Chapter 81: Two Great Ancient Kingdoms Fall, the Mysterious Young Master Behind the Scenes

"What? How could this be?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuer's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of surprise.

This news was truly beyond her expectations.

It was true that the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom was very strong, and it was indeed the leader of the four great ancient kingdoms.

However, the Bai Hu Ancient Kingdom and the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom were also extremely formidable, not much inferior to the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom.

Only the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom had seen its national strength decline year after year due to the Zhu Que Sovereign's severe injuries.

But apart from the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom, the other three ancient kingdoms should have been on roughly the same level.

It was precisely for this reason that Bai Yuer was surprised; how could the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom have the audacity to strike at the other two?

"What is the current situation?" Bai Yuer asked.

"Replying to Your Imperial Highness, it is rumored that the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom initiated the war. Their army is very strong, and it seems many mysterious experts of unknown origin have joined them."

"Such a thing actually happened?" Bai Yuer fell into deep thought.

Currently, the Zhu Que Sovereign was still in seclusion.

After obtaining the Qilin Undying Medicine and recovering from his injuries, the first thing he wanted to do was enter seclusion, hoping to use this to break through to the Sage Realm.

However, the Sage Realm was not so easily broken through.

Although the Zhu Que Sovereign had accumulated much over time and had the help of the Undying Medicine, breaking through to the Sage Realm was not something that could be done in a short while.

Up until now, the Zhu Que Sovereign had not emerged from seclusion.

The state affairs of the entire Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom had all fallen onto Bai Yuer's shoulders.

After all, it was she who had saved the Zhu Que Sovereign, so now, within the entire ancient kingdom, apart from the Zhu Que Sovereign, Bai Yuer held the greatest influence.

"Let us wait and see for now; it is not appropriate for our Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom to intervene," Bai Yuer said, waving her hand.

With the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom's current national strength, they did not have the capability to intervene either.

"Understood." The maid acknowledged and withdrew.

Bai Yuer slightly knitted her delicate brows.

"What exactly is the reason? And where did those mysterious experts helping the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom come from?"

Bai Yuer was pondering.

If she were still Watching Watching Xiao Chen's fiancée, she naturally wouldn't need to worry about such things.

But now, Bai Yuer had not only severed all ties with Watching Watching Xiao Chen, but they had also become enemies.

Under these circumstances, Bai Yuer could not help but worry that the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom might make a move against the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

"I hope I am just overthinking it." Bai Yuer rubbed her temples with her jade fingers.

But for some reason.

She felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.

……

Time flowed slowly.

Inside the Jun Clan's Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao was still in seclusion.

He was attempting to use the method from the Body Scripture to refine the bones in his body with Immortal Source.

After a full half-month, he finally refined the first bone in his body into a Great Luo Immortal Bone.

Jun Xiaoyao considered it somewhat slow, but if it were anyone else, they might not be able to refine even one Great Luo Immortal Bone in several years.

The moment the first Great Luo Immortal Bone appeared, Jun Xiaoyao felt that the bone was glowing with a golden hue, as if mysterious runes were branded upon it.

Moreover, this Great Luo Immortal Bone was in his arm; when Jun Xiaoyao threw a punch, he felt the power was several times more formidable than before.

"Not bad. Although the progress is a bit slow, there are finally results," Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.

One Great Luo Immortal Bone already had such distinct effects; what if there were a few more?

In the end, if all two hundred and six bones in his body transformed into Great Luo Immortal Bones, how powerful would he be?

Jun Xiaoyao looked forward to the Great Luo Immortal Body even more.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao continued his seclusion.

Over at the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdoms, shocking news spread once again.

The Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, with an extremely aggressive posture, had breached the gates of the Bai Hu Ancient Kingdom and the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom.

Even with the two great ancient kingdoms joining forces to resist, they were unable to withstand the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom's army.

This caused quite a stir within dozens of surrounding states.

However, this was not a war between Immortal forces after all, so the influence was limited and did not shake the entire Immortal Realm.

When Bai Yuer learned of this news, her gaze also trembled.

The unease in her heart grew even more intense.

……

Gold State, Bai Hu Ancient Kingdom, inside the imperial palace.

The Bai Hu Sovereign and the Black Tortoise Sovereign currently had slightly pale complexions and stood with their hands hanging down; it was clear they had just experienced a great battle and had suffered not-insignificant injuries.

Both of them were of the Sage Realm cultivation base, but they were currently injured, and shock remained in their pupils.

Before them, the Azure Dragon Sovereign stood indifferently.

His cultivation was also in the Sage Realm, not much higher than the two sovereigns.

But behind him were four figures shrouded in pitch-black robes.

The previous battle was precisely because of the existence of these four people, combined with the Azure Dragon Sovereign, that they had been severely injured, leading to the collapse of the two kingdoms' armies.

"Azure Dragon Sovereign, where did you hire these helpers from?" The Bai Hu Sovereign carried a faint trace of unwillingness.

If not for these four figures, he alone could have contended with the Azure Dragon Sovereign.

"Hehe, why ask so much? You only need to know that I am also working for the Young Master," the Azure Dragon Sovereign said with a faint smile.

"What?"

Hearing this, both sovereigns revealed expressions of surprise.

A dignified sovereign of a kingdom was actually working for someone else?

And judging by the address, it was a young Young Master?

The two sovereigns looked at each other, both seeing the shock and suspicion in the other's eyes.

"No need for suspicion; these four are also people of that Young Master," the Azure Dragon Sovereign said indifferently.

At this, the Bai Hu Sovereign and the Black Tortoise Sovereign felt even greater horror in their eyes.

These four Sage Realm experts were actually all people of that Young Master?

Who on earth was that Young Master?

How terrifying must his background be?

"Now, you only need to agree to two conditions."

"First, hand over one-quarter of your respective compasses."

"Second, surrender your entire kingdoms to the Young Master."

"Agree to these two conditions, and you may live!"

"Refuse, and you die!"

The Azure Dragon Sovereign's tone was cold and blunt.

Upon hearing this, the two sovereigns felt even more humiliated.

That compass was a legacy item; although its use was unknown, it was a symbol of the kingdom.

The four great ancient kingdoms each possessed one-quarter of the compass.

And surrendering the entire kingdom to that Young Master was likewise not a glorious matter.

Just as the two sovereigns were about to argue, the four pitch-black figures suddenly stepped forward.

The oppressive aura caused the words of the two sovereigns to choke in their throats, unable to be spoken.

After a long while, the two sovereigns nodded dejectedly, agreeing to the conditions.

Seeing this, the Azure Dragon Sovereign nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, following some processing, both kingdoms collectively submitted.

The Azure Dragon Sovereign, however, came to the back of the imperial palace, inside a luxurious great hall.

Inside the hall, many alluring dancing girls were dancing gracefully.

Directly above was a large bed with gauze curtains hanging down; one could vaguely see a figure leaning against several beautiful shadows.

The Azure Dragon Sovereign opened his palm, upon which lay two ancient, mottled Azure Dragon compass parts.

"Young Master, the items you wanted have been obtained," the Azure Dragon Sovereign said with a tone of respect.

From behind the gauze curtains, a powerful arm reached out, and with a grab of five fingers, he snatched the two Azure Dragon compass parts into his hand.

"Very good, Azure Dragon Sovereign, you have not disappointed this Marquis!" ===== CHAPTER 82 =====
