Chapter 358 (1/2)

”What's happening?”

Elder Jingyi asked after feeling the whole place trembling, soon a person burst through the entrance to this meeting chamber.

”Elders! We are being attacked!”

”What!?”

All the people in this room were the heads of the Thunderball hall. All of them were gathered in this room and no one was able to notice any enemies getting closer.

”How could this be? Why wasn't the alarm sounded?”

”They appeared out of the mist, we only detected the enemies after they started attacking the protective barrier.”

”Who are the enemies, who dare attack the Thunderball Hall?”

All the people looked at the sect member that burst through the door, the man quickly replied.

”It's the Blood Poison Cult! They have the whole sect surrounded, they must have sneaked in during the night!”

”The Blood Poison Cult? Then it must be true, she really did betray us…”

One of the high elders commented as he recalled the Sect Leader's granddaughter being rumored to have betrayed them. With their sudden attack right after their strongest member was poisoned this was too much of a coincidence.

”It doesn't matter now, everyone protect the disciples, we must protect the sect, someone go inform the Sect Leader! Contact the other righteous sects, see if they will aid us in this time of need!”

The elders soon scrambled, this was a life or death situation. Everyone knew that this Evil sect of poison users would not stop until everyone was dead. Fleeing was not an option as they would just be hunted down to the end of the world.

On the outside, everyone was woken up by a blaring alarm. The outer sect elders and disciples were forced to defend themselves as they were the closest. The protective shield that was surrounding the whole mountain started cracking each time it was hit by the enemy's powerful attacks.

”That's it, break it down, kill everyone, don't let anyone survive, no prisoners!”

An elder from the Blood Poison Cult shouted. He was wearing a dark red robe that was surrounded by a purple haze of poisonous energy.

This was a coordinated attack. This sect came to eradicate the Thunderball hall and take their resources. Siege weapons were firing off large boulders filled with poison.

Many demonic cultivators were already in their battle formations and taking the appearances of ghastly demonic creatures. They pounded on the protective barrier with their massive claws and tendril-like appendages until it broke down.

The bloodbath soon started, the outer sect members were no match for the elite army of this sect. The disciples were quickly evacuated towards the inner sect while the elders and seniors tried to stall.

Even though this was the Thunderball Hall's territory the protective formations and weapons didn't slow down the approach of the enemy sect. It looked like the plans of the defenses that this sect was keeping a secret were also stolen.

It seemed that they knew where all the traps were placed and where all of the weak points were. With a lack of defensive measures the Outer Sect was quickly collapsing and people were forced to quickly evacuate into the inner sect where there was a stronger protective barrier.

”Hah, run you little roaches, you will not escape your fate!”

A large booming voice was heard by everyone, in the sky, three people were seen floating around. They were not using any treasures to float around as they didn't have to. Each of these three had a cultivation level of a Late Stage Supreme Saint.

”Brother Ying, your Blood Poison Cult looks ferocious today, it does seem that we won't be needed.”

The man that previously shouted was wearing a Blood Poison Cult's robe that showed off that he was the leader. The two people that were floating next to him had other robes and were clearly not from this sect.

”I thank you brother for your words but we must stay vigilant, that Zheng Tengfei might still be alive.”

The other two men nodded. They were two sect leaders from allied demonic sects. Zheng Ting was put under a demonic bond with the Blood Poison Cult's leader. She was brainwashed into loving him and revealed to be his perfect spy.

The cult was forced to act after they got news that this Thunderball Hall leader was close to ascending into the Saint Emperor realm. If that happened they would be surely eradicated by this righteous sect's new might.

Before that would happen they planned this out, the two Supreme Saints here were just the backup plan if the old Hall leader proved to be stronger than expected.

”You dare steal away my granddaughter!”

Soon the fight was brought over to the inner sect barrier and the Patriarch was forced to show himself. He was clearly not doing great as he was forced to stand on a floating platform.

”If it isn't old man Tengfei, you're not looking so good, is something wrong?”

The cult leader laughed out while the two men to his sides chuckled with him.

”Do you think you can leave here unscathed? Do you think my sect won't put up a fight? You forget where you are!”

The old man held out a trident in front of himself and raised it up into the sky. When he did the whole lightning tower began to churn with power. The lightning bolts started being absorbed into the tower's lightning rods as the whole tower started bursting with energy.

”Even in my weakened state, I can still operate the ancestral tower!”
