#626 - Unexpected attitude
Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom.
This was an ancient kingdom located in the center of the Primordial World, with boundless territory, abundant spiritual energy, and towering cities.
The kingdom was predominantly inhabited by humans, with few Primordial beasts, making it very prosperous and offering a much better living environment than the Primordial tribes.
The royal capital of the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom was even more vast and boundless, with towering city walls and countless pavilions and palaces, surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The streets were bustling with people, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
The magnificent and resplendent imperial palace was located in the center of the royal capital, with towering palaces that resembled gigantic Primordial beasts entrenched, exuding immense pressure.
But on this day, the peace of the imperial palace was broken.
A floating island descended from the sky, with a Chinese scholar tree swaying in the wind, surrounded by mysterious brilliance, making it extraordinary and mysterious.
Buzz—
As the floating island descended, countless patterns instantly lit up on the ground around the imperial palace, with ancient and primitive runes imprinted in the void, blooming with immortal power.
They intertwined to form a massive formation.
This was not just a defensive formation, but also a killing formation, combining offense and defense.
Countless beams of light shot into the sky, like sharp swords, slashing towards the floating island from all directions.
With a "chi" sound, the verdant branches of the old scholar tree rapidly spread, propping up a light curtain to block the overwhelming killing light.
Moreover, the branches actively attacked, resembling chains of order descending, rustling and flashing as they pierced towards the defensive formation of the imperial palace!
Boom—
Accompanied by a series of huge roars, the verdant branches pierced through the countless runes and shattered the ground formation patterns.
The terrifying power was like a raging wave, vast and mighty, forcibly tearing a gap in this ancient and powerful formation!
"Presumptuous!"
"Daring to cause trouble in my Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom's royal capital, you're courting death!!"
An angry shout echoed, like a thunderclap from the nine heavens, shaking all directions.
It was an old man wearing a purple python robe, striking out with a palm from afar, accompanied by the blooming of golden light, so dazzling that it made people's eyes ache and difficult to look directly at, transforming into a giant hand that blotted out the sky, vast and boundless.
This palm was too enormous, as if the sky was pressing down, completely covering the floating island, wanting to grab it in the palm of his hand and directly suppress it.
Without a doubt, the person who made the move was extremely powerful, this was a great divine power technique!
But his opponent was the old scholar tree!
Countless branches crisscrossed, blooming with verdant light, instantly piercing through this palm.
Accompanied by a mysterious aura fluctuating and spreading, this palm directly exploded.
The purple-robed old man groaned, retreating several steps, his palm full of blood.
In the previous contest, he had fallen into a disadvantage and suffered a minor injury.
"It has been a long time since anyone dared to cause trouble in my Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom's royal capital, you are courting death!"
Soon, several more Heavenly God Realm experts rushed out from the imperial palace, emitting powerful auras, like rounds of blazing suns hanging in the sky, giving people endless pressure!
Deep within the imperial palace, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe opened his eyes, his eyes flowing with golden light, crossing layers of space to stare at the old scholar tree and Su Chen's group on the floating island.
"As expected, they still came?"
The Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom Emperor muttered softly, his eyes deep and calm, without the slightest surprise, as if he had long foreseen this scene!
"Who are you?!"
The purple-robed old man's palm glowed, his injury healing instantly.
He stared intently at the old scholar tree, his brow furrowed.
For some reason, he always felt that this mysterious and terrifying scholar tree had a familiar feeling, as if he had heard of it somewhere!
Luo Yue took a deep breath, standing under the old scholar tree, facing the purple-robed old man and other Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom experts from afar, and said word by word: "We are the descendants of the Lieyang Prince lineage from 200,000 years ago in the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom.
Today, we have returned to the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom to take back everything that belongs to our lineage!"
"200,000 years ago, Lieyang Prince... it's you!?!"
As soon as Luo Yue's words came out, it immediately caused a great uproar, and the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom experts were all shocked, revealing incredible gazes!
Although the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom was a kingdom, it was too vast and had a long heritage.
Even within the royal family, there were actually many factions!
200,000 years ago, the Lieyang Prince lineage and the then Crown Prince lineage were the two strongest factions of the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom's royal family!
At that time, the two factions directly launched a full-scale battle to compete for the throne, causing the entire Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom to fall into turmoil and civil strife.
In the end, the Lieyang Prince lineage fell into a disadvantage, unable to defeat the then Crown Prince lineage, suffering heavy losses, and was forced to flee the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom, disappearing ever since.
And the then Crown Prince ascended the throne and became emperor.
Until this generation, the emperor of the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom is still a descendant of his lineage!
The Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom experts did not expect that the descendants of the Lieyang Prince lineage would dare to return!
Did they not know who they were facing?
"Lieyang Prince... it's you!?!"
The purple-robed old man stared intently at the old scholar tree, his heart stirred by a great wave!
He finally remembered the true identity of the old scholar tree!
No wonder the descendants of the Lieyang Prince had the confidence to return to the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom!
"Hmph, the victor is king, the loser is villain.
Back then, your Lieyang Prince lineage stirred up civil strife in the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom, which was already a serious crime, and now you dare to return!"
"Good, good, good... since you have returned, the sins committed by the Lieyang Prince lineage back then will be borne by you!"
"Come, capture them!"
After the initial shock, the purple-robed old man and others all looked cold, and they all issued stern shouts, summoning the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom's guard army to surround the old scholar tree and Su Chen's group!
Clang—
Su Chen and the Lieyang Tribe and others drew their weapons and magic treasures, their expressions cold, ready to fight to the death at any time.
"Stop."
At this moment, a dignified voice slowly sounded, echoing between heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty?"
The purple-robed old man and others were all stunned, because the speaker was the current emperor of the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom!
"Since they are members of my Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom's royal family, it is only right to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.
Come to the Golden Luan Hall for a chat."
The Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom Emperor did not show himself, his dignified and calm voice came from the Golden Luan Hall.
As soon as this statement came out, whether it was the purple-robed old man and others, or the people of the Lieyang Tribe, they were all stunned, which was really unexpected.
Even the old scholar tree narrowed its eyes slightly, feeling a little surprised.
According to a corner of the future it saw, the Lieyang Tribe would have a life-and-death battle with the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom's royal family, causing a bloody storm.
Why is the situation different now?
Could this be the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom Emperor's scheme, inviting them into a trap?
Deliberately letting them into the imperial palace, and then setting up a net?
Thoughts flashed through the old scholar tree's mind, and it did not dare to take it lightly, but became more vigilant!
"Lord Sacrificial Spirit..."
Luo Yue and other Lieyang Tribe warriors looked at the old scholar tree, seeking its opinion.
They were originally prepared for a big fight, but they did not expect that the Tianhuo Ancient Kingdom Emperor did not seem to want to make a move?
