603 Capture that Dog Alive! (2/2)

Buzz….

With a howl, Wen Renchou's eyes turned red. After a loud howl, a magic formation appeared in front of him. In the next moment, a silhouette gradually stepped out from within the formation.

Wen Renchou stopped his howling. In the instant he saw the figure, his pupils constricted.

….

The magic transportation array of Heavenly Mist City's Pill Palace flickered. Countless silhouettes were transported over immediately. They looked incredibly pathetic as their bodies were ridden with wounds and their aura emitted distress.

With a look of exhaustion, Mu Bai walked out from among these silhouettes. His face was extremely pale. He felt somewhat sullen. The trip to the Heaven Secret Territory caused him a great loss. Not only was he not enlightened on any concocting techniques, he had also lost a body.

Who would have expected that such a large number of ferocious beasts would appear in the Heaven Secret Territory? Those beasts were not native to the Hidden Dragon Continent and their fighting prowess was terrifying. Countless experts perished in the battle with the beasts.

Due to the lack of manpower, all the experts in the Heaven Secret Territory had to participate in the battle.

Mu Bai, who witnessed the ferocity of those beasts firsthand, had a body that was still trembling tremendously.

They were literally invincible. Even with the Fifth Elder attacking with the rest of the people, those beasts could not be completely suppressed.

According to the Fifth Elder, these ferocious beasts originated from other places known as the Netherworld. These beasts were considered common beasts in the Netherworld. The truly terrifying ferocious beasts had yet to appear.

It was through this that the Heaven Secret Territory was almost lost to the beasts.

Once the Heaven Secret Territory was completely occupied by the Netherworld ferocious beasts, it would directly threaten the entire Hidden Dragon Continent.

Thinking about this, Mu Bai felt disoriented. Fortunately, the legacy grounds was sealed thanks to the massive efforts of the Fifth Elder. The ferocious beasts should not appear for a while. However, no one knew how long this sealing formation could hold on.

Returning back to the Hidden Dragon Continent, Mu Bai felt as if he was given a new lease of life. He took a deep breath and felt much more awake and refreshed. What caused him to be surprised was that in the Pill Tower, everyone was bustling about.

”What happened?” Mu Bai pulled a person over and asked him with a confused expression on his face.

”All of you who just came back from the Heaven Secret Territory wouldn't know. However, the Ancient Shura City declared war on the Pill Palace. That crazy Shura Sovereign still proclaimed that he would level our Pill Palace!” said an anxious-looking alchemist.

”How can that be? Is this Shura Sovereign retarded? Ancient Shura City might be strong, but they might not necessarily be able to deal with the Pill Palace, right? The Pill Palace is, after all, the gathering grounds of all alchemists in the Hidden Dragon Continent. How can he possibly deal with all the experts of the mainland?” Mu Bai said.

”Ah… You will know soon enough. The Shura Sovereign had really steeled his resolve this time. Not only did he activate his full military strength, he even invited Hidden Dragon Royal Courts' holy ground experts to assist him. Our Pill Palace is really in danger this time.”

After finishing what he had to say, the person shook his head and left with a disturbed expression, completely ignoring Mu Bai.

Ancient Shura City activating its full strength did not worry the Pill Palace as much as the Hidden Dragon Royal Court's assisting experts. Being the highest existences in the Hidden Dragon Continent, the Hidden Dragon Royal Courts' every action could cause ripples across every faction on the mainland. If the Hidden Dragon Royal Court really wanted to exterminate the Pill Palace, the latter would truly be in peril.

In the distance, Grandmaster Xuan Ming walked over slowly. He gave Mu Bai's shoulder a gentle slap and revealed a weary expression.

”Don't worry, the Palace Master has already set off for Hidden Dragon Royal Court to seek clarification on this matter. There should be news soon… Even if the Hidden Dragon Royal Court really wanted to exterminate our Pill Palace, we would never give up without a fight.

…

Outside Heavenly Shine City, the second largest Pill City in the Pill Palace, a dense crowd of experts stood. Bearing heads full of luxurious red hair and carrying red spears on their backs, these experts were all members of the Ancient Shura City.

The Ancient Shura City's experts army was a famous terrifying army in the Hidden Dragon Continent due to their sheer battle prowess. Explosions after explosions reverberated through the air. Every time an explosion echoed out, a swarm of spears would rush toward the sky. As the spears blotted out the skies, they fell onto the gates like raindrops.

The grand gates of Heavenly Shine City were wrecked by the sounds of explosions and the city walls also became blemished with thousands of holes.

Wearing a clean set of alchemist robes, Grandmaster Yao Guang stepped forward and stood firmly on the battlements on the walls of Heavenly Shine City. He squinted at the swarm of Ancient Shura City troops and a burst of anger surged through him.

”Ancient Shura City… Unreasonable bullies!” Grandmaster Yao Guang said coldly.

The army settled in front of the city. Blood red tents were constructed outside the gates.

Among them, a young-looking Shura Sovereign lounged on the chair wearing casual clothing and looking extremely comfortable. His image did not seem as if he was in the middle of a war. In fact, it seemed like he was out on a holiday.

To his right, the Shura Saintess was garbed in martial attire. Her curvy figure was accentuated by it and left little to the imagination. Her beauty was simply breathtaking.

On the left side below the Shura Sovereign, a middle-aged man was meditating with his eyes closed. His aura was stable and emitted a crushing pressure on others. In fact, he gave off an impression of being slightly stronger than Shura Sovereign.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man opened his eyes slowly. A beam of light shot out of his eyes and the entire tent looked as if it was illuminated.

The Shura Saintess' heart tightened. This middle-aged man was indeed powerful, worthy of being an expert of the Hidden Dragon Royal Court.

”Shura Sovereign… I am doing this for the Netherworld woman and the black dog which seem like a living spirit of the Netherworld. I do not have time to waste with you here. End this battle quickly,” furrowing his eyebrows, the middle-aged man looked at Shura Sovereign and said.

”Why the rush? I know information on the Netherworld is extremely important to the Hidden Dragon Royal Court. However, my Shura army has not been in battle for a long time. Surely, I will have to give them some time in order to warm up. In any case, I said that I will level the Pill Palace, and level it I will. Please do not rush me.” A smile tugged at the corners of Shura Sovereign's lips as he let out a sinister smile.

”That Netherworld woman and that dog... They won't be able to escape! After my Shura army levels Heavenly Shine City, crushes Heavenly Pill City, and Heavenly Mist City, I will definitely help you capture that dog alive!”
