A luxurious palace located in the north of Ten Thousand Souls City.
Most of the buildings in the City of Ten Thousand Souls are relatively low, because the materials to build the City of Ten Thousand Souls are very rare. Being able to build the City of Ten Thousand Souls like this is already very rare.
But the palace in front of me looks particularly majestic. Not only is it much taller than most buildings in the city, but every floor of the building has been carefully crafted, making it look quite noble and luxurious.
Outside the palace, several masters of the Dragon God Clan stood with their heads held high, guarding the palace.
This is the temporary station of the Dragon God Clan in Ten Thousand Souls City.
Only a powerful force like the Dragon God Clan can enjoy the services of a separate palace. Otherwise, no matter how many secret crystals you have, you will not be able to live here.
This special status gives everyone who comes in and out of this palace a look of pride on their faces.
Palace interior.
Ao Teng and Hua were helpless. They were sitting in a hall at the moment. In front of them, there were several seats. Most of the people sitting in these seats were young and strong men.
A small banquet is being held here, and the protagonists of the banquet are of course these young heroes.
Beside Ao Teng, there sat a young man wearing pure white Confucian clothes. He wore a jade hairpin on his head and tied up his hair. His aura was gentle and elegant, giving people a sense of warmth.
At this moment, with a smile on his face, he glanced around and said slowly: "Brother Ao Teng, you might as well tell us what your intention is in inviting us here this time."
"That's right, Ao Teng, we have been here for a while, and the Dark God Clan's festival is about to begin. We don't have time to waste with you." On the other side, a sturdy man with a thick build and extremely tough body said,
He snorted this coldly.
Whether it was the man in Confucian attire at the beginning or the muscular man after that, the two of them spoke with no politeness at all, and seemed not to take Ao Teng to heart at all.
Although Ao Teng's eyes revealed a bit of dissatisfaction with this, he didn't take it too seriously in his heart. The status of these two people was equally noble, not much worse than him.
That man in Confucian uniform was none other than Shangguan Hao, the young sect leader of Tianluo Sect, one of the three sects in Anhua Continent, and this stout man was Xi Ying, the strongest genius in Amaterasu Valley, one of the eight valleys.
The power of the three sects in Anhua Continent is not much worse than that of the three major divine clans. As the young master of Tianluo Sect, Shangguan Hao's identity and status are by no means worse than Ao Teng.
As for Xi Ying, although the strength of Bagu in Anhua Continent is slightly weaker than that of the three major gods, the gap between the two is not too obvious.
Therefore, Xi Ying was also rude when facing Ao Teng.
Ao Teng chuckled and said slowly: "Don't worry, everyone. There is still an honored guest who has not arrived. When everyone arrives, all the mysteries will be solved naturally."
"Who else wants us to wait for him together?" Xi Ying was very dissatisfied and snorted coldly.
The few people who appear here now are all from well-known families, and there are indeed not many people who can make them wait.
However, before Xi Ying's voice fell, a tall figure stepped in at the entrance of the hall.
This man's appearance has not yet been fully revealed. A calm voice came from his mouth, and he said coldly: "Xi Ying, if you are not willing to wait, you can leave directly."
"It's you!"
Hearing this voice, Xi Ying's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a smile appeared on his face: "It turns out to be Mr. Ming. If I am waiting for you, it doesn't matter."
While speaking, the figure had already entered the hall, turned around, and sat down directly next to Ao Teng.
This tall figure is also a young man.
But his appearance is very ordinary, even ugly. He has a long face, which is unusually long, and the hair on his head is also sparse. If compared with Ao Teng and others, the gap is huge.
However, when facing this ugly man, Ao Teng and others all looked solemn.
The reason is very simple. This ugly man's name is Xiao Ming, and he comes from the Dark God Clan.
In the True Spirit Continent, the nine major divine clans, and now the Dark God Clan, can be said to be the only ones who dominate, and no force dares to offend them.
The three sects and eight valleys in the Anhua Continent are all powerful, but compared to the Dark God Clan, they are nothing.
Seeing Xiao Ming's arrival, Shangguan Hao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Ao Teng, now that Mr. Ming has arrived, you should finally tell us your purpose of inviting us here."
"This is natural." Ao Teng nodded, stood up slowly, and said solemnly: "Everyone, I invite you here for the upcoming sacrifice of the Dark God Clan."
"Dark God Clan Festival?"
Upon hearing these four words, the expressions of the young heroes around him suddenly became solemn.
Regardless of their origins, the Dark God Clan's sacrifice is their most important thing at the moment.
Ao Teng scanned the circle for a week, and the changes in the expressions on everyone's faces made him extremely satisfied. He continued: "I just feel that it is a bit inappropriate for us, who have high status, to compete with those lowly people for the resources of the Dark God Clan Festival.
.”
Shangguan Hao smiled slightly, a folding fan appeared in his hand, and said slowly: "All the rules for the Dark God Clan's sacrifice are specified by the Dark God Clan. Could it be that, Ao Teng, you are planning to break these rules?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ming's eyes became a little stern and he turned to look at Ao Teng.
Breaking the rules specified by the Dark God Clan is tantamount to offending the Dark God Clan, and the Dark God Clan will never agree to this.
"of course not!"
Ao Teng's face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "No one dares to break the rules of the Dark God Clan's sacrifice. However, even if we abide by the rules, we still have many things we can do. For example, we can work together to get rid of those despicable people...
…”
"Join forces?" After hearing Ao Teng's words, Xiao Ming showed a look of interest on his face.
In the past Dark God Clan Festival, major forces have never joined forces. However, this is not because they do not want to join forces, but because they do not need to join forces.
Although the Dark God Clan Festival brings together young talents from the True Spirit Continent, the top experts still belong to the major forces.
Under such circumstances, there is absolutely no need for the major forces to join forces with each other.
What's more, even if they join forces, they will not trust each other. Once there is a conflict of interests, this alliance will immediately fall apart. By then, it will undoubtedly become a joke.
Everyone present knew this truth, so at this moment, when they heard Ao Teng's suggestion of joining forces, they all looked at Ao Teng, wanting to see what new tricks Ao Teng could come up with.
Ao Teng cleared his throat, and then said: "Everyone, we are joining forces, not in the way everyone understands, but we are joining forces first to wipe out those despicable people, and then everything will be done according to the sacrifices of the Dark God Clan.
According to the regulations, all the opportunities for the Dark God Clan’s sacrifice will belong to us.”
"That's a good idea." Xi Ying was the first to shout.
Shangguan Hao pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "In that case, let's make an agreement that within three days after the Dark God Clan's sacrifice begins, we can't attack each other. After three days, we can all rely on our own abilities."
According to Shangguan Hao's proposal, within three days, even if they, the descendants of the major forces, encountered each other, they would never fight, and they could even join forces to kill others.
In this way, their damage will naturally be minimized, and most of the opportunities for the Dark God Clan's sacrifice will fall into their hands.
