"What's going on? Is it someone from the Realm of the Gods and the Immortals? "
"No, all of them have the aura of the Divine Veins. Furthermore, all of them are at least Saint Rulers and there are many God Emperors."
Lei Ao landed a heavy punch on the ground. He had just awakened his origin energy, so he could only unleash the power of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Ruler.
This new batch of people were obviously from the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan. Perhaps their numbers could not compare to the previous batch, but their strength was definitely beyond what they could achieve.
Judging by their auras, there were at least thirty of them. The rest were all Saint Rulers and not a single one below them. They could be said to be the true elites of the Divine Bloodline Family.
Originally, with the Demon Emperor and Demon Lord joining in, the victorious Sky Pang had fallen towards Lei Ao's side. Now that this new batch of enemies had appeared, the outcome was hard to predict.
Although the Demon Emperor was a sovereign, would he be able to simultaneously deal with so many peak God Emperor powerhouses?
"It's finally here." While Lei Ao was feeling vexed, the Demon Emperor appeared beside him out of nowhere, similarly staring at the group of experts flying over.
"You knew?" Lei Ao was surprised for a moment, then instantly overjoyed, "Then do you have a way to deal with them?"
"Deal with them?" The Demon Emperor was stunned. He then laughed, "You're mistaken. These people are your helpers. Why do you have to deal with them?"
"My assistant? But I only have enmity with the Divine Veins Family and I don't have any relationship with them. "
It doesn't matter if you have a relationship with them. The important thing is that you have a common enemy. These are the real Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan.
The Demon Emperor explained, "Ever since the Buddhist Sect was destroyed, this Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord sensed a trace of conspiracy. They led their clansmen back to the Demon and Demon Regions and secretly discussed countermeasures with the Patriarchs of the Divine Veins Family."
Since the enemies are hiding in the dark, we can't act rashly. We can only endure and lower our authority, letting the enemies think that we can take advantage of them and swallow the Divine Veins Family one step at a time.
In fact, the Demon and God bloodline families had already made arrangements long before he made his move. They sent their true elites into the Sky Tower to hide.
This was also why every time a disciple of the Divine Veins Family appeared, they mysteriously disappeared. Nangong Zheng had investigated about it before, but he didn't think that it would be the Demon and Demon races who interfered.
It was also because of Nangong Zheng's investigation that the enemy thought that their scheme had been exposed, so they tried to kill him. Fortunately, they did not succeed.
Right now, the real enemy had already moved from the shadows to the light. There was no longer any need for the Divine Bloodline Family to continue hiding their strength. In addition, the enemy had brought out all the people he had under his control.
That meant, other than those people, the rest of the Divine Veins disciples were the true descendants.
In this battle, in order to ensure peace and stability in the future, there would no longer be such shameful traitors. The Demon Emperor made an agreement with the Divine Bloodline Family and decided to endure the pain of annihilating all these people.
No matter what your identity is, and no matter if you have divine veins or not, as long as you stand on the enemy's side, you must eliminate them.
The Buddhist Sect's destruction was the best example. If the traitor did not betray them and if they did not suddenly decide to retreat, the Buddhist Sect would not have embarked on the path of destruction. After all, at that time the Buddhist Sect was the leader of the Divine Veins Aristocratic Families.
And the reason why the enemy destroyed the Buddhist Sect, was also because they couldn't control this powerful sect.
Hearing the Demon Emperor's explanation, Lei Ao suddenly realized something.
The clan was still here, and the real clansmen hadn't betrayed them. They were all preparing for this battle.
The heartless words they had spoken before, the so-called God Realm without their family, were all acts of helplessness.
Who really wants to give up his people? After all, blood was thicker than water.
"If that's the case, then we don't need to do anything." Lei Ao found a place to sit down as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. The fatigue from awakening his Source Energy washed over him, and all he wanted was to get a good night's sleep.
The Demon Emperor replied, "There's really no need for that. The following battle will be extremely intense. After all, these people all have the same blood as you. If you don't want to see it, you can go to the Heavenly Wolf City."
"To the Heavenly Wolf City?" Lei Ao was stunned for a moment. He did not understand why he wanted to go to the Heavenly Wolf City. He remembered that the city was managed by the big wolves.
"Yao, the Saint Children of the Demon and Demon Tribes have actually come out of seclusion long ago. It's just that in order to avoid disturbing the plan, they have never appeared nor contacted you. Right now, they are in Sky Wolf City."
