In front of the palace.
True Lord Xuanyuan was there with Han Zhao Shiyong.
Not long after.
A young man, dressed in a golden-white feathered robe and exuding the aura of Nascent Soul Demon Lord, with a pair of Glazed Glass golden eyes, walked out of the hall, holding a scroll of jade in his hands.
"Fellow Daoist Feiguang..."
True Lord Xuanyuan recognized this person.
Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal's number one spirit beast, which recently advanced and broke through to the Nascent Soul, is extremely fast and can freely break through the void to escape. Human Nascent Soul at the same Nascent Soul stage are basically no match for it.
Feiguang handed the scroll of jade to True Lord Xuanyuan, revealing a sinister smile that was somewhat ferocious. He said, "This is my master's decree. Send a disciple to deliver it to the old dragon's desk in the Black River Water Manor."
True Lord Xuanyuan was momentarily stunned.
He moved his lips, as if to ask, "May I... open it and take a look?"
Feiguang wore a half-smile and simply said, "Now that the decree has been issued, please proceed, fellow Daoist."
Xuanyuan held the scroll of jade in his hands and carefully unfolded it.
On the jade scroll, the characters were written in strong, elegant strokes, with sharp, forceful lines—a single character.
[roll].
When True Lord Xuanyuan finished reading it, his hand trembled slightly.
Han Zhao and Zhao Shiyong, who were behind him, also came over to take a look, and their expressions immediately became quite interesting.
Han Zhao gasped, Zhao Shiyong stared in disbelief, his mouth agape as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
True Lord Xuanyuan's expression shifted several times before he finally raised his head, looked at Feiguang, and asked incredulously, "Fellow Daoist, what... does 'Sword Immortal' mean?"
Feiguang simply smiled, left those words behind, and turned to return to the hall.
"Just find a messenger and deliver it to that water palace."
The three, including True Lord Xuanyuan, were left bewildered in the wind.
a long time.
Zhao Shiyong then managed to speak with difficulty, saying, "Sect Master... this..."
True Lord Xuanyuan took a deep breath, gripped the jade scroll in his hand, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
He really wanted to say that this was no child's play.
But then he thought of the Divine Ability of this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, and that the Profound Firmament Sect was now relying on the Vast Waves Alliance to which he belonged for survival, so he had no choice but to suppress all his emotions and put the scroll of decree away.
"Walk!"
The three returned to the Profound Firmament Sect without uttering a word.
After a long silence.
Zhao Shiyong stepped forward and said, "Sect Master, please give me the decree; I will deliver it to the Water Palace."
True Lord Xuanyuan did not agree immediately.
He was also feeling uneasy.
That Black Flood Dragon originally possessed the strength and power of Nascent Soul Middle Stage. In recent years, with the changing situation in the seas, it had also established connections with the Flood Dragon Clan overseas. Although it hadn't caused much trouble, its strength was indeed not to be underestimated.
The Profound Firmament Sect has suffered a great loss of strength, with the Martial True Lord Wuling, Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, having perished. They can no longer afford to offend this Black Flood Dragon.
However, this does not mean that Xuanyuan does not want to deal with the Water Mansion.
But what if... what if this sword immortal was just saying it for show?
Han Zhao replied, "Sect Master, regardless of what excuse this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal may have, my family has no choice but to send him off."
These words were like a sharp blade, piercing through the hearts of all three of them.
yes!
Now that his Profound Firmament Sect has joined the Vast Waves Alliance, and this Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal is a pillar of strength within the Vast Waves Alliance... Regardless of the outcome, this imperial decree must be delivered.
Otherwise, the situation of his Profound Firmament Sect would probably be even worse than offending the Black River Water Manor.
True Lord Xuanyuan gritted his teeth, and finally stamped his foot, saying, " Shiyong, quickly send this item to the Black River Water Manor!"
Zhao Shiyong accepted the decree, bowed to True Lord Xuanyuan, and then turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.
But the weight on Xuanyuan's heart didn't lift; instead, it hung even higher.
