Chapter 0627: Killing a Chicken to Warn the Monkeys
Lei Peng Mountain, Lei Peng Hall.
“It’s been two months already. Strange—why hasn’t there been any news from the Divine King?!”, said an silver-haired elder on the main hall, frowning.
This silver-haired elder was Luo Qi, the seventh elder of Lei Peng Mountain.
Due to Silver Fox Mountain, Huang Long had used arrays to seal off and isolate hundreds of millions of miles around it, so outsiders were unaware that Xiberei and the others were trapped there by Huang Long’s arrays.
“Haha, Elder Luo Qi, you’re overthinking it. Our Divine King, together with Divine Kings Leo and Opot, will surely destroy Silver Fox Mountain! That wretched Huang Long—even if he knows how to craft sacred king treasures, so what? In the Chaos Divine Realm, strength speaks volumes. No matter how skilled one is at crafting divine artifacts, it remains inferior!” said a purple-haired young man sitting beside Luo Qi, laughing nonchalantly.
This purple-haired young man was Ye Kehu, the eighth elder of Lei Peng Mountain.
“Exactly, Elder Luo Qi. The Divine King must already be reaping the rewards from this!” said another elder in the hall, smirking lasciviously.
The others nodded in agreement, laughing heartily.
Those women on Silver Fox Mountain—even they found them despicable, especially those elders like Una, who were also Supreme Gods.
Ye Kehu asked, “Has Elder Xiuhu gone to Keithel City?”
“Mm. I heard that Remif, the ancestor of the Keithel family, ordered the destruction of the Leimond family. He’s gone to join in the fun!” Luo Qi replied.
“That’s good. Killing a chicken to warn the monkeys!” Ye Kehu said coldly. “If those families still refuse to heed reason and cling to Silver Fox Mountain, destroy them all!”
Just then, a sudden loud roar echoed, causing the entire Lei Peng Mountain to shake.
Inside the hall, Ye Kehu and the five others paled.
Outside the hall, a Lei Peng Mountain guard captain rushed in in panic.
“What’s going on?!” Luo Qi demanded sharply.
The guard captain, face filled with panic, replied respectfully, “Reporting to Elder Luo Qi—there are people outside, attacking our Lei Peng Mountain!”
Luo Qi and the six others looked extremely grim.
Attacking Lei Peng Mountain?!
“Hmph. I really want to see which death-seeking fool dares to attack our Lei Peng Mountain!” Ye Kehu stood up abruptly, his body radiating fierce lightning-based Supreme God power.
“Wait!” Just as Ye Kehu was about to leave, Luo Qi called him back.
Ye Kehu turned to look at him.
“Since someone dares to attack our Lei Peng Mountain, they must have some backing. And since the Divine King isn’t here, we’d better be careful. Let’s go out together!” Luo Qi said to the other elders in the hall.
The other elders exchanged glances and nodded.
“Let’s go!” Luo Qi and his five companions flew off from Leipeng Mountain and headed toward it.
After a while, they arrived.
“Huang Long, it’s you guys!” When Luo Qi and his group saw that those attacking Leipeng Mountain were Huang Long and his men, their expressions changed drastically—filled with shock and disbelief.
How could Huang Long appear here?! The first thought that crossed Luo Qi and his companions’ minds was the same as when they met Huluf in Kithel City: this man, who they thought should have died on Silver Fox Mountain long ago, was standing right before them alive!
They couldn’t figure out why.
Since Huang Long hadn’t changed his appearance, Luo Qi and his group recognized him at a glance.
“Silver Fox Mountain, Una!” Ye Khuh’s eyes sparkled as he saw Una and the other two behind Huang Long.
The appearance of Una and the others here made them feel that something was strange.
“Huang Long, I didn’t expect you to escape from Silver Fox Mountain!” One of the elders, having regained his composure, sneered at Huang Long. Like Huluf, he also believed that Huang Long and his men had escaped from Silver Fox Mountain.
Zerom’s lips twitched upon hearing this.
These fools—how could they all assume his master had escaped from Silver Fox Mountain? Did his master really have no other possibility but to escape?!
“I didn’t expect you to come and throw yourself into our hands!” Ye Khuh said coldly with a laugh.
Although Huang Long was strong, in Ye Khuh’s eyes, with the help of Leipeng Mountain’s grand formation, it would be no problem to trap Huang Long and his men.
“Activate the grand formation to attack!” As soon as Ye Khuh spoke, Luo Ke’s sharp voice rang out. Then, beams of light shot into the sky. The lightning already surrounding Leipeng Mountain intensified dramatically, becoming violent, and quickly spread, encasing Huang Long and his men inside.
Seeing the Leipeng Mountain Grand Formation, the Thunder God Annihilation Formation, successfully trap Huang Long and his men so effortlessly, Luo Ke and the others were stunned before their faces lit up with joy.
They knew the power of this formation—protected by their strength, no one except a God King could break through it.
“Haha, they say Huang Long is so powerful, but I think he’s just average!” Ye Khuh laughed heartily.
No matter how strong Huang Long was, he couldn’t do much inside this Thunder God Annihilation Formation!
The other elders also smiled in agreement.
