Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 1054 - 690: Banquet for 7 Kings

"And most importantly, we seven inherently detest the Court. Now that you’ve taken over the power of Shu, if you try to summon them with that authority, it might actually provoke their hostility, counterproductive!"

He was advising Chen Yuan to abandon this idea.

Unexpectedly,

"Who said that I represent the Court?" Chen Yuan smiled faintly, with an ambiguous expression.

"What do you mean?"

Facing the king’s gaze, Chen Yuan’s voice was deep, "If it were for the Court, I naturally wouldn’t do such a thing. But what if it is for myself?"

"After all, I’ve already learned enough lessons and don’t want to be subjected to others anymore, isn’t that right, Elder Luo?" He said with a smile.

King Luo Cheng heard this, and his furrowed brow relaxed a bit, which made sense,

"Then I’ll give it a try!"

"No, never mind my proposal earlier," Chen Yuan unexpectedly replied.

King Luo did not become angry but looked quietly at Chen Yuan, waiting for his explanation.

"Elder Luo reminded me that there’s enmity among the kings. If I were to invite them in the name of you, it might provoke hostility from the others and make things difficult for you."

"I will use my own name and host a banquet to invite several kings together!"

"As for the location, it will be chosen at Feiyun Mountain, between Dingshan Pass and Zhen Nan Prefecture!"

"This place is centrally located among the Seven Mansions, conveniently accessible."

"The time will be set at 7 p.m. two days later, how about it?"

"Okay."

King Luo pondered for a while and nodded.

"Since that’s settled, Chen Yuan will have my people send the message to each king."

"At that time, I would also ask Elder Luo to help hold the fort." Chen Yuan said with a smile, then gestured a respectful farewell to him.

"Since this matter is settled, I’m ready to take my leave." He said.

King Luo nodded, "I won’t see you off."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan leaped off the tower and then soared into the vast heavens, disappearing without a trace.

........

After parting ways with King Luo, Chen Yuan didn’t return but instead entered the Ten Thousand Mountains, heading south as night began to fall.

Along the way, he indeed found that the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains were again showing signs of the Devil Race.

However, his purpose this time wasn’t the Devil Race, and he sped through without stopping, moving rapidly without leaving a trace.

Not long after, in the darkness, Chen Yuan’s silhouette appeared within a realm, where it seemed as if the sky was pierced, revealing a vast hole nearly immeasurable.

The sky seemed to tilt to one side; amidst the enormous hole, broken stars turned into sky fire descending on the world; Thunder Snakes leapt out of the void, dancing wildly; the space was in a state of extreme chaos. Meanwhile, countless broken mountains and trees floated and collided in mid-air, with constant rumbling echoes.

As for the ground, it had long been fragmented, transformed into endless abysses below!

Even seeing such a terrifying spectacle again, Chen Yuan was still somewhat amazed.

This was the location of that Lower Realm gateway!

Golden light flickered in his eyes, followed by jumping lightning and thunder from his body. Then a surge of Five-Colored Divine Light appeared, and the True Dragon Treasure Armor emerged from his form.

Following this, he stamped the ground and transformed into a streak of rainbow light, rushing into this chaotic realm.

Hidden within were spatial cracks, falling fire from the sky, rumbling Thunder Trees, massive floating boulders...

Chen Yuan traversed through; the deeper he went, the harsher the environment became, with spatial storms tossing stones around making it hard to see, and ominously filled with danger.

The rainbow light that Chen Yuan had become navigated unhindered, but he clearly sensed that, compared to the last time he followed King Luo into this place, the Heavenly Cave seemed much larger!

Like a black hole rapidly expanding, encroaching upon the Ten Thousand Mountains!

Could this be related to the Devil Race in the Ten Thousand Mountains growing restless? Chen Yuan suddenly linked this thought.

However, as he ventured deeper, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and flicked his fingers towards a direction in the storm.

A streak of golden light shot out, piercing through the Wind Mastery and darkness.

Soon, a ’bang’ sounded.

