Chaotic Sword God

Immortal Emperor He Yu sighed gently and did not answer the question. Instead, he changed the topic. “Let’s head up for now. Once we save Jun Tianyi, we’ll leave here immediately. The arrangements we made outside won’t keep them busy for too long.”

Immortal Emperor He Yu left this place with the two Immortal Emperors from the Jun family, returning to the space above.

Rumbles currently rang out in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants endlessly. Mountains were destroyed one after another.

Meanwhile, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants could only watch helplessly as the mountains were destroyed, as they failed to find anything with the senses of their soul.

At this moment, the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants gathered together. Their faces had all darkened.

“Don’t tell me they’ve infiltrated our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants just to destroy some mountains that aren’t very important? What exactly is their objective?” a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants said sternly.

Sure enough, the mountains that had been destroyed were not of particularly great value to the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. They could only be regarded as some normal peaks.

That was because all of the important mountains were protected by powerful formations. Destroying them was not easy.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out from the horizon. A plume of fire rushed into the air in a certain part of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, radiating with terrifying heat. Afterwards, a fiery-red ring of light rushed off into the surroundings with the terrifying force to destroy everything. Wherever it passed by, all of the vegetation was incinerated.

“It’s the Skyfire Volcano. Dammit, they’ve actually destroyed the stability of the Skyfire Volcano and made it erupt…” The expressions of the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants all changed when they saw the plume of fire.

“Quick, suppress the Skyfire Volcano and stop its eruption!”

“Quick, activate the protective formation of the Skyfire Volcano. Suppress the Skyfire Volcano regardless of the cost!”

The leaders of the four branches roared furiously.

In the next moment, all of the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs flew towards the Skyfire Volcano.

At the same time, a formation rose up and enveloped the entire Skyfire Volcano, preventing the skyfire from leaking out.

A great group of Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors gathered around the formation, channelling their energy into the formation to strengthen its might.

However, right when the eruption of the first Skyfire Volcano was about to be suppressed, another plume of fire erupted with a great rumble in another direction.

The second Skyfire Volcano had also been activated.

The expressions of the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants changed drastically once again.

“The Skyfire Volcanoes directly affect the sect’s supply of spiritual Qi. We can’t afford to lose them! Immediately send another group of people to suppress it!”

“Who is it? Who’s bored enough to go to such great lengths to infiltrate our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants just to cause superficial damage?”

The great elders of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants roared.

“Quick, send another group of experts to the third Skyfire Volcano immediately. If I’ve guessed correctly, they’ve probably tampered with the third Skyfire Volcano as well,” Xiang Bai immediately yelled.

“I’ll go!” Xiang Zhiru said sternly before immediately rushing off towards the third Skyfire Volcano with a few Immortal Emperors and several dozen Immortal Monarchs.

The third Skyfire Volcano had not erupted yet.

“Watch the surface! I’ll personally head down and take a look!” Xiang Zhiru said to the great elders around her before diving into the churning lava.

There was an endless skyfire hidden within the lava, but the skyfire was unable to harm Xiang Zhiru as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

Xiang Zhiru searched through the lava carefully and did not miss a single spot, but she still failed to find anything.

Unbeknownst to Xiang Zhiru, a pile of supreme grade immortal crystals were placed quietly in a place she had just passed by. Above the immortal crystals was a simple talisman that blocked off Xiang Zhiru’s senses.

Even when Xiang Zhiru brushed past the talisman, she failed to sense anything.

Several seconds later, Xiang Zhiru leapt out of the lava and returned to the air.

The Immortal Emperors nearby immediately gathered over and looked at her inquisitively.

Xiang Zhiru shook her head and said, “I found nothing!”

However, right when she said that, the pile of immortal crystals hidden within the Skyfire Volcano suddenly exploded.

The pile of detonating immortal crystals was extremely limited in power compared to an Immortal Monarch, but it was completely sufficient for destroying the internal stability of the Skyfire Volcano.

Immediately, the internal equilibrium of the Skyfire Volcano was broken, and the third Skyfire Volcano also erupted with a rumble. A massive plume of fire rushed into the air, dyeing the entire sky scarlet.

