Thinking of this, everyone was somewhat disappointed. The Four Divine Beasts Clan was now facing a life-or-death crisis. If a powerful expert at the level of a clan lord could join them, it would undoubtedly be a great thing.
"I think it would be better to do this," Elder Bru, the third-ranking member of the Azure Dragon Clan, spoke up, " The Bloodflame Prefecture isn't far from the Skyrite Mountains. I'll go there myself. If this person is of Azure Dragon Bloodline, I'll definitely sense something."
Gaiseresen's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. We can't confirm the other person's identity through the Floating Shadow, but it would be much easier to confirm it face-to-face."
The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief said, "What my elder brother and Blu said is true; it's most appropriate for Blu to handle this matter. However, we must also be wary of the Eight Great Clans. If they get the information, both Blu and this person might be in danger..."
"Second Sister is right," the Black Tortoise Clan Chief agreed. "I believe the Eight Great Clans have also seen this Floating Shadow. Perhaps they have already set off for Bloodflame Prefecture, so we must act quickly."
"Or let me go. In terms of speed, who can beat me?" The White Tiger Clan Chief suddenly stood up and said loudly.
Gaiseresen glared at him. "If I send you, can you even verify the other person's identity?"
The White Tiger Clan Chief let out a soft "uh." Although he was familiar with the Azure Dragon Bloodline Azure Dragon Bloodline, he did not feel any connection to it.
"How about this?" The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief, the second-in-command among the Four Divine Beasts Clan, calmly said, "Let Fourth Brother and Blu go together this time. Firstly, to show our sincerity, and secondly, to avoid being ambushed by the Eight Great Clans."
After thinking for a moment, the group decided that this was the safest approach. Even if the other party wasn't a member of one of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, with the strength of the White Tiger Clan Chief and Blu, the Eight Great Clans would have no chance of stopping them unless they mobilized five or six of their chiefs.
"Those damned vermin... If they dare to make a move, I will not let them get away with it!" The White Tiger is bloodthirsty, and among the Four Divine Beasts Clan, he is the most murderous. If it weren't for Gaiseresen stopping him, he would have already left the Skyrite Mountains to fight the Eight Great Clans.
Three days later, a Metallic Lifeform flew out of the Skyrite Mountains and headed west. This Metallic Lifeform was extremely fast and soon left the Skyrite Mountains.
In a certain place in the western part of Indigo Prefecture, a handsome young man with a green panel emerged from the ground.
"Such speed! There must be a super-strong member of the Four Divine Beasts Clan on this Metallic Lifeform. They're heading west... No, I have to report this to my clan immediately."
This young man is a member of the Edric Clan from the Life Supreme Plane. Due to Beirut's intimidation, the Eight Great Clans dared not set foot in the Skyrite Mountains, so they had to surround the Four Divine Beasts Clan from the outside. The western part is the area under the jurisdiction of the Edric Clan.
Soon, the Eight Great Clans received the news. The patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans were all cunning old foxes who had lived for countless years; how could they not understand the intentions of the Four Divine Beasts Clan?
"I told you long ago that the new lord of Bloodflame Prefecture is a disciple of one of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, but you didn't believe me. Well, do you believe me now?" Upon receiving the message, the patriarchs of the Eight Great Clans immediately convened a meeting to discuss Andrew's matter, when a sharp voice rang out.
The message was relayed by a disciple of the Edric Clan, so Edric was naturally the first to know. His handsome face showed some seriousness. "Don't jump to conclusions," Edric said gently. "Even if the Four Divine Beasts Clan send people to Bloodflame Prefecture, we cannot be certain that the Bloodflame Prefecture Master is a member of one of the Four Divine Beasts Clan. We can only say that it's a possibility."
The patriarch of the Ashcroft Clan from the Netherworld, Nether Serpent, sneered, "I think that's quite possible. There are many races in countless planes capable of Dragonform, but only the Azure Dragon Clan can reach this level of strength!"
"That's right!" The words of the Nether Serpent were echoed by the other clan leaders.
Edric finally nodded. "In that case, let's get moving. If the Bloodflame Prefecture Master is a disciple of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, he will definitely return to the Skyrite Mountains. I suggest that this time we don't need to take the initiative to attack; we can simply guard the area outside the Skyrite Mountains."
Reynalds, the local strongman of the Infernal Realm, agreed, "I agree. Although we don't know which powerful figures the Four Divine Beasts have sent, a rash attack is too risky. It's better to hold the Heavenly Skyrite Mountains and wait for them to tire themselves out. Currently, the area west of the Skyrite Mountains is controlled by the Edric Clan, the Wenner Clan, the Deen Clan, and our Reynalds Clan. With us here, the Four Divine Beasts Clan won't be able to get through easily!"
