"Do you know what’s happening in the Divine Phoenix Imperial City?"
Ji Ruolong asked with a grim expression.
"Yes, Grandson is aware."
Ji Huangtian nodded in response.
"Since you know, you should understand that bypassing the Moon Lady and Wine Demon Sword to kill Ling Xiao is almost impossible. Therefore, at the Tian Long selection, you must kill that boy for your grandfather."
Ji Ruolong roared.
"Grandson understands."
Ji Huangtian spoke as though discussing sothing quite ordinary.
Although he was shocked when he first received the news, after calming down, he ca to a conclusion.
Ling Xiao is not his opponent.
The reason why that boy is so arrogant and has such impressive achievents ultimately boils down to the support of figures like the Moon Lady and Wine Demon Sword behind him.
So during the Tian Long selection, he must make Ling Xiao face his prowess, to vindicate for his grandfather and the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island.
If he defeats Ling Xiao, it would prove Ling Xiao is rely a coward hiding behind won.
Almost simultaneously, similar events were occurring in the Black Crow Empire, the Divine Phoenix Empire Ice Phoenix Clan, and Penglai Fairy Island.
Except one was a conversation between the Raven Queen and the First and Second Killing Stars.
Another involved Phoenix Imasurable with Fengming Qishan, Phoenix Wushan, and his several sons.
No matter who, as long as they can kill Ling Xiao, it’s a victory for Phoenix Imasurable.
As for Penglai Fairy Island, it was a conversation between Zongyu Jingjue and Zongyu Huangquan.
They clearly understood that directly seeking revenge on Ling Xiao was no longer feasible.
As long as the Moon Lady is alive, they cannot kill Ling Xiao no matter what.
But the Tian Long selection is a golden opportunity, a showdown among young people under thirty.
In this regard, they still have an advantage.
However, in the Divine Phoenix Empire, there was one matter leaving Phoenix Imasurable sowhat distressed.
"Emperor, the Heavenly Dynasty Empire’s army has already occupied Forest Sea City and Northern Desert City, forming a pincer maneuver, we must resolve this quickly."
"Yes, Emperor, while Ling Xiao and the Moon Lady are still in the Imperial Capital, send experts to Forest Sea City, even if it’s to burn it down, it cannot be left to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire."
"Majesty, no more hesitation, we must dispatch troops imdiately."
"Majesty!"
The atmosphere within the great hall was extrely oppressive, mixed with tension and anger.
Ling Xiao avenged his family and friends, and it was acceptable to defeat the Peacock Clan and Roc Clan, but daring to seize the opportunity to allow the Heavenly Dynasty Empire’s army to occupy Divine Phoenix Empire’s cities is intolerable.
Listening to the ministers’ argunts, Emperor Phoenix Imasurable remained silent, his face icy to the extre, emanating a dense killing aura that could kill any passing mosquitoes.
Ling Xiao killed their Ice Phoenix Clan ancestor, driving him to rage, yet due to the Moon Lady and Wine Demon Sword, he was unable to seek vengeance.
The upper echelons of the clan suggested to set aside the grudges for now, and wait for an opportunity.
Already stifled with a bellyful of bird anger, Phoenix Imasurable received news of the Divine Phoenix Empire’s cities being occupied, losing all rationality in an instant.
If even this matter can be tolerated, then him as Emperor is utterly disgraceful.
Forest Sea City was his hand-crafted star city, the place he heavily promoted after the abandonnt of Northern Desert City.
And those stationed at Forest Sea City were his brother.
Once, he made this his political achievent, showing the commoners that even without Northern Desert City and Ji Ning, the northern gate of Divine Phoenix Empire remained secure.
But now, news reached the Imperial Capital that Forest Sea City was easily conquered by Ling Xiao.
Where is his dignity?
Furthermore, his brother and his son Fengming Cangshan died in this battle.
Killed by Ling Xiao and his friends.
Not only did he lose face, but he suffered significant losses.
Although many people verbally support him now, behind the scenes, they’re laughing at him as if he were a fool.
If he cannot reclaim Forest Sea City, forget waiting for the Emperor election, he will soon be impeached and forced to resign.
This is sothing he cannot accept.
"Father, given the current situation, let lead the troops to reclaim Forest Sea City."
The speaker was Phoenix Imasurable’s second son, Fengming Junshan.
His cultivation and strength are likely not inferior to Feng Yingshan and Fengming Qishan.
Yet because he belongs to the Righteous Qi Alliance, as a Righteous Divine Guardian, he doesn’t participate in external rankings.
But his strength is indisputable.
"Emperor, if Junshan leads, this matter is sure to succeed, I also wish to assist."
Stepping forward was General Ice, one of the Twelve Generals.
Back when Marshal Raging Flas was killed, he grew to hate Ling Xiao to the bone, always seeking an opportunity for revenge.
But Ling Xiao’s growth was too fast, knowing he could not avenge alone, thus joining such collective actions is bound to achieve great things.
"Junshan, you need not go, I want you and Tianshan to leave the Righteous Divine Guardians and participate in the Tian Long selection. You two are the true hope of the Ice Phoenix Clan, you need to plan long term."
Fengming Junshan is Phoenix Imasurable’s second son.
Fengming Tianshan is Phoenix Imasurable’s first son.
These two are his strongest among his sons, whom he also has the highest expectations for.
He’s contemplating, if he fails, these two sons are his hope.
As long as they defeat Fengming Qishan and Feng Yingshan in the Tian Long selection, his sons have the potential to beco Crown Prince.
After all, in the Divine Phoenix Empire, a key factor to becoming Crown Prince is having strong enough power.
If your strength is inferior to other contenders, then no matter how good you are in other aspects, it’s of no use.
"But father, who will go to Forest Sea City?"
Fengming Junshan asked.
"Zuo Dou, Right Guard, prepare your armor, this ti, I shall lead the expedition personally!"
Phoenix Imasurable stood up and shouted fiercely.
He had no choice, this expedition to Forest Sea City is pivotal for his political career.
Zuo Dou and Right Guard are his most loyal subordinates, each an expert in the First Level of the Yin-Yang Realm.
Along with him, three Yin-Yang Realm experts heading to Forest Sea City, he refuses to believe they cannot reclaim the city from his enemies!
At this mont, Phoenix Imasurable’s feelings were truly complex.
Once, he never considered Ling Xiao worth noting, even after Ling Xiao founded the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, he still dismissed Ling Xiao and that so-called empire.
He believed that he could annihilate the Heavenly Dynasty Empire any ti he wished.
This ti, he revoked Ling Xiao’s title as King of Heavenly Dragon, intending to attack the Heavenly Dynasty Empire amidst chaos, to conquer the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
But he never imagined Ling Xiao would counterattack, occupying his Forest Sea City.
The detestable kid has grown to the point where he cannot be ignored.
Since it’s temporarily impossible to kill him, he decided to first reclaim Forest Sea City, making the boy understand that even with the Moon Lady’s protection, the weak motley crowd of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire can accomplish nothing.
