At this moment, Xing Jue, Xiaolong, the patriarch of the Royal Guardian Clan, Long Yan, and the others were gathered together. As for the ten elders, Xing Jue was very familiar with them. They were the elders of the Royal Guardian Clan. Xing Jue had already met them when he unsealed the Yellow Flame Devil Turtle. However, what surprised Xing Jue was that these elders were no longer High Grade Combat Emperors, but Combat Emperors.
The ten elders had all reached the level of a Combat Emperor. Furthermore, Xing Jue could sense that among the hundreds of thousands of clansmen of the Guardian Dragon Clan, their strength had also increased by a lot. Furthermore, this increase was a leap across realms.
"After Lord Divine Dragon successfully refined the Dragon Ball, the mission of our Royal Guardian Clan has been accomplished. Our bloodline has been activated, and the strength of all our clansmen has been greatly improved."
"Even I seem to have touched the boundary of the Mid Grade Combat Emperor realm, and breaking through is just around the corner. As for the elders who have been stuck at the High Grade Combat Emperor realm for dozens of years, they have all broken through to the Combat Emperor realm."
"This time, apart from some women and children, the entire Royal Guardian Clan has come out. We have eleven Combat Emperors, nearly a thousand High Grade Combat Emperors, ten thousand Mid Grade Combat Emperors, nearly a hundred thousand Low Grade Combat Emperors, and hundreds of thousands of Combat Kings."
"In order to repay the kindness that you and your father have shown to our Royal Guardian Clan, we have decided to join the Asura Palace and listen to your commands. We won't hesitate to go through water and tread on fire for you."
Just when Xing Jue was shocked by the sudden increase in strength of the ten elders and the clansmen of the Royal Guardian Clan, the patriarch of the Royal Guardian Clan, Long Yan, smiled and said to Xing Jue.
"Thank you for your help, Senior Long Yan. With your help, I, Xing Jue, will be able to take my revenge."
Xing Jue had already guessed that the Royal Guardian Clan would submit to the Asura Palace. Even if they didn't do it to repay the kindness, Xiaolong alone was enough to make them submit to him. Xiaolong was the Divine Dragon that was protected by the Royal Guardian Clan. Their increase in strength was all thanks to Xiaolong, and Xiaolong had absolute control over them in terms of bloodline.
Even so, Xing Jue still expressed his gratitude to Long Yan and the others. He knew that even without Xiaolong's restriction, they would still help him unconditionally because Xing Jue could feel their sincerity.
At this moment, there were only the patriarch of the Royal Guardian Clan, the Royal Guardian Clan, and the others in the hall. Due to the special bloodline, Jue, and the Royal Guardian Clan, Elders, and Jue, Xing Jue, and Xiao Long.
That was because after Xiaolong had completely refined the Dragon Pearl, his bloodline could already pose a fatal pressure to them. There was an unerasable fear for Xiaolong in the depths of their hearts. Thus, they all cast their gazes towards Xing Jue, while Xiaolong sat by the side and listened to their conversation with a faint smile on his face.
"Now that Xiaolong has refined the Sacred Beast Pearl, I believe the Profound Enlightenment Ghost Phoenix will be able to sense it. Furthermore, the Asura Palace has imprisoned the Ice and Fire Generals of the Beast City. It can be said that the Beast City has become our enemy."
"Based on the Profound Enlightenment Ghost Phoenix's way of doing things, he will definitely not reconcile with the Asura Palace. Therefore, this war is unavoidable. Considering that Senior Yan Huang is still in the Beast City, his life could be threatened at any time. Therefore, it's better for the Asura Palace to start this war. "
"With the help of the Royal Guardian Clan, the strength of the Asura Palace is not any weaker than the Beast City. Furthermore, with the arrival of the Royal Guardian Clan's reinforcements, I believe the news will soon reach the ears of the Beast City."
"Also, the ten Elders have purposely concealed the strength of a Combat Emperor. This will cause the Beast City to underestimate the strength of the Asura Palace. When that happens, they will inevitably be careless. Therefore, starting the war now is extremely advantageous for the Asura Palace." Xing Jue explained the current situation and his plan to the others.
"En, that's exactly what we're thinking." Long Yan and the other Elders nodded their heads in agreement. They had already considered this. Otherwise, they wouldn't have purposely concealed their true strength.
After that, Xing Jue gathered all the higher-ups of the Asura Palace and made a strict plan for the war. With the participation of the Royal Guardian Clan, those who opposed the war with the Beast City shut their mouths. In fact, even if they opposed the war, it would be useless.
After a month of meticulous planning, the war that shook the entire Towering Sky Region was finally ignited by the Asura Palace. When the war began, it was exactly as Xing Jue and the others had expected. The Beast City had underestimated the true strength of the Asura Palace. Therefore, the Asura Palace's army was like a hot knife cutting through butter. The Beast City's defensive line was constantly broken, and their territory was shrinking.
