177: Dragon's Choice

For Dragon Flame, today was absolutely the greatest upheaval he had ever experienced in his Dragon life.

Originally, with the emergence of the two Demon Emperors, their Yao Race also had hopes of unifying the Tianxuan Continent, but they didn't expect to be stopped by a suddenly appearing Wuji Palace.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be much, after all, their Yao Race could be said to be the strongest generation in hundreds of thousands of years.

Above, there were Emperor Jun and East Emperor Taiyi, two Great Emperors of the Third Realm, overseeing them; below, there were their four Quasi-Emperors; and further down, there were even more God King Realm powerhouses. In the future, defeating the Human Race and restoring the Yao Race was just around the corner.

But what he didn't expect was that with what he considered a normal outing, the two Demon Emperors both tragically lost their lives.

At that time, he naturally paid attention to the intense battle above the Illusion Blue Sea. Although he didn't know why the two Demon Emperors attacked the people of Wuji Palace, he still hoped that they would win.

And when Lin Xiao descended later, the situation immediately changed. Dragon Flame watched with his own eyes how the two Demon Emperors were easily suppressed and killed by Lin Xiao.

Looking at the empty stone seat in front of him, Dragon Flame gritted his teeth, his fists clenched. At this moment, his hatred for Lin Xiao had risen to an unprecedented level.

It was all because of this guy that their Demon God Hall fell from grace in a single day. Now, they even had to grudgingly give up most of the Demon Domain territory to the Human Race and retreat to a Secret Realm.

After a long silence, Dragon Flame turned his head to look behind him and said in a deep voice.

“White Pian, come see me.”

Not long after, White Pian's figure appeared in the hall. Looking at Dragon Flame, who had his back to her, she frowned and said.

“What's wrong, Dragon Flame.”

“White Pian.”

Dragon Flame turned around, and only then did White Pian see that his eyes were bloodshot. Before she could say anything, he spoke again.

“I want to Breakthrough. Help me Protector.”

Hearing this, White Pian was also stunned for a moment, and when she recovered, her eyes widened instantly, showing a look of surprise.

“You’ve decided??”

“Mm.”

Dragon Flame nodded slightly, glanced sideways at the two empty stone seats, and then spoke in a deep voice.

“The Yao Race cannot be without a Great Emperor now.”

“…”

White Pian was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked deeply at him, before turning and disappearing from the spot, only her voice remaining.

“Understood. I will Protector you. Go ahead with peace of mind.”

Hearing this, a smile also appeared on Dragon Flame's face, and then he flashed and disappeared from the spot. The solemn and majestic hall instantly became empty, with only the two stone seats standing quietly on the high platform.

Perhaps not long from now, this position will welcome a new master…

…

Wuji Palace.

Sect Great Hall, usually rarely visited, was exceptionally lively today.

At a glance, An Lan, Zhu Rong, Kaido, Qing Luo, and even Elders like Zhang Liang and Li Ming were all gathered here. Even Bone Cultivator, who had just recovered from his injuries two days ago, was present under Blue Heart's care.

Besides the Elders, there were also Personal Disciples of the Palace Master or Elders, such as Yun Ling'er and Bai Jian. At this moment, they were all different from their usual relaxed demeanor, standing upright in place, gazing at the empty seat at the very top, seemingly waiting for something.

“Yo, looks like everyone's here.”

As a lazy voice resounded in the hall, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the empty seat and sat down. Seeing this, everyone else immediately perked up, saluting in unison while speaking.

“Palace Master!”

“Mm.”

Looking at the crowd below, a faint smile also appeared on Lin Xiao's face, feeling inexplicably emotional.

He recalled that when he first woke up in this world, he had nothing but his strength, but now, he also had his own power and bonds.

“To save time, let's not beat around the bush.”

Shaking his head to cast aside those chaotic thoughts, Lin Xiao's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice.

“Why I called everyone here today, I believe you all know. It is to occupy the Demon Domain and expand the territory for my Wuji Palace!”

“Palace Master, when do we depart?”

Below, Kaido, carrying his Thunder Wolf Rod, grinned and said with a face full of Battle Intent.

“I heard those Yao Race bodies are quite tough. I wonder if they can take a beating.”

“Right.”

Next to him, Qing Luo, who was floating in the air on an umbrella handle, also chimed in.

“I heard that Dragon Flame dared to lead people to surround and kill Sister Blue Heart and Little Ruobing! When the time comes, we must beat him to death, roast him, and eat his meat!”

“Not bad.”

Bai Jie and Zhou Meng, who were next to them, also nodded, saying in unison.

“Kill him! X2”

“…”

Looking at the Killing Intent-filled crowd below, Lin Xiao's mouth twitched slightly. The atmosphere was already so charged, which saved him the trouble of speaking. His original idea of giving a pre-battle mobilization also dissipated.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao raised his hand, and dozens of points of starlight instantly lit up around him, accompanying his wave as they floated down towards the crowd below.

Under everyone's curious gazes, the light clusters dispersed, finally landing evenly in front of them, suspended in the air, looking quite peculiar.

Another strange point was that almost everyone had these light clusters, except for An Lan, Zhu Rong, and Bone Cultivator, who stood in the first row, in front of whom there was nothing.

“This is…”

As everyone exchanged glances, they seemed to understand something, but they still directed their gazes at Lin Xiao, waiting for him to speak.

Lin Xiao, seeing this, rolled his eyes and said grumpily.

“What are you all looking at this Seat for? Take them.”

“Yes.”

Hearing this, everyone then raised their hands to take the objects in front of them, and upon touching their palms, the light clusters also dissipated, revealing the contents within.

“Hmm?”

And upon seeing the objects in their hands, everyone's expressions changed, becoming wonderful.
