Chapter 1377 Xiao Tianxuan (1/2)
Flocks of birds scattered in the mountains.
An army haphazardly rushed into the mountain forests and the smell of blood filled the air amid painful cries, wails and fearful screams. Everything together formed a very tragic scene.
Xiao Tianluo, who had grey sideburns, glanced at the miserable scenes around. His chest was dripping with blood, his body shivering and his eyes were filled with regret and fury.
He never imagined that the Saint Remains City, which he had painstakingly built over the years, would be destroyed in his hands.
“Old Yan, how is Tianxuan? Has he caught up?!” Xiao Tianluo’s voice trembled as he asked.
“Lord…”
The trusted aide called old Yan wore a very sorrowful expression as he said through gritted teeth, “junior city lord is bringing up the rear but there are four advanced Heavenly Sun experts in the Sacred Palace team and he’s only at the initial Heavenly Sun stage.”
“No, my son will be fine!” Xiao Tianluo's eyes suddenly reddened. He abruptly turned around and was about to charge out.
His son, Xiao Tianxuan, entered the Cangxuan Sect after the Saint Remains Domain and had been cultivating hard all these years. He finally surpassed his father with his talent and broke through to the Heavenly Sun stage and was promoted to an elder of the Cangxuan Sect.
Xiao Tianxuan was his pride.
He had always bragged to his friends about his son.
But he never thought everything would change so quickly. A few years ago, he accidentally found a mysterious fragment in the Saint Remains Domain. He immediately recognized it was a fragment of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp because the Cangxuan Saint Stamp’s matter had already spread throughout Cangxuan Heaven at the time, and so he carefully hid it.
He knew that this could be an opportunity. Although he had little interest in such an opportunity given his age, he wanted to leave that opportunity for his Xiao Tianxuan so he could advance even further in his cultivation.
But destruction came before that opportunity.
People came to the Saint Ruins City under the name of the Sacred Palace and demanded him to hand over the fragment. Xiao Tianluo naturally refused and he secretly sent a letter to summon back Xiao Tianxuan, who was in Cangxuan Sect. After all, in his opinion, the Cangxuan Sect was one of the six sacred sects and the Sacred Palace should give face to it.
But what he didn't expect was that the Sacred Palace team immediately launched a bloodbath attack on the Saint Remains City when Xiao Tianxuan arrived. As a result, the army guarding the Saint Remains City was massacred under such terrifying power.
In the end, he could only flee the city with some people, and in order to buy them time to flee, Xiao Tianxuan led the elites of Saint Ruins City to obstruct the Sacred Palace team.
Everyone knew what the result would be…
“City lord, you can't go! You will just be throwing away your life if you go there!” The guards hurriedly stopped Xiao Tianluo.
“We cannot waste the chance the junior city lord bought with his life!”
“......”
Under everyone’s persuasion, Xiao Tianluo wept bitterly. He felt very regretful. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn’t be greedy for the Saint Stamp fragment. Then, perhaps his son wouldn’t fall into such a hopeless situation.
All his hope was turned to dust.
“Let's go, I will take you all to a safe place,” Xiao Tianluo uttered in a hoarse voice as he struggled free from everyone.
Everyone fell silent. They could hear unwavering determination to sacrifice his life in Xiao Tianluo's voice.
However, Xiao Tianluo was in no mood to care about that. He dragged himself forward and led the group of people. But his body was too heavy and worn out. Suddenly, a demonic laughter resounded throughout the mountains.
“How much time do you think an initial Heavenly Sun expert could buy for you? What a group of country pumpkins.”
Panic immediately broke out from the fleeing troops. Trembling, everyone lifted their heads to see a group of figures in sacred white robes and they all wore mocking and condescending expressions as they looked down at them.
The middle-aged man who led the Sacred Palace team was surrounded in monstrous waves of Genesis Qi. He clearly was an expert at the advanced Heavenly Sun stage.
