The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

“Queen, this time… thank you.” A ruler who had previously caused trouble for Ji Fengyan now felt immensely grateful to her.

Ji Fengyan had hidden them in the capital city for half a month. She had waited for ten days after Xing Hun and company left before leading them out of the city. All the way until the moment they exited the city, the rulers did not dare to believe they would actually make it out alive.

“It is too early to thank me. If I am not wrong, the military forces of your kingdoms would have already arrived at the borders of Sa Er over a week ago. That was why Xing Hun and Long Yue had left the capital city—it was to meet your troops.” Ji Fengyan continued scanning the horizon as she spoke, as if searching for something.

The hearts of the rulers all sank at Ji Fengyan’s statement.

They were alive, but things were far from being resolved.

“Queen, you had us send news back to our kingdoms to inform of the Divine Temple’s plans, but also allowed for the various military troops to come to Sa Er’s borders. Is that alright?” One ruler asked.

Ji Fengyan had previously let them provide the written orders requested by Xing Hun, to have their kingdoms deploy the troops. But she also had them writing another letter revealing the truth, promising that she would ensure the letters of truth would arrive at their countries first. Everyone believed that Ji Fengyan could carry out that task.

However… they did not understand why the various military forces had still gathered.

“Do you wish to hide forever? If we do not deal with the Divine Temple now, even if you escape to your own kingdoms, the Divine Temple would still have ways to assassinate you.” Ji Fengyan raised her brows.

Those rulers were speechless at Ji Fengyan’s words. They knew she spoke the truth. They had regarded the Divine Temple too highly in the past, and as a result, no one was the least bit guarded against them. The rulers themselves did not know how many spies the Divine Temple had in their own countries.

“The Divine Temple wants to wipe out both the humans and demons all at once. We really have no other choice but to take this opportunity to retaliate.” Ji Fengyan grinned.

But the rulers were not so optimistic.

“But even if we don’t want to fight them, the demons would probably still attack us? The dark guard received news that the Divine Temple was prepared to use the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed as bait to trigger a war between the two races? The demons would never let that matter go.” The face of one of the rulers was full of frustration and anguish.

Ji Fengyan smiled and was just about to say something when a tiny black dot appeared on the horizon.

That black dot immediately attracted Ji Fengyan’s attention. Her smile deepened.

“Who said the demons would never let the matter go?”

Before the rulers could understand Ji Fengyan’s meaning, a strong tunnel of wind blew at them. A massive black shadow suddenly appeared over their heads, and everyone instinctively looked up. They instantly noticed a huge ancient dragon gradually descending from high up in the sky towards them.

“Ancient dragon!!”

“We are doomed! It must be the Divine Temple! They have found us!” Color drained from the faces of the rulers. They could hardly believe that a mythical ancient dragon would actually appear right before their eyes. Only an ancient race such as the Heavenly Fiend Clan could summon such a terrifying ancient creature!

At that instant, all their hopes turned to ashes.
