Chapter 326 Demonstration, Everyone Kneels Down!
Soon, a group of six people swiftly arrived outside the palace gate. However, they were stopped by Shen Yuantu and his men. Shen Yuantu, with a sidelong glance, said, "I'm sorry, but you can enter. However, you need to hand over your storage rings. I will keep them for you, and they will be returned to you intact when you leave."
This was for the safety consideration of Lie Feiyan and the others. After all, these six guys were all Self Union Heavenly Venerables. If they were to have evil intentions and go on a killing spree, it would be dangerous for those with lower cultivation bases. Taking away their storage rings would at least limit their use of magic treasures.
At the same time, it was also to demonstrate the power of the Divine Dream Empire. What does the Emperor of the Imperial Dynasty matter? When they come here, they have to follow the rules!
Ding Huai and the others were immediately furious. They were the Emperors of the Imperial Dynasty. When have they ever been treated like this?
"What if I don't give it?" Ding Huai's face turned cold as he squinted at Shen Yuantu.
Although Shen Yuantu's cultivation base was far inferior to Ding Huai's, he didn't pay any attention to this guy. With the Lord of the Alliance as his backer, what are you?
"Not giving it?" Shen Yuantu sneered, not mincing his words. "Then get lost!"
Ding Huai and the others were immediately enraged. "How dare you!"
Shen Yuantu chuckled and leaned his head over, arrogantly saying, "Want to make a move? Come on, attack me. If you don't, you're my grandson!"
The surrounding soldiers immediately surrounded them, their faces showing hostility, as if they were ready to fight at any moment.
Ding Huai and the others were furious, their faces turning pale and distorted, but they didn't dare to really make a move.
This was someone else's territory, and they didn't know the specific details of the other party. If they were to make a move, they would be in danger. Moreover, they came here to seek cooperation. If they rashly made a move, they would completely lose the opportunity for cooperation.
They really needed the Divine Dream Empire as a powerful ally.
But asking them to voluntarily hand over their storage rings was simply slapping them in the face. After all, they were Emperors of the Imperial Dynasty, and face was something they valued greatly.
The situation immediately reached a deadlock, with no one willing to back down.
At this moment, a voice from inside the palace said, "Let them in!"
Shen Yuantu snorted coldly and then stepped aside to let a few people in.
Ding Huai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, while also admiring the courage of the Divine Dream Empire. They actually dared to let so many Self Union Heavenly Venerables in at the same time. Weren't they afraid of something really happening?
It seems that the Divine Dream Empire is indeed extraordinary!
Upon entering the Great Hall, Ding Huai and the others immediately saw the Jiang Ruyi Scepter on the platform, and they were all slightly stunned.
How did she end up here?
Then they realized it, and a cold smile appeared on Ding Huai's face.
No wonder this woman rejected him. It turns out she had already sided with the Divine Dream Empire!
Then the gaze of the six people fell on the figure in the black robe, and their pupils contracted.
Who is this person? Why can't they sense any fluctuations in his aura?
Moreover, he was sitting on the throne in the first place. Even Empress Lie Feiyan and Jiang Ruyi Scepter could only stand by with their hands down, showing that his status was far above everyone present.
"Have you not paid your respects to the Lord of the Alliance?" Xin Chaosu said with a stern voice.
The Lord of the Alliance?
Ding Huai and the others looked at each other, knowing that they were in a position of seeking help and should not act too arrogantly. They cupped their hands together and said, "Greetings, Lord of the Alliance!"
The black-robed figure said indifferently, "What brings you little ones here?"
Little ones?
Ding Huai and the others frowned slightly. What an arrogant tone!
Their cultivation experience all exceeded ten thousand years, yet this black-robed person dared to call them little ones. Truly shameless!
However, they didn't dwell on this matter. It wasn't the time to be concerned about such trivialities.
Ding Huai said, "I believe both the Lord and Empress Feiyan are well aware of the current situation in Yongzhou. The Nine Curves Dynasty and the Yuan Void Dynasty are gaining momentum and have the potential to divide the world. I have convinced the other major dynasties, and if the Dream God Dynasty can join as well, we may be able to resist the invasion of the two Great Emperor dynasties!"
The black-robed figure nodded without expressing agreement or disagreement. He squinted his eyes and asked, "If the Dream God Dynasty joins, who will be in charge?"
When the major dynasties unite, there must be someone to lead and coordinate the overall situation. Otherwise, it would be no different from fighting separately, like a pile of loose sand.
Ding Huai adjusted his robe, glanced at the others, and smiled earnestly, "Thank you, fellow daoists, for your support. I propose that I be the commander-in-chief of this joint army, of course, temporarily. The specific details can be discussed with fellow daoists later."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall burst into laughter.
Ding Huai immediately became somewhat embarrassed and shouted, "What are you laughing at?!"
The black-robed figure pointed to Liefengyan and Jiang Ruyi Scepter beside him and said, "Cooperation is not a problem, but the joint army must be led by them. If you agree, stay. If not, you can leave now."
The arrival of these people was expected, but it didn't mean that the black-robed figure needed their help. Even with the current strength of the Evergreen Alliance, they were capable of dealing with the two Great Emperor dynasties. Their addition would only be an added bonus.
It would be better if they joined, but it didn't matter if they didn't. After dealing with the two Great Emperor dynasties, there would be plenty of time to deal with them.
Ding Huai and the others frowned. The others were fine, but Ding Huai felt a burning anger in his heart. He pointed at Liefengyan and sneered, "If Jiang Ruyi Scepter can barely pass, at least she is a Self Union Heavenly Venerable. This little girl is only at the Nascent Void Realm. What qualifies her?"
"What qualifies her?"
The black-robed figure raised his eyes slightly, a hint of fierceness in his gaze. "She is qualified because I support her!"
"Hahaha—"
Although Ding Huai was somewhat surprised by the black-robed figure's strength and methods, it didn't mean he was afraid. Now that his own position was threatened, he couldn't help but burst into arrogant laughter. He mocked, "Is there no one capable in the Dream God Dynasty? To make such a Nascent Void Realm girl the Empress, it's a huge joke. It seems that coming to unite with the Dream God Dynasty was a mistake. We're leaving!"
As he spoke, he was about to leave with his people.
But he suddenly heard the black-robed figure's slightly gloomy voice from behind, "Is this place where you can come and go as you please?"
What does he mean?
Ding Huai turned around abruptly and sneered, "Do you want to keep us here?"
He sarcastically glanced at Duan Ming and the others on the platform. "You have five Self Union Heavenly Venerables on your side, and we have six. Our overall strength is stronger than yours. If you want to keep us, I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"
"Is that so?"
The black-robed figure said calmly and pointed into the void.
Ding Huai's face suddenly changed, and he let out a piercing scream, clutching his Dantian. This frightened Ye Kaiming and the others.
"Ding Huai, what are you screaming for?!"
Liu Fenghua complained somewhat dissatisfied, but was immediately shocked by Ding Huai's current appearance.
Ding Huai's face was distorted, his mouth wide open, and black flames faintly emerged from it. He seemed to have lost his sanity, rolling on the ground in unbearable pain, as if enduring unimaginable suffering.
