"Senior, what exactly is going on?" Xing Jue's face was filled with doubt.
"Xing Jue, did Dugu Haoyu try to rope you in when we were in Xuan City?" Aber was not in a hurry to answer Xing Jue's question, instead, he asked Xing Jue a question.
"No," Xing Jue replied decisively.
"Oh?"
"Xing Jue, Dugu Haoyu is a very cunning and sinister person. Don't be fooled by his righteous appearance, as if he cares about the people of the mainland. He is actually a despicable person, so you must not be fooled by his appearance," Aber suddenly said with a solemn expression.
"Yes," Xing Jue nodded his head in agreement.
"Logically speaking, he should be trying his best to rope you in with your current achievements."
"But he did not do so, and this is not a good thing for you."
"Perhaps he felt that there was no need to rope you in, so he did not do so. The reason why I said this is that Dugu Haoyu might want to get rid of you."
Aber looked at Xing Jue with a sharp gaze, but Xing Jue did not show any surprise and continued to listen to Aber. He knew better than Aber how much Dugu Haoyu wanted to get rid of him, if he guessed Xing Jue's identity!
"Xing Jue, do you want to know why I pretended to be dead ten years ago, changed my name, changed my face, and hid in the Demon Refinement Tribe?"
"Actually, it's all because of Dugu Haoyu, it's all his fault."
"Ten years ago, Dugu Haoyu and I opened up a cave that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years. In that cave, we found an extremely precious item, which was left behind from the first catastrophe, the Saint Stone."
"There was only one Saint Stone, and it was extremely useful to Dugu Haoyu and I, who were both mid-level Combat Emperors. At that time, both of us wanted to obtain that Saint Stone."
"Thus, the two of us began to fight. Originally, Dugu Haoyu and I were equally matched, but at the most crucial moment, a mysterious person suddenly appeared. That person was wielding an extremely powerful Spirit Artefact, a mid-grade Spirit Artefact."
"I was no match for the two of them. At the critical moment, I could only self-destruct my Spirit Weapon. Although I managed to escape, I was heavily injured. If not for Tian Yu and his brothers arriving in time, I might not have been able to escape at all."
"But the most important thing is that mysterious person. That person's aura is very strange. I'm sure that I've never seen him before and I've never seen the Spiritual Weapon that he uses. But most importantly, even Dugu Haoyu is respectful towards him and listens to his orders. It's obvious that this person is the true leader of the Mystical Palace."
"So, at that time, I found out that there's actually a powerful existence behind the Mystical Palace. If that's the case, the Mystical Palace is definitely the most powerful force in the continent. So, in order to prevent the Mystical Palace from harming the Demon Refinement Race in order to hide and attack me to obtain the Saint Stone, I staged this fake death."
Aber slowly told Xing Jue about what happened that year. Xing Jue finally knew the truth, but at this moment, he was guessing the identity of that mysterious person.
Possessing a mid-grade Spirit Artefact. Even the Demon Refinement Race, which was known to possess the most Spirit Artefact, did not possess such a Spirit Artefact. Yet, that mysterious person had one, which was enough to show that he was not simple. But the most important thing was that even Dugu Haoyu was respectful towards him. Who could have such an identity?
At this moment, the only person that Xing Jue could think of was the mysterious person that had annihilated the Spirit Eater Race. However, that person was simply too powerful. Even the patriarch of the Spirit Eater Race, who was a high-rank Combat Emperor, and the elders were not a match for him. From this, it could be seen how powerful he was.
Clearly, the mysterious person that Aber had seen was not that powerful. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape with a mid-grade Treasure Artefact and Dugu Haoyu.
"Could it be that the mysterious person from back then was heavily injured? His strength has greatly decreased? "
Suddenly, Xing Jue seemed to have thought of something. He suspected that the mysterious person that Aber had seen was the same person that had annihilated the Spirit Eater Race.
However, if he wanted to explain why his strength had decreased, there was only one possibility, and that was that he had been injured when he killed his father back then.
After all, Xing Jue's father had already reached the level of a high-rank Combat Emperor. He had explored countless ancient ruins and caves. Not only had he mastered an extremely mysterious barrier technique, but he also possessed powerful martial skills. He was the publicly acknowledged strongest expert in the Sky Martial Continent at that time.
Furthermore, Xing Jue felt that his father's strength should have been above the patriarch of the Spirit Eater Race. Furthermore, his father was extremely intelligent. Therefore, it was not impossible for him to severely injure that mysterious person before his death.
However, if that was the case, it would be a great thing for Xing Jue. Now that Xing Jue had stepped into the Combat Emperor realm, the Asura Palace's strength was comparable to the other four major powers. Furthermore, the Sacred Dan Clan and the Demon Refinement Clan were obviously on his side.
Therefore, even if the Mystical Palace's strength was not to be underestimated, it was still not enough to fight against the three major powers alone. In this way, the day of Xing Jue's revenge was just around the corner.
"Xing Jue, the reason why I'm telling you all this is because I want you to know about Dugu Haoyu's character and the inside story of the Mystical Palace."
