Chapter 57 Panic among the major forces.
A frenzy ensues deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xiong Jun looked at Zi Ji and said in a muffled voice, "This mother dragon's strength is probably going to surpass mine again, it's really annoying!"
His tone was filled with resentment, yet he acknowledged Zi Ji's power.
The three heads of the Crimson King nodded, showing awe at Zi Ji's strength. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked curiously at the dark aura.
Its Eye of Destiny could sense the darkness and destructive power contained within that force.
Haotian Sect.
"Another ferocious beast with extreme attributes! And a highly aggressive dark demonic dragon at that!"
The Seventh Elder's face was grim. "A higher ranking, and the rewards are more biased towards combat! If this beast appears on the battlefield, it will definitely be a deadly weapon!"
Tang Xiao said in a deep voice, "This demonic dragon is definitely a top-tier combat force in the Star Dou Great Forest. Pass down the order that in the future, when sect disciples enter the Star Dou Great Forest, they must be more cautious. If they encounter a place with a dense dark aura, they must immediately stay away!"
Martial Soul Hall, Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong gazed at Zi Ji's eerie and powerful figure, and the dark celestial phenomena it had unleashed, her eyes flashing with even greater coldness: "Ultimate darkness, somewhat similar to my Death Spider Emperor."
"Unfortunately, not of my kind. No matter how strong her power, she will ultimately become a stepping stone on my Spirit Hall's path to conquest, or… a decent choice for spirit rings and spirit bones!"
Her words were filled with undisguised greed and killing intent.
This was Bibi Dong's first reaction upon seeing the Dark Demon Dragon Zi Ji become so powerful.
She actually wanted to hunt souls!
The Hall of Offerings.
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly: "Dark Demon Dragon… such an existence, if it grows up, will pose a great threat to humanity. With the Golden Ranking appearing, the overall strength of spirit beasts has increased, and the situation on the continent may change."
His resolve to cooperate with the Honkai Academy deepened.
Honkai Academy, Observation Area.
The dark phenomena caused by Zi Ji in the sky, and the chilling dragon's might, made the atmosphere in this area heavy.
Unconsciously, the various factions formed several small circles based on their closeness and status, whispering amongst themselves. Although the major forces were in the same area, they were clearly distinct. In the Heavenly Dou Royal Family area,
Prince Xue Beng's usual arrogant facade had vanished, replaced by pallor and unease.
He looked at a general from the Imperial military beside him, his voice trembling slightly: "General, if this Dark Dragon appears on the Imperial border, how should we defend ourselves?"
The general's expression was grave, and he shook his head: "Your Highness, the Imperial's regular military force alone may not be able to contend with such a being. I'm afraid… we need to gather all our high-end forces and request the full assistance of the three upper sects to have any chance of survival."
His words made the envoys from other kingdoms around him even more worried. They whispered among themselves, discussing whether to jointly issue a warning to the Heavenly Dou Empire and the major sects, and to strengthen information sharing among themselves.
In the area between the Spirit Hall and the Hall of Offerings, Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.
Yue Guan lowered his voice, "Old Gui, this ferocious beast called Zi Ji received a reward, and its strength is probably approaching the level of Tang Chen back then! The strength of the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest is expanding too fast!"
Gui Mei's voice was hoarse, "His Holiness the Pope must have seen it as well. It seems that our Spirit Hall's plan for hunting spirit beasts must be re-evaluated."
Hu Liena nodded slightly, echoing, "Although the Spirit Hall is powerful, it will still be overwhelmed by the pressure from an entire group of spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. I will go back and write to my teacher, suggesting that we reach a cooperation agreement with the Hall of Offerings, temporarily setting aside some prejudices, at least in terms of intelligence sharing..." Their gazes inadvertently glanced at Qian Renxue and her group not far away.
Qian Renxue naturally heard their whispers as well. Her expression was cold, and although she did not turn her head to respond, she fully agreed with Hu Liena's suggestion.
He spoke softly to She Long and Ci Xue behind him, "Elders, it seems that on certain matters concerning the survival of humanity, we should indeed stand on the same side as the Papal Palace. There is a basis for cooperation between our two palaces on this matter."
She Long and Ci Xue nodded silently, clearly agreeing that internal strife needed to be restrained under the current circumstances.
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School area:
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong stood together, their auras forming a unified whole.
They naturally heard the discussions in other areas as well.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly and whispered to the two Douluo, Sword and Bone:
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Gu, in the previous ranking of potential soul beasts, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King lives in the deep sea and cannot affect the land. Bi Ji is the pinnacle of life, and her main healing ability can only indirectly expand the influence of soul beasts. But this Dark Dragon, Zi Ji, is different; she is a true mobile calamity!"
"The royal family is in a panic, and the Spirit Hall and the Hall of Offerings each have their own agendas. Even if they intend to unite, it will be difficult to achieve anything significant. In the end, they will fight their own battles."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong scoffed, "A bunch of juniors, what results can they come up with? When faced with a real crisis, it depends on how the rulers and the top human combatants discuss things."
He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking. "I must say, this Dark Dragon named Zi Ji is indeed troublesome, but my Bone Dragon really wants to clash with her!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes were sharp, his sword aura concealed. He was more concerned with practical matters:
"Fengzhi, the high-end combat forces of the Star Dou Great Forest are continuously receiving rewards from the Heavenly Dao. This ebb and flow, if it continues, will be extremely detrimental to our human race. We need to plan ahead for our relationship with the Honkai Academy, and it must become even closer." Ning Fengzhi nodded in deep agreement: "Uncle Jian is absolutely right. Rather than engaging in empty talk with those juniors with their own differing thoughts, we should directly ask Dean Zhang Yi for his opinion. He, and the Honkai Academy behind him, are the real key to influencing the situation in Douluo Continent."
After saying this, Ning Fengzhi, along with Sword Bone Douluo, ignored the probing or expectant gazes cast by other forces and walked straight to the center of the martial arts arena, where the young dean, who remained calm and composed, stood. Their actions themselves announced the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's decision to firmly cling to the Honkai Academy, and—they would only speak with the strongest.
This move also caught the attention of other forces, further highlighting the crucial importance of the Honkai Academy and Zhang Yi at this moment.
The members of the Spirit Hall, the Hall of Offerings, and even the royal family watched Ning Fengzhi and his companions walk away towards Zhang Yi, their thoughts varied, but they all understood.
Given the potential threat from the spirit beast forces, the kind of relationship they could establish with the Honkai Academy would directly impact the future safety and development of their respective factions.
An invisible new order, centered around the Honkai Academy, seemed to be quietly taking shape.
