Long Yu and Shu Chan left the central square together. Shu Chan went straight back to the Asura Mansion, but Long Yu didn't want to follow her to see Mo Zhaitian and Jiang Yixing. Instead, he found a corner in the city and quietly used the Divine Concealment Technique to hide himself.
Of course, he knew that many people had their eyes on him the moment he showed up. If he wasn't careful, he would die dozens of times on the way from the North Snow Imperial City to the Heavenly Mandate Manor.
After he became invisible, he flew out of the North Snow Imperial City with ease.
On the way back to the Heavenly Mandate Manor, he saw many people following him sneakily. However, because they didn't know where he went, they could only search everywhere. Unfortunately, they couldn't find Long Yu at all.
"It's the Heavenly Fire Fox Clan, the Ling Snow Fox Clan, the Chenyang House, the Dragon House …"
Just from what Long Yu saw, there were so many people from the four great powers following him, letting him know that he was indeed in a dangerous situation.
It seemed that he had to be careful no matter what he went out or what he did.
Long Yu returned to the Heavenly Mandate Manor safe and sound. As soon as he removed the Divine Concealment Technique, he saw Hong Yue walking toward him with a worried look.
"Long Yu, you're back."
Hong Yue greeted Long Yu with a worried look on her face.
"What happened to the manor?"
Asked Long Yu.
"Yes."
Hong Yue nodded and glanced around. Then she said to Long Yu, "I found many people sneaking around the manor. They seem to be investigating the situation of our manor, so I'm going to open the defense matrix."
"No need."
Long Yu shook his head and said, "Now go and inform everyone to gather in the central hall. Someone will attack tonight, but we will be fine in the central hall."
"Someone is attacking?"
Hong Yue's expression changed slightly. "Will it be the Heavenly Fire Fox Clan?"
"It should be them. Only they would be so anxious to take Huo Mei 'er back. Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed."
The corner of Long Yu's mouth curled up.
"I understand."
When Hong Yue saw Long Yu's expression, she also knew that Long Yu wanted to tease her. She immediately understood and then turned away to inform others.
When Long Yu returned to the Heavenly Mandate Manor, he immediately headed to the northern part of the manor and put away the Dragon Bone Ancient Tower that had been standing there.
The Ancient Dragon Bone Tower was a treasure that belonged to him alone. If he had enough divine rune crystals, he would be able to repair the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower into an Archaean Warrior.
In Shen Wu world, an Immemorial Soldier was almost invincible!
Long Yu had previously obtained 240 divine text crystals, which he had converted into second-tier divine text crystals. This amount was far from enough to repair the Dragon Skeleton Tower. He would need at least 10,000 divine text crystals.
That was why Long Yu had integrated these Divine Rune Crystals into the buildings of the Heavenly Mandate Manor. He had to reinforce the base camp first.
Long Yu put away the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower. After not seeing this Combat Weapon for a long time, he felt that the connection between him and the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower had weakened.
"Looks like it's best to carry the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower with me in the future."
Long Yu thought to himself.
If he could merge with the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower to a higher level, it would not only be a defensive Combat Weapon, but also a powerful offensive Combat Weapon. However, for Long Yu now, the Ancient Dragon Bone Tower only had a certain defensive function.
As for its offensive capabilities, it would definitely not be as powerful as the Nether Dragon Dagger.
Without a doubt, Long Yu needed a large number of divine rune crystals. Unfortunately, he had no way of obtaining divine rune crystals at the moment. The only way seemed to be to go to the various places where exotic beasts roamed and search for the buildings that were still under construction.
Such opportunities were extremely rare. However, if Long Yu focused on searching, it was not impossible for him to come across one.
…
The sky gradually darkened. Everyone in the Heavenly Mandate Manor arrived at the central hall without missing a single person.
There was not only one hall in the central hall. Instead, there were many smaller halls surrounding the main hall. Together, they formed an open-air building.
Right now, Long Yu and the others were in these smaller halls, discussing with Hong Yue, Qiao Ziying, Huo Mei 'er, and the others about the imperial capital's grand event.
Suddenly, a rumble sounded from outside. The entire central hall seemed to shake.
"They've come."
Long Yu narrowed his eyes, but he did not panic in the slightest.
With the strengthening effect of the divine text crystals, even an emperor realm cultivator would not be able to break through the central hall's defenses. Moreover, the Skyfire Fox Clan had no emperor realm cultivators at all.
Long Yu led Huo Mei 'er, Gu Yixian, and the others out of the smaller halls and into the open-air hall. He raised his head and saw many masked demon cultivators in black robes. Their bodies were covered in flames as they bombarded the central hall.
Unfortunately, the power of the various fire divine characters was blocked by a translucent black defensive barrier when they struck the central hall. They could not penetrate this pitch-black defensive barrier at all.
This defensive barrier was made from the divine text crystals of the ninth nether that had been infused into the building. It was strong enough to block any attack from an emperor realm cultivator!
There were two black-robed masked demon cultivators at the King Realm. After attacking the central hall for a while, they found that they were unable to break through the defensive barrier at all, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
"These fellows may be masked and dressed in black robes, but they cannot hide the fact that they are from the Skyfire Fox Clan."
Long Yu raised his head and narrowed his eyes. "Perhaps they thought that we wouldn't be able to do anything to them after capturing Huo Mei 'er. Unfortunately, they miscalculated."
