310 The Forbidden City
In an office in Forbidden City, the Imperial City of Taixia Country, many elders and top earth-rank figures headed by the four unrivaled powerhouses of Taixia Country gathered together. Of course, only their spirits came here as some places were too crowded.
“What’s the situation in Lianyun City?”
None of the powerhouses spoke. The first one to speak was the great elder. His fierce eyes swept across the crowd. His deep voice exploded in the room, and it contained boundless anger.
The fall of Lianyun City this time, in addition to the death of the earth-rank Guardian caused more than half of the ability users to die. The most important thing was that ordinary people had no time to react because of the suddenness of the incident. The two natural disasters of earthquake and tsunami came together, causing huge losses.
“The guardian of Lianyun City has fallen in battle. A total of eight thousand three hundred and twenty-seven ability users have died in Lianyun City, of which eighty-nine are mystic-rank ability users. As for ordinary people, the exact numbers are still being calculated. The estimated number is around a hundred thousand or more.”
A secretary, who was standing respectfully behind the first elder, took a step forward and calmly recounted the losses suffered by Lianyun City this time.
“This was just the number of casualties. The losses of property would only be greater.”
“This is really interesting. Zhang Ren, what do you say?”
After hearing about the figures, Weiguo smirked. Nobody felt that he was happy; instead, they felt chilly all over, even though he was just a virtual image, he had a great impact.
“At that time, Io deliberately revealed his aura. By the time I reacted, the incident had already happened.”
Someone frowned. Although he couldn’t be blamed for this incident, he was the only one who could arrive in Lianyun City in an instant to rescue them at that time. However, he sensed Io’s aura. If he wasn’t mistaken, he must have deliberately leaked the information. It was also Io’s warning that if he dared to leave, Guangzhou would be attacked by him.
For a moment, the scene fell silent. No one in the meeting room was st*pid. they knew that Io had appeared at the right time.
“It couldn’t be a coincidence. Someone must have set this up, and many people must be involved.”
“Is there any more information?”
The Bright Phoenix spoke indifferently. To her, the casualties this time weren’t that great. 300 years ago, there were way more deaths. However, times were different now. It was an era of peace. Back then, they had risked their lives to fight for this era. What was the reason for fighting from the South to the North? Wasn’t it for the peace and well-being of their future generations? Now that a mistake had occurred, if they didn’t give an explanation, the comrades who had died in battle back then wouldn’t be able to rest in peace!
“The Sea of Chongsou should be from the same force. The one who cooperated with the three earth-rank Demon Kings to kill the Lianyun City’s guardian should be one of the generals of the Black Dragon City!”
Hearing that, many elders frowned. How could it be the Black Dragon City?
On the land, humans had risen together with numerous countries. Although they were ambitious to touch the ocean, neither Taixia Country nor the Eagle Country had built a firm bridgehead in the ocean.
This was because humans’ adaptability to the water and the ocean was indeed inferior to the sea beasts. There was another reason, and that was the super forces in the sea!
In terms of the area of the Blue Planet, the ocean was four times that of the land. In terms of resources, the ocean was even better. In terms of the number of living creatures, it still far exceeded the land. However, the ocean was more chaotic than the land, and there was rarely any concept of the power hierarchy. Even the Ocean Kings often fought each other.
However, at the bottom of the deep sea, there were three super forces, each of which had a super expert comparable to the top five on the earth-ranking list.
Black Dragon City was founded by purebred black dragons, Dragon Palace City was close to Taixia Country, and Deep Sea Titans wandered in the ocean.
Although the Black Dragon City was inclined to evil, it would not provoke Taixia Country under normal circumstances. Additionally, Taixia Country had always been close to Dragon Palace City. Even if the Black Dragon City wanted to take action, Dragon Palace City would stop them.
“Can you find out what happened in Dragon Palace Cty?”
“When I received the news, I immediately contacted them to check. They said that the Deep Sea Titans’ soldiers were nearby at that time, and they were blocked by the Deep Sea Titans!”
At this moment, everyone looked at the old man who was in charge of foreign affairs. The Deep Sea Titans were blocking the door? Could it be that even the Deep Sea Titans were involved this time?
Unlike the other two forces, the Deep Sea Titans were mainly strong enough to withstand great battles. Although it did not have any loyal followers, it was enough to be on equal footing with the other two superpowers.
Titans fed on Dragons.
At this moment, the Wudang Immortal, who had been cultivating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked around, “Has anyone captured the three Demon Kings?”
“Yes.”
When the incident happened, Io retreated immediately, and Zhang Ren also came to the scene to rescue them. At the same time, he intercepted the auras of the three Demon Kings and traced their locations directly through the way of karma. Then, he captured them with thunderous means.
Very smoothly, he got all three.
“Then let’s just capture their souls and not make haste. If we’re fast, we can still save innocent people. As for the other commoners, they were all taken away by the tsunami. They should be in Black Dragon City. While doing so, we have to figure out which forces joined this action against Taixia Country as soon as possible.”
“Alright!”
All of a sudden, Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man opened his eyes. In the souls of the three earth-rank Demon Kings had been caught. Of course, they were not their real bodies, but their transformed appearances. However, who was the Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man? He was an expert who had mastered the Great Celestial Phoenix technique of Fetal Transformation. He had also dabbled in many of the secret arts of Sramana, so he was not unfamiliar with the experts of the Sansha Kingdoms.
“They want me to go and kill them now.”
Weiguo suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with anger as he took out an ax, wanting to cut off the connection with this side and directly charge into Sansha!
“What’s the hurry?”
The Bright Phoenix frowned and roared in a low voice. In an instant, he stopped and sat down obediently. Weiguo was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of this Phoenix from the Western Capital.
“Why are you being so fierce?”
He pouted and sat down calmly.
“For good reason.”
The more things were exposed, the easier it was for those powerhouses who cultivated the path of destiny to get a glimpse of the whole picture. The moment Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man called out for the Sramana, the Wudang Immortal had already entered the River of Destiny. Through the information he gathered, he had a general understanding of the whole thing.
