"This..."
The expressions of the Nirvana Realm cultivators from the three great sects suddenly turned ugly. They never dreamed that the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain would immediately put them in their place upon appearing.
"Three Demon Saints, more than forty of our Disciples of Heavenās Pride from the three great sects have died! This grudge cannot go unanswered. The murderer is still in the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range, and we must find them. Otherwise, our three great sects will never let this matter rest!" an Elder from the Shen Heng Sect declared unapologetically, his eyes flashing. As the foremost of the three great sects, the Shen Heng Sect was the most powerful and also had Destiny Realm cultivators within its ranks. When it came to true strength, the overall power of the Shen Heng Sect absolutely surpassed that of Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
"Never let it rest?" Thunder Dragon took a step forward, his hands behind his back, and looked at the crowd coldly. His vertical pupils emitted a startling killing intent. "You three great sects are quite audacious, daring to threaten me. I think youāre seeking death!"
With that, Thunder Dragon reached out and gripped the throat of the Shen Heng Sect Elder. A tremendous pressure from the Destiny Realm instantly descended. The Elder, who was at the fourth level of the Nirvana Realm, found himself unable to move. He watched helplessly as Thunder Dragon seized his neck and brutally twisted it.
CRACK!
His entire head was wrenched off. Blood gushed skyward from the stump of his neck. Although the Elder was dead, as a powerful figure in the Nirvana Realm, his strong body still stood firmly on the ground, blood continuously spurting out. The sight was incredibly terrifying.
All the Nirvana Realm powerhouses from the three great sects were stunned. They hadnāt expected Thunder Dragon, a great demon of the Destiny Realm, to actually dare to kill. They were the three great sects! Combined, they could completely crush Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
"Damn you, Thunder Dragon! How dare you kill someone from our three great sects! You must be looking to die!" an Elder from the Qitian Sword Sect roared, angrily drawing his sword.
Seeing the Elderās threatening words, Thunder Dragonās face darkened further. Accumulated Thunder Mountain might have been insignificant in the past, but things were different now.
"Iāve had enough of you three great sects for a long time! Today is the perfect day to settle old scores and new!" the Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger, known for its volatile temper, roared in anger and dashed toward the Qitian Sword Sect Elder. In mid-air, it transformed into its true form, its massive body whipping up a raging wind. With a single slap, it shattered the Elder, who was at the Nirvana Realm Third Level.
Only then did the other Nirvana Realm powerhouses realize what was happening. They finally understood that the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain had no regard for the dignity of the three great sects and had begun a reckless slaughter. They immediately scattered and fled in all directions. The Kui Bull also revealed its true form and chased after them.
Thunder Dragon sneered, his hands still behind his back, as bolts of lightning shot from his eyes. These lightning bolts were incredibly powerful and moved at an unbelievable speed. Many Nirvana Realm cultivators were instantly obliterated upon being struck.
The battle ended quickly. None of the twenty-odd Nirvana Realm cultivators from the three great sects managed to escape; all of them perished there.
The Kui Bull and Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger flew back and reverted to their human forms.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers!" Thunder Dragon smiled and nodded, then turned and walked back into the main hall.
"Senior, are you satisfied with this outcome?" Thunder Dragon asked respectfully, his hands clasped.
"Itās acceptable, I suppose..." The Big Black Horse opened its eyes, glanced at the three of them, and grinned.
These three are quite clever, understanding my intentions. They obliterated the people from the three great sects as soon as they acted. Not a bad job at all.
A look of unease crossed Thunder Dragonās face. He took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to ask, "Senior, do you happen to need a young demon by your side to serve tea and run errands?"
"Serve tea and run errands?" The Big Black Horse flashed a grin and laughed heartily. Slapping its chest, it said, "Iām just an old horse pulling a carriage. How could I be qualified to have you serve tea and run errands?"
"Senior..." Thunder Dragon, Kui Bull, and Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger were all startled and hastily dropped to their knees. They thought their words might have offended the senior.
"Donāt be afraid. What I said is true. I just pull a carriage for the Master; thereās no doubt about that. Iām sure youāve seen the black carriage before..." the Big Black Horse chuckled dismissively.
Hearing the seniorās words, the faces of Thunder Dragon and the others turned ashen. The thought of pledging allegiance vanished instantly.
Even this senior-level demon of the Eternal Realm is resigned to pulling a carriage, what use could three little demons like us be?
The Big Black Horse looked at their depressed faces and laughed heartily. "Donāt forget, there are also the three young masters! They just received the Masterās Beast Control Bracelets and are planning to gather some demon beasts. When the time comes, Iāll talk to them and have them take you three in as well!"
Thunder Dragon and the others were overjoyed. "Thank you, Senior..." The three of them kowtowed repeatedly, their faces filled with profound joy.
All three of them knew about Leizeās situation. If they could be taken under the young mastersā wings, it would be their supreme honor. As long as they fought bravely and diligently protected the young masters, they would eventually receive rewards from the Master.
The more Thunder Dragon, Kui Bull, and Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger thought about it, the happier they became.
"Having drunk so much of your wine, donāt blame Uncle Ma for not warning you!" The Big Black Horse chuckled mischievously.
"Senior, please enlighten us!" Thunder Dragon and the others immediately cupped their fists and bowed deeply.
Picking its teeth, the Big Black Horse sneered, "Donāt get too ahead of yourselves. Have you seen that Big Black Cat? It fought life-and-death battles to achieve what it has today!"
"We understand, Senior!" The three great demon beasts took a deep breath, their expressions turning solemn.
In this world, there was no such thing as a free lunch. Although they would temporarily gain a powerful backer, they had to strive desperately to obtain better resources.
Seeing that the three had understood, the Big Black Horse glared. "The wine is all gone! Hurry up and bring more!"
"Senior, please wait a moment!" Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Thunder Dragon disappeared in a flash. He returned within a few breaths, holding a pile of wine jars. These wine jars had been sealed deep underground, preserved for hundreds of years. All of them contained exquisite wine. The Big Black Horse uncorked a wine jar, took a sip, and a look of intoxication spread across its face.
Everything that transpired within the Accumulated Thunder Palace had long been observed by Ye Yun. He was quite pleased with the Big Black Horseās actions. Back then, when he granted the Beast Control Bracelets to Luo Li and Jun Moxiao, it was with the hope that they would gather more demon beasts in the future. After all, ten thousand years ago, the Dragon God Sect was a place where countless demon beasts came to pay homageāa scene too magnificent to be adequately described by any words.
Although the Nirvana Realm experts from the three great sects had perished in the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range, some cultivators managed to send news back to their sects before dying. The Sect Masters of the three great sects were all enraged!
ćFor a moment.ć
The entire Shenfeng Dynasty was beset by storms and thundering gales. The three great sects mobilized their forces, summoning their Supreme Elders from reclusive cultivation one by one.
ćThis time.ć
The Shen Heng Sect dispatched two Supreme Elders at the First Layer of Heavenās Will Realm. The Qitian Sword Sect and the Yu Mo Sect each dispatched one Supreme Elder from the Destiny Realm. These Supreme Elders had cultivated painstakingly for nearly a thousand years.
