I will help you guard the palace and ensure that nothing goes wrong, but you'd better not let me down. I must hear about the outbreak of war on the border between the two empires within a week."

The fake emperor knew what he should do, so he immediately ordered the prime minister beside him to make arrangements according to his series of requirements. That night, the fake emperor led his personal team towards the border of the empire.

at the same time.

The priest who was hiding in the palace and controlling the situation finally came up with his latest plan.

He did not hide in the palace and set up defensive barriers as imagined. Instead, this guy chose to take the initiative and continuously sent out powerful ten-thousand-year-old disciples and thousand-year-old spirit sacrificial teams towards the route that Xu Yang and his companions had to take to return.

The priest knew very well that for a strong man of Xu Yang's level, simply sending people to block their team would not have a significant effect. If they really wanted to delay time, they had to come up with more cruel means.

Sure enough, Xu Yang and his companions did not encounter many obstructions along the way, but they did not expect that just because the news of their team's return to the palace spread, several large city-states along the way continued to stage extremely tragic massacres of civilians.

And all signs indicate that the culprits for the disasters that befell these city-states were all the sacrificial teams sent by the priests.

At this moment, Xu Yang and his companions were forced to temporarily enter the imperial city-state called Kaodu.

This city-state has a long history, and the people originally lived a stable and peaceful life. However, in recent days, a large number of sacrificial spirits suddenly entered the city and started a very crazy large-scale massacre. The massacre was almost unexplained, and the city-state immediately fell into dire straits.

Xu Yang and his companions naturally knew that these were a series of time-delaying measures taken by the palace group to which the fake emperor belonged, but they had to stay in the city-state temporarily to help the people of the city-state to eliminate such chaos.

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed, although most of the powerful spirit priests in the city had been dealt with by Xu Yang's team.

However, these members of the sacrificial spirit hiding in the dark are like wildfires that cannot be extinguished and will spring up again with the spring breeze.

Even if only a spark is left, they can still start a prairie fire.

There is no doubt that such practices and strategies did slow down the pace of Xu Yang's team in a short period of time.

"Boss Xu Yang, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we'll all be tripped up by those guys with ill intentions.

Now I have an idea. Why don't we split the team into two, leaving two people to guard the castle, and you, the boss, personally escort His Majesty the Emperor back to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible."

Poxiao's idea really showed her overall perspective and was appreciated by Xu Yang.

"It seems that this is the only way to deal with it now, otherwise I am worried that there will be more troubles later.

Since the fake emperor has made up his mind to fight us to the end, he will definitely issue orders without hesitation. The longer it takes, the more innocent people will suffer because of his orders. "

Xu Yang thought for a moment and decisively decided to let Long Kun and the ancient snake stay.

He took Dawn and Little Mushroom to escort the Emperor straight to the Imperial Capital.

As soon as Long Kun heard Xu Yang's order, he couldn't help but secretly glared at the ancient god. The last time these two guys didn't decide the winner, and each of them was holding back a desire to prove his own strength.

When they heard Xu Yang's arrangement, the desire to compete was ignited again. Xu Yang saw through the minds of these two people and nodded at the two guys with a smile.

“Don’t think that just because I leave you in this city, you can do whatever you want.

Don’t you all want to prove how strong you are?

So from now on, I require that all the powerful world spirit masters and masters at the level of ten thousand year disciples that you two kill leave their exclusive soul imprints and show them to me the next time we meet.

This is the best way for you to show your strength. If I find out that you two are fighting to the death in this city-state after we leave, don’t blame me, as the boss, for turning my back on you.”

You have to know that Xu Yang's influence in the team is absolutely unquestionable.

After Long Kun received the order from the boss, he immediately made a promise to him.

"Just keep your heart at ease, sir.

When have I ever disappointed you?

Since I have decided to follow your orders, leave this to me and I guarantee there won't be any problems."

After settling the situation in the city-state, Xu Yang did not hesitate any more, and the four of them stepped into the sky and flew rapidly towards the imperial capital.

In a blink of an eye, five hours of continuous running had passed.

Along the way, Xu Yang not only escorted the group, but also constantly released his mental power to observe the surroundings to prevent any surprise attacks from enemies hiding nearby.

Sure enough, when the four of them walked to an oasis, they discovered an astonishing fluctuation of martial arts aura hidden beneath the oasis.

Xu Yang sneered, pointed towards the oasis below and spoke.

"Guess how many enemies are hiding here."

The little mushroom immediately jumped onto Xu Yang's shoulder and answered with a smile.

"For such a large oasis, there must be at least dozens of disciples and warriors at the ten thousand level!"

After hearing the answer given by this guy, Xu Yang showed a half-smile, and did not directly deny the other party. However, from his reaction, it can be seen that this little girl is definitely reshaping the answer given, which has no practical significance at all.

However, the old emperor beside him looked solemnly at the oasis below and made some observations.

“Judging from the fluctuations of the aura, there should be about five people hiding under this oasis.

And their strength should not be weaker than mine, at least they are at the great perfection level or above."

Xu Yanghan nodded and said, "Although this answer is not correct, it is at least reliable.

As he said this, he set his gaze on the face of Dawn behind him.

"Girl, insight should be a basic skill for you, just like survival instinct. You tell them the final answer."

Poxiao's expression became more solemn, and he took a deep look at the oasis below.

"If my judgment is correct, there is only one enemy hiding under this oasis, who has an independent soul form. The auras of the other warriors should all be controlled by the soul of the same person, and they have all become puppets of that controller."

"What did you say?

If this is true, why is the aura below so chaotic?"

The little mushroom said with a puzzled look on his face.

Xu Yang touched his cheek and said with a smile, "It's just some cover-up.

You little thing, you still have too little practical experience, you need to work harder!"
