to arrive or that the Defensive Array could hold out a few more days, buying ti for the reinforcents from the Dragon Taming Palace.
However, despite their plans, things did not go as they wished.
re monts after the Steward brought out Taoist Shi, four streaks of light approached swiftly, hovering over the City Lord Mansion.
"It’s really them..."
The dozen high-ranking mbers of the City Lord Mansion, seeing the four figures in the sky, couldn’t help but turn pale.
One of the Stewards hastily grabbed Taoist Shi and brought him to his side, using him as a shield, as if that was the only way to feel secure.
Taoist Shi struggled a little, then looked up at the sky. Though the sunlight was blinding, he vaguely made out four Immortals looking down.
"Emperor’s Palace disciples... It’s the Emperor’s Palace disciples..."
Despite being severely injured, Taoist Shi could sense familiar traces from the four Immortals in the sky, and tears of joy and relief stread down his face.
A thousand years ago, after the fall of the War Emperor and the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace, the not-so-powerful Taoist Shi was forced to hide in Polang Village.
During this millennium, he always hoped for an Emperor’s Palace disciple to rise up and rally their comrades, launching a revenge war against the Eight Great Immortal Emperors.
Perhaps due to being out of touch with news, for a thousand years, he never heard any news of the Emperor’s Palace disciples, believing that the tens of thousands of Emperor’s Palace disciples had long perished, causing him great anger and grief.
Though he longed for revenge, he knew he was too weak to make a difference, so he lay in wait for an opportunity, never imagining he would et four of his fellow disciples here today.
The four Emperor’s Palace disciples hovering in the sky, each with eyes cold and faces stern, looked down upon nearly a thousand disciples of the City Lord Mansion. Their Immortal Might descended, instantly causing imnse pressure on nearly a thousand of the City Lord Mansion disciples.
