The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2450: Chapter 2450: Ignored by Yama Palace

Long ago, the Thunder Domain was unmatched in strength, with no force able to compare, even other Heavenly Domains were influenced and radiated by the Thunder Domain.

Now, the Thunder Domain has long since declined.

In its prime, there were too many strong individuals in the Thunder Domain, with many at the Immortal Venerate Peak Realm. In that era, Luo Hao could only be considered an average Immortal Venerate Peak in the Thunder Domain. Luo Hao’s fame actually rose after the decline of the Thunder Domain.

Most of the strong individuals of the Thunder Domain have perished, leaving only a few barely surviving. Luo Hao is one of these few, becoming increasingly well-known through repeated skirmishes with pursuers.

Thus, among the distant adventurers, someone recognized Immortal Venerable Luo Hao.

Many older adventurers here have heard of Immortal Venerable Luo Hao, as they have lived in the Thunder Domain for a long time and know more about it than those outside.

”With five Red-Clothed Killing Stars encircling, Immortal Venerable Luo Hao has little chance of escape,” someone sighed.

”I heard the Yama Palace used many measures to kill Immortal Venerable Luo Hao. Now that Immortal Venerable Luo Hao is cornered, the Yama Palace will surely not let him escape again,” someone nodded.

”If Immortal Venerable Luo Hao is killed, the situation for the other Thunder Domain remnants will become even worse. Now, the Thunder Domain remnants have no powerful members. Mostly, only some weaker members are left,” someone shook their head lightly.

In its peak era, there were many in the Thunder Domain who were far stronger than Luo Hao. But now, hardly anyone in the Thunder Domain can rival Immortal Venerable Luo Hao.

”Hongmeng City prohibits cultivators from fighting within the city,” someone shifted their gaze.

”Heh, prohibiting fighting, that’s for us ordinary cultivators. For existences like the Red-Clothed Killing Stars, can Hongmeng City really forbid them? City Lord Jing Yan might not intervene, right?” someone chuckled softly.

”It’s also possible that the Yama Palace already communicated with City Lord Jing Yan. City Lord Jing Yan is not an ordinary Immortal Venerable. The Yama Palace should give him some face, shouldn’t it?” a beautiful female adventurer spoke up.

”Ah...” Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream was heard.

”My... my restaurant!” The screaming cultivator, somewhat plump and relatively short, stretched out his hand, pointing at the now-ruined restaurant. He felt as if his heart would break.

The Four-direction Guest Restaurant was his business, and he was the Store Manager. He had briefly left the restaurant for some matters, and upon returning, he found his restaurant already destroyed.

”Manager Miao, you should consider yourself lucky.”

”Indeed. Fortunately, you weren’t inside the restaurant, otherwise, you might have been dead by now.”

”Although the restaurant is gone, at least you’re still alive.”

Some cultivators who knew this Manager of the Four-direction Guest Restaurant spoke up. They weren’t wrong; if this Manager Miao had been inside the restaurant at that time, with his Early-stage Immortal Charm cultivation, he would likely have been killed instantly. There were over a hundred people inside the restaurant at that time, but less than ten percent survived. Even those who survived were severely injured.

Manager Miao’s face was deathly pale, breathing heavily. He looked at the nearby adventurers, then at the opposing parties on the ruins. He felt helpless. He didn’t need others to tell him that his restaurant had been razed by these two groups, but could he ask for compensation? After all, he had purchased the restaurant from the official channels of Hongmeng City, and in the city, the city officials should protect his property. However... he didn’t dare to approach City Lord Jing Yan about this compensation.

”Luo Hao!” a Red-Clothed Killing Star called out.

”Our Palace Master says he can give you an opportunity because he values your abilities and thinks it would be a waste for you to die like this.”

”If you’re willing to join Yama Palace, swear allegiance to the Palace Master, and reveal the gathering place of the Thunder Domain remnants, you can live. Even this boy named Peng Qiuping beside you can survive,” the Red-Clothed Killing Star said, arms crossed, staring at Luo Hao.

”Kang Linyue, stop dreaming! I, Luo Hao, was born a person of the Thunder Domain, and will die a ghost of the Thunder Domain. Hehe, Yama Palace? The lord of the Thunder Domain will return. At that time, it will be the destruction of Yama Palace,” Luo Hao laughed.

”Enough talk, all five of you come at me at once!” Luo Hao gathered his breath, mobilizing his Divine Power.

As he circulated his Divine Power, the Power of Laws spread around his body. Among them, there was a noticeable flash of Thunder Light—a violet Thunder, caused by the violent fluctuation of Thunder Attribute Dao Techniques.

Pressure rippled out!

Luo Hao was a strong figure of the Thunder Domain, a high-level member, mastering Thunder Attribute Techniques with terrifying Power.

”People from the Thunder Domain are all stubborn!”

”Stop persuading, just kill!”

The Red-Clothed Killing Stars cursed a few words, as five figures simultaneously mobilized their Divine Power, wielding Magic Treasures of great Power, preparing to besiege Luo Hao. They paid no mind to Peng Qiuping, who was merely at the Late-stage Venerable Immortal cultivation, posing no threat to them. Without Luo Hao’s protection, they could easily eliminate Peng Qiuping. They were Red-Clothed Killing Stars of Yama Palace, with combat abilities surpassing that of typical Immortal Venerate Peaks, some even possessing special attack and control capabilities.

Hongmeng Pill Tower.

Jing Yan appeared calm, though a cold glint occasionally flashed in his eyes.

Since Stone Tianshuo and others reported the entry of Red-Clothed Killing Stars into the city, some time had passed. During this time, no Red-Clothed Killing Stars from Yama Palace had communicated with him, nor had anyone from Yama Palace sought to meet him.

”It seems Yama Palace has disregarded me, Jing Yan,” Jing Yan murmured softly, the corner of his mouth twitching.

”Jing Yan, do you truly intend to act?” Wuxia asked.

”Yes, Hongmeng City doesn’t have much time to accumulate prestige bit by bit. If this incident isn’t handled well, the impact will be too great,” Jing Yan nodded.

At this point, Jing Yan’s expression shifted slightly as he retrieved a Communication Magical Treasure.

It was a message from Stone Tianshuo.

”City Lord, the people from Yama Palace have not communicated with us. They have already destroyed the Four-direction Guest Restaurant.”

”The Red-Clothed Killing Stars are indeed conducting a pursuit. Their targets are two cultivators, both remnants of the Thunder Domain. One of them is named Luo Hao, very famous, even I’ve heard of this Immortal Venerable Luo Hao,” Stone Tianshuo reported to Jing Yan.

The Four-direction Guest Restaurant had just been destroyed, and he immediately reported to Jing Yan through communication.

”Thunder Domain remnants?” Jing Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened.

It had been more than thirty years since the establishment of Hongmeng City. During these thirty years, Jing Yan hadn’t released any information to recruit Thunder Domain remnants, not because he didn’t want to, but due to the enormous implications involved. There were many concerns for Jing Yan. The once incredibly powerful Thunder Domain declined rapidly, and their enemies were certainly not just one or two forces.

Unexpectedly, today, some Thunder Domain remnants had escaped to his Hongmeng City.
