Chapter 0612: The Battle Is Imminent
Seeing Huang Long still laughing carefreely, completely unfazed by the arrival of Leo, Opot, and Hibere, Rivia couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger.
Ever since she learned that Leo and the others were coming, Rivia had been extremely anxious, but Huang Long remained leisurely arranging those useless restriction arrays. Now that he had finally stopped, he continued to laugh as if nothing had happened.
Although Huang Long had the Group of Immortals Pavilion to escape to, this situation was different from before—he couldn’t just abandon Silver Fox Mountain, which held the fruits of her countless years of effort.
Just as Rivia was about to remind Huang Long, he said, “Let’s go down.” With that, he flew toward Silver Fox Palace. “This array is finally set up successfully. Let’s celebrate.”
Celebrate?!
Hearing that Huang Long still wanted to celebrate at this moment, Rivia finally lost her temper and said, “Haven’t you heard that Leo, Opot, Hibere, and the elders from Phoenix Golden Mountain and Thunder Roc Mountain are coming?!”
Huang Long turned to look at the enraged Rivia and shook his head inwardly.
However, Rivia’s enraged appearance was also quite tempting—her chest heaved, her prominent breasts seemed about to burst through her clothes, and the deep cleavage at her neckline was incredibly striking.
Seeing that Huang Long hadn’t spoken and noticing the strange look in his eyes, Rivia looked down and realized her own state. She felt slightly shy. Under normal circumstances, she would have teased Huang Long, but right now, she had no mood for jokes.
Huang Long remained calm and said, “I know.”
“You know?!” Rivia exclaimed. “This time, I won’t leave. Silver Fox Mountain is my life!”
Huang Long was stunned, then shook his head again. So Rivia thought he would leave? If he had such intentions, he wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to set up nearly a thousand arrays on Silver Fox Mountain.
“When did I say I’d leave?” Huang Long asked with a smile, then flew down to Silver Fox Palace.
Rivia was stunned for a moment before following him down.
Inside Silver Fox Palace, the elders of Silver Fox Mountain and people from the Mor Mountain Range, including Jerom, were gathered. A gloomy atmosphere filled the hall.
Upon seeing Huang Long and Rivia, everyone quickly bowed, easing the gloom slightly. But after a short while, the atmosphere became gloomy again.
The people of Silver Fox Mountain were deeply troubled. The return of the Divine Kings Leo, Opot, and Hibere, working together once more, had plunged Silver Fox Mountain into an unprecedented crisis.
If it weren’t for what happened at the Group of Immortals Pavilion earlier, when Livya talked to Yuna and the others about the World Tree and the Yellow Dragon, as well as the fact that whoever possesses the World Tree will become the ruler of the world, Yuna and the other high-ranking members of Silver Fox Mountain would surely advise Goddess-Queen Livya to cut ties with the Yellow Dragon. After all, with the survival of Silver Fox Mountain at stake, Yuna and the others had the right to ask Goddess-Queen Livya to do so. But now, Yuna and the others naturally dare not make such a request. Below the grand hall, only Jerom remained calm. He had blind confidence in his master’s skill in forming arrays. Back then, he had been trapped by the Yellow Dragon’s array; after being subjected to fierce attacks and experiencing the terrifying effects of that array, he finally surrendered and became the Yellow Dragon’s mount. Although tens of thousands of years had passed, every time he recalled those events, he still trembled with fear. So even if the three Divine Kings Leo arrived, Jerom, just like his master, remained unfazed. “I hope those guys can pray for their own luck!” Standing below the grand hall, Jerom even felt pity for the people of Phoenix Golden Mountain and Thunder Roc Mountain. He could already imagine the tragic situation of those elders trapped in the array set up by their master. Divine Kings Leo, Opot, and Hibere might be able to break through the array and escape, but it was uncertain whether the elders of Phoenix Golden Mountain and Thunder Roc Mountain could. Thinking about the chance to thoroughly torment those “brats” from Phoenix Golden Mountain and Thunder Roc Mountain, Jerom couldn’t help but let out a lecherous laugh—his expression as vile as it got. Suddenly, a voice rang out! Everyone in the grand hall turned to look at Jerom, stunned. Livya was also surprised, then rolled her eyes at the Yellow Dragon—true master, true mount. The Yellow Dragon couldn’t help but smile bitterly. What did this have to do with him? Sensing the piercing gazes of everyone in the hall, Jerom returned to reality from his fantasies. Seeing everyone’s stunned expressions, even Jerom, with his thick skin, couldn’t help but blush further. Looking up, he saw his master’s intimidating gaze and was startled. He lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong. “How many of those clan ancestors who rely on Silver Fox Mountain’s power have come to Silver Fox Mountain?” After glancing at Jerom, the Yellow Dragon turned to Livya and asked. Upon learning that the three Divine Kings Leo had arrived, Livya had already gathered those clan ancestors who relied on Silver Fox Mountain’s power, namely the supreme divine warriors. If all of them came to offer assistance, it would still be somewhat useful.