From the opposite side, a streak of green light flew out, blown back by the golden light he flicked.

Before he could make another move, an urgent, fierce energy surged rapidly from a depth above his right shoulder.

A fiery flash quickly sliced down straight at Chen Yuan, but his True Dragon Treasure Armor automatically emitted Divine Light, blocking the incoming fire.

An intense red-crystal flying knife!

The flying knife slashed against the Light Mask, its blade buzzing with a piercing sound.

"Zing"

From the left front, another streak flew from the Wind Mastery. Chen Yuan tapped his finger, and the wind halted the object coming towards him, revealing a small green tower.

And from above, below....

As if he stepped into some Prohibition, several weapons simultaneously locked onto him, erupting swiftly like lightning.

Seeing they couldn’t break his defenses, the Divine Weapons illuminated brightly and enlarged with the wind, squeezing towards the center, trying to breach the outer layer defense of the True Dragon Treasure Armor.

Meanwhile, within the dark Wind Mastery, several luminous figures suddenly emerged, exuding brilliant energy.

One figure had three pairs of flame-like wings behind him, raised a golden seal high in his right hand, mounted on a tiger like Angry-eyed Vajra;

Another figure with eyebrows erect like iron brushes, beard like steel needles, wide mouth exposing sharp fangs, indigo face with twisted blue veins on cheeks, fierce and imposing....

These people aren’t demons, their presence is filled with rich incense fire spirit.

"Hold your hand!"

Just then, an aged voice was heard, halting the enlarged glow of the Divine Weapons.

With those words concluded, a ripple flashed in the Wind Mastery area, a figure stepped forward.

An elder wearing a yellow jacket, with white hair and neatly combed beard, walked leisurely in the void, waving his hand.

The Divine Weapons quickly flew back, shrinking, clearing the view to reveal Chen Yuan’s silhouette.

Seeing Chen Yuan, there was a peculiar expression on the elder’s face,

"Why isn’t General Chen stationed at Jingguan City, but suddenly appears here?"

The Gang Shield on Chen Yuan vanished, "Hearing that Qiong Temple Priest is guarding the Lower Realm gateway here, I happened to have business, so I came this way."

As he said, his eyelid moved slightly, eyes scanning the tearing Wind Mastery and the incense spirit figures standing around.

"These people, General Chen has met, any impression?" Qiong Siliu understood Chen Yuan’s intention and smiled, stepping forward.

"Met?" Chen Yuan was puzzled, then Qiong Siliu squinted and smiled,

"Does General Chen not remember the clay sculptures he saw when he first entered the Temple of Martial Arts?"

"So that’s it!" Chen Yuan realized, these are the Divine General and Divine Monarch worshipped in the Temple, Kang Jin Divine General, Kui Gang Demon Vexing Divine Monarch.....as Qiong Temple Priest introduced before.

Turns out, these people along with Temple of Martial Arts Priest Qiong Siliu were guarding this place!

"What business does General Chen have here?" Qiong Siliu then asked.

"The Devil Race in the Ten Thousand Mountains is restless, I have prepared troops."

"But before that, I plan to host a banquet, inviting the Undying Kings occupying the seven Prefecture Cities, to see their stance."

Qiong Siliu pondered, "These people are not easy to deal with, they resent the Court, best not to provoke them deliberately, it’s a variable. Does General Chen really want to contact them?"

"These kings stand between Shu and the Ten Thousand Mountains, we will eventually face them. It’s better to clarify matters first."

"When?"

"7 p.m. the day after tomorrow!" Chen Yuan replied.

"Is General Chen here to ask for help?" Qiong Siliu thought Chen Yuan came for his assistance in case of unexpected events.

"Not at all. It’s merely on the way to visit you, and ask why Lord Qiong advocated to Helian Mountain for me to manage Yunding Mountain?" Chen Yuan casually asked.

Qiong Siliu smiled, calmly stating:

"Just because General Chen dares to invite the Seven Kings the day after tomorrow!"
