Chapter 883: Three Flowers Gather at the Crown (First update, requesting everything)

Luo Qingning had no offspring and had raised Luo Xiaoman entirely as if she were her own granddaughter; hearing her plea, she could not help but feel a bit of hesitation.

Not only that, seeing Dou Zhangsheng openly frame the loyal and righteous, it would be a lie to say Luo Qingning was not disheartened.

Even so, the situation remained tense, and every move Luo Qingning made could change the situation at any moment.

Sun Min saw Luo Qingning's hesitation and knew it was time for her to step in; although from a standpoint of interest Sun Min wished for Li Zhangsheng to fall, she chose to keep her word and would certainly persist in fulfilling the promise she had made.

"Qingning, why don't both sides take a step back? You can just find a place to spar!"

Sun Min's telepathic message was like the final straw that broke the camel's back, causing Luo Qingning to lean toward neutrality once again.

"Principal Xu, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I will give you at most a quarter of an hour. Once the time is up, I will head to the Imperial Palace. If you continue to obstruct me then, don't blame me for being impolite."

A Monarch also cares about face; if she were to remain entangled with four Pseudo-Kings for too long, it would damage Luo Qingning's reputation.

"Understood, many thanks to the Butterfly King for your consideration!"

Xu Wenhua exchanged silent glances with the three Vice Principals and finally chose to agree.

As for what would happen after a quarter of an hour if Li Zhangsheng had not yet emerged, Xu Wenhua would take the initiative to confront Luo Qingning to buy more time for Li Zhangsheng, though the scene would surely be tragic by then.

Soon, Luo Qingning brought Xu Wenhua and the others to a desolate spot in the suburbs.

Both sides began to release their Demon Pets to engage in battle; it looked intense on the surface, but in reality, there would be no losses.

However, the strength displayed by Xu Wenhua and the other three was still somewhat beyond Luo Qingning's expectations.

If they really fought, Luo Qingning had the confidence of certain victory, but defeating them would not only require time but likely also a certain price, as the gap in strength between the two sides was not very large.

While both sides entered the sparring phase, Xu Wenhua secretly used a communication tool to transmit what was happening here to Li Zhangsheng.

In the Yecheng Imperial Palace, with Chongming Hall as the center, a radius of over ten miles had almost turned into ruins; this was even with the Forbidden Array and Restrictions fully activated, otherwise, it would have been even more severe.

The aftermath of the battle between Demon Saint-level and Demon King-level Demon Pets was simply too strong; ordinary Forbidden Arrays and Restrictions could not hold up for long.

As the battle intensified, the area being destroyed was rapidly increasing; if it continued, the Imperial Palace would likely need to be rebuilt after the war.

Upon receiving Xu Wenhua's message, Li Zhangsheng understood that there was not much time left for him and he had to finish the battle quickly, otherwise, once Luo Qingning joined the battlefield, he would have no choice but to run.

"I didn't want to use it, but there's no other way!"

Li Zhangsheng sighed inwardly; he still held two or three trump cards in his hand, but he had to play one now.

As Li Zhangsheng's intent stirred, a Jade Bottle appeared out of thin air.

At the same time, having received the order, Bai Tian temporarily abandoned its opponent and flew in front of Li Zhangsheng in the blink of an eye.

Clatter—

The Jade Bottle shattered instantly, and a three-colored Alchemical Pill composed of green, cyan, and blue colors shot out and was swallowed by Bai Tian in one gulp.

This was a top-tier Alchemical Pill—the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown Pill—which could allow a Demon Pet to temporarily evolve; it could only be maintained for a short period, and there would be a period of weakness afterward, but it was only effective on Demon Pets of species below the Sovereign rank.

In other words, the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown Pill was ineffective on Demi-God Beasts like Aixi and Kailan; it was best used on Demon Pets of the Monarch species.

Among Li Zhangsheng's Demon King-level Demon Pets, only Bai Tian, Hei Ye, and Xier Yasina met the requirements.

Due to the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote connection, as long as Bai Tian took the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown Pill, Hei Ye would also undergo changes.

In this way, one Three Flowers Gather at the Crown Pill was equivalent to two, allowing both cats to temporarily evolve to the next stage; with the tacit understanding between the two cats, their strength would surely be terrifying.