"Niu Meng came out of seclusion?" Lei Ao was overjoyed. He turned around and said to the others, "How is it? Do you want to stay or go to the Heavenly Wolf City?"
Nangong Mengjun hesitated before replying, "Let's go to the Heavenly Wolf City."
At the end of the day, fighting with one's own people wasn't a good feeling. If it could be avoided, then so be it.
"Alright, let's go now." Lei Ao was the first to fly out.
After passing through the battlefield, Bluesea suddenly stopped. He stared down at a figure on the battlefield below and his eyes gradually turned cold.
"What's wrong with Hai Tong?" Huang Xin stopped and asked.
Lan Hai said, "You guys go ahead first. I'll catch up later."
"No need, we'll wait for you. You should be careful, you still can't use the power of the Divine Veins right now."
Lei Ao followed her gaze and knew what she was planning.
The person who was being targeted was Lan Chao. Although he was a puppet, he was the one who had caused all of this. Lei Ao had almost become enemies with the others, and he had even been caught up in a deathtrap.
Perhaps other people could choose not to kill him, but this person had to die.
Especially when he thought about how he had personally betrothed him to his grandson and that his grandson had attempted to humiliate her, Bluesea felt extremely infuriated.
This was the first time since she was born that she was truly angry, and also the first time she hated someone so much.
At this time, Lan Chao was engaged in an intense battle with an elder of the eight great families. Although that elder was at the early Divine Emperor realm, he didn't have a divine vein, so he could only tie with him.
With Heavenly Crystal Sword in hand, Bluesea descended from the sky, radiating killing intent. His beautiful eyes were filled with rage.
Not good, why did I get targeted by her?
Lan Chao cursed inwardly. Earlier, he had killed the grand elder effortlessly, but the situation still left a chill down his spine.
In terms of strength, he was only a Peak Saint Ruler. He could not even compare to the grand elder in ten rounds, yet the grand elder could not even receive a single nine cycles of Blue Sea Pupil.
The most frightening thing was that the purest bloodline in Bluesea could actually summon the Ice Emperor's War Body.
That was the Ice Empress! Lan Chao wasn't very clear on how powerful she was countless years ago, but he knew that the Ice Empress was the founder of the Profound Ice Valley's bloodline.
To swing his sword at the ancestor, not to mention he didn't have the guts, even if he did, he would still need the strength to do so.
The moment Bluesea's pupils appeared, Lan Chao knew that things were not going well. He stealthily moved his feet in an attempt to escape.
"If you think you can escape the pursuit of the Sky Crystal Sword, then just run." Lan Hai looked at him and said coldly.
Lan Chao forced himself to calm down. "Holy maiden, we did have some misunderstandings before, but in the end we're still one family. How can you help outsiders deal with your own people?"
"Shut up, shameless old fox. You stole my sword to kill my friend. When you were plotting my Divine Veins, why didn't you think about your family? "
The mere mention of it made the anger in Bluesea soar. His killing intent increased even further.
"No, this was all the Great Elder's idea. I can't defy him either."
Lan Chao wanted to argue, but Lan Hai didn't want to hear any more of this nonsense. He swiped his Heavenly Crystal Sword at Lan Chao. The eight God Emperor who had fought with Lan Chao earlier had already retreated to the side, looking for another opponent.
While Lan Hai was attacking, Nangong Mengjun and the others weren't idle either.
When they had escaped from the family, it was time for the people who had ordered them to be hunted to pay their debts.
Nangong's death, Liu Yi's death, Zhou Qing's heavy injuries ?
Before he left, he had to make a decision.
The only ones who did not take action were Lei Ao and Huang Xin, Lei Ao was too tired, while Huang Xin left behind the formation. After all, the blue ocean's meridian had not fully recovered, and Zhou Qing and the rest were more or less injured, so it was best for them to be on guard.
In the distance, the second batch of Divine Veins Clan's disciples had already entered the battle. These people all wore the same color uniform, as they wanted to avoid getting confused with others.
And other than these people, Lei Ao also noticed that the third and fourth batch of powerhouses were also participating. They were demon and demon experts.
In this battle, regardless of numbers or strength, Lei Ao's side had the advantage.