Huo Mei 'er stood next to Long Yu. She raised her head and looked at the demon cultivators in the sky who were connected to her by blood. Her eyes were filled with indifference.
For the longest time, even though she was extremely talented in martial dao, she was only considered a tool in the Skyfire Fox Clan. A tool for marriage alliances!
In the Skyfire Fox Clan, women were never valued. Even though she was the daughter of the clan leader, she could not escape the fate of being married off to the Ling Snow Fox Clan.
She had been resisting all this time, but she never had a good opportunity to break free from the Skyfire Fox Clan. It was only when she met Chi Huo that she realized that she had to fight for her life.
Now she knew that she had made the right decision to come to the Heavenly Mandate Manor.
Even all the cultivators of the Skyfire Fox Clan were unable to break through the defense of the Heavenly Mandate Manor. It was shocking!
Gu Yixian stood next to Huo Mei 'er, ready to act at any time. He had been hired by Long Yu for 5,000 divine coins to protect Huo Mei' er. Naturally, he would not slack off.
If the two demon cultivators in the Secret Realm of the King Path attacked together, he would not be able to defeat them even if he could block them. Therefore, he was extremely careful.
What surprised him was that the demon cultivators in the sky were unable to break through the defensive barrier of the building!
"It is as Long Yu said. The buildings in the Heavenly Mandate Manor have all been reinforced with special methods …" Gu Yixian's eyes lit up.
Gu Yixian's eyes brightened. Of course, he knew that only the Five Emperors Alliance possessed such methods to strengthen buildings.
Gu Yixian recalled that Long Yu's courtyard on the fifth level of the Spring Sky Tower was given to him by an elder of the Alliance of Five Emperors. Gu Yixian was not surprised that Long Yu was able to do this.
The demon cultivators of the Skyfire Fox Clan in the sky tried for two hours. Seeing that they could not break through the defensive barrier of the building, they finally dispersed and left. It seemed that they had given up on attacking.
After all, they had launched a night attack near the North Snow Dynasty. It would be great if no one noticed it. If someone with ulterior motives saw it, they would be in big trouble.
"Everyone, disperse. Remember not to leave the central hall tonight. Just rest here for the night."
Long Yu gathered everyone in the Heavenly Mandate Manor in the central hall. Then, he said, "As for tomorrow, I will have Hong Yue activate the defensive matrix. No one is allowed to leave."
Now, everyone in the Heavenly Mandate Manor obeyed Long Yu. Everything they had now was given to them by Long Yu. Without Long Yu, they had no chance of rising in a place like the North Snow Imperial City.
Long Yu told them to stay put. Of course, they would not wander around.
To prevent the people of the Skyfire Fox Clan from waiting outside, Long Yu did not let anyone leave the central hall. Everyone spent the night in the central hall.
The next morning, when the sun shone through the open-air hall, Long Yu was ready to leave the central hall with everyone.
When he gathered everyone, Long Yu had already used his Divine Concealment to patrol the entire Heavenly Mandate Manor. He made sure that no one was there. Then, he came back and told everyone to prepare to leave.
Hong Yue directly activated the defensive array formation, preventing others from attacking. Following that, Long Yu brought the nine people who were going to participate in the first round of the Imperial Capital Grand Meet. In addition to Nanmen Yingxia, Gu Wenshan, and Gu Yixian, the three members of the Broken Tooth Squad, they flew towards the North Snow Imperial Capital.
Last night, the Skyfire Fox Clan launched an attack. They did not manage to take Huo Mei 'er away. They must be very angry.
However, what the Skyfire Fox Clan thought had nothing to do with Long Yu. Now, he was thinking about how to amaze everyone in the Imperial Capital Grand Meeting and defeat the Lingxue Commandery!
Just when everyone thought that the Heavenly Mandate Manor would be easily defeated by the cultivators of the Lingxue Commandery, Long Yu was quite confident that he could defeat the ten people of the Lingxue Commandery.
Along the way, Long Yu and the others met the people of the Soaring Fog Manor.
"The Heavenly Mandate Manor. Hehe, after today, none of you will have a place to hide. Let's see if you can still be so arrogant!"
Among the people of the Soaring Fog Manor, the young master, Teng Xingyun, glanced at Long Yu and the others with disdain.
"Arrogant?"
Fengyu Xin, Ye Lun, Man Xin, and the others were stunned when they heard this. They could not understand. Most of the people of the Heavenly Mandate Manor had been cultivating in the manor. How could they be arrogant?
Instead, the one who was arrogant was the young master named Teng Xingyun!
However, Long Yu could not be bothered with a force like the Soaring Fog Manor. The strength of the Soaring Fog Manor was not even comparable to the Lingxue Commandery. There was nothing worth paying attention to.
The two parties flew forward with some distance between them. Soon, the North Snow Imperial City appeared in front of everyone.
"Are the people of the Skyfire Fox Clan trying to rob us?"
When they were not far from the gates of the North Snow Imperial City, Long Yu and the others saw a group of people of the Skyfire Fox Clan blocking their way, including the clan leader of the Skyfire Fox Clan, Huo Haocang. All of them stared at Long Yu and the others with unfriendly expressions.
"Brother Yixian, it's all up to you now."
Long Yu said in a low voice.
The people of the Skyfire Fox Clan were blocking their way. It was very likely that they wanted to force their way in. A huge battle was about to break out!
