Chapter 1807 - Closing the Sect

For a time, everyone in the Emperor Dragon’s Heavenly Palace was panic-stricken.

Nie Cangsheng and the others had already guessed that the cultivators from the various sects that had entered the Primal Beginning Immortal Domain would act against Tang Huan in the next thirty-six days.

Naturally, the cultivators of the Crimson Radiance Sect were no exception.

However, no one expected that they would actually be so impatient. Before even officially entering the Primordial Immortal Region, they would have to deal with Tang Huan, and even had thoughts of taking care of Xiao Nian Die, Jiu Ling and the rest … It had to be said that the Immortal Gathering Hall was an extremely good opportunity to make a move.

Therefore, although everyone was shocked, they did not have much suspicion on the authenticity of the rumor.

However, even though they knew that the news was real, they couldn’t do anything about it. They could only hope that Tang Huan, Xiao Nian Die and the rest could leave the Immortal Cultivation Hall as soon as possible and escape this calamity.

However, thinking about it, it was impossible. It didn’t matter where one was in Crimson Light, the time they would have to arrive at the Hall of Immortal Ascension was the same.

In this situation, no matter how fast Tang Huan and the rest’s reactions were, they would not be able to dodge the attacks of more than 2000 cultivators, unless a miracle happened.

Just as everyone in the Emperor Dragon’s Heavenly Mansion was worried, something even worse happened!

Nearly a thousand powerhouses from all the great sects of the Crimson Light Heavens Sect had suddenly gathered in Jade Imperial City. Amongst them, there were actually five Heavenly Kings, and even two of them were middle level Heavenly Kings.

And so, a great war broke out.

With her own strength, Xiao Zihan had first heavily injured two Inferior Heavenly Kings, then forcefully blocked the third and the other two Intermediate Heavenly Kings, but she still couldn’t save the loser. After all, not only was there the Heavenly King, but there were also nearly a thousand Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Marquis and Ninth Heavenly Marquis.

After the war, the Royal Dragon Heavenly Mansion suffered heavy casualties.

Nie Cangsheng, Xiao Zihan, and dozens of elders were severely injured. Dozens of elders, including the ’Artifact Spirit Heavenly Fault’ Master Du Xinghe, had died. Sun Kui and several other elders’ cultivation bases had been completely destroyed.

Of course, it was obvious that the experts from the various sects had the ability to take advantage of the situation and destroy the Emperor Dragon’s Heavenly Palace. They didn’t do so because they were obviously worried as well.

No matter which Heaven Realm it was, completely destroying a sect or cutting off its inheritance was taboo, especially a large sect like the Emperor Dragon’s Heavenly Palace which had existed for a long time. This was especially so because no one knew if a supreme expert from that sect had ever walked out and still existed in the 18 or even the 9 heavens.

Once that absolute warrior returns, it will be a big deal.

In the history of the Heaven Realm, there had been many such examples, so unless one had absolute confidence, no sect would be so ruthless. The other great sects of Crimsonbright didn’t dare to do so either. The reason for that was very simple. That was, the Ji Qingtian from tens of thousands of years ago was said to still be alive.

However, although the Royal Dragon Heavenly Palace was not destroyed, they had no choice but to seal off their own sect to protect themselves.

It was not a good idea. But those who had experienced the changes in their sect, even if they were to reopen their sect in the future, very few would be able to rise again. Basically, they would all be obliterated by the flow of time. However, the Emperor Dragon Heaven Palace had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, once every month or so, a great battle like that would take place. The Royal Dragon Heaven Palace would fall even faster.

As soon as the news of the Royal Dragon’s Heavenly Mansion being sealed was announced, a large number of the disciples scattered in all directions. There were even many elders who chose to leave the sect.

It was said that less than half of the remaining disciples of the Royal Dragon’s Heavenly Palace were present when the day of the sect’s sealing had officially arrived. After all, a sect could last for hundreds or even hundreds of years, and many people were unwilling to spend such a long period of time inside it.

After the sect was sealed, the Jade Imperial City rapidly declined.

The reason why this large city could appear was because of the existence of the Emperor Dragon’s Heavenly Palace. Since the Emperor’s Heavenly Palace had already sealed off its own sect, naturally, so many cultivators would not stay here forever. In the next ten years, a large amount of cultivators left the city every day.

Until now, there were still tens of millions of people remaining. It was already quite 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. He did this not because he wanted to leave the sect, but to try and see if he could wait for Tang Huan, Xiao Nian Die and the rest to return safely. Seeing that he insisted on doing it, Nie Cangsheng and the others had no choice but to let him do it.

Sun Kui did not hold out much hope, and only held onto a sliver of hope that he managed to survive. Otherwise, he would have already decided to end his own life.

What he did not expect was that his persistence had brought him benefits.

When he saw Xiao Niao at the Emperor Dragon Guest House, he could not believe his eyes. What was even more unexpected was that amongst the dozens of people that had returned, there were actually three Heavenly Kings. If it weren’t for the unforeseen event, the Emperor Dragon’s Heavenly Palace with three Heavenly Kings would definitely be called the number one sect in Crimson Radiance Sect.

”Elder, which sect did this?” Tang Huan said in a heavy voice.

”Supreme Sword Sect, Seven Stars Immortal Palace, Godly Mt. Xumi, Spiritual True Immortal Sect and Divine Martial Heavenly Sect. These five sects all have their own Heavenly King overseeing them. In addition to them, there’s also the Wise Immortal Sect …. Sun Kui listed out the names of dozens of sects as if he was counting his own family treasures, ”Oh right, there’s also the Qian Yuan Heavenly Sect and the Everlasting Temple.”

”Which sect’s cultivator killed Master Du Que?”

One was Sun Kui, and the other was the head of the ”Heavenly Sword Palace”, Du Xinghe. She never thought that after ten years, he would actually be killed by someone else. At this time, the anger in Tang Huan’s heart was almost uncontrollable.

”It’s the Sect Leader of the Divine Martial Sect, Dong Zhengcai. He’s a ninth level pinnacle marquis.”

Saying this, Sun Kui started to speak anxiously, ”Tang Huan, you all better not look for trouble with the Divine Martial Sect. Although the sect only has an Inferior Heavenly King, if you touch it, it will definitely attract other sects’ Inferior Heavenly Kings, or even a Medial Heavenly King. The news of your return has definitely spread. What you need to do now is to quickly find a place to hide, cultivate properly, and raise your cultivation. ”

Although Tang Huan and Xiao Nian Die had three Heavenly Kings, they were alone. How could they contend against the Supreme Sword Sect and the Seven Stars Immortal Palace?

It would be unwise to seek vengeance from the sects now if he had the courage to do so.

To cultivators, it wouldn’t be too late to take revenge for a hundred years. Tang Huan and the others were the hope for the future rise of the Emperor Dragon’s Heavenly Palace. What they needed to do the most was to ensure that the experts from the various sects didn’t find them and kill them. As long as they were still alive, it would be a huge deterrence to the large sects.
