A trace of nostalgia and regret rose in Liu Dongming’s empty pupils, finally dimming completely...
The Vermilion Bird Imperial traitor, [Demon] Liu Dongming, executed!
"Good!"
"Finally executed the traitor!"
He Zheng and the others had smiles on their faces, their expressions full of pleasure and release!
No matter what happened before, betraying the Vermilion Bird Imperial and causing the death of Nangong True Monarch were reasons enough for Liu Dongming to die a thousand deaths!
It’s not that we were unjust, it’s that you betrayed us first!
Yet in Jiang Lan’s eyes, besides the pleasure, there was some loss and yearning...
If all of this hadn’t happened, what could it have been like?
If Liu Third Rank hadn’t betrayed us, perhaps Nangong wouldn’t have died either...
But soon, Jiang Lan’s eyes focused, casting aside all these emotions completely.
Look forward!
The Vermilion Bird Imperial now is a brand new Vermilion Bird Imperial!
Jiang Lan walked up to Su Yuan, cupping his hands and saying, "We failed to guard the vein properly. Thank goodness the True Monarch arrived in time!"
Su Yuan replied, "I only did what I promised you."
Jiang Lan immediately recalled that Su Yuan had previously assured him that he would help personally eliminate Liu Dongming.
Looking at the silver-haired youth before him, Jiang Lan took a deep breath and solemnly bowed, "Thank you, True Monarch!"
Previously, it was merely recognition of Su Yuan’s strength and capability, as there was Nangong Li before, who was not someone that could be easily replaced.
But at this moment, Jiang Lan was completely convinced of Su Yuan in his heart.
He Zheng and the others also bowed, their eyes full of fervor, "True Monarch!"
"There’s no need for such formality from everyone." Su Yuan waved his hand, then asked, "Jiang Lan, what is the current situation?"
Jiang Lan said, "Previously, there were a total of five veins forming in the Secret Realm, but later communications were cut off..."
Jiang Lan quickly informed Su Yuan of all the known circumstances.
After listening, Su Yuan had already guessed the general situation.
"So it seems they should be converging in one direction... Since they are not here, then they must be elsewhere."
Su Yuan flipped his hand, releasing a white-haired girl in a black dress.
"Ashley, can you predict where?" Su Yuan asked.
"Boss, I’ll give it a try."
Ashley immediately clasped her hands together, the Golden Track of Destiny spinning in her eyes as the power of the Oracle slowly unfurled.
Jiang Lan and the others watched Ashley with a hint of curiosity. Although her realm was slightly lower, the power was quite mysterious.
Everyone knew she was the sole surviving Aries from the Twelve Star Palaces, a product of Holy Blessing of the original era!
Predicting the actions of numerous top experts of the enemy directly might not be easy for Ashley of the Early Sun Realm.
However, Ashley was already experienced in this kind of less direct divination.
After trying two or three times, Ashley’s face turned slightly pale, with fine sweat trickling down her forehead.
Suddenly, Ashley opened her eyes and pointed in a direction, "Boss, over there!"
He Zheng saw this and said immediately, "Over there is where Qilin Imperial’s Second Chair Wenren is, Wenren Second Chair initially found a Starlight Dragon Vein."
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan realized that the decisive battle might have already begun...
Moreover, the enemy came prepared, taking the initiative to lock in the battle location.
Since Xiahou True Monarch, the head of the Five Imperial, was inside the Secret Realm inner palace, it caused a delay in the response of the Sky Patrol Department outside.
"We must head over quickly then." Su Yuan squinted slightly.
"True Monarch, let us come along!"
Hearing this, Jiang Lan, He Zheng, and the others stood up, clearly intending to accompany him.
Su Yuan looked at the not-so-good condition of the people on the scene, finally resting his gaze on the Starlight Dragon Vein not far away.
If it were as Jiang Lan said, then as long as they occupy any one of the five dragon veins, they can prevent Qiguang from taking the dragon veins.
If Wenren Feng couldn’t hold the dragon vein there, and it was taken by Qiguang, then safeguarding this dragon vein here would be the safe choice.
As the Vermilion Bird courtiers were all seriously injured, it was best to rest here and also manage the situation...
After a brief consideration, Su Yuan said to everyone, "You are all heavily injured, continue to stay here and guard this dragon vein."
Jiang Lan, He Zheng, and the others wanted to go to the site of the decisive battle, but since Su Yuan instructed this way, they had no objections.
"Yes, True Monarch!"
