Chapter 2312 Killing Emperor Ancestors

Chapter 2312 Killing Emperor Ancestors

The night sky was as dark as ink.

After walking out from the mountain entrance, Battle Emperor Chiheng suddenly released a deep sigh and said, "Feiling, with the sect master and the seven Emperor elders dead, our sect has lost forty percent of its Emperor experts from this incident alone..."

Feiling's eyes flickered. "What does Brother Chiheng wish to say?"

Chiheng replied in a thoughtful tone, "The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect is currently leaderless. Although the Supreme Elder has taken charge for now, we will sooner or later have to appoint a new sect leader after dealing with Lin Daoyuan."

Feiling’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Do you wish to be the sect master?"

Chiheng chuckled and said, "I lack the qualifications. Never mind, it won't be too late to discuss this matter after we’ve dealt with that punk Lin Daoyuan."

Feiling sighed. "Now isn’t the time to worry about who will become the sect master, but..."

"But what?"

"Our Holy Illumination Ancient Sect suffered heavy losses in the battle on Blood Dome Mountain. Brother Chiheng, do you really think Lin Daoyuan is that easy to deal with?"

"How can he survive with the Supreme Elder in command?"

"It might be possible to kill him, but I feel our Holy Illumination Ancient Sect will have to pay a horrifying price to kill a supreme Emperor like him..."

Chiheng's expression turned cloudy and uncertain. After some time, he forced a smile and said, "Don't worry too much. No matter how powerful Lin Daoyuan is, how can he destroy our Holy Illumination Ancient Sect?"

He took a deep breath, quickly glanced around, and continued, "Even if we take a step back and consider a situation where we somehow reach the end of our rope, we only need to hide in the sect to be safe!"

"Is that so?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

Chiheng and Feiling froze in terror. Their hair stood on end as they tried to move but it was already too late.

In the wake of the voice, a dog paw soundlessly arrived.

Thud! Thud!

With two muffled thuds, Chiheng and Feiling convulsed and fainted. Before they could fall from the air, Big Yellow grabbed one with each paw and quickly flew away.

"What was that?"

A surprised shout suddenly rang out from the mountain entrance. Two figures flew out, accompanied by bright dao light which burned like torches in the night.

Big Yellow’s eyes narrowed slightly and it abruptly turned to rush at them.

However, a figure hidden in the darkness beat him to the punch, lunging as soon as the two new figures appeared.

Thud! Thud!

Two muffled thuds sounded again and the two Emperors who had just emerged were knocked unconscious.

The one who had taken action was Lin Xun.

He stuffed the captives into the Dao Endless Pagoda and glared at Big Yellow, "How can you make a noise while camping for them to appear?"

Big Yellow answered in embarrassment, "I promise it won’t happen again next time!"

However, the commotion had already alerted the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect disciples stationed in the vicinity and they began to question, "Which esteemed one is out there?"

As a key area of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, the area was covered with numerous restrictions and checkpoints which functioned together like an inescapable net. For countless years, no enemy had dared to invade.

Therefore, upon noticing the unusual disturbance, the disciples’ first reaction wasn’t panic, but suspicion.

"Do I need to report to you lot when I go out?"

Lin Xun's appearance quietly changed, taking on the form of one of the captured Emperors. He even perfectly imitated the voice, displaying the arrogant pressure of a superior.

"Oh, it’s Elder Qingqu. Please forgive us for our ignorance!" The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect disciples immediately displayed respectful expressions upon seeing Lin Xun.

"You’re dismissed." Lin Xun waved and walked away.

No suspicion was aroused from start to end.

Only after returning to the Heaven Slaughtering Dao Severing Array set up by Little Five did Lin Xun and Big Yellow release the captured prisoners.

Big Yellow personally interrogated them and soon extracted some information from Chiheng, Feiling and the other two.

"To think he intends to destroy Copper Sparrow House to force you out. Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong's methods are vicious indeed!"

Big Yellow's eyes gleamed coldly. "Kid, what should we do next?"

Lin Xun pondered for a moment and said, "We’ll continue camping here. Also, it won’t hurt to pass on the news to Earth Treasury Realm. Like Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong said, it will be best if they can dispatch some Emperor Ancestors here."

"Excellent idea!"

Big Yellow's eyes shone brightly.

No matter the outcome, the attack on the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect was bound to immediately alarm the Earth Treasury Realm and put them on high alert.

However, if this opportunity was used to lure a few more key individuals from Earth Treasury Realm to Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, Lin Xun could wipe them out in one fell swoop!

Lin Xun instructed, "Big Yellow, I’ll leave this task to you. Make sure not to reveal your identity."

Big Yellow readily agreed and set off that same night.

......

Time passed and two days quickly went by.

Over these two days, the battle of Blood Dome Mountain spread to every corner of the Ancient Nebula Underworld and caused a huge stir!

Since Copper Sparrow House’s decline, Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and Earth Treasury Realm had basically become the supreme rulers of Ancient Nebula Underworld.

