Thunder Sea, eighth level. Transformed into an azure dragon, True Lord Yingling crept forward with the utmost caution. At this moment, his body was covered in charred wounds, wreathed in violent thunderous aura.
After obtaining the Golden Embryo Xing Sha Pearl for Gu Lingxiao, he had silently infiltrated the eighth level, intending to investigate True Lord Xuan Qiong's condition. Like Xuanji, he too did not believe Xuan Qiong would perish so easily.
Even if he had fallen into a scheme, with Xuan Qiong's strength, it would not be easy for the Wind-Thunder Demon Emperor to do anything to him. Yet reality differed from what he had imagined.
He had found faint traces and vaguely confirmed Xuan Qiong's whereabouts. At the time, he had been overjoyed. As long as he helped Xuan Qiong escape, the situation within Azure Firmament Mountain could surely be reshaped. But when he arrived, he discovered that Xuan Qiong had already been severely wounded.
The people fighting him included not only the Wind-Thunder Demon Emperor, but also Canghai True Lord. Faced with two powerful foes wielding supreme-grade Dao artifacts, Xuan Qiong was clearly outmatched.
Before he could decide what to do, the Wind-Thunder Demon Emperor discovered him. Relying on the Ancient Thunder Seal, the Wind-Thunder Demon Emperor directly injured him. Had he not fled decisively, and had the other side not still needed to deal with Xuan Qiong, he might truly have fallen into grave danger by now.
"Wuding's whereabouts remain unknown, and he cannot be contacted at all. Xuan Qiong has suffered heavy injuries as well. The only True Lords left in the Impermanence Sect are Xuanji and me. Even counting Gu Lingxiao, that unconventional True Lord, there are merely three True Lords. We are far too thinly spread; turning the tide is simply impossible."
