Chapter 168 - 168: 167. Riding Your Dragon to See You
The Second Elder of Yan Zhao gave Chen Luoyang a deep look.
Most of the old devil cult elders in the Senior Elder Pavilion used to hold real power, but after the new cult master ascended the throne, they lost their power and were abandoned by the new cult master.
Now that Chen Luoyang had assigned a new task, it seemed like a good thing, but Yan Zhao could tell at a glance that this was actually a trap.
It would not be a problem for him to go to other places.
But to the southernmost part of the Demon Territory, Jiaozhou, and the westernmost part of the Snow Plateau, it was equivalent to exile.
On the plateau, there were either snow mountains or grasslands, but there was no one.
It was inconvenient to transport materials from other places, and it was not easy to mine local resources.
If he wanted to gather a private armed force there, it would be hidden, but the problem was that it was not easy to find people and it was difficult to gather a reliable team.
A large group of martial artists needed a large population base and a large enough selection area to support them.
On the plateau, a casual glance was a thousand miles of uninhabited land, so sparsely populated that it made one’s hair stand on end.
And now, there was a sudden appearance of a demon monk there.
The number of enemies was unknown, and the strength of the enemies was unknown.
This time, Yan Zhao’s return was basically equivalent to a trip through lightning.
Putting aside the fact that the Second Elder had no intention of colluding with the enemy, even if he really wanted to, it would be extremely difficult.
Because of the problem of the inheritance of the Rulai Devil Palm, the relationship between the Devil Monks and the Devil Cult was like fire and water.
If it was someone else, it would be fine. Elder Yan Er of MO Mituo and Yan Zhao was the person with the highest attainments in the Buddha’s Palm among the Martial Kings of the Demon Cult…
In the past few decades, he had killed the most disciples of the Demon Monk in the entire sect.
As for betraying the sect and joining the Demon Monk’s faction, Second Elder Yan would not consider it if the other party was willing to let bygones be bygones.
“This old man will set off now.” The withered old man’s white eyebrows were still and slightly drooped.
Chen Luoyang nodded. ” If there is anything unusual, report back immediately.
This Seat will meet with Yuwen Feng and consider entering the highlands to deal with it personally. ‘
“Thank you, Cult Master.” Yanzhao cupped his hands.
“Second Elder is very experienced. I won’t say much. I’ll just mention one thing.” ” The descendant of the Devil Monk this time may be from the same clan but not the same branch as the Sinful Monk we are familiar with, ” said Su Wei. ” Sinful Monk might have escaped after secretly learning the divine technique. Perhaps we don’t have to be so nervous with the descendant of the Devil Monk this time.
“It’s not unreasonable,” said Yanzhao indifferently.
After saying that, he bowed to Chen Luoyang and took his leave.
When Yan Zhao came out of the main hall and returned to his residence, there were already three people waiting in his room.
Third Elder Wang Mofeng.
Fourth Elder Chai Han.
Fifth Elder Tan Yunsheng.
“Let me go to the Snow Plateau.” Yanzhao said calmly.
The other three looked worried.
‘ Boss Xie is recuperating in the headquarters. Second Brother Yan, you have gone to the highlands. The First Head is becoming more and more alone. He might even have to face Yuwen Feng and Li Yuanlong…” Chai Han said in a deep voice.
” At this critical juncture where the whale is swallowing the Divine Prefecture, Chen Luoyang can’t possibly let Chen Chuhua leave the Central Plains. It’s already good enough that Wang Fei and Su Ye don’t cause trouble. It’s either me or MO Feng, ” said Yan Zhao lightly. ” There’s nothing to say. “I’ll go with Second Brother Yan,” said Fifth Elder Tan Yunsheng.
Chai Han sighed.
“Hong Yan can’t get away if he stays in Shu Prefecture. Second Brother Yan doesn’t even have anyone to take care of him when he goes to the Xue Yu Highlands.” ” Apart from the Demonic Monk’s successor, ” Tan Yunsheng said, we might have to deal with the foreign tribes that occupy the Western Regions.
Brother Yan can’t be in two places at once. ‘
Yanzhao looked at him and said slowly, ‘”‘Since that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble Yunsheng and this old man to make a trip to the plateau together.”
After Fifth Elder Tan Yunsheng volunteered to go to the Snow Region Highlands with Second Elder Yan Zhao, Chen Luoyang agreed to his request.
Yan Zhao and Tan Yunsheng immediately set off.
The Crimson Dragon Emperor Carriage flew into Yuzhou.
The Demonic Sect had officially set foot in the core territory of Grand Xia.
The capital of the Xia Dynasty, Yujing, was located in the heart of Yuzhou.
There were still four days before the final battle between the two emperors.
The Crimson Dragon Sovereign Carriage arrived outside the capital city of Yu.
At this moment, a huge battle was taking place in the sky above the number one city in the Divine Prefecture.
The dark night descended, and the dark starry sky enveloped half of Yu Capital, turning the day into night.
In the night sky, a silver moon hung high in the sky, facing the sun.
Above the capital city, a huge formation that looked like a turtle shell appeared in the air. It spun non-stop and dissolved the pressure from the starry sky above.
Chen Luoyang knew that it was formed from the true intent of the Vermillion Bird Palace Hall’s Chief, Yan Mingkong.
The Great Xia Empire’s Longevity Xuanling Formation was also famous in the Divine Lands. It was manifested with the help of the Yu Capital and had a strong defensive power. Although it was not as powerful as the Demon Cult’s Zhurong Burning Sky Formation, it was still one of the few defensive formations in the world that protected the Xia Empire’s Imperial City.
