Chapter 1311: Chapter 1086: Captured

Cloud Cliff Royal Court, to the east.

A solemn middle-aged man stood atop a high mountain.

This man, wearing a Vermilion Bird Black Robe and a Vermilion Bird Ring on his hand, was the Third Stage Royal Envoy of the Vermilion Bird Palace — Qi Feng.

Qi Feng pinched a Seal Technique with his hand, closed his eyes, while white airflow wings of a great phoenix formed behind him.

Countless white winds dispersed from the phoenix wings like the feathers of a great phoenix, blowing across the mountains, rivers, and muddy lands ahead, with Qi Feng as the center...

Pervasive and all-encompassing, everything within a hundred-mile radius was under his detection!

A Fourth Grade Investigation Technique — Phoenix Feather Wind Breath Technique!

At this moment, the Seal Technique in Qi Feng’s hand changed, and all the white winds reversed and retreated into the phoenix wings, which disappeared with a slight flutter.

”It’s really strange...”

Qi Feng opened his eyes and couldn’t help but frown.

”Both the western and northern sides have many demon kings reinforcing Cloud Cliff Royal Court, with a Sixth Stage Demon King even coming from the north, so why is the eastern side the only one without any activity...

The east is adjacent to the Kira Desert, it should not lack demon kings... Could it be that Qiguang’s people intercepted all the demon kings?”

Qi Feng was extremely puzzled in his heart.

The Vermilion Bird Courtiers were attacking the Cloud Cliff Royal Court and had sent a few people for reconnaissance and vigilance on the periphery, of which he was one.

If a strong enemy were to arrive, he’d deal with the weak ones himself or notify the Imperial Throne in advance to allocate personnel to handle them.

And after so many days of attacking the Cloud Cliff Royal Court, the west and north had reinforcements from demon kings, but the east remained silent.

It’s very strange, as the vast Kira Desert to the east has no shortage of royal courts, it should not lack reinforcements.

If it’s said that Qiguang intercepted them...

Not to mention, the relationship between Qiguang and Great Flame is quite delicate, and Qiguang’s base is in the central area of the Kira Desert, far from here, unlikely to send people over specially.

However, even though he was confused, Qi Feng did not disobey Fang Qingxiao’s orders to scout further.

For one, going out alone might encounter danger, and there’s no need for it either.

No demon kings coming for support is even better, he just needs to keep watch here...

While Qi Feng was pondering, suddenly, the ground shook violently, followed by a high-pitched bird cry from behind.

Qi Feng immediately turned around, only to see at the sky’s edge at the horizon, a giant Vermilion Bird shadow soaring into the sky!

”It’s captured?!”

Upon seeing this, Qi Feng was instantly overjoyed, immediately knowing that the Cloud Cliff Royal Court had been completely captured.

And in no time, Qi Feng received the news.

The Seventh Stage Demon King was executed, Cloud Cliff Royal Court... has fallen!

...

Unlike the Kira Desert, Daze Ridge is a landscape of rolling mountains and interwoven waters.

In the midst of Daze Ridge stands an extremely towering mountain, which is Cloud Cliff Mountain, where the Cloud Cliff Royal Court is located!

At this moment, within the Cloud Cliff Royal Court, the place was filled with broken walls and corpses all over.

Not just demon kings, but also many king’s subordinates and star beasts that hadn’t had time to retreat.

In a king-level battle, the king’s subordinates and star beasts were merely cannon fodder, shattered upon impact.

Within the former high tower of the Cloud Cliff Royal Court, Fang Qingxiao sat in the main seat, while Wei Chi Zhan, Liang Cheng, Jiang Lan, and many royal envoys stood below.

At this moment, everyone had large stains of blood on them, and quite a few were injured, some lightly, some severely.

”My respects, everyone has worked hard,” Fang Qingxiao looked at the people below and spoke slowly, ”The first battle of the Grey Realm attack, we have won!”

