Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Ambition of the Mastermind, Attack on the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, the Divine Son Is About to Emerge (Three Updates)
"Hehe, of course, when serving you, how could I not put in my utmost effort," the Cyan Dragon Monarch chuckled.
"Indeed, with the corner of the compass you presented to me, we now have three pieces. Next, it’s just the last piece from the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country," a voice emerged from behind the veil.
"Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, huh... this..." the Cyan Dragon Monarch’s expression showed slight hesitation.
"What, is there a problem?" The voice sank slightly, its mood appearing somewhat unpredictable.
The Cyan Dragon Monarch’s forehead broke out in sweat, quickly replying, "You misunderstood, if it were earlier, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country indeed had some relations with my Cyan Dragon Ancient Country, but now, not only is there no relation, there is enmity."
Xiao Chen was rejected in marriage by Bai Yu’Er, driven out of the Jun Family in disgrace, and even lost the Dragon Qi.
Naturally, the Cyan Dragon Monarch couldn’t have any fondness for the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country and Bai Yu’Er.
They are already considered enemies.
"Oh, what caused this?" the voice asked.
The Cyan Dragon Monarch responded, "The Vermilion Bird Princess may have some connection with the Jun Family’s Divine Son."
"The Jun Family’s Divine Son?"
The voice carried a faint hint of hesitation and doubt.
Nowadays in the Desolate Celestial Immortal Realm, not many have seen Jun Xiaoyao, but many have heard his name.
"The Jun Family’s Divine Son probably wouldn’t care about such a small kingdom," the voice said lightly.
"Just a reminder for you," the Cyan Dragon Monarch said.
Previously, Jun Linglong subdued the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, but the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country did not announce it to the public.
After all, it wasn’t a very honorable thing.
So now, apart from the Vermilion Bird Country Lord, Bai Yu’Er, and the witnessing ministers.
Everyone else is unaware that the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country is already under Jun Xiaoyao’s control.
"Humph, a reminder for what? Don’t even consider whether the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country has any relation to Jun Xiaoyao; even if it did, would I, the Marquis, be afraid?"
The voice spoke with a slightly displeased tone.
"Of course, of course, you are a great figure destined to stand at the peak of the Immortal Realm in the future, overlooking all beings," the Cyan Dragon Monarch flattered.
"Hmm, just know that. Next, directly gather the Three Kingdoms Army, attack the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, make them submit, and seize the Bronze Compass Fragment," the voice commanded.
"Understood," the Cyan Dragon Monarch acknowledged, bowing.
"By the way, I’ve heard that the Vermilion Bird Princess Bai Yu’Er is a rare beauty; don’t hurt her. Bring her to become my concubine," the voice said.
"Yes," the Cyan Dragon Monarch nodded, feeling relieved.
Fortunately, Bai Yu’Er severed ties with Xiao Chen, otherwise, wouldn’t it be like giving my own son a green hat?
"Rest assured, after the task is done, you will be amply rewarded. At that time, the Four Ancient Countries will merge into the Four Symbols Ancient Country, with you as the sole Sovereign," the voice lightly laughed.
"Thank you, sir!" The Cyan Dragon Monarch’s eyes revealed a hint of joy.
Isn’t this exactly what he desired?
Afterwards, the Cyan Dragon Monarch took his leave.
The voice then murmured to itself.
"When the four pieces are gathered to form a complete Bronze Compass, it might reveal traces of the Bronze Immortal Hall."
"If successful, I will gain enormous fortunes, and then I’m certain I can marry Wu Mingyue."
"Then, enter the Panwu Mausoleum to obtain benefits, and gradually gain control over the Panwu Divine Dynasty."
"In the end, I, Yang Pan, will surely stand over the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, at the pinnacle of all beings!"
The voice, filled with majestic ambition, reverberated throughout the palace.
...
A few days later, the Cyan Dragon Monarch assembled the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army and marched towards the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.
Moreover, they marched openly and boldly towards the Fire Realm.
The news quickly reached the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.
Suddenly, the entire nation was in a state of panic.
Having heard of the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country’s annexation of the White Tiger Ancient Country and Black Tortoise Ancient Country, the ministers of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country already felt uneasy.
Now that the news is confirmed, it has thrown the entire Vermilion Bird Ancient Country into chaos.
With the current national strength of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, let alone the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army, even just the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country alone could bring a life-or-death catastrophe.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance Army has essentially sentenced the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country to death.
In the Imperial Palace of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom.
A group of ministers approached Bai Yu’Er.
"Princess, please quickly send a message to the Jun Family’s Divine Son to see if he can help!"
"Indeed, now that the Country Lord is in seclusion, only the Jun Family can save our Vermilion Bird Ancient Country!"
Many informed ministers strongly demanded Bai Yu’Er to seek Jun Xiaoyao.
"Alright, ministers, no need to worry, I’ll give it a try," Bai Yu’Er said.
She naturally felt urgency too, taking out the Communication Jade Scroll to contact Jun Linglong.
Because she had no direct way to contact Jun Xiaoyao.
Meanwhile, in the Jun Family, Jun Linglong also received the message.
However, Jun Xiaoyao was still in seclusion, and Jun Linglong could not disturb him for such matters.
Upon receiving the news, Bai Yu’Er’s heart sank slightly.
Jun Xiaoyao is in seclusion and unreachable.
Jun Linglong’s status pales in comparison to Jun Xiaoyao’s and she couldn’t mobilize the Jun Family’s forces to aid the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.
Only if Jun Xiaoyao stepped forward would there be a chance to help the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.
But he is currently in seclusion, unable to be disturbed.
Bai Yu’Er conveyed this news to the ministers.
"How can this be, is it fate that seeks to destroy our Vermilion Bird Ancient Country?" some ministers paled.
"Not necessarily, the Cyan Dragon Ancient Country probably just wants us to submit; let’s wait and see their attitude," Bai Yu’Er said.
Subsequently, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country entered a state of preparation for war.
External forces did not favor the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.
They even believed it was a thankless battle.
The outcome was inevitable; it was just a matter of time.
Of course, such speculation arose because they were unaware the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country was already a personal asset of Jun Xiaoyao.
If they knew this, they certainly wouldn’t hold such views.
In just a few days.
The Three Kingdoms Alliance Army entered the Fire Realm, aiming straight for the Vermilion Bird Ancient Kingdom Imperial City.
Along the way, every city they passed offered no resistance and was directly destroyed.
A large portion of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country’s forces were concentrated in the Imperial City.
No matter the outcome, the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country was unlikely to passively await its fate.
As the final battle among the Four Ancient Countries was about to erupt.
At the Jun Family, within the Celestial Emperor Palace.
A powerful aura spread, brilliance surged.
Immortal radiance mist emerged, making it seem as though an unparalleled True Immortal sat within the Celestial Emperor Palace.
Outside the Celestial Emperor Palace, Jun Linglong, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Zhangjian, and Jun Wanjie were all present.
In their eyes, there was both surprise and delight.
"The Divine Son is finally coming out of seclusion!"
