A large group of people surrounded Nie Fancheng in the center, and the old eunuch was nowhere to be seen. No, the eunuch hadn't disappeared; he had suddenly appeared in the western part of Blue Fla City, now surrounded by the Ten Golden Crows.
The Ten Golden Crows radiated golden light like ten suns standing in the sky. The intense heat imdiately burned down countless buildings in the west of the city. Countless citizens fled in panic, but there was no escape. Terrifying flas and true solar fire engulfed everything, burning the world to ashes.
The old eunuch was trapped in the center of the Ten Golden Crows.
Zhong Shan saw that below the Ten Golden Crows were ten figures in golden robes. Among them were Zhong Shan's old acquaintances, Prince Lietian and Prince Chongtian. Were these the ten princes of the Taishou Heavenly Court?
The ten princes each occupied a different position, forming strange hand seals.
The Ten Golden Crows soared into the sky, flying in a bizarre pattern that left the onlookers in awe.
It seed to offer a way for the eunuch to escape, but at the sa ti, it was a trap with no way out, surrounded by boundless solar fire.
"Ten Suns Sky Formation!"
The ten princes shouted in unison.
The Ten Suns Sky Formation? The powerful formation capable of trapping a Heavenly Realm expert?
Suddenly, the entire west turned into a blinding light. Endless flas descended from the sky. The Ten Golden Crows, like ten suns, spun rapidly, burning everything around them. There was no ti to escape.
For a mont, screams and cries echoed from the west. The endless cries of the citizens were drowned in the sea of fire in an instant.
The area was completely engulfed in flas, reaching the heavens and burning everything. Anything nearby was reduced to ashes. Even though Zhong Shan and the others were far away, they could still feel the scorching heat.
The sky over Blue Fla City turned red with the endless flas.
With the Ten Suns Sky Formation activated, nothing could be seen within the fire. The Ten Golden Crows were hidden within the flas, their forms invisible.
The ten suns vanished into the flas.
From within the fire zone, fireballs continuously erupted, flying in all directions. Though the fire was confined to the west of Blue Fla City, nurous powerful fireballs shot toward the east, south, north, and even beyond the city.
The entire Blue Fla City echoed with endless cries, engulfed in towering flas. Fireballs covered the entire city.
The Ten Suns Sky Formation shouldn't have this effect of scattering fireballs. This could only an that the old eunuch inside was using his formidable power to break the formation.
Formidable and invincible, the old eunuch was trapped within the monstrous Ten Suns Sky Formation.
The Ten Suns Sky Formation was incredibly powerful.
In the distance, the Ten Golden Crows and the ten princes simultaneously set up the Ten Suns Sky Formation, trapping a powerful Heavenly Realm expert inside!
anwhile, in the sky above the palace, Nie Fancheng was also surrounded by another group of people.
To be precise, he was surrounded by three individuals.
One of them, dressed in a golden dragon robe and wearing a flat-topped crown, stared directly at Nie Fancheng. His attire was similar to Nie Fancheng's, with a slightly raised forehead and eyes that shone like lightning. His face was imposing and dominant.
This was the Holy Emperor of the Taishou Heavenly Court, Lu Guitian!
Although his na might sound sowhat awkward, no one dared to mock him. The Holy Emperor of Taishou, Lu Guitian!
The second person, Zhong Shan recognized. A fierce man carrying a giant gourd, a formidable figure Zhong Shan couldn't match—Longevity Realm Master, Shen Ya Daojun.
The third person appeared to hold a high status, with a golden, radiant appearance, even his skin glimring gold. A faint heat emanated from him. This man could only be the supre leader of the Crow Clan, Wuhuan!
Surrounding Nie Fancheng were so of the most powerful figures in Shenzhou, all top-tier Heavenly Realm experts. A Holy Emperor, a Holy Land Master, and a Clan Supre Leader.
These were all prominent figures, each one alone was a force to be reckoned with. Yet now, three such powerhouses appeared together, seemingly forming an alliance to confront Nie Fancheng.
The group of people in the sky were clearly subordinates of the Taishou Heavenly Court.
Among them, Zhong Shan noticed another familiar face—Monk Sekong?
Monk Sekong, still wearing his monk robes, stood out among the group.
"Esteed alchemists, do not be afraid. We co with the sincerity of the Taishou Heavenly Court!" Monk Sekong suddenly said with a smile.
The sudden turn of events left everyone uneasy. The peaceful Ten Thousand Pills Conference had been disrupted by this group of unparalleled powerhouses.
But there was nothing they could do. This group was too powerful.
The Ten Golden Crows, the Ten Golden Crow Princes, twenty ultimate Heavenly Realm experts. Just these alone could have swept through the Ten Thousand Pills Conference without opposition.
