Chapter 1053: Chapter 1036: Royal Manor Deliberation - Brothers’ Internal Strife!

"Bow!"

A deep voice rose from the earth, with Xiao Chen leading, all warriors thrice bowed before the fallen brave.

"At this moment, we honor these warriors who have perished fighting the foreign races."

Xiao Chen’s voice rang out again, and soon the corpses of the War Soldiers would be returned to their tribes, while corresponding compensations would also reach their families.

The compensations had been exchanged by Xiao Chen into blood essence and Yuan stones, suitable cultivation resources for ordinary warriors.

"As for joining the War Masters and accompanying me in the conquest of the Beast Underworld, as long as one can pass the assessment of the Hundred Battle Camp, there will be an opportunity to follow me in the invasion!"

Xiao Chen’s voice reached the ears of every warrior, and soon he returned to his tribe.

Beast Underworld.

The storm brewed by Xiao Chen’s lead of the Human Race Warriors into the Beast Underworld was far from over and, for some of the Royal Beast Race, it was akin to a thunderbolt in a clear sky.

Azure King Mansion!

After the Azure King left the Beast Underworld, his eldest son took charge of the Azure King Region, with the Grand Elder managing and the grand priest assisting.

In the entire Beast Underworld, there were but a few forces that could rival the Azure King Mansion, and not many in the Northern Territory dared to provoke the mansion, apart from his two blood brothers, the lords of the Wolf Mansion and Xiongyue Mansion.

The Azure King had four offspring; apart from these three, he had a younger sister who was married off to a direct descendant of a Hidden Family within the Royal Beast Race.

In the past, these siblings’ disputes were constant, but now, with the Human Race encroaching on the Beast Underworld, and especially into the Azure King Region’s territory, it became a matter of utmost importance.

If mishandled and blamed by the Emperor Grandmasters, even the Azure King himself would face punishment.

Moreover, the rampage of the Human Race on their own land was a humiliation, a direct slap across the face of the Azure King!

In the Great Hall of the mansion, numerous Strong Ones of the entire Azure King Region gathered.

Seated in the main seat was not the Azure King, but his eldest son, Nufeng, which caused discontentment with his other two sons, the lords of the Wolf Mansion, Nushan, and Xiongyue Mansion, Nujue.

The council had not yet begun, and already tensions were high.

Seeing this, several other figures in the hall could not help but give a bitter smile; now, in the absence of the king, with the Human Race rampaging outside and a lack of unity within, disputes continued!

"Three young masters, now that the Human Race Divine Marquis has come to our Azure King Region, committing arson, killing, and looting, and has annihilated two Legendary Forces in one fell swoop, we must act, or our Azure King Region will be turned upside down!"

The Grand Elder of the mansion was the first to break the silence and spoke out, altering the tone in the hall.

"Do we even need to discuss it? This Human Race must be eradicated; otherwise, where would the face of our Azure King Mansion be? I’m sure the eldest brother already has a plan!" the Lord of the Wolf Mansion said.

"Yes, now that the eldest brother is in charge of the mansion, our two clans have been excluded and are independent. With the Human Race running riot in the Azure King Region, naturally, our elder brother has considerations to recoup the mansion’s reputation, right, elder brother?" Lord of the Bear Moon Residence spoke dismissively, as if the matter was of no concern to him.

"The younger brother is right; now that elder brother is the one favored by our father, commanding the entire Northern Earth, able to mobilize the mansion’s resources. Surely, an invasion by the mere Human Race is akin to extermination at a moment’s notice. We just have to await the good news!"

"That’s right; mobilizing the entire mansion’s resources, the collections of you and I, brothers, surely would not catch the elder brother’s eye!"

The two brothers echoed each other, hardly leaving space for other warriors in the hall to speak.

Suddenly, this made Nufeng’s expression turn dark. The underhanded struggle amongst the siblings had been continuous, but he had not expected that, on this crucial matter impacting the Azure King’s reputation, they would still oppose him!

The others did not interject into the conversation between the three brothers.

"Since both of you younger brothers feel this way, it seems you have prepared your territories well and do not fear the Human Race invasion. That is excellent, for it allows the elder brother to concentrate the mansion’s resources to track down the movements of these Humans."

Nufeng spoke, his eyes sweeping over his two brothers, and paused before continuing, "If this Human Race force enters your territories, as long as you can hold them back, elder brother will personally support you."

At Nufeng’s words, the two brothers’ expressions tightened, their brows twitching fiercely, and all this was seen by Nufeng.

The Human Race, having destroyed the Supreme Wind Clan and Ruo Wantao’s Beast City, were undoubtedly immensely powerful, at the pinnacle just below the level of kings. Although the Wolf Mansion and Xiongyue Mansion were collectively referred to as part of the five major forces, in reality, it was all about putting gold on these two men’s faces.

Since they could easily obliterate Ruo Wantao’s Beast City, overthrowing their territories would be effortless.

The two lords knew this and furthermore, they did not trust their elder brother’s so-called rescue.

"Three young masters, with the king now absent, it is a time for us to pull together, to set aside internal family squabbles, for behind closed doors we are still one family. But now, as the Human Race invades, they are the enemies of our entire Royal Beast Race!"