“When the God King returns and sees that we’ve captured Huang Long, he might reward each of us with a Thunder Origin Crystal out of joy!” one of the elders said with a smile.
“Not bad. Let’s not kill this Yellow Dragon for now. Save his life and let the Divine King deal with him when he returns victorious!”
“Consider this kid lucky. But even if we don’t kill him, torturing him first to vent our anger will be satisfying!”
Listening to the laughter of the other elders, Luo Qi remained silent. He glanced at the grand array. Inside it, Yellow Dragon and his companions didn’t show the panic he had expected; instead, they appeared calm. No—upon closer inspection, Luo Qi could even see mockery in Yellow Dragon’s eyes, as deep as the starry sky.
Luo Qi felt uneasy.
“Be careful everyone. Order everyone to fully activate the array and attack!” Anxious, Luo Qi issued another cautious order.
Seeing this, Yekehu smiled and said, “Elder Luo Qi, Yellow Dragon is already trapped inside the array. There’s no need to be so cautious. Even if this Yellow Dragon has some extraordinary skills, how could he possibly escape the Thunder God Annihilation Array? You know very well how powerful this array is!”
The Thunder God Annihilation Array was such that even the Divine King would need considerable effort to escape. Dozens of supreme divine warriors had been trapped in it for hundreds of years without being able to free themselves.
Luo Qi nodded.
He was well aware of the array’s power. Yet, out of concern, he still ordered the main divine warriors of Leipeng Mountain to fully activate the array and attack.
Instantly, within the array, serpentine dragons formed from purple lightning rushed at Yellow Dragon and his companions from all directions.
Zherom watched these attacking dragons and sneered, “Master, Leipeng Mountain actually dares to try to trap you with an array!” In front of a master of arrays like Yellow Dragon, it was like showing off one’s skills in front of a master craftsman.
If Yellow Dragon could use an array to trap the three great divine kings of Hebray, how could this Thunder God Annihilation Array possibly trap him?!
Yellow Dragon allowing himself to be trapped was obviously intentional.
Watching the dragons charging from all sides, Yellow Dragon thought for a moment and summoned the Five Directions Spiritual Flags. As soon as they appeared, the energies of the five elements surrounded him. Then, with another thought, a celebration cloud appeared above him, and the Thunder Gathering Vessel rose from it.
Although the Thunder God Annihilation Array seemed crude in Yellow Dragon’s eyes, these divine lightning bolts were extremely beneficial for the Thunder Gathering Vessel. Naturally, he wouldn’t let them go to waste.
With the Thunder Gathering Vessel activated, the lightning dragons, which had been blocked by the Five Directions Spiritual Flags, found an outlet for their fury. Roaring, they charged at the vessel, but as soon as they approached, they were sucked entirely inside by its powerful absorbing force.
“Hm, what’s going on?!” Standing outside the grand array, Luo Qi sensed something unusual within the Wanlei Mie Shen Array and exclaimed in surprise.
Yekhu and the others also noticed the anomaly.
However, as the array launched its attack, surrounded by lightning, they couldn’t see clearly what was inside. When they tried to use their divine senses to investigate, those senses were repelled by a mysterious force.
Luo Qi frowned.
“Hmph, it seems this Yellow Dragon does have some tricks up his sleeve. But so what? No matter how much he makes a fuss, he can’t break through the Wanlei Mie Shen Array!” Yekhu retracted his divine senses and sneered.
Although there was something strange with the Wanlei Mie Shen Array, he wasn’t too concerned due to his confidence in its power.
But just as he finished speaking, a deafening roar came from inside the array, and its terrifying energy fluctuations could be clearly felt even outside.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Then, silence ensued.
Luo Qi and the five others exchanged glances, all looking grave. At that moment, even Yekhu’s smile disappeared.
“Let’s go—we need to go there now to protect the array personally!” Luo Qi said thoughtfully, feeling uneasy. He believed it would be safer if all six of them stepped in to protect the array.
This time, Yekhu and the others didn’t object. But just as they were about to fly toward the center of the array to protect it, they felt the space around them surge, with the lightning energy becoming chaotic.
Luo Qi and the five others stopped in their tracks and stared in shock at the array. Inside, amidst darkness, two dragons—one of water and one of fire—were faintly visible.
“The lightning energy of the array is weakening continuously!” Luo Qi suddenly cried out.
Yekhu and the others’ expressions changed. When they used their divine senses to sense it, they confirmed that the lightning energy within the Wanlei Mie Shen Array was indeed weakening. At first, the change was subtle, but gradually it grew stronger, as if the lightning energy was being devoured by a swirling vortex.
“Hurry!” Luo Qi said firmly, his voice filled with urgency and anxiety. He transformed into a streak of light and headed toward the center of the array. Yekhu and the others also realized the severity of the situation and rushed after him.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Qi and the five others arrived at the center of the array. They all unleashed their supreme divine essences, sending waves of divine power that flowed into the mysterious patterns at the core of the array.
As their supreme divine powers flowed in, the weakening of the array’s lightning energy finally stopped. Sensing that the situation had stabilized, Luo Qi and the five others breathed a sigh of relief.
