Chapter 560

Above the main seat in that great hall sat a young man clad in crimson robes, his eyes extremely cold and filled with chilling intent.

This person was the famous Resentful Dragon God King, and the Resentful Dragon God King's strength was even more bizarre and utterly extraordinary.

He was not someone an ordinary person could contend with; beneath his seat sat seventy-two personal subordinates and trusted aides.

These trusted aides each wore crimson robes and donned crimson masks, making their true faces impossible to see.

Yet from the aura emanating from their bodies, one could sense a strong flavor of Resentful Dragon Poison.

Thus it could be seen that these people were likely puppets or captives who, after submitting to the Resentful Dragon God King, were now serving him.

Besides them, four others stood beside the Resentful Dragon God King; these four were his direct disciples seated beneath him.

These four direct disciples were from the Resentful Dragon Clan, truly among the top experts within the Resentful Dragon Clan.

The expressions these four held toward the Resentful Dragon God King were exceptionally respectful, yet also carried a hint of panic.

The Resentful Dragon God King's voice, like thunder, exploded throughout the entire palace.

"You bunch of trash, I ordered you to seek out more resentment and even purer power, yet you returned with nothing."

"This time has disappointed me somewhat; the time left for you is not much. If you cannot complete the task within the allotted time,"

"then what awaits you will be endless torment. I will cast you into the Abyss."

"Let the power within the Abyss devour you, let you know what it means to wish for death but find life worse."

When the words "Abyss" were mentioned, the seventy-two puppet experts below felt extreme terror.

Although they all wore masks, their terrified expressions and the trembling of their bodies

had already exposed the tension and anxiety within their hearts, showing how terrifying the punishment of the Abyss was to them.

Thinking of this, the seventy-two people knelt on the ground in unison, then pleaded for mercy, saying,

"Master, we know our mistake. From now on, we will do our utmost to gather the purest resentment in the world."

"Helping you, Master, achieve a breakthrough in realm and return to the Resentful Dragon Clan sooner, enabling you to re-enter the Dragon Clan's territory."

Hearing this, the Resentful Dragon God King merely cast a very sinister glance downward, then said to them,

"I grant you at most seven days. If you fail to complete the task within these seven days,"

"if you fail to fulfill the trust I placed in you, then go to the Abyss yourselves to receive punishment."

Upon hearing the Resentful Dragon God King's command, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, for they dared not continue to disobey.

They could only hope to seize as much pure resentment as possible and complete the task entrusted to them by the Resentful Dragon God King.

Soon everyone withdrew, leaving only the Resentful Dragon God King and the four Great Guardians before him.

These four Great Guardians showed no emotion; among them, the First Great Guardian stepped forward and addressed the Resentful Dragon God King, saying,

"Your Majesty, we have previously condensed twelve red clouds. These twelve red clouds can spread to the twelve directions of this world."

"Those greedy ones, upon seeing the red clouds appear, will follow the red clouds to come here..."

"Then we will slay them, seize their crystal cores, refine them into Resentment Spirits, and offer them for Your Majesty's command."

Hearing the First Great Guardian's words before him, the Resentful Dragon God King gazed intently at the distance.

Then, as if looking into the void, he spoke with a voice like thunder: "Proceed exactly according to the original plan. You four shall set up ambushes in the four directions: east, south, west, and north."

"That red cloud just now has attracted countless guests; these fellows attempt to seize the treasure here."

"Therefore, naturally, we cannot let them have their way. Moreover, you several must find a way to eliminate these fellows for me."

"Among them is one who seems to carry the scent of a snake's foot; you must bring him alive to me."

After hearing the Resentful Dragon God King's words, the four Great Guardians dared not disobey, for they understood what kind of great power they faced.

The mission of the four Great Guardians was to protect the Resentful Dragon God King and help him resolve all problems.

And to ensure that when facing risks, they possessed the strength to fight, doing their utmost to achieve the revival of their race.

This was the most fundamental goal, not creating more trouble.

Therefore, thinking of this, their eyes were filled with extreme caution.

But just at this moment, the Fourth Great Guardian suddenly seemed to think of something, then spoke, saying,

"Your Majesty, the Great Void Ancient Dragon Clan has issued a declaration of war to us, ordering us to evacuate this world as soon as possible."

"And they have issued an ultimatum; it is said that the Dragon God King gave the order, commanding us to leave this world immediately."

"Our previous actions must have been discovered by them, which is why they are targeting us everywhere."

"Your Majesty, how should we proceed next? Please, Your Majesty, give clear instructions."

Upon hearing these words, the Resentful Dragon God King's face grew even more gloomy.

If not for the exclusion they suffered from the Dragon Clan, how could they have endured such great humiliation?

Therefore, no matter what, he could not swallow the bitterness in his heart.