Although Liang Cheng, Jiang Lan, and the other Vermilion Bird Royal Envoys felt exhausted, their expressions were of great excitement.

”Glory to the Imperial Throne!” everyone shouted in unison.

In a great battle, the combat power of top-level forces has the greatest impact on the entire battle.

Fang Qingxiao’s slaying of the Seventh Stage Cloud Cliff Demon King basically decided the battle’s outcome.

Even if a Sixth Stage Demon King came to support, it would be of no use, only retreating in disarray.

Fang Qingxiao waved with a smile: ”For this outcome, everyone deserves great credit.

In this surprise attack, along with reinforcements from the demon kings, there were fifteen in total at the Cloud Cliff Royal Court.

We killed eleven, repelled four, a remarkable battle result!

There are many treasures here; once the aftermath is taken care of, rewards will be distributed based on merit!”

Upon hearing this, the royal envoys’ eyes brightened.

The Grey Realm’s accumulation over countless years is simply astounding.

Even a typical king-level carries one or two Fifth Level Treasures, let alone a high-level royal court with a Seventh Stage Demon King?

The materials stored in Cloud Cliff Royal Court approach four or five-tenths of Great Flame!

It’s no exaggeration to say that fully digesting the accumulations here could allow everyone except Fang Qingxiao to advance one or two stages!

Even a Sixth Stage King Level like Wei Chi Zhan might be able to break through to the Seventh Stage!

”However...” Fang Qingxiao’s expression turned stern as he continued, ”Although we won, Royal Envoy Wang Qi died in this battle; Gong Yuan and Jiang Hanlin were both severely injured, with substantial damage to their Yuan Qi.”

Even though Fang Qingxiao paid attention to the overall situation while dealing with the Seventh Stage Demon King, casualties were unavoidable in the chaotic king-level battle.

During the previous fight, the Third Stage Royal Envoy of two hundred years ago, Wang Qi, was crushed by a Fifth Stage Nine-tailed Cat Demon in the melee.

Gong Yuan’s chest was pierced with a basketball-sized bloody hole, while Jiang Hanlin’s left shoulder and half of his face were torn apart.

Although Gong and Jiang were saved by Wen Ziqing, who wielded the Fourth Stage Water Great Dao, they still suffered severe Yuan Qi damage and would need quite some time to recover.

However, compared to the demon kings we slew, this casualty ratio is outstanding!

”The number of Grey Realm demon kings is indeed staggering...” Liang Cheng sighed and observed, ”Even on the edge of the Grey Realm, a single high-level royal court has so many kings.

According to investigations, there are two more high-level royal courts in the depths of Daze Ridge.”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned slightly solemn.

Although the Sky Patrol Department’s experts are individually stronger than the regular royal court’s demon kings,

the quantity on their side is far inferior!

Under the Strong Assault Imperial Court alone, there are more than ten high-level royal courts.

Moreover, this doesn’t even count the five great armies directly under the Strong Assault Imperial Court!

The Sixth Stage Demon King who escaped from under Fang Qingxiao’s grasp previously belonged to the White Feather Guards of the five great armies.

In terms of king-level numbers, Grey Realm’s accumulation over countless years is overwhelming for Great Flame!

Seeing the grave atmosphere, Fang Qingxiao calmly spoke: ”The Grey Realm is, after all, a force of its own world, not something my Great Flame as a single continent or nation can resolve.

In the East Continent, Qiguang likely feels the Grey Realm’s threat more keenly now, and I believe deeper cooperation won’t take long.

Beyond the East Continent, once the Southern Continent understands that the Grey Realm’s demon kings can extract human laws, and the Grey Realm harbors abundant resources, the Southern Continent would find it hard to sit idly by.”

Fang Qingxiao’s words immediately eased the heavy mood of the royal envoys present.

Indeed, the Grey Realm is a match not for a single continent or country but the entire Blue Sea Star.

In the face of a great catastrophe, who can truly stand apart?
