Celestial Emperor of Shadow

Chapter 198: scene


As for the existence of this Falling Cangue Mountain's Demonic Palace, Yue Yang was not in the least bit surprised.

For thousands of years, there were numerous kingdoms in the Soaring Dragon Continent which had lost in the war for power, the ones who emerged victorious became kings and the ones who lost became bandits, with numerous adherent elderly persons and youngsters fleeing overseas. It was not surprising that they would form such an organisation to resist the Soaring Dragon Continent. However, that they had such immense power made Yue Yang a little suspicious. If they did not have [Innate] Rankers at their back supporting them, would a bunch of runaways who were defeated by their opponents have such immense strength that could pose a threat to the country of Tian Luo?

Everybody knew that the Tian Luo Kingdom was officially recognised as the strongest empire and its combined might was even above that of Da Xia and Zi Jin Kingdom.

Even compared to Zi Jin Empire whose citizens were war-crazed and revered military strength, Tian Luo was still a level higher.

Yue Yang thought back to their previous encounter with Elder Tian Suo in Da Xia Empire's clinic and the mercenary soldiers' mad spree today and became even more sure that there were turbulent undercurrents underlying the current Soaring Dragon Continent.

The poisoned soldiers of Da Xia Empire were the first to be targeted, in order to incite disharmony between the relations of Da Xia Empire and the Floating Mist Sect; Now, there is the incident of the Golden Ant Eggs, triggering the mercenary soldiers' mad spree, even leading to the ten thousand monsters surrounding the town tonight ... ...

It looked like there was definitely a powerful manipulator behind all these incidents who was pulling the strings.

Without the support of [Innate] Rankers or some powerful sect it was practically impossible to take on empires like Da Xia and Tian Luo!

To extend that thought a little, could it be that the tragic guy's father, Yue Qiu, who was the Yue Clan's most promising genius ranker, was actually killed by the Demonic Palace? Could the tragic guy's rejection of marriage and his suicide by jumping into the river be related to the Demonic Palace as well?

Also, Yi Nan seemed to bear hostility towards the Demonic Palace. It Looked like Wu Yi, Xie Huo and company were people from the Demonic Palace.

Especially Xie Huo who was able to summon forth the Demon King Ha Xin through the blood ritual. If he wasn't a corrupted being of the Demonic Palace, how would he have so much power?

Basically, there were a lot of issues that were still unclear. There was no truth and there was no answer.

Unless he went to search for and exposed the truth behind these matters ... ...

"General, the teleportation spell has been interrupted!" A loud gasp of surprise came from the teleportation circle. The flow of people who were continuously appearing from teleportation suddenly came to a halt. A black light pillar mysteriously floated above the teleportation circle, and the teleportation circle had temporarily broken down.

"What happened?" Chaos started to erupt amongst the people who had just teleported out.

"Hurricane Expel Noble Team, immediately return to the capital to request for help." Old General Ma's bushy eyebrows locked together even more profoundly as he urgently waved his arm to give his command.

Some of the guards behind him immediately dispersed. All of them raced to about a hundred meters away and opened up their Teleportation Scrolls. On seeing white light emerging prominently below them, the flying-type beasts in the sky immediately swooped downwards. Some of the corrupted beings who rode on the flying-type beasts continued to hide within the darkness and used their crossbows or longbows to shoot a torrent of arrows at these soldiers who were trying to return and ask for help.

Old General Ma swiped his arm and countless soldiers immediately raised their giant shields in a well-trained manner, defending their comrades against the arrows.

There were also archers who simultaneously raised their bows and shot arrows into the sky in the direction of their enemies.

The disperse-and-teleportat tactic that the Hurricane Team deployed successfully scattered the concentrated power of the enemy's attacks... At the same time, twenty teleportation pillars of light appeared in Hope Town.

There seemed to be quite a few soldiers, who had attempted to escape and to ask for reinforcements, that were shot by the strong enemies in the sky. Only a few soldiers managed to escape into the teleportation portal in time.

"The teleportation has failed, the space has been warped by the enemy." The official in charge of the Teleportation Circle had extremely abundant experience in his field. At one glance, he knew that the teleportation strategy did not entirely succeed. Even if there were some soldiers who successfully teleported away, the enemy had warped the space with certain Artifacts. The teleportation distance was perhaps at least a thousand li away from their intended destination. It was impossible to achieve their purpose of asking for reinforcements.

"..." When Old General Ma heard this, his face changed a little. But he remained calm and executed another command. "All soldiers defend, Hurricane Elites follow me to the frontlines!"

"Yes!" Hundreds of elite soldiers answered loudly, and gathered behind Old General Ma.

"Hurry retreat back to the house, a great war is about to erupt! Don't worry. I, I will protect all of you!" Even if the platoon leader was shivering in fear, but he still forced himself to remain calm, ushering Yue Yang and company back into the house. With a tall and sturdy body, he blocked the entrance of the house. Even the hand that was holding on to his weapon was shaking uncontrollably. When Yue Yang saw this, he did not know whether to laugh or be angry. How could he dare to say that he wanted to protect him with such lousy martial arts skills? Aa
