"Disappeared for thousands of years?!" At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
"Senior Sister Tang Lian, what is going on? Tell us in detail." Xing Jue hurriedly asked. He could tell from Tang Lian's expression that the Dusty Royal City was not as simple as it seemed.
At this moment, not only Xing Jue, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Lian. A force that had disappeared for thousands of years had returned to the world. This news was too shocking.
"Actually, I've only heard from a senior once that the East Region, the weakest region in the Soul Source World, was once extremely glorious, all because of a force called the Dusty Royal City."
"The Dusty Royal City used to be the overlord of the East Region. It was so powerful that even Mount Wuzhi didn't dare to make an enemy out of them. If you have to evaluate it, the Dusty Royal City back then was probably even more powerful than the Mountain Gate Valley today."
"However, on a certain day thousands of years ago, the Dusty Royal City suddenly fell silent. No one knew the reason, and the entire world could no longer see the shadow of the Dusty Royal City."
"This superpower that once stood at the top of the world completely disappeared, never to be seen again," Tang Lian said.
"How is that possible? A force that disappeared thousands of years ago has returned to the world? I think it's more likely that someone wants to use the name of the Dusty Royal City to dominate the East Region. "Fang Lianyi didn't believe it.
"No, the name of the Dusty Royal City is too famous. Even though we don't know, a force like Mount Wuzhi that has existed for a long time must have records of it."
"If this news spreads to the center of the world, it will definitely attract the attention of Mount Wuzhi and other supreme forces. If someone impersonates a force like the Dusty Royal City without absolute strength, they will undoubtedly be asking for trouble. I believe no one will do that," Xing Jue explained.
"But why would a force that disappeared for thousands of years return to the world?"
"Where did they go during these thousands of years? If they are really the Dusty Royal City, doesn't that mean they are as powerful as Mount Wuzhi? "The disciples were uneasy. They didn't expect the Dusty Royal City to have such a powerful background.
"Don't worry, everyone. If the Dusty Royal City really does return, it will be a good thing for the Everlasting Court."
"Think about it," said Xing Jue. "There are many factions that want to form a relationship with such a transcendent force, but they can't. Now, they're actually inviting the Everlasting Court to become their subsidiary force. Isn't that a good thing?"
"That's right. Becoming a disciple of Mount Wuzhi will earn you the respect of the world and the best cultivation resources."
"If I become a disciple of the Dusty Royal City, I'll definitely be able to do the same. After all, that's a transcendent power comparable to Mount Wuzhi and the Mountain Gate Valley." After hearing Xing Jue's words, Liu Bing and the other disciples started to get restless. They all felt that it was very reasonable.
In the past, the Eastern Domain had fought fiercely for the position of a nominal disciple of the Reincarnation Peak. Now that a powerful force like the Dusty Monarch City had invited them to join, it was a joyous occasion and something worth celebrating. They shouldn't be frowning like they were now.
"Four Lord Elders, Senior Brothers, Lord Headmaster is awake!" Right at this moment, a female disciple hurriedly ran out from the room.
"What's going on? Looks like we'll find out very soon." Seeing this, Xing Jue's figure flashed and he instantly dashed into the room. At the same time, the others hurriedly followed him in.
At this moment, Hong Qiang had just woken up, but his body was still very weak. He was struggling to sit up, as if he didn't want Lin Shishi and the others to see him in this state.
"Lord Hong Qiang, how do you feel?" Xing Jue's speed was as fast as light. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the bed and supported Hong Qiang, who was about to fall.
"I'm fine … I …" Hong Qiang lowered his head. At first, he thought that it was another disciple who had entered the room. However, when he raised his head and saw Xing Jue, his pale face was instantly filled with joy.
"Xing Jue!!!"
"Xing Jue, it's you? Is it really you? I'm not dreaming, am I? "
"Lord Hong Qiang, it's me. It's really me. I'm Xing Jue!"
Xing Jue hurriedly nodded. Even though his current strength was far above Hong Qiang's, he still humbly addressed Hong Qiang as Lord.
"This is great. It's great to be able to see you again."
"What … Even I can't see through your strength. Don't tell me you've already reached Intermediate Shura Martial Master?" At this moment, Hong Qiang was extremely happy. He seemed to have forgotten about his injuries as he continuously looked at Xing Jue, as if he was looking at his beloved son.
Just then, Fang Lianyi and the others also walked in. "Lord Headmaster, who injured you?"
"Yes, Father. Didn't you work with the other Headmasters to discuss with the Dusty Royal City? Why did you return with such serious injuries? "Lin Shishi also stepped forward and asked.
However, Hong Qiang did not answer. He looked at Xing Jue and slowly lowered his head. Just like Lin Shishi, he seemed to be afraid that if he told the truth, Xing Jue would get into big trouble. Especially since he knew the truth, he was really afraid that something would happen to Xing Jue.
At this moment, Tang Yu, who was in the crowd, spoke again. "Lord Headmaster, you don't have to worry about anything. Just tell me who injured you. There's no one in this world that I, Big Brother Xing Jue, can't handle."
"This is … is Lord Tang Lian from Reincarnation Peak!!!"
