Chapter 337
The young woman was one of the Five Great Elders of the Yin-Yang School, holding the position of Elder of the Wood Department, an existence hailed as "Shao Shao Siming."
And that woman was her peer among the Five Great Elders, holding the position of Elder of the Fire Department, known as "Da Shao Siming."
"... This is how the matter stands." Da Shao Siming's voice was full of charm; she licked her seductive red lips and said, "That Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea has emerged from nowhere, stirring the winds and clouds of the world. Even the Wang Fu of Northern Liang dares to openly declare war. His ambition and strength must not be underestimated."
"My Lord Dong Huang has issued an order, commanding us to send someone to Northern Liang to probe the reality of that dragon."
"To see whether he is enemy or friend, and whether he poses a threat to our Yin-Yang School, or even to the grand cause of unifying the entire Great Qin Empire."
"This matter is of great importance; an Elder must go personally."
Upon hearing this, Shao Shao Siming fell silent for a moment, not uttering a single word.
Her beautiful eyes, hidden beneath the light gauze, shimmered with an inexplicable light, as if pondering something.
In the end, she merely nodded lightly, accepting the task.
Then she turned and left, transforming into a stream of purple light that, like drifting leaves, vanished within the great hall.
Clearly, she had decided to go to Northern Liang personally to meet that legendary Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea.
The hegemony of Great Qin cannot afford failure; any potential threat must be crushed in its cradle.
In an instant, the entire world, countless Wu Lin wanderers, and countless forces moved upon hearing the news!
They surged from all directions toward the Northern Liang region on the northwestern frontier!
Some came to watch the spectacle, to witness the grandeur of a once-in-a-lifetime great battle.
Some came to see the strong, seeking an opportunity for breakthrough.
Some came to fish in troubled waters, to see if they could snatch some benefits from this great chaos.
And some came... for revenge!
Years ago, Northern Liang Wang Xu Xiao trampled the Wu Lin, and in paving the way for heir Xu Feng, he had offended countless Wulinmen Sects and Wu Lin heroes.
Those survivors whose Manmen had been exterminated or whose family foundations had been seized had spent these years hiding and scraping by.
Now, hearing that the Wang Fu of Northern Liang faces great disaster, they naturally would not miss this opportunity to kick a man when he is down and avenge their grievances.
They gathered one after another, like hyenas in the dark night, preparing to deliver a fatal stab to Northern Liang amidst the great battle between the Wang Fu of Northern Liang and the Dragon Lord!
Of course, there were also Wu Lin forces that had once received favors from the Wang Fu of Northern Liang or were on good terms with Northern Liang.
Upon learning the news, they too dispatched experts from their Men Sects to come and assist, wishing to share the fate of the Wang Fu of Northern Liang.
In an instant, the entire Wang Fu of Northern Liang was in turmoil, a mix of dragons and snakes, with forces from all sides gathering, turning into a chaotic mess.
An unprecedented great storm was furiously brewing over this land of iron and blood.
Inside the Wang Fu of Northern Liang, at the peak of Mount Qingliang.
Xu Xiao, Cloaked in heavy armor and with hair turned white overnight, upon hearing the war declaration that Brother Ning Chuan had proclaimed to the world,
felt not fear but rage, and from extreme rage, laughter!
"Hahaha! Good! Very good!"
"What a Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea! What a domineering demon dragon!"
"Daring to issue a war declaration to this King?! Daring to make this King bow his head and beg for forgiveness?!"
"This King wants to see, 5.4, you little loach, what heavenly powers you possess to be so arrogant!"
The killing intent in his eyes almost became solid, condensing into ice!
He immediately issued military orders, commanding the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered to form a net of heaven and earth centered on Mount Qingliang!
Guarding the entire Wang Fu of Northern Liang as tightly as an iron bucket!
Various large war machines, such as city-breaking crossbows, trebuchets, and even some terrifying mechanisms found in ancient texts specifically designed to counter martial arts experts, were all arranged in place!
He intended to fight a life-and-death battle with that demon dragon on his own territory!
He intended to use the blood of that demon dragon to wash away the shame of his Northern Liang!
To use its head to pay tribute to the spirits of his children in the heavens!
He wanted the entire world to know that he, Xu Xiao, King of Northern Liang, cannot be insulted! Northern Liang, even more so, cannot be insulted!
Time slowly passed in this atmosphere of drawn swords and the gaze of the multitude.
Seven days, not long, not short.
But for the entire world, these seven days seemed exceptionally long and agonizing.
As if every minute and every second was filled with tension and oppression.
In the blink of an eye, the seven days had passed.
This was the day Brother Ning Chuan had previously rumored he would personally arrive at Northern Liang to bloodily cleanse the Wang Fu!
On this day, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Around Mount Qingliang, crowds had already gathered, with tens of thousands of Wu Lin wanderers from all corners of the world assembled.
They had surrounded the entire Mount Qingliang so tightly that not even water could pass through.
Yet no one dared to easily approach the Wang Fu, which was filled with an aura of grimness.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the arrival of that legendary Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea!
Waiting for the start of that impending once-in-a-lifetime battle, one that would determine the future landscape of the world!
The gaze of the multitude!
Shocking the entire world!