He stood in front of the main hall of the Profound Firmament Sect, gazing in the direction where Zhao Shiyong had disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.
Han Zhao knew that his sect leader was worried.
But circumstances are beyond our control.
The Profound Firmament Sect is now subservient to others. Unless Chen Shuangbai issues a decree to destroy the Profound Firmament Sect, they have no choice but to obey unconditionally.
One day later.
True Lord Xuanyuan was pacing anxiously back and forth in front of the hall.
Suddenly, the earth trembled.
He took a step forward, breaking through the void, and arrived at the top of the mountain gate. He activated his Dharma Eye and looked towards the southwest towards the Black River Water Manor.
First, the earth trembled, followed by the mournful cry of a ferocious beast.
Then it appeared in the southwestern sky.
First came a vast expanse of dark clouds, followed by a torrential downpour and a bloody storm, accompanied by countless flashes of Yin Lightning. Within these flashes, a ferocious creature seemed to writhe, but soon—
A golden-white ray of light shot into the sky, smashing through the overlapping dark clouds and soaring straight into the heavens. It resonated with a fierce red cross-shaped comet in the sky, disrupting the spiritual energy for thousands of miles. The two converged and struck the hideous monster churning in the clouds!
"This... this is..."
True Lord Xuanyuan stared wide-eyed, unable to close his mouth for a long time.
Such a dramatic change in celestial phenomena naturally could not be hidden from the cultivators of the entire Zhao Kingdom.
In an instant.
Countless streaks of light sped off in the southwest, those that were closer moving faster... The central part of the Black River, which ran through the heart of the Zhao Kingdom, had abruptly stopped flowing, and the Crystal Palace hidden within it had collapsed to the bottom of the river, turning into ashes.
Amidst the ashes, a golden-white radiance shot into the sky.
Those who weren't afraid of death looked over and saw that within this radiant light was a decree with only one word written on it!
An extremely arrogant "Get lost!"
The Sword Intent, formed from the radiant golden light that reached the heavens and the earth, soared into the sky and merged with the crimson starlight continuously falling from the crimson cross comet hanging high in the sky, nailing a ferocious, black-scaled, venomous, black-tailed dragon to the firmament.
Snap!
Pat pat pat!
Dragon blood cascaded down like a waterfall, but the fierce winds and torrential rains scattered it, leaving it in the river and on both banks, nourishing all living things on both sides.
The cultivators were almost completely terrified.
As they gazed at the towering golden light that seemed to reach the heavens, at the mangled body of the Black Flood Dragon nailed to the sky, and at the dragon blood cascading down like a waterfall, they felt their scalps tingle, their legs go weak, and even their breathing became difficult.
That's the master of the Black River Water Manor!
A demon lord at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
A hegemon who dominated the southwest of the Zhao Kingdom for over a thousand years!
He just... died like that?
Zhao Shiyong, who delivered the decree to this place, stood on the cliff, raised his head, and let the wind and rain lash his face, but he did not flinch at all. He just stared blankly at the nailed dragon corpse in the sky!
When he delivered the decree to the Water Palace, the Water Palace Master, sitting in the superior position, mocked him mercilessly. He casually flipped open the decree, and upon seeing the large character "[Get Lost]" inside, he immediately flew into a rage, wanting to devour Zhao Shiyong whole.
But in that very instant...
From that ordinary scroll of imperial edict, two points of light, one golden-white and one red-black, burst forth.
Under the illumination of these two points of light, the Water Palace Lord's Black Flood Dragon had almost no power to resist. As soon as it revealed its true form, it was nailed to the sky by the two Sword Intent that appeared.
The whole process took only a few breaths.
Imperial decree!
It was merely a decree!
Zhao Shiyong felt his mind was in complete disarray, as if all the experiences of the first half of his life were gradually dissipating at this moment.
A dignified dragon at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage was killed by a mere imperial decree!
Such immense supernatural Divine Ability... truly inspires despair!
