Chapter 998: Li Zhangsheng's Contingency (Second update, requesting everything)

Hurricane Fortress!

"Profound Emperor! Mingcang King!"

After receiving the long-distance sound transmission from Luo Yuanjun, Li Zhangsheng frowned; while he remained calm on the surface, he was cursing internally.

Fortunately, he had not pinned his hopes on Luo Yuanjun, otherwise, the entire plan would likely have been stillborn.

However, Li Zhangsheng deeply remembered the Profound Emperor and Mingcang King; if he had sufficient strength in the future, he would definitely settle the score.

This is what is called karma!

Li Zhangsheng did not take the initiative to attack, continuing to wait for the arrival of the Dark Night King with Xu Wenhua and Zhao Yuanqing, so as to avoid making the two of them too nervous.

Zhao Yuanqing was not particularly nervous, as he was a man facing death, but he was worried that if this defense failed, it might bring disaster to his descendants.

Xu Wenhua appeared quite nervous; after all, he was once the Principal of Yuanling Academy and had grown up listening to the stories of the Dark Night King, Dou Cangqiong. Added to that was the Dark Night King's advantage in cultivation realm, so it would be strange if he were not nervous.

Whether it is an Emperor or a Double-Character King, their travel will produce phenomena, provided they do not conceal them.

The Dark Night King and the two other Emperors had no intention of concealing anything. In an instant, purple Qi rose at the horizon, yellow clouds filled the sky, and they rushed rapidly toward Hurricane Fortress.

In less than half an hour, the Dark Night King led the two Emperors and appeared outside Hurricane Fortress, looking down at the scene below.

The garrison of Hurricane Fortress had long been moved away by Li Zhangsheng; now, apart from him, Xu Wenhua, and Zhao Yuanqing, there was no one else.

Even if Hurricane Fortress were destroyed, the Dai Kingdom would not suffer heavy losses; after all, they were just some buildings. As long as a large number of Earth Element Demon Pets were mobilized, it would not take long to complete the reconstruction.

"Li Zhangsheng, this time next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

Dou Cangqiong looked down at the scene below and locked onto Li Zhangsheng instantly, but he was still cautious enough not to enter Hurricane Fortress immediately, instead beginning to summon his Demon Pets.

The two Emperors following him, the Rage King and the Oak King, naturally followed the lead of the Dark Night King and also began to summon their Demon Pets.

This time, Dou Cangqiong had sent the Flame King, Qin Mingqing, to suppress the Twin Abyss Gate in Yuan Province.

However, although Qin Mingqing was decent, it was difficult for him to contend with two Demon Commanders.

Consequently, Dou Cangqiong had to leave three Saint Grade Spirit Pets behind to assist Qin Mingqing.

Even so, Dou Cangqiong still summoned five Saint Grade Spirit Pets, as well as his only Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet.

A Double-Character King has a total of eleven Demon Pet slots. The reason Dou Cangqiong did not summon all his Demon Pets was mainly because the remaining two had not yet reached the Saint Grade, and summoning them would easily result in injuries.

Li Zhangsheng had carefully collected information on Dou Cangqiong's Demon Pets; after all, the other party was a veteran Double-Character King famous for three or four hundred years, so it was impossible to hide the basic information of his Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the fire-red ape suspended in the air like a mountain, and his heart could not help but feel a bit heavy; that was Dou Cangqiong's only Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet—the Mountain-Burning Ape!

The Mountain-Burning Ape possessed the Vigorous Grade Bloodline of the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey and inherited many of the Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey's abilities; its combat power could be described as outstanding.

"Dou Cangqiong, if you have the ability, come down!"

Li Zhangsheng began to respond and crooked his finger at Dou Cangqiong.

As the opposing side, there was no need to maintain his usual demeanor; he would do whatever was convenient.

Although Li Zhangsheng said this, Dou Cangqiong still delayed taking action, carefully observing the layout of Hurricane Fortress.

His side seemed to have a huge advantage, but the opponent also had the home-field advantage. If he were not cautious enough, it was inevitable that he might capsize in the gutter.

