Chapter 561 - 561 Trembling in the Storm
561 Trembling in the Storm
The current Azure Dragon Domain had become unstable because of the fall of the Azure Dragon Mountain.
If this matter was not handled properly, all the accumulation and persistence of the Azure Dragon Domain for countless years would be wasted.
It would be gradually declining.
In the end, it would die in the vast universe.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Lan He decided that he had to go to this historical remnant that had yet to appear.
“During the capture of Jin Jia, everyone has to protect Azure Dragon City! No one can take advantage of the situation. Our Azure Dragon lineage can’t withstand any blows now.”
Lan He rubbed his temples and spoke again.
“Okay, Big Brother Lan He!”
Everyone nodded. They were helpless now. They could only protect Azure Dragon City.
“By the way, is there any news about Hong Yan?”
Lan He recalled that Hong Yan still had the Disillusionment Mirror in his hand. This made him inexplicably flustered.
“No.” Cheng Chen shook her head with a helpless expression.
“What about Jun’er?” When Lan He heard that there was no news of Hong Yan, his head hurt even more.
“No, either.”
“Then what about the others who followed them? Where’s the Black and White Chess Saint?” Lan He began to become a little anxious, and his tone became anxious.
“There’s no news.”
When Lan He heard this, he immediately stood up and didn’t say anything.
He waved at the elders in the Elder Hall and left.
At this moment, he was distraught. If he did not leave this depressing place, he would probably do something irrational.
What was going on? Jin Jia had betrayed them! Hong Yan was missing! There was no news of Jun’er either!
This batch of elders was too difficult to lead!
Lan He shook his head and sighed in his heart. He returned to his own mansion.
Deep in the mansion, in a secret space.
A green spear floated in the air. Lightning power surrounded the spear, and even space shattered.
This was the Divine Splitting Spear.
One of the three supreme treasures of the Azure Dragon Domain and the only one currently.
The Disillusionment Mirror had already been taken away and there was still no news of it.
The Azure Dragon Seal had always been on the Azure Dragon Mountain and was a token of the Grand Elders. Now, it had been lost.
He was currently in charge of this Divine Splitting Spear. At the same time, it was a powerful weapon controlled by the previous heads of the Elders Hall.
Each of the three supreme treasures of the Azure Dragon Domain had the ability to destroy fear. Now that there was only one left, he had to keep it safe. Otherwise, if anything went wrong and the Fear Legion descended, the entire Azure Dragon Domain would be destroyed!
The Fear Legion was an army formed by more than 10,000 Fear Incarnations. There were 1,000 of them in a regiment, and every regiment had a commander who had the combat strength of a lower-grade Original Realm expert!
As for the commanders of the Fear Legion, there were usually three commanders. One was the main commander, and two were the deputy commanders. They had the combat strength of the High-grade Original Realm and the Medium-grade Original Realm.
In other words, a Fear Army had a High-grade Original Realm, two Medium-grade Original Realms, and ten low-grade Original Realm experts!
As for the other members of the army, they had all stepped into the Saint Realm!
With such strength, not to mention the current Azure Dragon Domain, even at its peak, it was very difficult to match them.
“This is troublesome!”
Lan He raised his head and looked at the Divine Splitting Spear floating in the air. His brows were tightly furrowed. After a long while, he sighed and muttered, “I’m afraid the alliance of the Four Regions is not very reliable now.”
A long time ago, in order to resist the Fear Army together, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise formed an alliance called the Four Square Regions Alliance.
Their goal was to fight against foreign enemies together and improve together.
Now, more than a hundred eras had passed since the alliance was formed. Originally, Lan He felt that this alliance might continue.
However, at this moment, he was suspicious.
“The Four Square Regions have faced a common enemy for countless years. Now that such a tragedy has happened in the Azure Dragon Domain, there’s actually a traitor in the Elder Hall! What about the other Domains? Did a similar situation happen?”
Lan He frowned and thought to himself.
For some reason, he felt that Jin Jia’s betrayal was not as simple as it seemed.
Also, no matter how strong Jin Jia was, he was only similar to him.
