127: A threat from the divine realm! (Two-in-one)

Di Tian and the other Vicious Beasts looked at each other.

Speaking plainly... this was a monumental matter of rebelling against the Divine Realm!

"High Priest..." Di Tian hesitated for a moment.

Then, gritting his teeth, he spoke, "Deities have come from beyond the heavens. I wonder if the High Priest is aware of this?"

"Mhm."

Di Tian thought to himself that it was as expected; the capabilities of this High Priest should also be at the Divine-Grade!

Furthermore, he didn't know which branch of the Dragon Clan he belonged to, but he should be on their side!

Di Tian asked again, "I wonder what the High Priest's views are?"

"..." Yu Mengzhang did not answer.

But it was clear that he didn't have any particular views on the matter.

Soldiers will be blocked by generals, and water will be covered by earth; if the deities truly targeted him, he would simply stake his Dragon Qi and have a go at those deities.

Di Tian waited for a moment without receiving a reply, and his heart immediately grew somewhat anxious.

Their purpose for this trip was to draw the Azure Dragon Temple into the same front.

But the attitude of the Azure Dragon Temple was far too indifferent.

"High Priest, it's not that we are looking for trouble, but you... you should also be of a non-Human Race, right? The Divine Realm will not allow a Spirit Beast to become a god, nor can they tolerate a deity staying in the Mortal world. If you remain on the Douluo Continent, you will surely be seen as a thorn in the side of the Divine Realm."

"When that time comes, it will be difficult to settle. The Divine Realm is powerful, like a pack of wolves surrounding us."

"So, I was thinking of cooperating with the High Priest to avoid being persecuted by the Divine Realm together. What do you think?"

Di Tian asked.

He bowed deeply, feeling inevitably nervous in his heart.

"No need for more words," Yu Mengzhang said casually.

"This... alright. If the High Priest is interested in cooperating later, you can come to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest at any time."

Di Tian said helplessly.

At this moment, Zi Ji suddenly pinched her slim waist and said unhappily, "I say, High Priest! We're all Spirit Beasts! Why can't we unite to resist the persecution of the Divine Realm?"

"Could it be that you're afraid of the Divine Realm? That's really cowardly! You're not even as good as a junior like me who has only cultivated for two hundred thousand years!"

"If I were you, I'd rather find a block of tofu to crash into and die! Do you think compromising will stop the Divine Realm from bullying you? Impossible! We can only unite..."

Zi Ji's small mouth opened and closed continuously, outputting words frantically.

Di Tian's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Shut up!!!"

Just as he spoke, a golden giant hand suddenly condensed in the air and grabbed toward Zi Ji.

A sacred and supreme aura erupted, instantly giving all the Vicious Beasts present a hair-raising sensation.

"!!!" Di Tian was pale with fright.

"I beg the High Priest for forgiveness. This little female dragon spoke out of turn and is empty-headed, but she has no ill intent. She is just too foolish. For the sake of our shared Dragon Clan origins, please let her go."

Di Tian hurriedly pleaded.

The other Vicious Beasts also didn't dare to resist, bowing along with Di Tian to plead for Zi Ji.

Zi Ji, however, was caught by the giant hand and reverted to her original form—a Hell Demon Dragon. But in the giant hand, she was like a small action figure, completely unable to resist or break free.

"Suppressed for a hundred years," Yu Mengzhang said indifferently.

Di Tian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said gratefully, "Thank you, High Priest, for showing mercy! Zi Ji! Within these hundred years, serve the Azure Dragon Temple well! Do not be disrespectful!"

A hundred years was just the time for a nap for a Spirit Beast!

Moreover, working for the Azure Dragon Temple wasn't exactly a grievance for Zi Ji.

The other Vicious Beasts also felt it was normal, even thinking the High Priest was very lenient.

"I... I..."

Zi Ji was dumbfounded, staring blankly at her companions. They just sold her out like that?

Di Tian and the other Vicious Beasts didn't linger, turning to leave and heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

"..." Zi Ji wanted to cry but had no tears.

She was fine when she came, but she was left behind when they went!

She shouldn't have tried to show off and talked nonsense!

In the next instant, the giant hand pressed her down to descend rapidly. Simultaneously, the Divine Power within it compressed Zi Ji's form, and the black dragon, dozens of meters long, quickly turned into a cute creature less than a meter long.

The wind howled, and soon, Zi Ji landed at the entrance of the temple.

The surrounding Believers saw this scene and all showed expressions of astonishment, casting curious glances one after another.

Zi Ji looked around; the Mortals she used to see as ants were now all several times taller than her!

She had become like a little dog!

"Ang...!!!"

Zi Ji wanted to scold them for staring, but what came out was a dragon's roar, and the sound was very weak, lacking any sense of pressure.