In addition to that, there were two Martial Saints holding the fort. If they could lose under such circumstances, then it would truly be the will of the heavens.
"Hey, Lei Ao, what do you think?" Huang Xin suddenly felt that something was wrong on the battlefield.
Hm? Lei Ao looked over to where the guide was pointing and frowned, muttering to himself, "Strange, didn't they say they would be annihilated? How do you capture him alive? "
Huang Xin shook her head: "I don't understand either, maybe it's because I can't bear to kill so many people."
"Impossible, strength has already reached the level of Zhi Zun, and one's personality has already been tempered to a thousand times. When it's time to be ruthless, one must be ruthless, not to mention that the Demon Emperor is the head of a clan. He knows that these people will become a disaster sooner or later, so he wouldn't be merciful at this time."
The Demon Emperor didn't participate in the battle. The Divine Emperors simply didn't have any pressure on him. He was only watching the battle between the old man and the Demon Lord.
Lei Ao thought for a moment, and decided to ask for an explanation. Thus, he left Huang Xin to look after Lan Hai Tong and the rest, and flew up to them.
"Eh, you're still here?" Seeing Lei Ao fly over, the Demon Emperor was slightly stunned.
"They have some private matters to settle, so they'll be leaving soon. Let me ask, why didn't they kill those people?" Lei Ao pointed at the captives below.
"They still have some value, we can't kill them for now." The Demon Emperor said.
"Use value?"
"Right, everyone knows that, right? Actually, they are also part of the Divine Veins Family. "
"What does it have to do with the eight noble families?" Lei Ao was stunned for a moment, and then he snapped out of his daze, "Could it be that you want to ?"
"It's not just me, it's the idea of all the Divine Veins families. When the eight noble clans were forcefully stripped of their divine veins, they didn't have the ability to stop them. Now, it's time to compensate them."
The Demon Emperor's intention was clear. Capture these Divine Veins disciples and then use the Divine Veins Forbidden Technique to help the eight great clans restore their Divine Veins.
Unfortunately, there were only five clans left. The other three clans might have already been annihilated, or they might not want to fight anymore. In short, this war did not happen.
The Divine Veins Family had cleared this batch of blood clots. Although they eliminated the unstable factors, they also lost quite a bit of their strength because of this.
If the eight noble families were able to return at this time, it would only be beneficial to the Divine Veins and the eight great families.
"Since you have already made your decision, I will not interfere. However, even if these people lose their divine veins, their strength will not weaken by much ?"
Lei Ao was interrupted by the Demon Emperor before he could finish his sentence, "Don't worry, This Emperor knows very well that the Buddhist Sect was destroyed because of these people. Let them go ? They can't explain to the dead souls."
"That's good." Lei Ao nodded and flew in Huang Xin's direction.
At this time, the battle between Lan Hai Tong and the rest had ended. They had killed everything that needed to be killed. With the addition of reinforcements, the Underworld Gate gradually retreated from the battle, probably to preserve their strength.
Lei Ao looked down. Lan Chao's body had been frozen into ice, and then smashed into millions of pieces. After the ice and snow melted, there was only puddle of blood left, until not even his bones remained.
This old fellow deserved to be punished for his crimes. This was already a great advantage for him. If Lei Ao were to personally make a move, he would definitely pull out his origin soul and throw it into the lightning pool.
"Let's go, don't make them wait too long."
The group flew towards the exit of the Two Realms Mountain. As Lei Ao's cultivation had decreased by a lot, he was unable to teleport so many people with his star map. As a result, they could only slowly fly and it took them seven days to leave the two Realms Mountain.
Fortunately, there wasn't a lack of transmission arrays in the Divine Realm. After leaving the mountain ranges, the group of people directly teleported to the demon race's territory. The Heavenly Wolf City was right in front of them.
At this time, the battle between the two Realms Mountain should have already ended. It was unknown whether or not the old man had been killed by the Demon Lord.
If he still managed to escape from the encirclement of the Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord, then Lei Ao would have to reevaluate the true strength of his enemies.
Heavenly Wolf City ?
As if he had already known that Lei Ao and the rest were coming, Niu Meng had already prepared a feast in the City Lord's Mansion, and with him were Shi Tianwu, Blood Wolf, and Dark Cloud.
All of the comrades who entered the God Realm together back then, with the exception of Eternal Heaven, were present.
