Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor Yan, please restrain yourself; your elder brother is truly hones

The Three Serpents Venerable Elder threw out the elixir.

Zhang Yuan caught it excitedly; this time it wasn't an act.

Unexpectedly, lying and blaming the Yan Clan actually earned him a reward of a high-grade seventh-rank pill.

I'll take this when I reach the peak of the Dou Zong realm, and I'll be able to take off on the spot—it'll be incredibly awesome.

"Thank you, sir," Zhang Yuan said, his anger completely gone.

The Three Serpent Elder smiled to himself, thinking to himself, "You have no idea what I have gained."

"I will definitely complete the mission and hinder the development of Jiuyuan Prefecture," Zhang Yuan declared.

He doesn't actually have a top-tier power behind him; once the Nine Abyss Prefecture has developed to a certain extent, it will need time to digest it.

Then we'll claim it was our doing, and ask the Soul Palace for some good stuff. Plan complete!

"Go." Elder Three Serpents waved his hand casually.

Before Zhang Yuan could react, he found himself teleported outside the barrier of the branch hall.

“Perfect timing. We can start dealing with the Luoyan Empire, the Chuyun Empire, and the Mulan Empire.”

The "Eagle Protector" turned to look in the direction of the Gama Empire, his steps covering ten miles, his whole body exuding a murderous intent that kept strangers at bay.

According to the news from Xie Biyan, after learning that the Soul Palace was willing to support them, Luoyan Sect joined the alliance to attack Jiuyuan Mansion, and the forces behind the three elders of Mulan also sent a seventh-tier magical beast to help.

Although the Jia Ma Empire and the Yunlan Sect have clung to the Jiuyuan Prefecture, it is still uncertain who will win.

"You will soon find out that victory was already destined."

Zhang Yuan's true form began sending messages to Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and others.

In the blink of an eye, seven days have passed.

Black Mountain Fortress, located on the northeastern border of the Gama Empire, is the largest and most magnificent fortress within a radius of a thousand miles.

It has a history of over a hundred years since its establishment, and has survived several major battles without ever falling, but the city walls still bear very prominent marks.

The Black Mountain Fortress is now busier than it has been in the past century, simply because the armies of the Izumo Empire and the Luoyan Empire are pressing in on the border outside the fortress, while the army of the Mulan Empire on the eastern border has also begun to confront the Snake-People Clan army and the eastern army of the Gama Empire.

The three major imperial families, the Golden Goose Sect, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, and the Mulan Valley, along with other leading forces, jointly issued a proclamation, stating that the Jia Ma Empire's imperial family and the Yunlan Sect had betrayed the human race and colluded with the snake-people, and should be purged.

This is a life-or-death struggle.

Meanwhile, in a valley a hundred miles away from Black Mountain Fortress, Scorpion Biyan of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect was hosting a banquet for Yan Luotian of the Golden Goose Sect and several high-ranking Dou Huangs, the Three Elders of Mulan, a Dou Huang from the Cloud Empire, and a seventh-order magical beast, the Azure-Winged Silver-Eyed Python, sent by the forces behind the Three Elders of Mulan to provide assistance.

After some pleasantries, Yan Luotian asked, "Xie Biyan, our three forces have assembled. When will the people from the Soul Palace arrive?"

These forces could easily deal with the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire, the Yunlan Sect, and the Snake-People Clan, but these three parties were backed by the Nine Abyss Palace, so the Soul Palace had to deal with them.

"Don't worry."

Xie Biyan smiled sinisterly, took out the Nine Abyss Token, and infused it with a stream of battle qi.

After a moment, he replied, "The Eagle Protector of the Soul Palace is not far away and will be here soon."

Everyone's expressions turned serious, a mixture of anticipation and vigilance.

They hoped that the Soul Palace would have enough power to deal with the Nine Abyss Palace, so that their bet would be successful.

However, they also do not want the power from the Soul Palace to be too strong, so that they become completely subservient and do not even have the right to bargain.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

A sinister laugh suddenly echoed in the sky.

Immediately following, boundless black mist spread out, and a spatial rift appeared. The "Eagle Protector" emerged from it, releasing an aura that was infinitely close to the eight-star Dou Zong realm, casting a sense of oppression over everyone's hearts.

Behind him, another figure shrouded in black mist quickly emerged, its aura spreading and causing space to distort, making the energy of heaven and earth become turbulent.

Following this figure, two more figures emerged, also clad in black robes shrouded in black mist, exuding a sinister and terrifying aura, their eyes as calm as those of the dead.

All four were standing on the void, and all were Dou Zong level experts, two of whom were in the late stage, or even at their peak.

"Hiss~" Xie Biyan and the others were horrified.

As expected of the Soul Palace, it has countless powerful individuals.

A year ago, the four great empires combined wouldn't even be enough for four Dou Zong, while this other faction had four.

"Hehehe, the Soul Envoy is too weak, so I didn't bring him. I'll leave the matter of dealing with the Dou Huang of the Nine Abyss Palace to you. Is that alright?" The Eagle Protector landed in front of Scorpion Biyan and the others.

