Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor - Chapter 2258: Excited Taoist Shi
The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace and the Eight Great Immortal Emperors share a deep-seated enmity that is endless and everlasting. ššæššš ššššØššš.šš š
Whenever disciples from both sides meet, a battle to the death is inevitable, lasting until one side is completely annihilated.
The handful of high-ranking members in the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Tiger Immortal City think that those disciples from the Emperorās Palace have already slain Hu Wei Immortal King, leaving them with no reason to let them off.
Perhaps in the next moment, those Emperorās Palace disciples will arrive menacingly, claiming their lives and turning this City Lord Mansion into a bloody inferno.
They long to escape but dare not do so.
Because they know that if they abandon the City Lord Mansion and flee, they will face punishment from the Dragon Taming Palace, a fate worse than death.
Therefore, even though they realize that if those Emperorās Palace disciples attack, they are unlikely to withstand them, they can only remain here, sharing the fate of the City Lord Mansion.
One of the high-ranking members of the City Lord Mansion, filled with unwillingness, strikes the Summoning Immortal Bell, hoping to rally the Immortals of Myriad Tiger Immortal City to aid in resisting the attacks of those Emperorās Palace disciples.
However, upon learning that the adversaries of the City Lord Mansion are Emperorās Palace disciples, the Immortals from Myriad Tiger Immortal City who heard the bell and came no longer wished to get involved, choosing instead to stand by and watch.
Though the Emperorās Palace had been destroyed for a millennium, many Immortals still remember the benefits it brought to the Immortal Realm during its existence.
Back then, the Emperorās Palace was the strongest sect in the Immortal Realm. Under the awe-inspiring reputation of the War Emperor, order in the Immortal Realm was perfectly maintained, everything fair and just. Immortals across the realm were in awe, and the Demon Realm and Demon Clan dared not invade the Immortal Realm.
However, since the fall of the War Emperor and the destruction of the Emperorās Palace, the Eight Great Immortal Emperors each claimed a territory, becoming the eight top forces in the Immortal Realm, occupying Cultivation Holy Lands and swallowing Cultivation Resources, while their subordinate forces became arrogant and overbearing beyond measure...
From then on, order in the Immortal Realm began to crumble, chaos spreading, and strong figures from the Demon Clan and Demon Realm frequently crossed boundaries, causing disturbances in the Immortal Realm.
Many Immortals harbored resentment about this but were too afraid of the power of the Eight Great Immortal Emperors to speak out.
The City Lord Mansion of Myriad Tiger Immortal City, being a subordinate force of the Dragon Taming Palace, holds some responsibility for the current state of the Immortal Realm, one of the top eight Immortal Emperors, the Dragon Taming Emperor, being its Palace Master.
Hence, seeing the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Tiger Immortal City in trouble, most of the Immortals within the city watched with schadenfreude; how many would actually step forward to help?
"You all..."
Seeing the various Immortals adopting an "itās not my business" stance, the dozen high-ranking members of the City Lord Mansion were infuriated but helpless.
Among these Immortals, there were some Immortal King Realm Experts. Even if City Lord Hu Wei Immortal King were present, he couldnāt command them, let alone themselves.
"Quick, bring that Taoist Shi here!"
An Elder of the City Lord Mansion suddenly had an idea, exclaiming with excitement.
Taoist Shi was also a disciple of the Emperorās Palace; if the four Emperorās Palace disciples who killed Hu Wei Immortal King came to the City Lord Mansion, they could use Taoist Shiās life to threaten them, making them hesitate and not dare to act recklessly.
Meanwhile, that Elder assigned a Steward to ride on the Immortal Tiger and immediately fly to the Dragon Taming Palace to seek reinforcements.
Taoist Shi originally had his Qi Sea injured, remaining in a comatose state for many years. He was later captured and brought to the City Lord Mansion, where he consumed an Immortal Pill from the Tiger Dragon Immortal King, temporarily awakening but still in poor condition, remaining in a daze.
