28: When asking for help, you should act like you're asking for help.

After burning his vital blood to rush the journey, the path that originally took three hours was forcibly compressed to two and a half.

Upon finally arriving at the Fierce Blade Imperial Capital, Xu Fengyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once he relaxed, his Face was extremely pale.

After all, even for a Saint, burning vital blood was an extremely damaging act.

However, Xu Fengyuan could not concern himself with these matters now, and he hurriedly arrived before the Fierce Blade Imperial Palace.

"Old Ancestor Xu Fengyuan of the Dayan Dynasty requests an audience with the Ruler of the Fierce Blade Dynasty."

As Xu Fengyuan finished speaking, a powerful aura erupted from the Imperial Palace not long after.

Immediately, a figure appeared above him, looking down at Xu Fengyuan with a scornful expression.

"What business do you have with His Majesty?"

"My Dayan Dynasty has suffered an invasion by a hostile Imperial Dynasty and is about to collapse. I beg the Fierce Blade Dynasty to intervene and save my Dayan Imperial Capital!"

In order to save the Dayan Dynasty, Xu Fengyuan hurriedly bowed, his tone anxious.

"That does not look like someone asking for a favor."

Hearing the other party's words, Xu Fengyuan's eyes turned bloodshot, and a surge of rage rose in his heart.

But ultimately, for the sake of the Dayan Dynasty, he managed to suppress it.

With a bang, Xu Fengyuan knelt down.

"I beg you, save my Dayan Dynasty."

"That's better, this looks like someone asking for a favor. Come in."

As the figure in the sky spoke, Xu Fengyuan received permission, hurriedly stood up, and followed him into the Imperial Palace.

Under his guidance, Xu Fengyuan was finally brought before the Ruler of the Fierce Blade Dynasty.

Seeing the middle-aged man seated on the Profound Gold Imperial Throne before him, Xu Fengyuan immediately knelt down.

"Greetings, Ruler of the Fierce Blade Dynasty."

"Tell me, who exactly dared to attack the vassal Imperial Dynasty of my Fierce Blade Dynasty?"

"Also, did your Dayan Dynasty not announce that it was a vassal of my Fierce Blade Dynasty?"

On the Profound Gold Imperial Throne, Qin Tiandao, the Ruler of the Fierce Blade Dynasty, idly played with two beads, one black and one white, his tone lazy.

Faced with Qin Tiandao, Xu Fengyuan dared not hide anything and quickly recounted the matters concerning the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty one by one.

"Your Majesty, I do not know where the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty suddenly produced two Peak Great Saints. I fear the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty obtained some incredible Supreme Treasure, which is why they dared to attack my Dayan Dynasty."

Finally, Xu Fengyuan spoke cautiously.

After all, the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty was previously on par with his Dayan Dynasty in strength, yet they suddenly produced two Peak Great Saints.

This made it hard not to speculate whether the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty had encountered some Opportunity?

Hearing this, Qin Tiandao looked at Xu Fengyuan and snorted coldly.

"I do not need you to teach me what to do."

"I dare not!" Xu Fengyuan quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin Tiandao.

After hearing the news about the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, Qin Tiandao pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a plan.

"Second Old Ancestor, since that is the case, you shall accompany him on this trip. Resolve the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, and then see if there is anything worth bringing back."

"Yes."

As Qin Tiandao finished speaking, a voice sounded in the hall, and a figure appeared before Xu Fengyuan.

It was the Second Old Ancestor of the Fierce Blade Dynasty, one of the two Peak Saint Kings, Qin Guxu.

After Qin Guxu left with Xu Fengyuan, Qin Tiandao fell into deep thought, but ultimately dismissed the unsettling thought.

The Second Old Ancestor is a Peak Saint King. Even if a mere Fifth-Rank Imperial Dynasty obtained some heaven-shaking Supreme Treasure, could they overturn things in a short time?