Hence, the battle of Blood Dome Mountain felt as shocking as poking a hole in the sky!

Emperor Daoyuan!

He was an existence that was already treated like a legend and had single handedly sent a devastating blow to the two titans!

As the leader of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, Yu Kunzi’s death only served to propel Lin Xun’s fame to greater heights, causing countless experts to tremble in fear.

While the world was in turmoil, countless gazes were directed towards Earth Treasury Realm and Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

After all, wouldn’t these two titans retaliate after suffering such a heavy blow?

Sure enough, the news soon spread.

"The Supreme Elder of Holy Illumination Ancient Sect declares that if Emperor Daoyuan doesn’t come to Holy Illumination Ancient Sect to atone for his crimes within ten days, Copper Sparrow House will be exterminated!"

"Holy Illumination Ancient Sect also invites the Emperor Ancestors of Earth Treasury Realm to Holy Illumination Ancestral Mountain to discuss how to deal with Emperor Daoyuan!"

These two pieces of earth-shattering news sent shockwaves across the world, stirring up an even greater uproar.

Ten days!

Was this an ultimatum for Emperor Daoyuan?

Everyone had a premonition that a huge battle against Emperor Daoyuan would take place in front of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect’s base in ten days!

Not long after, news spread from Earth Treasury Realm that they would send three Emperor Ancestors to visit Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

Although they said they were visiting, everyone knew that they were there to provide support!

Soon, the identities of these three Emperor Ancestors were also confirmed.

They were Emperor Ancestor Daxu, Kuming and Duchen.

Each of them could be described as a living fossil who had been with Earth Treasury Realm since the ancient era. Although countless years had passed, the rumors about them still elicited utmost respect and awe.

Meanwhile, Lin Xun, who had been hiding near Holy Illumination Ancestral Mountain, observed many Holy Illumination Ancient Sect disciples returning from all over with various reports.

He also saw numerous Holy Illumination Ancient Sect experts exit the mountain gate.

However, not a single Emperor could be found among them.

This left Lin Xun somewhat regretful. After all, only Emperor experts were worth targeting in his eyes.

"They’re coming!"

After two days, Big Yellow hurriedly returned with news that the three Earth Treasury Realm Emperor Ancestors, Daxu, Kuming, and Duchen, would arrive at Holy Illumination Ancient Sect today.

"Only three?" Lin Xun frowned.

Big Yellow said, "That’s quite a lot already. After all, there are only a handful of Emperor Ancestors among the Three Dark Giants. It’s a big deal for Earth Treasury Realm to dispatch three Emperor Ancestors this time."

Lin Xun nodded in understanding.

𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Come to think of it, while it was true that ancient orthodoxies like Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and Earth Treasury Realm could rule the Ancient Nebula Underworld, there was still a substantial gap between them and factions such as the Four Great Primordial Clans. This disparity was evident from how many Emperor Ancestors each possessed.

"What should we do next?" Big Yellow rubbed its paws together in anticipation.

Lin Xun's eyes gleamed coldly as he said, "Big Yellow, what do you think of killing these three Emperor Ancestors before they get here?"

Big Yellow replied, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop those three old bald donkeys alone..."

Lin Xun interjected, "Xi will accompany you."

Big Yellow slapped its thighs and grinned, "Then no problem!"

"Okay, let's do that then."

Lin Xun decided.

Soon after, Big Yellow and Xi quietly left.

......

Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

In the main hall, the youthful-looking Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong frowned and asked, "It’s been two days, why haven't we heard anything from Chiheng and Feiling?"

The bigwigs looked at each other, also confused.

Someone thoughtfully said, "Perhaps the two elders are busy with the Copper Sparrow House matter?"

"But there’s also still no news about how things are going with Copper Sparrow House."

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong's eyes glowed with a chilling light. "Send someone to investigate."

Someone immediately left to carry out his instruction.

Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong continued, "If things proceed as scheduled, the three Emperor Ancestors of Earth Treasury Realm will arrive today. Once they’re here, we will be more confident in dealing with Lin Daoyuan."

Toward the end, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

The bigwigs present also grew excited.

Although Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong was laughing, he knew that the only question now was whether Lin Daoyuan would come after learning the news!

In other words, no matter how many preparations they made, it would all be in vain if the enemy didn’t come.

Late at night, the three Emperor Ancestors of Earth Treasury Realm still hadn’t arrived.

This made Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong and others who had been waiting frown. The three Emperor Ancestors should have arrived long ago given their speed.

Did something happen on their way here?

Time passed bit by bit. When the light of dawn tore through the night and a new day arrived, a hint of gloom had emerged between the brows of Emperor Ancestor Yuzhong and others.

They had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Sure enough, the bad news quickly arrived.

The three Emperor Ancestors, Daxu, Kuming and Duchen, were ambushed on their way to Holy Illumination Ancient Sect. Not a single one of them managed to escape or survive!
