Chapter 1257 The Beginning of the War

As the two left, the atmosphere around them finally returned to calm. Yuan Feng turned to face Lu Chen and the others, her eyes full of concern: "Are you all right?"

Lu Chen forced a smile and replied: "Thanks to you, otherwise it would be really dangerous today. Thank you."

Yuan Feng shook his head slightly and said, "No need to thank me, it's just a piece of cake."

At this time, Elder Zuo and Zi Xuan also expressed their gratitude to Yuan Feng, but Yuan Feng did not say much, just nodded slightly.

Then, after Lu Chen exchanged a few more pleasantries with Yuan Feng, he, Zi Xuan, and Elder Zuo teleported away from the void of the universe...

In the Baizhuotian Realm, in the main hall of the Dixuan Sect, as soon as Lu Chen, Zi Xuan and Elder Zuo stepped in, they felt a heavy atmosphere.

Emperor Xikang sat on the high platform, his eyes deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. Several elders sat around him, their faces were serious, and they obviously knew the result of the trip to the dragon territory.

Lu Chen knew without thinking that it must be Elder Zuo who sent the news back in advance.

At this time, Lu Chen and others quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Greetings to the Emperor."

Emperor Xikang waved his hand gently, signaling them to stand up, and said in a calm but dignified voice: "No need to be polite. I have heard about the results of this trip to the Dragon Territory. You don't need to blame yourself too much."

However, an elder could not help but stand up, with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone: "Your Majesty, Yao Chi Holy Land's actions this time are really disappointing.

If we don’t punish them, I’m afraid it will be hard to convince the public, so please make the decision, Your Majesty.”

"That's right. Before we set off, some people made big promises and even threatened Your Majesty with a place in the Chaos Secret Realm. Wouldn't it be unfair if we don't punish them?" another elder echoed.

As a result, the hall became noisy, and all kinds of remarks that were unfavorable to the Yao Chi Holy Land followed one after another.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xikang quickly raised his hand to stop everyone from speaking, then looked at Lu Chen and the other two and said:

"The failure of this operation is not the fault of any individual. The war is imminent, and I don't want to hear discordant voices."

Then, he turned to the elders who had objections and said, “I know you are angry, but at this moment, what we need is unity, not internal strife.

Although Yao Chi Holy Land has its share of responsibility in this incident, we should also see the efforts they have made for the entire alliance.

Besides, the war is imminent, you should be fully prepared, so retreat now."

When everyone heard that a war was about to begin, the hall instantly fell silent, and the tense atmosphere seemed to freeze the air.

Several elders who were originally whispering suddenly shut up, with expressions of worry and determination appearing on their faces.

One of the young elders could not help but step forward and asked respectfully, "Your Excellency, does this mean that the negotiations have failed?"

Emperor Xikang nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Indeed. Although we have tried our best to seek a peaceful solution, the three tribes are ambitious and have no room for compromise, so this battle is inevitable."

Hearing this, whispers were heard again in the hall. Some people looked worried, while others had fighting spirit in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, how should we respond next?" another elder asked anxiously.

"Your Excellency, what is the specific strategic deployment? We need to understand the enemy's movements and our defense priorities." Someone else asked.

Emperor Xikang nodded upon hearing this, looked at everyone with appreciation and said:

"Very good, the questions you raise are very important. Currently, the intelligence department is doing its best to collect information. Once there is definite news, I will inform you as soon as possible.

As for the key points of defense, Elder Wang Shouyi will personally supervise it. You should go back and be prepared to fight at any time."

At this point, everyone could only say goodbye and leave.

As soon as Lu Chen and Xiao Yishan returned to the temporary camp set up in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Lu Chen made an excuse that he had something to go out for.

In fact, he quietly returned to the previous hall.

The hall was exceptionally quiet at this time, with only Emperor Xikang standing there, as if waiting for something.

Lu Chen walked closer lightly, trying not to let his footsteps break the silence.

When he got close enough, Emperor Xikang turned around, with a hint of expectation and doubt in his eyes, "Lu Chen, you are here."

"Your Majesty." Lu Chen saluted respectfully, then stood up and looked at Emperor Xikang with a firm gaze.

"Just now, before you left, you sent me a telepathic message about the dragon race..."

Emperor Xikang's voice revealed an urgency that was difficult to conceal. "I hope you can confirm this again. After all, this matter is of great importance."

Lu Chen took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "Your Majesty, I understand your concerns. Indeed, I have convinced the dragons to turn against us during the war and help us fight against the demons and monsters.

But this matter is of great importance. I have confirmed it with Dragon Ancestor Ao Tian again and again, and I have received his personal promise. "

Hearing this, Emperor Xikang's expression relaxed a little, but he still looked serious and said:

"That's great. You have to understand that this is not only about the outcome of the war, but it may also affect the fate of the entire human race.

I have heard about the matter between you and Yaochi Holy Land. You chose to report this matter alone, probably wanting to leave Yaochi aside. I can let this go. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Your Excellency," Lu Chen replied, his eyes had never been so firm, "I want the qualification to go to the Chaos Secret Book, I hope Your Excellency can fulfill it."

It is said that the Chaos Secret Realm is in the Chaos Sky Realm and is controlled by several top forces. Because this secret realm is mysterious and is related to the breakthrough to the Taiqing Xuanxian Realm, there are no recommended places and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xikang stared at Lu Chen with burning eyes. After a long while, he said, "It's not impossible to give you a place, but you have to wait until the war is over. Do you understand what I mean?"

"This junior naturally understands." Lu Chen said respectfully, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.

He knew very well that Emperor Xikang wanted to see the final attitude of the dragon clan.

Then Lu Chen said goodbye and left. Emperor Xikang looked at Lu Chen's departing back, his calm eyes narrowed into a line, "This boy is really mysterious. He was able to convince Ao Tian. How did he do it? Could it be..."

When Lu Chen returned to the temporary camp set up in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it was already getting dark.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the tent onto the ground, casting an orange and yellow cast.

Xiao Yishan was standing in front of the tent with a frown on his face, obviously waiting for something.

Seeing Lu Chen approaching, a complicated look appeared on his face.

"Lu Chen." Xiao Yishan's voice was low and serious, "I have some bad news to tell you."…………
