Four Symbols Palace, Three Giants

The summit of the main peak of the Four Symbols Mountain Range.

Majestic Ancient Hall, everyone was already gathered.

With the return of Great Palace Master Commander Lin from the palace, and the return of the elusive Second Palace Master, along with the Third Palace Master Flame Commander, the three giants jointly issued a decree.

The First Closed-Door Meeting of the Four Symbols Palace was convened, summoning all commanders and Demon Commander generals from headquarters. No one dared to disobey.

The twelve Great Demon Commander knelt on both sides, forming the first row.

Behind the twelve Great Demon Commander were hundreds of commander-level powerhouses, sitting upright in six rows on the left and right.

In the deepest part of the main hall, three figures sat An Ran on prayer cushions.

On the left, they were as imposing as an iron tower; in the center, they were ethereal and otherworldly; and on the right, they were as handsome as demons. The auras of the three giants were faintly connected, as unfathomable as a vast and boundless ocean.

The space and energy within the hall shifted with the breaths of the three, giving rise to all sorts of incredible shapes, which then immediately returned to their original state.

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the atmosphere was inexplicably still, with only a faint scent of sandalwood rising and dissipating in the air.

"This is Lin Diao, the Second Palace Master of my Four Symbols Palace and the Young Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe. Today, I officially return to my position."

Then, the handsome young man sitting cross-legged in the center pointed to the person on his right and said...

"We pay our respects to the Second Palace Master! We pay our respects to Commander Diao!"

"We pay our respects to the Second Palace Master! We pay our respects to Commander Diao!"

The unified chanting of prayers created a beautiful scene.

"Only."

The handsome, almost Green-clothed Man nodded slightly, his every gesture exuding the elegance and nobility of an ancient, Overlord Clan.

"I heard that some new faces have come to my Four Symbols Palace. Please come up."

Lin Dong looked around the ancient hall filled with people and felt quite pleased.

"We pay our respects to Commander Lin!"

Soon, three figures with distinct appearances emerged from among the twelve Great Demon Commander, knelt on one knee, and solemnly clasped their hands in greeting.

Lin Dong swept his eyes across the room, a flash of black and silver light passing through his pupils, as if a thousand strange colors burst forth. His dark eyes quietly transformed into a vortex of black and silver that spun continuously, and a faint, eerie ripple slowly spread throughout the hall.

The three people below the stage suddenly stiffened, feeling a chill run through their bodies. It was as if all their secrets were exposed under that gaze, and they instinctively buried their heads even deeper.

"Indeed, I still have quite a few Ancient Divine Object ranked in the top forty on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking. I hope that you Demon Commander can use your merits to exchange them for them from me."

Fortunately, the indifferent and emotionless gaze did not last long, and a soft laugh came from above the three of them.

"Phew, I passed!"

Upon hearing this, the Three Great Demon Commanders breathed a sigh of relief and immediately clasped their hands in a solemn gesture, saying, "Yes, Commander Lin!"

"Dismissed. I have heard that guests from the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan, one of the Eight Royal Clans, have come to visit the palace. Summon them."

Lin Dong stroked an ancient yellow stone tablet in his hand and said calmly.

"Summon the elders of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan to an audience!"

At the entrance of the main hall, a demon Death Mysterious Stage, Major Achievement stepped out, his Origin Energy surging, and his grand declaration echoed repeatedly across the main peak.

"Da da da!"

Before long, the sound of regular footsteps rang out from afar, and three figures, one old and two young, quickly entered the main hall. One Samsara Stage and the other at the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion. They were the three visitors from the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan.

As soon as the three strangers entered the hall, hundreds of sharp gazes immediately turned to them. The three men froze for a moment before returning to normal.

Not everyone can remain An Ran and collected under the watchful eyes of a dozen or so Samsara Stage experts and a hundred Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion experts.

The elderly figure who stepped forward wore a blue robe, his face deeply lined with wrinkles, and his long, white hair was casually draped over his shoulders. His tall figure exuded an imposing presence as he walked.

The further he walked into the hall, the more terrified he became.

The Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe, the Nine Phoenix Clan, the Nine-Lives Sky Cat Tribe, the Blood Vulture Clan, and the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan —six of the Four Overlord Clans and Eight Royal Clans have gathered here, demonstrating their deep entanglement with many of the top forces in the Demon Domain.

