Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2252: The Empyrean Demon Cult Retreats

Over a dozen men and women of various ages hovered beyond the Cloud Plane. All of their gazes were fixed on the demonic cloud that had enveloped the entire Cloud Plane as undisguised joy and excitement filled their faces.

Along with those emotions, there was respect and reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

These people were all high-ranking members of the Empyrean Demon Cult. The remaining seven elders were all present, radiating with the presences of the Primordial realm.

Apart from the seven elders, there were four large, burly men. They wore black clothes as they stood there coldly and emotionlessly.

The gazes of the four men were all sharp and filled with killing intent. They all gave off a heavy presence of blood. Clearly, their presences were far, far more powerful than the seven elders.

Even among the seven elders, some of them looked at the four men in slight dread.

This was because the four men were the remaining generals of the Empyrean Demon Cult.

Both the elders and generals stood there silently as if they were waiting for something.

At this moment, a powerful demonic aura suddenly appeared before them. Enveloped within it was a hazy figure.

“Greetings to the great elder!”

All the important members of the Empyrean Demon Cult bowed politely towards the demonic aura.

“Great elder, not only has the Cloud Plane destroyed one of our branches, but even the grand elder has been heavily injured. He almost met his end, while War Demon is dead. This grievance is absolutely irreconcilable. Great elder, please give the orders so that we can soak the Cloud Plane in blood.”

“Great elder, please give the orders so that the armies of our cult can soak the Cloud Plane in blood...”

The four generals all said together. They radiated with killing intent and an intense smell of blood.

The five generals were like brothers that had been through thick and thin together. Now that one of them was dead, the remaining four were naturally filled with resentment.

“I have already killed the Heavenless Demon Exalt, and the Tian Empire has ceased to exist. The matters of the Cloud Plane end here...” The great elder within the demonic aura said firmly as if his words were an imperial edict, a representation of the will of the universe that could not be defied at all.

“As the great elder wishes!” The four generals replied politely. Before the great elder, they could only yield to all his decisions. They dared not object at all. Even when they were extremely reluctant to just let the matter end like this, they dared not say anything else.

“Great elder, Huai An, one of the three vice-leaders of the branch on the Cloud Plane, has betrayed the Empyrean Demon Cult. I used a secret technique to discover that Huai An is still alive. Great elder, please give the order so that we can capture him,” a woman in black armor said politely from behind the seven elders.

The woman possessed truly devastating beauty. Her words and actions were all presented with enchanting charm. Not only did the armor on her fail to affect her beauty at all, but it even added a special bearing instead.

This woman was the commander of the seventh army of the branch on the Cloud Plane, Yaxi Lian.

The great elder thought about it before saying slowly, “There will be someone looking for Huai An for revenge. We don’t need to pay any attention to him. From today onwards, we will be retreating from the Cloud Plane. Do not try to interfere with the matters on the Cloud Plane anymore.”

“Yes, sir!” Everyone gathered there answered. Even though they were doubtful about why they had to give up on the Cloud Plane, none of them dared to ask.

...

Afterwards, the situation on the Cloud Plane was immediately reversed. The deaths of the peak experts from the Tian Empire had weakened their alliance drastically. Afterwards, the remaining forces of the alliance were also attacked by the various great and peak clans under the lead of the Heaven’s Link Peak, immediately forcing them into a retreat.

Very soon, they lost control over the central region. The remaining forces of the Tian Empire broke out of the encirclement under the lead of four Grand Primes, and they retreated to the southern region of the Cloud Plane. They cast down many formations, preparing to use the southern region as their final line of defence to fend off the attacks from the alliance led by the Heaven’s Link Peak.

Due to the previous battles, the alliance under the Heaven’s Link Peak had suffered heavy casualties. Under the efforts of the four eternal empires, the majority of their forces suffered heavy losses, so they clearly no longer possessed the power to deal with the remaining forces of the Tian Empire’s alliance anymore even when they wanted to. They were unable to afford an even greater loss, so hunting down the remaining forces became a very slow process.

