The bright moonlight sprinkled down on the mountain forest, it was like a large piece of spotlessly white feathers falling to the ground. Under the watery moonlight, the broad road passing through the mountain forest looked like a huge yellow dragon.
Each and every one of the five hundred knights had a solemn expression. Each and every one of them looked like a god of war. They were wearing a set of iron armor that flickered with a cold metallic radiance. Every set of armor was carved by swords and swords. They were flowing with the mark of time, recording their former glory.
This was the famous Solar Knights of the West. During the ancient times, they once slew gods and slayed demons. Although most of the former knights were no longer around, their armor was passed down from generation to generation. This was a kind of honor, this was a kind of glory!
Becoming a Solar Knight was the dream of many men in the west.
Each and every one of the five hundred knights were brimming with killing intent. When they gathered together, their killing intent soared into the sky. This kind of imposing manner could be said to be extremely intimidating, it would make people tremble in fear. Some of them carried golden spears on their backs, some carried two-handed greatswords on their backs. Every single one of them had a faint bloody aura lingering around them. One could imagine that they were powerful practitioners that had gone through the baptism of countless blood. That golden long hair was fluttering in the bloody mist, it was as dazzling as the sun.
Their mounts were not ordinary. Some of them were subspecies of dragon with dense scales all over their bodies — — Earth Dragons, or bizarre beasts like Winged Leopards.
Shocking, the impression that the five hundred knights gave people was nothing but shock.
Xiao Chen, the Solitary Sword Demon, Oxman, and Chrysus had already retreated far away. They watched silently from the distant sky. They all felt that the power of these five hundred knights was unimaginable. It seemed like they could sweep through everything in their way. Even if they were to face an army of a million, they wouldn't be defeated!
The five hundred knights were surrounding Zhao Lin Er. The snow-white celestial steed looked like it was carved out of a fine jade. It emitted a gentle radiance under the moonlight. It seemed even more extraordinary. Four years had passed since they parted on the dragon island. The celestial steed had already grown to the size of a common horse. It was even more spirited.
Zhao Lin Er sat upright on top of it. Under the hazy moonlight, she seemed otherworldly and beautiful. It was easy to tell that her position in the troop was quite high. The five hundred knights were protecting her like stars surrounding the moon.
This made Xiao Chen speechless. The grudges between him and Zhao Lin Er were already hard to explain. After going through the mediation of the Heaven's Chosen Fairy, Lan Nuo, it was no longer appropriate for them to face each other to the death. When they met again, he did not expect that she would obtain such a position. As expected, the methods of a princess born from the royal family were not ordinary.
"Isn't this that chick Zhao? I could already tell when we were on the Dragon Island. She really isn't ordinary."
Oxman shook his huge bull horns and seemed to be thinking about something.
As for the Solitary Sword Demon, he only swept a glance at Zhao Lin Er. He turned his attention to the five hundred knights.
"You, you, you … tell me. Th-th-that … little Pegasus is not good enough for a little … little donkey like me? Also, also … also … that little … little girl who rides on a heavenly horse … is she … is she good enough for me? "
The lecherous man's peach blossom eyes were shining with a lecherous light, his eyes almost popping out. Oxman curled his lips and mercilessly said, "Stop daydreaming. You're just a toad trying to eat swan meat."
"This, this, this … this isn't a dream. This is a dream … a dream. Ambitious! "
Chrysus squinted his eyes lecherously and said, "No-no-no … Haven't you heard the great man say … say … say it? No-no-no … I don't want to eat swan … toad … toad is not … not a good toad. "
The five hundred knights escorted Zhao Lin Er. When they passed by the battlefield just now, they immediately stopped.
Even though it was an aerial battle just now, the remnant energy hadn't completely dissipated yet. It rippled on the ground. And the experts among them had already sensed the abnormality when the battle was nearing its end. It's just that they didn't want to get involved, so they didn't come over to investigate.
The five hundred knights were all wielding spears and swords. They were on their guard. In the end, only when the three elderly knights stepped forward to lead the way did they set off again. However, all of them were holding their weapons. Their killing intent soared to the sky.
