Chapter 1236: Flames at the King’s Tent

Beneath the snow-capped peaks, at sunset,
the Turkic camp was ablaze with campfires.
Near the large, extravagant king’s tent, rows of Turkic royal guards surrounded the area tightly, swords drawn and bows strung, as if facing a formidable enemy!
“What’s going on outside?”
Inside the tent, a stern voice, laced with irritation and anger, rang out: “A bunch of foreigners dare to attack my tent and my army’s camp!”
“That’s too much! Absolutely too much!!!”
After a burst of roaring, the sound of shattered porcelain came from inside the tent.
Inside the tent,
the luxuriously dressed Turkic king paced back and forth on the lavish white blankets. His face was red with anger, his gaze dark, and his aura filled with murderous intent.
“They’re targeting me.”
At that moment, from atop the tent, on a huge cushioned seat, a dignified man spoke in an authoritative tone: “This has nothing to do with the king… Bring me 100,000 troops immediately to escort the king back to the capital. The rest of you, defend us against this enemy!”
“No! My master is in danger! How can I leave?”
Though the Turkic king was the ruler of his people, in front of the martial master Bi Xuan, he referred to himself as a disciple. Hearing this, his eyes turned red with urgency: “I want to see just who this mysterious figure is, daring to disregard my Turkic army so much!”
“Does my word no longer hold any weight?”
Bi Xuan closed his eyes slightly, his tone becoming much stricter.
As soon as he spoke, many skilled warriors inside the tent trembled and stood up at once:
“Your Majesty!”
Most of the people in the tent obeyed Bi Xuan’s orders more than the king’s. Seeing him angry, they dared not delay and immediately carried out his command: “It’s better if you go back. We’ll take care of things here.”
“Master!”
Although the Turkic king wanted to stay, under Bi Xuan’s insistence, he was eventually escorted out of the tent by a group of mythic-level warriors.
Outside the tent, the royal guards quickly protected the Turkic king and escorted him away…
A winding trail of fire dragons swiftly moved through the camp, heading westward at high speed!
Not far from the tent, the Turkic camp was in chaos. Waves of brave Turkic soldiers charged fearlessly at the elusive experts from the Wolf Pack, fighting fiercely.
“Boss, there aren’t many guards around the Turkic king. I think we have a good chance of capturing him as well…”
One of the groups, consisting of over thirty top experts, advanced steadily, with someone behind them suggesting they target the tent.
“That’s right. The Turkic king isn’t just an ordinary martial artist. As the ruler of his people, killing him could be as rewarding as defeating the martial master…”

“Don’t create unnecessary complications.”
The Evil Emperor hovered in the air, casting a brief glance in the direction the Turkic king had left. Unimpressed, he said, “The Turkic king is the ruler of a nation. The system won’t just let him fall into our hands. Don’t be greedy and end up drawing unnecessary trouble.”
“Oh.”
“Then let him go.”
All the experts of the Wild Wolf Organization felt regret.
But the Evil Emperor didn’t feel he had lost anything at all.
The Turkic king wasn’t strong, but his royal guard included three peak Mythical Realm warriors…
Each of them was no easy opponent!
Although the Evil Emperor wasn’t afraid, if those three formed a formation or some unexpected situation arose, affecting the main mission, it would be a loss.
The Evil Emperor was now focused solely on finding the crucible to complete the final step of mastering the “Dao Heart Demon Sowing Art” and gaining the power of the Heavenly Dao. How could he allow anything uncontrollable to happen?
The Turkic king’s departure actually made the task easier…
The Evil Emperor was optimistic.
……
A group of people approached the royal tent. The Evil Emperor stood high in the air, his majestic and imposing presence making everyone nearby feel tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.
“Wu Zun Bi Xuan!”
“Come out!”
“Who are you, scoundrel? Daring to disturb my master’s rest!” Several people stepped out from inside the tent.
Before they could finish speaking, a pure mental pressure surged toward them;
Pfft!
All three groaned and spat blood, their faces pale as they bent over, eyes filled with terror.
Even these mighty Mythical Realm experts couldn’t withstand the Evil Emperor’s mental assault.
Just as the pressure on the side of the tent reached its peak, a dignified and familiar voice resounded across the land:
“I wondered who it was… It turns out to be someone from the Demon Sect…”
Wu Zun Bi Xuan stepped out, seemingly fully recovered from the injuries he suffered in the Desert Palace!
“Wu Zun Bi Xuan, renowned throughout the world and dominating the grasslands, shouldn’t have come to disturb you. Unfortunately, the ‘Dao Heart Demon Sowing Art’ I practice requires a crucible provided by a Heavenly Dao expert. I’ve come here to ask you to help me achieve this.” The Evil Emperor spoke respectfully, yet his domineering and arrogant attitude clashed with his words.
“I have 300,000 elite soldiers from the Turkic grasslands. It won’t be easy for you to get my head,” Wu Zun Bi Xuan said. Knowing what a crucible for the “Dao Heart Demon Sowing Art” was, he clearly sensed the murderous intent in the Evil Emperor’s words, but he still refused to yield to his domineering attitude.
As soon as he finished speaking…
War drums beat…
Deep horn sounds resounded across the entire grassland.
The earth trembled!!
Shouts from countless Turkic warriors echoed in all directions, creating an overwhelming momentum.