"Come in," Yu Mengzhang's voice sounded.

Frightened, Zi Ji shrank her head and entered the temple dispiritedly.

When crossing the threshold, she was even tripped and fell into the room.

Her dragon head lay on the ground, looking extremely pathetic.

Yu Mengzhang looked at Zi Ji and said indifferently, "You shall stay here for a hundred years to be at my beck and call."

"Ang...!"

Zi Ji nodded weakly, not daring to object.

Yu Mengzhang suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly. Near the Azure Dragon Temple in Heaven Dou City, two ripples of Divine Power had appeared. Clearly, they were here for him!

Had the deities from the Divine Realm truly descended because of him?

Currently, his power had exhausted all the Dragon Qi; he didn't know if he could defeat a God King... Outside Heaven Dou City, high in the sky, two figures stood in the air, their styles distinct.

One was cold and stern, wearing dark red armor with a blood-colored divine ring behind his back, reflecting half the sky in red light, carrying a clanging Battle Intent.

The other was relatively more leisurely, wearing blue-green armor with green hair draped over his shoulders. The sound of waves seemed to surround him as he looked at the former, the Asura God, with a smile.

"Asura God, look at how devout their faith is. Then look at you—you're a God King, yet you don't even have a single Believer."

Sea God Poseidon laughed loudly, mocking him.

The Asura God shot a cold glance at Sea God Poseidon and snorted, "Boring!"

They had descended to observe the Azure Dragon Divine Lord.

Because the rules of the Divine Realm did not allow deities to excessively influence the Mortal world.

At the same time, there was a deeper matter, which was... the Beast God!

If the other party was a Beast God, they could not sit by and watch. With the precedent of the Dragon God, the Divine Realm was extremely sensitive to Beast Gods.

Sea God Poseidon said slowly, "This Azure Dragon Divine Lord cannot be underestimated. Bringing down sweet rain over a thousand miles to save those in distress—calling him a merciful deity wouldn't be an exaggeration."

"But is he really a deity? I searched around and found absolutely nothing, only seeing a massive meteorological celestial body in the sky."

"And inside it, there's only a tiny tot, a child who hasn't even had a Spirit Awakening."

Sea God Poseidon shrugged, looking puzzled.

He clearly possessed Divine Power of at least a Second-Class God, yet there wasn't a trace of him; it was impossible to tell he was a deity at all!

They couldn't even find a shadow!

The Asura God said coldly, "That is precisely the key. If some Dragon King has returned and can evade the eyes of the Divine Realm, the hidden danger is imaginable!"

Sea God Poseidon sighed, "Then what can we do? What's the solution? We've been looking for a day! Or are you going to wait until he unleashes a divine punishment to see?"

"..."

The Asura God looked coldly at Sea God Poseidon, silently agreeing.

In short, this matter could not be left alone!

They would lie in wait nearby; sooner or later, they would discover that so-called Azure Dragon Divine Lord!

"I'll go check another place..."

Sea God Poseidon rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

The Asura God gave him a cold look. Although he knew this fellow was lingering in the Mortal world, he didn't heartlessly stop him.

With a flash of light, Sea God Poseidon zipped away... A few days later, Junlin City.

The Insurgent Army had now captured many kingdoms and duchies between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and the area under their control had reached thirty percent of the Heaven Dou Empire!

This was already a very significant range of control.

Moreover, the Insurgent Army was still advancing, closing in on the direction of Heaven Dou City.

With the addition of the Spirit Hall's army, Yu Xiaogang could finally do what he had always wanted to do.

In high Spirits, he and Bibi Dong each rode a fine horse, advancing in the middle of the procession.

Bibi Dong had also put on armor, looking nothing like the Supreme Pontiff.

A smile remained on her face, and the darkness in her heart was about to dissipate.

"Xiaogang, with your talent, you can completely become the leader of the Insurgent Army. In the future, when you unify the entire Douluo Continent, you will be the one and only Emperor!"

Bibi Dong said, her tone excited.

This was something Spirit Hall had been plotting for a long time, and now Yu Xiaogang was actually the closest to it!

As expected of the man she admired; he was truly too strong!

A flash of surprise and joy crossed Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and he couldn't help but be tempted.

Yes, although the Insurgent Army wasn't started by him, he was the Soul figure!

Furthermore, he was the one leading the capture of so many cities now!

Why should he have to listen to City Lord Xiao in the future?

The other man was just a military discipline officer!

If he became the emperor of a unified land... Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a surge of grand ambition, suddenly feeling that he was simply destined!

"Donger, you really are my lucky star..."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly, "I..."

Before she could finish, a loud explosion suddenly came from the sky.

