Chapter 582
Regardless of what Xiao Chen’s emperor’s aura was, his true identity caused many people to lose their appetite and couldn’t sleep.
The entire Fire Spirit City was in an uproar. Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants from the various clans and clans all received a secret order from the royal palace. Over ten supreme experts rushed out from their respective clans and clans, rushing towards the royal palace. Their countenances were incomparably solemn, as though a great war was about to break out.
Although the secret order didn’t state what they were rushing to the royal palace for, all the supreme experts knew in their hearts that the royal palace was going to make a move against someone. There was a very high possibility that the royal palace would set up a heaven-defying trap for that person to walk into.
The secret order from the royal palace represented the will of the king. Although these supreme experts belonged to different clans in Fire Spirit City, none of them dared to defy the will of the king. Defying was equivalent to defying the royal decree. Defying the royal decree would result in the death penalty, or even the execution of the entire clan. Hence, all the supreme experts silently rushed to the royal palace.
Ouyang Tiande summoned all the supreme experts of Fire Spirit City to the royal palace. This was akin to playing with fire. If the four aristocratic clans secretly colluded and bribed all the supreme experts, initiating a coup d ‘état against the royal palace, the royal palace would be in grave danger.
Ouyang Tiande was an ambitious and ruthless character, he naturally had already considered all of this. However, he had no choice but to do this because if he wanted to use the strength of the royal palace to destroy Xiao Chen and the Lion King, he would have to pay a heavy price. At that time, the strength of the royal palace would be weakened. If the four aristocratic clans had ulterior motives, the royal palace would be in grave danger.
The Ouyang Clan had their own trump cards. Similarly, the four aristocratic clans definitely had their own trump cards as well. The trump cards of the four aristocratic clans were the same as the Ouyang Clan, they wouldn’t be revealed so easily. Only when their clan was on the brink of extinction would they reveal their trump cards and engage in an ultimate battle.
Ouyang Tiande had already ordered all the civil and military officials to seal off any information regarding Xiao Chen’s identity. If any of the civil and military officials leaked the information, their entire clans would be executed. Right now, only over a hundred people in the entire Fire Spirit City knew that Xiao Chen had the bloodline of the Xiao Clan. The rest were still in the dark.
Two days later, the Speed Eagle set off from the Fire Spirit City and flew for two days straight without rest. After flying for over 100,000 kilometers, it arrived at the royal palaces of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and the Dark North Kingdom respectively. It delivered Ouyang Tiande’s secret letter to the royal palaces of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and the Dark North Kingdom.
Of course, for them to be able to fly for several days at such a fast speed — apart from their incredible endurance, they were also relying on their ability to control the wind. The Speed Eagle’s ability to control the wind was at the pinnacle, and it didn’t take much effort for them to fly for a long time.
Heaven Mystics Kingdom, Mystic Martial City, royal palace …
“Knock, knock, knock!”
An elderly man in his sixties who was wearing a dragon robe was knocking on the pitch-black door of an exquisite black house. He then spoke with a respectful voice, “Gongsun Yelong seeks an audience with the two sirs!”
Gongsun Yelong!
Gongsun Yelong was the king of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, and he was actually so respectful to the people in the black house. The king of a kingdom actually wanted to meet two individuals, not to summon them, but to seek an audience. This matter was too strange and inconceivable.
“Creak!”
The door opened, but he didn’t see anyone opening the door. The interior of the house wasn’t well-lit and was very dark, but Gongsun Yelong didn’t mind. He walked in with large strides and passed through a large hall and two empty rooms. He only stopped when he reached a large room that was completely dark.
Gongsun Yelong was also a high-grade martial artist, and the pitch-black room didn’t affect his vision. He took a glance and saw two individuals seated quietly in the room. Both of them were covered in black robes that had four bloody skulls embroidered on each of their black robes.
Another expert from the Black Magic Pavilion?!
