Chapter 194
Baek Mu-Gun and the two Saints entered and headed deeper into the Sun God Palaces campsite with no hesitation. They did not bother fighting the ordinary martial artists.
Were under attack!
Theyre trying to catch us by surprise!
Quickly finding the intruders, the martial artists standing guard blew a horn and shouted at the top of their lungs to alert the others. Those who heard them tried to somehow stop the three martial arts masters, but stopping a Supreme-Realm master with their skills was impossible. Running in the forefront, Mu-Gun activated the Thunder God's Heavenly Eyes and made his way to where he sensed the strongest energy source. Peng Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong followed right behind him.
Hearing the guards screams and the horn from their headquarters, Gu Pae-Cheon and Hyeok Ryeon-Pae realized that Mu-Gun and the two Saints had launched another surprise attack. Mu-Gun aside, the two Saints suffered considerable internal injuries earlier, which only made their sudden return all the more surprising. The two Divine Demons would not be able to stop all three if Peng Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong had completely recovered.
Their opponents split up earlier to pincer them, allowing Gu Pae-Cheon and Hyeok Ryeon-Pae to injure the two Saints before the Thunder Gods successor appeared. Now that the three were together, they would not be able to employ the same tactic anymore. Moreover, the Sun God Palaces Absolute-Realm masters, the Twelve Sun Generals, were no longer around, having been either killed or rendered unfit for combat by Mu-Guns Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst. The Sun God Palace only had the Sun God Monarch to help.
Even the demonic monarchs were not in their best condition due to the injuries they suffered from Mu-Guns Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst. They wouldnt be able to hold off three Supreme-Realm masters in their current condition. (f)reenovelkiss.com
We should retreat for now, Hyeok Ryeon-Pae said.
Pae-Cheon nodded, finding it the best course of action as well.
We dont have time. Lets hurry.
Pae-Cheon and Ryeon-Pae immediately left the headquarters and ordered the demonic monarchs, who were standing by outside, to retreat. Without question, the demonic monarchs followed them. If the Divine Demons ordered them to stand down, they wouldnt even think twice about doing it.
Please go ahead.
Pae-Cheon and Ryeon-Pae nodded and immediately departed. The Blood-Crazed Clans demonic monarchs followed behind Ryeon-Pae at once, while the Tyrant Cults demonic monarchs issued the Demonic Tyrant Battalion, their elite forces, an order to retreat before following as well. The Demonic Tyrant Battalion immediately did as instructed.
Realizing their allies had begun to run away, the Sun God Palace and the Blood Ring Gang could not help but be flustered. They were left hanging, unable to do anything. The Sun God Monarch trembled at the Tyrant Cults irresponsible demeanor, deeply regretting his decision to fall for their temptation to conquer the Central Plains. However, now that things had spiraled this far, it did not matter anymore. All they could do was flee as well.
Sun God Palace, retreat north! the Sun God Monarch shouted. In response, his men immediately began to flee north, and the Blood Ring Gang followed suit. He was worried that their opponents would chase them down, but his worries proved unneeded.
Seeing Mu-Gun and the two Saints focus on chasing after the Tyrant Cults demonic practitioners, the Sun God Palace and Blood Ring Gangs nervous martial artists breathed a sigh of relief.
Now was not the time to relax, though. Since there was no telling when their foes would come back and change targets, they had to run as far as they could before then. The Sun God Palace and the Blood Ring Gang ran north, never looking back.
Meanwhile, the Tyrant Cults elite forces immediately took action when Mu-Gun and the two Saints pursued them. They were no match for Supreme-Realm masters, but they did not expect to stop Mu-Gun and the two Saints anyway. Rather, they just wanted to buy some time for the two Divine Demons and the demonic monarchs to run away safely.
Break through!
