Chapter 447: Chaos in All Directions Over the Elixir of Immortality, Zhong Shan's Cunning Scheme

His strength was undeniable, his presence overwhelming. His purpose was to guard the Mingyuan Pill, not just from spectators but also from its original owner. In his mind, the pill already belonged to the Great Li Dynasty, and he only needed to guard it for a while.

Yet, in just a moment of distraction, it was gone! This was an unbearable disgrace for the hidden expert. In this world, apart from a Heavenly Realm expert, no one could take something under his watch. And Mr. Corpse, merely at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, had taken it?

His roar of fury carried immense power. The first wave of a million attackers felt a shockwave through their souls, almost losing their senses.

The roar was too powerful, immediately waking most of the attackers. Many were terrified and turned to flee, while those behind continued to push forward, creating chaos.

The hidden expert's expression tightened as he fully expanded his divine sense, knowing the Mingyuan Pill couldn't be stored in a spatial ring unless it was consumed. As long as his divine sense found it, he could retrieve it.

However, he noticed that the metal dome which had previously covered the Mingyuan Pill was emitting faint ripples, blocking his divine sense from penetrating underground.

With a wave of his right hand:

"Boom!"

The Treasure Viewing Pavilion was instantly dismantled, its components scattering in all directions, revealing the central metal dome.

The chaotic crowd outside fell silent, staring at the exposed center.

Where was the Elixir of Immortality? Was it stolen?

"Boom!"

Nie Fancheng's wrath manifested as a celestial phenomenon, with countless thunderclouds rolling over the Southern Ming Tribute Hall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Endless bolts of lightning descended, transforming the sky above the Southern Ming Tribute Hall into a hellish storm of thunder.

The terrifying heavenly power, the terrifying wrath of Nie Fancheng, forced everyone to quickly raise their defenses.

Thunder roared and crackled continuously, a torrent of lightning pouring down like a breached dam, cascading from the heavens.

"Boom!"

"Ahhhhhhh!"

"Help!"

"Oh my god!"

"Mommy!"

The sky was filled with screams as the relentless lightning struck down upon the attackers. The overwhelming force of Nie Fancheng's fury and the heavenly might was too much for many to withstand.

In the midst of the chaos, Zhong Shan's cunning scheme began to unfold. As the chaos outside continued to grow, Zhong Shan and his group took advantage of the situation, planning their next moves strategically.

At the same time, within the Lihuo Sacred Hall, the court officials were in a state of panic. The magnitude of the disturbances outside made it clear that something dire was occurring.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" an official asked, his voice trembling.

Nie Fancheng's eyes glowed with a cold fury. "Find the Mingyuan Pill! Capture anyone involved in this treachery! Show no mercy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the officials responded, quickly dispersing to execute his orders.

The storm of chaos was only beginning, and Zhong Shan's deep plot to manipulate the heroes of the world was just starting to take effect.

Nie Fancheng's rage was terrifying. Above the Southern Ming Tribute Hall, endless screams and cries echoed. Torrents of heavenly lightning rained down like waterfalls, instantly killing countless lower-level cultivators.

Those with slightly higher cultivation struggled desperately to escape, while only the most formidable warriors continued to push towards the center.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Eight thunderous explosions erupted within the lightning storm, creating violent collisions that generated massive shockwaves. The surrounding mountains crumbled, buildings shattered, and the sheer force of the impact caused even the most determined attackers to cough up blood as their internal organs shifted.

The immense power of these eight strikes shattered the confidence of almost everyone trying to advance. The lightning waterfalls were blown apart, and the surrounding space seemed to shake violently.

Now, there was only one thought in everyone's mind: flee, flee quickly. The danger was too immense. The Elixir of Immortality was valuable, but it was worthless if they lost their lives. How could one achieve immortality if they were dead?

They fled far away before daring to look back, and the sight filled them with dread.

The eight thunderous explosions had clearly been caused by eight peerless experts. Hovering in the sky, these eight figures stared at each other with intense focus and shock.

These eight were all Empyrean Realm powerhouses, legendary figures who had come to seize the Elixir of Immortality. Despite their vast lifespans, even Empyrean Realm experts sought an additional thousand years of life.

"Perfumed Buddha?" someone suddenly pointed out.

Among the eight was indeed the Perfumed Buddha. Shui Wuhen had followed Zhong Shan's instructions to place the blame on her, and she had truly shown up. What a twist of fate!

