"My royal palace …"
Seeing how the royal palace had been reduced to rubble in the blink of an eye, Sovereign Chen Ling spurted a mouthful of blood.
This was a place that his ancestors had spent countless years and effort to build, and yet, it had exploded just like that …
Can anyone tell me what happened?
"Sovereign Chen Ling …"
The two Ancient Sages who had fought with Ancient Sage Mo Ling earlier flew over, and one of them said with a pale face, "That fellow named Zhang Xuan whom Your Majesty spoke of earlier set up a thousand formation flags here … After that, he borrowed the formation in the royal palace. Is he the one who caused the explosion as well?"
"He set up a formation flag?"
Sovereign Chen Ling's body swayed weakly.
There were tens of thousands of inscriptions and several hundred formations of different sizes in Sovereign Chen Ling's royal palace. It was due to these formations that he had been able to fend off the attacks of Sovereign Chen Yong and the other experts. Now that he had destroyed the formation, he was exposed before everyone, completely unprotected.
On top of that, if Sovereign Chen Yong were to return, wouldn't he be at his mercy?
"Bring all of the artifacts that the appraisers have appraised over right now!"
Sovereign Chen Ling said with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, we haven't determined the exact value of those artifacts yet …" the pale-faced Ancient Sage said anxiously.
Sovereign Chen Ling waved his hand grandly. "There's no time to verify it! By the time they appraise it, I might have already been killed! "
"But … Your Majesty, you should know the rules. If the appraisal is inaccurate, not only will you not be able to recover from your injuries, it might even worsen the situation …"
"Cut the crap and bring them over! There's no time left! Life or death, it all depends on this! "
Sovereign Chen Ling bellowed furiously.
With the Dragon Blood stolen, he had no choice but to take a risk. Otherwise, it was hard to say whether he would be able to hold on to the fruits of his labor.
It seemed like the five Ancient Sages in the sky had agreed to his terms, but if he were to become so weak that he could not even put up a fight, there was a good chance that they would be the ones to devour him first!
"Yes …"
Seeing that Sovereign Chen Ling was determined to go his own way, the pale-faced Ancient Sage hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, he flew down to the ground.
"I won't lose!"
A savage gleam flashed across Sovereign Chen Ling's face as he clenched his fists tightly.
…
Weng!
An unknown distance away from King City, space trembled and a crack appeared. After which, Zhang Xuan tumbled out from the crack and landed heavily on the ground.
"Guild Leader..."
A Primordial Spirit floated beside him, and upon seeing that he had actually managed to escape, he turned to look at the young man on the ground with a look of disbelief.
He was only a Sempiternal realm consummation cultivator, but he had actually managed to escape from the hands of so many Ancient Sages and wreak havoc in the area.
Only he could do it.
"Where's your body?"
Zhang Xuan looked over.
"What a soul oracle fears the most is a sneak attack on its physical body. Thus, I created a small dimension for it to fly along with my soul …"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling replied with a smile.
Only then did Zhang Xuan realize that there was actually a ring formed from soul power on his finger.
Hu!
After communicating telepathically, Ancient Sage Mo Ling's physical body appeared before him, and he dived his Primordial Spirit into it.
"Not bad …"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
With this method, there was indeed no need to worry about his physical body.
This was especially so for his physical body. If he could not keep an eye on it, he would run out to fight. With this, he would be much safer.
"This is the Battlefield of Firefeather. We're already ten million li away from the capital, so it's unlikely that they'll be able to catch up to us … Guild leader, what should we do now?"
He had already fallen out with Sovereign Chen Ling, so there was no way he could return to the capital anymore. Thus, he could only follow behind the guild leader and listen to his orders.
"There's no need to rush. Let's recuperate and recover our strength first before making any further plans!"
Zhang Xuan said with a wave of his hand.
He had just set up the formation and activated the entire formation in Sovereign Chen Ling's palace, so he had expended a great deal of energy. More importantly, the danger had been resolved, so he had to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Dongxu Gourd.
Otherwise, no one would be able to take it if it kept popping up all of a sudden!
"You're right!"
Hearing those words, Ancient Sage Mo Ling also felt fatigued. He quickly set up a formation around the area before sitting down to recover his soul energy.
Seeing that Ancient Sage Mo Ling was cultivating, Zhang Xuan stowed the golden page and the Ancient Sage corpses back into his storage ring before starting to cultivate.
The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn in the Library of Heaven's Path allowed him to cultivate ten times faster than before.
With a frown, Zhang Xuan sent his consciousness over to his dantian.
At this moment, the Dongxu Gourd was still lying comfortably within it. It had no intention of leaving at all.
Seeing how the Dongxu Gourd was behaving, Zhang Xuan could not help but fume furiously, "Spit out the dragon blood!"
Even though the Dongxu Gourd had stolen the dragon blood from Sovereign Chen Ling, it was useless against him!
If he could give it to the Dragonbone Divine Spear, there would be no need for him to escape at all. He would be able to wreak havoc in Sovereign Chen Ling's palace and even kill Sovereign Chen Ling with a single spear strike!
"There's no need to get agitated. The zhenqi in your dantian is pure and comfortable. I'll leave once I'm done digesting the dragon blood!"
The Dongxu Gourd said.
"Scram right now! When I gave you the meteorite back then, I told you that I wouldn't enter your dantian anymore. Are you going back on your words now?"
Zhang Xuan was so furious that he could explode.
This is my dantian! How can you be so shameless as to continue living in it?
I'm such a principled person. How could I accept such a shameless treasure like you?
"Fine, I'll leave. I, Little Gourd, am a man of my word!"
The Dongxu Gourd muttered under its breath before flying out from his dantian.
"Where's the dragon blood?"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. "Hurry up and spit it out!"
"I have already assimilated it!" the Dongxu Gourd boasted shamelessly.
"Assimilated it? Didn't you say that you would only leave after assimilating the dragon blood? "
"That … Even though I haven't assimilated it completely, I have already assimilated a portion of it. Besides, I was the one who swallowed it, so of course it's mine!" the Dongxu Gourd said matter-of-factly.
"No matter how much you have assimilated, hurry up and spit out the rest for the Dragonbone Divine Spear. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting nasty!" Zhang Xuan harrumphed.
"I stole it, so it's mine. Do you have any conscience in threatening me like that? I'm just a plant!"
The Dongxu Gourd said. "I think that you are right. The dragon blood isn't of much use to me. It's just that I find it a little annoying, so I want to eat it. I'll spit it out right now. Can you move the saber away now?"
Zhang Xuan harrumphed coldly as he kept the Infernal Blacksaber.
You sure are shameless! If you continue spouting nonsense, do you believe that I won't chop you into pieces?
The Dongxu Gourd shook its head, and a droplet of blood appeared before Zhang Xuan.
Just as the Dongxu Gourd had said, a large portion of the dragon blood had already been devoured. Not even a fifth of it was left.
For a Dongxu Gourd to devour the dragon blood instead of lying down obediently … How inhumane!
Even though it was only a fifth of the dragon blood, it still emanated a powerful aura due to the ritual of Sovereign Chen Ling. Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the Dragonbone Divine Spear flew out.
"Hurry up and swallow it. Let's see if we can use this opportunity to break the seal!"
It was indeed a little, but it was better than nothing.
