"What? How could this be?"
Bai Yu'er was slightly surprised to hear that.
The news was completely unexpected.
The Ancient Kingdom of Dragon was indeed very powerful, and it was also the leader of the four ancient kingdoms.
Even so, the Ancient Kingdom of White Tiger and the Ancient Kingdom of Black Tortoise were no weaker than the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon.
The Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was the only one whose power declined year after year due to the king being severely injured.
Aside from the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, however, the other three ancient kingdoms should be on the same level.
That was why Bai Yu'er was surprised that the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon was bold enough to attack the other two kingdoms.
"What's the current situation like?" Bai Yu'er asked.
"Your Highness, I heard that the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon took the initiative to start a war. Their army is very powerful, and it seems that many mysterious masters have joined them."
"Really?" Bai Yu'er fell into deep thought.
The king was still in seclusion.
After he obtained the Immortality Herb of the Qilin and recovered from his injuries, the first thing he needed to do was to go into seclusion. He wanted to use this opportunity to break through to the Saint Stage.
However, breaking through to the Saint Stage wasn't that easy.
Even though the king of the Kingdom of Phoenix had been accumulating power for a very long time, it would still take him some time to reach the Saint Stage with the help of the Immortality Herb.
Until now, the king of the Kingdom of Phoenix had yet to come out of seclusion.
The entire state affairs of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix rested on Bai Yu'er's shoulders.
After all, she was the one who saved the king of the Kingdom of Phoenix. Aside from the king, Bai Yu'er was the most influential person in the entire kingdom.
Bai Yu'er waved her hand and said, "Just wait and see. The Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix shouldn't get involved."
Given the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix's current state of affairs, they were powerless to intervene.
"Understood," the maid answered and left.
Bai Yu'er frowned slightly.
"Why? Where did the mysterious masters who helped the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon come from?"
Bai Yu'er was deep in thought.
If she were still Xiao Chen's fiancé, she wouldn't have to worry about something like that.
Not only did Bai Yu'er cut off all ties with Xiao Chen, but they also became enemies.
Under such circumstances, Bai Yu'er couldn't help but worry that the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon would make things difficult for the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix.
"I hope I'm overthinking things." Bai Yu'er rubbed her temples.
Somehow…
She felt uneasy.
…
Time slowly passed.
Jun Xiaoyao was still in seclusion in the Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Jun family.
He tried to use the method recorded in the Body Book to temper his bones with the immortal source.
It took him half a month to refine the first bone in his body into the Bones of the Everlasting Celestial.
Jun Xiaoyao considered himself to be a little slow, but if it were anyone else, they might not even be able to refine a piece of the Bones of the Everlasting Celestial in several years.
The moment the first piece of the Bones of the Everlasting Celestial appeared, Jun Xiaoyao sensed that the piece of bone was golden in color, as if it was branded with mysterious runes.
On top of that, Jun Xiaoyao felt that the Bone of the Everlasting Celestial was several times more powerful than before when he threw a punch.
"Not bad. Although the progress is a little slow, I've finally made some progress," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
If one piece of the Bones of the Everlasting Celestial had such an obvious effect, what about a few more pieces?
In the end, if all 206 bones in his body transformed into the Bones of the Everlasting Celestial, how powerful would that be?
Jun Xiaoyao was increasingly looking forward to the Immortality Body of the Zenith Heaven.
While Jun Xiaoyao was in seclusion,
Another shocking piece of news spread from the Ancient Kingdom of Four Symbols.
The Ancient Kingdom of Dragon broke through the gates of the Ancient Kingdom of White Tiger and the Ancient Kingdom of Black Tortoise in a domineering manner.
Even if the two ancient kingdoms joined forces to resist, it would still be difficult for them to resist the Ancient Kingdom of Dragon's army.
This caused quite a stir in dozens of states.
However, this was not a war between immortal forces, after all, so its influence was limited. It did not shock the entire Mystic Realm.
Bai Yu'er's eyes flickered when she heard the news.
The uneasiness in her heart grew even stronger.
…
In the royal palace of the Ancient Kingdom of White Tiger in the Golden State…
The king of the Kingdom of White Tiger and the king of the Kingdom of Black Tortoise were both looking rather pale at the moment. They stood with their hands by their sides. It was obvious that both of them had been through a major battle and suffered significant injuries.
They were all at the Saint Stage, but they were all injured at the moment. Shock lingered in their eyes.
In front of them, the king of the Kingdom of Dragon stood calmly.
His cultivation was also at the Saint Stage, which meant that he was no higher than the two kings.
Behind him, however, were four figures shrouded in pitch-black robes.
It was precisely because of the existence of these four people and the king of the Kingdom of Dragon that they were severely injured in the previous war, leading to the defeat of the two armies.
"King of the Kingdom of Dragon, where did you get this helper from?" The king of the Kingdom of White Tiger sounded rather indignant.
If it weren't for the four figures, he alone would have been able to contend against the king of the Kingdom of Dragon.
"Hehe, what's the point of asking so much? Just know that I'm only doing this for the young master," the king said with a faint smile.
"What?"
The two kings were both surprised to hear that.
The king of a kingdom was actually working for someone else?
Furthermore, he was addressed as a young master.
The two kings looked at each other and saw the bewilderment in each other's eyes.
"Don't doubt it. These four are also the men of that young master," the king said faintly.
At that moment, both the king of the White Tiger and the king of the Black Tortoise were overwhelmed with shock.
These four Saints were actually the young master's men?
Who exactly was that young master?
How terrifying must his background be?
"Now, you only need to agree to two conditions."
"First, hand over the quarter of your compass."
"Secondly, the entire kingdom will submit to us."
"If you agree to these two conditions, you may live!"
"If you don't agree, die!"
The king of the Kingdom of Dragon said bluntly with a cold tone.
The two kings felt even more humiliated upon hearing that.
That compass was an heirloom. Although no one knew what it was for, it was the symbol of a kingdom.
The four ancient kingdoms each had a quarter of a compass.
Submitting to that young master was not something glorious either.
Just when the two kings were about to argue, the four dark figures suddenly took a step forward.
The oppressive aura rendered the two kings speechless.
After a long while, the two kings nodded dejectedly and agreed to the conditions.
The king of Kingdom of Dragon nodded in satisfaction.
After treating their wounds the two kings returned together
Meanwhile, the king of the Kingdom of Dragon arrived at a luxurious hall behind the royal palace.
Many enchanting dancers were dancing in the main hall.
There was a large bed directly above with curtains hanging down. One could vaguely see a figure leaning against a few beautiful figures.
The king opened his palm to reveal two pieces of the ancient and mottled Blue Dragon Compass.
"Young master, I have what you wanted." The king's tone was respectful.
A powerful arm reached out from the ledger and grabbed the two pieces of the Bronze Compass.
"Well done, King of the Dragon Kingdom. You didn't disappoint me!"
