Chapter 3668: Unexpected Changes
As Jian Chen approached them, he could finally make out the contents that they conveyed through the hidden senses of the soul due to the drastic difference in cultivation.
“Don’t worry, uncle Tian. We can definitely save you this time.”
“Apart from me, uncle Lan, uncle Mowen and my sworn brother, Immortal Emperor He Yu, have all come. Immortal Emperor He Yu is the disciple of a figure of great significance. He’s able to take us through the defensive formation of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.”
“Uncle Tian, we’ll kill Xiang Hong, the great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants who guards this place. After killing her together, we’ll steal her tablet and open the cage.”
Through the senses of the soul, Jian Chen could roughly estimate his cultivation to be around the Second Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor, but he was unable to find where he was hiding.
“You can’t!” The Immortal Emperor trapped in the metal cage shook his head gently. His cultivation was completely sealed up, so he could not use the senses of his soul. However, he was not bold enough to emit any sound either, so he could only communicate through shaping his lips. “Once you start fighting here, the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants will notice immediately. You can’t fight here.”
“Don’t worry, uncle Tian. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants won’t be able to get around to us momentarily because we’ve already made arrangements,” the senses of the soul communicated in guarantee.
Afterwards, they did not communicate any further. Jian Chen had no idea if the person hidden in the shadows had left.
However, after learning about their plan, Jian Chen instead began to frown. They wanted to rescue someone, so that would definitely alarm the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Even if they managed to rescue the person successfully, that would greatly increase the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants’ vigilance and increase their security measures. That would affect and obstruct him to a certain degree.
“Should I stop them?” However, as soon as Jian Chen thought of that, a great rumble rang out from the surface, and the ground shook violently. An earthquake occurred.
A mountain in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had already been blown to pieces. Lightning and fire wreaked havoc in the air, radiating with startling pressure.
The sudden incident immediately alarmed all of the experts in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Countless powerful presences emerged from everywhere. Over a hundred Immortal Monarchs and over twenty Immortal Emperors instantly appeared near the mountain that had exploded.
The only two Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors in the current Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants, Xiang Bai and Xiang Zhiru, had also appeared.
“This is an Immortal-destroying Thunder,” Xiang Bai said sternly. His face was sunken. Shortly afterwards, he looked around and roared furiously, “Who is it? Who detonated an Immortal-destroying Thunder here? I hereby order that all disciples, including elders and even great elders, are forbidden from studying Immortal-destroying Thunders inside the sect!”
“Investigate this! What’s the story behind the Immortal-destroying Thunder here? Who exactly detonated it?” Xiang Bai was furious.
The Immortal Emperors and Immortal Monarchs in the air all had ugly expressions.
However, Xiang Zhiru’s eyes flickered as she stood beside Xiang Bai. She said with uncertainty, “Xiang Bai, do you think enemies might have infiltrated the sect?”
“Enemies infiltrating?” Xiang Bai was taken aback before immediately snorting coldly. “That’s impossible. Who’s bold enough to infiltrate our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants? And why would any of the existences who are capable of infiltrating our Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants use these petty tricks against us? They could annihilate us all with a flip of their hand.”
“It’s just as great elder Xiang Bai has said. Let alone the Reverent Observance Heaven, just how many organisations across the entire Immortals’ World are bold enough to damage the interior of our sect? Destroying our mountains and killing our disciples is an unforgivable deed.” A great elder expressed his support for that suggestion as soon as Xiang Bai finished talking.
However, as soon as he said that, another deafening rumble erupted. Extremely far away, another Immortal-destroying Thunder exploded, destroying another mountain.
“How dare they!” Xiang Bai flew into a fury. His presence as a Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor erupted as he immediately vanished.
“Don’t tell me enemies have actually infiltrated our sect?” At that moment, many of the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Emperors inside the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants began to waver.
It was not that they were not alert. Instead, the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants had stood dominate on the Reverent Observance Heaven for far too many years. Since the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants was far too powerful, they spent the recent years without any worries at all. Apart from the tremendous loss they suffered a few years ago from targeting the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, it had already been three million years since they were attacked or invaded.
Boom!
A third explosion erupted. This time, it was not an Immortal-destroying Thunder, but a great pile of supreme grade immortal crystals being detonated.
The next few explosions finally made the experts of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants accept the cruel truth. Enemies had infiltrated the sect.
Immediately, powerful senses of the soul began to sweep through the entire sect, searching every inch of land, wanting to find just how much more lurking danger was hiding in the sect.
However, despite being enveloped by the senses of all the Immortal Emperor’s souls, explosions continued to rumble endlessly. Regardless of how they searched and investigated, they were unable to find where the explosives were buried prematurely.
As for the people behind this, they failed to find them as well.
The entire Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants immediately flew into chaos.
Jian Chen also sensed the disturbance outside from the cave. He immediately became stern. He never thought that they would actually move so quickly. He could not stop them even if he tried.
“How dare you!”
At this moment, a furious roar rang out from deep underground. Together with the rumbling of fighting, the shockwaves of Immortal Emperors wreaked violent havoc.
As soon as the battle began, a simple talisman appeared at the entrance of the cave, automatically burning mid-air.
As the talisman burned, a mysterious power was gradually released. It seemed to be able to deceive the senses of the soul, preventing them from discovering the incident unfolding here.
Jian Chen seemed to sense it, as he was right there. He glanced back at the entrance, and a sliver of surprise flashed through his eyes. Soon after, he made his way towards where the battle occurred.
The bottom of the cave was a huge space. The surrounding walls flickered with the glow of a formation that fortified and protected the walls.
Five Immortal Emperors clashed in the centre of this space. They surrounded an old, dishevelled woman who resembled a beggar.
The old woman was one of the great elders of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Her name was Xiang Hong, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.
However, a blood-red dagger was planted in the old woman’s back.
The dagger shone with a devilish red glow, and it sucked away the old woman’s blood.
Out of the four middle-aged men who encircled her, three of them were Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors and one was at the Third Heavenly Layer.
However, the old woman’s battle prowess was extraordinary. Despite her injury, she still had the upper hand as she faced off against the four of them.
“You three keep her busy and buy some time for me.” At this moment, one of the Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor middle-aged men spoke up. With that, he pulled away from the battle and sat down mid-air in the distance.
In the next moment, a simple talisman appeared in his hand. He bit open his finger and used his blood as ink, rapidly writing something on the talisman.
Immediately, a powerful presence gradually began to radiate from the talisman.
In the distance, Xiang Hong’s expression warped as she clashed against the three Immortal Emperors. The presence that radiated from the talisman made her feel very uneasy.
She knew that she could not allow him to complete the talisman. She immediately let out a furious roar like the trumpet of an ancient colossal elephant.
Shortly afterwards, Xiang Hong’s body began to swell. She turned into a blue elephant that stood at ten metres tall.
