The experts of the Asura Palace couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air as they stared at the blood-red dust that was scattered on the ground not far away. Dozens of Intermediate Combat Emperors were killed by Xing Jue in an instant. They didn't even have the time to scream, let alone resist. The most terrifying thing was that Xing Jue didn't even have the time to move when facing such a powerful attack.
This kind of attack was too powerful, so powerful that they were trembling in fear. At this moment, all of them felt extremely fortunate. They felt fortunate that they were from the Asura Palace, and not the Avici Valley.
"Brother Liang, what's going on with the Avici Valley? Why did they attack the Asura Palace? What's the Beast City doing now? "
Suddenly, Xing Jue turned his head and asked Gu Liang, because Xing Jue was still confused about the situation in front of him. He couldn't wait to know the details of the incident.
Xing Jue had some knowledge about the Avici Valley. It was a famous power in the Towering Sky Region and had a good relationship with the Mystical Palace. Most importantly, its master was a Combat Emperor. Therefore, it could be said to be one of the strongest powers apart from the four major powers. However, the Asura Palace and the Avici Valley didn't have any contact.
Moreover, if someone were to attack the Asura Palace, it should be the army of the Beast City and not the Avici Valley. That was the reason why Xing Jue was puzzled. He wanted to know the truth of the matter as soon as possible. After all, judging from the way the Avici Valley's members acted, they didn't plan to let any of the Asura Palace live.
"Palace Master, since you issued the emergency order, the Beast City hasn't made any big moves. It seems like something unknown has happened in the Beast City." Gu Liang cupped his hands and said when he heard Xing Jue's question.
"What did you say? Something unknown has happened in the Beast City? "
"What's going on? Tell me quickly! " On the other hand, when Xing Jue heard Gu Liang's words, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, and an indescribable feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart.
"Palace Master, ever since you issued the secret emergency order, the Asura Palace has entered a state of strict defense. However, at the same time, our Asura Palace has been closely observing every single movement in the Beast City."
"Only then did I find out that on the day you issued the secret order, an explosion that shook the entire Towering Heaven Realm occurred in the Beast City. It was said that the explosion was so terrifying that it destroyed one-tenth of the buildings in the Beast City.
"Furthermore, the upper echelons of the Beast City seem to have been involved. After the explosion, even the Beast City has entered into a defensive state. Furthermore, we discovered that the important territories of the Beast City no longer have any powerful experts guarding them."
"Although no one knows who caused the explosion, everyone in the Towering Heaven Realm knows that the explosion has plunged the Beast City into a crisis. This has become one of the hottest topics in the Towering Heaven Realm." Gu Liang respectfully explained everything he knew to Xing Jue.
After hearing Gu Liang's words, Xing Jue couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. Even his expression became extremely solemn, and a hint of sadness could be seen in the space between his brows.
That was because Xing Jue could guess that such a terrifying explosion must have been caused by the Flame Yellow Devil Tortoise's self-destruction. After all, the Beast City was huge, and only the self-destruction of such a powerful expert could cause such an effect.
"What about the Avici Valley?" After a long moment of silence, Xing Jue continued to ask.
"We don't know much about the Avici Valley. Although the Beast City hasn't launched any attacks on the Asura Palace recently, the Avici Valley has been attacking the Asura Palace. Furthermore, every time they break through a stronghold, they will kill every last one of us. As for the reason …"
"As for the reason, they have never mentioned it. They only said that it's because Palace Master, you … have provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked," Gu Liang said hesitantly.
"Hehe, provoked someone I shouldn't have provoked, huh?" At this moment, Xing Jue suddenly laughed. He could already guess the reason why the Avici Valley wanted to attack the Asura Palace.
The Avici Valley and the Beast City had never been in contact before, so it was obvious that the Beast City didn't send them here. However, on the contrary, the Avici Valley had a close relationship with the Mystical Palace, and in the Mystical Palace, Xing Jue had a deep grudge against Dugu Haoyu.
However, Xing Jue knew that it wasn't Dugu Haoyu who caused the Avici Valley to attack the Asura Palace, because up until now, no one knew that he was Dugu Changyi's son.
Therefore, Dugu Haoyu wouldn't take revenge on him. However, other than Dugu Haoyu, Xing Jue did offend another person, and that person was Dugu Haoyu's son, Dugu Feng. Furthermore, Xing Jue had a feeling that Dugu Feng had something to do with the ambush he suffered after leaving the Demon Exorcist Tribe.
"Palace Master, that Avici Valley has taken away a lot of our Asura Palace's territories, and killed several hundred thousand of our brothers."
"Among them, there are several thousand Combat Emperors, and tens of thousands of Combat Kings. Now that Palace Master has come out from his secluded cultivation, we are willing to accompany Palace Master to the Avici Valley to demand an explanation."