The patriarch of the Bolin Clan from the Celestial Realm pondered for a moment, then added, " Reynalds is right. However, just in case, our Bolin Clan and the Barbary Clan will also temporarily reinforce the western region. Regardless of whether the Bloodflame Prefecture Lord comes or not, we can take this opportunity to detain the people sent by the Four Divine Beasts Clan!"
All eight clan leaders harbored deep resentment towards the Four Divine Beasts Clan and immediately agreed to the plan.
In Bloodflame City, Andrew delegated tasks to his subordinates, while he and his family resided in the massive lord's castle. Aside from Bernistan, Andrew had no worries.
Bernistan was indeed persistent; every now and then, he would come and urge Andrew. Andrew couldn't bear to scold him, so in the end, he could only assign him a task and send him out.
The position of the Lord of the Bloodflame Prefecture is extremely high. As the Lord of the Bloodflame Prefecture Andrew, everything in the Bloodflame Prefecture belongs to him, including the Prefecture Army and the Bloodflame Prefecture income. The Lord of the Bloodflame Prefecture owns many properties, including the income from the city gates, the trading castles in each city, taxes, hotels, and so on. Andrew calculated that he receives trillions of Inkstone every year just from these incomes.
Thinking of this, Andrew was very satisfied. For many palace lords, Inkstone were of little use, but it was different for him. Relying on Soul Stone, Andrew could extract the Sovereign’s Might from Inkstone. To him, Inkstone were the Sovereign’s Might.
"If I have enough Inkstone, I can give each of my father and the others a drop of the Sovereign’s Might, so that they will have the strength to protect themselves if they encounter danger in the future..." Andrew always had a sense of crisis; he did not want to experience the pain of losing loved ones that Linley had gone through.
" The Planar War has already begun. After the matter of the Eight Great Clans is settled, I will go to the Planar Battlefield... The Planar War happens once every trillion years. It would be a great pity to miss it!" Andrew, whose life was becoming more peaceful, had an unquenchable longing for battle. The thought of countless top experts from different dimensions gathering together to fight made Andrew excited!
Planar War are a true feast for the strong! Andrew must participate in this grand event no matter what.
The peaceful days passed quickly, and two months went by in the blink of an eye.
Over the course of two months, the Lance Clan had largely adapted to life in Bloodflame City. As the family of the Bloodflame Prefecture's lord, the Lance Clan held a very high position in Bloodflame City. However, they didn't experience any discomfort, after all, in the Yulan Continent, the Lance Clan was at the very top of the pyramid.
Howard and Janice went into seclusion to refine their Highgod Divine Spark, while Han Yue took some of the younger generation to explore Bloodflame City. They were dazzled by the various goods at the Fiend Castle and other trading markets... Herbert and Deenmike began their intensive training. Herbert was only one step away from becoming Midgod, Deenmike had recently broken through, but he wasn't satisfied yet. Among the younger generation of the Lance Clan, these two had the greatest potential and were the most diligent in their cultivation.
Behind the castle, in a pavilion, Andrew squinted, quietly feeling the gentle breeze on his face. Before him lay a lake as smooth as a mirror.
"Lord of the Manor!" A voice interrupted Andrew's thoughts.
Andrew opened his eyes. " Kang'en, what's wrong?"
Kang'en is one of the five Commander of the Bloodflame Prefecture 'Prefecture Army, possessing the strength of Seven-Star Fiend. He is tall and thin with sharp eyes, and carries a two-meter-long gray spear on his back. In terms of strength, he ranks third among the Commander Prefecture Army. In terms of seniority, however, he is the least senior of the five Commander. After Andrew became the prefect, he transferred Kang En from the Prefecture Army to serve as his assistant.
Kang'en greatly admired Andrew. He had initially joined the Prefecture Army hoping to one day challenge Digelunsi. However, after witnessing the battle between Andrew Digelunsi, Kang'en's desire to challenge them completely vanished.
"My lord, a powerful figure calling himself Pusluo has come to visit. I sense that his intentions are not good..." Kang'en said cautiously.
Pusluo?
Andrew stood up, overjoyed.
"He's here? Good!"
"My lord!" Before Kang'en could say anything more, Andrew had already disappeared.
"Who is this Pusluo? Why is the Lord of the Prefecture so pleased?" Kang'en was quite surprised. He had sensed Pusluo's aura before and knew that the other party was an extraordinary powerhouse.
"Anyone who associates with the Lord of the Manor must be a powerful figure," Kang'en muttered to himself before turning and leaving.