"The Grand Elder is correct, this Human Race is the enemy of our whole Royal Beast Race, and they have annihilated two of the great forces under our mansion. If we don’t completely exterminate them, it would be an indelible disgrace for our mansion," said the Grand Elder, adding weight to the urgency.

Seeing that his two brothers had stopped speaking, Nufeng’s gaze once again shifted to another person in the Great Hall, Ruo Wantao, who had fled from the Beast City directly to the Azure King Mansion seeking refuge!

"Lord Ruo, please tell us what you know about this force of the human race," said Nufeng.

Although Ruo Wantao was not as disheveled as he had been previously, his complexion was still a bit pale, clearly due to injuries that had not yet fully healed.

"Young Master, I am no longer worthy of the title of city lord. My entire Beast City, with its tens of millions of kin, has been slaughtered by the human race. I am unable to avenge such a great enmity. Today, I have come to serve under the young master, solely seeking that you avenge the countless citizens of my Beast City!"

Now that Ruo Wantao had come under Nufeng’s command, his Half-King Peak Realm cultivation naturally warranted personal reception by Nufeng. After all, such a strong one was very difficult to recruit on a regular day, not to mention a once lord of one of the five major forces under the king’s rule.

As long as this force of the human race was destroyed and Ruo Wantao supported in rebuilding the Beast City, then he would have his own private guard, a vassal of a legendary force.

Before long, Ruo Wantao relayed all the information he knew, even detailing the scene where Xiao Chen led his troops in a surprise night raid on Beast City, leaving nothing out—except, of course, the details of his own escape.

"Therefore, I suspect that the human race has secret control over a Void Path, which leads directly to our Beast Underworld!" In the end, Ruo Wantao offered his analysis as well.

However, traditionally only they, the Hundred Clans, had established Void Paths to the Human World for conquest, never had it been heard that the human race had created a Void Path to their Small Worlds.

"If a new Void Path has been established, there must have been slight turmoil in the Small World, and the newly established Void Path certainly cannot be traversed within a short time. Hence, this Void Path must have existed for a long time already!"

For a long time already!

The Azure King, as the ruler of the Sacred Beast North District, had presided over the Northern Region for countless years. No one knew more about this land than he!

Yet, he could not recall any unknown Void Paths in the Northern Region.

"Could it be that they have found an ancient Void Path!" Finally, the Grand Priest exclaimed, speculating that the only Void Paths they did not know about would be ones established long ago or ancient ones already abandoned.

"We must find this ancient Void Path!" A hint of killing intent flashed in Nufeng’s eyes.

"Easy to say, but now we have even lost track of the human race’s whereabouts. How do we find them?" Lord Xiongyue retorted coldly.

"Young Master, I believe there is something more important than finding the human race at the moment," Ruo Wantao spoke up once more.

"What is it?" Nufeng asked.

"Seal off the news!"

"Seal off what news? The invasion of the Beast Underworld by the human race has already spread far and wide. Sealing it off now won’t prevent the news of total annihilation of your Beast City’s citizens from spreading!"

"Lord Ruo, you’ve already lost all face. Is sealing off the news now going to be of any use?" Lord Xiongyue sneered, clearly dissatisfied with Ruo Wantao’s defection to Nufeng.

"Young Masters, when I say to seal off the news, I refer to the news concerning the Hollow Void Battlefield!" Ruo Wantao appeared not to notice Lord Xiongyue’s mockery and continued, "Currently, the king himself is leading tens of millions of warriors in fierce combat at Hollow Void. If these War Soldiers learn that their own tribes have been ravaged by the human race, the military will surely become unstable and chaos will ensue!"

"Most of these War Soldiers have been conscripted from our Northern Territory. If unrest arises, it could greatly affect the battle outside Hollow Void and could even result in a catastrophe!"

"I estimate this force of the human race attacking our Beast Underworld at this time is specifically intended to cause upheaval in our realm, which will ultimately impact the battle at Hollow Void!"

"Exactly!" Nufeng quickly agreed. The Supreme Wind Clan had sought to break the seal and invade the Human Realm to cause its downfall, and now the human race had taken the initiative!

"Grand Elder, proceed to Hollow Void and report to my father, the king, the events that have occurred in the Azure King Region as well as seeking his advice on how to handle this matter!"

"Yes!" The mansion’s Grand Elder promptly accepted the command.

"Now that the human race has concealed themselves, finding them will not be simple. Lord Ruo, do you perhaps have any strategies in mind for how to respond?"

"Young Master, this human force possesses great ability to conceal themselves. They could easily infiltrate any aristocratic family in our Northern Region. Moreover, their goal seems to stir up disturbances in the Hollow Void Battlefield," Ruo Wantao said after a pause.

Continuing, he added, "To create the maximum upheaval, they must take action consecutively within a short period in our Northern Region. Now that the Supreme Wind Clan and my Beast City have been destroyed, they will certainly have further plans!"

"Lord Ruo says that they are going to destroy the Kuiju Family next!" Lord Xiongyue interjected unexpectedly.

Yet, Ruo Wantao’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he quickly responded, "Perhaps the Kuiju Family no longer satisfies the human race’s appetite!"
