In the main hall of the Southern Yue Imperial Palace.
Upon seeing Patriarch Mu Yun and his group arrive, Dugu Qingcang immediately announced, "Alliance Leader, this is the most powerful patriarch of our Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom, Patriarch Mu Yun!"
"This is Patriarch Jian Chen, and this one..."
Dugu Qingcang introduced the supreme combat power of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom to Ye Xuan with pride, as if listing precious items. However, this was understandable.
After all, they had the capital to be proud!
After the introductions, Dugu Mu Yun expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Alliance Leader, for your great kindness to our Southern Yue, and for Little Yi's Nine Nether Bloodline."
Dugu Mu Yun's sincere thanks were understandable. He was one of the few who knew about the Nine Nether Bloodline holder, the ancestor of the Nine Nether Holy Land, which was a legend.
Now, he truly didn't expect that a descendant of their Dugu family would possess such a heaven-defying bloodline.
This was because, under normal circumstances, such bloodlines were more likely to be inherited directly.
"No need to thank me."
Ye Xuan looked at Dugu Xiao Yi beside him. "Since Xiao Yi is my disciple, activating her bloodline is only right."
"Heh, indeed."
Dugu Mu Yun smiled slightly, then something came to mind. "Alliance Leader, what are your plans next?"
It was clear that with the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom joining the Xuan Alliance, they naturally wanted to understand the Alliance Leader's future plans. This would allow them to better maintain their relationship with the Alliance Leader and the Xuan Alliance, all for a better future for the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom.
"Ding! Host has triggered a random mission: Heavily damage the Profound Nether Holy Land. Reward: 10 million Ziwei coins, plus 10 million low-grade Saint Crystals!"
As soon as Dugu Mu Yun finished speaking, a voice sounded in Ye Xuan's ear. It was the system triggering a random mission again.
Ten million Ziwei coins? Ten million low-grade Saint Crystals?
It wouldn't be bad to destroy the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom on the way back to the Xuan Alliance.
With this thought, Ye Xuan considered the current situation of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom and formulated a plan. The execution of this plan would also be the beginning of the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom's world-ending disaster.
"Regarding plans."
Hearing Dugu Mu Yun's question, Ye Xuan's gaze shifted towards the direction of the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom. "Now that the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom's strength has greatly increased, why not take this opportunity to uproot the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom?"
"This way, we can thoroughly eliminate this great threat."
Whoosh!!
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, everyone in the main hall looked at Ye Xuan with astonishment, including Dugu Xiao Yi.
Destroy the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom?
My heavens, what is Master saying, is he crazy!
"This..."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Dugu Qingcang frowned. "Alliance Leader, although the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom is now much stronger than the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom, it is obviously not a task that can be accomplished overnight to completely annihilate them. Moreover... besides, there is the Profound Nether Holy Land watching covetously."
"The Profound Nether Holy Land is, after all, a Grade Eight force. It is likely that there are still existences within it no weaker than Patriarch Mu Yun. If the Profound Nether Holy Land were to attack then..."
Although Dugu Qingcang did not finish his sentence, he had clearly conveyed his and the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom's concerns. Clearly, it was the Profound Nether Holy Land.
This was precisely what Ye Xuan wanted.
"This is simple."
Ye Xuan smiled subtly and said enigmatically, "I will handle the Profound Nether Holy Land. When you attack the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom, the Profound Nether Holy Land will not send a single soldier."
Hmm!?
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, it had to be said that Dugu Qingcang was moved, and not just him, but Dugu Mu Yun and the others as well.
After all!
The Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom was too much of a threat to them. Even though the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom's strength had greatly increased, it was easy to avoid open attacks but difficult to guard against hidden ones. No one knew what tricks the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom would pull next.
And the most reliable method was clearly to eliminate them completely!
Moreover, since the Alliance Leader said so, he must have means to make the Profound Nether Holy Land wary. As for doubt?
Don't be ridiculous. The resources they had provided were enough to destroy at least ten Profound Nether Holy Lands.
You must know!
If these resources were offered as a bounty, the Profound Nether Holy Land would likely become enemies of the world. At that time, even the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom might not remain indifferent.
Great rewards attract brave men; this is not just a saying. There are countless examples throughout history!
For a moment, the main hall fell silent.
Dugu Xiao Yi's eyes widened, holding her breath, not daring to distract herself, for fear of missing a moment.
One breath!
Five breaths! Ten breaths!!
After about ten breaths, after weighing the pros and cons, Dugu Mu Yun clearly made up his mind. "Good!"
"Since the Alliance Leader has spoken, our Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom will go to war with the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom soon. I fear we will have to trouble the Alliance Leader to deal with the Profound Nether Holy Land."
Hiss~~
As expected, upon hearing Patriarch Mu Yun's words, many patriarchs of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom gasped. Although they knew this decision was correct, it was still somewhat risky.
After all!
The Profound Nether Holy Land was a Grade Eight force. Could the Alliance Leader, alone, block it??
"Heh, this is excellent."
"Speed is of the essence. You might as well immediately eliminate all the patriarchs of the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom, and I will pay a visit to the Profound Nether Holy Land."
A short while later.
Ye Xuan left the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom with Feng Chen and a few others. As for Dugu Xiao Yi, she did not leave but stayed in Southern Yue Immortal City. After all, she had not been here for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to spend time with her father, Dugu Qingcang.
"Patriarch Mu Yun..."
"Are we really going to war with the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom?"
Dugu Jian Chen frowned, his face extremely solemn. "Although the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom's strength is far inferior to ours now, they should not be underestimated."
"Yes, Patriarch Mu Yun, this matter concerns the survival of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom. We should think thrice before acting..."
"Enough!"
Before the crowd could finish their discussion, Dugu Mu Yun interrupted them, his gaze resolute as he looked at everyone. "My decision is made. This matter is settled!"
"When we go to the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom this time, I will personally take action. As for the Southern Yue Imperial Palace, Jian Chen will guard it here."
Dugu Mu Yun gave his orders. Hearing that Patriarch Mu Yun would personally act, they knew that this matter could not be reversed and could only bow in unison. "Yes, Patriarch Mu Yun!"
However, the Black Cloud Immortal Kingdom was completely unaware of this. If they knew of the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom's intentions, who knew what their reaction would be.
In addition!
On the other side, the Profound Nether Holy Land was also ambitiously plotting against the Southern Yue Immortal Kingdom, but they did not know that they had already become Ye Xuan's target. The decline of the Profound Nether Holy Land would also begin here.