But now, there was the Holy Emperor of Great Li, Nie Fancheng! The Holy Emperor of Taishou, Lu Guitian! Longevity Realm Master, Shen Ya Daojun! Crow Clan Supre, Wuhuan! And that unknown old eunuch!
Five Heavenly Realm experts! The strongest beings in existence. Even just one of these individuals could shake the world with a stomp of their foot. Now, five of them had gathered in one place!
Five Heavenly Realm experts? Such a scene had only been seen during the legendary tis of ancient gods creating the world!
Monk Sekong's sudden outburst interrupted everyone's thoughts.
"The Taishou Heavenly Court sincerely invites you to discuss the alchemical arts with us!" Monk Sekong said with a smile.
The aning was clear: as top-tier alchemists of Shenzhou, the Taishou Heavenly Court needed you. None of you will leave; co with us obediently!
But these alchemists were not ones to be easily intimidated. Most had devoted their lives to alchemy, living in harmony with their craft, indifferent to worldly matters. Master-level figures were not the type to be coerced by a few threats from Monk Sekong.
"Humph! Little monk, don't think you can force to work for you! Not unless I'm dead!" an alchemist angrily retorted.
"Hehe, no need to get angry, old alchemist. Everything will be fine once we reach the Taishou Heavenly Court. You can curse all you want, but no one is leaving today!" Monk Sekong said with a smile.
Above, the four Heavenly Realm experts faced off. Even the Holy Emperor of Taishou didn't interrupt Monk Sekong's words.
This ti, the Taishou Heavenly Court had deployed a significant force, including the emperor, the supre leader, the Ten Golden Crow Princes, and many other top experts, determined to capture everyone.
Monk Sekong spoke without restraint, his many powerful allies watching over the entire conference. They couldn't let anyone escape. With such backing, Monk Sekong beca even more audacious.
Below, no one spoke. Even the Blue Fla Emperor looked pale, his hands trembling slightly, feeling fear.
"Enough! This is the Blue Fla Empire, not your Taishou Heavenly Court! Show so respect!" Alchemy Sage Lan Longhu coldly rebuked.
Though knowing he couldn't match them, Lan Longhu, as a mber of the Blue Fla Empire, couldn't stand by while these intruders ran rampant. The Blue Fla Emperor might not dare, but Lan Longhu would!
"Oh?" Monk Sekong imdiately turned his head.
He saw the Blue Fla Emperor standing next to Alchemy Sage Lan Longhu. Though the Blue Fla Emperor was angry, he didn't dare to speak out. Monk Sekong displayed a peculiar smile as he looked at Lan Longhu, whose eyebrows were raised in fury.
Monk Sekong, displaying remarkable self-control, didn't get angry. Instead, he smirked. He knew it was impossible to subdue these people imdiately, but...
Just as Monk Sekong was smirking, his expression suddenly froze. The smile on his face twisted into an awkward grimace.
He had spotted that person—the one who haunted his thoughts, the one he feared most: Zhong Shan!
Zhong Shan was staring directly at him, eyes blazing. Monk Sekong shuddered.
If there was anyone Monk Sekong feared most, it wasn't Prince Lietian or the other Heavenly Realm experts; it was Zhong Shan. Despite only having clashed with Zhong Shan once, Monk Sekong had stayed out of subsequent events. Yet, he remained deeply afraid of Zhong Shan, this enigmatic and fearso figure.
An overwhelming fear and sense of doom gripped him instinctively. Though his cultivation was low, Monk Sekong was highly valued by Prince Lietian and held so sway within the Taishou Heavenly Court. Otherwise, he wouldn't be handling this situation. His acute sensitivity, not of the five senses but of a more ethereal, spiritual nature, set him apart.
Zhong Shan was utterly terrifying! He had to stay far away from him!
Seeing Zhong Shan again, Monk Sekong shivered and wanted to flee.
His first thought was to get away imdiately. But could he leave now?
Monk Sekong glanced around. The emperor, the supre leader, the Daoist Lord, the Ten Golden Crow Princes, and other powerful Taishou Heavenly Court allies were all present. Why should he be afraid of Zhong Shan now?
Gaining so courage from the surrounding powerhouses, Monk Sekong looked at Zhong Shan again. He shivered once more. No, regardless of the circumstances, his life was paramount. He couldn't risk it, no matter what.
Resolving this, Monk Sekong's face twisted several tis before he turned to a person beside him.
"Grandmaster, I suddenly have a stomachache. I need to leave. I'm sorry, but you'll have to handle this. My apologies!" Monk Sekong said quickly and then turned to run.
In an instant, he was gone. Was it really a stomachache?
A stomachache? The group that had co with Monk Sekong all had black lines of frustration on their foreheads.
Below, the alchemists were also exasperated, each one with a deep scowl on their face.