Their attire, especially the bloody skulls embroidered on the black robes, were obviously the signature attire of the Black Magic Pavilion’s experts. Judging from the number of bloody skulls, these two experts from the Black Magic Pavilion had a frighteningly high status.
Blood Snake and Blood Tiger only had three bloody skulls on their black robes, but these two experts from the Black Magic Pavilion had four bloody skulls on their black robes. It was inferred that their status in the Black Magic Pavilion might be even higher than the Black Magic Pavilion’s Third Elder, Blood Snake. It was highly possible that they were the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Black Magic Pavilion.
The Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s royal palace and the Black Magic Pavilion had indeed colluded together. No, it didn’t seem to be as simple as collusion. From the way Gongsun Yelong respectfully addressed the two experts from the Black Magic Pavilion as lords, it was obvious that there was something fishy going on. If they were truly colluding, with Gongsun Yelong’s status, he shouldn’t be addressing the elders of the Black Magic Pavilion as lords. At most, he would address them as friends out of politeness.
When Gongsun Yelong saw the two individuals in front of him, he didn’t wait for them to speak and bowed respectfully. “Yelong pays his respects to the Blood Dragon Grand Elder and the Blood Dragon Second Elder.”
“Your Majesty doesn’t have to be so courteous.”
One of the strange black-robed individuals spoke. His voice was extremely old, and he must be very old. “If you have something to say, just say it. With our Black Magic Pavilion supporting the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, there is nothing to be afraid of in this Wilderness God Continent. Hehe.”
“Yes, Lord Blood Dragon.” Gongsun Yelong smiled obsequiously. Where was the majesty of a monarch?
It made people feel like he was a puppet king. Perhaps, he had already become the puppet king of the Black Magic Pavilion.
Gongsun Yelong took out a small letter and handed it to Blood Dragon. He spoke in a serious tone, “Lord Blood Dragon, Lord Blood Dragon, something big happened in the Qilin Kingdom. No, something big happened in the Wilderness God Continent!
The Xiao Clan’s bloodline has been born! ”
“What?!
The Xiao Clan’s bloodline?! ”
Blood Dragon and Blood Dragon, who had been sitting in the black chairs, were shocked when they heard the news. They stood up abruptly. Blood Dragon took the letter from Gongsun Yelong and quickly skimmed through it. A moment later, he raised his pair of deep blood eyes and looked at the respectful Gongsun Yelong. He said faintly, “I didn’t expect Xiao Zhan to have a son alive in this world.
“I didn’t expect Xiao Zhan to have a son alive in this world. Coincidentally, his son is Xiao Chen. No wonder Xiao Chen is so outstanding at such a young age. The first time he fought with us, he destroyed our sub-pavilion in the Moonview Tribe and killed our Fifth Elder, Xue Bin. I thought he was just a barbarian with a powerful wild beast, but it seems we were wrong.”
“Xiao Chen?
Xiao Zhan’s son? ”
The Great Elder of the Black Magic Pavilion, Blood Dragon, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. His voice was even older than Blood Dragon’s, but it gave people a feeling of vigor.
“It’s been fifteen years, and the Xiao Clan’s bloodline can still appear. It really surprised us. No wonder the Pavilion Master sent a message to us a few days ago, asking us to destroy the Qilin Kingdom’s Ouyang Clan as soon as possible, and then go to the headquarters of the Black Magic Pavilion in the Northern Dark Kingdom to meet up with the Pavilion Master. Together, we will deal with the mysterious force that has only appeared in recent years and is against our Black Magic Pavilion. That mysterious force is probably a group formed by the remnants of the Xiao Clan and some hidden experts on the continent. Hehe!”
“En, Great Elder’s speculation is very reasonable.”
Blood Dragon nodded in agreement. He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, immediately send two Dragon Elephant Realm experts to follow us to the Fire Spirit City of the Qilin Kingdom. As for you, you can stay in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and leave the matter of eliminating Xiao Chen to us. Go.”
