Chapter 4620: Moving the Stone to Smash One's Own Foot

Jinyang City, a terrestrial city under the jurisdiction of Xingyue City, had most of its city walls collapsed. Large numbers of immortal-armored soldiers and Chaos Beasts were engaged in a fierce battle, with blood flowing like rivers and many soldiers and beasts lying in pools of blood. Lei charged out of the city, with two Grand Unity Golden Immortals impaled by black chains and bound to its body.

After the destruction of the Ogedei Tribe, Lei led several tribesmen who were Grand Unity Golden Immortals to pledge allegiance to the Bablu Tribe. The Bablu Tribe, a powerful subordinate of the Hunxiewang Tribe with multiple Grand Luo Golden Immortals, was responsible for combating Xingyue City. Lei, having evolved three times and mastered Chaos Armor but not Supreme Laws, was an elite among Chaos Beasts. The Bablu Tribe's high-ranking members dispatched Lei to attack Jinyang City as a sign of loyalty.

"Retreat quickly! The main force of the Immortals is about to arrive," Lei commanded. Wielding its black copper hammer, Lei crushed several Golden Immortal-stage armored soldiers into pulp. It then ran into the distance, with other Chaos Beasts quickly following suit, as a large number of Immortals were abducted.

At Qinglian Peak in Qinglian City, Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Qingshan were sitting in a green stone pavilion, engaged in conversation. Wang Qingling had eavesdropped on the discussions of the Ba'erhu Tribe's high-ranking members, learning their next plan. They had heightened their vigilance, ostensibly to guard against the Tianga Tribe, especially since Qinglian City had previously been attacked by them.

"Qingling is still monitoring the Ba'erhu Tribe's situation, and Shu and Xiao have already led their teams to attack Myriad Beast City," Wang Qingshan reported. Qinglian City was under martial law, allowing people to leave but not enter, to prevent anyone from bringing in pseudo-immortals or Chaos Beasts. Some pseudo-immortals used spatial treasures to bring elite Chaos Beasts into terrestrial and profound cities. While the main Chaos Beast forces attacked from outside, the elites caused havoc within, creating a pincer movement. No matter how strong a city's defenses, if there were internal traitors, it would still fall to the Chaos Beasts.

"What about the Tianga Tribe?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"The Tianga Tribe is staying put; they are likely guarding against us and the Nangong Immortal Clan," Wang Qingshan replied. Having lost two Grand Luo Golden Immortals, the Tianga Tribe was significantly weakened. They remained inactive, wary of the Nangong Immortal Clan and the Wang Family, as a large-scale movement would provide an opportunity for the two clans to launch a sneak attack.

Wang Changsheng nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Yixin entered and said, "Ancestor, someone has spread news that you have cultivated a top-tier Immortal Body."

"More false rumors? Is it the Nangong Immortal Clan or the Myriad Beast Palace?" Wang Ruyan inquired.

"Most likely the Myriad Beast Palace. As usual, spread the news that Nangong Dezhi obtained a fourth-grade immortal pill for body tempering in the Myriad Devil Tomb and has cultivated a top-tier Immortal Body," Wang Changsheng instructed. Whenever false information about the Wang Family was spread, Wang Changsheng would involve the Nangong Immortal Clan, both to confuse the public and to draw them into the same camp.

"Also, mention that several Grand Luo Golden Immortals have cultivated top-tier Immortal Bodies, or that they possess complete sets of supreme-grade immortal artifacts infused with Primordial Spirit Treasures," Wang Ruyan advised.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yixin replied, agreeing and departing with the order.

Outside Myriad Beast City, large numbers of immortal-armored soldiers were locked in combat with Chaos Beasts. From high above, phoenix cries and tiger roars could be heard, various immortal lights were visible, and shockwaves surged like tides. A blur shot out from the city – it was Xu Xing. His right leg was gone, bleeding profusely, and his clothes were stained with blood. Xiao flew out from the city, instantly appearing before Xu Xing. A black iron chain shot out, piercing Xu Xing's body and binding him to Xiao.

