“This Dragon Capital City is like a cage, an unbreakable one!”
A man in black spoke, “What should we do now? The Palace Master ordered us to occupy the entire Dragon King Dynasty and slaughter all the strong individuals!”
“This matter is no small thing, and we cannot be careless!”
With a serious expression, a commander spoke, “Since this Dragon Capital cannot be breached, let us gather all our strength, and then we can gradually break through!”
The other men in black nodded in agreement, understanding clearly that the Palace Master had issued a death order, and if they failed to occupy the entire Dragon Dynasty, they would likely cease to exist.
Within the Ghost Palace, failure to complete tasks assigned by the Palace Master meant a certain death, a fact they understood all too well, which explained their current ferocity.
As numerous experts unleashed their attacks, a constant clamor echoed within the Dragon Capital, causing widespread panic. Though the elders knew the power of national fortune was immensely strong, they could also sense that the city walls of the Dragon Capital were no longer stable, even beginning to crack. If this continued, the entire Dragon Capital would likely fall.
“If this goes on, they’ll break in soon!”
The Ninth Elder frowned, “We absolutely cannot let the last bloodline of the Dragon Dynasty be destroyed!”
“Fight!”
The First Elder’s expression was cold, “When the Dragon Capital falls, the millions of strong individuals of the Dynasty will fight to the death! Even if we are the last to fall, the citizens must not be harmed!”
“We will follow the First Elder!”
The elders cupped their fists, and the other powerful individuals of the Dragon Kingdom nodded in unison. They were resolved to die, and if it came to that, they would not hesitate in the slightest.
The walls of the Dragon Capital city had begun to crack, with the fissures growing wider. The people of the Ghost Palace, like ravenous wolves, roared with excitement. Once the city walls fell, they could slaughter at will, turning the entire Dragon Capital into a silent tomb.
However, at this very moment, a dragon’s roar suddenly erupted. A colossal dragon soared into the sky, circling above the Dragon Capital, causing immense turmoil. The numerous experts of the Ghost Palace were all repelled, and no one knew what was happening, or why such a terrifying aura emanated from within the Dragon Capital.
“What is this?”
Many exclaimed in surprise, not knowing what was happening. The terrifying dragon’s roar filled them with dread.
“If I am not mistaken, this should be the true national fortune of the Dragon Dynasty!”
The First Elder’s face lit up with joy. He never imagined that at the critical juncture of the Dragon Dynasty’s survival, such powerful national fortune would appear to protect it. It seemed the Dragon Dynasty was truly unyielding.
“The Dynasty endures, the Dynasty endures!”
Within the Dragon Capital, cheers erupted everywhere. The people were filled with immense joy, for with the protection of the national fortune dragon, they were now incredibly safe. In their eyes, the national fortune of the Dragon Dynasty was now the most important thing.
“What do we do?”
A man in black spoke. Even if they attacked together now, they could not breach the gates of the Dragon Capital. If they continued to stall, it would be futile.
“Madam Meng Po has gone to retrieve the divine sword. We merely need to wait here. Once Madam Meng Po arrives, this mere national fortune will be nothing!”
The commander spoke, his eyes cold. This time, they would not back down easily.
Meanwhile, within the swamp, a deafening explosion echoed. Lu Fan and the others were forced to retreat, as were the rest of the group. The powerful aftershock was enough to make them wary.
In the blink of an eye, the Three Ghost Kings were sent flying back dozens of meters, crashing heavily against the stone wall. Blood seeped from their lips, and their faces turned deathly pale, as if unable to withstand such immense power.
At this very moment, Madam Meng Po’s expression also turned grim. Although she knew the divine sword was incredibly powerful, she never expected that Lu Fan and the others, by joining forces, could actually injure a Ghost Saint.
“Third Brother!”
The Great Ghost Saint’s face turned ashen as he rushed to his side, “How are you?”
“My meridians are all severed!”
The Third Ghost Saint’s face was livid. He never imagined he would end up in such a state, for as a war-level expert, he had never been so disheveled before.
“How dare you injure my Third Brother!”
The Great Ghost Saint’s expression turned cold, and he glared at Lu Fan and the others with murderous intent. They never imagined Lu Fan and his group would be so audacious.
“All those from the Ghost Palace deserve to die!”
Long Yi’s expression was indifferent, “The Profound Thunder Sword has been unsheathed, how can you possibly resist!”
“Just by the likes of you?”
The Great Ghost Saint sneered, “Not yet having reached the Saint realm, and yet you are so arrogant!”
“Since you are so confident, why not give it a try!”
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, “Let’s see if we have the ability to make you look like him!”
“Second Brother, let us attack together!”
The Great Ghost Saint’s expression was cold. He was somewhat apprehensive facing them alone, but with several of them, he would not take this lightly.
The Second Brother nodded slightly, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent. Seeing the Third Ghost Saint in such a state, how could he not be enraged.
“You all must be careful!”
The Third Elder spoke, “Remember not to underestimate them. With your strength, you can at most hold off one War Saint!”
Lu Fan and the others also frowned. They understood clearly that injuring the Third Ghost Saint just now had required their utmost effort. If they had to do it again, they might not be able to unleash such power.
However, at that very instant, two powerful energy fields surged from the Ye Clan’s direction, carrying an unparalleled aura.
And at this moment, the Third Elder’s face also lit up with joy, “The Second and Third Elders have arrived. If you still want to play, you can play big!”
Madam Meng Po gazed at the two figures, her expression instantly turning heavy. Now that their opponents had three War Saints, coupled with Lu Fan and the others’ strength, they were no match.
“Withdraw!”
Madam Meng Po’s voice was cold. He knew when to advance and when to retreat. If they continued, they might all perish here. After all, the Palace Master had not yet emerged from seclusion, and this was a critical juncture. If something happened now, the Ghost Palace would suffer a complete defeat.
“He injured the Third Ghost, how can we just let this go!”
The Great Ghost Saint was displeased and stared directly at Madam Meng Po.
“If you don’t listen to me, then stay behind!”
Madam Meng Po turned and left, his cane held high, exuding an imposing presence. Within the Ghost Palace, his status was lower than the Three Great Ghost Saints, but he knew very well that continuing to stay here was meaningless and would only invite disaster.
Seeing Madam Meng Po leave, Black and White Impermanence quickly followed, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. After all, this was their direct superior, and more importantly, it was too dangerous here.
