My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 143 - 9: Lightning Strikes an Earth Immortal, a Life-and-Death Crisis

......

「Meanwhile, at the Longque Technology headquarters in Shengjing.」

Yan Huang stared at the scene on the satellite feed, his face a mask of utter shock and bewilderment. He glanced around blankly.

’That kid... is that Lu Xuan?’

With a single punch and kick, he’d cut down a Celestial Human who looked to be at the fourth or fifth layer. The unknown lightning he unleashed seemed terrifyingly powerful—an Earth Immortal was on the verge of death after just being grazed by it!

’What kind of monster is Xiaoxuan?’

’How long has it been? A few months ago, he was still at the Jade Tower stage, and now he can kill ordinary Celestial Humans so easily? He can even take down High-ranking Celestial Humans???’

After a long moment of shock, his eyes fell on another satellite map showing a high-ranking director from Sakata Heavy Industries closing in. Yan Huang abruptly snapped back to his senses.

"Contact Nan Ming! Get him to the Kongtong Mountain Range immediately! As fast as possible!"

He rose to his feet, his decision made in an instant. ’Anyone else, I could let it go, but if that damned kid dies out there, my precious daughter will probably try to kill me!’

"Chairman, are you..." an Earth Immortal director asked with a focused expression. "Are you going personally as well? If you do, we might end up in an all-out war with Sakata Heavy Industries. At that point... it really will be a fight to the death!"

"We’re already at that point."

Yan Huang said coldly. He hesitated for a moment, then began to release the Great Bans layered within his physical body. The hidden, sealed power started to surge forth again, and his own aura began to skyrocket!

Third Grade True Immortal... Second Grade True Immortal... First Grade True Immortal...

Suddenly, a Longque Technology executive cried out, "Chairman! There’s another development!"

His expression was grave. "The Young Miss has arrived in Shengjing, but our surveillance indicates that the chairman of Sakata Heavy Industries also seems to be making a move."

As he spoke, sweat dripped down the executive’s forehead. If things went south today, it would escalate into a chaotic battle between True Immortals. The super conglomerates would completely tear off all pretenses and go into an all-out slaughter!

At that point, half the planet being engulfed in the flames of war would be a minor outcome!

At that moment, another executive also stood up. "Wait, look at the satellite feed!"

Yan Huang froze, glancing sideways. On the satellite feed of the Kongtong Mountain Range, he could see many immortals speeding through the air, their origins unknown.

At a glance, there were at least a dozen Earth Immortals, all emerging from the depths of the Kongtong Mountain Range. Following them were over a hundred Celestial Humans, all dressed in Daoist Robes and Hats.

And the one in the lead... was that a True Immortal?

"This is..." He was slightly taken aback.

In the brief moment he was stunned, the hundred-plus Daoists had already reached the edge of the Kongtong Mountain Range, each one standing arrayed upon the clouds.

The pursued youth and the Earth Immortals chasing him had also come to a halt.

A thought stirred in Yan Huang’s mind. The Great Bans he had undone were restored, and his aura slid back down to that of an ordinary True Immortal.

Immediately, he sat upright in his chair, staring intently at the satellite feed as an idea surfaced in his mind.

’Could these be the beings backing that damned kid?’

Suddenly, he recalled the Grand Grade who had walked out of the super-ruins that day. His heart relaxed, and a smile returned to his face as he muttered to himself:

"I almost forgot about that. This kid has a Grand Grade backing him too..."

With that thought, he shook his head and ordered his subordinates to bring Yan Jiangxue over. After glancing at the satellite feed, which had become blurry from the fluctuations of True Immortal auras, he stepped out onto the clouds himself. His Divine Eye opened, his gaze sweeping over the Kongtong Mountain Range.

The Jade Tower has the Nine Gates, the Celestial Human realm has the Ninth Layer, the Earth Immortal has the Nine Tribulations, and True Immortals are divided into Nine Grades. The gap between each grade isn’t massive, but it isn’t small either.

An ordinary True Immortal, without using extreme speed, can cover a thousand li in a single breath at most. But for one who has entered the ranks of the Grand Grade and can use the heaven-and-earth-bestowed phenomenon, the Golden Great Dao, a million or even ten million li is but a single step.

In other words, if the situation turned sour, Yan Huang could release his full power, and in his Grand Grade body, reach the Kongtong Mountain Range in a single step.

But if he were to go, the situation and its implications would be completely different. Sakata Heavy Industries and Aotao Organism would inevitably follow suit; the chairmen of those two conglomerates were each a Grand Grade as well.

If the three conglomerates went to all-out war, the entire Ancestor Star would likely be plunged into turmoil once again. And right now, the Demon Race was still eyeing them covetously from outside the pass. If internal strife broke out...

This was a scenario Yan Huang did not want to see, but if it truly came to that, he was not afraid.

Yan Huang narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Now... let’s see what kind of person emerges from behind that damned kid. If the Grand Grade from that day reappears, then everything should return to calm."
