Second Elder Yan Zhao took a deep look at Chen Luoyang.
Most of the Devil religion Elders in the Doyen Cabinet once held real power, but after the new Hierarch ascended to the throne, they lost their power and were left idle by the new Hierarch.
Now that Chen Luoyang had given them a new task, it seemed like a good thing, but Yan Zhao could tell at a glance that it was actually a trap.
It would not be a problem for them to be independent if they went somewhere else.
But for the southernmost Jiaozhou and westernmost Snowy Highlands of the Demon Domain, it was equivalent to being exiled.
On the highlands, the sky was vast, there were either snowy mountains or grasslands, but there were no people.
It was inconvenient to travel from other places, and the local resources were not easy to mine.
If they wanted to recruit a private army there, it was hidden, but the problem was that it was not easy to find people, and it was difficult to form a reliable team.
A large group of martial artists needed a large population, and a large selection of materials to support it.
On the highlands, there was no one within a thousand miles, and the population was so sparse that it made people's hair stand.
And now, the Devil Monk lineage suddenly appeared there.
The number of enemies was unknown, and so was their strength.
Yan Zhao's return was basically equivalent to walking into a thunder.
Not to mention that Second Elder had no intention of colluding with external enemies, even if he really wanted to, it would be very difficult.
Because of the inheritance of Rulai's Demonic Palm, the relationship between the Devil Monk lineage and the Devil religion was like fire and water.
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but Second Elder Marituo Yan Zhao Yan was the person with the highest attainment in Rulai's Demonic Palm in the Devil religion King Wu …
In the past few decades, he had killed the most Devil Monk descendants in the entire religion.
As for betraying the religion and joining the Devil Monk lineage, if the other party was willing to let bygones be bygones, Second Elder Yan would not consider it.
"I will set off now." The haggard old man's white eyebrows did not move at all, slightly drooping.
Chen Luoyang nodded, "If there is anything unusual, report it immediately. I will go to Yuwen Peak and consider going west to the highlands, and personally deal with it."
Yan Zhao cupped his hands, "Thank you, Hierarch."
"Second Elder is very experienced. I won't say much. I'll just say one thing." Su Wei said, "The descendant of the Demonic Monk this time may be from the same sect as the descendant of the Sinful Dhuta that we are familiar with. Perhaps the Sinful Dhuta was someone who secretly learned the Divine Skill and escaped. Perhaps we don't have to be so tense with the descendant of the Demonic Monk this time."
Yan Zhao said indifferently, "It is not without reason."
After that, he bowed to Chen Luoyang and took his leave.
After Yan Zhao left the main hall and returned to his own residence, there were already three people waiting for him in his room.
Third Elder Wang Mofeng.
Fourth Elder Chai Han.
Fifth Elder Tan Yunsheng.
"Let the I area go to the Snowy Highlands." Yan Zhao said calmly.
The other three looked worried.
"Eldest Brother Xie is recuperating in the main altar. Second Brother Yan, you have gone to the highlands. The Grand Master is becoming more and more isolated. He may even have to face Yuwen Feng and Li Yuanlong …" Chai Han said in a low voice.
"At this critical juncture where the Divine Prefecture is being swallowed, Chen Luoyang will not let Chen Chuhua leave the Central Plains. It will be good enough if Wang Fei and Su Ye don't cause trouble." Yan Zhao said indifferently, "If it's not I, then it's Mofeng. There's nothing to say."
Fifth Elder Tan Yunsheng said, "I will go with Second Brother Yan."
Chai Han sighed, "They are becoming more and more scattered."
"Hong Yan is staying in Shu Province. Second Brother Yan has no one to take care of him on the Snowy Highlands." Tan Yunsheng said, "Other than the descendant of the Demonic Monk, he may also have to deal with the foreign races occupying the Western Regions. Second Brother Yan can't split himself."
Yan Zhao looked at him and said Slowly, "If that's the case, I will have to trouble Yunsheng and I to go to the highlands."
After Fifth Elder Tan Yunsheng volunteered to go with Second Elder Yan Zhao to the Snowy Highlands, Chen Luoyang agreed to his request.
Yan Zhao and Tan Yunsheng immediately set off.
The Crimson Dragon Imperial Carriage flew into Yu Province.
The Devil religion had officially set foot in the core territory of the Xia Dynasty.
The Imperial Capital of the Xia Dynasty, Yu Capital, was located in the heart of Yu Province.
There were still four days before the battle between the two emperors. The Crimson Dragon Imperial Carriage arrived outside Yu Capital.
At this moment, a great battle was taking place in the sky above the number one city in the Divine Prefecture.
The dark night fell. The dark starry sky covered half of Yu Capital, turning the day into night.
In the night sky, a silver moon hung high, facing the sun which was as bright as the midday sun.
Below Yu Capital, a huge talisman array that looked like a tortoise shell appeared in mid-air. It rotated continuously, dispersing the pressure from the starry sky.
Chen Luoyang knew that it was formed by the Martial Intent of the First Seat of Rosefinch Hall, Yan Mingkong.
At this moment, his main focus was on Yu Capital.
The name of the Grand Xia Empire's Myriad Year Enigma Formation had spread far and wide across the vast lands of the Divine Continent. It manifested itself in the Capital of Yu, and its defensive power was extremely strong. Although it wasn't as powerful as the Zhurong Burning Heavens Formation of the Devil Sect, it was still one of the few defensive formations in the world, protecting the Grand Xia Empire.
Right now, this array was stubbornly resisting the attacks of the Empress Yan Mingkong.
