Chapter 4177 The Three Demonic Scorpion Elders
While the others watched in confusion, Duan Ling Tian’s expression changed as he watched Xiao Yi Yuan, the Lord of the Soaring Divine Kingdom, charging toward the girl standing behind the Lord of the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom.
Guan Bao Yu, the Lord of the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom, asked coldly with a dark expression on his face, “Xiao Yi Yuan, have you gone insane?”
Guan Bao Yu was naturally not afraid of Xiao Yi Yuan.
Xiao Yi Yuan seemed to regain his senses upon hearing Guan Bao Yu’s words. He quickly withdrew his attack. Without the Lord’s Decree, he was slightly weaker than Guan Bao Yu. With the Lord’s Decree, they were equal. In short, it was useless for him to attack Lang Chun Yuan now.
!!
Xiao Yi Yuan looked at Guan Bao Yu darkly and said, “Guan Bao Yu, hand over that girl standing behind you to me!”
“Impossible,” Guan Bao Yu said indifferently as he looked at Xiao Yi Yuan who was seething with anger. Based on Xiao Yi Yuan’s behavior, it was not difficult for him to figure out that the demon-like girl who slaughtered almost all the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds in the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom was Lang Chun Yuan. However, it did not matter to him. She was now the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom’s trump card, after all. He placed all his hopes to rank first in both the individual and group ranking on her. Although the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom would not be rewarded if Lang Chun Yuan ranked first in the individual ranking, it would undoubtedly boost the reputation of the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom in the Southern Heaven Continent. At that time, there would not be anyone who did not know the top ranker of the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms was from the Jade Bow Divine Kingdom.
Although Guan Bao Yu had figured out the situation, the others had yet to make the connection.
Xiao Yi Yuan said icily, “Guan Bao Yu, she’s the one who came to my capital and killed all the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds there while I was in closed-door cultivation. You must hand her over to me!”
As soon as Xiao Yi Yuan’s words fell, everyone’s confusion disappeared and was replaced by shock.
“She’s the girl who went to the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom and slaughtered the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds there?”
“I heard she’s comparable to an ordinary rudimentary Supreme G.o.d!”
“No wonder the Lord of the Soaring Divine Kingdom lost his composure!”
Duan Ling Tian was also shocked when he learned that his Fourth Senior Sister killed almost all, if not all, of the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds in the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom.
‘Fourth Senior Sister is really amazing! She actually went to the capital of a Divine Kingdom to kill all the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds there…’
Duan Ling Tian was in awe of Lang Chun Yuan’s boldness and success. He naturally knew that she had killed the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds for the rewards.
‘Fortunately, Fourth Senior Sister only made a move after learning that the Lord wasn’t in the capital. Otherwise, she might have died…’
Duan Ling Tian had overestimated Lang Chun Yuan. He did not expect that Lang Chun Yuan did not make any preparations at all before going to the capital of the Soaring Divine Kingdom. When she went there, she did not even know that Xiao Yi Yuan was not in the capital. In fact, she had a.s.sumed that Xiao Yi Yuan was in the capital. Not only that, but when she found that Xiao Yi Yuan was not in the capital, she even intentionally sought him out!
If Duan Ling Tian knew about this, he would be drenched in cold sweat.
At this time, Guan Bao Yu replied calmly, “Xiao Yi Yuan, that’s enough. Miss Lang is an important person to us, and she’ll be representing my Jade Bow Divine Kingdom in the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. Even after the end of the battle, I have no intention of handing her over to you. Whether your words are true or not, it doesn’t matter. You can only blame yourself for failing to protect your men. If you were competent, let alone an advanced Emperor of G.o.ds, even an advanced Supreme G.o.d wouldn’t be able to harm those in your capital.” His voice turned disdainful as he continued to say, “Don’t blame someone else for your mistake.”
Xiao Yi Yuan’s expression turned unsightly upon hearing Guan Bao Yu’s words. After a moment, he looked at the other Lords of the Divine Kingdoms, who were present on the scene, before he said, “Don’t think that this matter has nothing to do with you. If she can enter my kingdom and kill my men, she can do the same to you! Do you think you’ll be able to stay on guard all the time and respond in time?”