Several figures rushed over from a distance and stopped above the army.

The terrifying Soul Power fluctuations they emitted were like a deep abyss or a prison, instantly causing the army below to tremble with fear, horses neighing and men panicking.

"Bibi Dong!!!"

"Do you still remember your status? To actually be so infatuated as to do such a thing?!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo asked angrily.

The other Consecrated Priests also locked onto Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's positions.

Pressed by this Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned pale, and he slumped directly onto the horse's back. The fine horse was also scared out of its wits and collapsed, nearly crushing Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong caught Yu Xiaogang in time and quickly led him away from the army.

She couldn't let the several Consecrated Priests make things difficult for them here.

If the Insurgent Army saw it, Yu Xiaogang would lose all face!

Qian Daoliu and the others immediately pursued Bibi Dong, golden light flashing.

A moment later, they caught up on a plain three miles away.

Bibi Dong stood with Yu Xiaogang, confronting the several Consecrated Priests. Her expression was icy, completely unafraid of their aggressive arrival.

Yu Xiaogang's legs were weak, and his face was pale. "Donger, they... who are they?"

"Xiaogang, don't be afraid, I will protect you! They are just a bunch of old fogies!"

Bibi Dong snorted, completely unconcerned.

Qian Daoliu looked deeply at Bibi Dong. He was the only one among the several Consecrated Priests who didn't use his Spirit or act aggressively. With a helpless expression, he asked:

"Bibi Dong, why bother with this?"

"Big brother, why say anything more to her? Just kill her!" Gold Crocodile Douluo said angrily.

"At least we must cripple her. To think she gave Spirit Hall's military strength to someone else as a wedding gift—she cannot be forgiven!"

"This pair of adulterers must die!"

The several Consecrated Priests circled around, surrounding Bibi Dong and the other.

Over fifty spirit rings were released, their light illuminating the surroundings, including one red spirit ring.

Upon this display, Yu Xiaogang's bones turned soft.

He no longer had his balls and couldn't be considered a man; he instantly wanted to kneel and plead for mercy.

"Xiaogang... stand up. You don't need to be afraid, and don't worry about me!"

Bibi Dong pulled Yu Xiaogang and said urgently.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "No... it can't be like this. Donger, you aren't their match either, are you?"

"..." Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment. Yes, at least for now, she really wasn't their match!

"Since we did wrong, we must accept the punishment. Come, Donger, kneel with me and apologize. Then we can talk it over, alright..."

Yu Xiaogang forced a smile; he had done even more embarrassing things.

Besides, there was no one else here now. If he knelt, who would know?

Bibi Dong opened her mouth slightly, somewhat in disbelief.

The groveling Yu Xiaogang before her was too different from the "white moonlight" in her memory!

"Xiaogang..."

Gold Crocodile Douluo sneered, "You certainly know how to adapt to the situation! Bibi Dong, aren't you going to kneel? Otherwise, we'll have to take action! We'll kill this pretty boy first!"

"Kneel, kneel, kneel... Donger, let's kneel. Everything can be discussed; there's no need to fight."

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly pulled Bibi Dong. Seeing she still wouldn't kneel, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he barked, "Donger! Are you not going to listen to me?!"

"I..."

Bibi Dong's mind was in chaos, and she knelt down in a daze.

Compared to the siege of the several Consecrated Priests, she was even more unwilling to face Yu Xiaogang's disappointment.

"Lords Consecrated Priests, I did take Spirit Hall's power, but this isn't any loss for Spirit Hall!" Yu Xiaogang smiled sheepishly.

"Go on." Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly, unable to believe how Bibi Dong could have fallen for such a thing.

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly explained:

"When I lead the Insurgent Army to unify the Douluo Continent, I will be the new emperor. But I will declare that the right to rule is divinely ordained, that the Empire is beneath Spirit Hall, and that we must accept the leadership of Spirit Hall..."

"Xiaogang..."

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief. If they did that, the Insurgent Army would be completely working for Spirit Hall!

In the end, Spirit Hall would pluck all the fruit!

The several Consecrated Priests looked at each other and laughed loudly.

They hadn't expected this matter to be so easy!

Yu Xiaogang had truly opened their eyes!

"Good, good, good... Yu Xiaogang, you are a smart man, but we can't just take your word for it. You must leave some proof!"

Gold Crocodile Douluo laughed heartily.

Yu Xiaogang also laughed along, seemingly happy that he could make them laugh.

"Then I can get up now, right?"

"Of course," Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded.

Yu Xiaogang stood up excitedly and looked at Bibi Dong triumphantly. "See, Donger? Everything depends on the brain. You're too stupid, only knowing how to use force to solve problems."

"..." Bibi Dong was speechless.