Well aware of their plan, Mu-Gun refused to give them what they wanted. Holding the Flying Golden Shield in front of him, he activated the Thunder God's Shadow, enveloping him and the shield with a golden wave of lightning. He then shot forward like a ray of light, blasting away the demonic practitioners blocking his path like a ship splitting apart sea currents. Mu-Hwe and Huangfu Chong also fired a wave of vajra qi, helping clear the road ahead.
The three Supreme-Realm masters then ran at full speed, preventing the demonic practitioners from standing in their way. By the time they could try to stop the trio, the latter had already gone past them. After getting past the Demonic Tyrant Battalions obstruction, the three masters quickly resumed chasing Pae-Cheon and Ryeon-Pae, who were fleeing up front.
The Tyrant Cult and Blood-Crazed Clans demonic monarchs soon blocked their path. Like the demonic practitioners earlier, they knew they could not stop the three Supreme-Realm masters either. They just planned to sacrifice themselves to let the Divine Demons safely escape. Their willingness to put their lives on the line for the Divine Demons sake displayed their amazing loyalty.
Blocking the enemys path with all their might, the thirteen demonic monarchs sent vajra qi storming toward Mu-Gun and the two Saints. Even Supreme-Realm masters could not effortlessly block the vajra qi of Absolute-Realm masters. Moreover, their attacks were simultaneous and came from various directions.
Mu-Gun and his two allies slowed down. A thunderous roar echoed as the thirteen demonic monarchs vajra qi were shattered in one fell swoop. The resulting shockwave destroyed the protective vajra qi that they had enveloped themselves in and critically injured their insides.
Keugh!
Pushed back, the demonic monarchs groaned. Taking advantage of their momentary vulnerability, Mu-Gun and the two Saints closed in on them and attacked them. The brief delay allowed the two Divine Demons to run far away enough to no longer be visible, making it difficult to catch up to them. Hence, the trio decided to kill the demonic monarchs first, which was better than returning empty-handed.
The thirteen demonic monarchs defended themselves, unleashing as much vajra qi as they could, but their efforts were futile before the power of Supreme-Realm masters. Mu-Gun and the two others vajra qi easily smashed the demonic monarchs defenses and landed a direct hit.
The thirteen demonic monarchs were blasted away with blood gushing from all over. Reduced to a pile of mess, their corpses were left with either severed necks and limbs, gaping holes in their chests, or bashed-in heads and chests.
After killing the demonic monarchs, Mu-Gun and the two Saints chased after the Tyrant Demonic Battalion, which had scattered in every direction. Although nowhere near as powerful or important as the Divine Demons and the demonic monarchs, the Tyrant Demonic Battalion were also demonic practitioners. They had to be killed.
The Tyrant Demonic Battalions demonic practitioners desperately ran away, but they could not outrun the Supreme-Realm masters. As soon as the trio caught up with the demonic practitioners, they began slaughtering them. Mu-Gun and the two Saints showed no mercy. It was best to kill and eliminate the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, the very definition of evil.
The Tyrant Demonic Battalion initially focused on escaping. However, upon realizing that running away was futile, they turned around and chose to put their lives on the line and fight since they were already at deaths door anyway.
However, their desperate struggle did not make any difference. The three Supreme-Realm masters killed more than half of the Tyrant Demonic Battalion. Only a little over nine hundred managed to flee.
Having killed over a thousand of the two-thousand-strong Tyrant Demonic Battalion, Mu-Gun and the two Saints displayed the greatness of Supreme-Realm masters in this battle. They werent even exhausted yet. If they tried to chase after the fleeing demonic practitioners for as long as they could, they could probably kill another hundred or two. However, they decided against it since it would not really make a significant impact on the situation.
The trio did not bother to chase after the Sun God Palace or the Blood Ring Gang either. Cast away like dirt, those factions would no longer follow the Nine Celestial Demons Sect. Moreover, now that they had faced the power of the Central Plains murim, they would most likely give up on their conquest now and retreat.
