Protect Our Chief

...

Just as the Great Emperor was muttering.

The three Southern Qin people saw the situation was bad and panicked, soaring into the sky in three different directions to break through.

"Boom!"

One of them, with formidable strength, punched the three personal guards blocking his way, roaring angrily as he shot toward the sky.

At the same time, a terrifying force exploded from his body.

A high-pitched cry echoed, and a massive phantom of a black Phoenix suddenly appeared behind him.

It was an enormous Phoenix, so solid it seemed almost tangible, with vast dark wings and scarlet eyes emitting overwhelming vengeful Qi. The tail feathers burning with Nether Fire stretched infinitely into the distant void.

The sinister nether aura bloomed with the appearance of this Phoenix, sweeping out with seemingly endless malice and violence.

In an instant, the whole world was filled with this aura, as if plunged into the hellish realm.

Dharma Illusion, Profound Fire Nether Phoenix!

At this moment, holding back was not an option.

With the presence of the Lingxu Realm powerhouse Emperor Longchang, even a moment of hesitation could lead to death on the spot. This man dared not have the slightest hope and unleashed his full strength.

With the power boost of the Profound Fire Nether Phoenix’s Dharma Aspect, his momentum soared ceaselessly, his entire body exuding thick black Demonic Qi, majestic as celestial might.

On his hands, a pair of dark claw blades appeared, resembling Phoenix claws, gleaming with a terrifying force that only a Divine Power Spirit Treasure could possess.

Clearly, this was a Divine Power Realm Black Tortoise Cultivator.

"Nether Phoenix bloodline, indeed the Prince from the Southern Qin Murong Family!" Emperor Longchang’s eyes flashed with enthusiasm, "This kid’s bloodline is pure, primarily cultivating the first half of the ’Nether Treasure Manual,’ most likely the Prince Beishan of Southern Qin."

Southern Qin’s overall national power is weaker than Daqian’s, maintaining only five to seven princes at most. As the Great Emperor, he naturally knows the few princes of the neighboring kingdom well.

If in war, the opponent is usually surrounded by an army, killing a prince isn’t easy. Even Emperor Longchang has limited numbers of slain Divine Power Realm individuals in his lifetime.

But since this Prince Beishan is alone today, death is likely assured.

For a moment, Emperor Longchang had a strong urge to rush forward and kill that Prince Beishan, adding glory to his imperial career.

"Your Majesty, restrain your temper..." Wang Shouzhe advised, "Don’t steal the accolades of our allies."

Emperor Longchang’s eye twitched; accompanying this boy Wang Shouzhe on missions is really dull. He arranges everything perfectly, avoids battles whenever possible, and if fighting is necessary, suitable opponents will be lined up.

There are no surprises nor accidents; everything proceeds smoothly and unremarkably.

He indeed wanted to act unruly for once, but firstly must set a non-capricious example for his nominal granddaughter Lixian, and secondly, having the Southern Border Barbarian Gu Race declare loyalty is more crucial.

Of course, in his view, the first reason was more important. He is living in Wang Family’s care; if he led Lixian astray, likely angry Wang Family’s Mrs. Wang Liu Ruolan would boot him out.

Then he’d not only lose face but also lose such a rare place to retire.

With Wang Shouzhe, he could shamelessly play rogue, but in front of Liu Ruolan, he couldn’t act capricious, could he? That would be truly disrespectful in old age. Besides, Mrs. Wang wouldn’t indulge you, would she?

Even as the Great Emperor, living under someone else’s roof, one must know to behave.

While the Great Emperor was muttering.

The bloodline-exploding Prince Beishan had already charged into the sky, clawing at the Saint Gu Worm Celestial Silkworm blocking the way.

The chilling light cut through the sky, its terrifying force seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.

Where the claw’s energy reached, space trembled wildly, and a dark mark was left behind, as if even space could be torn apart.

Saintess Dai’s face changed.

She thought the strength of these three spies topped at the Purple Mansion Realm, unexpectedly there was a hidden Divine Power Realm prince among them!

This battle is the declaration of allegiance for the Saint Gu Worm Race aligning with Daqian! It must succeed and cannot fail!

If this Southern Qin Prince escaped, trouble for the Saint Gu Worm Race would be immense!

Gritting her teeth, she suddenly reached out, slicing her left wrist with force.

A drop of black-red, immensely powerful blood shot out like lightning, entering the Saint Gu Worm Celestial Silkworm’s body.

Simultaneously, she pulled out an ancient Insect Flute, channeling power, and started playing.

"Ao!"

The entire Saint Gu Worm Celestial Silkworm shook, exploding with a roar unlike any insect’s.

At the next moment.

Golden lines started appearing on its white plump body.

Its chubby body trembled and vibrated continually, an ancient and vast aura surged within, transforming into waves of terrifying Divine Soul Suppression spreading forth.

Like tangible Spiritual Energy storms sweeping the world.

Suddenly, within dozens of miles radius, all Gu insects screamed in unison.

A surge of Power of Divine Sense flowed from these Gu insects, rushing toward the Saint Gu Worm Celestial Silkworm in the sky.

Unknowingly, the aura exuded by the Saint Gu Worm Celestial Silkworm grew stronger and stronger, and the Spiritual Energy storms sweeping the world became increasingly powerful and terrifying.