“Only three people came!” Upon hearing Huang Long’s question, Livia’s expression turned awkward and depressed.
Out of the thirteen patriarchs of the super-large families affiliated with Silver Fox Mountain, only three had shown up—quite ironic, as most of these super-large families had chosen to distance themselves from Silver Fox Mountain at this critical moment concerning their survival.
Huang Long nodded. Three people coming was within his expectations.
As he knew, although these super-large families were affiliated with Silver Fox Mountain, it was merely a hierarchical relationship; they were not truly under its control.
Of course, whether one person came or none at all didn’t matter to Huang Long. He had just asked casually.
However, when Livia mentioned the three names, Huang Long was surprised—unexpectingly, he encountered “acquaintances.”
Tewdros, the patriarch of the Raymond family!
The sixth Mysterious Yellow River Map in Huang Long’s possession was obtained from Tewdros, the patriarch of the Raymond family, using a Sacred King’s treasure. Back then, Theodor, the patriarch of the Knightson family, grew greedy and was killed by Huang Long.
After saying that, Livia hesitated.
Huang Long smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Even if Leo and the others show up, if we can’t defeat them, we can always run away!”
Seeing that Huang Long was still in the mood to joke, Livia was at a loss, forcing herself to smile.
“Master!” At that moment, Jerome’s voice rang out.
Huang Long turned and asked, “What is it?”
“Those bastards from Phoenix Golden Mountain and Thunder Eagle Mountain dare to attack us! We should take advantage of their unpreparedness and give them a good beating!” Jerome said angrily, spitting words wildly.
Huang Long nodded with a smile. His original plan was to deal a heavy blow to Phoenix Golden Mountain, Thunder Eagle Mountain, and Heavenly Dragon Mountain first, and then strike those three mountains hard again.
This ruffian dragon seemed to share his thoughts.
Seeing Huang Long’s approval, Jerome became even more excited and expressed his deeper thoughts, whose words gradually became unbearable to hear.
Huang Long’s forehead furrowed.
Livia and the others from Silver Fox Mountain were utterly stunned.
“Are you done?” Huang Long frowned and pulled the still-talkative Jerome back to reality.
“Ahem, Master, I’m done!” Jerome looked embarrassed and dared not speak again.
Huang Long looked at Livia and smiled apologetically.
Livia felt helpless. If it were up to her, Jerome, with his vulgar words, would already be dead, and that thing beneath him would likely have separated from his body long ago.
Seeming to sense Livia’s thoughts, Jerome instinctively clenched his legs together.
Livia sensed Jerome’s scheming and felt both angry and amused. She shook her head and glared at him, saying, “Our top priority now isn’t attacking the three forces at Phoenix Golden Mountain!” In essence, it was equivalent to telling Huang Long that they couldn’t even protect themselves, and attacking those three forces was nothing but delusion.
Jerome opened his mouth to speak but, seeing Livia’s icy gaze, was too scared to continue.
Huang Long, however, smiled and said, “I know that.”
“What should we do next?” Livia pondered.
“Don’t worry. I have a plan. There’s no need to be anxious,” Huang Long said with a smile.
Seeing Huang Long’s confident demeanor, Livia frowned. “You have a plan?”
Huang Long turned to her. “Do I look like I’m joking?”
Livia remained silent for a long time before finally nodding in resignation, believing Huang Long. She sighed inwardly—though she wasn’t sure if he really had a plan, she had no other options at the moment. Besides, Huang Long wasn’t the kind to talk nonsense, especially at such a critical time.
From then on, Silver Fox Mountain could only prepare itself, ready to fight against Leo’s forces at any moment.
Huang Long set up nearly a thousand formations, which consumed a great deal of his magical energy. So he returned to the palace to swallow immortal pills and use the “Water and Fire Dual Dragon Technique” to restore his energy.
It took two days before Huang Long emerged from the palace.
“Master!” Outside the palace, Jerome rushed over as soon as he saw Huang Long appear.
“What’s the situation now?!” Huang Long asked.
“That old bird Leo has already reached the Kori Plains!” Jerome replied respectfully, shedding his casual tone and showing a hint of seriousness and excitement.
At Leo’s speed, it would only take two or three hours to reach Silver Fox Mountain from the Kori Plains.
“Oh, so fast!” Huang Long wasn’t expecting them to arrive sooner than he thought. It seemed they were desperate to kill him. A cold smile appeared on Huang Long’s face.
Huang Long stepped out of the palace and joined Jerome above Silver Fox Hall. He saw groups of guards flying overhead from Silver Fox Mountain.
With Leo’s forces approaching, tension, panic, and unease filled every corner of Silver Fox Mountain.
“Are they finally coming?” Huang Long stood high in the sky, calm, gazing into the distance. In the distance he was looking at, above the Kori Plains, Leo’s forces were marching steadily toward Silver Fox Mountain.
“Hehe, in just two more hours, we’ll be at Silver Fox Mountain,” Leo said, his eyes gleaming with cold intent.
