As Chen Wen left, the people at the scene gradually dispersed as well.
The once-lively Heavenly Thunder Peak had become incomparably grim at this moment.
Before long, Jiang Taichu and the others swept away everything from Heavenly Thunder Peak, leaving behind nothing but ruins.
No one dared step forward to stop any of it, nor did anyone dare try.
Within an inner space somewhere in the Heavenly Thunder Peak range.
Several dozen men and women sat there.
Without exception, they were all in the Heavenly King Realm, their auras vast as the sea.
Yet at this moment, every one of them wore an extremely ugly expression.
At that moment, an old man named Fu Xiao, seated in the place of honor, spoke. "This is going too far. That dog bastard has gone too far."
"If we can't win back this face, how are we supposed to face the Imperial Son? How are we supposed to face the Imperial Son?"
As he spoke, he slammed his palm onto the table beside him, shattering it into pieces.
The moment those words fell, not a single person present dared to respond.
In truth, they should have gone out to provide support during the battle just now.
But after deliberation, they ultimately chose not to show themselves.
Jiang Taichu had come with overwhelming momentum, and they did not dare confirm whether he had hidden more forces in the shadows.
As one of the Imperial Son's reserve forces, they absolutely could not plunge themselves into danger of annihilation over a moment of anger.
"I propose that we invoke the Imperial Son's name and mobilize the Upper Realm's forces to descend. Only then can we deal with the force behind that boy."
After a brief silence, an old man named Tang Yuan spoke.
"I don't agree. The Upper Realm's forces can only be mobilized with the Imperial Son's permission. Otherwise, we cannot bear that responsibility."
An old man named He Chong shook his head.
"I second that."
"I second that."
"..."
In the end, the majority still agreed with He Chong's view.
"I got through. I got through to the Imperial Son!"
Just as the atmosphere fell into dead silence once more, an exceedingly excited voice rang out.
The instant those words came out, a fierce gleam shot from everyone's eyes.
In fact, before Chen Wen had even arrived, they had already used their exclusive Sound Transmission Talismans to contact Chu Tianlong.
Yet they had been unable to reach him the entire time.
Especially since Chu Tianlong had promised to return and preside over the tea gathering, yet there had been no sign of him for so long.
This made the ominous premonition in their hearts grow ever stronger.
Now that they had reached Chu Tianlong, the hearts they had kept hanging in their throats could finally settle halfway.
"Bring it to me. Quickly, quickly, quickly!" Fu Xiao urgently called out.
Xiao Shan did not dare delay and hurriedly handed the Sound Transmission Talisman to Fu Xiao.
Fu Xiao took the Sound Transmission Talisman, drew a deep breath, and only then infused it with Spiritual Energy.
"What is it?" At once, a gentle yet absolutely authoritative male voice sounded.
It was the Imperial Son.
He was fine.
Fu Xiao finally let go of his worries completely. "It is wonderful that you are unharmed, Imperial Son."
"I am in an Exotic Space. I only woke up not long ago, so it is normal that you could not contact me."
Chu Tianlong spoke blandly, without much fluctuation in his voice.
"Then this lowly one can rest easy." Fu Xiao said repeatedly.
"Speak. What happened?" Chu Tianlong asked again.
He had heard something unusual in Fu Xiao's tone, so he knew the other party had not contacted him merely to confirm his safety.
Tang Yuan immediately grew solemn and recounted everything that had happened these past few days in full detail.
At the same time, within an Exotic Space.
A man wreathed in golden tribulation light stood there, with one Emperor phantom after another crouching behind him. His expression was icy, while shocking radiance spread through his eyes.
Golden streams of dust suddenly fell around him, and space twisted into a curtain of water, as though it could collapse at any moment.
The man possessed long golden hair, an exceedingly handsome face, and a calm yet majestic bearing that instinctively made others wish to submit.
This man was none other than Chu Tianlong.
Only after a long while did Chu Tianlong rein in the wildly surging aura within and around him. He said blandly, "You said this person is called Ye Wuqing and comes from a Hidden Force?"
"Yes. This is the information this lowly one obtained from Ji Youyue," Fu Xiao quickly replied.
"I still need half a month to accept the inheritance, so I cannot return for now."
"Do this. In this Imperial Son's name, join forces with the factions where Mu Jiuzhou and the others are."
"As for this Imperial Son's forces in the Upper Realm, you may notify them as well. They must be in position within half a month."
"After half a month, this Imperial Son will personally meet that boy."
"Understood. This lowly one will certainly complete the task." Fu Xiao immediately said, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.
He had waited for this moment for a very, very long time.
"Mm. That is all."
With that, Chu Tianlong directly cut off the connection.
Chu Tianlong gently clenched the Sound Transmission Talisman, and the depths of his eyes gradually turned chillingly cold. "I do not care who you are, nor whether you are deliberately targeting me."
"Now, I no longer need to look at anyone's face, nor do I need to rely on anyone's strength."
"This time is perfect. This Imperial Son will use a disciple of your Hidden Force as a stepping stone, building momentum for my return to the Emperor Clan."
At that thought, the cold gloom in Chu Tianlong's expression gradually faded, and he fell silent once more.
This Immortal inheritance was extremely important to him.
Therefore, nothing could go wrong during these half a month.
With this inheritance, combined with his own physique and Emperor Bone, even if he returned to the Upper Realm, he would have the capital to contend with those peak prodigies.
Meanwhile, within the Destiny Imperial Clan in the Upper Realm.
Chen Badao also received a transmission from Chen Wudi. "You said Chu Tianlong has contacted his subordinates?"
Chen Wudi nodded. "Yes. Chu Tianlong is currently within an alternate space."
"We tried to determine the location, but there was too little time, so we failed.
"When we tried to investigate again, we found that all traces had disappeared."
"Therefore, I can basically conclude that space can isolate all forms of detection."
"During that brief period, did anyone else contact him?" Chen Badao asked meaningfully.
Chen Wudi shook his head. "No."
"Little Wen really got it right. They really have curled up and hidden away."
Chen Badao gave a cold laugh, then asked, "What about Little Wen? What is his situation now?"
Without any hesitation, Chen Wudi directly recounted everything Chen Wen had done during this period.
"That is somewhat interesting." Chen Badao chuckled, then said, "Since Little Wen wants to play, we will play along with him."
"Like this: if you can find Chu Tianlong's location, do not act rashly for now. Let us see how great a storm he can stir up."
"Understood," Chen Wudi replied.
"Then continue investigating." Chen Badao said nothing further and directly severed the connection.
Naturally, Chen Wen knew nothing of all this.
After returning to his residence, he entered the Cultivation Room at once.
This time, not only had he obtained six portions of Destiny Nirvana Liquid, he had also gained two additional Destiny Treasure Chests.
Adding Zhao Tianlong's portion, he now had seven drops of Destiny Nirvana Liquid and three Destiny Treasure Chests.
He wanted to see what kind of gains he could obtain this time.
With that thought, Chen Wen hurriedly took out the three Destiny Treasure Chests.
