They unleashed their ultimate move right from the start, leaving them utterly helpless. What were they going to say?
Who knows what's wrong with you? You suddenly started attacking me!
Shen Xiong: "..."
So all that fighting turned out he'd been hitting the wrong person?
Thinking of this, Shen Xiong became even angrier.
So, not only did he waste so much effort, but he also let the real culprit get away with it?!
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, General Shen, can you let us leave?"
The twelve guards wiped the blood from the corner of their mouths. Although Shen Xiong had temporarily stopped attacking, they were not careless and remained in formation, ready to deal with any sudden attack from the enemy.
"Ha, you think you can leave?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiong suddenly burst into a strange laugh, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "This is the secret residence of my Jiang Dynasty. How can you come and go as you please? You've just happened to run into me today, so you'll all stay here and be buried with my king!"
"Pah, you shameless old bastard!"
The Twelve Shadow Guards, who were usually quite calm, were enraged upon hearing this. "Saying they won't let us in is just a ruse. If they really wanted to stop us, would they have let so many people in?"
The Twelve Dark Guards haven't forgotten that there were at least several thousand cultivators they encountered just now. Is this how you stop people?
If they had any doubts before, they now understand everything. The Jiang Dynasty never had good intentions from the beginning, and they probably even intentionally released the news of the Secret Palace's emergence.
"Heh, you guys aren't stupid after all."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiong remained unconcerned and said coldly, "Now that you know the truth, we can't let you leave the Secret Mansion alive."
If the world were to find out that the Jiang Dynasty deliberately lured people here, the Dragon King's secret would likely be discovered.
Therefore, all those who know the truth must die, otherwise the Jiang Dynasty will be in danger.
No one knows that the royal family and even the emperor of the Bujiang Dynasty have been completely controlled by these evil demons!
In order to revive the Dragon King, they have been tracking the birthplace of the Vermilion Bird reincarnation for thousands of years, just to obtain the bloodline of the Four Symbols.
In this life, the reincarnated one became the third princess of the Wuya Dynasty. Since the secret palace was located in the Bujiang Dynasty, they took over and controlled the entire royal family and Shen Xiong respectively, and launched an attack on the Wuya Dynasty. In this way, they could legitimately keep the reincarnated Vermilion Bird under their noses and tame her.
They had been waiting for this day to use thousands of cultivators as a blood sacrifice to revive the Flood Dragon King in one fell swoop.
I originally thought that with the right timing, location, and people, everything would go smoothly.
Who knew it would be destroyed by that sudden bolt of lightning!
Ah, how he hates it! He really hates it to the extreme!
Don't let him know, otherwise he will definitely tear the other person to pieces!
"You have treacherous ambitions! Even if we die, we will not let you get away with this!"
Upon hearing this, the twelve guards, though their blood was surging, had no choice but to brace themselves and prepare to face Shen Xiong's new attack.
"Hey..."
However, just as the battle was about to break out, a giant beast phantom suddenly appeared in the sky ahead.
The cry, ancient and melodious, seemed to come from the distant past, exuding endless solemnity and majesty, inspiring awe in all who heard it.
"Vermilion Bird..."
Upon seeing this, Shen Xiong's eyes widened in disbelief, his hand gripping his sword trembling slightly. "This is... the seal has been broken? How is this possible? This is impossible!"
"What is that? It's such a terrifying aura..."
