The Baffled Iron Lion King

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two streaks of Escape Light, one gold and one red, shot out from the city ruins and fled northward.

The Mad Lion Crown Prince had already cursed the Lord of Zhou Ping, Yuanlong a hundred times in his heart. This is what you reported? The Yang Household's strongest member is only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage?

How do you explain that Tier Fifth-Tier War Flying Vessels?

Boom!!

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi gathered wildly, and the area within a hundred miles of the Flagship seemed to turn into a swamp, with terrifying binding forces coming from all directions.

Both the Mad Lion Crown Prince and the Previous Lord changed their expressions and their speed decreased sharply.

Before they could even speak, two dazzling golden arrows pierced through their chests.

Pfft! Pfft!

Blood splattered Previous Lord, Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, perished on the spot, his Nascent Soul dissipating.

The Mad Lion Crown Prince was unharmed, not because he was strong enough, but because his life-saving measures were activated.

As the most outstanding son of the Iron Lion King, he would naturally receive ample preferential treatment.

After breaking through to the Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation, the Iron Lion King went to great lengths to create a life-saving trump card for the Mad Lion Crown Prince.

This trump card is hidden deep within its bloodline, and it will only be effective when the Mad Lion Crown Prince encounters an insurmountable and fatal danger.

Roar!!

The fierce roar of the lion created layers of sound waves that spread throughout the heavens and earth.

A ferocious, Blue-Nosed Iron-Horned Lion phantom appeared behind the Mad Lion Crown Prince; judging from its appearance, it was none other than the Iron Lion King.

The golden arrow that had previously possessed power reaching the level of Spirit Transformation was directly swallowed by the phantom of the Iron Lion King.

"Iron Lion King!" Yang Yusheng narrowed his eyes, but showed no fear whatsoever.

It's just a phantom; even if it reaches the Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation realm, it won't exist for long and won't pose much of a threat.

"Heavenly Lion Swallowing Spirit Art!"

The earth-shattering roar of the lion resounded once more. The Iron Lion King opened its mouth, and a massive vortex appeared, swallowing Spiritual Qi, dust, rocks, air, and even light.

In an instant, the once clear blue sky was plunged into darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face, and even sound was taken away.

This was a full-force attack completely comparable to that of Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The overwhelming devouring power formed invisible Chains, pulling the Purple Moon Army Fleet towards the devouring vortex.

If it were to actually swallow the entire fleet, the entire Fleet would be destroyed.

Yang Yusheng raised his right hand slightly and shouted in a low voice, "Xuanwu Suppressing Sea Formation!"

"Yes!"

Inside the Flagship, sound remains unaffected and can still propagate freely.

After the soldiers of the Purple Moon Army sang in unison, they used the power of the Flagship's Formation to form the Xuanwu Suppressing Sea Formation.

The Xuanming Qi surged in from all directions, and the Xuanwu phantom, with its majestic and sacred appearance, stood in front of the Fleet, Tortoise and Serpent Coiling.

Its four hooves, like Pillar Supporting the Heavens, directly suppressed the originally turbulent space. No matter how hard the illusory Iron Lion King tried, it could not shake the defense of the Xuanwu Suppressing Sea Formation.

This is, after all, Defense System composed of an entire Fleet, 15,000 cultivators, and 1,200 Purple Moon Army. Although the Heavenly Lion Swallowing Spirit Art of the Middle Stage of Spirit Transformation Soul Realm is powerful, it cannot swallow the entire thing in one gulp. Even if the Iron Lion King himself came, it would be unlikely.

After a long while, the light reappeared, and the phantom of the Iron Lion King let out a resentful roar before vanishing into nothingness.

"Unfortunately, the Mad Lion Crown Prince took the opportunity to escape!" Yang Xuanli said with some resentment.

"It's alright. Our mission isn't to kill the Mad Lion Crown Prince, but to conquer cities and seize territory. Let's take over Zhou Ping Kingdom first. I imagine the Mad Lion Crown Prince won't dare to stay within the Zhou Ping Kingdom's borders any longer," Yang Xuangang said calmly, his tone steady and his figure as immovable as a mountain.

"Uncle Xuan Gang is right, everything must prioritize the Lineage mission!" Yang Yusheng's expression was serious, and then he ordered, "All troops, advance! Target: Zhou Ping City!"

At Luochuan Pass, the Iron Lion King, who was directing the Demon Race's attack on the city, suddenly had a fluctuating aura, attracting the attention of many Foreign Races.

"Fifth-Tier War Flying Vessels? How is that possible!" Iron Lion King was stunned, his tone filled with disbelief.

"The Yang Household has Nascent Soul Late Stage expert guarding Fifth Tier Flying Boat?" It couldn't understand.

The intelligence clearly indicated that the strongest member of the Yang Household was only at the Golden Core Great Perfection, and even if he broke through, he would only be at the Nascent Soul Early Stage. He was not qualified to guard Fifth-Tier War Flying Vessels.

Unless you have several Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators, or a dozen Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators.

But that doesn't make sense either. Where did the Yang Household get so many Nascent Soul Cultivators?

"Could it be that the Eight Desolations Arena is helping them?" Iron Lion King was suddenly startled, and a certain possibility came to mind.

The more it thought about it, the more it felt that this was the reason; otherwise, how could the Yang Household have expanded its power to this extent in just sixty years?

Thinking of this, the Iron Lion King sent messages to the Azure Flame Spirit Lion Clan and the Origin Elephant Clan behind him, asking them to uphold justice.

If cultivators from the Eight Desolations Arena were to get involved, the former two could directly attack the Yang Household, while Human Race forces such as the Mountain and River Hall would be unable to intervene.

This is what happens when you break the rules.

But... has the Yang Household really broken the rules and requested support from the Eight Desolations Arena?

Of course not.

Even the Water-Fire Dao Soldiers were rented by myself using Spirit Stones, and the price was reasonable. There was no problem with Heavenly Dao Oath.

Therefore, everything Iron Lion King did was in vain; he just hadn't realized the problem yet.

It wasn't that the Yang Household had requested support from the Eight Desolations Arena; rather, the Yang Household's own strength had unknowingly swelled to a terrifying degree.