"Their vigilance is really high."
Xiao Chen looked at their departing figures and said, "I'm afraid something big is about to happen."
"That's the Solar Knights!"
The silent Solitary Sword Demon only uttered these few words.
At this point, everyone understood that they were definitely people from the Roman Empire, one of the five hegemons. The Roman Empire was a country ruled by religion. However, they did not believe in a single God. Several major religions took turns to control the fate of the country, and the monarch was appointed by those popes.
The Faith of the Sun was the symbol of light and holiness. It was one of the major political sects. The God of the Sun was sometimes called the Holy God of Light.
The Sun Knights were the guardian knights of the Sun Religion. They had shone brilliantly in the ancient war.
"Pa Pa … Pa Pa … Pa Pa … Hegemon Nation … W-W-Are we going to war?"
Chrysus's sharp senses sensed something.
Yindu's city gate was opened from afar. A group of people came out to welcome the five hundred knights into the capital of Shang Dynasty.
"Bro … bro bro bro … brothers, let's go … go go go … to sell tiger pelts. I'll bring you guys to a good place to play. That, that, that … is the legendary … god-god-god-village. Maybe you can … soak … soak a fairy as your wife! "
The vulgar man's face was filled with lust.
Regarding the so-called legendary god-village, even the ice- cold Solitary Sword Demon was very interested. The few of them had no objection and followed Chrysus to a place a hundred miles away.
However … when they arrived at the destination, they discovered that the so-called god-village was not related to a god at all. This was a mass grave. There were graves everywhere, and will-o '-the-wisps could be seen everywhere. The dark green flame was especially eerie in the middle of the night.
In the distance, there were all kinds of indescribable whimpering sounds transmitted over. In addition to the exposed bones on the ground from time to time, this place really did not have the slightest bit of divine aura. It was more like a ghost town.
"T-T-T-T-We're here. Th-th-th-that … that god-village is drifting. It's said that … it will arrive in the sky above this area in the near future. "
The Crimson Dragon King, Black Dragon King, and the little donkey carried their masters and soared into the sky. Xiao Chen only followed behind them.
The clouds in the sky were light and the wind was gentle. There was nothing out of the ordinary. The stars were twinkling, and the bright moon was hanging high up in the sky. The so-called god-village was nowhere to be found.
"Stuttering, you're trying to fool us again. You're really asking for a beating! "
"N-n-n-no, I-I-I … I heard it from a t-t-teacher, it can't be wrong."
However, no matter how the stuttering man explained, the few of them couldn't find where the god-village was. In the end, they could only leave.
However, just when everyone flew for more than ten miles, they suddenly felt a fluctuation transmitted from the sky. A large piece of black cloud drifted past and covered the moon and stars in an instant. It made the mass grave in front of them pitch-black. They couldn't see any light at all.
"This … is this the god-village you were talking about?"
Xiao Chen, the Solitary Sword Demon, and the others were keenly aware that the endless black cloud in the sky was definitely not simple. The pressure was so heavy that they couldn't breathe. They didn't rush forward recklessly, they chose to observe from a distance instead.
"Crackle, crackle, crackle …"
The huge lightning was dancing wildly outside the black cloud. Every silver snake was as thick as a small mountain. They were countless times more terrifying than the ordinary lightning. It was easy to imagine that if they rushed over recklessly. They would definitely be turned into ashes by the lightning.
The vulgar man shrunk his neck and said with a stutter, "S-s-s-it seems like there are some restrictions, n-n-no … it's not something we can go up to."
"No matter how I look at it, it looks like a demonic village."
Although they were curious, they did not want to play around with their lives. Even though they wanted to go up and see what was going on, they were faced with that terrifying lightning. In the end, they chose to retreat.
The vulgar Chrysus slipped away on his little donkey.
The Solitary Sword Demon didn't say anything. He let the Crimson Dragon King fly into the depths of the mountains, and he himself sped towards Yindu like a streak of transient light. He wouldn't leave the Shang Dynasty's capital in a short period of time. Daoist Master Zhang Sanfeng's three chapters of sword intent had attracted his attention.