While wiping out any possible source of trouble was the best course of action, the three masters did not have the intention to pursue people who were running away with their tails between their legs just to carry out a one-sided massacre.
Hence, Mu-Gun and the two Saints chose to end the battle here and headed back to the Northern Sky Branch, satisfied with only killing the demonic monarchs of the Tyrant Cult and the Blood-Crazed Clan.
* * *
The four Saints who departed from the Southern Sky Branch headed to Jiangxi Province. Upon reaching the border between Liling of Hunan Province and Yichun of Jiangxi Province, they then waited for the Nine Celestial Demons Sects faction, which moved within Jiangxi Province, to appear. This was one of the must-pass routes to Hunan Province. Hence, although the Nine Celestial Demons Sects faction could have taken a different path, if they wanted to attack the Great Ximen Family, which was at the Southern Sky Branch, they would likely pass by this route.
Staying at an inn, the Saints remained so calm that they seemed to have just come to sightsee. The Supreme-Realm masters could defeat any one of the Nine Celestial Demons Sects factions alone, so they could afford to be so easygoing.
Getting to do nothing but wait here is filling me with boredom, Ximen Zong, the Ximen Familys sovereign elder, said.
Isnt this no different from being cooped up in a small room back at your familys manor? Zhuge Wen, the Great Zhuge Familys sovereign elder, smiled bitterly.
Is that what you do back at your family home? Well, I do not live like that.
It allows me to drink every day and watch my great-grandchildren acting cute, Zhuge Wen said in delight.
They are certainly the joy of our later years.
Indeed. On another note, it seems that the disturbance the Nine Celestial Demons Sect caused this time will be easy to solve, wont it?
Jin Gwang-Cheon, the Guangdong Jin Familys sovereign elder, nodded. Tell me about it. I was worried at first, but I now think it will be surprisingly easy to deal with.
This is all thanks to the Thunder Gods successor discovering the traces of the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, Namgung Byeok, the Great Namgung Familys sovereign elder, mentioned. Without him, we would have suffered major losses before we even noticed it.
What is this? Are you trying to praise your grandson-in-law? Zhuge Wen teased.
He is still an outsider even though he is my grandson-in-law. I am just stating facts. Namgung Byeok snorted.
On that note, once we exterminate the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, the Thunder Gods successor will be our next problem, Ximen Zong opened.
Unlike the Heavenly Thunder Divine Sword, he has a formidable force behind him known as the Loyal Heart Alliance, Gwang-Cheon added. Considering he has done more than anyone else in preventing the Nine Celestial Demons Sects rampage, keeping him alive will shake the status and authority of the Seven Great Families.
Is that not why we plan to take him down with the Nine Celestial Demons Sect?
Yes, but given the circumstances, I doubt we will have a chance to do that.
The Seven Saints planned to get rid of Mu-Gun during their final battle against the Nine Celestial Demons Sects Demon Kings. However, since the Demon Kings were falling one after one, the Seven Saints and Baek Mu-Gun would most likely not get the opportunity to fight together.
Even if we dont have the chance to do it then, we have to create an opportunity to eliminate him, Zhuge Wen said with a sharp gaze.
That is difficult to accomplish. Under normal circumstances, even if we all join forces, it would be difficult for us to defeat the Thunder Gods successor.
If he calls forth the Thunder God, it will be definitely hard to take him down even with all our strengths combined.
Even so, we have to find a way.
Wait! Look at the people coming over from that side. They look suspicious. Ximen Zong pointed to the merchants approaching the inn.
They dont seem to be ordinary merchants. They give off an unusual aura.
Lets catch them for now before deciding what to do. Remain seated. I should be able to handle this alone. The Ximen Familys Ximen Zong stood up from his seat.
I was a step too late. I thought I could finally have some fun after so long, Gwang-Cheon grumbled. 𝓯𝙧𝒆𝒆𝔀𝒆𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Ximen Zong chuckled, then flew out the window.