However, in the Azure Dragon Mountain Mystic Realm, the lowest realm of those Grand Elders was at the Medium-grade Original Realm. In that case, how could Jin Jia alone cause the Azure Dragon Mountain Mystic Realm to be in such a mess without alerting anyone?
Although Lan He himself was not particularly clear about the exact situation of the Azure Dragon Mountain Mystic Realm, he understood one thing. There was a high-grade Original Realm expert presiding over Azure Dragon Mountain.
This meant that there were Grand Elders above the seventh-grade Original Realm in the Azure Dragon Mountain Mystic Realm!
Although middle-grade and high-grade sounded similar, the difference in strength between the two was definitely worlds apart!
A seventh-grade Original Realm expert could easily kill a peak sixth-grade Original Realm expert!
In the Original Realm, the difference in strength between the high, middle, and low ranks was like a chasm that was difficult to cross!
“But why?! Why was the Azure Dragon Mystic Domain, which has a high-ranked powerhouse guarding it, destroyed so silently? Could it be that… the person behind the scenes also has a high-ranked powerhouse? Moreover, there’s more than one?”
Lan He’s gaze was gloomy.
The Azure Dragon Mountain mystic realm was destroyed silently. If the invaders’ strength didn’t far exceeded the Grand Elders guarding the Azure Dragon Mountain, at the moment of life and death, the Grand Elders would definitely spread the news and inform the people outside about the situation in the mystic realm.
However, this did not happen!
Lan He took in a deep breath. His heart was filled with fear.
Who was the other party?
Light Domain?
However, the Light Domain was very far from the Four Square Regions. If the other party had sneaked over, they would definitely have revealed some clues halfway. They would not have been so silent!
Outside the four regions, there was a defensive barrier formed by the joint efforts of four top-notch powerhouses. If someone from the outside world came, even a High-grade Original Realm cultivator would definitely not be able to enter easily without permission!
Even if he barged in, he would definitely cause a huge commotion!
Other than powerful enemies from the outside world, those who could travel between the Four Square Regions without caring about the defensive barrier could only be from the other Domains in the Four Square Regions!
“There’s… a traitor among us!”
Lan He’s expression was gloomy. At this moment, he was in a daze.
Only this speculation was true, then everything could be explained.
Jin Jia was only the tip of the iceberg.
Among the members of the Four Square Regions, at least one Domain had already been infiltrated by the enemy and completely turned into a traitor!
Which Domain was it?
White Tiger Domain? Vermilion Bird Domain? Or the Black Tortoise Domain?
He didn’t know.
He didn’t have much of a clue.
“Damn it!”
Regarding the current situation, Lan He had a headache.
Lan He cursed in his heart. He raised his hand and waved. The Divine Splitting Spear let out an ear-splitting roar. It carried the power of thousands of thunderbolts and landed in his hand. The spear trembled non-stop, and space was torn apart.
“Divine Splitting, in this battle… go all out!”
Lan He shouted in a low voice and put the Divine Splitting Spear back into his body. The origin power in his body boiled and surrounded the Divine Splitting Spear, cheering.
A shocking Spear Intent pierced through the void and tore space into pieces. Lan He took a step forward and his figure flashed, completely disappearing from the shattered space.
He had to prepare for battle. During this period of time, he had to use his origin power to nurture the Divine Splitting Spear in case of emergencies!
He was determined to explore the ruins!
If anyone dared to stop him, he would fight them to the death!
He had already entrusted all the future of the Azure Dragon Domain to this!
“I don’t know where those old farts went. Whether they’re dead or alive, at least leave a message, right? They left a pile of mess for me to clean up. Damn it, I don’t want to be the Chief of this bullsh*t Elder Hall anymore!”
In the endless void, a stream of light tore through the air.
At this moment, Lan He no longer had the gentle and refined middle-aged scholar’s aura from before. Instead, his hair was disheveled, and his chest was exposed. His gaze was like a sword as he looked disdainfully at the sky. He looked incomparably arrogant!
“After being an elder for tens of thousands of years, my drive is almost worn away! This is good too. Perhaps… this is also an opportunity. With the Divine Splitting Spear, I might be able to take another step forward!”
Inside Lan He’s body, the Divine Splitting Spear Intent was filled with fighting spirit, as if it was responding to him.