They were unable to bear the consequences of a full-blown war, just like how the alliance of the Tian Empire was unable to bear the consequences of a war to the death. If the few remaining Grand Primes of the Tian Empire’s alliance really became desperate, the side of the Heaven’s Link Peak would have to pay quite a hefty price to kill them. It might even lead to the death of a Grand Prime on their side.

None of the Grand Primes that stood on the Heaven’s Link Peak’s side was willing to go down with their opponents.

As a result, they became locked in a stalemate with the remaining forces of the Tian Empire.

The imperial family of the Xi Empire was unable to lighten up either. When the Xi Emperor went to the Godsfallen clan to explain the chaos of the Xi Empire, it did not proceed as smoothly as initially imagined under the interference of the ancestors of the Heaven-cracking sect and Sword Sect of Four Poles.

Moreover, the ancestral emperor of the Xi Empire, Xi Lianxue, had completely fallen silent. He had completely gone missing.

Losing a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime was a loss so great that it was inestimable to the Xi Empire.

And as the Godsfallen clan’s stance on the matter remained unknown, the imperial family was in constant danger.

There was only a single place that could be considered a peaceful on the Cloud Plane that was covered with battles, and that place was the Tian Yuan clan.

The Tian Yuan clan was the only organisation that did not have to worry about being affected by the complicated circumstances of the upheavals on the Cloud Plane.

Even the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian struggled to remain as calm with all the upheaval.

“The remaining forces of the Tian Empire’s alliance have actually fled to the southern region, and they’ve taken control of the Blood Sun Empire?” Ming Dong, who had just returned, also received news of the retreat. It made him frown slightly.

“Uncle Ming, the formation around the provincial city needs strengthening. I need to declare to the entire southern region that the provincial city is not a place where they can act up in through this formation.”

“As long as they don’t infringe on the provincial city, I don’t care how much trouble they cause. It has nothing to do with me even if they mess up the entire southern region. But if they come to the provincial city, hmph,” a vicious gleam of light immediately flashed through Ming Dong’s eyes when he reached the end.

Uncle Ming nodded and immediately went to complete the arrangements.

Before long, Sacredfeather suddenly bid farewell to everyone in the Tian Yuan clan before activating the talisman from Mo Tianyun. He left the Tian Yuan clan and went to the ruins of the world where the Spiritsages came from.

“What a powerful talisman. Where did he get this from?”

Uncle Ming sensed the talisman in the instance it was activated, and he immediately became doubtful.

...

Jian Chen had already returned to the Soaring Clouds Peak with Bai Yu back on the Desolate Plane. However, the lord of the Soaring Clouds Peak, Han Xin, had been waiting there for quite some time already. As soon as he saw the two of them return, a glad smile immediately appeared on his rather pale face.

“Greetings, sir!”

“Greetings, sir!”

Jian Chen and Bai Yu both greeted Han Xin.

Han Xin’s face was filled with undisguised pride. He said, “I already know what happened on the Sky Gazing Peak. Chang Yang, your performance has taken me by surprise. Currently, my Soaring Clouds Peak only has three disciples, and you have the weakest cultivation. I never thought that you would be the one who would make my Soaring Clouds Peak proud.”

As he said that, Han Xin had already raised his hand slowly. Immediately, pure Radiant Saint Force condensed on his hand, and he said, “Chang Yang, you’re injured. Come, let me heal you.” With that, Han Xin pressed his hands towards Jian Chen’s chest.

Jian Chen took a step back in a hurry and said, “Thank you for your concern, sir. It’s best if I deal with my wounds myself. If I always depend on my teacher in the brutal Saints’ World, I’ll be destined to be useless.”

Han Xin nodded in appreciation, “That’s very reasonable. If that’s the case, I will be bidding farewell first. Go heal up properly, and once you’ve done that, come to the mountain top. I have things to ask you, and I’ll also pass on some Radiant Artes of higher grades to you to comprehend.”

“Moreover, I’ll personally invoke the Laws of the Hallowed for you so that you can become a Hallowed Saint Master sooner. I believe you have the potential.”

“Remember, being a Hallowed Saint Master is the path that leads us to becoming an expert. You will always remain as an ant as long as you haven’t become a Hallowed Saint Master...”

After throwing that out there, Han Xin drifted away.
