"What? How could this be?"
Bai Yuer's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.
This news was truly beyond her expectations.
The Qinglong Ancient Kingdom was indeed very strong and was recognized as the leader among the four ancient kingdoms.
However, the Baihu Ancient Kingdom and the Xuanwu Ancient Kingdom were also quite formidable, not much weaker than the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom.
Only the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom had seen a decline in national strength in recent years due to the severe injuries sustained by its ruler.
Aside from the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom, the other three ancient kingdoms should be on a similar level.
It was precisely for this reason that Bai Yuer was astonished that the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom would have the audacity to take action against the other two kingdoms.
"What is the current situation?" Bai Yuer inquired.
"Replying to Her Highness the Princess, it is said that the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom took the initiative to provoke war. Their army is very strong, and it seems that many mysterious experts of unknown origin have joined them."
"Such a thing actually happened?" Bai Yuer fell into deep thought.
Currently, the ruler of the Zhuque Kingdom was still in seclusion.
After obtaining the immortal dicine of the Qilin and recovering from his injuries, his first task was to enter seclusion, hoping to break through to the Saint realm.
However, breaking through to the Saint realm was not an easy feat.
Although the ruler of the Zhuque Kingdom had accumulated for a long ti and had the aid of the immortal dicine, achieving a breakthrough to the Saint realm was not sothing that could be accomplished in a short ti.
As of now, the ruler of the Zhuque Kingdom had not yet erged from seclusion.
The affairs of the entire Zhuque Ancient Kingdom rested on Bai Yuer's shoulders.
After all, she was the one who saved the ruler of the Zhuque Kingdom, so now, apart from the ruler, Bai Yuer had the greatest influence in the entire ancient kingdom.
"Let's observe the situation for now. Our Zhuque Ancient Kingdom should not intervene," Bai Yuer waved her hand.
Given the current strength of the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom, they did not have the capability to intervene.
"Yes," the maid replied and withdrew.
Bai Yuer slightly furrowed her brows.
"What could be the reason? And where did those mysterious experts who are helping the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom co from?"
Bai Yuer pondered.
If she were still Xiao Chen's fiancée, she would naturally not have to worry about such matters.
But now, Bai Yuer had not only severed all ties with Xiao Chen but had also beco enemies with him.
In this situation, Bai Yuer could not help but worry that the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom might take action against the Zhuque Ancient Kingdom.
"I hope I'm just overthinking," Bai Yuer rubbed her temples with her jade fingers.
But for so reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of unease in her heart.
……
Ti slowly passed.
In the Jun family's Heavenly Emperor Palace, Jun Xiaoyao was still in seclusion.
He was trying to refine the bones in his body using the thods recorded in the body scripture with the essence of immortality.
After half a month, he finally refined the first bone in his body into a Da Luo Immortal Bone.
Jun Xiaoyao thought he was a bit slow, but if it were soone else, it might take years to refine even one Da Luo Immortal Bone.
At the mont the first Da Luo Immortal Bone appeared, Jun Xiaoyao felt that the bone was glowing with golden light, seemingly imprinted with mysterious runes.
Moreover, this Da Luo Immortal Bone was located in his arm, and when Jun Xiaoyao threw a punch, he felt that its power was several tis stronger than before.
"Not bad, although the progress is a bit slow, at least there are results," Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.
If one Da Luo Immortal Bone had such a remarkable effect, then what about a few more?
In the end, if all two hundred and six bones in his body transford into Da Luo Immortal Bones, how powerful would that be?
Jun Xiaoyao beca increasingly excited about the prospect of achieving the Da Luo Immortal Body.
While Jun Xiaoyao continued his seclusion, astonishing news once again spread from the Four Symbols Ancient Kingdom.
The Qinglong Ancient Kingdom, with an extrely aggressive posture, had breached the borders of the Baihu Ancient Kingdom and the Xuanwu Ancient Kingdom.
Even with the two ancient kingdoms joining forces to resist, they found it difficult to withstand the Qinglong Ancient Kingdom's army.
This caused quite a stir in the surrounding dozens of states.
However, since this was not a battle of immortal forces, the impact was limited and did not shake the entire Immortal Domain.
When Bai Yuer learned of this news, her gaze trembled.
The unease in her heart grew even stronger.
……
In Jinzhou, within the palace of the Baihu Ancient Kingdom.
The Baihu Kingdom's ruler and the Xuanwu Kingdom's ruler both appeared slightly pale, standing with their hands down, clearly having suffered significant injuries from the recent battle.
Both were at the Saint realm, but at this mont, they bore wounds, and their eyes reflected shock.
Before them stood the ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom, calm and composed.
His cultivation was also at the Saint realm, not much higher than the two rulers.
However, behind him were four figures cloaked in dark robes.
The previous battle had been devastating for them, primarily due to the presence of these four individuals, along with the ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom, which led to their heavy losses and the defeat of their armies.
"Qinglong Kingdom's ruler, where did you find these helpers?" The Baihu Kingdom's ruler spoke with a hint of unwillingness.
If it weren't for these four figures, he alone could have contended with the ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom.
"Hehe, why bother asking so much? Just know that I am also working for a young master," the ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom replied with a faint smile.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, both rulers displayed expressions of astonishnt.
A dignified ruler of a kingdom was actually working for soone else?
Moreover, from the way he spoke, it seed to be a young master?
The two rulers exchanged glances, seeing the surprise and suspicion in each other's eyes.
"No need to doubt, these four are also under that young master," the ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom said lightly.
At this, the Baihu Kingdom's ruler and the Xuanwu Kingdom's ruler revealed even more shock in their eyes.
These four powerful Saints were actually under that young master?
Who exactly was this young master?
What kind of terrifying background did he have?
"Now, you just need to agree to two conditions."
"First, hand over a quarter of your respective compasses."
"Second, the entire nation must submit to the young master."
"If you agree to these two conditions, you can live!"
"If you do not agree, you will die!"
The ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom spoke coldly and directly.
Upon hearing this, both rulers wore expressions of humiliation.
The compass was a treasured heirloom; although its purpose was unknown, it was a symbol of a kingdom.
Each of the four ancient kingdoms possessed a quarter of the compass.
Submitting the entire nation to that young master was also not a glorious matter.
Just as the two rulers were about to argue, the four dark figures suddenly stepped forward.
The oppressive aura silenced their words, leaving them unable to speak.
After a long while, the two rulers finally nodded in resignation, agreeing to the conditions.
Seeing this, the ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom nodded in satisfaction.
Afterward, following so arrangents, both kingdoms submitted.
The ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom then went to a luxurious hall behind the palace.
Inside the hall, many enchanting dancers were gracefully performing.
Above, there was a large bed with gauzy curtains hanging down, and one could vaguely see a figure leaning against several beautiful figures.
The ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom opened his palm, revealing two ancient, mottled pieces of the Qinglong compass.
"Young master, the items you requested have been obtained," the ruler of the Qinglong Kingdom spoke with a hint of reverence.
From behind the gauzy curtain, a powerful arm reached out, fingers grasping the two pieces of the Qinglong compass effortlessly.
"Very good, Qinglong Kingdom's ruler, you have not disappointed this lord!"