"Niu Meng, long time no see." Lei Ao smiled as he greeted, the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"Yeah, it's been more than thirty years." For some unknown reason, the companion that Niu Meng had been worried about day and night during his closed door cultivation was no longer happy upon seeing him.
Looking at Lei Ao and the rest, she wanted to say something, but hesitated.
"Come, drink." Lei Ao drank a cup of wine and faintly said, "If you don't give up on someone who doesn't have a short lifespan, then he's definitely still alive."
"I also believe that he is still alive." The moment he walked over, he lifted the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.
The feast was unusually dull. It was the first time they had met for more than thirty years, and they had not spoken more than ten sentences. Everyone was drinking until they were all drunk.
No one was able to arouse their thirst for alcohol. At this point in time, none of them wanted to wake up.
Especially Lei Ao. After entering the God Realm, he had either gone into closed door cultivation or been hunted down until after he had not given up on killing others. At this moment, his mind was finally at ease, and he felt extremely stifled.
The next day, the Demon Emperor sent out a message. Due to the reformation of the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan, the various Saint Children needed to return to their respective clans. Lei Ao also wanted to use this time to close up and fight the old man.
The outcome of that battle had already been decided. It was just as the Demon Emperor had said; even if the old man regained his true body, he would still not be a match for the Demon Lord.
After the old man's death, the group of traitors lost their leader. In addition, their strength was far from that of the Demon Emperor's group. Soon, they were utterly defeated. Besides a small portion of loyal followers dying in battle, the rest surrendered.
Needless to say, these captives were like sacrifices as they drew out divine veins to restore the eight noble families' divine veins.
For this matter, the Demon Emperor especially explained to Lei Ao that even if they had been extracted from the Divine Veins, those people would still inevitably die. However, he did not torture them, nor did he destroy them in body and soul.
After the enmity with the Divine Veins Family was resolved, there should be a period of peace in the future.
"What are your plans?" Lei Ao asked Huang Xin, who was beside him. The rest of the people had gone back to their own families, leaving only the two of them with no backers.
"Let's roam around." Huang Xin shrugged and said: "After I came out of seclusion, I haven't had a good look at the God Realm yet."
"There's nothing much to visit. If you feel bored, you can go to the Heavenly Tower. The things inside will definitely be useful to you."
"To be honest, I don't like to cultivate, but I will take a look when I'm free. What about you?" What plans do you have? "
Lei Ao said, "I want to return to the lightning pool. This time, I feel like I'm about to make a breakthrough. Heaven and earth spirit roots can only be found and not sought. I can only borrow the Heavenly God Lightning to help my body."
"And it's strengthened. No wonder they call you a freak." Huang Xin helplessly rolled her eyes and said: "Then when are you planning to leave?"
"Let's do it now. Since I'm going to break through, the faster the better."
"Then I'll send you off." Huang Xin knew that Lei Ao couldn't use his Divine Veins' power yet, so she was afraid that something might happen to him.
After this war, the God Realm had stabilized. The forces of the God Realm that were previously under the control of the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan were also liberated, and the newborn Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan no longer continued to control them.
Not only that, the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan even slowly left the stage of the God Realm, continuing their secluded life.
Demons and Demons also began to evacuate, returning the land they had occupied back to the two great powers.
However, was there only one true enemy in the entire God Realm? That old man couldn't even defeat the Demon Lord, how could he let the entire Buddhist Sect be destroyed?
One had to know that the strength of Dazzling Sun was only stronger than the Demon Lord. Furthermore, there were many experts in the Buddhist Sect at that time.
According to the Demon Emperor, there was only one enemy among the current Divine Emperors, and that was the old man that Demon Lord had killed.
The rest of his people, however, were in another place, restricted in some way from entering the world.
They had been cut off from the God Realm after the annihilation of the Buddhist Sect, and that old man had been hiding in the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan all those years ago. That was why they were able to stay behind.
The true identities of these enemies weren't mentioned by the Demon Emperor, nor was it said where they were from. However, Lei Ao didn't want to know either.
Although he knew that this was his mission, Lei Ao still felt very tired. He just wanted to have a good rest and no longer wanted to care about other matters.
However, if he wanted to be free, someone had to be willing.
At the bottom of the lightning pool was a purple sleeping cave. If one wanted to reach here, they would have to wear the lightning pool. Originally, Lei Ao was the one and only.
But now, he had a guest.
