Chapter 2686: Chapter 870: Taking Over the Immortal City, Shock Among the Major Powers! (2)
...
At the same time, at a certain stronghold in Liang Country.
"What!? Red Peak Immortal City has fallen! Nether Moon has been captured?"
Although Red Peak Immortal City was taken by Lu Changsheng, not a single person escaped from the city.
But when the Fourth Rank Beast King was killed in an instant and the Nether Moon Saintess was suppressed, there were still some warning and plea-for-help messages that were sent out.
This information was delivered at the first possible moment to the Supreme Elder of Beast God Mountain, Nine Spirits True Monarch.
Nine Spirits True Monarch was extremely stunned by this news.
His first reaction was to doubt the accuracy of the information.
After all, he had just recently received a transmission from the Nether Moon Saintess.
She had informed him that Yangming True Monarch had arrived at Red Peak Immortal City.
And now, after such a short time, Red Peak Immortal City has already fallen?
And the Nether Moon Saintess has been captured.
This completely defied common sense.
However, as the Supreme Elder of Beast God Mountain, having seen many Nascent Soul Cultivators and countless events that defied logic and reason, Nine Spirits True Monarch immediately realized that this information was very likely true.
"Yellow Springs, Heavenly Silkworm, come back at once, do not go to Red Peak Immortal City!"
Nine Spirits True Monarch made a prompt decision, forced out a drop of Essence Blood, cast a Secret Technique, and activated an Emergency Transmission Jade Talisman to call back the Flood Dragon Saint Son and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch, who were heading toward Red Peak Immortal City.
Previously, when he had received the transmission from the Nether Moon Saintess informing him that Yangming True Monarch was coming, he had immediately notified the two, telling them to abandon Purple Light True Lord and go support Red Peak Immortal City first.
If the information he had just received was true—Red Peak Immortal City being lost in such a short time, and the Nether Moon Saintess captured—then it meant that Yangming True Monarch’s strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
He very likely possessed the combat power of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
If Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Yellow Springs True Monarch rushed over, not only would they be unable to help, they might even face fatal danger.
"Just what kind of mysterious powerhouse is this Yangming True Monarch?"
Nine Spirits True Monarch’s eyes were like copper bells, his tall and burly frame like that of a male lion.
He had always taken Yangming True Monarch very seriously.
Back then, in the battle at the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, many people had focused their attention on Azure Phoenix True Monarch, believing that Yangming True Master’s ability to reverse-slay a Nascent Soul cultivator relied entirely on Secret Techniques, Supreme Treasures, and Azure Phoenix True Monarch.
But through the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master’s matter, and Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s firsthand account, he knew very well that Yangming True Master was anything but simple.
He was highly likely a top-level Nascent Soul Cultivator who had undergone Possession Reincarnation.
And Mo Luo had also offered another speculation—that this person might be a top-level monstrous genius from the Central Domain Profound Sect, here to temper himself.
"Report this to the Upper Envoy!"
Nine Spirits True Monarch was extremely cautious.
He did not immediately move to rendezvous with the Flood Dragon Saint Son and Yellow Springs True Monarch, but instead informed Mo Luo of the matter.
After all, this Yangming True Monarch could break Red Peak Immortal City in such a short time and capture the Nether Moon Saintess alive. His strength was astonishing to the extreme; even if Nine Spirits himself went, he would not be a match.
Moreover, once the news reached Primordial True Monarch and Absolute Sword True Monarch, if they rushed over to support and besiege him, they might also face grave danger.
....
At this moment.
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and the Flood Dragon Saint Son, who were hurrying toward Red Peak Immortal City to support it, received the Emergency Transmission from Nine Spirits True Monarch.
When the Flood Dragon Saint Son saw the message, his expression changed drastically on the spot, realizing that the Nether Moon Saintess might be in danger.
After all, not long ago, the Supreme Elder had just notified them that Yangming True Monarch was heading to Red Peak Immortal City.
He had ordered them to rush over to support at full speed.
And now the Supreme Elder was sending an urgent transmission, telling them to hurry back and not to go to Red Peak Immortal City.
The Flood Dragon Saint Son immediately activated an Emergency Sensing Talisman he shared with the Nether Moon Saintess, waiting on pins and needles for her response.
However, one breath, two breaths, three breaths passed...
Seeing that the Nether Moon Saintess still did not respond, the Flood Dragon Saint Son’s chiseled face grew increasingly grim.
Then he turned toward the direction of Red Peak Immortal City and sped off.
"Yellow Springs, where are you going? The Supreme Elder ordered us to hurry back!"
Seeing this, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch immediately shouted loudly.
"Nether Moon is very likely in danger. I’m going to save her!"
The Flood Dragon Saint Son’s whole body was surging with Mana, sweeping up a First Layer of Yellow Springs Muddy Waves as he spoke without looking back, his voice tinged with a hint of manic killing intent.
"???"
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch knew very well how much the Flood Dragon Saint Son admired the Nether Moon Saintess.
But he had not expected that, for the Nether Moon Saintess, the latter would even ignore the Supreme Elder’s orders.
"Yellow Springs, the Supreme Elder transmitted an order for us to return. And Red Peak Immortal City is now very likely facing danger. If you rush over, you may run into danger, into an ambush!"
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch also realized that Red Peak Immortal City was very likely in peril.
Yet as soon as he said that, the Flood Dragon Saint Son only became more anxious, worried that his Goddess, his future wife, would be in danger.
"Yellow Springs!"
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch was at a complete loss seeing the Flood Dragon Saint Son like this.
Under other circumstances, he would choose to go with the Flood Dragon Saint Son to take a look, so at least they could watch each other’s backs.
But thinking of the fact that Yangming True Monarch was at Red Peak Immortal City, he truly did not dare go.
After all, back when the other party was only at the Core Formation Stage, he had already been able to fight him to a standstill.
Now that he had broken through to Nascent Soul, how could Heavenly Silkworm still be a match?
Yet facing the Flood Dragon Saint Son, he could not simply ignore him.
If something happened to the other, if he met with some mishap, Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch would find it hard to face Nine Spirits True Monarch.
Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch hurriedly cast a Secret Technique to send a transmission to Nine Spirits True Monarch, explaining the Flood Dragon Saint Son’s situation.
When Nine Spirits True Monarch received Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s transmission, his expression froze for a moment.
He thought to himself that he had completely forgotten about this point.
"Heavenly Silkworm, you and Fen Mo do your utmost to stop Yellow Springs. I’ll rush over immediately!"
Nine Spirits True Monarch made a prompt decision.
He knew that sending transmissions to the Flood Dragon Saint Son now was useless; he had to stabilize the situation.
Although, judging from the current analysis, that Yangming True Monarch’s strength was extremely frightening.
But no matter how terrifying, it should still be impossible for him to take care of three Nascent Soul Cultivators in such a short time, right?
As long as Nine Spirits himself rushed over at the first opportunity, he would be able to defuse the danger.
