CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 118: LETTER OF INTENT

After hearing Thunder Dragon’s words, Kui Bull and Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger both felt a pang of disappointment. They were merely at the Nirvana Realm, not even the Destiny Realm. With such a meager cultivation base, how could they possibly qualify to follow this Eternal Realm Elder?

The three of them hung their heads, sinking into despondent silence.

The great hall was eerily quiet.

CRACKLE...

The Big Black Horse closed its eyes, and its body suddenly emitted tiny golden lightning flashes. These flashes resembled countless tiny golden snakes, giving off an extremely terrifying Super Divine Dragon Breath.

The Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain trembled with fear.

"This golden lightning is so terrifying! Thankfully, the Elder is an Eternal Realm Great Demon; otherwise, beings like us would have been blasted to pieces by this lightning..." Thunder Dragon remarked, still shaken.

"Big brother, we can’t hold on anymore!" Unable to endure any longer, Kui Bull and Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger hurriedly flew out of the hall. They sat cross-legged at the entrance, circulating their cultivation techniques to resist the encroaching golden lightning.

Thunder Dragon, however, did not leave. As a Destiny Realm Great Demon, he could still hold out for a while longer.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Thunder Dragon was surprised to discover that by unintentionally absorbing a tiny amount of the golden lightning’s Super Divine Dragon Breath, his Thunder and lightning ability had actually strengthened somewhat.

"My two virtuous brothers, hurry back! Don’t miss such a wonderful opportunity!" Thunder Dragon quickly sent a mental message, forcefully summoning Kui Bull and Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger back.

The three great demons sat cross-legged, electrical currents flowing across their bodies, and began to absorb the faint golden lightning Super Divine Dragon Breath emanating from the Big Black Horse.

The Big Black Horse was fully aware of what was happening outside but did not intervene. This tiny bit of Super Divine Dragon Breath it leaked wouldn’t affect it in the slightest. The strand of mysterious golden lightning bestowed upon it by the Master was simply too precious. The Big Black Horse estimated that after it refined this lightning, not only would its cultivation realm greatly increase, but its Thunder and lightning ability would also become incomparably stronger than before.

「...」

Seeing his disciples and Divine Pet all enter a state of cultivation, Ye Yun, observing from the void, allowed himself a faint smile. Things will be quiet for a few days. Those disciples who escaped from the three major Sects will definitely report back to their Sects. At that point, the three major Sects will likely dispatch experts at least at the Nirvana Realm to the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range. Ye Yun didn’t plan to intervene. Such minor matters could be handled by the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain. After all, this place is also a sacred ground for the Demon Clan. No matter how powerful the three major Sects are, they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly here.

Now, Ye Yun had his three disciples cultivate in the Thunder Pool for a period. Once their Ancestral Dragon Bloodline had improved to a certain degree, they would leave the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range and continue their training.

「...」

「The Qitian Sword Sect.」

Three heavily injured disciples staggered back to the Sect in a wretched state. They met with the Sect Master of the Qitian Sword Sect and reported everything that had happened in the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range.

The Sect Master of the Qitian Sword Sect was enraged. He immediately dispatched several Nirvana Realm Cultivators to the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range to find that young pair.

The sole surviving disciple from the Yu Mo Sect also made his way back to his Sect. When the Sect Master of the Yu Mo Sect learned that all nineteen Disciples of Heaven’s Pride from his sect had perished, he flew into a terrible rage. He immediately sent more than a dozen Nirvana Realm Cultivators to the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range to hunt down the young boy and girl.

The Shen Heng Sect reacted similarly.

At this moment, all three major Sects dispatched their Nirvana Realm experts, totaling twenty to thirty individuals. In the eyes of the three major Sects, dealing with two Divine Bridge Realm Cultivators with such a formidable and numerous lineup was considered effortless. They believed that as long as the pair was found, they could be killed on the spot.

Over twenty Nirvana Realm experts from the three major Sects met coincidentally at the periphery of the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range. This time, the three major Sects, united by a common enemy and burning with aggressive momentum, stormed into the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range together.

They employed various tracking-type magical artifacts, searching deep into the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range for the whereabouts of that young pair. After traveling thousands of miles along the mountain range for several days, they still hadn’t found them.

"Could that young pair have gone to the Thunder Pool?" an Elder from the Qitian Sword Sect, a Nirvana Realm expert, said with furrowed brows.

"Unlikely. The Thunder Pool is the territory of the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain. Even ordinary Demon Clan members wouldn’t dare to trespass, let alone two Human Race Cultivators!" an Elder from the Shen Heng Sect replied, shaking his head.

"Keep searching! Even if we have to turn the entire Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range upside down, we must find the murderers who killed our Yu Mo Sect’s Disciples of Heaven’s Pride!" an Elder from the Yu Mo Sect roared angrily, leading the Demon Sect members and charging deeper into the range.

The Nirvana Realm experts from the three major Sects searched for several more days. They were now within a hundred miles of the Thunder Pool, yet there was still no trace of the young boy and girl.

「Meanwhile.」

They had already contacted their Sects, mobilizing all their forces to search for that young pair throughout the entire Shenfeng Dynasty. However, no news came from the outside either. It was as if the young pair had vanished from the face of the earth.

"If all else fails, should we pay a visit to the Thunder Pool?" an Elder from the Qitian Sword Sect suggested.

"Very well!" The Nirvana Realm experts from the other two Sects nodded in agreement.

At that moment, they had no other choice. They wouldn’t rest until they had thoroughly searched the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range. They believed that with all three major Sects arriving together, the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain would have to take them seriously. After all, this tragic incident had occurred within the Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range. As the masters of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, the three Demon Saints also had an obligation to assist in their investigation.

More than twenty Nirvana Realm experts quickly arrived outside the Accumulated Thunder Palace.

"The three major Sects of the Shenfeng Dynasty request an audience with the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain!" an Elder from the Shen Heng Sect stood at the palace gate, cupped his fists, and shouted loudly.

The Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, who were in the midst of their cultivation, were abruptly interrupted by the shout and felt a surge of annoyance.

The Big Black Horse, its eyes closed, emitted a majestic voice, "You should know what to do, right?" It sat upright, its entire body radiating fine arcs of lightning, exuding an aura of profound sanctity and inviolability.

The Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain were startled. They exchanged glances, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck them; they instantly knew what to do. That young pair of Heaven’s Chosen are disciples of the Master! They killed the Disciples of Heaven’s Pride from the three major Sects, and now those Sects’ Nirvana Realm Cultivators have come knocking. Isn’t this a perfect opportunity for us, the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, to prove ourselves? We were just wondering how to present our pledge of fealty, and now the chance has arrived! What better pledge of fealty could there be than to directly kill these Nirvana Realm Cultivators from the three major Sects?

A look of excitement spread across Thunder Dragon’s face. With a wave of his hand, he led Kui Bull and Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger out, their demeanor imposing.

The waiting Nirvana Realm Cultivators from the three major Sects saw the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain emerge and quickly cupped their fists in salute. "Greetings to the Three Saints!"

Thunder Dragon walked at the forefront, his expression cold as he looked at these Nirvana Realm Cultivators.

Kui Bull, beside him, asked loudly, "Why have so many of you from the three major Sects come here, causing such a ruckus in our Accumulated Thunder Mountain Range? Do you have no respect for us, the Three Saints of Accumulated Thunder Mountain?"

Dark Lightning Thunder Tiger also roared angrily, "I think you’ve all grown audacious, daring to cause trouble right under our noses! Are you all tired of living?"