When Bai Tian swallowed the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown Pill, Dou Zhangsheng felt a strong sense of unease.

After becoming a Monarch, one's sixth sense is greatly enhanced; although it cannot predict the future, if a crisis is encountered, it can often be anticipated in advance.

However, Dou Zhangsheng had exhausted all his trump cards, and apart from consuming Mental Power to cast a Secret Technique, he was at his wit's end.

The next moment, three flowers appeared above Bai Tian's head, and it was immediately enveloped by the Jianhua Bai Guang, its momentum rising significantly.

When Bai Tian swallowed the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown Pill, Hei Ye also retreated; as for the gap they left behind, it was naturally filled by four Demon King-level Temporary Spirit Pets, which barely managed to hold on.

In an instant, Hei Ye was also enveloped by the Jianhua Bai Guang.

Seeing this change, a look of horror and despair appeared in Dou Zhangsheng's eyes; Bai Tian and Hei Ye were already so powerful before evolving, so what would they be like after evolving?

Without hesitation, Dou Zhangsheng hurriedly had the fastest Dark Undying Golden Peng King and the Falling Snow Ice Pigeon break free from their entanglements and rush toward Bai Tian and Hei Ye respectively, wanting to kill them before they finished their transformation.

Li Zhangsheng naturally could not watch them attack Bai Tian and Hei Ye; his transformed Giant form opened fifty mouths, all simultaneously spraying out beams of light that, like a fishing net, covered the Dark Undying Golden Peng King and the Falling Snow Ice Pigeon.

Even though the Dark Undying Golden Peng King and the Falling Snow Ice Pigeon were extremely fast, it was still impossible for them to avoid such a dense offensive.

Just at this moment, Dou Zhangsheng controlled the Sun Command to spray a Solar True Fire Pillar, rushing toward the closer Hei Ye.

At the critical moment, Li Zhangsheng's intent stirred, and the Eight-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform and the Taiyin Token landed above Hei Ye's head first, with rich starlight and moonlight pouring down to protect it from all sides.

In an instant, the Solar True Fire Pillar landed on the moonlight, and the two reacted violently; they stalemated for a moment before the moonlight dissipated first, and the remaining Solar True Fire Pillar landed on the Starlight Barrier.

The Starlight Barrier finally managed to resist it, but its own power was also greatly damaged.

The Sun Command was not stronger than the Taiyin Token; the reason it was so aggressive was simply because Dou Zhangsheng's rank was higher, allowing him to exert greater power from the Sun Command.

"The Taiyin Token!"

Dou Zhangsheng stared fixedly at the Taiyin Token, his eyes filled with surprise and Greed; holding the Sun Command, he had naturally spent a lot of effort searching for the Taiyin Token, but unfortunately, there had never been any news of it.

Who would have thought the Taiyin Token was in Li Zhangsheng's hands? This made Dou Zhangsheng furious while also filling him with Greed.

The Sun Command and the Taiyin Token could be combined into the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel, which was the Dao-Achieving Item of the Underworld King back then; once combined, it reached the level of a Purple Mansion Rare Treasure, with power more than ten times greater than a single Sun Command or Taiyin Token.

On the other side, seeing they could not avoid it, the Dark Undying Golden Peng King and the Falling Snow Ice Pigeon simultaneously released a large amount of energy, colliding with the numerous beams of light.

Boom—

Accompanied by the sound of an explosion, a ring-like energy tide spread rapidly; the Dark Undying Golden Peng King and the Falling Snow Ice Pigeon endured the impact of the energy tide and forcibly charged forward, separating by a distance along the way.

Time waits for no one; at this moment, Bai Tian and Hei Ye's evolution had reached its final stage.

"I don't believe you can still stop us!"

Dou Zhangsheng shifted his position slightly and once again poured a large amount of Mental Power into the Sun Command, spraying out a second Solar True Fire Pillar.

In this way, Dou Zhangsheng and his two Demon King-level Demon Pets attacked simultaneously from three directions; he felt that Li Zhangsheng might be able to block one or two directions, but he definitely could not block attacks from three directions.
