Chapter 81: Chapter 81: The Fall of Two Ancient Countries and the Mysterious Young Lord Behind the Scenes
"What? How can this be?"
Bai Yu’Er heard this, her beautiful eyes slightly revealing surprise.
This news really was beyond her expectations.
The Cyan Dragon Ancient Country is indeed very strong and is certainly the foremost of the Four Ancient Countries.
But the White Tiger Ancient Country and Black Tortoise Ancient Country are also extremely formidable, not far behind Cyan Dragon Ancient Country.
Only the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, due to the Vermilion Bird Country Lord’s severe injuries, has seen its national power decline in recent years.
However, apart from the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, the other three Ancient Countries are on about the same level.
Precisely because of this, Bai Yu’Er was surprised, how could Cyan Dragon Ancient Country have the audacity to make a move against the other two countries?
"What is the current situation?" Bai Yu’Er asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Princess, it is heard that Cyan Dragon Ancient Country initiated the war intentionally, their army is very strong, and it seems there are numerous mysterious and unknown masters joining them."
"Is such a thing possible?" Bai Yu’Er fell into thought.
Currently, the Vermilion Bird Country Lord is still in seclusion.
He obtained the Qilin Immortality Elixir and after recovering from his injuries, the first thing he decided to do was to go into seclusion, hoping to break through to the Saint Realm.
But breaking through to the Saint Realm is not so easy.
Although the Vermilion Bird Country Lord has accumulated profoundly and has the aid of the Immortality Medicine, breaking through to the Saint Realm is not something that can be accomplished in just a short time.
Until now, the Vermilion Bird Country Lord has not emerged from seclusion.
The affairs of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country have all been placed on Bai Yu’Er’s shoulders.
After all, it was she who saved the Vermilion Bird Country Lord, so now in the entire Ancient Country, apart from the Vermilion Bird Country Lord, Bai Yu’Er has the most influence.
"For now, let’s just watch and see. It’s not suitable for Vermilion Bird Ancient Country to intervene." Bai Yu’Er waved her hand.
With the current power of Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, they don’t have the capability to intervene.
"Yes." The maid obeyed and retreated.
Bai Yu’Er slightly furrowed her fine brows.
"What exactly is the reason, and where did those mysterious masters helping Cyan Dragon Ancient Country come from?"
Bai Yu’Er was pondering.
If she were still Xiao Chen’s fiancée, she wouldn’t have to worry about such things.
But now, Bai Yu’Er not only severed all ties with Xiao Chen but turned enemies with him.
Under these circumstances, Bai Yu’Er couldn’t help but worry that Cyan Dragon Ancient Country would make trouble for Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.
"I hope I’m just overthinking." Bai Yu’Er rubbed her temples with her slender fingers.
But for some reason.
She felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.
...
Time slowly passed.
Within the Celestial Emperor Palace of the Jun Family, Jun Xiaoyao was still in seclusion.
He attempted to use the method from the Body Book to refine the bones within his body using Immortal Origin.
After a full half-month, he finally refined the first bone within his body into a Daluo Immortal Bone.
Jun Xiaoyao considered it to be a bit slow, but if it were anyone else, they might not be able to refine even a single Daluo Immortal Bone in several years.
At the moment the first Daluo Immortal Bone appeared, Jun Xiaoyao felt that the bone emitted a golden glow, as if inscribed with profound runes.
Moreover, this Daluo Immortal Bone was in the arm, Jun Xiaoyao punched out and felt that its power was several times stronger than before.
"Not bad, although the progress is somewhat slow, there is finally a result." Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
Just one Daluo Immortal Bone has such a distinct effect, what if there were more?
In the end, how powerful would it be if all 206 bones in his body transformed into Daluo Immortal Bone?
Jun Xiaoyao grew even more excited about the Daluo Immortal Body.
While Jun Xiaoyao continued his seclusion.
Another astounding news came from the Four Symbols Ancient Country.
Cyan Dragon Ancient Country, with an exceptionally powerful stance, broke through the national borders of White Tiger Ancient Country and Black Tortoise Ancient Country.
Even though the two Ancient Countries joined forces to resist, they were unable to withstand the army of Cyan Dragon Ancient Country.
This stirred quite an upheaval in dozens of surrounding states.
But this was not an Immortal Influence war, so its impact was limited, and it did not cause a stir throughout the Immortal Realm.
When Bai Yu’Er received this news, her eyes trembled.
The feeling of unease in her heart grew even stronger.
...
Jinzhou, White Tiger Ancient Country, within the Imperial Palace.
The White Tiger Country Lord and Sovereign of Xuanwu, at this moment, cheek slightly pale, stood with hands lowered, evidently both having recently gone through a major battle and suffered significant injuries.
They are Saint Realm cultivators, but at this moment, they are wounded, with residual shock visible in their eyes.
In front of them, the Cyan Dragon Monarch stood calmly.
His cultivation is also in the Saint Realm, not higher than the two country lords.
But behind him, there were four figures enveloped in pitch-black robes.
In the earlier battle, it was due to the presence of these four, along with the Cyan Dragon Monarch, that inflicted heavy damage on them, causing their armies to collapse.
"Cyan Dragon Monarch, where did you find such assistance?" The White Tiger Country Lord asked, hinting at a trace of unwillingness.
If it weren’t for these four figures, he alone would have been able to resist the Cyan Dragon Monarch.
"Hehe, why the need for such inquiries, just know that I am also working for the young lord." The Cyan Dragon Monarch chuckled softly.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the two country lords revealed a look of astonishment.
A dignified country lord, actually working for someone else?
Moreover, according to his address, it’s a young lord?
The two country lords exchanged glances, seeing the surprise and suspicion in each other’s eyes.
"No need to guess, these four are also people of that young lord." The Cyan Dragon Monarch said lightly.
At this point, the White Tiger Country Lord and Sovereign of Xuanwu’s eyes revealed even more shock.
These four Saint Powerhouses are actually people of that young lord?
Who exactly is that young lord?
And how terrifying must his background be?
"Now, I just need you to agree to two conditions."
"First, surrender one quarter of your respective Compass."
"Second, declare national allegiance to the young lord."
"These two conditions, agree, and you may live!"
"Do not agree, and die!"
The Cyan Dragon Monarch’s tone was cold and direct.
Upon hearing these words, the two country lords were more marked by a hint of humiliation.
The Compass is a relic of heritage, though unknown in purpose, it symbolizes a country.
The Four Ancient Countries each possess one quarter of the Compass.
And national allegiance to the young lord is equally not a noble act.
Just as the two country lords were about to argue, those four pitch-black figures suddenly stepped forward.
The oppressive aura choked the words of the two country lords, unable to say anything.
After a long while, the two country lords finally nodded in defeat, agreeing to the conditions.
Seeing this, the Cyan Dragon Monarch satisfiedly nodded.
After some processes, both countries smoothly submitted.
And the Cyan Dragon Monarch came to a luxurious hall behind the Imperial Palace.
Inside the hall, numerous alluring dancing girls performed gracefully.
At the top, there was a large bed with curtains drawn, faintly outlining a figure leaning against a few graceful silhouettes.
The Cyan Dragon Monarch opened his palm, revealing two ancient and mottled parts of the Cyan Dragon Compass.
"Young lord, the items you wanted have been obtained." The Cyan Dragon Monarch said with a hint of deference.
From within the veiled area, a robust arm extended its fingers and grasped the two parts of the Cyan Dragon Compass.
"Very good, Cyan Dragon Monarch, you did not disappoint me!"
