Chapter 2854 - 2858: Panic! The Thunder Emperor Seeks Aid from Tianchi Mountain

The people outside, although numerous, were almost completely cleared away under the attacks of the powerful Demon Corpse, with the fervent assistance of the upper, mid, and junior disciples of the Demon Dragon Sect.

The war ended thoroughly with the defeat of the Chen Dynasty Army.

Ling Xiao landed and walked towards Chen Buyi.

"Master, the trouble has been solved. I won’t meddle in the following matters, is that alright?"

Ling Xiao finally restrained his cold and murderous expression, revealing a smile.

A warm current floated through Chen Buyi’s heart.

"This is the second time that you’ve saved me, and this time, you not only saved me but also rescued the Demon Dragon Sect. Truly, I don’t know how to express my gratitude."

He felt incredibly moved.

In fact, what he gave to Ling Xiao was merely the protection of a master to his disciple and some martial arts.

What Ling Xiao gave him far surpassed these.

"A day as a master, a lifetime as a father. Discussing these between master and disciple is pointless. Ah, fighting this battle has truly exhausted me, and I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Ling Xiao laughed and said.

"Yes, of course, there is! Chen Luan, bring out all the delicious food we can gather right now for Ling Xiao and Xiao Jin to feast!"

"Yes! Adoptive father!"

Still in shock, Chen Luan excitedly nodded at these words.

Being able to prepare food for Ling Xiao is also a kind of honor for him.

Watching the backs of Ling Xiao and Xiao Jin, Chen Buyi felt incredibly emotional.

Believing that after today, Ling Xiao’s already brilliant life would be further heightened.

Ling Xiao, a one-man reinforcement, yet resolved the entire crisis of Demon Dragon City.

Slaughtered hundreds of thousands of the Chen Dynasty Army.

Destroyed the seven generals of the Thunder Corps not long recruited, and even killed the Twelfth Prince and Eleventh Prince.

This achievement is truly miraculous.

Although this event didn’t happen in Thunder City.

But it is certain that his name will again shock the whole Thunder City, and this shock will be more overwhelming than when Ling Xiao stirred Thunder City in the past, killing the Purple Thunder General, and destroying the Three Great Families.

After this time, I’m afraid the five elders behind the Chen Royal Family, oh no, only four elders remain now.

They will no longer be able to ignore Ling Xiao’s existence.

Ling Xiao is still very young, only sixteen years old in the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm. At this age, he is just entering youth in Xuanwu Continent.

Given a little more time, Ling Xiao will surely become a nightmare for those four elders.

Indeed, that’s how things developed.

In just one day, the news from Demon Dragon City spread throughout Thunder City.

Almost all the major forces knew about what transpired in Demon Dragon City.

Upon hearing such news, everyone’s reactions differed.

But without exception, they all felt incredibly shocked and couldn’t believe it.

Ling Xiao’s growth rate is so astonishing.

It’s so fast that it exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Eight Immortals County City, a cheerful atmosphere.

People sang and danced, celebrating the victory of Demon Dragon City.

When the news reached here, it arrived earlier than in Thunder City.

Originally, people were somewhat worried, wondering if their Eight Immortals King, Ling Xiao, was in trouble, having disappeared for so long.

Moreover, with the Ten Absolute Formations consuming Spirit Stones greatly, seeing the lack of Spirit Stones worried them too.

And at this moment, the joyous news arrived.

Ling Xiao, single-handedly, rescued the entire Demon Dragon City.

Does this mean Ling Xiao’s strength has reached the pinnacle level of the Chen Dynasty?

Even without the Ten Absolute Formations, there’s nothing to fear.

This news had two special effects in Eight Immortals County City.

First, Ling Xiao’s most loyal supporters were, of course, very happy, morale boosted, filled with confidence for the future;

Second, some shaken ones who had no faith in Ling Xiao became thoroughly disillusioned.

Ling Xiao saved Demon Dragon City and also became master and disciple with the Demon Dragon Sect Leader.

Next, it was the Chen Royal Family that was at a disadvantage instead.

Even Ling Xiao probably didn’t expect his feats in Demon Dragon City would have such an influence.

A little later, the news reached Thunder City.

The Thunder Emperor in the palace had the first reaction of disbelief!

He killed the soldier who delivered the news.

But more new messages arrived, remaining unchanged.

"How is this possible!"

The Thunder Emperor almost collapsed onto the throne; to him, the Twelfth Prince and Eleventh Prince were his hopes.

Chen Cangxiong might inherit his throne, but the twelfth and eleventh could make the Chen Dynasty even stronger.

After all, their Chen Dynasty was the weakest nation on the Xuanwu Continent.

If they can’t rely on a Great Sect, then who else can they rely on?

Now, these two are dead!

"Father, now we shouldn’t be too saddened, we should devise strategies.

Ling Xiao, that wretch, has grown to a terrifying degree, probably beyond our capability to handle him now.

So I suggest, immediately notify ’Tianchi Mountain’.

The twelfth and eleventh may only be outer disciples of Tianchi Mountain, but they’re nonetheless disciples.

Tianchi Mountain surely won’t sit idle.

If they’re willing to send experts, why worry about not being able to eliminate Ling Xiao?"

The speaker is Chen Cangxiong.

Reputed as Chen Dynasty’s first genius, Chen Cangxiong.

In the Imperial Extreme Secret Realm, he once saw Ling Xiao as nothing.

But now, he feels a profound sense of crisis.

He’s already excellent, and his cultivation diligent.

Within the shortest time, he’s raised his cultivation to the Twelfth-Level Hell’s Peak in the First Turn Yin-Yang Realm.

He previously thought, with such cultivation and the Sword of Kings, he could easily kill Ling Xiao upon encountering him.

Yet the news from Demon Dragon City came.

His confidence completely collapsed.

Kill Ling Xiao?

Don’t be ridiculous, he’s very clear about the strength of old twelve and old eleven; without the Sword of Kings, he’s not a match for them.

However, Ling Xiao killed those two, even destroying the more powerful First General.

This is terrifying.

So now, he no longer has his previous confidence; he wants to rely on external force to kill Ling Xiao.

"You’re right, and Tianchi Mountain has always wanted you to join their sect for cultivation.

Previously, your father wanted you to inherit the throne, hence didn’t agree.

This time, you shall go.

In any case, as long as you can break through, Ling Xiao won’t be worth mentioning!"

The Thunder Emperor finally calmed down.

Ling Xiao is strong, but far from unbeatable.

There are many stronger than Ling Xiao.

"Everything follows your arrangement, father!"

Chen Cangxiong also wants to retreat to Tianchi Mountain. He doesn’t want to encounter Ling Xiao right now; he wants to leverage Tianchi Mountain’s abundant resources to boost his strength.

After the discussion, the Thunder Emperor immediately sent a pigeon message to Tianchi Mountain.

This pigeon is not an ordinary one, but a specially bred monster beast.

Its speed and endurance have been enhanced.

In terms of sheer speed, it outpaces Ling Xiao’s Vertical Earth Golden Light Technique.

Thus, within a short time, the Thunder Emperor received a reply, only two words—

Agreed!

The Thunder Emperor knew Tianchi Mountain agreed to his proposal.
