Chapter 380: Spirit of the Throne
The Alan Territory had been completely destroyed that night.
Now it lay in ruins, the original mountains and hills reduced to a basin.
Yet atop these ruins, various masters had gathered at this moment.
Their eyes were all fixed on a cave.
The cave was artificially created, and Tai Sui sat quietly within, without a trace of movement.
Outside the cave, Wan Kai, Alan, Luo Yan, and others stood guard, preventing entry.
Even the largest local bigshot, Bull King... was blocked from entering.
"Heh, the Holy Spirit Society has just risen, and they don't even know their own last name?"
"We, the Three Kingdoms Nine Cities, filled with renowned True Dragons, have come, and yet Tai Sui refuses even to meet us? What's the meaning of this?"
"Is this an attempt to rise and then be annihilated? Without the recognition of our major forces, regardless of how splendidly Tai Sui fights, there's only one path to ruin!"
There were many strong forces present, and their numbers continued to grow.
Moreover, the attendees were at least True Dragons, each representing a City Level force behind them.
They were shocked by Tai Sui's achievements from that night.
And having witnessed Tai Sui dispatch an Angel Envoy to repel the Lion King earlier at noon, they all came to pay a visit.
Among them, there were those with fiery tempers, making noise within the crowd.
He felt Tai Sui had become arrogant, yet wary of Tai Sui's strength, hoping to incite the crowd to attack.
Wan Kai stood firm in front of the cave, his Demon Blade coldly gleamed: "Who's speaking? Dare not show yourself?"
Wan Kai's figure was emaciated, covered in bloodstains.
He had battled with the Lion King throughout the night and had reached his limit.
Had Luo Yan not arrived in time with the Dragon King Card to save him, he would have surely perished at the Lion King's hands.
Yet, through this battle, he had joined the ranks of the Quasi-Dragon King.
Treading the edge of death, his combat power had soared even higher, aided by both Saya and Kami, enabling him to survive to the next day.
One could say that that night, along with Tai Sui, Wan Kai too made a name for himself.
Unfortunately, he had been beaten too miserably by the Lion King, becoming thin as a whippet, with all energy exhausted.
Of the many True Dragons present, none feared him.
Someone stepped forward, speaking coldly: "It was me, Philip, speaking. So what? We of the Holy War Army have never been shy about our actions."
"And why does Tai Sui not dare to show his face? What's the point of hiding inside and keeping silent?"
"Could it be he's on the brink of death?"
At this point, a bald man adorned with a necklace of human heads spoke: "In my view, the one inside the cave might not be Tai Sui himself."
"Latest news, a great battle erupted over at Sea King Port, someone saw Tai Sui."
"I believe the real Tai Sui is still at Sea King Port, moreover, with the explosion so powerful just now, perhaps he has already died in battle."
This man was one of the three Great Sect Masters of the Golden Buddha Alliance, at the True Dragon Level.
Obviously, due to the death of Vine Arhat, he held extreme hostility towards Tai Sui, eager to charge inside.
Yet he held back, for Tai Sui's achievements were terrifyingly astonishing.
Unprecedented, breaking conventions.
Thus, even though he had guessed that the Tai Sui inside the cave was fake or mortally injured and comatose,
he still hoped someone would make the first move to test the waters.
However, no one was foolish.
Without a truly top-level figure leading, no one dared to really force their way inside.
Wan Kai stared at the True Dragon from the Golden Buddha Alliance, loudly proclaiming: "Kutuo, regarding Sea King Port, ask Sea King Port."
"Stop stirring up trouble here!"
The bald man's face of Kutuo showed anger, and he couldn't help but press closer: "Then how to account for Vine Arhat's death?"
"His cells lost all activity, he's completely dead!"
Wan Kai retaliated, refusing to yield: "If he died, he died, in battles, how can there be no deaths?"
"Are only your Golden Buddha Alliance lackeys allowed to pursue and kill us, but we can't counter-kill them?"
"If you want to settle this score, let the Great Black Buddha Mother come! You're not worthy!"
Kutuo's face twisted with malice, eager to strike.
But the more arrogant Wan Kai became, the more wary Kutuo was.
Just when he found himself in an awkward position, a True Dragon with a bushy beard from Vodka intervened: "Alright, whether it's settling accounts or not, let's discuss later."
"Today, I'm here on behalf of Bear King, to announce the recognition of Tai Sui as an independent entity."
"There's something I'd like to say to Tai Sui, just one question, then I'll leave."
Wan Kai tensed up nervously: "Bluebeard, if you have a question, just ask me directly."
"For I am already a Quasi-Dragon King."
The bluebeard from Vodka took a swig of wine, laughed faintly: "Quasi-Dragon King? Well, barely counts."
"However, some matters require Tai Sui's direct response, you really may not be able to answer."
Wan Kai felt exasperated that no one believed he was already a Quasi-Dragon King.
After all, he was beaten terribly by the Lion King.
Even though his strength had greatly improved, he merely survived under the Lion King's assault.
Wan Kai shook his head: "In any case, Tai Sui is currently asleep, please everyone head back."
"When he awakens, we shall invite all of you again as guests."
Some exchanged glances and immediately withdrew.
Like Saya and Kami.
Kami led Wei Miao and said: "Wei Miao is one of my Jiyi Army members, and I am taking him away."
Luo Yan saw Wei Miao showed no objection, so he just nodded.
Just as Kami was about to leave with his men.
Suddenly, from the north, a mighty figure flew in.
His speed was astonishing, slicing through the firmament like an eagle, arriving before the crowd swiftly.
"Awng!" Only after he landed did the piercing sound of the air being broken follow, echoing sharply like an eagle's cry.
The newcomer bore Latin American features, his long hair flowing, an aquiline nose, and piercing eyes.
A massive sword floated behind him, towering seventy meters tall.
Upon seeing him, Bull King's face changed color.
Wan Kai found himself instantly tensed up, muscles tightly coiled.
