Zhu’s Imperial Palace was located in the northern part of Jiahai Imperial City. The so-called north facing south meant that the houses were built in the north, but the door was open to the south. And where was Zhu Zhi’s palace? His palace happened to be on the south side, but the door was open to the north. To Zhu Zhi, this was called “tit-for-tat confrontation”.

It was already very late at night, and it wouldn’t be long before the Moon Mirror and the Skylight Mirror began to alternate.

Previously, the Skylight Mirror had always risen from different directions, but recently, there had been a change in the Skylight Mirror and it had begun to rise in the same direction. That direction didn’t change much for people outside of East Continent, because it was still rising from the east.

However, for the people in the Eastern Continent, the change was huge, because that was clearly the corresponding area in Xuanyuan Imperial Region.

Of course, this wasn’t the time to talk about the Skylight Mirror. We had to talk about Venerable Tian Long first.

When Venerable Tian Long brought Laura Temple to Zhu Zhi’s palace, he did not rush to the door. He and Laura Temple looked behind them with lingering fear. The two of them were not looking at whether anyone was following behind them, but rather, they were subconsciously reacting to the tremendous terror that they had encountered and escaped.

Laura Monastery looked at Venerable Tian Long and whispered, “Master, what realm is that person? This is too terrifying. You didn’t even get a single move from your subordinates. You’re a person who’s about to break through the threshold of the Saint realm.”

Venerable Tian Long shook his head and said, “Don’t say’that person ‘or’that person’. In the future, you should call him ‘Lord’. Do you understand? Lord’s strength is simply too terrifying. He can know the conversation between you and me from thousands of miles away.”

“What? This … this is impossible, right?” Laura Temple looked around in astonishment, as if there were 10,000 “lords” hidden in the air that Venerable Tian Long had spoken of.

Venerable Tian Long sighed, “You didn’t fight the Lord, so you have no idea how terrifying His cultivation is. The moment His power was released, I felt that all the grandmist spiritual energy in my body was frightened to the point that it almost dissipated.”

“I have never fought against an Emperor Realm expert before, but I reckon that no matter how strong an Emperor Realm expert is, it will only be like this.”

“Master, you mean … Lord … Lord is an Emperor?” Laura Monastery looked at Venerable Tian Long in horror and asked.

Venerable Tian Long took a deep look at Laura Temple and patted him on the shoulder. “Come on, let’s go inside the palace to see Zhu Zhi. After completing Lord’s mission, we’ll talk about something else.”

“Yes.” Facing Venerable Tian Long’s orders, Laura Temple naturally didn’t dare to disobey and directly walked with Venerable Tian Long to the gate of Zhu Zhi Palace.

On the way, Venerable Tian Long was actually silently thinking about the question from Laura Temple, “Is Lord really an Emperor?” Venerable Tian Long shook his head in his heart. It was very likely that Lord was not an Emperor.

Because of the power he displayed …

Most of them were stronger than the Emperor Realm!

More than a hundred guards stood outside the main gate of Zhu Zhi Palace. Seeing Venerable Tian Long and Laura Temple approaching, these guards immediately placed their hands on their weapons at their waist. Then, the leader looked at the two warily and shouted, “Who is it?”

Venerable Tian Long flipped his right hand and a token appeared in his hand. He raised his token and said, “We are from Emperor Zhu Zhi. You can go in and report that Venerable Tian Long has brought his disciple.”

The guard in the lead glanced at the token in Venerable Tian Long’s hand. Soon, he took out a Primordial astrolabe from his bosom. As soon as the Primordial astrolabe approached the token, it buzzed. The Primordial astrolabe immediately displayed Venerable Tian Long’s appearance and name.

After reading the information, the guard immediately bowed to Venerable Tian Long and said, “Venerable, forgive me. This is the first time I have seen the true body of the Venerable, so I have offended you. Venerable, please come in. The Emperor has ordered the Venerable to see him directly once he comes.”

“Yes.” Venerable Tian Long was very good at pinching masters. He nodded his head reservedly and followed the guards into the palace.

Zhu Zhi’s palace was definitely far inferior to Zhu’s Imperial Palace’s, but it still occupied a large area. Moreover, the style of the palace was slightly inferior to the majestic style of the imperial palace, and there were a few winding paths to the secluded, ingenious and clever designs.

Venerable Tian Long and Laura Temple walked forward under the lead of the guards. After walking all the way, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out in front of them.

The middle-aged man was dressed in luxurious clothes. Although his aura was restrained, from the intuition of an expert, Venerable Tian Long could still keenly sense that the middle-aged man in front of him was definitely an expert.

The moment the guard saw the middle-aged man, he immediately bowed and respectfully called out, “Thousand Alliance Master.”

The middle-aged man nodded and waved his hand, “Venerable Tian Long and I are old acquaintances. Let me take Venerable Tian Long to see the Emperor. You can leave and go back to your own business.”

“Yes.” Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, the guard immediately retreated.

Venerable Tian Long watched the guard walk away and waited for his back to disappear before looking at the middle-aged man in front of him and saying, “Your Excellency said that we are old acquaintances, but why don’t I remember meeting you?”

