Chapter 588: The Ten Suns in the Sky

Chapter 588: Chapter 588: The Ten Suns in the Sky

A large group of people surrounded Nie Fancheng in the center, and the old eunuch was nowhere to be seen. No, the eunuch hadn't disappeared; he had suddenly appeared in the western part of Blue Flame City, now surrounded by the Ten Golden Crows.

The Ten Golden Crows radiated golden light like ten suns standing in the sky. The intense heat immediately burned down countless buildings in the west of the city. Countless citizens fled in panic, but there was no escape. Terrifying flames and true solar fire engulfed everything, burning the world to ashes.

The old eunuch was trapped in the center of the Ten Golden Crows.

Zhong Shan saw that below the Ten Golden Crows were ten figures in golden robes. Among them were Zhong Shan's old acquaintances, Prince Lietian and Prince Chongtian. Were these the ten princes of the Taishou Heavenly Court?

The ten princes each occupied a different position, forming strange hand seals.

The Ten Golden Crows soared into the sky, flying in a bizarre pattern that left the onlookers in awe.

It seemed to offer a way for the eunuch to escape, but at the same time, it was a trap with no way out, surrounded by boundless solar fire.

"Ten Suns Sky Formation!"

The ten princes shouted in unison.

The Ten Suns Sky Formation? The powerful formation capable of trapping a Heavenly Realm expert?

Suddenly, the entire west turned into a blinding light. Endless flames descended from the sky. The Ten Golden Crows, like ten suns, spun rapidly, burning everything around them. There was no time to escape.

For a moment, screams and cries echoed from the west. The endless cries of the citizens were drowned in the sea of fire in an instant.

The area was completely engulfed in flames, reaching the heavens and burning everything. Anything nearby was reduced to ashes. Even though Zhong Shan and the others were far away, they could still feel the scorching heat.

The sky over Blue Flame City turned red with the endless flames.

With the Ten Suns Sky Formation activated, nothing could be seen within the fire. The Ten Golden Crows were hidden within the flames, their forms invisible.

The ten suns vanished into the flames.

From within the fire zone, fireballs continuously erupted, flying in all directions. Though the fire was confined to the west of Blue Flame City, numerous powerful fireballs shot toward the east, south, north, and even beyond the city.

The entire Blue Flame City echoed with endless cries, engulfed in towering flames. Fireballs covered the entire city.

The Ten Suns Sky Formation shouldn't have this effect of scattering fireballs. This could only mean that the old eunuch inside was using his formidable power to break the formation.

Formidable and invincible, the old eunuch was trapped within the monstrous Ten Suns Sky Formation.

The Ten Suns Sky Formation was incredibly powerful.

In the distance, the Ten Golden Crows and the ten princes simultaneously set up the Ten Suns Sky Formation, trapping a powerful Heavenly Realm expert inside!

Meanwhile, in the sky above the palace, Nie Fancheng was also surrounded by another group of people.

Above, the four Heavenly Realm experts faced off. Even the Holy Emperor of Taishou didn't interrupt Monk Sekong's words.

This time, the Taishou Heavenly Court had deployed a significant force, including the emperor, the supreme leader, the Ten Golden Crow Princes, and many other top experts, determined to capture everyone.

Monk Sekong spoke without restraint, his many powerful allies watching over the entire conference. They couldn't let anyone escape. With such backing, Monk Sekong became even more audacious.

Below, no one spoke. Even the Blue Flame Emperor looked pale, his hands trembling slightly, feeling fear.

"Enough! This is the Blue Flame Empire, not your Taishou Heavenly Court! Show some respect!" Alchemy Sage Lan Longhu coldly rebuked.

Though knowing he couldn't match them, Lan Longhu, as a member of the Blue Flame Empire, couldn't stand by while these intruders ran rampant. The Blue Flame Emperor might not dare, but Lan Longhu would!

"Oh?" Monk Sekong immediately turned his head.

He saw the Blue Flame Emperor standing next to Alchemy Sage Lan Longhu. Though the Blue Flame Emperor was angry, he didn't dare to speak out. Monk Sekong displayed a peculiar smile as he looked at Lan Longhu, whose eyebrows were raised in fury.

Monk Sekong, displaying remarkable self-control, didn't get angry. Instead, he smirked. He knew it was impossible to subdue these people immediately, but...

Just as Monk Sekong was smirking, his expression suddenly froze. The smile on his face twisted into an awkward grimace.

He had spotted that person—the one who haunted his thoughts, the one he feared most: Zhong Shan!

Zhong Shan was staring directly at him, eyes blazing. Monk Sekong shuddered.

If there was anyone Monk Sekong feared most, it wasn't Prince Lietian or the other Heavenly Realm experts; it was Zhong Shan. Despite only having clashed with Zhong Shan once, Monk Sekong had stayed out of subsequent events. Yet, he remained deeply afraid of Zhong Shan, this enigmatic and fearsome figure.

An overwhelming fear and sense of doom gripped him instinctively. Though his cultivation was low, Monk Sekong was highly valued by Prince Lietian and held some sway within the Taishou Heavenly Court. Otherwise, he wouldn't be handling this situation. His acute sensitivity, not of the five senses but of a more ethereal, spiritual nature, set him apart.

Zhong Shan was utterly terrifying! He had to stay far away from him!

Seeing Zhong Shan again, Monk Sekong shivered and wanted to flee.

His first thought was to get away immediately. But could he leave now?

Monk Sekong glanced around. The emperor, the supreme leader, the Daoist Lord, the Ten Golden Crow Princes, and other powerful Taishou Heavenly Court allies were all present. Why should he be afraid of Zhong Shan now?

Gaining some courage from the surrounding powerhouses, Monk Sekong looked at Zhong Shan again. He shivered once more. No, regardless of the circumstances, his life was paramount. He couldn't risk it, no matter what.

Resolving this, Monk Sekong's face twisted several times before he turned to a person beside him.

"Grandmaster, I suddenly have a stomachache. I need to leave. I'm sorry, but you'll have to handle this. My apologies!" Monk Sekong said quickly and then turned to run.

In an instant, he was gone. Was it really a stomachache?

A stomachache? The group that had come with Monk Sekong all had black lines of frustration on their foreheads.

Below, the alchemists were also exasperated, each one with a deep scowl on their face.
