News of Meng Yi

Heavenly Dragon Temple suffered heavy losses in this battle. Of its more than one hundred Void Returning Stage powerhouses, less than half remain. Such a brutal war has shrouded Heavenly Dragon Temple in gloom.

Of course, what they felt most strongly was hatred for the Great Qin Imperial Family. This hatred burned like a raging fire in the hearts of all the powerful members of Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Monks are supposed to be people who have renounced worldly desires and are free from worldly attachments. However, precisely because of this, the less they contend with others, the more terrifying they become when they get angry. Just like that Zen Master Da De Self-Detonation, the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple followed Self-Detonation. Such a scene, such bloodthirstiness, is something even Demonic Path Cultivator might not possess.

"The Great Qin Imperial Family! The Ying Clan!" The Zen Master Da Wu's face was no longer that of a venerable monk. Looking at the few remaining disciples of Heavenly Dragon Temple, he gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and two streams of Zen Master Da Wu tears slid down his cheeks. Heavenly Dragon Temple had been almost completely destroyed in his hands. How could he face the ancestors of Heavenly Dragon Temple after this?

"Zen Master Da Wu, this matter was our oversight. We should have sent someone to make contact much earlier," Zen Master Da Wu Zhuge Xiang said to Zen Master Da Wu with a heavy voice, feeling a pang of sympathy as he saw tears welling up in his eyes.

Over the years, he had received much kindness from Heavenly Dragon Temple, but today, Heavenly Dragon Temple was almost destroyed, and Zhuge Xiang felt the same way.

"This matter has nothing to do with Fellow Daoist Zhuge and the others. It was we who did not accept your invitation that day." Although Zen Master Da Wu was filled with anger and grief at this moment, he was, after all, a highly accomplished monk who had attained enlightenment. Although his voice was somewhat hoarse, he still understood the truth.

"Although most of the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple have perished, the Great Qin Imperial Family has suffered even greater losses. Today's battle can be said to have brought glory to the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple. I urge all eminent monks to join us in our reunion. You are all heroes of our Alliance Rebel Army," the Great Elder of the Asura Sect stepped forward and addressed Zen Master Da Wu and the others.

The Golden Body Bodhisattva put away his Jade Bodhi Tree and didn't say a word to the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple. Back when the Qin State Six Nations the six kingdoms, it was Heavenly Dragon Temple that led the destruction of Myriad Buddha Temple. Although so many years have passed, the Golden Body Bodhisattva still doesn't have much regard for the monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Ao Dong, the crown prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, reverted to his human form after shedding his True Dragon Body. He nodded in agreement with the Great Elder, saying, "Fellow members of Heavenly Dragon Temple, although we suffered heavy losses in today's battle, your strength is truly admirable."

"Alright, let's go and join forces," Zen Master Da Wu said, putting aside his grief. "Although we have won the battle, we should not stay here any longer."

Jin San from the Ten Myriad Monster Kingdom paid no attention to the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple. To be precise, Jin San's entire focus was on the Eastern Emperor Bell in his hands. He was fondling the Eastern Emperor Bell with great affection, and his face was full of undisguised smiles. As Golden Crow, being able to reclaim the Eastern Emperor Bell, a treasure of the Demon Race, was a joyous occasion worthy of celebration for the entire Demon Race.

"Congratulations, the Eastern Emperor Bell has fallen back into the hands of your Demon Race." Zhuge Xiang could understand Jin San's Jin San expression and congratulated him on the way back.

"Not at all, we were able to retrieve the Eastern Emperor Bell thanks to Fellow Daoist Zhuge's help. From this day forward, you are a friend of our Myriad Monster Kingdom forever. With the Eastern Emperor Bell and the Demon Mirror, the rise of our Demon Race is just around the corner," Jin San said, putting away the Eastern Emperor Bell and expressing his gratitude without any attempt to hide it in response to Zhuge Xiang's congratulations.

On the Demon Race side, Jin San was overjoyed to have obtained the Eastern Emperor Bell. However, in Xianyang City, inside the Imperial Palace, the Great Qin Emperor, seeing True Person Changfeng return with twenty or thirty defeated soldiers, already had a grim expression. Upon hearing that his Eastern Emperor Bell had been lost, the Great Qin Emperor's face became even more somber, almost dripping with water.

Although the Great Qin Emperor knew that the Eastern Emperor Bell was likely doomed once he sensed the disappearance of his spiritual imprint within it, he still harbored a sliver of hope.

"The loss of the Eastern Emperor Bell and today's defeat are my responsibility. I, Changfeng, am willing to accept His Your Majesty's punishment..." True Person Changfeng said respectfully, kneeling on one knee with his head bowed.

"Your Majesty, the sect Sect Master has done his best. It was only because those bald monks from Heavenly Dragon Temple Self-Detonation one by one that we were unable to stop them. Moreover, the Golden Body Bodhisattva and Zhuge Xiang and others also came to support us that day..." Seeing True Person Changfeng's willing acceptance of punishment, a Cultivator at the Great Accomplishment Stage Completion Realm among the twenty or thirty defeated soldiers said urgently to the Great Qin Emperor.