In an instant!
The Evil Emperor and his men seemed to be trapped in a desperate situation.
Yet their expressions remained unchanged.
The troops swarming from afar failed to get close; the roars and shouts from all directions quickly turned into chaotic cries and sounds of battle…
Wu Zun Bi Xuan and the guards near the royal tent all paled.
The troops had been blocked!
It was only natural.
This time, to deal with the Turkic army, the Evil Emperor had dispatched all 2,000 elite members of his Wild Wolves organization, leaving only 100 by his side.
Those men infiltrated the camp from different directions to disrupt it as a whole; later, they gathered near the royal tent to resist the pressure from troops coming from all sides.
In the blink of an eye, the 100 men around the Evil Emperor took care of Wu Zun Bi Xuan’s Mythical Realm guards one by one…
Above the royal tent, the Evil Emperor and Wu Zun stood face to face!
A terrifying aura built up in the space around them—growing stronger and stronger!!
…
The arena battle was in full swing.
Out of the hundred top fighters, only eight remained!
After Xiao Yue stood out among the first batch of top fighters and obtained a token, and with the token back in place, the Four Exquisite Sword Formation led by the Silver Fox killed dozens of enemies; then, with Xuanfeng Xiao Li showing great prowess and eliminating the ordinary top fighters, the battle had reached its most intense phase.
Now, only ten people remained on the tower…
But two of them already had elimination tokens pressed against them.
The two were firmly controlled by Xuanfeng Xiao Li, whose cultivation level kept dropping. Soon, they fell below the Life and Death Realm. Their faces were pale, and they had no chance to resist—once their internal energy ran out, death would follow…
As for Xuanfeng Xiao Li,
he sent the remaining five opponents flying with a single move. His internal energy was abundant, and by leveraging the strength of those two top fighters, he broke through to the Mythical Realm in one go, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure and tension.
In the corners, people like Daozi showed wary expressions:
“Big Brother Silver Fox!”
“This kid’s next target must be us! We must not let him absorb too much internal energy!”
“That’s right! Let’s act!”
Encouraged by their three brothers, the Silver Fox’s gaze turned cold:
“Attack!”
Four waves of sword intent surged upward, like terrifying waves, aimed at Xuanfeng Xiao Li, who was still absorbing internal energy.
Feeling the sword light approaching from behind and the intense sense of danger, Xuanfeng Xiao Li resolutely pushed away his prey and clenched his hands in mid-air.
“Go!”
Whoosh!!
Four lightning-fast sword auras rushed back at even greater speed…
It was again “Stars in Motion”!

Although the Four Silver Foxes temporarily possessed the attacking power of the Mythical Realm, they were still unable to fully control or reach that realm in other aspects; they simply didn’t have time to defend against the sweeping sword energy…
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
The four of them were violently flung out of the tower by their own attacks…
The Four Silver Foxes regretfully lost their qualification!
…
Xuanfeng Xiao Li’s strength attracted the attention and heightened vigilance of the other three top experts at the top of the tower…
Dozens of top experts were easily sent flying by Xuanfeng Xiao Li; the Four Silver Foxes were also sent flying!
Xuanfeng Xiao Li’s internal energy cultivation had reached the Mythical Realm…
All of this deeply stimulated Mo Feng, Orochimaru, and the Shaolin disciple.
The three of them stopped without prior agreement.
“It’s your turn.”
With his internal energy full, Xuanfeng Xiao Li turned to Mo Feng and the other two with a fierce grin…
“All of you at once?”
Orochimaru and the Shaolin disciple had been fighting for a long time, with no clear winner, which also made Mo Feng realize how difficult it was to determine a winner temporarily.
The three of them nodded in unison.
“It’s best if we all go at once! To avoid wasting time.”
Although Xuanfeng Xiao Li spoke arrogantly, this time he was unusually focused and cautious, preparing to face them intently.
Both Orochimaru and Mo Feng were extremely powerful. Even with the two unparalleled martial arts, “Star Shift” and “Star Siphon Technique,” it would be very difficult to defeat them together, not to mention the Shaolin disciple whose strength was unknown…
On the tower, the four top experts faced off against each other!
“A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be broken by the wind… Xuanfeng Xiao Li’s unparalleled martial arts system is well-coordinated and excellent, but it’s a pity… he doesn’t know how to endure.”
On the judging platform, Shadow couldn’t help but exclaim, “By showing off too much, he’s drawn the attack of the three top experts. It’s too hard to win now…”
“That’s right.”
“Mo Feng has dealt with many top experts in the martial world over the past two years and has even fought secretly against Bloodclothes, so he deeply understands the intricacies of ‘Star Shift’ and ‘Star Siphon Technique.’ Orochimaru is full of tricks and isn’t easy to deal with either… Aside from that Shaolin disciple, who is weaker because he deliberately hides his strength and is more likely to get into trouble, Xuanfeng Xiao Li’s tactics won’t work against them!”
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement.
This time, even Ji Feng couldn’t help but nod secretly!
Xuanfeng Xiao Li had grown rapidly and was quite lucky; his strength was indeed remarkable. If only he knew how to endure, today’s situation would be different.
However…
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, he noticed a faint smile on Happy’s lips.
“It seems Master Happy has a different opinion. Does he think Xuanfeng Xiao Li still has a chance of winning?”
“Perhaps.”

Xing Kai did not avoid Lin Xiao’s question. After a pause, he said, “If this kid would use his brain a little, he would surely be the first place in this competition.”
Miyi and Lin Xiao were shocked!