Chen Luoyang looked carefully and saw that in the center of the tortoise shell array, there seemed to be a figure faintly discernible.
With him and the array working together, the array was temporarily as stable as Mount Tai, blocking the Empress outside.
Under the radiance of the array, the figure's appearance flickered, making it hard to see clearly.
The dark light in Chen Luoyang's eyes turned dark gold.
His gaze pierced through the array and landed on the person who was controlling the array.
This time, he saw the person's appearance clearly. It was Emperor Xia, Li Yuanlong himself.
Emperor Xia also felt Chen Luoyang's gaze. He turned his head slightly and looked him in the eye.
Under the flat crown, the pair of quiet eyes seemed to be as ethereal as the void, not revealing any emotions.
Chen Luoyang also looked at the place in Silence.
At this moment, a figure appeared beside Emperor Xia, Li Yuanlong.
It was a young man dressed in the Xia Dynasty's palace guard uniform. He was tall and had an ordinary appearance. He was about 30 years old, and his face was expressionless.
He came in front of Li Yuanlong and knelt on one knee, "Your Majesty, please take care of your body. Please let me hold on for a while."
"Chen Luoyang is already here. I'm afraid he won't be able to rest for long. Why don't you stay here with me?" Li Yuanlong said.
The guard replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Then, he stood up and took over the burden of the Ten-Thousand-Year Enigmatic Spiritual Array from Li Yuanlong.
Li Yuanlong did not leave either. He just stood at the side and quietly adjusted his breathing.
"Hongqing, it's been hard on you," Li Yuanlong sighed, "Great Xia's thousands of miles of land is now on our shoulders."
The young guard called Ban Hongqing said, "I'll do it even if I have to die."
"Hongqing, you're too kind. We'll work together to protect this land. It's not just the two of us. They're all with us, just behind us. We'll hold up the sky for Great Xia together. We won't let the South Barbarians and the North Militants get involved and kill people," Li Yuanlong said.
Ban Hongqing, who was beside him, focused his gaze, "Your Majesty, you're right …"
In his mind, names and faces appeared one after another.
Everyone seemed to be patting his shoulder and passing an invisible force to him.
Around him were young and naive, but full of vigor and fighting spirit.
The tall and burly man seemed to have turned into a young man at this moment.
He looked like himself more than ten years ago.
A group of young men stood together and worked hard for the same goal.
There were fewer and fewer people.
Everyone knew that those who disappeared could never come back.
However, they did not panic or become dispirited. Instead, they became even more motivated.
The hopes and dreams of those who failed would continue to be carried by them and become their motivation to move forward.
They had to work hard together with their companions.
They had to protect Great Xia, protect the people, and protect His Majesty.
There would definitely be hardships and dangers, pain and sacrifice.
However, for the bright future, everything was worth it!
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people.
In the end, only Ban Hongqing was left.
Finally, he succeeded!
His former companions were no longer by his side.
However, they did not disappear.
Their beliefs and dreams were all on him.
For them, he would never lose!
The time for His Majesty to conquer the world and for Great Xia to conquer the world would definitely come!
The figures of the young men all disappeared.
Only the tall and burly man was left standing there. He was like a pillar supporting the Million Year Enigmatic Array, blocking the night sky outside of Yu Capital.
Li Yuanlong's eyes behind the bead curtain of the Imperial Crown flashed with a hint of deep worry.
He looked into the distance.
Those who should come and those who shouldn't, were all here.
Other than the Empress, who was currently struggling with the Ten-Thousand-Year Mysterious Spirit Array, and the Crimson Dragon Imperial Carriage that had just arrived, in another direction, on top of a mountain far away from the Capital of Yu, stood a gigantic eagle.
The person on top of the eagle's head was holding a wine pot and pouring wine into his mouth.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp." After a long while, he put down the wine pot and touched his mouth. He looked at the Crimson Dragon Imperial Carriage that appeared in the sky.
The burning auspicious clouds dyed the sky red.
Within the auspicious clouds, a dragon's roar could be heard.
The dragon's roar was filled with restlessness and resistance.
The closer they got to Yu Capital, the more it was so.
On top of the city, Emperor Xia Li Yuanlong's face was expressionless.
The Great Xia Dynasty had gone through untold hardships to obtain that Flame Dragon.
However, it was just a baby dragon back then.
With a human feeding it, the baby dragon grew very slowly and would die prematurely.
The Xia Dynasty spent a lot of effort to protect the baby dragon. However, waiting for it to reach adulthood was too much of a waste of time.
Emperor Xia Li Yuanlong thought of many ways and finally found another way. He tried to use the power of the Netherworld Sea Sacrifice to turn extreme cold into extreme heat to nurture the Fire Dragon. He finally succeeded.
In the past ten years, the Fire Dragon grew rapidly and was about to reach adulthood.
This dragon's combat ability was equivalent to a human expert of the 13th level.
To increase his chances of success, Li Yuanlong left Ban Hongqing to guard Yu Capital and secretly brought the Fire Dragon to the south.
However, the Demon Emperor's strength had far exceeded his expectations during the battle of Nan Yun Mountain.
Not only was the Fire Dragon not affected by the Sword King's injuries, it was even stronger than before.
It was a completely strange contrast that caused the Central Plains to suffer a great loss.
On the other hand, the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Li Yuanlong, had also lost the Flame Dragon and was severely injured by the Demon Emperor.
Now, the Fire Dragon was subdued and became the Demon Emperor's mount to return to Yu Capital!
No matter how calm Emperor Xia Li Yuanlong was, he was infuriated and had the urge to vomit blood.
