Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1631 - 1628: Crisis at the Cloud Dragon Palace!

Hei Guang pushed his speed to the limit, escaping over tens of thousands of miles in one breath.

Not until he reached the sect’s Outer Mountain and confirmed that Li Chen wasn’t following did he lean against the stone wall, gasping for air.

"Who goes there? The Cloud Dragon Palace is a restricted area, entry is forbidden. Otherwise, no mercy will be shown!"

Just then, a few disciples responsible for patrolling the mountain noticed something unusual and immediately shouted a warning.

However, before they even finished speaking, Hei Guang glared at them angrily and scolded sharply, "Huzi, are you blind, can’t even recognize me?"

The disciple known as Huzi, upon seeing that it was Hei Guang, immediately nodded and bowed.

"Senior Brother Hei Guang, it’s you! I thought it was some thief who didn’t know their place, coming to make trouble in our sect!"

Hei Guang, feeling guilty, glanced behind him and hurriedly asked, "Is Elder Zhu or Elder Li here?"

Huzi was taken aback by the question and curiously asked, "Senior Brother Hei Guang, is there something urgent for you to seek Elder Zhu?"

Not getting the answer he wanted, Hei Guang’s eyes turned red with urgency, and he demanded, "Do I need to report my actions to you?"

Huzi was so frightened he shivered and quickly said, "I don’t dare, I don’t dare."

"Elder Zhu is still in the sect, Elder Li seems to be in seclusion!"

Upon hearing Huzi’s response, Hei Guang instinctively looked back again before hurrying towards the sect’s Inner Mountain in a panic.

Elder Zhu saw Hei Guang returning alone and casually asked, "Hei Guang, why are you alone? What about Brother Yun Chong? Didn’t he come back with you?"

Hei Guang’s face was filled with grief as he said, "Elder Zhu, my master... is dead!"

"Your master is dead, what? Brother Yun Chong is dead?"

Elder Zhu was thunderstruck, his face full of disbelief.

"Hei Guang, is what you’re saying true?"

Hei Guang was on the verge of tears with urgency and said, "Elder Zhu, do you think I dare to joke about something so serious with you?"

Elder Zhu, seeing Hei Guang’s sorrowful expression, didn’t seem to be joking; his brows immediately knitted together like iron chains locking a boat.

"Hei Guang, tell me slowly, what happened? Brother Yun Chong was a genuine Mahayana Divine Monarch, who could have such divine skills to kill him?"

"It was Li Chen!"

At the mention of "Li Chen," Hei Guang couldn’t help but shiver.

Clearly, this name had already become his nightmare.

After listening to Hei Guang’s account of the events, Elder Zhu’s expression changed dramatically.

After a moment of contemplation, he quickly summoned a disciple and ordered, "Go to Elder Li’s cave, inform him of the major incident, and ask him to come to the main hall quickly!"

The disciple was startled by the order, showing a difficult expression, and stammered, "Master, Uncle Li seems to be in seclusion now; it might be a critical moment. If we disturb him abruptly, I fear..."

Before he could finish, Elder Zhu erupted in anger, shouting, "I told you to go, so go! Why all the nonsense?"

The disciple had never seen his master this furious and was frightened, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

The Cloud Dragon Palace has a total of seven elders!

However, three of them were taken to the Red Flame Star Domain by God Monarch Yunlong.

Currently, only four remain at the headquarters of Cloud Dragon Palace.

Among these four, the Inner Sect Grand Elder Yun Chong is the strongest, at the initial stage of a Mahayana Divine Monarch.

The remaining three are all at the Half-step Mahayana Realm.

However, these three have been in the Half-step Mahayana Realm for several hundred, even thousands of years.

They are just one breakthrough away from being true Mahayana Divine Monarchs.

It wouldn’t be too much to call them Quasi-Mahayana God Monarchs.

Soon, Elder Li, Elder Hong, and the others arrived at the meeting hall.

Elder Li was still seething with anger, looking at others as if they owed him five million they hadn’t returned.

But this was understandable; after all, anyone would be upset if disturbed at a crucial moment during seclusion.

Elder Hong was a female cultivator and also the only female among the seven elders of the Cloud Dragon Palace.

Upon entering the hall and seeing only Elder Zhu and not Great Elder Yun Chong, both Elder Li and Elder Hong were puzzled.

Like a firecracker ready to explode, Elder Li angrily questioned Elder Zhu.

"Senior Brother Zhu, why did you urgently call us here?"

Elder Hong looked around, not seeing Elder Yun Chong, and curiously asked, "Senior Brother Zhu, where is Brother Yun? Why don’t I see him?"

Elder Zhu, with a face full of grief, choked out, "Brother Yun Chong... is dead!"

"What? Brother Yun Chong is dead?"

Upon hearing Elder Zhu’s words, both Elder Li and Elder Hong stood frozen in shock.

Elder Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise, I wouldn’t have urgently summoned you here for a meeting!"

Even after confirmation, Elder Hong and Elder Li remained in disbelief.

"Senior Brother Zhu, what’s going on? Brother Yun Chong was a true Mahayana Divine Monarch; who could possess such divine skills to kill him?"

Elder Zhu did not answer directly but gave a glance to Hei Guang.

"Hei Guang, explain the situation to Elder Li and Elder Hong."

Hei Guang nodded, turned to Elder Li and Elder Hong, and saluted.

Then, without omitting anything, he recounted to them what he had previously told Elder Zhu.

Both Elder Li and Elder Hong were greatly shocked upon hearing this.

Even now, they found it difficult to believe the truth.

"Hei Guang, is everything you’ve said true?"

Seeing their disbelief, Hei Guang became anxious and immediately swore an oath.

Moreover, it was the most venomous kind of vow.

"Elder Li, Elder Hong, I, Hei Guang, dare to swear to the heavens, if there is any falsehood, may Five Thunders strike me down!"

Seeing Hei Guang’s determined expression, Elder Li and Elder Hong slowly began to accept this reality.

After all, there are divine beings three feet above one’s head.

For cultivators like them, such an oath cannot be casually made.

Any mistake could lead to the Heavenly Dao’s punishment, resulting in a tragic demise of both body and soul.

Elder Zhu, Elder Li, and Elder Hong exchanged glances.

With them silent, no one else dared to speak.

For a long moment, the entire meeting hall was deathly silent.

After a long pause, Elder Hong finally asked, "Senior Brother Zhu, has this matter been reported to the Sect Leader?"

The "Sect Leader" Elder Hong referred to was naturally God Monarch Yunlong!

Elder Zhu sighed and replied, "Alas, now the Sect Leader’s whereabouts are unknown, and I cannot contact him!"