Right now, the formation was stubbornly resisting Empress Yan Mingkong’s attack.
Chen Luoyang focused his eyes and looked closely. He saw that in the center of the turtle-like formation, there was a figure that seemed to be faintly discernible.
With him and the formation working together, the formation was temporarily as stable as Mount Tai and kept the empress outside.
Under the light of the array formation, its appearance flickered, making it impossible to see clearly.
The black light in Chen Luoyang’s eyes turned dark gold.
His gaze pierced through the formation and landed on the person in charge of the formation.
This time, he saw the other party’s appearance clearly. It was the Xia Emperor, Li Yuanlong.
Emperor Xia also sensed Chen Luoyang’s gaze. He turned his head slightly and met his gaze.
Under the flat crown, the pair of quiet eyes seemed to be as quiet as the void at this moment. They did not reveal any emotion.
Chen Luoyang was also quietly looking at the place.
At this moment, a figure appeared beside Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong.
It was a tall and ordinary-looking young man in the uniform of a Xia Dynasty palace guard. He was about 30 years old and had an expressionless face.
He came before Li Yuanlong and knelt on one knee.”Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body. Please let me support you during this period of time.”
” Chen Luoyang has already arrived. I’m afraid he won’t be resting for long. Why don’t we stay here together? ” Li Yuanlong said.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The guard replied.
Then, he stood up and took the burden of the Longevity Xuanling Array from Li Yuanlong.
Li Yuanlong didn’t leave either. He just stood at the side and silently regulated his breathing.
“Hongqing, you’ve worked hard.” “Great Xia’s territory is on our shoulders now.” Li Yuanlong sighed.
The young guard called Ban Hongqing said, will die for you.”
‘ Hongqing, you’re too kind. We’ll work together to protect this country. It’s not just you and me. They’re all with us, standing behind us. Together, we’ll hold up the sky for Grand Xia, preventing the Southern Barbarians and Northern
Tribes from tainting it and causing the lives of the people to be destroyed. ” Li Yuanlong said.
Ban Hongqing, who was beside him, narrowed his eyes.”Your Majesty is right..
In his mind, names and faces appeared one after another.
It was as if everyone was patting his shoulder, transmitting an invisible force to him.
Around him were young and naive, but full of vigor and fighting spirit.
The tall man seemed to have turned into a young man.
His appearance from more than ten years ago.
A group of youths stood together, working hard for the same goal.
The number of people decreased.
Everyone knew that those who disappeared could never come back.
However, they were not terrified and dispirited. Instead, they were even more motivated.
The hopes and dreams of their failed companions would continue to be carried by them, becoming their motivation to move forward.
He had to work hard together with his companions.
Protect Grand Xia, protect the people, and protect His Majesty.
There would definitely be difficulties and obstacles, and there would definitely be painful sacrifices.
But for the sake of that bright future, everything was worth it!
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people.
In the end, only Ban Hongqing was left.
Finally, he succeeded!
His former companions were no longer by his side.
But they did not disappear.
Their beliefs and dreams are all on me.
For them, I will never lose!
The moment when His Majesty decided to rule the world and Great Xia was going to swallow the entire world would definitely come!
The figures of the youths disappeared.
Only the tall young man was left standing on the spot. Like a pillar supporting the sky, he supported the Longevity Xuanling Array and isolated the night sky above from the capital city.
Li Yuanlong’s eyes behind the beaded curtain of the flat sky hat flashed with worry.
He looked into the distance.
Those that should have come and those that shouldn’t have come were all here.
In addition to the empress who was fighting with the Longevity Xuanling Array and the Crimson Dragon Sovereign Carriage that had just arrived, in another direction, on top of a tall mountain far away from the Yu Capital, stood a huge eagle.
The person on the eagle’s head was holding a wine jug and pouring wine into his mouth.
After a long time, he put down the wine pot, touched his mouth, and looked at the Crimson Dragon Imperial Carriage in the sky.
Burning auspicious clouds dyed the sky red.
Dragon roars sounded continuously from the auspicious clouds.
The dragon’s roar was filled with restlessness and resistance.
The closer they got to the capital, the more it was like this.
On the city wall, Emperor Xia, Li Yuanlong, was expressionless.
The Great Xia Dynasty had spent a lot of effort to obtain that flaming dragon. However, at that time, it was just an extremely young dragon.
If humans fed them, the young dragons would develop very slowly, and they would have to worry about dying young.
The Xia Dynasty had spent a lot of effort to protect the baby dragon, but it would take too much time to wait until it reached adulthood.
Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong tried his best and finally found another way. He tried to borrow the power of the Netherworld Sea’s sacrificial ritual to produce extreme heat from extreme cold, nurturing this flame dragon to grow rapidly. He finally succeeded.
In the past ten years, the Fire Dragon had grown rapidly and was finally about to reach adulthood.
This dragon’s combat strength was basically equivalent to a human expert at the thirteenth realm.
In order to be more confident, Li Yuanlong left Ban Hongqing to guard Yu Capital while he secretly brought Flame Dragon south.
However, the Demon Empress’s strength had far exceeded his expectations during the battle of the Southern Cloud Mountain.
Not only was he not affected by his injuries from the battle with the Sword Emperor, he was even stronger than before.
This completely strange contrast caused the Central Plains to suffer a great defeat.
As for Emperor Xia, Li Yuanlong, he had also lost this flame dragon and was severely injured by the Demon Emperor.
Now, the flaming dragon had been subdued and became the Demon Emperor’s mount, returning to Yu Capital City!
No matter how calm Emperor Xia Li Yuanlong was, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood..
