Chapter 343: Undead (2/2)

And before the priest could reach, he mounted the beast and flew into the depths of the imperial palace completely destroying everything in their way.

The Priest suddenly had a bad premonition, he is feeling reassured from the start only because he is sure that they couldn't escape through the space gate and why is he so sure? Because, he made sure that the imperial palace doesn't have enough spirit stones, this period of the year is the most vulnerable period for the royal treasury. This is the time, even the imperial treasury is waiting for the taxes.

There is no way they could transport all the people. But he understood that he is extremely wrong as soon as he entered the palace grounds, there is not even a sign of life within it.

Everyone is gone, he saw the old man escaping on the lion and gritted his teeth in fury. He felt like he was being played like a fool. He thought that the emperor took it upon himself just because there is no use in sending his soldiers.

He thought that the old man took over his son's position just to make sure that his son gets enough rest, but never did he expect that this would happen.

His whole body trembled in fury as he coldly commanded.

”Don't let them get away, we are going to chase them to the ends of the earth.”

As soon as he said that, the masked individuals who are in the middle of the followers all sat cross-legged and their surrounding followers started turning into undead, giving them power, all the masked followers who are nascent stage cultivators, suddenly turned into Pre-transcendent cultivators and made their move.

The first they did is, pick up the undead and throwing them at the old man and the beast, the surroundings turned into a mess of death energy.

They didn't even care that the undead they are throwing in are the very beings that sacrificed themselves to give them energy.

Even the surrounding followers are cheering with anticipation.

Just like that, the old man was being tailed by the fifty Pre-transcendent stage cultivators and a Transcendent cultivator.

But he didn't even turn to take a look. When he reached the space-gate, there are two space-gates one that will lead to the Usaine sect and another one which will lead to the Island.

The emperor is loading the gates with the spirit stones and said to his father.

”Father, everyone is already gone, I suggest you leave to the island and deactivate the gate over there and I will go to the Usaine sect and inform the situation.”

The old man nodded and entered the gate, the spirit stones turned into dust in an instant and the old man and the beast disappeared immediately.

The Emperor immediately attacked the gate as soon as the transportation was done, completely destroying it, and at the same time, he entered the second gate leading to the Usaine sect and activated the gate.

At this exact moment, a saber ray full of death energy entered the space gate and landed on the emperor who was barely able to escape with a wound.

The Priest looked at the destroyed space gate and then looked at the space gate that leads to the Usaine sect.

He was extremely angry, the completely intact space gate that leads to the Usaine sect almost seemed like the emperor mocking him.

Why did he destroy the former and didn't do the same with the latter?

Because the emperor knew that he shouldn't dare let these maniacs enter that island and he also knew that these maniacs wouldn't dare to enter the Usaine sect at the moment.

At this moment, in the Usaine sect. Emperor's son already arrived at the sect earlier and used painstaking efforts and his master connection to get an appointment with the Sect head.

At this moment, he was waiting for his father to come through the space gate and all of a sudden the space gate started shining and the wounded emperor came out of it.

There was extremely concentrated death energy oozing out of that scar and the emperor seemed visibly affected by it.

The Prince immediately hurried him to a healer, who skilfully performed surgery and saved the emperor in an hour.

The Emperor didn't even bother to take adequate rest and requested a meeting with the Sect-head as soon as he was conscious.

The Prince didn't stay for the battle and left the day before, so he doesn't know the horror of this church and the followers.

As soon as he was taken to the Sect-head, he explained everything without missing a detail.

”I noticed that the people who are wearing masks and the particular that priest who was once the ruler of the underworld of my empire are able to turn the followers into undead by absorbing their energy and increasing their cultivation.

He broke through the middle-stage Transcendent and reached the late stage in a blink of an eye, just by absorbing a few hundred people, there are hundreds of thousands of followers under him, I don't even dare to imagine what will happen if he could absorb all of them.”