The Great Qin Emperor stared grimly at the bowed and apologetic True Person Changfeng before him. The loss of his Half-Immortal Artifact had truly made the Great Qin Emperor want to kill him. However, True Person Changfeng was the Sect Master of Kunlun Mountain, and his cultivation was almost equal to his own. Moreover, with the Rebel Army attacking, he needed manpower at that time. Even if he wanted to vent his anger, he should wait until after the Rebel Army was quelled.

With a thought racing through his mind, the Great Qin Emperor suppressed his anger, put away his gloomy expression, and personally bent down to help True Person Changfeng up. He said in a gentle tone, "Changfeng, what are you doing? We are close friends. Although the Eastern Emperor Bell was taken away, it was not your fault. How could I punish you?"

"I am ashamed!" True Person Changfeng looked up at the Great Qin Emperor's amiable face, his expression filled with Guilt.

"Nothing more. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to settle accounts with those traitors and settle scores today," the Great Qin Emperor said with a wave of his hand, though it was unclear whether he was speaking to True Person Changfeng or to himself.

The news of the ambush on the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple quickly spread throughout the entire Great Qin Empire. Although the Heavenly Dao's perception was now blocked, no one could ignore the fluctuations in the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth caused by the battle of more than two hundred Void Returning Stage experts. Naturally, the outcome of this war also quickly spread throughout the Cultivation World of the Great Qin Empire.

The Great Qin Imperial Family, with a force of over a hundred experts at the Spirit Severing Realm or above, surrounded and attacked the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple. Originally, the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple should have been wiped out in this battle, but unexpectedly, the eminent monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple, whose ferocity had been unleashed, Self-Detonation one after another, thus suppressing the experts of the Great Qin Imperial Family.

Later, after the strongmen of the Rebel Army came to their aid, even the Half-Immortal Artifact, the Eastern Emperor Bell, bestowed upon True Person Changfeng by the Great Qin Emperor, was taken away. If he hadn't run away quickly, Elder Changfeng, as the Sect Master of Kunlun Mountain, might have perished there.

The news of the battle, once it spread throughout the Great Qin Empire, truly shocked the entire empire. No one had expected that the rebel Rebel Army formed by the Asura Sect would be so powerful.

Especially Heavenly Dragon Temple, those monks who are usually so focused on self-cultivation, how could they have such courage? One after another, they embraced the enemy Self-Detonation? Just imagining the scene of dozens of Void Returning Stage Cultivator Self-Detonation is enough to shock people.

After returning to the Asura Sect, Heavenly Dragon Temple successfully joined forces with the Rebel Army. With the addition of Heavenly Dragon Temple's strength, the overall strength of the Rebel Army was greatly enhanced. As for Heavenly Dragon Temple's ordeal, Luo Ba and others highly acknowledged the heroic deeds of the high monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple.

"Zhuge Xiang, where is Meng Yi? Wasn't he with you to rescue him?" But upon returning, the God of Slaughter Bai Qi pulled Zhuge Xiang aside and asked.

"I'm sorry, General Bai Qi, we also don't know the whereabouts of General Meng Yi," Bai Qi Zhuge Xiang replied, shaking his head.

The rescue team originally consisted of six people: Zhuge Xiang, the Golden Body Bodhisattva, the Great Elder of the Asura Sect, Ao Dong from the East Sea Dragon Palace, Jin San from the Myriad Monster Kingdom, and General Meng Yi from the military. However, as they traveled to the place where the high monks of Heavenly Dragon Temple were fighting, General Meng Yi inexplicably disappeared. Zhuge Xiang and the others had discussed this matter, but no one could pinpoint exactly when he disappeared.

"Disappeared without a trace?" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's reply, Bai Qi's brows furrowed tightly.

Meng Yi, a pillar of the army, whose strength rivals mine, why has he disappeared without a trace? Moreover, his disappearance went unnoticed even by Zhuge Xiang and the Golden Body Bodhisattva. Could it be that something has happened?

"General Bai Qi, General Meng has returned!" Just as Bai Qi was frowning and secretly wondering, a young general suddenly rushed to Bai Qi's side, knelt on one knee, and said urgently, "Please come, General, General Meng is seriously injured."

"Oh?" Upon hearing the young general's report, Bai Qi's expression changed slightly. He nodded, hurriedly stood up, and rushed out.

"He's returned, badly injured?" Upon hearing this, Zhuge Xiang's expression changed slightly, and he followed Bai Qi out.

The six set off, but halfway there General Meng Yi disappeared without a trace. Zhuge Xiang was also very curious about where he went and when he disappeared.

Inside the military camp, General Meng Yi lay on his bed, his face pale and his body soaked in blood. He looked as if he had been pulled out of Blood Water, with most of his bones broken. He was barely clinging to life.

"General Meng, what exactly happened to you?" Seeing Meng Yi's miserable state, Bai Qi's expression changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the General, I... I've received intelligence that the Great Qin Imperial Family is preparing to target the bloodline left behind by the First Emperor. We must be on guard..." Although he was already at his limit and could faint at any moment, Meng Yi still persisted, using all his remaining strength to report loudly. (To be continued...)