The middle-aged man waved his hand and smiled, “Venerable, don’t misunderstand. I, Qian Feijue, am the Alliance Leader of the Supreme Demon Alliance. I received a message from Lord saying that Venerable has also joined Lord. That’s why I took the initiative to meet Venerable.”

“Qian Feijue?” Venerable Tian Long was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, “You mean ‘Lord’ …”

God Qian Feijue looked around mysteriously. He walked over to Venerable Tian Long and said two words in a very low voice.

“Jiang Feng.”

Venerable Tian Long and Laura Temple were shocked. After the two of them looked at Qian Feijue in surprise, Qian Feijue immediately formed a seal and waved his hand, placing several soundproof barriers around the three of them.

Venerable Tian Long quickly cupped his fists and saluted Qian Feijue, “Disrespectful, disrespectful. I didn’t expect that Lord had already planted spies beside Zhu Zhi. Lord’s foresight is truly admirable.”

Qian Feijue smiled and said, “Actually, I have just joined the lord. If what I expected is not bad, Venerable, like me, will probably be convinced by Lord’s strong cultivation.”

Venerable Tian Long nodded. He remembered that Jiang Feng’s strong cultivation was still lingering in his heart.

Venerable Tian Long asked Qian Feijue, “Has Lord told us what to do next?”

Qian Feijue nodded and said, “I didn’t say exactly what to do. Lord only asked me to find out how many experts Zhu Zhi had gathered. According to Lord, he wouldn’t make a move unless he had no other choice.”

“If Zhu Zhi doesn’t have any powerful experts on his side, the two of us will defect at the tournament the day after tomorrow and catch Zhu Zhi off guard.”

“Alright, I understand.” Venerable Tian Long nodded and asked, “By the way, did Brother Qian meet any experts on Zhu Zhi’s side?”

Qian Feijue shook his head, “I haven’t heard that Zhu Zhi has invited any extraordinary experts. However, Zhu Zhi seems to be determined to obtain the position of Zhu Imperial Clan’s Clan Chief this time. I wonder where he got his confidence.”

“That’s because Zhu Zhi doesn’t know about Lord’s existence. If he finds out about Lord’s cultivation …”

“That makes sense.”

Qian Feijue nodded, acknowledging Venerable Tian Long’s words from the bottom of his heart.

While Qian Feijue and Venerable Tian Long were talking, Zhu Zhi was in his study reading the information his subordinates had gathered recently.

The contents of the news were all related to the information Zhu Hongfu had invited from various experts. Just as Zhu Zhi was picking out a portion of the information to gather, the door of his study suddenly opened and a man wearing a black cloak came in from outside.

Zhu Zhi immediately stood up when he saw the man. He walked over to the man and bowed. He called out, “Star Lord.”

The Star Lord nodded and said weakly, “The day after tomorrow will be the day of the tournament. I’ve already made Leng Qinghuai and Feng Mo move ready. They will go to the tournament grounds to wait for you at noon the day after tomorrow.”

“Thank you Star Lord, thank you Star Lord. If it weren’t for the help of Star Lord, Zhu Zhi probably wouldn’t have any confidence in taking down the Zhu Imperial Clan’s Clan Chief. Zhu Zhi wouldn’t have been able to forget Star Lord’s great kindness.”

“Alright, there’s no need to talk nonsense. In short, remember the agreement between us. After you take the position of Patriarch of the Zhu Imperial Clan, Zhu’s Imperial Palace must hand it over to me.”

‘”Yes, yes, yes. Please rest assured, Star Lord. As long as I successfully sit in the position of Patriarch of the Zhu Imperial Clan, I will immediately move everyone from Zhu’s Imperial Palace to my palace and hand over Zhu’s Imperial Palace to Lord Star Lord to deal with.”

“Yes.” The Star Lord nodded in satisfaction and turned around as if he was about to leave.

Zhu Zhi looked at the back of the Star Lord and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Star Lord, can I ask why Lord Star Lord is interested in a mere palace?”

Whoosh!

The Star Lord suddenly turned around and used his powerful aura to suppress Zhu Zhi like a storm.

Zhu Zhi’s entire body collapsed on the chair under the pressure of the Star Lord’s aura, and he didn’t even have the slightest strength to move.

The Star Lord’s only exposed eyes looked at Zhu Zhi. He said coldly, “You shouldn’t know, don’t ask. Otherwise, there are many people in the Zhu Imperial Clan who can take your place.”

“Yes” Zhu Zhi replied with difficulty.

The Star Lord’s body was suddenly enveloped by a layer of light that was as bright as stars. When the light disappeared, the Star Lord’s figure had already disappeared from the study. Only his entire body was drenched in cold sweat, as if Zhu Zhi had just been splashed with water.

Zhu Zhi looked at the open door of the study and swallowed his saliva. He took out a book that looked old from the hidden compartment of the desk.

The words on the cover of the book were already a little blurry. Zhu Zhi directly turned the book to the seventh page. Then, Zhu Zhi looked at the contents recorded on the seventh page with the light of the flying star lamp on the desk.

It said, “On Mount Lu Battlefield, the four great Heavenly Beasts have been encircled and annihilated. The war lasted for nine days until the heavens and earth collapsed. No one from the human beast race dared to intrude within a thousand kilometers. Looking at each other from afar, there was only a restriction barrier. No one knew how the situation in the battle would be removed from the warriors …”
