The Black Dragon flying carriage, however, did not slow its speed, continuing to fly rapidly toward the heart of City of Bifang.
The city’s guards dared not stop it.
Not only did they not stop it, but they actually bowed respectfully toward the flying carriage in the sky until it disappeared from sight, clearly recognizing this carriage.
The Black Dragon flying carriage flew straight to a magnificent palace in the deep reaches of the Imperial Palace, before finally descending slowly.
This palace, known as “Minghua Palace,” was a place within the South Qin Imperial Palace specifically used to entertain honorable guests.
At this moment, Minghua Palace was filled with peace and joy, with lavishly dressed dancers performing gracefully mid-air, their movement fluid as they twirled and stepped lightly, their colorful sleeves flying like flowing light, their poses breathtaking in beauty.
The lively sound of music accompanied by sultry voices echoed through the palace, enhancing the romantic atmosphere.
At the head of the hall, the Demon Lord Xietong, like a porcelain doll, sat boldly on a low chair, sipping wine leisurely while enjoying the song and dance.
“Your Majesty, do you think the matter of waging war between nations could be postponed?” Emperor Yuan You, dressed in his imperial robes, sat beside him, pouring wine with sleeves gathered, his tone slightly ingratiating, “In the past, when a war between nations began, wouldn’t we prepare for dozens or even hundreds of years first? If we start hastily, and the preparations are severely lacking, it won’t be good if something goes wrong. Furthermore, the strength of Da Qian’s Mysterious Armor Army is not to be underestimated, not to mention Old Man Longchang whose lifespan is nearing its end. If he chooses to go down with us all, it’ll be difficult for us too.”
Demon Lord Xietong, holding his wine glass, replied indifferently, “A mere Transcendent Void Realm Early Stage, what are you afraid of? When I have completed the matter at hand, dealing with a Transcendent Void Realm Early Stage trash will still be an easy task.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan You’s youthful face couldn’t help but show distress.
These were easy words to say.
If everything went smoothly, and the Demon Lord Xietong and his comrades truly found the relics of Blood Venerate and were in a joyful mood, they might take care of their two nations for a while, but if something went wrong, he didn’t believe that the Demon King would still be responsible for their aftermath. By then, both Da Qin and West Jin would be stuck in an unwinnable situation, unable to end the war between nations.
As they spoke, the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess’s swaying figure appeared in the hall.
With a light step, her form shifted from solid to ethereal, and then from ethereal back to solid, instantly appearing beside the Demon Lord Xietong, and curtsying to him.
Demon Lord Xietong had long sensed the might of the Black Dragon and was naturally not surprised by her arrival.
He waved her to sit down, then spoke, “You previously sent a message saying you had good news for me, what is it?”
“I came because I intended to inform my senior that the disciple I sent managed to infiltrate the enemy successfully, and we can now officially begin the search,” the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess smiled bewitchingly, “However, on the way here, I received another piece of good news. There’s word on the relics of Blood Venerate you are looking for!”
“Oh?” Demon Lord Xietong was startled, then overjoyed, “We have news so soon?”
“Yes,” the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess caressed her red hair, her voice as soothing as honey, “It was a coincidence. The family my disciple infiltrated has properties nearby, and they fortuitously discovered a ruin. Although I have yet to verify it personally, the major ruins within the Dagan Realm are currently in the hands of the Imperial Household and Lingyun Holy Ground. The high-level ruins that can still be discovered now, other than the relics of Blood Venerate, I can’t think of any.”
“Of course, there’s a possibility it isn’t. But this is a matter of great importance; it’s better to kill wrongly than let go. Even if it turns out not to be, seizing it for ourselves is still beneficial.”
“Indeed. Better to kill wrongly than let go,” Demon Lord Xietong nodded, his eyes flashing sharply, “With a high-level ruin manifesting, it will definitely attract the attention of those two from Da Qian in the Transcendent Void Realm. We have no time to lose and must seize the ruin before they discover it.”
He then looked toward Emperor Yuan You at his side, “Yuan You, issue the order now, start the war between nations immediately. Make sure you attract the attention of both Longchang and Jiang Zhencang.”
“I…”
Emperor Yuan You suffocated for a moment.
So his lowly imploring had all been in vain?
“Hmm? Do you have any objection?”
Demon Lord Xietong squinted at him, his robes rustling as a terrifying pressure surged out from him, chilling and incisive, with a penetrating scent of blood, as if a single wrong word would lead to instant slaughter.
Emperor Yuan You’s face paled, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead instantly. He quickly begged for mercy, “Yes, Your Excellency! I will go and arrange it at once!”
Damn it! How could he have forgotten that this Demon Lord Xietong was not someone to be trifled with?
He dared not linger any longer, and after speaking, he immediately rose and excused himself from Minghua Palace, preparing to contact Emperor Yan Qing of West Jin. Even if the war between nations had to be started immediately, he wouldn’t be the only unlucky one—Yan Qing, that old fellow, couldn’t escape either! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
After he had left, Demon Lord Xietong also stood up.
Under the bright lights of Minghua Palace, the blood glow surrounding him grew thicker and thicker, gradually engulfing his entire figure.
After a moment, the blood glow dissipated.
In front of the chair appeared two identical figures, both dainty and exquisite, both pure as snow, both exuding sky-reaching blood aura.
“My true body will stay here to oversee Yuan You starting the war between nations, while my avatar will go with you to Da Qian. We need to move as fast as possible and seize the relics of Blood Venerate before they know what hit them.”
Both figures spoke in unison, and then one of them stepped over to the Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, while the other sat back down to continue enjoying the song and dance with a wine glass in hand.
“Yes, senior.”
The Shadow Snake Demonic Princess was clearly accustomed to this, bowed her head in acknowledgement, and joined Demon Lord Xietong’s avatar in the Black Dragon flying carriage they had arrived in.
Soon, the carriage took off, speeding toward Da Qian.
The howling dragon might stirred the high-altitude clouds, causing a flurry of movements.
It was as if foretelling a great tempest that was about to sweep through and engulf Da Qian.
