Chapter 82: The Mastermind

"Hehe, that goes without saying; how could I not do my utmost when working for the Young Master?" the Azure Dragon Sovereign said with a smile.

"Not bad. In this way, combined with the corner of the compass you presented to this Marquis, there are now three pieces. Next, only the last piece from the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom remains."

A voice came from behind the gauze curtains.

"The Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom? This..." The Azure Dragon Sovereign's expression was slightly hesitant.

"What? Is there a problem?" The voice sank slightly, the mood seemingly somewhat temperamental.

Sweat broke out on the Azure Dragon Sovereign's forehead, and he hurriedly replied: "Young Master, you misunderstand. If it were before, the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom indeed had some relationship with my Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom, but now, not only is there no relationship, there is even enmity."

Watching Watching Xiao Chen had been divorced by Bai Yuer, driven out of the Jun Clan in an extremely wretched state, and even his Dragon Qi had been stolen.

Naturally, the Azure Dragon Sovereign could not have any good feelings toward the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom and Bai Yuer.

It could even be considered that they had formed a feud.

"Oh? And what is the reason for that?" the voice asked.

The Azure Dragon Sovereign replied: "The Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom's Imperial Princess might have some connection with the Jun Clan's Divine Son."

"The Jun Clan's Divine Son?"

That voice also carried a trace of faint hesitation and doubt.

Nowadays in the Desolate Heaven Immortal Realm, there might not be many who have seen Within Jun Xiaoyao, but there are definitely not few who have heard of Within Jun Xiaoyao's name.

"The Jun Clan's Divine Son shouldn't care about such a small kingdom," the voice said indifferently.

"I am just reminding you, Young Master," the Azure Dragon Sovereign said.

After Jun Linglong subdued the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom previously, the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom did not publicize it.

Because, after all, this was not a very glorious matter.

So now, apart from the Zhu Que Sovereign, Bai Yuer, and the group of ministers who witnessed it with their own eyes.

Everyone else was unaware that the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom was already a force under Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Hmph, what is there to remind? Let alone whether the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom has a relationship with Within Jun Xiaoyao, even if it did, would this Marquis be afraid?"

The voice said in a tone carrying a bit of displeasure.

"That is true, that is true. Young Master is a big figure, destined to stand at the peak of the Immortal Realm in the future, overlooking all living beings," the Azure Dragon Sovereign flattered.

"Mm, knowing that is enough. Next, assemble the armies of the three kingdoms directly, attack the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom, make them surrender, and bring back the Bronze Luo Pan fragments."

"As you command," the Azure Dragon Sovereign said, cupping his hands.

"By the way, I heard that the Zhu Que Imperial Princess, Bai Yuer, is a rare beauty. When the time comes, do not hurt her; bring her to me to become this Marquis's concubine."

"Yes." The Azure Dragon Sovereign nodded, feeling lucky in his heart at the same time.

Fortunately, Bai Yuer had severed ties with Watching Watching Xiao Chen; otherwise, wouldn't this be personally cuckolding his own son?

"Rest assured, after the matter is accomplished, there will be no shortage of benefits for you. When the time comes, the four great ancient kingdoms will merge into the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom, and you will be the sole sovereign," the voice said with a light laugh.

"Thank you, Young Master!" The Azure Dragon Sovereign's eyes revealed a trace of joy.

Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

Afterwards, the Azure Dragon Sovereign took his leave.

That voice, however, muttered to itself.

"Once all four parts are collected to form the complete Bronze Luo Pan, perhaps I will be able to find traces of that Bronze Immortal Palace."

"If I can succeed, this Marquis will obtain a great opportunity. When that time comes, I will definitely have full confidence in marrying Wu Mingyue."

"Afterwards, I will enter the Panwu Mausoleum to obtain the opportunity, and then gradually control the power of the Panwu Divine Dynasty."

"Finally, I, Yang Pan, will definitely be able to stand above the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, at the peak of all living beings!"

The voice, carrying immense ambition, echoed throughout the entire palace.

……

Not many days later, the Azure Dragon Sovereign integrated the coalition army of the three kingdoms and marched toward the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

Moreover, they did not hide in the slightest, marching openly and honestly toward Fire State.

The news quickly spread back to the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

Instantly, the entire country was in a state of panic.

Having previously heard that the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom had annexed the White Tiger Ancient Kingdom and the Black Tortoise Ancient Kingdom, many ministers of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom were already feeling uneasy.

Now that the news was confirmed, it sent the entire Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom into chaos.

In terms of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom's current national strength, let alone the coalition army of three kingdoms, even if it were just the Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom alone, it would be enough to cause a life-and-death catastrophe for the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

The coalition army of three kingdoms was almost a death sentence for the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom, inside the imperial palace.

A group of ministers sought out Bai Yuer.

"Imperial Princess, please quickly send a message to the Jun Clan's Divine Son and see if he can help!"

"That's right, now that the Sovereign is in seclusion and hasn't emerged, only the Jun Clan can save our Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom!"

Many ministers in the know strongly demanded that Bai Yuer go and beg Within Jun Xiaoyao.

"Alright, ministers, do not be anxious. I will go and try," Bai Yuer said.

She was naturally anxious in her heart as well, taking out the communication jade slip to send a message to Jun Linglong.

Because she did not have a way to contact Within Jun Xiaoyao directly.

And on the Jun Clan's side, Jun Linglong also received the message.

However, currently, Within Jun Xiaoyao was still in seclusion, and it was impossible for Jun Linglong to disturb him for such a matter.

Receiving the news, Bai Yuer's heart sank slightly.

Within Jun Xiaoyao was in seclusion, and she could not notify him.

And Jun Linglong's status was far inferior to Within Jun Xiaoyao's; it was impossible for her to mobilize the Jun Clan's power to help the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

Only if Within Jun Xiaoyao personally stepped forward would there be the ability to help the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

But the problem was that he was in seclusion, and no one could disturb him.

Bai Yuer told the ministers this news.

"How could it be like this? Is it possible that Heaven wants to destroy our Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom?" Some ministers had pale complexions.

"That shouldn't be the case. The Azure Dragon Ancient Kingdom should just want us to surrender. When the time comes, we will see what their attitude is," Bai Yuer said.

Next, the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom also entered a state of preparation for war.

The various forces in the outside world did not think highly of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom.

They even believed that this was a battle of an egg striking a stone.

The result had no suspense at all; it was just a matter of time.

Of course, having such a guess was also because they did not know that the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom was already a private force of Within Jun Xiaoyao.

If they knew this point, they would definitely not have such a view.

However, in just a few short days.

The coalition army of three kingdoms had already sailed into the territory of Fire State, with their target pointing directly at the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom's imperial capital.

Along the way, all cities had no power to resist and were directly destroyed.

Most of the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom's military strength was also concentrated in the imperial capital.

Regardless of the final result, the Zhu Que Ancient Kingdom could not just sit and wait for death.

Just as the final battle of the four great ancient kingdoms was about to erupt.

Jun Clan, inside the Jun Jun Tian Di Palace.

A powerful aura was permeating, and brilliant light was rising.

Immortal radiance and mist were permeating out, making people feel as if a supreme True Immortal was sitting cross-legged inside the Jun Jun Tian Di Palace.

Outside the Jun Jun Tian Di Palace, Jun Linglong, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Zhangjian, and Jun Wanjie were all present.

Surprise and joy were also revealed in their eyes.

"The Divine Son is finally about to emerge from seclusion!" ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