Oxman patted the Black Dragon King and said, "Don't fight with the Scarlet Dragon King. Let's go to another mountain range."
He wasn't afraid that the Black Dragon King would suffer a loss. After all, he was not enemies with the Solitary Sword Demon. If the Black Dragon King used the Sacred Sword of the Dragon Clan and really killed the Red Dragon King, the Black Dragon King would definitely die. He was afraid that he would have to face the Solitary Sword Demon in the future.
"The Dragon Kings don't necessarily have to face each other in a life and death battle. In the end, there will be a few that will survive. It's still not the time for you guys to have a decisive battle."
Oxman was very sympathetic towards the tragic situation of the dragons. He tried to console the Black Dragon. In the end, a streak of black light flew towards the mountain range in the distance.
Oxman looked at Xiao Chen and said, "You should leave Yindu as soon as possible. The strong tiger was killed by us. Under these circumstances, everyone will suspect that it was related to you."
"It's fine, I just need to change my face. Yindu might be very lively, I don't want to leave."
Xiao Chen let Oxman leave first. After that, he executed the Eightfold Worlds and blended into the night sky from another direction.
Early in the morning, the splendid morning glow gushed out from the east and sprinkled into Yindu. A new day had begun.
Today was bound to not be peaceful.
On a wasteland outside of Yindu's west gate, the half-severed body was recognized by the people. It was actually the demigod level strong tiger from the Tiger Clan.
A demigod died just like that … When this news reached Yindu, many people immediately made all kinds of associations.
The Tiger Clan was definitely a super prominent clan in the Middle Earth. They had a long history, and their strength was hard to fathom. Someone actually dared to pull a tooth out of the tiger's mouth. Just how courageous was that?
As long as the ancestor of the Tiger Clan, the White Tiger Heavenly Emperor, still existed, they would definitely be the most difficult clan to provoke in the world.
One must know that the White Tiger Heavenly Emperor was someone who could stand toe to toe with the true "king" of the dragons. He had even fought against the Buddha before. Although he did not win, he was able to escape unscathed. Such power was simply too terrifying. Associating it with the recent events, Xiao Shishui naturally became everyone's target of suspicion.
Many people were secretly guessing that Xiao Shishui's divine ability might really be able to fight against a demigod. A terrifying divine ability could completely surpass one's level. Many people felt that it was extremely possible that Xiao Shishui was the one who killed the strong tiger.
Of course, there were also people who doubted that no matter how powerful Xiao Shishui was, he was only a Historia realm expert. It was impossible for him to kill a demigod. This was definitely a conspiracy. An older generation expert killed the strong tiger and purposely threw the situation into disorder to retaliate against the Tiger Clan.
Some people even suspected that Xiao Chen had reappeared, even though it was rumored that he had died on that night three years ago. However, no one had seen his corpse. Many people guessed that Xiao Chen had come with experts to take revenge.
For a moment, rumors were flying around, and everyone was talking about it.
And another important matter had also spread among the children of the influential families in Yindu. The saintess of the Sun God Religion of the Roman Empire arrived at the capital of the Shang Dynasty under the protection of five hundred knights. The two countries were going to form an alliance to fight against the other hegemon country — Vatican.
Although it was only spread in a small circle. However, those who were familiar with the situation on the continent knew that there would be a war between the Vatican and the Roman Empire sooner or later. Recently, there had been frequent clashes. Over the past hundreds of years, there had been many conflicts between the Brahman Kingdom and the Great Shang Empire. It was not surprising that the Great Luo Empire would send people to ally with them.
Any knowledgeable person had already realized that the war was imminent. Yindu was in a state of turmoil.
In the next few days, the representatives of the Roman Empire and the Shang Empire frequently held secret talks.
On the fifth day, in a royal garden. The beautiful Zhao Lin Er stood in the pavilion by the lake. His expression was incomparably cold as he forcefully smashed the jade cup in his hand, startling the school of koi fish under the lotus flower in the lake and causing them to scatter.
