Very soon, the five Chaotic Primes that the Four Symbols Alliance had arranged for the young star lord appeared before him.
The five of them were all ruddy old men. Their white robes were spotless, and they seemed like they had an air about them.
He had a sage-like temperament.
They were figures of great authority in the Four Symbols Alliance. As great elders, they basically stood above everyone else. Only the five ancestors could order them around in the entire Four Symbols Alliance.
However, they dared not put on any airs at all before the young star lord. They all concealed their presences and did their best to appear ordinary. They clasped their fists politely towards the young star lord.
The son of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord possessed status that was just too great. Who knew how many years it had been since someone with such status had appeared on the Cloud Plane. As a result, the five of them were rather cautious before the young star lord.
This was because they understood that even though they were Chaotic Primes, which made them figures that stood above the rest in the entire Saints' World, they were nothing in the eyes of a supreme expert like the Nine Brilliance Star Lord who could shake up the entire Saints' World.
"The five of you, immediately gather people and destroy the Tianyuan family. I don't want the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen, to live another day," the young star lord said coldly. What he had gone through with the Tianyuan family was the greatest humiliation of his life. This humiliation could only be washed away with the blood of the entire Tianyuan family.
However, when the five Supreme Elders heard that, their expressions changed slightly. They revealed troubled expressions. They looked at each other and began to converse with each other through sound transmissions.
"Although we're the young star lord's guards and have to follow his orders, if we really listen to him and destroy the Tianyuan family, we'll probably be done for if the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng looks into it …" "You're right.
The young star lord is the son of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. The Heavenly Palace of Bisheng will obviously not make things difficult for the young star lord for the sake of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. However, it's different for us. With the young star lord's talent, he probably won't be able to protect us from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng unless the Nine Brilliance Star Lord appears … "
"Do you think the Nine Brilliance Star Lord will personally appear for us?"
"Do you even need to ask? Why would the Nine Brilliance Star Lord fall out with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng for a few mere Chaotic Primes like us … "
The five great elders were old monsters who had lived for who knows how many years, so they were naturally not idiots. They thought of many things in a single instance. Both the young star lord and his protector, Mu Lin, failed to sense anything as they communicated secretly.
"The Tianyuan family cannot be destroyed!" They came to an agreement. They wanted to gain the support of the young star lord, but they also did not want to fall out with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.
The young star lord's face immediately sank when he saw how the five great elders still did not move. He was displeased. "Why aren't you moving? Didn't you hear what I said? "
A Grand Elder smiled embarrassedly and said, "Young Master Taibai Jinxing, can you listen to me?"
"Speak!" The young star lord was impatient.
"Since the Tianyuan family has offended the young star lord, they obviously have to pay a heavy price. However, if we kill them all, we'll be letting Jianchen off too easily. As a result, we should nibble away at the Tianyuan family bit by bit, swallowing them up step by step. We need to make them slowly descend into the abyss of helplessness and despair. Young Master Taibai Jinxing, don't you think this will be more interesting than directly destroying them? "said a Grand Elder.
The young star lord thought about it carefully. Slowly nibbling away at the Tianyuan family and making the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen, watch helplessly was indeed more interesting than directly destroying the Tianyuan family. As a result, he agreed to the Grand Elder's suggestion.
.....
Three days later, the current emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng, read through memorials in his study. Suddenly, one of his personal guards barged in from outside in a hurry. He knelt down on one knee before Mo Xingfeng and said, "Emperor, we've just received an emergency report. The eastern border has suddenly been invaded. The walls of the fortress have been breached, and the great general guarding the eastern border has died in battle. Our army has suffered several hundred thousand casualties, and we've been utterly defeated."
"What?" The emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng, changed in expression when he heard that. He slammed the memorial in his hand onto the table furiously and stood up suddenly. He growled, "Which organisation is attacking our Pingtian Empire?"
"Your majesty, according to the reports, it's a mysterious organisation that has never been heard of on the Cloud Plane. Their flag is nine shining stars."
"Nine shining stars?" Mo Xingfeng frowned. He thought through all the organisations of various sizes on the Cloud Plane, but he failed to find any that used stars as their flag.
"Report!" At this moment, another guard ran in hurriedly. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Your majesty, there's an emergency report from the western fortress. A group of unknown enemies have attacked our western border. The western border has been breached, and the great general guarding the west has died in battle …"
"Report! Your majesty, the southern fortress has suddenly been attacked. The fortress has been breached, and over a million of our army have died in battle …"
In just a short while, the eastern, western, and southern borders of the Pingtian Empire were attacked by powerful enemies. All the fortresses had been breached. Originally, the Pingtian Empire that basically no one dared to offend on the Cloud Plane because of the support of the Tianyuan family and the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng suddenly faced the greatest danger they had ever faced.
The emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng, became extremely stern. The fortresses of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian were extremely tough. They were reinforced by various formations and defensive mechanisms. Even if they faced the attacks of the most powerful army on the Cloud Plane, they could last for half a month.
Yet now, three fortresses had been breached in such a short amount of time. Only powerful Primordial realm experts could achieve this.
This matter was extremely severe. It was not something the Pingtian Empire could deal with on their own.
"Activate the short-distance teleportation formation. I need to pay a visit to the Tianyuan family immediately." Mo Xingfeng was stern. He left the study in a hurry, hurrying towards the provincial city as quickly as he could.
The discussion hall of the Tianyuan family in the provincial city was completely filled. All the members of the upper echelon of the Tianyuan family and the Primordial realm protectors had gathered there. Mo Xingfeng sat down quietly in his dragon robes with a sunken face.
All of them were extremely stern. None of them said anything, causing the atmosphere in the discussion hall to become rather heavy.
They were all waiting for a single person, which was the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan, Jianchen.
"I already know about the matter," at this moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out in the quiet discussion hall.
At the very top of the discussion hall, the space on the empty patriarch's throne suddenly distorted slightly. Jianchen appeared there silently.
His gaze swept across the faces of the people gathered below, and his expression was very calm.
"Originally, I thought he would directly attack my Tianyuan family, but I never thought he would actually move against the Pingtian Empire first." Jianchen was indifferent. He did not panic at all. His powerful senses of the soul had already enveloped the entire Pingtian Empire. He knew the situation in the eastern, western, and southern fortresses like the back of his hand.