A deafening roar echoed from the sky as Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch plummeted, crashing heavily onto the ground and forming a large crater. He vomited blood incessantly, his face pale, and his aura weak. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face. Myriad Beast City was deep in the rear, yet the Ba'erhu Tribe had dispatched four Grand Luo Golden Immortals to attack it. What kind of grudge or grievance could this be? Before he could think further, a thick black iron chain burst from the ground, piercing his body. To his horror, he found he could no longer muster even a trace of immortal essence. Shu emerged from underground and bound Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch to its body.

Another deafening roar sounded, and a massive white light shot into the sky, extremely conspicuous. "Retreat quickly! The main forces of Kunlun Immortal Island might be approaching," Shu commanded. They had undertaken a long-distance assault, and if they delayed too long, they could easily be surrounded by heavily armed forces, making escape difficult. Shu, carrying Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch, rapidly retreated along the path they had come from. The main Chaos Beast forces quickly followed, and a large number of Myriad Beast Palace disciples were abducted by the Chaos Beasts. Liu Qian was not among them.

At Longyue Garden on Kunlun Immortal Island, Immortal Longyue and Liu Qian were seated in a green stone pavilion, conversing. "Immortal Lin, indeed a group of Chaos Beasts has appeared within our territory, and they haven't been exterminated yet," Liu Qian said, a troubled expression on her face. Immortal Longyue had invited her to Kunlun Immortal Island to persuade the Myriad Beast Palace to dispatch troops, as Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch was in seclusion cultivating.

"There are no Grand Luo Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts leading them, so what are you afraid of? You can at least send one Grand Luo Golden Immortal to support us, right? The pressure on the other Heavenly Cities is immense; otherwise, I wouldn't have contacted you to send troops," Immortal Longyue stated. Grand Luo Golden Immortals from multiple tribes had led attacks on Heavenly Cities, capturing a large number of Immortals. Myriad Beast City, located in the deep rear, had suffered minimal attacks and losses.

"The Nangong Immortal Clan and the Wang Family Immortal Clan are very strong; they both destroyed the Chahar Tribe. Wouldn't it be better to have them dispatch troops?" Liu Qian suggested. Preferring others to suffer rather than herself, she was unwilling to send troops and instead hoped the Wang Family and Nangong Immortal Clan would act.

"They did destroy the Chahar Tribe, but they also sustained significant losses and still need to guard against the Ba'erhu and Tianga Tribes," Immortal Longyue said with a frown. The Ba'erhu Tribe had captured Myriad Treasure City, which suffered heavy losses.

"Let them deal with the Ba'erhu Tribe. Even if they can't defeat Xiao, they can at least tie it down, right?" Liu Qian said dismissively. Immortal Longyue frowned deeply; she realized that Liu Qian was unwilling to send troops and merely wanted the Wang Family and Nangong Immortal Clan to do so. She took out a red-glowing magical disc, cast a spell into it, and her expression turned strange.

"The Ba'erhu Tribe dispatched four Grand Luo Golden Immortals to attack Myriad Beast City; it has already fallen, and three Grand Luo Golden Immortals have been captured," Immortal Longyue stated with a knowing look. Because the Myriad Beast Palace was unwilling to send troops, four Grand Luo Golden Immortal-level Chaos Beasts had led the assault on Myriad Beast City. Myriad Beast Immortal Monarch, Xu Xing, and Mu Bing were all captured, along with numerous other Immortals.

Liu Qian's face turned very grim. She couldn't understand why the Ba'erhu Tribe would launch a long-distance raid on Myriad Beast City.

"Immortal Lin, you should quickly return to take charge of the situation!" Immortal Longyue said. With this incident, the Myriad Beast Palace was no longer in a position to assist other Heavenly Cities. Liu Qian acknowledged, then left Kunlun Immortal Island with Jiang Bin and returned to Myriad Beast City.
