"Boss, once we leave, the Imperial Palace will fall into the hands of traitors! Azure Dragon City is the foundation of our Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s fortune. If this city is lost, Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s fortune will suffer greatly, making things worse!"

A Supreme Sword God of the Azure Dragon Royal Family said sorrowfully.

"As long as the green hills are there, we won’t fear running out of firewood! Right now, our priority is survival. We must escape the Outer City and rendezvous with the Panlong Heavenly Emperor. It will only take three to five days for us to recover from our injuries and return to avenge our disgrace!"

"Go!"

The leader of the Azure Dragon Royal Family commanded without room for question.

Immediately, the remaining nine top powerhouses all followed the elder, fighting their way out of the Imperial City.

Given the strength of these people, if they are determined to flee, truly no one can stop them.

No less than nineteen Supreme Powerhouses, yet the encounter lasted only moments before more than half were lost. Nine of them fell.

Such a heavy loss was something the top experts of the Azure Dragon Royal Family had never expected.

Although Chu Feng’s Demon Body was powerful, it only managed to kill two Four Tribulations Supreme Sword Gods. The rest managed to escape.

"Come back, there’s no need to pursue them!"

Chu Feng ordered the Demon Body.

Right now, the most crucial task is to completely take the Inner City and the Imperial Palace. Then immediately activate the City Protection Array. Only this way can we withstand the frenzied attack of the 300,000 Dragon Guards.

With just 400,000 ragtag soldiers under Chu Feng’s command, dreaming of fighting against 300,000 Dragon Guards is nothing short of a fool’s dream.

"Emperor, the Outer City is about to be lost! The enemy is too strong. Our 100,000 troops have countless casualties, and only 30,000 can still fight!"

A Vice General flew over with urgency, reporting to Chu Feng.

Finally clearing the greatest obstacle in the Inner City, it seemed we were just about to take the Inner City and seize the Imperial Palace.

Yet at this critical juncture, Divine General Ling Feng’s side couldn’t hold out.

If the Outer City is breached, even capturing the Inner City will have little significance.

The remaining tens of thousands of troops are Chu Feng’s entire force, and they will all suffer losses here. At that time, the Great Chu Empire will be in name only.

"Wen Shu, lead the army to take the Inner City and the Imperial Palace as fast as possible. Remember, the primary task is to find the main hub of the City Protection Array. Strive to activate the City Protection Array in the shortest time possible."

After instructing, Chu Feng immediately flew towards the walls of the Outer City.

Upon nearing, he found the situation even more critical than imagined.

The enemy’s Dragon Guards were incredibly strong.

Not only were their individual cultivations powerful, but they were well-trained and well-equipped. Their joint assault and defense were like a tide, unstoppable.

"Panlong Heavenly Emperor, don’t you want to kill me? Do you dare to step forth and face me in a life-and-death duel?" Chu Feng looked up and glared across at Panlong Heavenly Emperor within the enemy forces.

At this time, those ten powerhouses of the Azure Dragon Royal Family had already escaped the Outer City, joining forces with Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

"Heavenly Emperor, you absolutely must not fall for that rogue’s trick! This person possesses a Ninth Grade Talisman Elixir and has already slain many Supreme Sword Gods of our Azure Dragon Royal Family. He even has a doppelganger, much stronger than his original! In an instant, he cut down two of our Four Tribulations Supreme Sword Gods!"

The leader of the Azure Dragon Royal Family urgently warned.

Though they have grievances with Panlong Heavenly Emperor, with Azure Dragon Imperial City being overrun by Chu Feng, they put aside their differences to unite against a common foe.

"What did you say? Chu Feng’s Demon Body can already kill Four Tribulations Supreme Sword Gods?" Panlong Heavenly Emperor glared with hatred at Chu Feng on the city wall.

Not even half a month ago, Chu Feng’s Demon Body grew even stronger?

Recently, Panlong Heavenly Emperor used sword technique divine abilities to seriously wound Chu Feng’s Demon Body.

"So the Heavenly Emperor knows about that rogue’s doppelganger! While we were fighting outside the city, he managed to stealthily enter the Imperial Mausoleum, destroying the ancestral Emperor’s Tomb. His doppelganger even fused with the ancestors, becoming incredibly powerful."

The leader of the Azure Dragon Royal Family spoke with regret.

If only a few had stayed to guard the Imperial Mausoleum.

They wouldn’t have given Chu Feng the chance to exploit a weakness.

"He’s grown stronger! Grown stronger yet again! We can’t wait any longer, or it will only render Chu Feng even stronger!"

"Dragon Guards, accelerate the breach!"

The Panlong Heavenly Emperor profoundly felt threatened, unwilling to let Chu Feng live another day.

Each time a period passed, Chu Feng would deliver a massive surprise.

Chu Feng’s speed of growth was terrifyingly remarkable.

"Right, Chang’e is still in the Imperial Palace. Why didn’t you bring her out with you?" Panlong Heavenly Emperor suddenly recalled and sternly questioned the ten top experts of the Azure Dragon Royal Family.

"At the time, the Inner City had not fallen. We didn’t expect Chu Feng to be so cunning and sinister, deliberately goading us until we approached him. Then he suddenly used a Ninth Grade Talisman Elixir, heavily injuring us all..."

These were not glorious details.

If the head of the Azure Dragon Royal Family didn’t clarify things, there would be a fallout with Panlong Heavenly Emperor on the spot.

"The Heavenly Emperor must prioritize the empire’s affairs, not let a woman impede national matters."

Seeing Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s odd expression, they could only persuade kindly.

Among the royal family members present, who didn’t lack women? In their eyes, as beautiful as women might be, they were no different from clothes that could be discarded at any time.

"What do you understand? Chang’e is not an ordinary woman. She and I took the Immortal Pill together... never mind, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you!" Panlong Heavenly Emperor felt particularly vexed inside.

He didn’t want to be a eunuch for life; to cure this ailment, he still relied on Chu Feng and Chang’e.

"I just hope Chu Feng hasn’t taken the Imperial Palace before I reclaim Azure Dragon City. Perhaps he doesn’t even know Chang’e is in the palace, which would be even better."

Unbeknownst to Panlong Heavenly Emperor, Chu Feng had long known Chang’e was in the palace.

Under Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s orders, the Dragon Guards and a multitude of Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s Divine Generals attacked Azure Dragon City with full dedication.

Chu Feng watched as his troops continuously died or were severely injured.

At this pace, the Outer City would soon be breached.

He was anxious and fretful.

"Chirp!"

At that moment, the sky echoed with bird calls.

Chu Feng was momentarily stunned. Could it be that his raised Divine Jin Que Bird had come to protect its master? But even so, it wouldn’t be of much use.

As he looked up, he realized flying in the sky was not his Divine Jin Que Bird, but an entirely crimson Phoenix. Its wingspan exceeded a hundred meters, appearing exceptionally extraordinary.

This bird seemed somewhat familiar!

"Chu Feng, don’t fret! I have brought the army, soon to relieve your siege!" The Vermilion Bird Emperor’s voice came from atop the Phoenix steed.

Panlong Heavenly Emperor and the others looked upward to the sky.

"Zhu Tianyao, you truly are like a haunting ghost! Dare you enter the heartland of my Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, are you not afraid you will never return?" The Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s expression was somber, furious at the arrival of the Vermilion Bird Emperor.