"Damn Perfumed Buddha, if it weren't for you, I'd already have seen the Elixir of Immortality!"

"It's really her, the old pervert!"

"Perfumed old dog!"

"Perfumed old hag!"

The eight peerless experts had each struck a blow, and now they watched their opponent warily.

In a purple eunuch robe, holding a horsetail whisk, the elderly eunuch coldly eyed the eight. He alone had withstood the combined attacks of these eight experts, matching them blow for blow. This eunuch was the same one who had summoned Zhong Shan earlier, a trusted confidant of Nie Fancheng, and the chief eunuch, immensely powerful.

The eight Empyrean Realm experts were filled with uncertainty, while the eunuch stared coldly at them. Below, a black-robed expert who had been lurking there glared up at them.

"Boom!"

The hidden expert struck the metal dome with a powerful palm, aiming to destroy it and use his divine sense to locate Mr. Corpse. The impact caused a thunderous rumble that echoed across half of the capital of Lihuo.

"Buzz!"

The metal dome suddenly emitted an endless blue light, a vast and boundless radiance that instantly repelled the hidden expert's palm strike.

The immense blue light formed a protective barrier, and the hidden expert's attack was deflected, leaving him seething with rage. The complex situation was now a mix of powerful figures and intricate plots, with everyone striving to secure the Elixir of Immortality. Meanwhile, Zhong Shan's cunning plan continued to unfold, manipulating the chaos to his advantage.

The metal dome was destroyed.

But in its place, a blue rune suddenly appeared, trembling slightly as if it had sealed the earth itself, blocking all divine senses from penetrating further. It wasn't the metal dome that had blocked the hidden expert, but this immense blue rune.

A rune of immense power, vast and overwhelming.

The crowd stared at the rune, feeling an unrelenting sense of dread emanating from it. The fear was pervasive, enveloping everyone present. It seemed the rune was slowly fading.

In the sky, the eight peerless experts gazed at the rune in shock. What kind of rune was this? Such formidable power!

Before they realized it, a figure wearing an imperial crown appeared before the rune.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" both the hidden expert and the elderly eunuch bowed respectfully.

A large number of guards arrived, quickly driving away the people outside the Southern Ming Tribute Hall. The Great Li Dynasty's army intervened, swiftly expelling the terrified crowd, ensuring no one could approach the center of the Southern Ming Tribute Hall.

Nie Fancheng himself had arrived!

The moment the eight peerless experts in the sky saw Nie Fancheng, they knew their efforts were in vain. Bowing respectfully to him, they turned and shot away like shooting stars.

No one dared to anger the Great Li Emperor, for this entire realm was under Nie Fancheng's dominion.

Ignoring everyone else, Nie Fancheng stared coldly at the blue rune, which continued to pulse and shift. His eyes were filled with intense gravity, an immense seriousness.

It took half an hour for the blue rune to gradually dissipate, allowing divine senses to penetrate the earth once more.

But Nie Fancheng had vanished. The elderly eunuch and the hidden expert were also gone.

Countless guards surrounded the Southern Ming Tribute Hall, preventing anyone from entering. The once grand hall was now a heap of ruins; the internal valley, buildings, and everything else had been reduced to dust by the powerful experts. A gust of wind blew, stirring up a cloud of dust.

In the Lihuo Sacred Hall, Nie Fancheng stood before the elderly eunuch and the hidden expert.

"Your Majesty, this was all part of Zhong Shan's scheme. He planned for Mr. Corpse to escape with the Mingyuan Pill from the very beginning," the hidden expert quickly reported.

"Indeed, Your Majesty. At the moment of the incident, everyone inside the Southern Ming Tribute Hall had already left. It was all a play orchestrated by Zhong Shan," the elderly eunuch added.

"Your Majesty, Zhong Shan is incredibly dangerous. From the moment he entered the capital of Lihuo, he began plotting. Everything from the paid exhibition to this recent chaos was his doing. He used us to distract the millions of people, allowing Mr. Corpse to escape with the Mingyuan Pill. In the eyes of everyone, the pill was stolen, while Zhong Shan remains seemingly uninvolved," the hidden expert continued, frowning.

"Zhong Shan's schemes are not small," the elderly eunuch agreed, sighing.

"What is Zhong Shan's true objective behind such a massive disturbance?" the hidden expert wondered, furrowing his brow again.
