Chapter 666: Don't Fear the Storm!
There were originally 10,000 Rank 6 or above Heavenly Officers appointed to the Thunder Department.
In the Celestial Court, the Arbiters were in charge of internal security. Meanwhile the Great Dao Celestial Army handled external threats, making them the true celestial soldiers and generals of the path to immortality!
So, positions within the Great Dao Celestial Army were naturally more numerous.
Even so, as two unrelated departments, it was illegal for the Great Dao Celestial Army to station over a thousand Rank 6 or above Heavenly Officers in the Thunder Department without a decree from the Celestial Court!
Yet, in these turbulent times, legality had become a moot point.
Yun Xiao, along with Yun Yin and Gu Suwan, hadn't even approached the Myriad Divine Thunder Bureau when they heard the clamor coming from beneath the pagoda, the very ground of the Thunder Department shaking continuously.
Far off into the distance, beyond the palace walls, one could see many figures clad in scales, with sharp horns atop their heads—the Great Horned Immortals. They were colliding and shouting beneath the pagoda of the Myriad Divine Thunder Bureau, their voices rough, unconcerned with their surroundings.
The Great Horned Immortals, a hybrid of human and devil, bore the bloodline of devils, their ancestors hailing from Naraka. Due to their tough skin, clever minds, and reverence for strength, they managed quite well in the Celestial Court.
Particularly in the Great Dao Celestial Army, there were many regiments of Great Horned Immortals, known for their fierce and fearless nature, often used as the vanguard, striking wherever pointed.
