Chapter 1007: The Oak King Falls, the Mingcang King Takes Action (First Update, seeking votes)

Boom—

During the pursuit, dull claps of thunder suddenly rang out, echoing in all directions. A long, blood-colored rainbow spanned the sky, accompanied by a light, drizzling blood-colored rain that blanketed a radius of ten thousand miles.

This was the omen of a King's fall!

On the outskirts of the Dai Kingdom, those Kings waiting for the outcome all wore grave expressions and hurriedly cast their consciousness into the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings.

In the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, a Throne on the third tier suddenly dimmed, and then it shifted to the position of the deceased King.

On this Throne, the characters for "Oak King" were inscribed, and the once-shining characters had now completely dimmed.

This inevitably exceeded the expectations of most Kings. In their view, even though Li Zhangsheng was exceptionally brilliant, he was facing the Dark Night King after all, and it was highly likely he would face more misfortune than good. As it turned out, the first to fall was the Oak King, who had come to assist the Dark Night King.

Clearly, they needed to re-evaluate Li Zhangsheng's strength.

Aixi was extremely fast, but the Champion Roc under Dou Cangqiong was no slower.

Upon discovering that Li Zhangsheng was pursuing, the Champion Roc's speed surged violently, not at all inferior to Aixi's White Tiger Transformation Rainbow Technique.

This was the Roc bloodline inheritance skill, Instant Ten Thousand Miles, famous throughout the world for its instantaneous explosive power.

Seeing that he could not shake off Li Zhangsheng and that the Champion Roc under him had sustained heavy injuries, it was bound to be difficult to sustain.

Under these circumstances, Dou Cangqiong hardened his heart, finally made up his mind, and rushed toward the location of the Mingcang King.

Li Zhangsheng pursued relentlessly; he could naturally see that the Champion Roc was in poor condition, so how could he let go of the opportunity to cut weeds and eliminate the roots?

In just a few breaths' time, Dou Cangqiong finally saw the Mingcang King and immediately shouted, "Mingcang King, this seat is willing to join the banner of the Xuan Emperor!"

There were no superfluous words, because Dou Cangqiong knew the Xuan Emperor's ambitions very well. Now that the Xuan Emperor's strength was difficult to advance further, her energy was placed on cultivating forces.

However, due to the vast gap in foundation, although the Xuan Emperor had gathered a group of independent Kings, the number of Double-Character Kings could be counted on one hand. In this regard, she was not only far inferior to the other two Emperors but even inferior to some Emperors with long-standing legacies.

Therefore, if a veteran Double-Character King defected, the Xuan Emperor would certainly not let this opportunity slip by.

"Mingcang King, are you not afraid of causing enmity between the Emperors?"

"Qingmu King, you cannot represent the Human Emperor, let alone all the Kings!"

The Mingcang King's voice was cold. In truth, she did not want to do such a thankless task from the bottom of her heart, but this was not something her will could decide, because before she came, the Xuan Emperor had given her instructions.

If the Dark Night King wins, congratulate!

If the Dark Night King loses, watch!

If the Dark Night King defects, assist!

It was a very brief instruction; the Xuan Emperor doing this was nothing more than for the sake of profit.

A veteran Double-Character King, even if his combat power had plummeted, could not be denied that he was still a Double-Character King, far from what ordinary Kings could compare to. This could boost the Xuan Emperor's momentum to a certain extent.

As for offending the Human Emperor, how could the Xuan Emperor think that Li Zhangsheng or Luo Yuanjun could represent the Human Emperor? It was likely difficult to influence the Human Emperor's decisions.

To take a step back, the Human Emperor's lifespan was nearing its end, and it was highly probable that this would not trigger disputes with other Emperors.

However, the reason the Mingcang King did not want to save the Dark Night King was, firstly, it was easy to fall into enmity with Luo Yuanjun and Li Zhangsheng—both Luo Yuanjun and Li Zhangsheng were existences that gave her a headache; secondly, the Xuan Emperor's resources were nearly infinite, but high-tier resources were limited after all. If Dou Cangqiong defected to the Xuan Emperor, the resources that originally belonged to her might be shared out.