When he was brought to the plaza in front of the City Lordās Hall, he was unaware of what had happened. However, the many disciples of the Dragon Taming Palace present were familiar to him, and the bewilderment in his eyes suddenly erupted into a sky-high hatred, and he shouted sternly: "Disciples of the Dragon Taming Palace, you destroyed my Emperorās Palace! One day, I will make you pay the blood debt!"
"Slap!"
A Steward from the City Lord Mansion took a step forward, raised his hand, and slapped Taoist Shi, sending him flying.
"What are you shouting for? If it werenāt for the fact that you still have some use, Iād kill you right now!"
The Steward of the City Lord Mansion scolded fiercely, rushing forward to grab the bloodied Taoist Shi, saying viciously: "Listen, if any Emperorās Palace disciples come, you better behave yourself and cooperate obediently, or I will grind your bones to dust!"
Upon hearing "Emperorās Palace disciple," Taoist Shiās eyes suddenly brightened with a glimmer of hope, murmuring: "Emperorās Palace disciples... Ha... Haha... I knew it, itās impossible for all the ten thousand Emperorās Palace disciples to have fallen at your hands... The Emperorās Palace disciples have come to seek revenge from you, havenāt they? Haha... Alright! Alright!"
Even though he was grabbed by the City Lord Mansion Steward, Taoist Shi was dancing with excitement, not at all like an injured Immortal.
The City Lord Mansion Steward, seeing him laughing crazily and appearing mad, was somewhat worried that he might indeed lose his mind. If that were the case, once the four Emperorās Palace disciples attacked the City Lord Mansion, witnessing this scene might provoke their wrath, leading them to go on a rampage.
"Hmph, Iāll spare your life for now!"
The Steward of the City Lord Mansion released Taoist Shi and went over to discuss countermeasures with the other high-ranking members of the City Lord Mansion.
The City Lord Mansion had a ready Defensive Array, which could be activated to defend against strong enemies. If the Formation were broken, Taoist Shi would be their last lifesaving card.
They only hoped that those four Emperorās Palace disciples would take a few more days to arrive or that the Defensive Array could hold out a few more days, buying time for the reinforcements from the Dragon Taming Palace.
However, despite their plans, things did not go as they wished.
Mere moments after the Steward brought out Taoist Shi, four streaks of light approached swiftly, hovering over the City Lord Mansion.
"Itās really them..."
The dozen high-ranking members of the City Lord Mansion, seeing the four figures in the sky, couldnāt help but turn pale.
One of the Stewards hastily grabbed Taoist Shi and brought him to his side, using him as a shield, as if that was the only way to feel secure.
Taoist Shi struggled a little, then looked up at the sky. Though the sunlight was blinding, he vaguely made out four Immortals looking down.
"Emperorās Palace disciples... Itās the Emperorās Palace disciples..."
Despite being severely injured, Taoist Shi could sense familiar traces from the four Immortals in the sky, and tears of joy and relief streamed down his face.
A thousand years ago, after the fall of the War Emperor and the destruction of the Emperorās Palace, the not-so-powerful Taoist Shi was forced to hide in Polang Village.
During this millennium, he always hoped for an Emperorās Palace disciple to rise up and rally their comrades, launching a revenge war against the Eight Great Immortal Emperors.
Perhaps due to being out of touch with news, for a thousand years, he never heard any news of the Emperorās Palace disciples, believing that the tens of thousands of Emperorās Palace disciples had long perished, causing him great anger and grief.
Though he longed for revenge, he knew he was too weak to make a difference, so he lay in wait for an opportunity, never imagining he would meet four of his fellow disciples here today.
The four Emperorās Palace disciples hovering in the sky, each with eyes cold and faces stern, looked down upon nearly a thousand disciples of the City Lord Mansion. Their Immortal Might descended, instantly causing immense pressure on nearly a thousand of the City Lord Mansion disciples.
