165: Chapter 165 Two Demonic Beasts Above the Imperial Palace

The massive Fire Phoenix spread its wings; the black dragon was wreathed in faint mist.

The two behemoths circled above the Great Xia Imperial Palace, casting shadows that almost covered half of the Imperial City.

"What... what is that?!"

"Monsters! There are monsters!"

"Protect the Emperor! Quickly, protect the Emperor!"

The Imperial Palace was instantly thrown into chaos. The guards drew their swords, but finding that the two Yao Beasts were only circling and not descending, they were at a loss for what to do and could only look at each other in dismay.

Inside the Imperial Study, Emperor Xia Yu, who was reviewing memorials, heard the commotion outside. He frowned immediately, his expression darkening: "What is all this commotion outside?"

"Y-Your Majesty!" A eunuch, hearing Emperor Xia Yu's voice, rushed in. He swallowed hard and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you must go out and look. Above the Imperial Palace... there is a Dragon! And a Phoenix!"

"What? You say there is a Dragon and a Phoenix outside?" Emperor Xia Yu put down the memorial in his hand, his expression stunned for a moment. Without thinking, he quickly walked out of the Imperial Study.

When he looked up, even as the Emperor of Great Xia, he could not help but gasp.

On the other side, Commander Qin Hu, who had followed Emperor Xia Yu out, saw the scene in the sky and his eyes widened, his mouth agape, unable to speak.

His hand rested on the hilt of his sword unconsciously, but he wore a bitter smile. Against an existence of this level, what use was he, a mere existence in the Xiaoyao Heavenly Realm?

In front of the Jin Wang Palace.

Leng Yuexi, in Xia Jin's arms, clutched his lapels tightly, but seeing her husband's calm expression, she instantly understood a little.

It seemed that her husband must have known these two Yao Beasts would come.

Leng Yuexi then calmed down and carefully examined the two massive Yao Beasts in the sky. Even with her extensive knowledge, she had never seen a real Yao Beast, let alone the top-tier Fire Phoenix and black dragon of the Dongxuan Continent!

Inside the palace, Su Xuanji, who had just fallen back asleep, was awakened by the commotion outside. She groggily put on an outer garment and walked out.

Her face still bore an unfaded flush, but when she looked up and saw the two massive figures in the sky, she instantly became wide awake.

"Th-this is... what kind of Yao Beast?" Su Xuanji covered her mouth, seemingly feeling a chill. Forgetting her shyness, she subconsciously leaned closer to Xia Jin.

"Rest assured, these two Yao Beasts are here to find me." Xia Jin held Leng Yuexi with one hand and naturally pulled Su Xuanji into his arms with the other.

After noticing Xia Jin's action, Su Xuanji blushed. Just as she was about to say something, she heard movement not far away and immediately closed her mouth.

In the distance, Emperor Xia Yu was walking over quickly, followed by a large group of guards and eunuchs. He glanced at the two Yao Beasts in the sky, then looked at his older brother. Seeing that Xia Jin's expression was normal, as if he had known all this, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Older Brother, are these two Yao Beasts above here to see you..." Emperor Xia Yu walked to Xia Jin's side and asked in confusion.

Before Xia Jin could speak, a deep voice came from the sky: "Master, we have brought the person you wanted."

Subsequently, a figure was thrown down.

That's right, this was indeed the voice of the black dragon!

Ma... Master? That Yao Beast that looked like a black dragon actually called his older brother Master?

Emperor Xia Yu was stunned.

Commander Qin Hu was stunned.

All the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids were stunned.

Emperor Xia Yu stared wide-eyed at his older brother, his voice stuttering: "O-Older Brother, it... it called you Master?"

Leng Yuexi and Su Xuanji, in Xia Jin's arms, exchanged a glance, then both looked up at Xia Jin at the same time, their beautiful eyes filled with shock.

However, in their eyes, besides shock, there was also a hint of admiration.

This was their man, the strongest man on the Dongxuan Continent.

"Your Highness..." Just as everyone was dazed, Commander Qin Hu swallowed his saliva and was about to speak, but saw Xia Jin wave his hand.

"Do not be surprised."

Xia Jin smiled and said, "These two were specifically subdued by me. When I head to the Divine Temple later, if Great Xia encounters any unsolvable difficulties, they will take action."

After speaking, Xia Jin waved his hand, and two tokens flew from his sleeves, landing directly in front of the Fire Phoenix and the black dragon.

"You did well this time." Xia Jin nodded at the Fire Phoenix and the black dragon. "If there is nothing else, you may return first. In the future, if there is anything, someone will contact you through these two tokens!"

"Yes, Master!" The black dragon bowed its head respectfully, and the Fire Phoenix also let out a clear cry.

The two Yao Beasts saluted Xia Jin again, then turned and flew towards the distant horizon.

Not until the two Yao Beasts completely disappeared did the people in the Imperial Palace breathe a long sigh of relief.

A few timid eunuchs even had their legs go weak and sat directly on the ground. However, at this moment, everyone's attention was on the two departing Yao Beasts, and no one noticed them.

Xia Jin withdrew his gaze, took out two tokens identical to the previous ones, and tossed them to Emperor Xia Yu.

"In the future, if there are matters you cannot resolve, you can contact the black dragon and the Fire Phoenix through these tokens." Xia Jin said indifferently, "Crush the token, and they will perceive it."

Emperor Xia Yu caught the tokens in a flurry, looked down at them, and his hands trembled with excitement.

As the Emperor of Great Xia, Emperor Xia Yu knew too well what this meant. To put it bluntly, for Great Xia to have today, it all depended on his older brother.

But if his older brother went to the Divine Temple, facing other forces from the Tianqi Continent that might break into the Dongxuan Continent at any time, even with his two sisters-in-law here, it would likely be difficult to match them.

But with these two Yao Beasts guarding, even if Great Xia faced even stronger enemies, it would have the power to protect itself.

"Older Brother, rest assured!" Emperor Xia Yu carefully put the tokens into his robe and said solemnly, "I will definitely keep these tokens safe and will never use them unless it is absolutely necessary!"

Xia Jin nodded, then cast his gaze towards the ground.

There, the unconscious Blood Corpse was lying on the ground, the aura it exuded was much weaker than before.

Xia Jin raised his hand and tapped lightly.

A stream of spiritual power entered the Blood Corpse's body.

The Blood Corpse opened its eyes abruptly, its turbid eyes rolled around, and it soon saw Xia Jin standing not far away. Its pupils instantly constricted, and its body subconsciously shrank backward.

"You... why are you here?! I clearly remember that black dragon... me..." The Blood Corpse's voice was filled with terror. Before it could finish speaking, a thought instantly arose in its mind: "Escape! Must find a way to escape from here immediately."

It hurriedly tried to climb up and retreated two steps, but it had no strength at all. However, it was unwilling to give up and tried to escape with its last bit of strength.

However, Xia Jin just looked at it.

Just one look.

The Blood Corpse's body seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, unable to move.

"Did I give you permission to leave?"
