Chapter 361: The War Erupts
Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations
In the Infernal Palace of the Xia Capital.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The deep sounds of drums reverberated throughout the entire area, spreading even to the distant regions outside. The entire Xia Capital’s countless people stared blankly as they listened to the drum sounds. Three beats, four, five…
A total of nine deep drum beats.
Everyone understood what that meant!
Throughout the history of the Xia Clan, nine beats of the Infernal Palace’s drums represented the arrival of a calamity! Over the ages, there had been many situations where the clan had to retreat to the Infernal World; while in the mortal world, outside countless people would be slaughtered and eaten. Right now, such a calamity would soon be upon then once more. Even more, it was rumored previously…that the gravity of this situation far transcended any of the previous incidents.
“The war is starting?” Currently researching spell models, Qing Shi felt ill at ease. “Then why has my brother not yet returned?”
The matter of Xue Ying’s entering Crimson Rock Mountain was hidden from his brother and his parents.
When the issue of migrating the entire Xia Clan appeared, Qing Shi and Xue Ying’s parents asked Xue Ying’s situation, but Jing Qiu merely replied that he had traveled to a very important location for an adventure. If he were to succeed, he would be able to get his poison cured and return.
“The war has begun.”
In a different part of the same mansion, three people were seated together and chatting. They were Dong Bo Lie, Mo Yang Yu, and Zong Ling, all currently displaying an astonished expression.
“The war has already begun, but what of Xue Ying? He has yet to return.”
“The war has erupted.”
“But we have no way of helping”
“Damn.”
Many of the Transcendents were riddled with anxiety. Pu Yang Bo, Disciple Sister Zhuo Yi, and Gong Liang Yuan were all feeling nervous in their hearts as they transmitted messages to one another.
A Battleship D9 was currently floating above the Infernal Palace.
Palace Head Chen took the initiative to send down orders through his communication wristband.
“Demigods of the Xia Clan, heed my orders. As a detriment to any spies amongst our ranks, every Demigod is to enter their own personal cabin within the Battleship D9.”
“Good.”
“Go.”
Mountain Lord He, dressed in his long robes, was as calm as the sea. He shot up to the sky toward the Battleship D9. After all the years of cultivation while assisted by the usage of many spirit fruits and spirit treasures sent down by Xue Ying from Crimson Dust Island, Mountain Lord He’s combat power had reached a whole new level. Originally, his grade four Deity Heart had already evolved to a grade three one and, despite having yet to open his Deity sea, he remained the incontestable first ranked Demigod.
Sou! Chi Qiu Bai also flew up to the sky. Today, he was at the peak of stage three realm of his grade three True Meaning, and his combat power was secondary to Mountain Lord He! Before Mountain Lord He had grasped the grade three Deity Heart, Chi Qiu Bai had even temporarily stood as first on the Demigod rankings, but now, he was second.
“We must win this battle,” Si Kong Yang said, wearing the Nine Dragons Fire Deity Armor. His killing intent was overflowing. He flew out from a courtyard within the Infernal Palace and towards the Battleship D9.
“It’s war.”
Grand Elder Palace Head and City Lady Bu, together with many other Demigods and even the new Demigod Yuan Qing, were all in the middle of flying toward the Battleship D9.
The only Demigod yet to appear was Jing Qiu.
Ka ka ka! The many small cabins within the Battleship D9 served to deter spies from acting.
It was truthfully quite natural for there to be several spies. After all, the Demonic Faction’s Demigod spies, other than Xi Yun, had yet to reveal themselves.
Hu. The Battleship D9 took to the skies.
Under the watch of the countless people in the Xia Capital, and the observation of all the Transcendents, the Battleship D9 rapidly left the Infernal World.
Far away, in the vast and mystical Deity world.
On a certain planet, there were many arrays which served to seal it up completely. There were countless precious flowers and grasses growing on that planet, and even rarely seen insects and beasts.
There were many peak Deity experts stationed here to undergo long-term research.
“This Crow-Green Flower variant is quite different to the original version. I wonder about its medicinal properties…” A friendly old man with two moustaches was currently looking at the enormous plant he named ‘Crow-Green Flower.’ It was more than a hundred meters in diameter and had a single flower bud basking in an azure-green glow. A simple scene was depicted on every single one of its petals.
“Brother Lei Ting, with the help of time acceleration, it will only take another three years for this Crow-Green Flower to mature. At that point, you will be able to begin an even more in-depth research.” A different tall but skinny man laughed from the side. “Should we succeed, the two of us will be counted as having contributed significantly; perhaps we’ll even be promoted.”
“There’s no sense in overthinking it. Just calm yourself down and continue researching.” The friendly old man laughed.
The two of them were at the lowest level of medicinal masters belonging to the great organization known as the Bloodshed God Palace. Even with that rank, however, to have become part of the Bloodshed God Palace was enough for them to be envied by countless Deities! Even among peak Deities, there were incredibly few who could enter the Bloodshed God Palace.
The expression of the amiable old man suddenly changed. He turned to face a location in the distance—it was no other than the direction of the material world. The war has begun? What I could do, I have already done. Descendants of my Xia Clan, it’s now up to you!
The Purple Thunder Emperor was, ultimately, not a World Deity. Even though he had entered the Bloodshed God Palace, he was still at the lowest rank and could not provide much help for the Xia Clan.
