Chapter 1425: Shocking Calamity

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Shocking Calamity

"The winner becomes a Prince, the loser a bandit. Mo Xuan, just kill me!" Yao Cang stared at Mo Xuan. At this point, he already understood what his end would be. Even if he didn’t want to die, it was no longer up to him.

So he might as well be a little more carefree.

"I’ll grant your wish!" Just then, Bai Aotian barked, his great hand clawing out. With a thunderous boom, Yao Cang’s body was crushed to pieces.

With this, in the Thousand Cities, all hundred City Lords had fallen.

And the Yao Cang who had dreamed of ruling the Thousand Cities was now miserably dead by Bai Aotian’s hand.

"Is it over?" In the distance, the terror in the hearts of the crowd still couldn’t calm. The corpses strewn all over the ground were all terrifying existences of the Divine Separation Realm.

Yet who could have imagined that in today’s battle they would all perish here?

Some even looked at Xiao Tianyu with deep respect and fear on their faces.

The hundred City Lords had all died under a single order from Xiao Tianyu.

Rumble, rumble, rumble~

On the other side, Heavenly Daozi had also ended his battle. As for the experts of the Luoshen Sect who had come, they were all dead, not a single one left alive.

Does your heart tremble?

More than tremble—their bodies were practically shaking.

Thinking back, how awe-inspiring had these hundred City Lords been under Yao Cang’s lead?

Yet now, look at the outcome.

Today’s battle of Ice Sea City was destined to stir up a raging storm across the Thousand Cities. Some people didn’t doubt at all that from now on Ice Sea City would be king of the Thousand Cities, ruling the world.

So long as Xiao Tianyu lived for even one more day, Ice Sea City would be the place of greatest authority.

Xiao Tianyu’s legend was once again being written across the Thousand Cities.

"You all stay here!" At that moment, Xiao Tianyu spoke to Mo Xuan and the others, making Mo Xuan freeze for a second before asking, "Where are you going?"

"Celestial Demon City!" Xiao Tianyu said coldly, then turned his gaze to Li Fei, Lihen Heaven, Jian Wushuang, and Bai Bufan, continuing, "You four are coming with me. Senior Brothers, I’ll have to trouble you ten to guard this place!"

With that, Xiao Tianyu stepped into the air toward the direction of Celestial Demon City. Li Fei, Bai Bufan and the others all followed behind him.

"Is he going to Celestial Demon City to clean house?"

"He should be."

"Let’s go take a look!"

With those words, many people in the distance followed behind Xiao Tianyu’s group, stepping through the air toward Celestial Demon City.

Some even thought to themselves, Going to clean house, with just those few?

Everyone knew that even with Yao Cang having fallen here tonight, Celestial Demon City still had several Divine Separation Realm experts sitting in town.

So, would Xiao Tianyu’s group face any danger?

...

On the other side.

In a tavern a thousand miles from Ice Sea City, Yao Junlin and Xie Changhua were still seated, drinking wine.

Xie Changhua said, "Brother Yao, stop worrying over nothing. Besides, the five Uncle-Masters from Luoshen have all gone to Ice Sea City, plus a hundred City Lords. Even if the City Lord of Ice Sea has heaven-defying abilities, he’s undoubtedly dead!"

"But I still feel this vague panic in my heart!"

Ever since Yao Junlin sensed several auras streaking across the sky above, he kept feeling something was going to happen. But Xie Changhua had repeatedly urged him not to go, so he hadn’t gone to take a look.

"That’s just psychological." Xie Changhua smiled dismissively. "Even if a few experts went to reinforce Ice Sea City, would they dare strike at several Uncle-Masters? And, taking ten thousand steps back, even if something unexpected did happen, you wouldn’t be able to change anything by going there—and might well die there yourself. So your worrying, Brother Yao, is unnecessary. I’m sure before long someone will come to report."

"Let’s hope I’m overthinking it." Yao Junlin gave a helpless smile, then raised his cup to Xie Changhua and said, "Senior Brother Xie, I drink to you."

"Good!" Xie Changhua nodded. After they drank together, he smiled and said, "That’s better. And I should congratulate you, Brother Yao, on soon becoming the new overlord of the Thousand Cities!"

With that, Xie Changhua set down his cup.

Yao Junlin replied, "Many thanks. Once matters over there are settled, Senior Brother Xie must come to my Celestial Demon City and get drunk with me for three days and three nights!"

"Naturally!"

The two continued to chat idly.

However, not long after, a young man hurriedly approached with quick steps.

This man was a Sword Control Peak disciple.

"What is it?" Yao Junlin put down his cup and asked. The disciple said, "Sword Son, something terrible has happened!"

"What happened?" Yao Junlin’s brows furrow slightly. That bad premonition he’d had surged up again. After all, this was the man he’d sent to watch the situation over there.

The disciple immediately said, "All hundred City Lords died in battle—that includes the Sword Son’s father..."

"What did you say?"

Whoosh~

In an instant, Yao Junlin shot to his feet, shock blazing in his eyes, clearly terrified by what he’d just heard.

Even Xie Changhua opposite him felt a jolt in his heart, a look of utter disbelief flashing in his eyes.

A hundred City Lords, all killed in battle, and Yao Junlin’s father, Yao Cang, had died among them. For Yao Junlin, this was a calamity from the heavens. Without seeing it himself, it was almost impossible to believe.

Those were a hundred Divine Separation Realm experts—yet they had all been killed, and even his father Yao Cang hadn’t escaped.

Yao Junlin roared in shock, "What on earth happened? What about my Uncle-Masters? Didn’t they help?"

"The Uncle-Masters were all killed as well!" As the disciple spoke, his body was still trembling. Just thinking of what happened at Ice Sea City left him terrified.

The Uncle-Masters were killed as well?

Yao Junlin was completely stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. Those Uncle-Masters were some of Sword Control Peak’s most formidable people; their lowest cultivation was the Divine Separation Fifth Layer.

Even they were dead?

At that moment, Xie Changhua asked, "What exactly happened over there?"

"Xiao Tianyu came back!" The disciple turned, looking at Xie Changhua as he stammered, "He returned with ten supreme experts, and every one of those ten is at the Divine Separation Ninth Layer. They crushed the hundred City Lords and the Uncle-Masters. Now Xiao Tianyu’s group has already headed to Celestial Demon City. I fear Celestial Demon City is about to face a calamity out of nowhere!"

"That’s impossible!"

Yao Junlin’s body shook, disbelief in his eyes as he continued, "Xiao Tianyu left the Thousand Cities barely over a year ago and should still be training in the Yanzhou Ancient Realm. How could he come back so fast, and how could he have such powerful beings at his side? What on earth happened?"

"Brother Yao!" Xie Changhua looked at Yao Junlin and said, "This isn’t the time to talk about that. We’re only a thousand miles from Ice Sea City. Right now the priority is to leave immediately and return to the Luoshen Sect!"

Xie Changhua was still relatively clear-headed. A thousand miles, to Martial Cultivators, was only the distance of a single thought. If their whereabouts were exposed, they might not even be able to run.

"Senior Brother Xie is right. Sword Son, this isn’t the time to be discussing this. We should leave quickly. As for revenge, we need to plan long-term." The disciple also urged.

"Fine!" Yao Junlin nodded. Though he knew Celestial Demon City would be in trouble, he had no intention of going to help.

After all, for him, preserving his own life came first.
