White Cloud Great Master yelled and condensed his true essence on his hands again, preparing his ultimate move.
But at that moment, the wolf-shaped fierce beast opened its mouth and sprayed out a dozen or so fireballs in succession before fleeing.
Those fireballs weren’t as strong as before and were completely destroyed by the Twelve Tiger Guards without suffering any injury.
“Kill——!”
Lin Ze looked at this situation and knew that this was his chance. The momentum of the Blue-Eyed Race had passed.
“Avenge Ling Xiao, avenge the dead soldiers, defeat the Blue-Eyed Race!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Heaven-shaking roars resounded.
The morale of human soldiers led by Lin Ze soared, and they rushed to kill their enemies.
On the contrary, Blue Eyed Race basically threw away their helmets and armor, fleeing in a hurry. They no longer had their initial prestige.
White Cloud Great Master didn’t care about the outcome of this war. He only had that wolf-shaped fierce beast in his eyes.
When that fierce beast ran away, he chased after it.
Boom!
Suddenly, something no one had expected happened.
White Cloud Great Master who had just rushed out was punched back. Blood flowed out of his mouth, and his complexion became very unsightly.
It was obvious that he had been seriously injured.
On the other side, a man wearing shining silver armor stood. He gently stroked the head of that injured wolf-shaped fierce beast, almost intimately.
The fierce beast lay beside him and let out a low whine.
What’s going on?
The people who were chasing after the Blue-Eyed Race also stopped.
White Cloud Great Master was forced back and seriously injured. This was not an ordinary matter.
Ling Xiao watched this scene nervously.
That wolf-shaped fierce beast actually had a master. Moreover, that master’s strength might be a lot stronger than White Cloud Great Master’s.
Otherwise, it was absolutely impossible for a simple head-on punch to make White Cloud Great Master vomit blood.
“Your Excellency, may I ask who you are?”
White Cloud Great Master asked coldly. Although his face was pale, if he fought with his life on the line, the opponent might not be able to escape unscathed.
“Heh heh, a trivial Rank One Transcendent martial artist dared to injure my pet. That punch was to teach you a lesson.”
That man wearing shining silver armor sneered.
Pet?
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this word. Such a powerful fierce beast was actually this person’s pet?
Where had this person come from?
How could he be so powerful?
“Are you a member of the Beast King Palace?”
Suddenly, Qi Yuan’s voice resounded. Although this voice was not loud, many people nearby could hear it.
Ling Xiao also heard his words since he was in his Enter Soul State.
“Beast King Palace? One of the twelve hidden sects: Beast King Palace?”
White Cloud Great Master’s complexion changed, and he turned to ask Qi Yuan.
“It can’t be wrong. There is the insignia of Beast King Palace on his armor, which is the head of the fierce tiger.”
Qi Yuan nodded.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect people who knew about our Beast King Palace to be in this secular world. Hahahaha, interesting.”
That man wearing a shining silver armor laughed and said, “Since you know about our Beast King Palace, you should understand how terrifying we are. Today, I came here for nothing special, just to ask a question.”
“Your Excellency, please do tell us!”
Qi Yuan said very carefully.
“You are tactful. The Landscape Martial Soul has appeared. I wonder if it has appeared in your White Cloud Province?”
That man asked.
Upon hearing this question, Ling Xiao’s heart tightened.
He inwardly felt that he was fortunate that he had never directly used his Landscape Martial Soul.
Although he knew that his Landscape Martial Soul would have been very powerful when used in battle, he had never used it due to his fear of being targeted.
He had never expected that someone would truly come look for him today.
“Landscape Martial Soul? How could a martial soul of this level appear in such a rural backcountry? Even if it appeared, it should have been among the twelve sects, right?”
Qi Yuan frowned and said, “I’m truly sorry, but I really haven’t seen it.”
Lin Ze nodded his head and said: “This Brother, I’m the Side General. All the young martial artists in White Cloud Province, as long as they have even a little aptitude, I know of them. But I have never heard of anyone with a Landscape Martial Soul.”
“This old man has never heard of it. If he had, this old man would have already accepted him as a true disciple.”
White Cloud Great Master also said.
“It seems you all are not lying, but…”
That man sneered. “The Ren Race has already submitted and pledged allegiance to our Beast King Palace. But today, you all have killed a lot of them. Although it’s like I am bullying the weak, Hollow Cloud City should not continue to exist.”
After speaking, he suddenly punched. The power of this punch was enough to destroy the entirety of Hollow Cloud City.
“Humph, the people of Beast King Palace are truly rampant, but today, I’m protecting Hollow Cloud City!”
A cold snort resounded, and a sword light flashed.
Then, that punch collapsed.
A swordsman in a white robe appeared above the battlefield.
With a treasured sword in one hand, the other hand behind his back and long hair dancing in the air, he looked like a sword immortal.
“A member of Sword King Sect?”
The complexion of that man wearing a shining silver armor became a bit cloudy. He then suddenly laughed: “Hahaha, just now, I was joking. If by chance there was truly a martial artist that had awakened the Landscape Martial Soul there, wouldn’t he have been killed in vain? Since you are here, I’m leaving!”
He used an unknown method to store that wolf-shaped fierce beast before flashing a few times and disappearing into the vast forest.
“Sword King Sect, it too is one of the twelve sects!”
Qi Yuan was truly shocked. In the past, he had rarely seen even one of the twelve hidden sects, but today, he met two.
“Noble warrior, many thanks for coming to our rescue. Otherwise, Hollow Cloud City might have been destroyed!”
Lin Ze hastily stepped forward and cupped his hands.
“No need, I also have the same goal as him. It’s more important to look for the martial artist who has awakened the Landscape Martial Soul. After all, Northern Han Country belongs to our Sword King Sect. I’m leaving.”
This person didn’t say much. His long sword flickered, and that person instantly disappeared like sword light breaking through the void.
Although he couldn’t fly, this person’s movement technique was a lot better than that of White Cloud Great Master.
No one knew when, but the remnants of Blue-Eyed Race’s army had already withdrawn from Cloud River. They returned to their Blue-Eyed Country in their mechanical warship.
Lin Ze didn’t dispatch troops to pursue them.
The sudden appearance of Beast King Palace and Sword King Sect had made his mood somewhat serious.
“Teacher, are you okay?”
He walked up to White Cloud Great Master and asked.
“I’m fine!”
White Cloud Great Master shook his head and said: “After tens of thousands of years, the twelve hidden sects have reappeared in Heavenly Dragon Continent. This is a big event. My injury is nothing compared to this.”
“But Teacher, what does the reappearance of the twelve sects have to do with us?”
Lin Ze asked in confusion.
“According to the rumor, only when the Landscape Martial Soul appears will the twelve sects reappear in the world, and the Human Race will enter a new prosperous age.”
White Cloud Great Master explained further: “I guess, the twelve sects as well as the other sects only second to them will begin to recruit disciples. The springtime of martial artists is truly upon us!”
“The Human Race doesn’t even have a complete martial soul. It’s even inferior to the Blue-Eyed and Ren Races now. How can it prosper?”
Someone asked.
“The Landscape Martial Soul is the ancestor of martial souls. Once it appears, all other martial souls will also awaken in succession. This is why more and more young martial artists have awakened incomplete martial souls recently.”
White Cloud Great Master smiled bitterly and said, “Why didn’t this old man expect this? Alas, I wonder what unfortunate man obtained the Landscape Martial Soul. I fear there will be no peace in his life.”
“Shouldn’t it be a great fortune to obtain the Landscape Martial Soul? Why is it unfortunate?”
White Cloud Temple Master couldn’t help asking.
