Chapter 1215 Kneel.

1215 Kneel.

”Kill the intruders! Defend the palace until my parents return!” Xi Murongʼs voice echoed within the palace as he slaughtered the intruders.

When the intruders showed up, Xi Murong took command of the guards to defend his home. Although the palace is heavily guarded, they were still outnumbered by the intruders.

If it werenʼt for Xiao Hua, Feng Yuxiang, and Lan Yingyingʼs presence which the enemy did not account for, they wouldʼve had a much harder time defending the palace.

By the time Xi Shengmo returned to the palace, the majority of intruders at the palace had already been taken care of.

”Murong! What is the situation?!” Xi Shengmo asked the moment he arrived.

”Father! The Azure Dragon Family and the Emerald Dragon Familyʼs forces showed up out of the blue and started attacking our city! The palace is fine for now, but the city…”

”Donʼt worry, your mother and sister are taking care of the city right now. As for our situation, the Azure Dragon Family and the Emerald Dragon Family are working together to subdue us.” Xi Shengmo said.

”What?! Why would they do that?! Donʼt tell me… Is this related to Xi Meiliʼs marriage?!” Xi Murong could only think of one reason for their sudden aggression.

”No, it appears that they have been planning this even long before I was in power. We can talk more about this later, as we have a city to protect right now.”

”By the way, where is General Sun?”

Xi Murong quickly responded, ”General Sun, along with the majority of our forces, went to confront the Azure Dragon Family and Emerald Dragon Family that have gathered outside our city while leaving some behind to deal with the intruders.”

Xi Shengmo nodded, ”Let us quickly regroup with the others before we meet with the intruders.”

”We will come with you.” Feng Yuxiang said.

Xi Shengmo nodded, as he had no objection.

As they left the palace, Feng Yuxiang asked Xi Shengmo, ”Why did you suddenly disappear?”

”I went to investigate the dragonʼs roar.”

”Dragonʼs roar? What are you talking about?” Feng Yuxiang raised an eyebrow in a puzzled manner, as did Xiao Hua and Lan Yingying.

”You didnʼt hear the dragonʼs roar? It happened not long ago.” It was Xi Shengmoʼs turn to be puzzled. The dragonʼs roar was powerful enough to wake even those in a coma, so it was simply impossible to miss even if they were in a deep sleep.

”No, I didnʼt hear anything like that. Did you guys hear it?” Feng Yuxiang turned to look at Xiao Hua and Lan Yingying, who also shook their heads without hesitation.

”Weird. Maybe itʼs something only dragons can hear?” Feng Yuxiang said a moment later.

”Thatʼs… possible…” Xi Shengmo began pondering inwardly. After learning about the invasion, he momentarily forgot to ask Yuan about the dragonʼs roar.

Sometime later, they reunited with Yuanʼs group.

”Young Master! Are you hurt?” Feng Yuxiang immediately rushed over to Yuan.

He calmly shook his head.

”What about you guys?”

”We were all cultivating in our rooms when the palace suddenly got attacked. Of course, we only suffered minor scratches that have already been healed.”

Xi Shengmo then said, ”The majority of their forces are waiting outside the city for some reason. My forces are already there, but they will need our help.”

”They are definitely waiting for Patriarch Liang before they launch their real attack. Unfortunately for them, he wonʼt show up… ever.” Xi Meili chuckled.

Sometime later, they arrived outside the city, where tens of thousands of enemy forces were gathered right before the front gates.

The Xi Familyʼs forces were led by a middle-aged man, General Sun, who stood between the enemy forces and the city with a fearless expression on his face.

”Azure Dragon Family! Emerald Dragon Family! You guys must be out of your damn minds! Do you really think that you can take down the Xi Family by working together?!” General Sun roared at them.

”Youʼre as loud and obnoxious as ever, General Sun.” General Wan moved forward.

”If we werenʼt confident, we wouldnʼt be acting so brazening by attacking from the front and without any trickery.” Patriarch Cui laughed out loud.

”Oh? And where did you get such confidence? From Patriarch Liang?” Xi Shengmo spoke as he suddenly appeared before them.

”Emperor Xi!” Patriarch Cui subconsciously tensed up after seeing him.

”The Xi Family is here! Ready yourselves!” General Wan warned their forces.

”Your Majesty! You have returned!” General Sun immediately smiled upon seeing his arrival.

”I asked you a question, Patriarch Cui. Where did you get the confidence to attack my city and covet my wife, huh?!” Xi Shengmo repeated his question.

Patriarch Cui frowned upon hearing the last part of Xi Shengmoʼs question. It wouldnʼt be weird for Xi Shengmo to think that they were attacking his city because that was obvious, but Xi Shengmo shouldnʼt know about his desire to take Xi Mingze for himself, as that was something he recently revealed to Xi Meili.

However, according to General Wan, Xi Meili did not return to the city and actually went back to the Azure Dragon City.

”Why do you look surprised?” Xi Meiliʼs voice suddenly resounded as she appeared before Patriarch Cui.

”You! What are you doing here?!” General Wan was shocked to see Xi Meili in front of them.

”Should I not be here— in my own city?” Xi Meili acted ignorant.

”What happened to General Zheng?!”

”Oh, that bastard? Heʼs right here.” Xi Meili snapped her finger, and the very next moment, a body fell from the sky.

It was General Zhengʼs headless corpse.

”I wouldʼve also retrieved his head, but that wasnʼt possible. My apologies.” Xi Meili sneered in a cold voice.

”YOU BASTARD—!”

Before General Wan could fully grasp the situation, another body fell from the sky.

This body was missing two limbs and a head, but General Wan and Patriarch Cui knew at a glance who this body belonged to because of the clothes it was ”M-My Lord…” General Wan fell to his knees from shock.

”I-Impossible…” Patriarch Cuiʼs expression froze.

It was at this moment Yuan showed up before them.

Patriarch Cui didnʼt recognize Yuan, but General Wan instantly recognized him and knew that he was responsible for their deaths.

”HOW DARE YOU!!!” General Wan suddenly rushed at Yuan, his emotions completely out of control.

Yuan didnʼt move and merely uttered a single word.

”Kneel.”

Although it was just a single word, when it was uttered, General Wanʼs world suddenly turned pitch black, and he could feel an otherwordly presence staring at him from the high heavens.

General Wan wasnʼt alone. Everybody there, from Patriarch Cui to the soldiers at the back of the formation, watched their world suddenly consumed by darkness before being greeted by a massive golden eye.

And before they realized it, everyone there was on their knees.

”Y-Yuan…”

Yuan could hear Xi Shengmo calling for him in a struggling voice, and when he turned around, he was shocked to see that Xi Shengmo and Xi Mingze were on the verge of kneeling as well. As for General Sun and the rest of their forces, they were already on their knees.

Yuan had only intended to use Dragonʼs Gaze on the enemy forces, but he had underestimated the power of his Dragonʼs Gaze while still affected by his transformation, accidentally troubling his allies.

”S-Sorry!” Yuan immediately deactivated his Dragonʼs Gaze and apologized afterward.
