178: A tense situation

Nowadays, Blue Star's various forces have rapidly advanced in strength because another tide of zhen crystal appeared a few years ago.

But now, because the zhen crystal are almost depleted, the various forces have also begun to stir restlessly.

However, because the various countries and forces on Blue Star have now stabilized, even if someone wants to act rashly, they need to consider the other forces.

Take China, for example; although seemingly independent on the surface, it has intricate connections with the Ge Xing Islands.

It's a situation where pulling one hair moves the whole body.

But today, with the most mysterious Black Gold Yang Dragon King of the Ge Xing Islands encountering trouble, the various forces finally couldn't sit still.

The country closest to the Ge Xing Islands.

Within Sakura Country.

"Ji Wu, when will your king awaken? We have now gathered six countries, eight 14th-tier powerhouses, and thirty-seven 13th-tier Fierce Beasts."

"If we can take down the Ge Xing Islands in this battle, I believe you know the stakes involved. Don't ruin our plan."

Ji Wu, a shark-like Fierce Beast that lives in the sea, is also one of the top three powerhouses in the entire Sakura Country.

Hearing the solemn voice of the Three-Headed Griffin in front of him, Ji Wu also slowly nodded and said, "Rest assured, sirs, our king is already breaking through to the mid-14th tier."

"In half a month at most, our king will appear and join you in attacking the Ge Xing Islands."

Hearing Ji Wu mention the king, the eyes of the various forces all became solemn.

The king of Sakura Country is a Divine Beast that has lived for a very, very long time. He calls himself Qi Emperor, and his strength is extremely formidable.

This is why the various forces are all willing to wait for him.

One must know that in the former era without energy, simply being able to survive already indicated his strength.

Although the actions of the seven countries were well hidden, they were still detected by China immediately.

For a time, the kings in the major forbidden lands and mountains of China gathered together and began to discuss, ready at any moment to aid the Ge Xing Islands and contribute their meager strength.

Furthermore, China also has its allies, so if the various forces want to make a move on the Ge Xing Islands, they are not just moving on the Ge Xing Islands; they must also be prepared to face the siege of various forces.

Ge Xing Islands.

Qingyang's wails continued incessantly.

In contrast, Ba Qing, the acting Qing Yang, gradually discovered that the atmosphere seemed off as he patrolled the outer islands of the Ge Xing Islands day by day.

Divine Beasts are extremely sensitive to danger.

Therefore, as this unsettling aura grew heavier, Ba Qing's gaze also became increasingly solemn.

As for Golden Pixiu, Little Luan, and Xuan Ming, these three 14th-tier Divine Beasts also sensed something and stayed near the periphery of the Ge Xing Islands almost every day, occasionally releasing their aura to serve as a deterrent.

Bull Demon King, Huang Shan, Bu Bai, Pan Lin, Yin Li, Ming Tian, and Blood Town, these seven Divine Beasts, are currently only in the mid to late 13th tier in strength, so they can only be dispersed in other directions around the Ge Xing Islands to maintain vigilance.

On this day, as the sea surface became increasingly oppressive, at a certain moment, as black dots stepped out of the sea from the horizon, Ba Qing discovered them immediately.

Dozens of Fierce Beasts and Humans made Little Luan, who was nearby, narrow her phoenix eyes and say softly, "The newcomers are not friendly."

On the other side, Golden Pixiu turned its head to look in the direction of the core island where Qingyang was, and said with some hesitation, "How about we run? This lineup is a bit too big."

"We can't run. This time, the only thing we can do is not retreat, not yield, not compromise. Risk and reward are directly proportional."

"As long as they dare to attack us this time and we survive this ordeal, then in the future..." Ba Qing said slowly, staring at the black dots on the distant sea with his tiger eyes.

"Roar~ Howl~"

Another painful dragon roar came out, making Ba Qing, who had been imposing just a second ago, turn his head speechlessly to look in the direction of the sound source.

Qingyang's wails, in the eyes of the various forces, were no less than a beautiful woman's seduction. As long as Qingyang's wails continued, the Ge Xing Islands would certainly not be peaceful.

As figures rapidly approached, Ba Qing muttered softly after seeing the appearances of the various Fierce Beasts.

"United States, Black Gold Bat; Sakura Country, Ji Wu; Greece, Chimera; Judah, Behemoth..."

One by one, Fierce Beasts who were extremely famous in various countries and even across the entire Blue Star, gathered here. Counting them, there were as many as eight 14th-tier Fierce Beasts alone.

Noticing Ba Qing's nearly five-hundred-meter imposing White Tiger body, as well as Little Luan, Xuan Ming, and Golden Pixiu, the three Divine Beasts standing side by side on the outer islands of the Ge Xing Islands, the 14th-tier Three-Headed Griffin leading the group spoke loudly and very cordially.

"Hahaha, White Tiger Ba Qing, Divine Bird Little Luan, Water Controller Xuan Ming, Sky Swallowing Golden Pixiu, it's been a while."

As the four strongest Divine Beasts of the Ge Xing Islands, Ba Qing and the others are now well-known and titled existences on Blue Star.

Hearing the Three-Headed Griffin's words, a flicker of imperceptible caution flashed in Ba Qing's eyes, but he finally said coldly, "Three-Headed Griffin, why have so many powerhouses come to the waters of my Ge Xing Islands?"

"Is there something you need? Or perhaps you don't know that my Ge Xing Islands are currently under lockdown?"

"Roar~ Howl~"

Just as Ba Qing finished speaking, unfortunately, Qingyang's painful cry of changing bones sounded again.

This time, because the distance was shorter, the eyes of the Fierce Beasts from the various forces around instantly showed excitement.

This sound clearly conveyed a feeling of unbearable pain, so the Seven-Nation Alliance immediately understood upon hearing it that, based on the feeling conveyed by this sound, the Black Gold Yang Dragon King likely no longer had any ability to fight.

At this moment, the Three-Headed Griffin, which had originally been somewhat cautious, seemed to have changed its tone of voice.

"We heard that the Black Gold Yang Dragon King seems to be injured? We represent various countries and have come to visit the Black Gold Yang Dragon King. You wouldn't turn us away, would you?"

"Yes."

Xuan Ming, who had been silent, suddenly stretched out his head from his mountain-like shell and said.

Ba Qing: "!!"

The strongest Fierce Beasts from various countries in the distance: "??"

Beside him, Golden Pixiu looked at Xuan Ming speechlessly and said, "What you said is too blunt, couldn't you be a bit more tactful?"

But at this moment, Ba Qing suddenly interrupted Golden Pixiu's words and, with extreme forcefulness, looked up again at the Fierce Beasts from various countries on the distant sea and spoke again.

"The Ge Xing Islands are under lockdown. Please go back, everyone. Although Xuan Ming's meaning is too direct, this is our meaning."

As soon as these words were spoken, the 14th-tier Fierce Beasts one by one became enraged.

"We've traveled thousands of miles to visit the injured Black Gold Yang Dragon King, and you are actually unappreciative."

"Are you not giving my United States face? What if I insist on seeing him today?"

"..."
