" Lord Chen, what should we do?"
Among the chaotic forces, there is another force that cannot be ignored: the South Sea forces. As the force with the most Dragon Transformation sorcerers, it now seems to have become a marginal player.
When asked, Chen Baifeng rolled his eyes.
What else do you want to do? At this point, it's best to do nothing and avoid attracting attention. Judging from the looks on these old guys' faces, do they still want to interfere?
Suddenly, Chen Baifeng felt that the aristocratic families were truly suffering from a decline in talent. He thought back to the old days, how many of the elders a generation above him were shrewd and calculating? This generation, apart from their age, hadn't improved at all. Didn't they even know their own limitations, yet they dared to interfere?
If you can just casually take it without anyone noticing, you're lucky your ancestors were blessed.
After this ordeal, Chen Baifeng finally understood why even with such a profound foundation, the sorcerer family couldn't defeat the bloodline martial artist who had only recently appeared and remained undefeated for a thousand years.
Most spells are passed down through written language, and many are in classical Chinese, requiring a high level of literary knowledge to decipher. Ultimately, those who monopolize the profession of sorcerer are a group of scholars. The saying "a scholar's rebellion will never succeed in ten years" is sometimes quite true.
To put it simply, without soldiers, what's the point of talking?
Back then, it was because those warriors mingled with the army that they gained the upper hand. I still haven't grasped such a simple principle. After receiving the inheritance from the South Sea, instead of thinking about quickly building my own army, I chose to win over the powerful families. This was truly a terrible move.
Scholarly families, having acquired resources, preferred to keep them hidden and never wavered in their contempt for warriors. As a result, the resources that Dragon Transformation were never used to cultivate warriors loyal to the families, which was clearly short-sighted.
At the time, I didn't think it through. I thought it wouldn't matter if we didn't have an army. We were already dragons, and as long as we were recognized by the dragons, all the aquatic creatures would naturally obey our orders, and we wouldn't lack soldiers. Now it seems I was overthinking it.
In terms of combat strength, their group is far inferior to Chen Qing's earlier group. As for their own power, it goes without saying that they are the only ones among the major powers whose South Sea has been raided.
After this incident, he lost his ambition to continue ruling a region. For warlock families, it was better to rely on a certain power. As for which power to rely on, we'll see from the outcome of this incident.
The conditions for the Cloud Capital Ancient Demon Clan were actually quite good, but he really couldn't stand the requirement of Symbiosis with insects.
As for the Northern Lands, although he hasn't won them over yet, he estimates that if he were willing to submit, they probably wouldn't refuse. However, his status would definitely not be too high. He also knows some information about the Reincarnator Guild. The background of that group is too exaggerated. They can be said to be the creators of suffering in this world. In their eyes, humans are no different from chickens, ducks, and livestock in the eyes of ordinary people. He really has little interest in such a status.
That leaves Chen Qing and His Majesty. To be honest, he prefers Chen Qing.
Judging from the current situation, the emperor is a shrewd and powerful figure, while Chen Qing seems a bit impulsive. For example, this time, he could have retreated, but he risked his life for the sake of the West Sea Army. As a leader, such a risky move is obviously inappropriate.
But it is precisely this impulse that makes people feel comfortable. People are complex. Rationally speaking, ruthless and ambitious people are more likely to succeed, but who wouldn't want their boss to be more compassionate?
But this is Chen Qing's current situation.
Chen Baifeng looked at the core depths with some worry. Now that the West Sea Army was also under the control of the mysterious person, and Chen Qing's fate was unknown, he feared that after today, the vibrant Jiangnan would be taken over by someone else.
Just then, the elements around the Four Saints Palace suddenly surged, and an incredibly powerful force pierced through the void, making the entire space where the palace was located seem to be crushed. This terrifying scene immediately brought Chen Baifeng back to his senses, and he and the others around him looked up in horror.
Yes, terror. It was an incredibly terrifying pressure, like a worm on the ground suddenly being targeted by a monster that could destroy all its understanding of the world!
He was being watched too; in fact, they were all being watched.
Outside the Four Saints Palace, in the void, four enormous shadows watched this place. Everyone was just a speck of dust in the eyes of those four figures, but for such beings to notice such a speck of dust was truly terrifying.
Even though he knew that the four shadows were just a thought, and even though he knew that the Four Saints had been dead for countless years.
But he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, a fear stemming from the vast difference in power. Not only him, but everyone present felt the same way, including the emperor who had always wanted to overthrow the demons.
"Is this the end of the road for demons at such a height?" the emperor murmured, gazing at the sky.
His voice was trembling uncontrollably, and his hands, clasped behind his back, were shaking uncontrollably.
"No." King Xiang's voice was also extremely heavy. "I have never had the honor of seeing beings of such height, but I know this is not the end. If it were the end, they would not die."
"Indeed." The emperor forced a smile, but his eyes immediately hardened with even greater determination.
The path for humanity is longer than ascending to heaven. If we want to establish ourselves in this world full of demons, if we want to break out of this world and have a place in the void, if we want no more demons from the outside world to dare to ravage this world, then we still have a long way to go.
"Get ready to do it!"
"Good!"
--
"Oh? How intimidating." The woman surrounding the palace in the distance laughed, her trembling hands gripping the sword at her waist with great difficulty. She slowly closed her eyes, took three deep breaths, and then opened them again. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were filled with dazzling golden flames!
"Line up! Charge!"
"Promise!!"
The Ghost Army's voice was deafening, their boundless blood energy soaring into the sky, their fighting spirit so intense that countless enormous snake demons scattered in fear.
The woman glanced at the chaotic snake demons, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
Just as he had guessed, although the Heavenly Python Palace in the Northern Lands had many snake demons, none of them had an effective organization or an army. The Heavenly Python were never social demons. Even if they were cobbled together in large numbers, they were not a force to be reckoned with. In particular, the number of snake demons that could be dispatched was limited, and they were simply unable to stop an army that had formed a military formation.
Those Reincarnator in the Northern Lands wouldn't be using these things as their trump cards, would they?
But without their own army, how could they ultimately contend with us?
Ignoring all that, the woman drew her sword and made a full gesture. Tens of thousands of elite Ghost Army immediately galloped like wild horses. Each one was Transcendent, leaping hundreds of feet at a time, and they all jumped onto the floating palace. Moreover, they displayed extremely high military skills. In less than ten breaths, the tens of thousands of the Ghost Army formed a military formation in the chaotic palace, ready to receive orders at any time.
The woman who jumped up last, following her lieutenant, glanced around and, without hesitation, commanded the army to head south towards the Vermilion Bird Palace.
The four inherited the Four Saints' legacy. Fei Jun, being of the Golden Crow Bloodline of the Xiao Household, is the one most in need of being won over and must not fall into the hands of others!