Meanwhile, at the Dayan Imperial Capital.

"Activate the formation!"

Seeing the Ancient Heaven Army appear less than twenty li from the Imperial Capital, the Old Ancestors of the Imperial Dynasty could no longer hold back and directly activated the Nation Protecting Grand Array.

Instantly, several pillars of light rose from the surroundings of the Dayan Imperial Capital, and a faint membrane of light connected the pillars, enveloping the entire Dayan Imperial Capital.

Within the Ancient Heaven Army, Lin Zilong's expression became slightly solemn upon seeing the Nation Protecting Grand Array.

Because he could tell that it was an Eighth-Rank Grand Array.

An Eighth-Rank Grand Array was enough to hold off a Saint for a considerable amount of time.

"Two Seniors, I trouble you both."

Lin Zilong cupped his hands in a request to the two beside him.

"The Saint level and above are my responsibility; the Saint level and below are yours."

"Yes."

As Lin Zilong acknowledged, Gu Hu disappeared.

When he reappeared, he brought down a single finger, and the powerful Nation Protecting Grand Array, capable of resisting a Saint, instantly collapsed.

"What!"

Inside the Imperial Capital, the Faces of those few Saint Old Ancestors changed drastically, but recalling the strength of Gu Long and Gu Hu, it seemed like everything was within reason.

"Senior, please stop! My Dayan Dynasty has already become a vassal of the Fierce Blade Dynasty. I implore you to stop for the sake of the Fierce Blade Dynasty's Face!"

Seeing Gu Hu standing above the Imperial Palace, a Late Stage Saint Old Ancestor attempted to persuade them to cease their attack.

But clearly, they overestimated the Fierce Blade Dynasty.

"Noisy. Even if the Fierce Blade Dynasty were here, they would only meet a dead end."

A trace of impatience flashed across Gu Hu's brow, and then he brought down a finger, directly slaying the Late Stage Saint Old Ancestor who had spoken.

The remaining few Saint Old Ancestors were so terrified that they trembled, not daring to speak again like quails.

As for the so-called Fierce Blade Dynasty, Gu Hu naturally knew of it.

However, he did not take it seriously; even if he acted alone, he could annihilate the entire Fierce Blade Dynasty.

Not far away, seeing the Nation Protecting Grand Array destroyed, Lin Zilong no longer stood by watching. With an order, he led the army to charge toward the Imperial Capital.

The five thousand Imperial Guard Army stationed at the Imperial Capital were nothing before Lin Zilong and the others, and they were soon massacred.

"Senior."

After successfully meeting up with Gu Hu, Lin Zilong looked at the few Saint Old Ancestors, contemplating how to deal with them.

At this moment, King Gu Ji stepped forward.

"Senior, could you possibly place a Restriction on them so they can be used by me?"

King Gu Ji was about to take over the entire Dayan Dynasty next and naturally needed some capable individuals at hand.

Although he wasn't particularly fond of King Gu Ji, Gu Hu nodded and agreed.

"Yes."

After agreeing, Gu Hu looked at them and spoke.

"If you do not wish to die, then swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to forever serve King Gu Ji without betrayal, or Face the wrath of ten thousand thunders."

Faced with Gu Hu's aggressive demands, even though they were unwilling, they could only submit.

But just as they were about to swear the Heavenly Dao Oath, Gu Hu sensed something and looked toward the north.

Two figures were rapidly approaching from the north, stopping above the Imperial Palace shortly after.

It was Qin Guxu and Xu Fengyuan.

"Old Ancestor, you've returned!"

Seeing that their Old Ancestor had returned with reinforcements, the few Saints immediately felt a sense of survival and spoke excitedly.

Xu Fengyuan, however, had a grim expression and spoke to Gu Hu and Gu Long.

"You are simply courting death! Now that a Senior from the Fierce Blade Dynasty has arrived, surrender immediately, or Face execution without mercy!"
