Chapter 1169 - Interlocking Plans
The disciples of the Azure Thunder Sect scrambled to put out the fire, leaving them with no time to chase after Liu Wuxie. They knew the culprits, but extinguishing the blaze had to come first before seeking revenge.
They dragged two disciples out of the flames. Though the two survived, their bodies bore severe burns.
Earlier in the day, the Immortal Slaughter Palace killed one of the branch's disciples, and the branch had already reported the incident to their sect.
A night raid from the Immortal Slaughter Palace had crossed their bottom line completely, making a full-scale battle inevitable.
Before they could fully subdue the fire, an elder of the Immortal Slaughter Palace descended with dozens of disciples.
"Kill them all!" the elder bellowed, charging straight at the defenders of the Azure Thunder Sect.
The sudden assault caught the Azure Thunder Sect completely off guard. Most of their disciples fought the flames; no one expected the Immortal Slaughter Palace to return so swiftly.
"Immortal Slaughter Palace, you've gone too far!" the branch master roared as he burst through the inferno, striking with his palm.
He struck squarely, instantly killing an Immortal Slaughter Palace disciple. Even the Immortal Slaughter Palace's elder didn't anticipate the branch master's sudden appearance as he slipped through the fire unseen. The clash drenched the night in the stench of blood and burning timber, feeding the frenzy of hatred between the two sides.
The sight of their collapsed buildings sent agony through the hearts of the Azure Thunder Sect's disciples. They had painstakingly built that foundation on Ancient Orchid Star, only for it to be destroyed in just one night.
"Kill them all!" they cried in unison, seizing their weapons. Like demons unleashed from hell, they hurled themselves against the Immortal Slaughter Palace.
The battle exploded instantly, their roars shaking the heavens.
