Shang Jiawei no longer paid attention to Yulong Yan's expression.
Instead, he seriously said to everyone:
"Old Ancestor Yi, Old Ancestor Yu, what are your plans? Will you continue to fight outside or prepare to return to the Shan Hai Jing and fuse with your main bodies."
Hou Yi and Da Yu thought for a moment, then said, "Let's stay outside for now. When the Shan Hai Jing is unsealed, we'll return to our main bodies."
Then, glancing at Yulong Yan, Da Yu continued:
"With only Uncle Yan, who is senile, left outside, I'm not at ease. I'll stay with Uncle Hou Yi and be a helper for Uncle Yan."
Shang Jiawei nodded and said to Yulong Yan:
"Old Ancestor Yan, you have suppressed your cultivation level for so many years. Now that the Emperor's position is recovering, are you planning to advance to the Emperor's position or wait a while longer?"
Yulong Yan shook his head and said, "If I advance to the Emperor's position, the Black Dragon Emperor and the Black Dragon King will definitely advance too. The current human destiny is still not enough to support four Emperor positions. I'll wait a while longer."
Shang Jiawei thought for a while and then said:
"That's good. After Zhan'er defeats the coalition of ten thousand races, it should be enough to satisfy your and the Black Dragon Emperor's and Black Dragon King's advancement in destiny."
"Then let's decide this for now. After we annihilate the Lizardmen, our human destiny should be able to recover one more Emperor position, which will be a guarantee for the next battle of ten thousand races."
Before Shang Jiawei finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, saying:
"Let's stop our conversation for now. Guests are arriving, and we need to prepare."
As Shang Jiawei finished speaking, everyone quickly took action.
The kings also entered the Tiger Tally's troop deployment space, and even the young Taoist priest was brought in.
Only Li Siyi, Dian Wei, Zhao Zilong, and the eight commanders of the Da Shang Ancestral Court Guard remained beside Lin Zhan, a total of eleven镇族 (zhen zu - clan-guarding) level kings.
Yulong Yan said to the Eight-headed Serpent: "Little Xiang Liu, you don't need to participate in the battle. Stay and protect Zhan'er."
The Eight-headed Serpent nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Yan. With me here, I guarantee that old uncle won't lose a single hair."
The eight commanders of the Da Shang Ancestral Court activated the Xuan bird totem on their armor.
A defensive formation with Xuan bird patterns instantly appeared around everyone.
A commander of the guard team said to Lin Zhan:
"Young Master Zhan, this is the unique defensive formation of our Da Shang Ancestral Court Guard. The defensive formation activated by the joint efforts of us eight commanders can withstand the attack of an Emperor with deep foundations."
Lin Zhan was stunned and then said happily, "Is this formation difficult? Can it be popularized? Also, how many attacks from an Emperor with deep foundations can it withstand?"
"Uh... it's not difficult, it's just very expensive. It requires a large amount of energy stones to consume, and the number of attacks it can withstand from an Emperor with deep foundations is a bit low."
Lin Zhan heard this and felt a bit uneasy: "How low is 'a bit low'?"
"One... one time."
Lin Zhan was completely bewildered, looking at the commander of the Ancestral Court Guard and said:
"Old Ancestor, are you kidding me? Don't tell me this thing can only withstand one attack from an Emperor with deep foundations, and the energy consumption isn't calculated by time, right?"
After Lin Zhan finished speaking, these commanders of the guard team looked at Lin Zhan with admiration and said:
"As expected of Young Master Zhan, you are indeed a learned person. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Lin Zhan's heart sank as he heard this: "Damn, what are we doing with such extravagance?"
"Then Young Master, should we withdraw the formation?"
"Withdraw what? Is my young master's life not worth a few energy stones?"
Lin Zhan gave the commander a sideways glance.
Meanwhile, the strong cultivators of the Lizardmen had arrived above the defensive line.
The sixteen Human Emperors of Huaxia, led by Shang Jiawei, also ascended into the sky, confronting the eighty-two Lizardmen Emperors.
Seeing eight Lizardmen Emperors carrying two giant coffins, Shang Jiawei said with a teasing tone:
"Stop hiding in the coffins. Let me see which two shameless old men are coming out to see an old friend."
Heavy voices came from the two coffins:
"Shang Jiawei, it's indeed the work of you warmongers from Da Shang. What, are you uncomfortable if you don't stir up trouble? Did the Lizardmen offend you? Your descendants came to attack our Lizardmen plane."
Shang Jiawei frowned as he listened to the Lizardmen Emperor's words, then pondered for a while before speaking:
"I wondered who it was. Lyon Borg, and the one in that coffin must be Avare Sanchez. It's also fitting, as only you two cowards could have survived until now."
Avare Sanchez from the other coffin said irritably:
"Shang Jiawei, you don't need to be happy too early. Since you can come out of the coffin at a time when destiny is insufficient and the Emperor's position is not prominent, you must have used some secret technique that damages your origin. I'll see how long you can keep jumping."
Shang Jiawei shook his head and said impatiently:
"My grandfather taught me from a young age not to talk too much with fools, or you'll be assimilated by them, and then the fools will use their years of experience as fools to defeat you."
"Avare Sanchez, it's been over 4,000 years, hasn't it? How come you haven't improved at all? Why are you still like an idiot? Can't you use your limited brain to think things through? I really don't know how you cultivated to the Emperor's position."
While Shang Jiawei was scolding, the five giant pandas from the Tie family were observing the more than 80 Lizardmen Emperors present with the eyes of opportunistic thieves.
"Fourth brother, how should we act? All the fat sheep have come this time. If we capture them all alive, we'll be rich."
Tie Lao Liu asked his elder brother slyly.
Tie Lao Si's eyes rolled as he said:
"Fifth, Sixth, you two form a group. One is responsible for knocking them out, and the other is responsible for the action. Seventh, Eighth, you two form a group and do the same as Fifth and Sixth."
"Cooperate with each other, and I'll bring my equipment and start the slaughter. After I disrupt the enemy, you can pick off the stragglers. Make sure they are alive."
The giant pandas nodded in agreement: "Understood, Fourth Brother."
Tie Lao Si turned to Tie Lao Liu and said, "Sixth, lend me Old Ancestor's false teeth."
Tie Lao Liu quickly took out the false teeth made from the broken teeth of the Iron Eater Beast ancestor and handed them to Tie Lao Si.
Tie Lao Si took the false teeth and put them on his own teeth, then put on the heavy armor refined from the fur of the Iron Eater Beast ancestor.
He put on two pairs of gauntlets, and then outside he wore the Emperor-level rune armor he had exchanged from Lin Zhan with 15 Emperor-level crystal cores.
In an instant, Tie Lao Si was fully armed from his teeth to his backside.
He took out a large mirror and Tie Lao Si narcissistically admired his heroic and mighty figure, nodding with satisfaction and saying:
"Not bad, worthy of being the best-looking bear in our Tie family."