The little pegasus was eating the jade ginseng in the fragrant grassland not far away. It looked over suspiciously.
A few Solar Knights walked into the pavilion with quick steps. They were all youngsters. Not only were they the strongest among the five hundred knights, they were also the most loyal followers of the saintess. They were extremely angry.
"The Shang Empire is too much. That second prince actually wants the saintess to be his concubine. He really deserves to die!"
"Saintess, please allow me to have a duel with him. I will definitely chop off his head!"
"We are willing to fight for the saintess!"
Zhao Lin Er gradually calmed down. Her heavenly voice lingered in the pavilion, "Don't act rashly. Their conditions are rude. We can just reject them. There's no need to go to war. This is Yindu. This is not Rome. Don't stir up trouble. "
"But … they are too much. They know the doctrine of our religion. The saintess is not to be blasphemed, yet they are still so rude. "
"No matter. Saintess, I have an idea. Please allow us to challenge the experts of Yindu. We will not cause a bloody conflict. We will stop when necessary. Since they are humiliating us, then we must retaliate. We must make them lose all their face. We must make all their so-called young elites suffer a crushing defeat. "
"Honorable saintess, please believe us. We will act appropriately."
Zhao Lin Er was like a fairy from the Jade Lake. She stood at the lakeside. A cool breeze blew past. Her white clothes fluttered along with the wind, as if she could fly away with the wind at any time.
She sighed softly and said, "I am afraid that something will happen to you guys. This is the capital of the Shang Empire. So what if you guys defeat their young elites? This is their country. If they care about their reputation, they can call over the strongest young elites of the Shang Empire at any time. At that time, you guys will be at a disadvantage. "
"The strongest young elites of the Shang Empire …"
The Solar Knights' expressions froze. Immediately, a few figures appeared in their minds. They recalled the legendary men and women of the Shang Empire. They paid special attention to the young elites of the world. Naturally, they had a certain understanding of them. However, they laughed again in the end.
"We will stop when necessary. We will not go to war with them. What's more, so what if their strongest expert appears? The experts of our Solar Religion will arrive soon. The outstanding figures of the other major religions will arrive as well. At that time, it will be enough to suppress those controversial experts from the Shang Empire. "
The strong tiger was killed, but not only did Xiao Shishui not run away, he even showed up openly. This made everyone suspicious. If it was really Xiao Shishui who did it, would he still dare to stay in Yindu?
After all, that strong tiger was out of the ordinary. Rumor has it that he might be a seedling that the White Tiger Heavenly Emperor wanted to nurture. Many people guessed that this might not be related to Xiao Chen at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't stay in Yindu for even a second longer.
And in the following days, Yindu could be said to be incomparably lively. The experts of the Solar Religion challenged everyone in Yindu. All of the second prince's followers were defeated miserably. This made the second prince lose all his face.
The Divine Spell Caster and the martial artists who mastered the combat skills of the Western Race set off a storm in Yindu.
The defeat of the second prince was only the beginning. The challenges gradually escalated after that. Even a few of Yindu's royal families got involved. Even though Bosch, Chen Hangjin, and the others won a few matches in a row, most of the other aristocratic descendants were defeated miserably.
Xiao Chen completely adopted the attitude of watching a show. He would definitely go and watch every challenge. He was very carefree. For the past few days, he had been avoiding the third princess. Because according to his speculation, the third princess would ask him and the Solitary Sword Demon to make a move sooner or later. And Xiao Chen didn't want to get involved in this whirlpool.
Yindu was in a state of turmoil. The other two of the Heroic Four were rushing back at top speed. And the third princess of Shang Empire even wrote a letter in her own handwriting to invite the legendary young experts to the imperial capital.
At the same time, the experts of the Solar Religion were also about to arrive. The outstanding young experts of the other major religions would also arrive at Yindu soon.
Regarding this, no matter if it was the elders of the Shang Empire or the bishops of the Solar Religion, all of them only smiled. An alliance was inevitable, but some "clashes" still had to be carried out. Although they didn't make the arrangements themselves, they were paying close attention. They wanted to see if the next generation could suppress the other side.
