Chapter 1326: Ancestral Green Dragon (Second update, requesting everything)
The next morning, Li Zhangsheng and Wudi led a team of Legendary Powerhouses into the Teleportation Array.
Amidst a dizzying spin, Li Zhangsheng and the others appeared in a border city of the Yasi City-State; this was also the city closest to the Dark Night Empire, and it was only three or four hundred miles away from the Dark Night Empire's royal capital.
"We respectfully welcome the arrival of our Lord!"
"We respectfully welcome His Majesty Wudi!"
As soon as they left the Teleportation Array, Mingcang King and Kun King Yan Wanling hurriedly bowed respectfully to Li Zhangsheng and Wudi.
Compared to Wudi, they appeared even more respectful toward Li Zhangsheng, looking completely convinced and submissive, with not a shred of complaint left in their hearts.
Although Mingcang King and Yan Wanling had been in the Dawn Plane during this period, due to the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, they naturally knew about the major events that had occurred in the Fairy World.
To say they were not shocked by Li Zhangsheng's feat of forcefully killing the Wuxiang King in seconds and saving Wudi would be a lie; what followed was a sense of fortune, because based on Li Zhangsheng's current combat power, he could already be called an 'Uncrowned Emperor'.
Except for not being as long-lived as an Emperor, Li Zhangsheng did not have much of a gap in other aspects, which was no wonder the Heavenly Dao would bestow such a title upon the Ten Thousand Saint King.
Most importantly, Li Zhangsheng had achieved such astonishing results at the age of 21; if he were given a few more years to develop, even if there were no vacant imperial thrones at that time, he would very likely forcefully seize one.
Imperial thrones, like Godheads, could be seized, though that was not much different from killing the other party.
Following such a master, Mingcang King and Yan Wanling felt that their future was bright, and perhaps if they performed well, they would have a chance to advance further.
Li Zhangsheng asked in a deep voice: "How is the investigation going?"
Ever since deciding to occupy the Dark Night Empire, Li Zhangsheng had let Mingcang King and Yan Wanling secretly assemble troops, while also collecting information about the Dark Night Empire, especially data regarding its Stronger.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle; besides, the Dark Night Empire was no pushover, and being too careless could lead to failure.
"According to our investigation, including the current Dark Night Elf Queen, the Dark Night Empire openly possesses three Upper Legend powerhouses, as well as 11 Middle Legend powerhouses and 38 Lower Legend powerhouses."
Regardless of the quantity or quality of the Legendary Powerhouses, the Yasi City-State and the Dark Night Empire were incomparable, with a vast difference between them.
Although in the Underdark, the Yasi City-State's territory was second only to the Dark Night Empire, there was still a huge gap in this regard, not to mention that most areas of the Yasi City-State were resource-poor and could not compare to the Dark Night Empire in terms of resources.
Not to mention the foundation, which could not compare to the Dark Night Empire.
For a long time, the Yasi City-State had given people the feeling of a snake swallowing an elephant; often, before it had time to digest, it would go to swallow an even larger elephant. Now, having just swallowed the territory of several countries, it was already eyeing the Dark Night Empire again.
This was the nature of a world with supernatural power; even if there were many hidden dangers, as long as the strength was sufficient, one could continue to implement the snake-swallowing-elephant plan.
To catch the bandits, first catch the ringleader; as long as the high-level officials of the Dark Night Empire were eliminated, the rest would naturally surrender at the sight of the wind.
Li Zhangsheng had never managed a country, nor did he have the time to manage one; as long as his subordinates handled the tasks he assigned well, that was enough.
In the end, this was the Underdark, and most races were of the chaotic evil alignment; one could not rely on them too much, as long as they were obedient, that was fine.
"It is rumored that the Dark Night Empire also supports an Ancestral Green Dragon. Additionally, the Dark Night Empire's royal family has worshipped the Spider Queen Luosi for generations; once the Dark Night Empire weakens, the Rose Church will likely provide aid."
Li Zhangsheng and Wudi exchanged glances, and both could feel a look called confidence in the other's eyes.
Based on their combined combat power, they were absolutely invincible in the Underdark; even if the Spider Queen Luosi descended, she would not be their match.
The only thing that could stop them was multiple gods descending together, but that could only protect the Dark Night Empire for a moment; God Descent had a time limit, and no matter how compatible a vessel was for a god's descent, it could not be maintained for too long.
"Continue according to the plan, move out!"
After speaking, Li Zhangsheng led everyone straight into the Dark Night Empire, flying toward the direction of the Dark Night Empire's royal capital without any concealment.
Although a sneak attack would certainly be simpler, it would not be conducive to subsequent rule; only by crushing the opponent in an upright manner could one unify the Underdark as quickly as possible and become the Dark Sovereign.
The Dark Night Empire had a deep foundation; upon seeing Li Zhangsheng and his party rushing toward the royal capital, a City Lord immediately used a special method to report the news.
In the royal capital of the Dark Night Empire, after receiving the news, the Dark Night Elf Queen did not have any thoughts of being careless; ever since the Yasi City-State became the second-largest country after the Dark Night Empire in just one year, the Dark Night Elf Queen had naturally given it enough attention.
At the first opportunity, the Dark Night Elf Queen immediately summoned the high-level officials to begin discussing defensive measures.
Although many high-level officials were already decadent and believed there was no need to pay too much attention to the Yasi City-State, under the strong pressure of the Dark Night Elf Queen, they still had to go all out.
For a time, the royal capital of the Dark Night Empire was in a state of panic, and countless powerhouses gathered in the capital from all sides.
Besides this, the Dark Night Elf Queen also specifically notified the Rose Church, hoping for aid from the Rose Church once they were unable to resist.
To avoid offending the Rose Church, the Dark Night Elf Queen did not notify other churches; besides, in her view, this alone was already enough.
There was no help for it; regarding the master of the Yasi City-State, Li Zhangsheng, the Dark Night Elf Queen had not collected much information, feeling that the other party was at most a Top Legendary powerhouse.
But even if he were a Top Legendary powerhouse, the Dark Night Elf Queen felt that this was enough to defend against him, not to mention she did not believe Li Zhangsheng would be a Top Legendary powerhouse.
It was not as if the Underdark had never produced a Top Legendary powerhouse; even the Dark Night Elf royal family had produced one once, but unfortunately, they eventually fell in the Blood War.
By the time the Dark Night Empire's royal capital was fully on alert, Li Zhangsheng and the others finally 'slowly' entered the outskirts of the royal capital.
This was a towering and magnificent city; it had to be said that although the Dark Night Elves were relatively evil, they had inherited the consistent artistic style of the Elf race. Whether it was the city or the style of the buildings, they were all focused on aesthetics, looking like pieces of art.
The next moment, the Dark Night Elf Queen personally led dozens of Legendary Powerhouses to ascend into the sky, confronting Li Zhangsheng and the others.
Roar~
In the dense forest on the outskirts of the royal capital, a massive Green Dragon led more than a dozen adult Green Dragons flying over, raising their heads to emit high-pitched Dragon Roars, cutting off the retreat of Li Zhangsheng and the others.
Li Zhangsheng, Wudi, Mingcang King, and Yan Wanling remained as steady as mountains, but on the contrary, Legendary Powerhouses like Ge Liedi were terrified by the Dragon Might, and could not help but want to retreat.
There was no help for it; even Ge Liedi did not know Li Zhangsheng's specific strength.