Xiang Zhiru bellowed out as her presence as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor radiated outwards. She directly slammed her hand down towards the ground.

Immediately, the space was compressed, and a terrifying force descended, forcefully blocking the rising skyfire.

However, the eruption was extremely fierce. Xiang Zhiru’s suppression only lasted for a moment before an even greater force emerged from the Skyfire Volcano.

Xiang Zhiru was unfazed. She backed away silently. A formation had already unfolded silently, forming a huge hemisphere that sealed up the place.

However, the harder the skyfire was suppressed, the more violent the eruption became. Under the skyfire’s impact, the formation began to shake violently.

Xiang Zhiru, the Immortal Emperors, and the Immortal Monarchs all poured their strength to stabilise the formation.

However, with the eruption of the three Skyfire Volcanoes, the spiritual Qi in the entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants seemed to have its source severed. It began to plummet.

The large number of heavenly resources planted in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, as well as the operation of the various formations, constantly exhausted a tremendous amount of spiritual Qi.

If they only relied on the spiritual veins hidden deep underground, they would still struggle to maintain such a great expenditure. The three Skyfire Volcanoes were the greatest contributors of spiritual Qi.

Now that the spiritual Qi had been severed, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants could not last very long at all given their reserves.

However, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was also very experienced with dealing with the situation. Apart from leaving behind a few outside to maintain the formations, many Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors protected themselves with various god artifacts and dove into the depths of the Skyfire Volcano.

At a time like this, immortals beneath Immortal Monarch had already become completely useless.

At this moment, the leaders of the four branches, Xiang Bai, Xiang Zhiru, Xiang Zhan, and Xiang Zhiping, hovered in the centre of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Their faces were as ugly as they could get.

“Infiltrating our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is definitely not an easy feat to accomplish. Since the enemy is willing to go to such great lengths and take on such great risk to infiltrate our sect, what exactly is their objective?” Xiang Bai said.

The leaders of the four branches sank into their thoughts. None of them believed that the enemy had only infiltrated to cause some damage.

“In our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, the pair of Dragon Blood Fish are the most precious. Don’t tell me they’re after the Dragon Blood Fish?” Xiang Zhiping said with uncertainty.

When he heard that, Xiang Bai laughed. “They’re after the Dragon Blood Fish? I sure do hope they steal the Dragon Blood Fish. That way, they won’t just be provoking our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants but the Sacred Beast clan as well!”

“The Dragon Blood Fish had been specially bestowed upon us by the great Sacred Beast King as acknowledgement of our great contribution. He allowed our sect to raise them for five millions years. Once that time passes, we still have to return the pair of Dragon Blood Fish to the Sacred Beast clan,” said Xiang Zhiru before sneering. “As for stealing the Dragon Blood Fish, even courts of heaven don’t have that courage.”

As Xiang Zhiru spoke, he demonstrated disdain towards the courts of heaven.

However, the confidence behind her words did not come from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants but from the Sacred Beast clan.

“Oh no, I think I know why they’re here.” At this moment, Xiang Bai’s expression changed slightly as he called out, “Quick, suppress the forbidden grounds. The disturbances that these people have created are probably only to shift our attention away. Their actual objective should be to rescue people.”

When they heard that, the expressions of Xiang Zhan, Xiang Zhiping, and Xiang Zhiru all changed as well.

“Oh no, go to where the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt is. That is a Fourth Heavenly Layer Demon Exalt after all. Now that the ancestors aren’t around, we can’t let him escape.”

“And the Pavilion of Alchemy. We can’t allow any accidents to happen there. We’re not skilled in alchemy, so if we lose the people from the Immortal Sect of Alchemy Qi, it’ll be a severe loss to us.”

Xiang Bai, Xiang Zhiping, Xiang Zhan, and Xiang Zhiru ventured off towards the forbidden grounds to personally guard them.

Moreover, they passed various orders, dispatching even more Immortal Emperor great elders towards these important areas.

They could all use the senses of their souls to grasp the situation throughout the entire sect, but since the enemy could fool the senses of their souls, then it was no longer reliable. They no longer trusted their senses. They planned on watching over the place personally.