Xiao Yi Yuan tried his best to get the others to stand on his side and demand justice for him. He was no match for Guan Bao Yu, but if a group of Lords spoke out against Guan Bao Yu, perhaps, he might get what he wanted.
Alas, contrary to Xiao Yuan Yi’s expectations, quite a few of the other Lords took Guan Bao Yu’s side and even thought that he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
There were also some who remained neutral and preferred not to be dragged into muddy waters.
In the end, Xiao Yi Yuan failed in his quest to seek justice. He could only glare at Lang Chun Yuan.
At the same time, the advanced Emperors of G.o.ds from the Soaring Divine Kingdom fell into despair when they saw Lang Chun Yuan looking at all of them. It was as though she was trying to memorize their faces. At this time, they could only pray with all their might that they would not run into her in Destiny Canyon. Otherwise, they had no doubt that she would kill them. They felt really conflicted at this moment.
‘d.a.m.n it! Should I withdraw? It’s too dangerous…’
‘It’s grown even more dangerous now that I’ve become a target. However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I can’t miss entering Destiny Canyon!’
At the same time, Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. Up until now, he and Lang Chun Yuan had yet to greet each other. It was not the right time to do so, and they had plenty of time to do so in Destiny Canyon. It would be to their advantage to keep their relations.h.i.+p a secret. Perhaps, they could join forces and launch a surprise attack later in Destiny Canyon.
After the conflict between the Soaring Divine Kingdom and Lang Chun Yuan died down, all 30 Divine Kingdoms in the Southern Heaven Continent had arrived.
Half of the Southern Heaven Continent was ruled by the 30 Divine Kingdoms while the other half was ruled by various powerful supreme-rank clans and sects. These clans and sects were mostly founded by sectless cultivators or descendants from royal families who did not inherit the throne. They were unwilling to serve their respective Divine Kingdoms and chose to establish their own forces. In any case, this was also the reason why some supreme-rank forces had close relations.h.i.+ps with some Divine Kingdoms and had connections to the royal families.
At this time, Duan Ling Tian heard Zhu Ying Jun say, “Now that everyone’s here, we only need to wait for Destiny Canyon to appear.”
Since the beginning, Destiny Canyon had been the venue of the Southern Heaven Continent’s Battle of the Divine Kingdoms. It would only appear once every 10,000 years on the eve of the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms, and it could only be open when the 30 Lords of the 30 Divine Kingdoms used their Lord’s Decrees in unison.
“How many more days are left?” someone asked.
Unlike Duan Ling Tian, many of the mansion masters were growing impatient.
Yun He replied on behalf of Zhu Ying Jun, “Five more days.”
…
Over the next few days, the Lords of the Divine Kingdoms and the mansion masters would gather and chat while Duan Ling Tian sat cross-legged in the air to cultivate. Although being interrupted could result in injuries or a deviation in his cultivation, he was not worried about it since Zhu Ying Jun was around. Zhu Ying Jun would definitely protect him since it was to Zhu Ying Jun’s benefit that he partic.i.p.ated in the Battle of the Divine Kingdoms.
Similarly, Lang Chun Yuan also sat cross-legged to cultivate, following in Duan Ling Tian’s footsteps. She also did not seem worried about Xiao Yi Yuan attacking her.
…
The day before Destiny Canyon appeared, everyone’s excitement grew stronger.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly began to stir as the sound of the wind whistling rang in the air.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Three figures flew over from the distance. They were three old men with hair as white as snow. One of them was tall and burly, one had a medium build, and the other one was lanky.
Upon seeing the three old men, the expressions of a few Lords of the Divine Kingdoms turned grim.
“It’s the Three Demonic Scorpion Elders from the Latent Element Heaven Sect!”
The Latent Element Heaven Sect was a powerful supreme-rank force in the Southern Heaven Continent with many advanced Supreme G.o.ds. The Three Demonic Scorpion Elders were intermediate Supreme G.o.ds and were considered the pillar of the sect as well. The Formations that the trio created together were comparable to that of an ordinary advanced Supreme G.o.d. Most importantly, they were so strong that even Xiao Yi Yuan, who possessed the Lord’s Decree, was no match for them if they joined forces.
