Chapter 2665 - 2668: Purple Thunder General and the Ten Demon Envoys

It's known that the four generals of the Thunder Corps fell within the Ten Absolute Formations.

If the royal family wishes to attack the Eight Immortals County City again, they naturally need to think it over carefully.

Ling Xiao, however, didn't care about this.

What he was considering now was his own advancement and the true augmentation of the strength of Eight Immortals County City.

A day, two days, ten days...

The people from Thunder City had already sent many to check the status of Eight Immortals County City.

This time, they only sent scouts, not daring to attack rashly.

The scouts arrived outside the Eight Immortals County City and found that it was still drenched in endless rain.

The trees surrounding the city had grown to dozens of meters tall, and the whole city seemed as if it was about to vanish from the mortal world.

Yet the aura of the entire city became increasingly strong, instilling fear, as if a fearsome giant beast resided there, flawless and daunting.

The most surprising thing was that even ordinary birds that used to fly over the city transformed into powerful monsters upon contact with the rain.

The scouts reported these details back to Thunder City.

"This isn't good. Ling Xiao must be up to some mischief again. We can't let him continue like this, or the strength of Eight Immortals County City will only grow!"

The first to receive the scouts' report was naturally Thunder Venerate, the second in command of the Chen Dynasty.

The Thunder Emperor remained in seclusion, oblivious to the external happenings.

The Thunder Emperor's special unit is a state secret of Chen.

Besides the Thunder Emperor and Thunder Venerate, even the princes are unaware.

Of course, Thunder Venerate didn't believe the scouts entirely, so he shot through the air, transforming into a bolt of lightning, arriving outside Eight Immortals County City.

From above, Eight Immortals County City appeared like a mysterious Cultivation Holy Land, arousing envy and excitement.

Thunder Venerate attempted to approach but suddenly, a massive beast emerged from the void.

The beast's true form was unclear, but its colossal body lingered within the clouds.

The giant beast soared into the sky.

The Ten Absolute Formations activated instantly.

Before Thunder Venerate entered the formation, he was directly attacked by ten assaults from the sky.

He was undoubtedly powerful, dodging the ten attacks, but was then slapped several kilometers away by the giant beast, even destroying a mountain.

Thunder Venerate felt a chilling dread, knowing that things might have spiraled out of control.

It's impossible to kill Ling Xiao by forcefully attacking Eight Immortals County; the only way is to lure him out and then slay him.

"Contact the Shadow Sect!"

The first thing Thunder Venerate did upon returning to Chen Dynasty's Thunder City was to find Purple Thunder General.

Purple Thunder General, also a royal member, ranked fourth in open power among Chen's martial artists.

And only the Thunder Emperor and Thunder Venerate knew that Purple Thunder General was secretly the Shadow Sect's chief agent in Chen.

Managing all the Shadow Sect's affairs in Chen.

Once, Eight Immortals County City's Shadow Sect branch was eradicated by Ling Xiao alone, and Purple Thunder General was furious when the news reached Thunder City.

However, since the Shadow Sect operated secretly, he could not openly go against Ling Xiao.

Besides, he was then leading troops to encircle the Demon Dragon Sect and had no interest in him.

After all, to him, the threat of the Demon Dragon Sect far exceeded that of the insignificant Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao back then was nothing but a minor nuisance, insignificant.

But Purple Thunder General did not expect that his initial disregard allowed that small fry to grow to such a terrifying degree today.

Not only did he kill the Eighth Prince and the Second Prince, but he even annihilated Boye Chen.

The boy's power became so formidable that even he felt apprehensive.

Especially Ling Xiao's array formation abilities; there wasn't a second person in the entire Chen Dynasty who could rival him.

It's terrifying.

Fortunately, he controlled the Shadow Sect.

The disciples of the Shadow Sect were the most ruthless and terrifying group in Chen.

These people were lawless, priding on building their happiness on others' pain.

Moreover, they were not only wicked but also highly talented.

Among them were some highly skilled at breaking formations.

After listening to Thunder Venerate, Purple Thunder General dispatched the Ten Demon Envoys from the Shadow Sect's Chen branch and those adept at formations to Eight Immortals County City to find a strategy to break the formation.

They believed that once the Ten Absolute Formations were cracked, Eight Immortals County City would fall without a fight.

Upon reaching Eight Immortals County City, the Ten Demon Envoys gathered on a nearby mountain peak.

The mountain wind blew against their long robes, and the ten exuded menacing energy, their blood-red powerful energy obliterating all life within dozens of miles.

These guys were terrifyingly powerful.

Not the kind of opponents Ling Xiao had faced before; Ling Xiao needed utmost caution to handle them.

"What's the situation? Is this anomaly in Eight Immortals County City truly caused by Ling Xiao?

Could it not be a terrifying entity of the Life-taking Realm?"

"Impossible. There's not a single Life-taking Realm entity in the entire Chen Dynasty; how could Eight Immortals County City use one?

Blood Demon Envoy, what do you think?"

This being referred to as the Blood Demon Envoy had striking blood-red long hair.

His eyes were perpetually blood-red, and behind him floated a blood-red infant.

It should be his Martial Soul, yet it was strangely eerie.

His prowess had reached the early Eleventh Layer of Hell of the First Cycle of Yin-Yang Realm.

Far beyond what those Thunder Corps generals could provoke.

"Are you scared?"

The Blood Demon Envoy sneered, "Even if there truly is a Life-taking Realm entity, given our capability, annihilating Eight Immortals County City shouldn't be impossible.

That brat killed many from our Shadow Sect, even my own son.

Without avenging him, how can I face meeting him in dreams?

And how can we uphold the prestige of our Shadow Sect!"

"Indeed, kill, kill all the martial artists of Eight Immortals County City!"

"Heh, given our ability, those useless martial artists can't compare. If willing, making Eight Immortals County City a hell on earth would be easy!"

"But now, breaking the formation is crucial. Without breaking the formation, entering Eight Immortals County City is impossible."

"Sorry, lords, we can't break the Ten Absolute Formations. The formation books lack description of these ten formations. We have no clue how it was arranged."

At this moment, a few of the Shadow Sect disciples proficient in formations spoke tremblingly.

"A bunch of garbage! Of what use are you!"

In violent anger, the Blood Demon Envoy waved his hand, and a terrifying blood mist engulfed them entirely.

In an instant, the poor guys' bodies were fully corroded, eventually leaving only their skin, their bones crushed.

"Let's go back to the Shadow Sect. I heard the Volcano Kingdom has those better at breaking formations; let's get reinforcements.

To kill Ling Xiao, breaking the Ten Absolute Formations is essential, or it'll be a big hassle."

The Blood Demon Envoy said coldly.
