Chapter 191.2: Part 2

Chapter 191: Gathering of Great Individuals (2)

Although she didn't recognize the carriage of the master of the Immortal Kingdom, she had also heard from the Great Sage of Fu Feng about those few existences that cannot be provoked in the South Sea.

Apart from the Mermaid Kingdom and Hanhai Department, the Immortal Kingdom, which is mysterious and inscrutable, is the first to face the challenge...

Luo Yujun, the ruler of the Immortal Kingdom, who has lived for countless years, and the Immortal Kingdom people who are rumored to be immortal and have never opened their borders, possess a powerful and terrifying army...

If the Li Tribe's Hanhai Department was surprising for being attracted by exotic treasures, then this eerie army formation in front of them is quite peculiar...

This Luo Yujun, the ruler of the Immortal Kingdom, could not be attracted by ordinary treasures, not to mention these knights in front of them...

Madame Green Bamboo furrowed her brows and asked, "Brother, are these four columns of knights what you previously mentioned as the Immortal Kingdom Praetorian Guard?"

The Great Sage of Fu Feng nodded and said, "Yes, they are indeed the Praetorian Guard of the Immortal Kingdom."

"These four columns of knights, a total of forty men, may seem few in numbers, yet they are capable of fighting against thousands of enemies. The armor they wear is the highest quality among the black-armored troops."

"It is rumored that even in the Immortal Kingdom, there are only forty-five Praetorian Guards, each of them being the most elite force in the kingdom."

"Their helmets and armor are ancient and fierce, possessing an incomprehensible power that is god-like."

"The forty-five Praetorian Guards marching together have far more power than ten thousand ordinary black-armored troops. With forty of them accompanying him, the Immortal Kingdom has truly brought out their best soldiers...it can be said that they have mobilized the entire country's strength."

The Great Sage of Fu Feng also sensed that something was amiss, his expression furrowing as he spoke.

He said, "If Luo Yujun only came to attend the Treasure Conference in the Mermaid Kingdom, why to make such a big fuss? Traveling with forty Praetorian Guards is like a national expedition... Is Luo Yujun coming here for a fight?"

The Great Sage of Fu Feng walked to the window and frowned as he watched the carriage of the Immortal Kingdom and the forty accompanying Praetorian Guards pass through the streets below.

At this moment, the streets had become desolate once again.

The passersby who were excited to see the Sovereign's carriage from the Immortal Kingdom became worried after seeing the forty Praetorian Guards, and couldn't help but feel frightened.

Anyone who saw this scene would never believe that Luo Yujun came simply to attend the Treasure Conference.

Walking into the Mermaid Kingdom with forty Praetorian Guards in tow, this display seemed like a confrontation rather than a casual visit.

And these two kingdoms, above the South Sea, are equally mysterious and infamous.

Even if outsiders cannot determine which side is stronger, it can be assured that neither side is one that an ordinary person can provoke.

Therefore, compared to the lively scene when the Hanhai Department entered the city, when the beast Boyi carried the carriage into the city, although there were many onlookers on both sides of the street, no one was making loud noises.

For ordinary cultivators, a hundred years is already considered a long time scale.

Even for the top cultivators, thousands of years of time are difficult to endure.

Ten thousand years of time is enough to erode many national inheritances...

Yet, Wuqi Country already existed one hundred thousand years ago?

She looked incredulously in the direction where the group of black-robed people disappeared, whispering, "But why has this Wuqi Country, with such ancient history, never been heard of above the South Sea?"

The Great Sage of Fu Feng sighed and said, "All because this country has always been focused on internal cultivation, never venturing into the outside world. Even if they occasionally go out, they never proclaim their reputation outside."

"I was able to know their names because I had a brief encounter with the lord of the Wuqi Country when I received the Roaring Goose Sword. Later, after I met Priest Li Po, he enlightened me and I learned how terrifying these mysterious black-robed men are."

The Great Sage of Fu Feng looked around and whispered, "According to ancient legends, Wuqi Country was a vassal state of the ancient demon, Candle Dragon, and they have been worshipping it for generations!"

"...?!"

The Great Sage of Fu Feng's whisper scared Madame Green Bamboo so much that her face turned pale.

Candle Dragon?

The infamous name of this ancient demon is known to everyone in the world.

As an existence with a notorious reputation since ancient times, it has survived the chaos of the ages and still holds a fearsome reputation even in modern times.

It is one of the most terrifying beings on the current stage.

Wuqi Country actually worships the Candle Dragon? No wonder it has survived for tens of thousands of years...

However, the priest of the Li Tribe who was able to expose the background of Wuqi Country, it seems that this mysterious and unfathomable Li Tribe has a history even longer than rumored.

Madame Green Bamboo was shocked, feeling like she had been drawn into a mysterious struggle far beyond her level. When the grand and vast curtains were drawn, a demonic cultivator like her seemed to be less than insignificant when compared to the tiniest of ants.

First, the Li Tribe's Hanhai Department appeared, then the ruler of the Immortal Kingdom, which had been closed for thousands of years, made their way into the city with the Praetorian Guards. And now, even ancient legacies like Wuqi Country have come to light...

What exactly has happened to the Mermaid Kingdom before their eyes?

Just the appearance of these few factions on the stage was enough to scare the crowd, not to mention the unknown number of equally powerful entities lurking in the shadows, yet to be discovered by the people...

Are these mysterious and terrifying entities really only here because of the Treasure Conference?

Although the Treasure Conference has a prestigious reputation, it doesn't seem quite noteworthy enough to cause such a great disturbance...
