Chapter 1049: The Death of Thunderstorm!
A yuan ying cultivator's spiritual perception was extremely sharp, allowing them to sense many crises in advance.
Now, several true lords all felt a warning in their spiritual perception, a strange sense of danger rising in their hearts. This was undoubtedly an ominous sign.
It meant that somewhere beyond sight and beyond divine consciousness, a powerful existence was rapidly approaching.
Thinking of the Five Elements Pass falling and the demonic race's army no longer having anything to stop it ahead, the approachers were surely one or more demonic kings!
As the ruler of the Seven Nations Alliance and the only divine transformation sect in this region, there was almost no need to think to know that after the demonic race broke through the Five Elements Pass, Heavenly Thunder Palace would definitely be the next target to be wiped out.
A divine transformation great sect was indeed powerful. A single sect had more than ten true lords, and several great cultivators as well.
But with the strength of one sect alone, how could it contend with the main force of the demonic race?
Retreat, they had to retreat!
The tide had already turned. Even if they had to pay a huge price, they had to move the entire sect to preserve their inheritance. They had already reached the point where they needed to cut off a tail to survive.
Moreover, even Thunderstorm True Lord's sense of danger was growing stronger and stronger. Thinking carefully about it only made things more terrifying.
In other words, among the uncertain number of pursuers, there was definitely a pinnacle demonic king!
"Though the number is still unknown, there must be a pinnacle demonic king."
"If it catches up to the mountain gate, how can the sect retreat?"
"When that time comes, I'm afraid most people will be left behind, and most of the sect's disciples will become food in the bellies of demonic beasts."
As all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, Thunderstorm True Lord instantly thought of the worst outcome and suddenly halted in midair above a cluster of palace buildings.
Seeing him stop, the other several yuan ying cultivators also came to a halt and looked over in confusion.
Coincidentally or not, just as they entered Wei State, the land below happened to be the Seven Nations Alliance Headquarters, a top-grade fourth stage spiritual land.
Because it was the alliance headquarters, all major powers had offices here, so this place was usually quite lively.
But after years of war, along with the transfer of power brought about by the elders' system, it was much more desolate than before.
At this time, although the demonic race had not yet reached here, the news of the Five Elements Pass's fall had already spread throughout Tian Nan by various means.
Thus, with one glance, one could see chaos below. The cultivators from the various powers were in utter disarray, their minds in turmoil, not knowing where the future would lead.
"We can't just go back like this. We'll bring the pursuers to the mountain gate too."
"With so many disciples in the sect, how are we supposed to evacuate then?"
Although he was also somewhat unsettled, facing the questioning gazes of his fellow sect members, Thunderstorm True Lord still answered calmly.
"Yes, that's right."
Hearing this, the several Heavenly Thunder Palace yuan ying cultivators nodded repeatedly.
After experiencing the fall of the Five Elements Pass and such earth-shattering events, and then personally feeling what it was like to be surrounded by demonic kings, even true lords were now panicked and at a loss.
The Five Elements Pass was gone. The foundation passed down by their ancestor could no longer be preserved. Where was Heavenly Thunder Palace supposed to go next?
Should they retreat to the Orthodox and Demonic Territory and from now on keep a low profile?
How were they supposed to resist the demonic race after that?
Thinking of these problems, the few of them felt lost.
"Someone must stay behind to cover the rear and block the demonic race's advance, buying time for the sect to evacuate."
