359: Chapter 359 The Return of the Saints

After speaking, the Merfolk Race general immediately led the army without hesitation, quickly forming a powerful and tight battle formation, and then aggressively launched an attack towards Qin Xiao.

As the battle formation took shape, an enormous and astonishing Ice Dragon suddenly appeared above their heads.

The Ice Dragon's body was massive, exuding a bone-chilling coldness, as if it could freeze the entire world.

"Roar!"

The Ice Dragon let out earth-shattering roars, its voice echoing through the clouds, making one feel endless pressure and fear.

Immediately after, it unhesitatingly opened its gaping maw and lunged straight at Qin Xiao with astonishing speed!

"Hmph! How overconfident!"

When Qin Xiao saw this scene, the corner of his mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a sneer of disdain.

A golden light flashed in his hand, and a dazzling long spear appeared in his grasp!

Qin Xiao waved his arm, and the long spear shot out like lightning, carrying unparalleled power and might, rushing straight towards the Ice Dragon.

"Bang!"

An earth-shattering crash suddenly resounded, and the long spear, like a golden lightning bolt, accurately pierced directly into the Ice Dragon's body.

In an instant, immense impact force erupted, creating a deafening roar.

Immediately after, a shocking scene unfolded.

The Ice Dragon's entire body instantly shattered completely, turning into countless broken ice shards that scattered everywhere!

"Pfft!"

The Ice Dragon's pulverization brought a strong backlash, and the Merfolk Race soldiers were utterly unable to withstand this powerful impact.

They were instantly heavily wounded, spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood, their bodies swaying precariously, clearly not lightly injured.

After doing all this, Qin Xiao no longer paid attention to these people!

He waved his hand downwards, and Yu Tianxing, along with the crystal fish tank, flew towards him!

Qin Xiao put Yu Tianxing and Yu Weiwei into the Bronze Ancient Hall, then tore open a spatial rift in front of him and disappeared from the scene!

..........

On the other side, in the Southwest Ninety-Six Divine Continents, a spatial rift appeared in the sky!

Then, several figures stepped out from the spatial rift; these were the ten Saints who had gone to hunt down Soul Refining Demonic Saint Lü Changshou.

However, three figures were missing from this group, and the remaining seven were all covered in blood, looking very disheveled!

The ten of them chased Soul Refining Demonic Saint Lü Changshou all the way to the depths of the Void Realm, and it took them immense effort to catch up to him!

Then, a great battle erupted with him in the depths of the Void Realm. Soul Refining Demonic Saint Lü Changshou was indeed powerful, but at this moment, he had not recovered to his Peak state!

His combat power was not even half of his Peak state, so he was no match for the ten of them. After a month of fierce fighting, they forced him into a desperate situation.

However, Lü Changshou was also a ruthless character. Seeing that he could not escape, he decisively self-detonated, intending to drag them down with him.

This earth-shattering explosion instantly severely wounded them, and three of them died tragically on the spot, forever remaining in the depths of the Void Realm!

Among the three who died was Nangong Ling's grandfather, Nangong Xiaotian.

After resting for a while, the seven traveled for some more time before returning to the Southwest Ninety-Six Divine Continents.

As soon as he landed, the Ancient Emperor received news from the Taigu Dynasty, and his expression instantly changed drastically!

Without even greeting the others, he hastily tore space and rushed towards the Taigu Dynasty.

On the other side, the Ancient Moon Dynasty's Ancestor and the Ancient Yan Sword Sect's Old Ancestor also instantly received news from their respective forces, their expressions simultaneously changing drastically as they quickly tore space and rushed back!

This left only the four Saints looking at each other in the arena.

"What's wrong with them? Did something happen within their forces?"

"It seems so, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry!"

Seeing the three leave in such a rush, the four exchanged glances and said softly.

Then, the four also separated, returning to their own forces!

In the Imperial Palace of the Taigu Dynasty, a spatial rift appeared in the sky, and then the Ancient Emperor's figure stepped out from the spatial rift, appearing in the Imperial Palace!

"Father, you're finally back!"

Gu Shentong, seeing the Ancient Emperor return, immediately excitedly went to greet him!

During the Ancient Emperor's absence, many things happened in the Taigu Dynasty. If he didn't return soon, his Taigu Dynasty might be overthrown.

"Hmm!"

The Ancient Emperor nodded slightly, and then absorbed his spiritual body back into his physical body.

The moment the spiritual body entered his body, he immediately knew what had happened in the Taigu Dynasty during this period!

"What a Qin Xiao, what a Great Celebration Venerable, what a Great Sage of Virtue! You truly have immense audacity! I will definitely not let you off!"

After learning the course of events, a terrifying killing intent instantly erupted from the Ancient Emperor's body, and he spoke in a deep, chilling tone!

During his absence, that damned fellow actually caused such a huge commotion in his Taigu Dynasty, looking at the Qi Luck Golden Dragon whose body had shrunk by a third.

The Ancient Emperor was filled with raging anger. Who knew how many years it would take to accumulate so much Luck again?

The enraged Ancient Emperor tore open a spatial rift in front of him, and with a flash of his figure, immediately arrived in a luxurious grand hall!

This grand hall was desolate, with hardly any guests!

However, only those familiar with this grand hall would know that this grand hall was the main hall of Tianji Pavilion in the Southwest Ninety-Six Divine Continents.

The person in charge of this main hall was also a Saint, skilled in the art of heavenly machine calculation, with profound Dao cultivation.

"Ancient Emperor, you've arrived. I know why you're here, but there's no rush. Wait a little longer for the next three guests!"

The hall master of this main hall was a middle-aged man in white, named Yu Tianji. He was counting a string of beads in his hand, speaking in a calm tone!

He seemed to have already anticipated the Ancient Emperor's purpose in coming to him!

"Who are you waiting for?"

The Ancient Emperor frowned upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.

"They're here, you'll know if you just look behind you!"

Yu Tianji pointed behind the Ancient Emperor, speaking in a calm tone.

As his voice fell, a spatial rift appeared in the sky, and then three figures stepped out from within.

"Xuantian Saint, the Ancient Moon Dynasty's Ancestor, the Ancient Yan Sword Sect's Old Ancestor, it's actually these three!"

Seeing these three appear, a strange look appeared in the Ancient Emperor's eyes. Could their purpose in coming be the same as his?

Otherwise, why would Yu Tianji make him wait for the three of them to arrive?