"Although we have to join forces to resist this calamity, after the calamity is over, it will be the fight for the Saint Stone. At that time, a huge battle will inevitably break out."
"Since you have formed a grudge with the Beast City, it is inevitable that the Beast City will join forces with the Mystical Palace. Therefore, in this situation, we must join forces." Just as Xing Jue was guessing the identity of the mysterious person, Aber suddenly said solemnly.
"En, if that's the case, I need to make a trip to the Sacred Dan Clan to discuss the matter of the alliance." Xing Jue replied with a smile.
"What? You're saying that you want to form an alliance with the Sacred Dan Clan? "Hearing Xing Jue's words, Aber was a little surprised.
"Haha, the current successor of the Sacred Dan Clan is a good friend of mine."
"The current Patriarch of the Sacred Dan Clan is also very fond of me. Previously, he invited me to the Sacred Dan Clan as a guest in the Xuan City and even gave me the Sacred Pill Token of the Sacred Dan Clan. I believe that he also wants to form an alliance with my Asura Palace." Seeing Aber's expression, Xing Jue flipped his wrist and took out the Sacred Pill Token.
"It really is the Sacred Pill Token."
"But it's no wonder. With your current achievements, it's normal for Lady Dan to want to rope you in."
"But this is also good. My Demon Refinement Clan has long wanted to form an alliance with the Sacred Dan Clan, but the grudges between the two clans have been too deep for thousands of years.
"Today, with little friend Xing Jue here, he can help our two clans reconcile. This way, even the heavens are helping me!" At this moment, Aber's face was filled with surprise.
"Senior, please rest assured. Leave the alliance with the Sacred Dan Clan to me." Xing Jue agreed with a smile.
"Alright. Since that's the case, the two of us will take our leave first. Now that the calamity is approaching, there are many things that need to be properly arranged." Aber smiled and left with Yao Yutian.
After Aber and Yao Yutian left, Xing Jue headed straight for the Asura Palace. After returning to the Asura Palace, Xing Jue informed the higher ups of the calamity and began to prepare for it. After he finished giving instructions, Xing Jue and Xiao Long brought the Ice and Fire Generals and headed straight for the Azure Dragon Plains.
The Azure Dragon Plains, which used to be bustling, was already destroyed by the flames of war. It was a desolate scene. At this moment, Xing Jue and Xiao Long stood in the sky with the Ice and Fire Generals in the spherical barrier behind them.
Swoosh, swoosh.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky. At the same time, a majestic aura swept over along with dark red clouds. It was the Beast City Lord, the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix. He came alone.
"Jiejie, I didn't expect the prisoner to reach the level of a mid-level Combat Emperor. However, it's all thanks to my Sacred Beast Pearl, right? Speaking of which, you should still thank me! "The Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix looked at Xiao Long, who was standing beside Xing Jue, and said in a strange tone.
"Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix, cut the crap. Where's Senior Yan Huang?" Xing Jue suddenly shouted.
There were no outsiders present, and Xiao Long's strength was not any weaker than the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix. Therefore, there was no need for Xing Jue to give the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix any face.
"Hey, kid, why are you so anxious? He's just a useless old man. Tell me, what's the use of him?"
"However, since you want this burden, I'll fulfill your wish. Catch."
The Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix waved his sleeves, and a figure burst out from his storage bracelet. Then, it shot towards the distant horizon. Although the figure was extremely fast, Xing Jue could still recognize that it was the Yan Huang Devil Turtle.
Swoosh, swoosh.
When they saw the Yan Huang Devil Tortoise, Xing Jue and Xiaolong leaped towards the Yan Huang Devil Tortoise at the same time. Xiaolong even blocked the Yan Huang Devil Tortoise before Xing Jue could.
"Senior Yan Huang."
At this moment, Xing Jue also rushed over. When he saw the Yan Huang Devil Turtle, his face was filled with excitement. Then, he quickly helped the Yan Huang Devil Turtle remove the ropes on its body.
At this moment, the Yan Huang Devil Turtle slowly raised his head and said to Xing Jue with a smile, "Xing Jue, you are really disobedient."
"Senior Yan Huang, you …"
However, when Xing Jue and Xiaolong saw the current state of the Yan Huang Demonic Tortoise, their expressions changed drastically. Not only was the Yan Huang Demonic Tortoise's face covered with countless scars, even its right eye was gone. Furthermore, its strength had been greatly reduced. It was no longer a Battle Emperor, but an ordinary person. Clearly, the Yan Huang Demonic Tortoise had been inhumanely abused by the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix.
"Kekekeke. Palace Master Xing Jue, we will meet again!"
Just as Xing Qing and Xiaolong were feeling shocked and furious at the current state of the Flame Yellow Demonic Tortoise, the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix's strange laughter suddenly rang out. When they turned around, they were shocked to discover that the Ice and Fire Generals had already been rescued by the Profound Insight Ghost Phoenix. At this moment, they were rushing towards the direction of the beast city.
"Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix, I will definitely make you die a horrible death." Looking at the departing figure of the Profound Connection Ghost Phoenix, Xing Jue fiercely swore.