The number of experts at the Samsara Stage, which existed just a few months ago, seems to have increased to fifteen overnight. With such a formidable lineup, the Patriarch's plans are likely to fall through, and it's uncertain who will devour whom.

Furthermore, the Three Giants of the Four Symbols Palace could have summoned him privately, so why did they reveal the full power of the Four Symbols Palace and meet him so formally?

Were the Three Giants already aware of their plans? Were they using this method to subtly warn him? Or were they trying to give him a warning?

At this moment, Elder Heavenly Demon Tiger was in a state of utter confusion.

"Elder Fei Yu of the Heavenly Demonic Tiger Clan greets the three Palace Masters."

He led two commanders from his clan who had reached the Death Mysterious Stage, Perfected Completion, and carefully stood down below the platform, bowing respectfully to them.

"I've heard that the election for the Young Patriarch leader of this generation is about to begin again, and they are inviting outstanding clansmen with the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Tiger to return to the clan to compete throughout the entire Demon Domain?"

On the right, the handsome, almost demonic Green-clothed Man stirred slightly.

"Yes, I left the clan specifically to invite Flame Commander Yan. I wonder what the three Palace Masters think?"

Unsure of the intentions of the Three Giants of the Four Symbols Palace, Fei Yu cautiously probed.

"Of course we want to go. How could our Four Symbols Palace be absent from such a grand event? We will have to trouble Elder Feiyu to lead the way for us."

The Young Patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe spoke leisurely, his eerie face revealing no trace of joy or anger.

"This..."

Fei Yu subconsciously looked at the person in the middle of the Three Giants.

I've heard that everything in the Four Symbols Palace is under the control of the Great Palace Master, Commander Lin, who is undoubtedly the leader among the Three Giants.

"My second brother's meaning is my meaning."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, put away the palm-sized Great Desolation Stele in his hand, and turned his gaze to the twelve Demon Commander in the hall. He began to call out names, "Sky Cat Demon Commander, Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander, Luo Tong Demon Commander, tomorrow you will accompany the three of us to the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan."

"Yes, Commander Lin!"

The Three Great Demon Commanders who were called upon immediately stepped forward and solemnly accepted the order.

"Damn it, six experts at the Samsara Stage, and not just any ordinary Samsara Stage! Is the Four Symbols Palace planning to wreak havoc on my Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan? Patriarch Chief, are you inviting wolves into the house?!"

Seeing Fei Yu's eyelids twitching, she had already made up her mind that she must urgently Primordial Spirit Transmission to the clan tonight so that the clan could make preparations as soon as possible.

"Let's call it a day. We'll set off first thing tomorrow morning."

The space rippled slightly, and the Three Giants who had been sitting on the jade platform disappeared completely.

"Respectfully seeing off the three Palace Masters!"

All the powerful figures in the hall rose in unison and knelt down respectfully.

The sheer scale and solemnity of the scene made Fei Yu and his companions' eyelids twitch; it was truly not a blessing for the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan!

The next day.

Led by Fei Yu and others, the Three Giants leaders of the Four Symbols Palace led their Three Great Demon Commanders straight towards the Heavenly Demon Tiger Clan.

P. S.: Based on the information provided by the Great God Cabbage in the original work, let's estimate the number of Samsara Stage experts in the Heavenly Demon Marten Tribe.

In the original story, when Lin Dong was fighting for the Profound Heaven Hall, he was besieged by Three Great Demon Commanders. Little Marten brought three Samsara Stage to his aid, making a total of four.

Hao Jiuyou, along with two elders at the Samsara Stage who had pledged allegiance to him, made a total of three.

In front of the Ancestral Temple, a dozen or so Elder Council, including the Great Elder Zhu Li, appeared, making a total of twelve.

Besides the Elder Council, there must be other Samsara Stage on both Little Marten's and Hao Jiuyou's sides who refuse to side with either. Not everyone can join the Elder Council, so five wild Samsara Stage cultivators isn't too many, right? Five.

There are five top-tier rotating wheels guarding the Heavenly Cave.

There are a total of twenty-nine in the outer Samsara Stage.

There must be several elders in the Samsara Stage who are unable to return to their clans or are on missions elsewhere.

There are at least a dozen old monsters in the Heavenly Cave who have been in seclusion for over a hundred years and rarely come out.

If you count them bit by bit, there are at least forty.

This is just what Potato mentioned; what about the ones he didn't mention?

Therefore, I think it's quite normal for each of the Four Great Overlord Clans to have around forty Samsara Stage.
