Chapter 356 Taking Action
An ordinary residential building.
roof.
The two brothers, Qi Sheng and Qi Wei, were waiting there.
suddenly.
A tall figure appeared behind them, and the two immediately turned around.
"Greetings, General."
"how?"
"Just as the general predicted, the Azure Dragon Envoy summoned my brother and me to check on Dongfang Baichen's injuries."
"Moreover, the Azure Dragon Envoy promised that after the matter is accomplished, we can borrow our method of cultivating the soul to take a look."
The tall figure chuckled softly, his voice tinged with coldness and a hint of sarcasm.
"A method for cultivating the soul?"
"The Azure Dragon Envoy has even lost the Azure Dragon Divine Stele. What use is his method of cultivating the divine soul?"
The two brothers, Qi Sheng and Qi Wei, were startled.
"General, what do you mean by this?"
The tall figure said, "You don't need to know. Just do as agreed with the Azure Dragon Envoy. I will have others assist you. If Dongfang Baichen is really injured, hmph..."
The sound disappeared, and the tall figure vanished.
"Big brother, what should we do?" Qi Wei asked, realizing that things were not so simple.
Qi Sheng frowned and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. If things don't look good, we'll retreat."
......
midnight.
Undercurrents are swirling in Kyoto Prefecture.
A typical private kitchen.
Inside a private room.
There were six people in total, five men and one woman.
"Second Grandpa, what are we waiting for?"
The old man said, "Lina, we are waiting for the people from the Tianlang Empire."
"Wait for them? What are we waiting for them for?"
The old man said, "Let's wait for them to make their move."
"Minister Yin, if the Tianlang Empire and the Xuanwu Empire truly join forces, should we offer our assistance?"
The old man was Yin Zong, a member of the Yin family of the Vermilion Bird Empire, and the woman next to him was his granddaughter, Yin Linna.
The other four are all commanders of the Vermilion Bird Army, and all possess the strength of the Eighth Realm.
Yin Zongdao said, "We'll just deliver the Soul Cleansing Grass as a way of repaying Dongfang Hao's favor. We don't care about anything else, and we can't care about anything else anyway. More than ten powerful people have passed by us tonight."
Yin Zong's meaning was clear: their location had been exposed, and someone had been watching their movements.
These people are definitely not from Great Xia, because both the Dongfang family and Great Xia know their purpose in coming; they are friends, not enemies.
Therefore, those people could only be from the Tianlang Empire or the Xuanwu Empire.
"Alright, we'll do as Minister Yin says. But I wonder how the Great Xia and the Dongfang family will handle this matter."
Do you think a fight will break out?
"I don't think so, this is Kyoto Prefecture."
indeed so.
This is equivalent to someone launching an attack on the Vermilion Bird Imperial City from within the Vermilion Bird Prefecture. Even if there were forty or fifty eighth-realm experts, or even double that number, it wouldn't work.
"But wasn't it said that General Ye Sinan of Tianlang was also coming?"
"Now that Dongfang Baichen is injured, who can be Ye Sinan's match?"
Dongfang Baichen of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ye Sinan, the Grand General of the Tianlang Empire, and the Vermilion Bird Empress of the Vermilion Bird Empire are recognized as the three top powerhouses on Blue Star.
Dongfang Baichen and Ye Sinan sparred more than once. Although the outcome was never revealed, everyone guessed that Dongfang Baichen had won.
Because Ye Sinan isn't the kind of person who keeps a low profile, if he had won, the news would have already leaked out.
As for Empress Suzaku, she rarely takes action and is a generation younger than the other two, so Dongfang Baichen is generally considered the strongest.
Yin Zong shook his head. "I don't know. Actually, I always felt..."
"Minister, what's bothering you?"
"I always felt that this matter was not so simple. I have met Dongfang Baichen a few times, and he is a very cautious person."
Yin Lina blinked and asked, "Second Grandfather, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, if Dongfang Baichen has cultivated a divine soul, he should keep a low profile and keep the fewest people who know about it as much as possible. Why is it like this now, with everyone knowing about it?" Yin Zong couldn't understand it.
"Didn't the Dongfang family borrow a treasure from our Vermilion Bird Empire to heal the soul? This means they're out of options."
Yin Zong glanced at his granddaughter and sighed, "Lina, you're still young. Remember, when dealing with the people of Daxia, you have to be careful."
"With the resources of the Great Xia Dynasty, how could it not even have a treasure that can heal the soul?"
"Maybe it won't be enough," Yin Lina said. "The relationship between Great Xia and the Azure Dragon Temple isn't good, so we definitely won't get any treasures."
"Then we're just missing this one Soul-Purifying Grass?"
Yin Zong thought for a moment and then said, "If Dongfang Baichen's soul is truly injured, the more soul-healing treasures he needs, the better."
"The Dongfang family's request for help from our Vermilion Bird Empire feels like they're not important to me. We were the ones who took the initiative to deliver the Soul Cleansing Grass today. If the situation were truly urgent, there should have been someone waiting for us as soon as we arrived in Kyoto Prefecture."
Yin Lina thought for a moment, "That seems to be true."
suddenly.
"court death!"
A furious shout rang out in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture.
Even Yoon Sō, who was located in the heart of Kyoto Prefecture, heard it.
"Um?"
"Something's up?"
Yin Lina said excitedly, "Second Grandpa, let's go quickly and go take a look."
"Where are you going?"
"Don't you know your own strength? You'd be dead before you even know how you died if you went there."
Yin Lina retorted, "I've already awakened twice and entered the fifth realm, okay?"
"You're not allowed to go either."
"Qi Heng, Zhang Wu, go and see what's going on. If a fight breaks out, don't interfere, just watch from the sidelines."
"Understood, Minister Yin."
The two took to the air and flew towards the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture.
at the same time.
In the capital city of the Great Xia Dynasty, hundreds of figures gathered in the north like shooting stars.
at this time.
At the forefront, two figures sped through the air and soon flew out of Kyoto Prefecture.
Behind them.
Several more figures were moving even faster and were about to catch up.
After that, a hundred figures appeared, flying at a similarly fast speed. This group was divided into four camps.
The Great Xia had nearly 40 people, the Tianlang Empire had 30, the Xuanwu Empire had 20, and the Zhuque Empire had 2.
......
Inside the private dining room of a private restaurant.
Yin Zong looked at the young man in front of him with a solemn expression. He had no idea how the young man had appeared.
"Who are you?"
"Xiao Weiqing, what are you doing here?" Yin Lina exclaimed.
"Lina, do you know her?" Yin Zong was quite surprised that his granddaughter knew this person.
Yin Lina nodded and said, "Second Grandfather, don't you remember? I told you before that this person awakened twice and broke through to the fifth realm in less than half a year after entering the training camp."
Are you sure?
Yin Zong's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"Of course, what's wrong?"
"His current strength is at least at the seventh realm, or even higher!"
"What?!?!"
Yin Lina was dumbfounded. She had no idea how strong Xiao Weiqing was; she only knew that he was definitely stronger than her.
Xiao Weiqing smiled and said, "Yin Lina, it's been a long time."
"Junior Xiao Weiqing greets Elder Master Yin."
Yin Zong nodded and asked, "Young man, what brings you here?"