Several Dou Zong (Master of Fighting) figures followed closely behind him, arriving before the crowd and creating a great sense of oppression.

“No, that’s exactly right,” Yan Luotian said immediately.

"We have no objections either," the three elders of Mulan stated.

For them, dealing with a Dou Huang is like bullying a noob; it's incredibly easy.

"boom!"

Just as Xie Biyan was about to say something, a spatial fluctuation came from the distant sky, along with the aura of many Dou Huang powerhouses.

A few breaths later, Medusa and Yunshan appeared, gliding through the air with extraordinary grace.

There were also nearly ten powerful figures with wings of battle aura behind them, surrounding a man standing on a long sword.

The young man at the head of the group exuded an extraordinary aura and was surrounded by admirers; his identity was self-evident.

As soon as they arrived, the man said, "Guardian Eagle, I didn't expect you to still be alive."

"Zhang Yuan, you brat!!!"

The "Eagle Protector" was surrounded by a chilling aura of killing intent, a terrifying sight with blood and black intertwined.

Several Soul Palace guardians beside the Eagle Guardian also exuded killing intent and murderous aura, their silvery forms terrifying, and their chains fluttering.

Xie Biyan and the others tensed up and looked at Zhang Yuan and the others warily.

"You only have the strength of a Seven-Star Dou Zong left. The price you paid for faking your death and escaping that day was not small," Zhang Yuan said sarcastically.

"That was merely a momentary underestimation of my strength," the Eagle Protector said coldly, gripping his chains tightly. "Now that you've come, you cannot be allowed to live today!"

"kill!"

Scorpion Biyan and others: "."

That's way too direct.

However, the other party's intention in bringing people along was quite clear.

If it's time to fight, then fight!

"Stab!"

The chains in the "Eagle Protector's" hand flew out, so fast that they pierced through two of the three elders of Mulan.

The mysterious protector beside him raised his hand and unleashed a streak of pale white flame, tearing through space and descending upon Yan Luotian.

Xie Biyan and others: ? ? ?

What's going on! ?

Scorpion Bi Yan was startled and moved back, asking in terror, "Who are you?"

The "Eagle Protector" turned to look at him and chuckled sinisterly, "Heh heh."

"I am Zhang Yuan of the Soul Palace!"

Thank you to the reader "A Heart That Can't Stay Still" for the generous donation!

Chapter 165 Queen Medusa of Putin? This treatment is even better than what my godfather would receive.

Row

Soul Palace, Zhang Yuan?

Could it be that Zhang Yuan is actually a member of the Soul Palace?

"You are Zhang Yuan!!!"

Xie Biyan's eyes widened in horror as he finally understood something.

Clearly, the Nine Abyss Palace is also a force of the Soul Palace, but it pretends to be hostile in front of outsiders.

The battle at Yunlan Sect was a show put on by Jiuyuan Mansion and Soul Palace. It was Zhang Yuan putting on a show for the world, subduing the entire Jia Ma Empire without bloodshed.

No wonder, the Soul Palace helped Yunshan break through, and Zhang Yuan helped the Snake-People Queen Medusa and the Nether Sea Dragon Beast of the Gama Empire break through, and as a result, the three forces were as close as family, without any barriers.

They are all one family; they are just putting on an act for outsiders to facilitate the reorganization of their internal power.

At the same time, it also sends the wrong signal to these people, making them fear the Nine Abyss Mansion and act accordingly.

My encounter with "Eagle Protector" at the Soul Hall branch that day was not a coincidence at all; it was intentional on their part.

Zhang Yuan had long anticipated that they would come to the Soul Palace seeking help, so he deliberately set a trap to harm them and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But why? You're so strong, it's not like we can't join the Soul Hall!

"Zhang Yuan, we have no past grievances or present enmity, so why have you plotted against me like this?" Xie Biyan said angrily.

This gives him no chance to live at all; you could have just asked him to join you.

With so many people behind you, how could I dare say "no"?

"No grievances in the past?" A sharp glint appeared in Zhang Yuan's eyes: "You're really wrong about that. My maternal grandfather died because of the Izumo Empire. Although you didn't kill him personally, he died from the poison you concocted."

"Let's not even talk about how your Izumo Empire invaded the Gama Empire with wolfish ambitions. It was a war between nations, so there's nothing to argue about. At the time, we were on opposing sides, which is why you and I have a blood feud for killing my maternal grandfather."

Because of his mother, he also has the blood of the Xiao family.

"."

Xie Biyan was speechless.

Indeed, the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire are hostile to each other, and the leaders of both sides wish they could kill the other side. His words were somewhat foolish.

“But you are a protector of the Soul Palace!” Xie Biyan said, trembling. “For your own selfish gain, you have gone to such lengths to scheme against me. Aren’t you afraid of being held accountable by those above?”

"If you stop now, I am willing to give up my interests and beg for mercy, and surrender to the Soul Palace."

Zhang Yuan: ?

He didn't quite understand what Xie Biyan was saying.