The Mingcang King had also thought about holding back and letting Dou Cangqiong fall under the hands of Li Zhangsheng or Luo Yuanjun, but she dared not take that risk, because she knew the Xuan Emperor possessed a precious mirror that could monitor the world.

Unless interfered with by Breath Concealment-type Restrictions or powerful Forbidden Arrays, the situation happening here would not escape the Xuan Emperor's eyes.

"Each serving their own master, I have no choice. I ask the Qingmu King to give me some face!"

Under these circumstances, the Mingcang King hesitated slightly and had no choice but to stand up.

"Face? When have you ever given this seat face? Enough talk, let us see the truth in our hands!"

Luo Yuanjun was so angry he laughed; this Mingcang King was truly shameless.

Of course, he also cared very much about face. Not to mention the friendship between Li Zhangsheng and him, just speaking of the current situation, if he did not act now, his prestige would inevitably plummet in the future, and his subordinates and friends would wonder what they thought of him.

Even if he feared the Mingcang King's strength, Luo Yuanjun could not afford not to fight.

The next moment, massive Secret Realm Phantoms floated above the heads of the two top-tier Double-Character Kings.

The area of their two Secret Realms was even larger than the Dark Night King's by thirty percent, both reaching the standard of a Blessed Land.

In an instant, one Spirit Beast after another rushed out from the two Blessed Lands.

However, there was no appearance of a large number of wild, powerful Spirit Beasts like dragons or hydras. After all, this was not a life-and-death battle; the two top-tier Double-Character Kings still knew how to measure their actions, otherwise, regardless of victory or defeat, there would inevitably be huge losses.

No matter which world it is, profit always comes first!

A large number of Spirit Beasts began to fight in pairs, but if one observed carefully, one would find that they were not dealing killing blows.

Even so, Luo Yuanjun inevitably fell into a disadvantage.

Although both of them only had four Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts, as a descendant of the Xuan Emperor, the overall quality of the Mingcang King's Spirit Beasts was slightly superior to Luo Yuanjun's, which was why this situation appeared.

At this time, Dou Cangqiong was about to approach the Mingcang King.

Because the Champion Roc was extremely weak, the distance between the two sides had been closed significantly.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng sprayed a mouthful of Spirit Essence onto the Pocket Golden Bridge again, his expression becoming a bit paler; after this battle, he would likely need to recuperate for a short period.

But as long as he killed Dou Cangqiong, all of this was worth it; after all, the collection of a veteran Double-Character King could absolutely not be measured by wealth.

Li Zhangsheng immediately threw out the Pocket Golden Bridge, and the Golden Bridge, spanning tens of thousands of meters, appeared once again.

Aixi immediately rushed onto the Golden Bridge, and brilliant golden light erupted, appearing at the end of the Golden Bridge in an instant.

At this moment, the distance between Li Zhangsheng and Dou Cangqiong was only a few hundred meters.

The Mingcang King looked at the Golden Bridge strangely; her reaction was not slow, and she immediately commanded a Saint Grade Spirit Pet, the Great Sun Fire Crow, to take Dou Cangqiong away.

Even with one less Saint Grade Spirit Pet, the Mingcang King still occupied a slight upper hand.

At this time, a bell appeared above Luo Yuanjun's head, emitting a crisp "ding-a-ling" sound.

Miraculously, even at a distance of ten thousand miles, members of the Human Emperor Mansion within range could still hear it.

This was like a signal, and nearly ten members of the Human Emperor Mansion within a ten-thousand-mile range rushed toward Luo Yuanjun's direction one after another.

When Kings travel, there must be strange phenomena, and the members of the Human Emperor Mansion did not restrain themselves at all, which also made the Mingcang King's expression change slightly, her face full of resentment; this time, she had not brought so many subordinates.

Is having more people so impressive!
