Chapter 82

"Hehe, of course. How could I not do my best when working for you, sir?" The Emperor of Azure Dragon Country chuckled.

"Indeed. With this, including the corner of the compass you gave me, we now have three pieces. Next, only the last piece of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix is left."

The voice was heard from the veil.

"The Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, huh? This …" The Emperor of Azure Dragon Country's expression changed slightly.

"What is it? Is there a problem?" The voice deepened slightly, seeming to be rather moody.

The Emperor of Azure Dragon Country's forehead was sweating slightly as he hurriedly replied, "You misunderstand, sir. If it was before, the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix and the Ancient Kingdom of Azure Dragon were indeed related. But now, not only are we not related, but we even have a grudge against each other."

Xiao Chen's engagement with Bai Yu'er was annulled, and he was chased out of the Jun family in an extremely embarrassing manner. Even his dragon aura was taken away.

There was no way the Emperor of Azure Dragon Country would be fond of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix and Bai Yu'er.

It could even be said that they had become enemies.

"Oh, then what is the reason?" the voice asked.

The Emperor of Azure Dragon Country replied, "That princess of the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix might be somewhat related to the Son Of God of the Jun family."

"The Son Of God of the Jun family?"

That voice also carried a faint trace of hesitation and doubt.

Currently in the Huangtian Mystic Realm, there might not be many who had seen Jun Xiaoyao, but there were definitely many who had heard of Jun Xiaoyao's name.

"The Son Of God of the Jun family wouldn't care about a small country like that, would he?" the voice said plainly.

"I'm just reminding you, sir," the Emperor of Azure Dragon Country said.

Back when Jun Linglong had taken over the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix, the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix did not announce it to the outside world.

After all, it was not something to be proud of.

As such, at the moment, other than the Emperor of Phoenix, Bai Yu'er, and the officials who witnessed it with their own eyes, no one else knew.

Everyone else had no idea that the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix was now Jun Xiaoyao's force.

"Hmph, what's the point of reminding me? Let's not talk about whether or not the Ancient Kingdom of Phoenix has anything to do with Jun Xiaoyao. Even if they do, do you think I'm afraid?"

The voice said with a tone of annoyance.

"That's right, that's right. Young Master is a big shot, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the immortal realms in the future and look down on all living things." The Azure Dragon King flattered.

"Well, it's good that you know. Next up, gather the armies of the three nations and attack the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird. Force them to submit and hand over the fragment of the Azure Dragon Compass."

"Understood." The Azure Dragon King cupped his hands.

"By the way, I've heard that the Vermillion Bird Princess, Bai Yu'er, is a rare beauty. Don't hurt her when the time comes. Bring her here and make her my concubine."

"Yes." The Emperor of Azure Dragon Country nodded. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, Bai Yu'er had severed ties with Xiao Chen. Otherwise, wouldn't she have made her own son a cuckold?

"Don't worry. Once we're done, you'll get plenty of benefits. When the time comes, the four great ancient countries will merge into the Four Symbols Ancient Country, and you'll be the sole ruler." The voice chuckled.

"Many thanks, young master!" The Azure Dragon King's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

Wasn't this what he wanted?

After that, the Azure Dragon King took his leave.

That voice muttered to itself.

"When we gather all four pieces and form the complete bronze compass, we might be able to find traces of that Bronze Immortal Palace."

"If we succeed, I'll get a great opportunity. When the time comes, I'll definitely be able to marry Wu Mingyue."

"After that, I'll enter the Panwu Hill and obtain the opportunity. Then, I'll gradually gain control of the Panwu Jin Dynasty."

"Finally, I, Yang Pan, will be able to stand above the nine heavens and ten lands and stand at the top of all living beings!"

That voice was filled with boundless ambition. His laughter reverberated throughout the entire palace.

…

In just a few days, the Azure Dragon King had gathered the armies of the three nations and marched towards the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird.

Furthermore, they did not bother to hide at all. They marched towards the Fire Province openly.

The news quickly spread to the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird.

In an instant, the entire nation was in a state of panic.

When they heard that the Ancient Kingdom of Azure Dragon had annexed the Ancient Kingdom of White Tiger and the Ancient Kingdom of Black Tortoise, many officials of the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird were already feeling uneasy.

Now that the news was confirmed, the entire Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird was in an uproar.

With the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird's current state of power, even the Ancient Kingdom of Azure Dragon alone was enough to pose a threat to the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird, let alone the allied armies of the three nations.

The allied armies of the three nations had practically given the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird a death sentence.

In the royal palace of the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird …

A group of officials went to Bai Yu 'er.

"Your Highness, please send a message to the Son Of God of the Jun family. See if he can help us!"

"That's right. Our king is still in closed-door training. Only the Jun family can save our Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird!"

Many officials who were in the know urged Bai Yu 'er to ask Jun Xiaoyao for help.

"Very well. Calm down. I'll give it a try," Bai Yu 'er said.

Naturally, she was in a hurry as well. She took out her communication jade scroll and sent a message to Jun Linglong.

That was because she did not have a way to contact Jun Xiaoyao directly.

On the Jun family's side, Jun Linglong received the message as well.

However, Jun Xiaoyao was still in closed-door training at the moment. Jun Linglong could not possibly disturb him because of something like that.

Bai Yu 'er's heart sank slightly when she received the message.

Jun Xiaoyao was in closed-door training, so there was no way to contact him.

Jun Linglong's status was far below Jun Xiaoyao's. It was impossible for her to mobilize the power of the Jun family to help the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird.

Only Jun Xiaoyao would be able to help the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird if he showed up in person.

However, the problem was that he was in closed-door training, and no one could disturb him.

Bai Yu 'er relayed the news to the officials.

"How could this be? Are the heavens trying to destroy our Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird?" Some of the officials looked pale.

"That's not necessarily the case. The Ancient Kingdom of Azure Dragon probably just wants us to submit to them. We'll see how they react when the time comes," Bai Yu 'er said.

The Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird then went into a state of preparation.

The forces of the outside world were not optimistic about the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird.

They even thought that the battle was a hopeless one.

There was no suspense about the outcome at all. It was just a matter of time.

Of course, they had such conjectures because they did not know that the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird had become Jun Xiaoyao's private force.

If they had known that, they would not have had such thoughts.

In just a few days …

The allied forces of the three nations had already entered the Fire State. Their target was the imperial city of the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird.

Along the way, all the cities were destroyed without being able to put up any resistance.

Most of the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird's forces were also concentrated in the imperial city.

Regardless of the final outcome, the Ancient Kingdom of Vermilion Bird would not just sit around and wait for their doom.

...

Just when the final battle of the four ancient nations was about to break out …

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace of the Jun family …

There was a powerful aura permeating the place, and there was a vast light rising.

A mist of celestial light permeated the place, making people feel as if a supreme deity was sitting inside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Jun Linglong, Jun Xuehuang, Jun Zhanjian, and Jun Wanjie were all outside the Heavenly Emperor Palace.

Their eyes were also filled with surprise and joy.

"The Son Of God is finally coming out of his closed-door training!"
