"mander Hao Tian, our Ancestor Dragon Clan has been summoned to the Primordial True Realm. I will immediately send them a message to rendezvous in the Southern Domain!"
Li Hao's deputy, Long Zhan Tian, hurriedly spoke to Li Hao.
"Alright."
"mander Shi Miao, our clan is located in the Northern Domain. The Family Head has sent a message; before his departure, he had already instructed the clan's strong ones to activate the Teleportation Array, and the clan members are teleporting to the Southern Domain!"
Su Wanyi quickly spoke to Shi Miao: "I want to go to the border to meet them first, then join the rendezvous."
"Approved."
Shi Miao nodded slightly and cautioned, "Be wary of ambush."
Su Wanyi's gaze was fierce, and she nodded.
Li Hao immediately took Shi Miao and four deputies, along with other selected and independently following individuals, and headed toward the Immortal Gate.
This Immortal Gate contained abundant energy, enough to teleport all of them out of the Abyss.
Seeing Li Hao and the group leave, others also began to take action.
Southern Domain, central region.
A group of figures stepped out from the Immortal Gate, and upon raising their eyes, they saw a majestic sight. Immortal peaks stood tall, buildings like a flock, with iridescent clouds covering the sky, and a steep mountain towering amidst the peaks.
At the mountain's summit was a suspended palace, below which was an endless staircase as far as the eye could see.
"Heavenly Palace."
Li Hao squinted slightly, realizing that the teleportation point across the Immortal Gate was not only in the Southern Domain but centrally located within it.
His Divine Sense quickly extended, with the Divine Soul Power contained in five thousand drops of True God Blood sweeping across billions of miles, detecting numerous prohibitions among the peaks. However, those prohibitions could not block his Divine Soul, and among the peaks, every cultivating or solitary figure fell within his gaze, all belonging to the Heavenly Palace.
Scenes of the past resurfaced in his mind.
The thousands of staircases demonstrated the Heavenly Palace's authority, making those here to pete against the Heavenly Palace's various Immortal Dynasties' pride of heaven only able to climb with bent posture.
"Is this really the center of the Southern Domain? Why does it feel like the presence of strong ones here is so sparse, and the immortal power so thin, weaker even than my clan's Holy Land? Is this truly where a Supreme resides?"
Long Zhan Tian glanced around and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
He was also at the Peak of Immortal King Realm, although he had been defeated by the ten True Kings, he was unmatched in the Immortal King Realm and could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Quasi-Emperor.
At this moment, his Divine Sense easily penetrated the entire Heavenly Palace, detecting only seven or eight Immortal King Realm strong ones here, less than ten in total.
Could it be that the Southern Domain's situation was as dire as their Eastern Domain, with others having already gone to the borders?
Thinking of this, his heart tightened with a sense of urgency.
Shi Miao frowned, realizing that the Supreme presence here was absent, relieving the worry she had felt. It seemed the means of the various Emperors had indeed transferred the Emperor of the entire True Realm.
Apart from the Southern Domain Venerable, even the Quasi-Emperor's presence had vanished. The number of remaining Immortal Kings here was pitifully low, and only one had reached the Perfection of Immortal King Realm.
"The Supreme..."
Cold light flickered in Shi Miao's eyes, harboring suspicions within her heart.
"What is going on?"
Dao Qingyin questioned, also noticing the strangeness here.
Li Hao said little, flying swiftly downward, and the others quickly followed.
In the Heavenly Palace, several Immortal Kings rushed out, detecting the fluctuations outside the prohibitions. Though Li Hao and others had concealed their presence, the prohibitions laid down by the Supreme still easily detected their trail.
"Who... is it you all?"
Several Immortal Kings recognized Li Hao, and their expressions changed. They hadn't expected Li Hao and his group to arrive so quickly from the Abyss to the Southern Domain.
Fortunately, others had swiftly shifted to aid other regions before the True King petition concluded.
As for this place, even if it were occupied by Ancient Demons, once the Supreme returned it could be reclaimed, and rare treasures had already been carried away by several Quasi-Emperor disciples of the Supreme.
"How is the Southern Domain's situation? Have others gone to the borders?"
Li Hao's eyes squinted slightly as he asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, several exchanged glances, having already prepared a response, one of them then said with a chuckle:
"Reporting to the True King, the Supreme and several Quasi-Emperors have already headed to the Exotic Battlefield to confront the Ancient Demon Emperor. The Supreme instructed us at Heavenly Palace to be benevolent and aid all realms. Now, as other Outer Realms face difficulties, they've led forces there in assistance, and are not present here. Fortunately, with the True King's arrival, and with you all stationed in the Southern Domain, surely it can remain secure."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hao and Shi Miao had yet to respond, but Dao Qingyin and Long Zhan Tian's expressions changed dramatically, as they looked angrily at the Immortal King.
"You mean the other Immortal Kings of your Heavenly Palace have all gone to aid other regions and are not in the Southern Domain?"
Long Zhan Tian asked angrily, uncontrollably releasing majestic dragon power.
The Immortal King's expression changed, and his smile turned forced as he said, "Other regions face difficulties, and as fellow members of the Human Race, we should help each other..."
"How many have gone, and how many Immortal Kings remain in the Southern Domain? How many Immortal Lords and True Immortals have they led?"
Dao Qingyin interrupted his words angrily and asked quickly.
Despite being of a younger generation, she wasn't overwhelmed by emotions and sought immediately to understand the situation in the Southern Domain. Given that they now followed Li Hao to defend the Southern Domain, if the Heavenly Palace's local force consisted of only these few remaining ones, the task of resisting the Ancient Demons would fall entirely on their clans.
The Immortal King's expression flickered. As a Heavenly Palace Immortal King, he naturally understood the past event of the Southern Domain Pride of Heaven Battle where Li Hao escaped from the Supreme's grasp, harboring no good impression of Li Hao, but Long Zhan Tian and Dao Qingyin represented the Ancestor Dragon Clan and the Dao Clan respectively!