Hong Qiang looked at Tang Yu and realized that he didn't recognize her at all. However, when he saw Tang Lian beside her, he couldn't help but be shocked. He knew Tang Lian. She was a disciple of the Reincarnation Peak. In his eyes, she was a supreme existence.
Before Tang Lian could speak, Tang Yu spoke again, "Lord Headmaster, please don't call me that. How can my sister be called a Lord? Even Big Brother Xing Jue calls you Lord. We are all juniors in front of you, juniors with lowly statuses!"
"This …"
However, Tang Yu's words caused everyone's imagination to run wild. They could vaguely hear that Xing Jue's current position seemed to be higher than Tang Lian's, and it did not seem to be as simple as just one or two halves.
At this moment, everyone could not help but look at Xing Jue, but Xing Jue was extremely helpless. He thought to himself, "Can this girl really keep the secret?"
"Hehe!"
Tang Yu's long eyelashes fluttered as a faint smile hung at the corner of her lips. She thought to herself, "Even my sister is so remarkable in the eyes of these people, addressing her as Lord."
If they knew that Xing Jue had destroyed the Hermit Peak's foundation, killed countless legacy elders and true disciples, and even killed the demon-level Nine Supremes Elders of the Hermit Peak with an Honorable weapon, she could not imagine what kind of expression they would have.
"This …" Not only the crowd, but Hong Qiang's gaze towards Xing Jue was also complicated when he heard Tang Yu's outspoken words.
"Lord Hong Qiang, who hurt you?" Xing Jue quickly changed the topic and asked again.
"Sigh, of course it's someone from the Dusty Royal City." Hong Qiang sighed helplessly.
"Is it really the Dusty Royal City?" Hearing the answer, everyone's expression became anxious.
If it was before, they might have been infuriated, but after knowing the true identity of the Dusty Royal City, they did not even dare to be angry.
Instead, they felt fear, extreme fear, because such a force was not something they could afford to offend. Not to mention an elder, even a disciple could easily annihilate the Everlasting Institution.
"Lord Hong Qiang, what happened? Please tell us in detail."
Compared to the crowd, Xing Jue was relatively calm. Hong Qiang was only severely injured and not killed. This meant that the person who attacked had held back, so he seemed to know the truth of the matter.
"That day, I gathered the leaders of the nearby countries and went to the Dusty Royal City to negotiate with them. We could form an alliance with the Dusty Royal City, but we wouldn't become a subsidiary force of the Dusty Royal City."
"However, the elder said that unless we defeat him, we won't be qualified to form an alliance and could only become a subsidiary force. Even becoming a subsidiary force is a blessing that we have cultivated!"
"Naturally, we were enraged when we heard that, so I gathered the other leaders to defeat him and fight for the opportunity to form an alliance."
"But … that person is too strong, terrifyingly strong!"
"We couldn't even last a single round against him. We were severely injured before he even made a move." The leader's face was filled with intense fear when he mentioned the matter. It was obvious that the elder was indeed very strong.
"Leader, according to your estimation, what's the level of the elder's strength?" Xing Jue continued to ask.
"The pressure was too terrifying. In my opinion, it's not something that an Asura Martial Master can do. He's at least an Asura Wu Zun."
"Asura Wu Zun?!"
The people of the Everlasting Institution gasped when they heard Hong Qiang's words. Their already nervous expressions became even more complicated.
An Asura Martial Master was already far beyond their reach. Asura Wu Zun was like a legend in their eyes, an existence that they did not dare to imagine.
At this moment, everyone was even more convinced that the Dusty Monarch City was the terrifying existence that had unified the Eastern Region thousands of years ago. Not even Mount Wuzhi dared to provoke them, a supreme force that had disappeared for thousands of years.
"Sigh, I finally understand why a proud force like Yan City was willing to become a subsidiary force of the Dusty Monarch City. They are indeed very strong." Hong Qiang let out a long sigh, but there was no unwillingness on his face. There was only a hint of helplessness, as if he had already made up his mind.
"Leader, it's actually nothing much. It's a great opportunity for the Everlasting Institution to become a subsidiary force of the Dusty Monarch City. It's a rare opportunity," Elder Ouyang advised.
"Elder Ouyang, what do you mean?" Hong Qiang was startled, as if he did not understand.
Afterward, everyone began to tell Hong Qiang about the Dusty Monarch City. When Hong Qiang learned that the Dusty Monarch City was not a rising force, but a former overlord of the Eastern Region that was comparable to Mount Wuzhi, a supreme force that had disappeared for thousands of years, he was ecstatic.
However, when he thought about how he failed to recognize Mount Tai and tried to negotiate with the Dusty Monarch City, and even attacked the supreme elder, Hong Qiang felt that he had caused a great disaster. He was afraid that the Dusty Monarch City would make things difficult for him in the future.
After all, the Dusty Monarch City was too terrifying, especially in the eyes of people like Hong Qiang. It was an existence that they did not dare to provoke. At this moment, Hong Qiang was filled with regret and blamed himself for his foolishness.
"Leader of the Everlasting Institution, get out here!"
At this moment, an oppressive voice suddenly resounded outside the Everlasting Institution. A majestic pressure pierced through the heavens and earth, causing the vast mountain range to tremble violently. The voice even echoed in the sky like thunder, shocking everyone in the Everlasting Institution.