However, the Beast City was, after all, a power that had existed for thousands of years. They were one of the four overlords of the Towering Sky Region. After suffering a setback, they quickly adjusted their formation and launched a counterattack. Even so, it was still difficult for them to defeat the Asura Palace. For a moment, the Asura Palace and the Beast City had fallen into a stalemate.
"Roar roar roar!"
"Kill me! Just kill me! I beg of you!"
In the depths of the Beast City, there was an extremely large palace. This palace was filled with a gloomy aura, and from time to time, one could hear the chilling screams and groans. This was the place where the Beast City used to imprison the most important criminals.
This enormous prison was divided into many levels. The lower the level, the stronger the prisoners were. At this moment, in the deepest part of the prison, there was a room where one couldn't even see their own fingers. One could only hear the sounds of metal chains.
In the middle of the room was an old man. The old man was as skinny as a match, and his body was covered with bloody scars. Despite his skinny body, it was filled with countless thick and strong chains. The old man's head was lowered, and his pale white hair hung loosely down, covering his face.
"Buzz ~"
Suddenly, the barrier above the prison shook. After that, an enchanting figure slowly descended from the sky. It was none other than the City Lord of the Beast City, Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix.
"Master, you and I have been together for hundreds of years, and I am your beloved disciple. Not only did you not help me, you even helped an outsider. Tell me, have you gone senile?"
"Sigh, to an old fool like you, I really should cut you into a thousand pieces and then kill you with a single palm strike."
"But who asked me to be so kind? I can't bear to kill you." The Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix suddenly spoke, and its neutral voice echoed in the dark prison.
Even though the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix's mocking words were repeated over and over again, the old man didn't move at all.
"Senile old fool, are you pretending to be mute?"
"Fine, I'll let you pretend, I'll let you pretend."
Seeing that the old man wasn't replying, the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix's face suddenly changed. It was filled with a terrifying malevolence. Then, it clenched its fist, and a whip shining with a purple light appeared in its hand.
"Pa pa pa pa pa"
Then, the whip began to dance, and the sound of the wind could be heard. The whip began to whip the old man's skinny body. Purple light flashed, and blood splattered. However, the old man didn't cry out in pain. He didn't even sigh. The only sound was the grinding of teeth.
"Hmph, you old thing. Don't worry, I won't let you die so easily."
"I'll let you live, and then torture you with all kinds of methods. I'll let you know the consequences of betraying me, the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix."
After whipping the old man for an hour, the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix finally put away the whip and said viciously. Then, it turned around and was about to leave. But just as it reached the entrance of the barrier, it suddenly stopped.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you."
"So, that so-called disciple of yours, Mao Hou, is the Palace Master of the Asura Palace, Xing Jue. Xue Jiang has fought with him before, so he can recognize his aura."
"This kid knows that you're still alive, so he's leading the Asura Palace's mixed army to attack my Beast City with the Heaven Refining Devil Dragon."
"But, you should know the strength of the Beast City better than anyone else. In a few days, they will be defeated. When that time comes, I'll capture them all to accompany you, so that you won't feel lonely here alone. That way, I, as your disciple, will feel sorry for you. Ji ji ji ji …" The Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix's eyes were filled with malice, and a creepy smile appeared on its face. Then, it disappeared from the prison with its weird laughter.
"Hualalala"
After the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix left, the chains that bound the old man began to sway. The reason for the sway was because the old man's body was violently trembling.
"Xing Jue, you silly kid. You finally escaped, why did you come back?"
Soon after, the old man slowly raised his head. Although his face was covered with scars that had yet to heal, one could still tell that he was the leader of the four great Divine Beasts, the Yan Huang Demonic Tortoise. However, the Yan Huang Demonic Tortoise's right eye had already disappeared.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble …"
The Cang Dragon Plains was once the territory of the Beast City. But now, a fierce war was taking place. The flames of war soared to the sky, and earth-shaking roars reverberated in the sky. The Asura Palace's army was destroying the Beast City's defensive line step by step.
"Palace Master, thank you for coming in time. If not, the Asura Palace would have suffered a great loss this time."
"Damn it, the Avici Valley actually helped the Beast City to launch a sneak attack on the Asura Palace's army. I really don't know what benefits they received from the Beast City."
At this moment, there was a small palace on top of a gigantic demonic beast. Two men were standing in the attic of the palace. One of them was a muscular man wearing a silver tiger armor, and he was angrily explaining the situation. Next to him was a young man wearing a purple-gold armor. He was none other than Xing Jue.
"This isn't the first time the Avici Valley has tried to sabotage the Asura Palace. Furthermore, the Cang Dragon Plains is so close to their headquarters. I'm sure they won't stay here obediently."
"I guessed that they would attack you, that's why I came here. Just as I expected, the Avici Valley really attacked you, and they even sent their elite troops."
"However, it's about time for us to settle the debt between the Asura Palace and the Avici Valley." The corners of Xing Jue's mouth curled upwards. His sharp eyes stared at the mountain range in the distance, which was the headquarters of the Avici Valley.