Right at this moment, Gu Liang clenched his teeth and asked for Xing Jue's permission. Looking at the faces of Gu Liang and the others, which were filled with hatred, Xing Jue could sense that the Avici Valley had indeed planted a deep hatred in the hearts of the Asura Palace's warriors.
"Brother Liang, the Asura Palace is not afraid of the Avici Valley now, but we have to be on guard against the Beast City. The reason why the Beast City isn't attacking the Asura Palace is because they have suffered a heavy blow."
"But, once they recover their strength, they will definitely attack even more fiercely than the Avici Valley. Therefore, the Asura Palace can't start a war with the Avici Valley for now, we can only endure it." Xing Jue smiled and patted Gu Liang's shoulder.
As a matter of fact, the rage in Xing Jue's heart was more violent than any of them. He couldn't wait to kill his way into the Avici Valley and uproot it.
However, the Avici Valley's strength was not to be underestimated. Even though he had reached the level of a Combat Emperor, the Asura Palace's overall strength was obviously inferior to the Avici Valley.
Furthermore, the Asura Palace's current strength had been greatly reduced. Not to mention the fact that they had lost a lot of their territories and men after the secret order was issued, many people had left the Asura Palace in order to avoid being implicated.
Most importantly, Xing Jue guessed that the reason why the Beast City was unwilling to attack the Asura Palace was similar to what Gu Liang had said. It must be because the higher-ups of the Beast City were restrained.
And this kind of restraint would definitely result in injuries, because Xing Jue knew that the main forces of the Beast City had gathered in the ancient forest that day.
The self-detonation of the Flaming Yellow Devil Tortoise must have implicated all of them. Xing Jue didn't know whether they were still alive or not, but he was certain that they were severely injured.
This was the reason why the Beast City was reluctant to attack the Asura Palace, because they also had enemies in the Towering Heaven Region. At this moment, they couldn't even take care of themselves. However, once the higher-ups of the Beast City recovered their strength, they would attack the Asura Palace without any hesitation. That would be the most critical moment for the Asura Palace.
Therefore, if a war were to break out between the Asura Palace and the Avici Valley at this moment, the Asura Palace would have to face enemies on both sides after the Beast City's matter was settled. Furthermore, with the terrifying strength of the Beast City, the Asura Palace wouldn't even be able to put up a fight.
Although they understood the meaning behind Xing Jue's words, they still felt a little disappointed when they heard it. After all, those who were able to stay in the Asura Palace in such a dire situation had already made up their minds to die. At this moment, they would rather fight for their lives than to be spared.
"Don't worry, everyone. Debts will eventually be repaid."
"It's not my, Xing Jue's, style to not take revenge is not my, Xing Jue's way of doing things. An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, and an even more intense one."
"I assure you, the blood of our fallen brothers will not be shed in vain. Be it the Avici Valley or the Beast City, they will pay a painful price for what they have done." Looking at the crowd, Xing Jue smiled faintly and promised them with a firm expression.
"Palace Master, what should we do now?"
After hearing Xing Jue's words, a strong sense of confidence emerged in the hearts of the crowd, because they trusted Xing Jue's words. After that, a young member nervously asked Xing Jue for instructions. If they were to not fight back, they would have to come up with a countermeasure.
"Act according to the secret order I gave you. All members of the Asura Palace, stop guarding the Asura Palace's territories, and choose a safe place to hide. Wait for my new secret order."
"Remember, we can lose the territories we've conquered, but we must keep our lives. If we lose the territories today, we can take them back tomorrow. But if we lose our lives, we won't even have the chance to collect the debt."
Xing Jue's eyes were like torches as he spoke to the crowd with a loud voice. Upon hearing Xing Jue's words, the crowd enthusiastically nodded their heads in agreement.
In fact, according to the secret order, Xing Jue had ordered the high ranking members to hide in a few well-defended places in Fenghua Mi City. For the safety of the members of the Asura Palace, Xing Jue had told them to give up the areas they were guarding, and to sneak into a safe place while maintaining contact with the higher-ups.
Since they were not the high ranking members of the Asura Palace, as long as they sneaked into the territories of other forces, even the Beast City wouldn't conduct a large-scale search. This way, everyone's safety could be ensured. However, what Xing Jue didn't expect was that many people who were too loyal to the Asura Palace didn't follow his orders. Instead, they chose to protect the Asura Palace with their lives. This was also one of the reasons why the Asura Palace had suffered such a heavy loss.
After that, through the communication tower in Moon Illusion Valley, Xing Jue personally delivered the secret order to the areas that were still guarded by the high ranking members. He also explained to them the reason why they needed to hide. This time, it was very effective. Sure enough, everyone started following his orders.
After everything was done, Xing Jue went straight to Fenghua Mi City. He knew it was only a matter of time before Fenghua Mi City was attacked. Even with the Enchanting Formation's protection, Fenghua Mi City wasn't absolutely safe. Therefore, he had to return immediately to take charge of the situation. Even if his subordinates could escape, as the Palace Master, he couldn't.
