Yang Tianyi was still in seclusion, fusing with the spirit soul given by Yueer. This took longer than Yueer expected.
At this time, the strongmen from divine kingdoms were also intending to watch the show. When they came here, they had been asked not to meddle in what happened here, especially when it came to the disputes among factions. For divine kingdoms, the weaker their forces were here, the easier it would be for them to control.
“Yang Tianyi is still in seclusion and should come out soon! Let’s go up to the city wall and take a look. If that stupid bear comes, he won’t dare to cause trouble here for a while because there’s an Imperial Prince of our Divine Kingdom here, and he’ll have to take us into consideration,” Yueer said.
The competition was also announced to be paused, and the strongmen of the Supreme Divine Palace had rushed to the city wall at that moment.
Scenery and company quickly caught up, standing on the top of the city wall. They only saw a large open area outside the city wall filled with over a hundred silver lions, each dragging huge caravans. There were also many giant lions of various colors; these were divine lions unable to transform into human form!
On the other side, there were numerous star moon divine beasts that had transformed into human form. Their numbers were very large, with tens of thousands, all having a strong overall strength that didn’t seem to be inferior to the divine lions with dozens of large ones.
Those massive divine lions of the divine lion tribe were like small mountains placed outside the city wall. Among them, one was actually taller than the city wall itself! That largest giant lion suddenly let out a fierce roar, and the other divine lions followed suit. The loud roars shook the city wall slightly, causing ripples of sound waves to travel far away. Seeing those mountain peaks crumble and the earth torn apart, the majestic atmosphere was very impressive, terrifying many humans with weak strength.
“Divine lion tribe, we of the Supreme Divine Palace have no enmity with you. What’s your intention” Mu Chen wasn’t intimidated by that atmosphere and asked loudly, hovering in mid-air with his voice echoing like thunder.
His imposing aura wasn’t weaker than the fierce roars of that group of lions just now.
“You’re insulting our Divine Lion Prince, as you are insulting all of us. This is an unceasing and eternal hatred; this is our purpose in coming here! We give you two options now: either fight or apologize to our divine lion tribe by bowing your head,” a cold voice came from inside the caravans. This was probably the leader of the divine lion tribe, the Divine Lion King!
It was impossible to apologize and bow their heads. Moreover, this incident was caused by the overbearing nature of the Divine Lion Prince in the first place! Mu Chen was puzzled because, based on their history together, they shouldn’t have acted this way. Now, apart from the divine lion tribe, there was also the Star Moon Divine Beast tribe.
“Star Moon Divine Beast tribe, what’s your point Is it that you don’t have an overbearing prince coming here to cause trouble” Mu Chen was already prepared for a battle, so he spoke without any reservations.
“A white kitten showed up in your Supreme Divine Palace before. That’s why we’re here for this! This kitten is still here, and as long as you hand it over to us, we’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, there’s only war,” an old man with long white hair floating in mid-air said to Mu Chen on behalf of the Star Moon Divine Beast tribe.
Yueer was here, and she wanted to say something at this moment to buy some time, waiting for Yang Tianyi to come out. Based on the comparison of strength now, both sides were evenly matched, so they would definitely suffer losses if they fought. There was also the existence of an ancestral emperor hidden in the Star Moon Divine Beast tribe.
Even though humans might suppress beasts, the one who would eventually see the end was definitely that ancestral emperor. He hadn’t made a move yet, waiting for the best opportunity.
Back then, Yueer was targeted by that ancestral emperor and knew how cunning he was.
Mu Chen only knew that a white kitten and Shen Xiang were together, but now Shen Xiang didn’t have it with him!
“The white kitten elder from your Star Moon Divine Beast tribe has already come here before, and that kitten left by itself. The elder confirmed it, so he’s not here,” Mu Chen said now that he couldn’t see the white kitten following Shen Xiang.
“Then we’ll have to look for it ourselves!” the old man from the Star Moon Divine Beast tribe said coldly.
“Still let our divine lion tribe break the door down!” A giant lion rushed over, moving very quickly. This giant lion was also emitting intense flames all around him. When it ran, the ground trembled continuously, and numerous cracks appeared on that empty area.
This god-like divine lion was very strong, having the power of a great god. Rushing like that would definitely cause damage to the protective array protecting Mu Ying Divine City.
Now, White Tiger and Vermilion Bird were ready to sell their services and repel that largest flame divine lion!
“Ao Yao, stop!” a voice came, and an outline appeared above that giant lion. This was a familiar sound to Shen Xiang.
When he heard that voice, Shen Xiang knew that Qi Shi had come! He was the true Divine Lion King!
Qi Shi came, and those divine lions that hadn’t transformed into human form quickly prostrated themselves. They were worshiping their emperor! Back then, Qi Shi already had a great reputation among the divine lions. These giant divine lions were all young when they lived here, and of course, they remembered the aura of Qi Shi. He was their emperor in their hearts!
Qi Shi went to the Lion King tomb, so his return meant he had received a heritage from the Lion King, and judging by the aura he released earlier, his current strength was also very strong.
That giant fire lion named Ao Yao stopped. He listened to Qi Shi very well.
“Ao Yao, I’ve said that you’ll grow larger in the future, and now it’s true! It’s a pity… Ai Yan died!” Qi Shi clenched his fists, and murderous intent surged. It covered the entire divine city, making the sky turn dark with dense clouds of black. Blood-colored lightning kept dancing continuously, and the thunder roared fiercely.
The Qi Shi mentioned was his younger brother, Ai Yan, also known as the ancient fire beast!
Knowing that Ai Yan had died, those divine lions on the ground raised their heads and let out long howls full of sadness.
Mu Chen and Xiang Changle, the palace masters, naturally knew about Qi Shi. They were all surprised when Qi Shi came because of how frightening the earlier roars of those lions were, but now everyone was infected by that mournful howling.
“Ai Yan is the one who killed our Divine Lion Prince!” Qi Shi said angrily, two golden lights shooting out from his eyes and entering a large caravan.
“You little brat, come out!” Qi Shi roared angrily, and that caravan was shattered into powdery pieces. The divine lion prince had lost his composure, with fear all over his face because he had never experienced the combined anger of hundreds of divine lions before!
In the divine lion tribe, most of the divine lions were those that Qi Shi had raised back then, who were now grown up. Knowing that Qi Shi was still alive, they only acknowledged him as their king.
The Divine Lion King couldn’t sit still anymore; he stood up, his appearance somewhat similar to that of the divine lion prince. He said coldly, “Don’t believe him! He’s just a loser!”
Now, the current Divine Lion King was also Qi Shi’s brother, but they weren’t from the same mother. They had also been in direct opposition to each other back then.g master was not weak, otherwise he would not have been chosen as the inheritor, but he was quickly crippled by Eastern Xin Yue, who appeared much younger. If it weren't for the quick arrival of a Hou...
