Chapter 80

"What, how can this be?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuer’s beautiful eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

This news was truly beyond her expectations.

The Azure Dragon Ancient Country was indeed very powerful and was indeed the leader among the four ancient countries.

However, the White Tiger Ancient Country and the Black Tortoise Ancient Country were also extremely strong, not much weaker than the Azure Dragon Ancient Country.

Only the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country had been declining in power for years due to the severe injuries of the Vermilion Bird Lord.

But apart from the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, the other three ancient countries should be on roughly the same level.

This was why Bai Yuer was surprised that the Azure Dragon Ancient Country would have the audacity to take action against the other two countries.

"What is the current situation?" Bai Yuer asked.

"Your Highness, it is said that the Azure Dragon Ancient Country initiated the war. Their army is very strong, and it seems that many mysterious experts of unknown origin have joined them."

"Is that so?" Bai Yuer fell into deep thought.

Currently, the Vermilion Bird Lord was still in seclusion.

After obtaining the Immortal Phoenix Herb and recovering from his injuries, his first priority was to enter seclusion to attempt to break through to the Sage Realm.

However, breaking through to the Sage Realm was no easy feat.

Although the Vermilion Bird Lord had accumulated much experience and had the help of the Immortal Phoenix Herb, breaking through to the Sage Realm was not something that could be achieved in a short time.

To this day, the Vermilion Bird Lord had not emerged from seclusion.

The entire Vermilion Bird Ancient Country's affairs were now on Bai Yuer's shoulders.

After all, she had saved the Vermilion Bird Lord, so in the entire ancient country, apart from the Vermilion Bird Lord, Bai Yuer had the greatest influence.

"Let's observe the situation for now. Our Vermilion Bird Ancient Country should not get involved." Bai Yuer waved her hand.

Given the current state of the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country, they did not have the capability to intervene.

"Yes." The maid bowed and retreated.

Bai Yuer frowned slightly.

"Why is this happening, and where did those mysterious experts helping the Azure Dragon Ancient Country come from?"

Bai Yuer pondered.

If she were still Xiao Chen's fiancée, she would not have to worry about such matters.

But now, Bai Yuer had not only severed all ties with Xiao Chen but had also become his enemy.

In this situation, Bai Yuer could not help but worry that the Azure Dragon Ancient Country might target the Vermilion Bird Ancient Country.

"I hope I'm overthinking this." Bai Yuer rubbed her temples.

But for some reason, she felt a growing sense of unease.

...

Time passed slowly.

In the Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Jun family, Jun Xiaoyao was still in seclusion.

He was trying to use the methods from the Body Scripture to refine his bones with Immortal Essence.

It took him half a month to refine his first bone into a Great Luo Immortal Bone.

Jun Xiaoyao considered himself a bit slow, but if it were anyone else, it might take years to refine even one Great Luo Immortal Bone.

The moment the first Great Luo Immortal Bone appeared, Jun Xiaoyao felt that the bone was golden and seemed to be imprinted with mysterious runes.

Moreover, this Great Luo Immortal Bone, located in his arm, made his punches several times more powerful than before.

"Not bad, although the progress is a bit slow, there are finally some results." Jun Xiaoyao muttered to himself.

One Great Luo Immortal Bone had such a significant effect; what about several more?

In the end, if all 206 bones in his body were transformed into Great Luo Immortal Bones, how powerful would he be?

Jun Xiaoyao was increasingly looking forward to the Great Luo Immortal Body.

While Jun Xiaoyao continued his seclusion, the Four Symbols Ancient Countries were once again making shocking news.

The Azure Dragon Ancient Country, with an extremely aggressive stance, had breached the gates of the White Tiger Ancient Country and the Black Tortoise Ancient Country.

Even with the combined resistance of the two ancient countries, they could not withstand the Azure Dragon Ancient Country's army.

This caused a significant stir in the surrounding dozens of states.

However, since this was not a battle between Immortal forces, the impact was limited and did not shake the entire Immortal Realm.

When Bai Yuer heard this news, her eyes flickered with shock.

The sense of unease in her heart grew even stronger.

...

In Jinzhou, the White Tiger Ancient Country, within the imperial palace.

The White Tiger Lord and the Black Tortoise Lord were standing with slightly pale faces, clearly having just experienced a major battle and sustained significant injuries.

Both were at the Sage Realm, but they were now injured, their eyes still filled with shock.

In front of them, the Azure Dragon Lord stood calmly.

His cultivation was also at the Sage Realm, not much higher than the two lords.

However, behind him stood four figures shrouded in black robes.

The previous battle was due to the presence of these four figures, along with the Azure Dragon Lord, that they were heavily injured, leading to the defeat of their armies.

"Azure Dragon Lord, where did you get these helpers?" The White Tiger Lord asked with a hint of reluctance.

If it weren't for these four figures, he alone could have matched the Azure Dragon Lord.

"Ha ha, why ask so much? You just need to know that I am also working for the young master." The Azure Dragon Lord said with a faint smile.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, both lords were taken aback.

A lord of a country was also working for someone else?

And from the way he addressed him, it was a young master?

The two lords exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"No need to speculate. These four are also the young master's people." The Azure Dragon Lord said calmly.

This made the White Tiger Lord and the Black Tortoise Lord even more astonished.

These four Sage Realm experts were all under the young master?

Who was this young master?

What kind of background did he have?

"Now, you only need to agree to two conditions."

"First, hand over one-quarter of your compasses."

"Second, submit your entire country to the young master."

"Agree, and you live."

"Refuse, and you die."

The Azure Dragon Lord spoke coldly and bluntly.

Upon hearing this, the two lords felt a sense of humiliation.

The compasses were symbols of their countries, though their uses were unknown.

Each of the four ancient countries had one-quarter of a compass.

Submitting their entire country to the young master was also a disgraceful matter.

Just as the two lords were about to argue, the four black-robed figures took a step forward.

The oppressive aura made the two lords' words stick in their throats, unable to speak.

After a long while, the two lords finally nodded in defeat, agreeing to the conditions.

The Azure Dragon Lord, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction.

After some arrangements, the two countries submitted.

The Azure Dragon Lord then went to the back of the palace, to a luxurious hall.

Inside the hall, many graceful dancers were dancing.

At the top, there was a large bed with curtains hanging down, revealing a figure leaning on several graceful silhouettes.

The Azure Dragon Lord opened his palm, revealing two ancient and weathered pieces of the Azure Dragon Compass.

"Young master, I have obtained what you asked for." The Azure Dragon Lord said with a hint of respect.

From behind the curtains, a powerful arm emerged, and with a grab, the two pieces of the Azure Dragon Compass were taken into his hand.

"Very good, Azure Dragon Lord, you have not disappointed me!"
