1017: Tangled

Tonight, the winds of Wanshou City were exceptionally boisterous.

The rumbling sounds faintly drifting from the extreme distance kept countless people in Wanshou City awake.

However, compared to ordinary people, the True Lords guarding Wanshou City from the Holy Lands, who already knew the truth, were not alarmed.

They merely sighed, feeling that True Lord Wang Chen truly harbored a deep hatred for the Dead Spirit Race; wherever he went, he would uproot their gathering places.

It must be said that there was a reason why True Lord Wang Chen possessed such formidable strength.

They were utterly convinced.

However, as the rumbling outside grew louder and the terrifying vibrations gradually affected Wanshou City, these True Lords from the Holy Lands became restless.

Especially when a thunderous roar, as if splitting heaven and earth, erupted, and a pillar of light that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth shot up into the night sky in the far distance, the True Lords guarding the Holy Lands, led by Thunder True Lord Yang Xin, had no choice but to appear outside Wanshou City once more.

“This, this, this…”

“True Lord Wang Chen is clashing with Kahn of the Dead Spirit Race again?”

“This commotion is too terrifying!!!”

“My heavens, is True Lord Wang Chen trying to uproot Dead Spirit Canglan City today?”

Gazing at the towering pillar of light erupting in the far distance, the True Lords guarding Wanshou City murmured in shock.

That terrifying power, even from such a great distance, caused an extremely strong sense of alarm to rise in their hearts; they feared that if they were caught in it, they wouldn’t even be able to protect themselves.

“No…”

“It’s not just True Lord Wang Chen fighting City Lord Kahn of Black Abyss City; there are more than two Late Stage Ninth-Order power fluctuations there!”

Just then, Thunder True Lord Yang Xin, who was about to join the ranks of those sighing, suddenly changed his expression, his pupils contracting and his face filled with disbelief.

His strength was the greatest among them, so his perception of the distant battle was also the strongest.

In his perception, the power fluctuations that gave him an extremely dangerous feeling were not two, but five!!

There were five powerhouses who had reached the Late Stage Ninth-Order battling there!

“What?”

“There are other Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouses?”

“Could it be that reinforcements sent by the Dead Spirit Race have arrived and are ambushing True Lord Wang Chen along with City Lord Kahn of Black Abyss City?”

After Thunder True Lord Yang Xin’s words fell, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding True Lords from other Holy Lands froze, and they spoke one after another in disbelief.

“That’s probably the case!”

Thunder True Lord Yang Xin nodded with a grim expression.

Although they were dispatched from the Holy Land, they were truly high-ranking officials within the Holy Land and could understand its movements.

In recent times, none of the Holy Lands had dispatched any Great True Lord-level powerhouses to the vicinity of Wanshou City.

Therefore, the three extra ones could only be Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouses of the Dead Spirit Race.

“Four Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouses ambushing True Lord Wang Chen? What should we do? Should we go help now?”

The True Lord guarding Taiyin Holy Land spoke with a hesitant tone.

His expression showed some fear, but at this moment, no one had any intention of mocking him.

Those were four Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouses, equivalent to Human Race Great True Lords!

Such a battle was completely beyond their imagination and not something they could intervene in.

Even the aftermath of the battle could probably severely injure or even kill them.

At this moment, fear was completely understandable; in comparison, the True Lord guarding Taiyin Holy Land asking whether they should help seemed a bit foolish.

“This kind of battle is not something we can intervene in!”

“However, True Lord Wang Chen is facing four Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouses of the Dead Spirit Race alone. We could pretend not to notice if we hadn’t, but since we’ve discovered it now, we absolutely cannot let him face such a perilous situation alone.”

“Otherwise, how would the world view us if this gets out?”

Thunder True Lord Yang Xin swept his gaze over the crowd and said through gritted teeth:

“First, send a message to the Holy Land, requesting the Great True Lord Seniors to come to rescue. We will observe the situation with the Water Mirror Art and slowly approach, to see if we can help.”

“Good!”

Hearing Thunder True Lord Yang Xin’s words, the other True Lords exchanged glances and finally gritted their teeth and nodded.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Soon, three True Lords jointly performed the Water Mirror Art. As soon as the huge water curtain appeared, the world-destroying battle scene immediately appeared on it.

Splash!

But the next second, just as the True Lords caught sight of the image on the water curtain, the water curtain exploded into fragments amidst a ripple.

“No!”

“The Heaven and Earth Qi in that entire area is too violent; we cannot probe the situation there with the Water Mirror Art at all.”

The three True Lords who performed the Water Mirror Art spoke with pale faces and a hint of fear in their voices.

Hearing their words, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding crowd also turned grim.

Unable to ascertain the situation there, if they rashly approached, they might be wiped out the moment they showed their heads.

However, at this moment…

“Logically speaking, the chaotic battle of five powerhouses equivalent to Great True Lords should cause world-destroying and terrifying commotion, and it should have already affected us here, but now the commotion there is only confined to a fixed area.”

At this point, the True Lord guarding Taiyin Holy Land frowned and said with some uncertainty:

“It seems that area must be sealed off and isolated from the surrounding Heaven and Earth, and did you see it in the image just now?”

“It seems a Dead Spirit powerhouse was killed by True Lord Wang Chen!”

He had just seen in that fleeting Water Mirror image that Wang Chen seemed to have stomped something into a bloody mist.

Hearing his words, the surrounding crowd exchanged glances, their faces filled with disbelief.

A Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouse of the Dead Spirit Race was killed by True Lord Wang Chen?

“It seems that one of the Late Stage Ninth-Order power fluctuations there is indeed missing?”

After a moment, Thunder True Lord Yang Xin, the strongest among them, closed his eyes to sense, then opened them, speaking with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

“This…”

“Impossible?!”

“True Lord Wang Chen now possesses the strength to directly slay a Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouse?”

“No, this is while being besieged by four Late Stage Ninth-Order powerhouses! To still be able to slay an enemy like this, just how strong is True Lord Wang Chen?”

The surrounding crowd, hearing this, reacted as if they had heard a tall tale, speaking in disbelief.

Meanwhile, the violent power fluctuations in the far distance continued to surge, and they were showing a tendency to become even more intense.

“Never mind!”

“Let’s go take a look!”

“We’ll just stay on the edge of the battlefield and see if we can help; we don’t necessarily need to intervene in the battle, so the danger isn’t that great.”

After Thunder True Lord Yang Xin carefully confirmed that one of the Late Stage Ninth-Order power fluctuations in the distance was indeed missing, he gritted his teeth and urged everyone to cautiously approach the area where the power was erupting.