As a veteran Double-Character King, Dou Cangqiong could see that several powerful Forbidden Arrays were set up in Hurricane Fortress, which was the main reason for his wariness. Moreover, Li Zhangsheng remained calm, so he must have something to rely on.

The Rage King and the Oak King did not speak, also observing the layout of Hurricane Fortress.

After a quarter of an hour, Dou Cangqiong finally felt at ease. Although he did not know which Forbidden Arrays Li Zhangsheng had set up, he could roughly analyze their power.

Dou Cangqiong could be certain that there were no top-tier Forbidden Arrays among them capable of threatening his life.

After discussing with the Rage King and the Oak King, the three formulated a preliminary battle plan and, with their Demon Pets, charged toward Li Zhangsheng and the others below in a triangular formation.

As soon as Dou Cangqiong and the others entered Hurricane Fortress, Li Zhangsheng immediately activated three Forbidden Arrays: the Seal Heaven Lock Earth, the Red Flame Burning Heaven, and the Boiling Heaven Array.

All three were high-level Forbidden Arrays. The Seal Heaven Lock Earth Forbidden Array goes without saying; the Red Flame Burning Heaven Array could significantly increase the power of Fire Element skills; and the Boiling Heaven Array was a hallucinatory Forbidden Array that could confuse the opponent's vision and sense of direction.

At the same time, Li Zhangsheng, Xu Wenhua, and Zhao Yuanqing simultaneously opened their Secret Realm entrances, and the long-awaited Demon Pets swarmed out.

Upon seeing Li Zhangsheng's lineup, Dou Cangqiong's pupils constricted. He never expected that Li Zhangsheng, who had been an Emperor for only a little over two months, would possess three and a half Saint Grade Spirit Pets. This was completely beyond Dou Cangqiong's expectations.

"This child cannot be left alive; no matter the cost, he must be left here!"

Dou Cangqiong made a ruthless decision in his heart. Li Zhangsheng's speed of improvement made his scalp tingle. He highly doubted whether the other party would have the ability to contend with him if given a few more months.

At this moment, the two sides were only a thousand meters apart, and it looked like they would enter attack range in a few breaths.

What puzzled Dou Cangqiong and the others was that Li Zhangsheng did not close his Secret Realm entrance like Xu Wenhua and Zhao Yuanqing.

Before they could think too much, a beautiful figure flew out from Li Zhangsheng's Secret Realm; it was Ning Bizhen.

At the same time, two more figures rushed out from the backyard of Li Zhangsheng's palace: Xiang Yutian and Zuo Qiulin. He had been within the range of the Strengthened Breath-Concealing Restriction just now, so he had not been noticed.

"How is this possible!"

Feeling the aura emitted by the three, Dou Cangqiong and the others were clearly shocked.

Xu Wenhua and Zhao Yuanqing were also greatly shocked, as they had also been kept in the dark by Li Zhangsheng, but what followed was excitement. Now that there were three more Emperors, their confidence suddenly surged.

It turned from three-on-three to six-on-three.

After trading with Li Zhangsheng, Xiang Yutian had rushed back to the Kailing Empire and finally succeeded in breaking through to become an Emperor.

As for Zuo Qiulin, Li Zhangsheng had secretly summoned him back to the Dai Kingdom three days ago, given him three jars of Zhujian Spirit Essence and one jar of Red Phoenix Spirit Essence, and used Luo Yuanjun's channels to send Zuo Qiulin to the central region to attempt a breakthrough.

Thus, Zuo Qiulin successfully advanced to Emperor, and his appearance changed from that of an old man back to a middle-aged man.

Whether it was Zuo Qiulin or Xiang Yutian, Li Zhangsheng had a Heavenly Dao Contract with them, so he was not afraid of them turning against him in battle.

Among them, Xiang Yutian's Heavenly Dao Contract had smaller restrictions; if the battle situation was unfavorable, he could withdraw at any time.

Zuo Qiulin's Heavenly Dao Contract was much stricter; after all, his breakthrough resources were provided by Li Zhangsheng, so he naturally had to pay a huge price, including his freedom.
