160. The Person Behind the Scenes
Yunshan stepped forward through the air and said to Ye Guan, "Sect Leader Ye, according to the previous agreement, you should be leaving the territory of my Jia Ma Empire now!"
Ye Guan was clearly still recovering from his defeat. He took out a pill and swallowed it. However, the series of injuries he had just suffered were not easy to heal. Ye Guan coughed violently again after taking the pill, his cough spurting blood.
After coughing subsided, Ye Guan looked at Yun Shan with a hint of pity in his eyes: "Indeed, we lost."
"But!" Ye Guan's tone shifted, "We still need to take over the Jia Ma Empire today!"
"Hmph!" Queen Medusa scoffed. "Humans are all filthy things!"
"You're all in pretty bad shape now, your lives are in danger!" Zi Yan was recovering from her injuries during the fierce battle with Xiao Yan. Although her killing of Xie Biyan seemed dangerous, she was not seriously injured. With her super recovery ability, she has now basically recovered her fighting strength.
Zi Yan hated people like Ye Guan the most, whose subtle yet powerful aura pressed down on her.
Madam Zhu, who was behind Ye Guan, and Yan Luotian also stepped forward. Ye Guan's status in the Five Kingdoms Alliance was indeed extraordinary, and they could not accept that Ye Guan would die here.
"Yaoyan! You are indeed very strong; we are no match for you." Ye Guan said bitterly, "But we paid such a high price, we cannot afford any possibility of failure. Originally, I sincerely wanted to let you go, but now you have no chance!"
Beside Ye Guan, Qin Huan, Madam Zhu, and Yan Luotian also had some anticipation and excitement in their eyes. Although they were all participants in this operation, only Ye Guan and Xie Biyan knew the real trump card!
Although they have given some hints, everyone can only speculate about what exactly it is.
Ye Guan's words show that he is far from giving up and still has a chance!
"I am incompetent, please help me, sir!" Ye Guan bowed to the sedan chair behind him.
Looking at the sedan chair, Xiao Yan thought to himself, "It really has arrived!"
Anyone could see that the palanquin was no ordinary vehicle, but since the fierce battle between Ye Guan and Xiao Yan had attracted almost all the attention on the field, the palanquin, which was the most eye-catching vehicle in the Five Kingdoms Alliance, was overlooked.
Ye Guan and Ye He control the most powerful country among the several regions of the Ruolan Empire, and the revelation of their trump cards further demonstrates that the two brothers' strength far surpasses that of their allies.
No one in the Five Nations Alliance feels they still have a chance to compete with Ye Guan for power and profit.
Even someone as powerful as Ye Guan showed such respect to the powerful figure in the sedan chair. Who exactly was this person? This was a question that lingered in everyone's minds.
If the powerful figures on the Five Nations Alliance were filled with anticipation, then the powerful figures of the Gama Empire experienced several dramatic ups and downs in their emotions.
When they first encountered the combined forces of the five nations, all hope seemed lost. But then Xiao Yan's divine intervention and Zi Yan's slaying of Xie Biyan rekindled their hope.
Ye Guan then challenged to a two-on-one battle, gaining a significant advantage, but ultimately fell short against Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi. It seems he had won the match, but now it appears his opponent had a backup plan!
Judging from the current situation, Ye Guan's real trump card is not even the combined attack strategy of him and Ye He, but the person in the sedan chair.
Looking at the palanquin in the distance, Jia Xingtian sighed, "Could today truly be the day the Jia Ma Empire disappears?"
After today's situation, no matter who controls the Gama Empire, the status of the royal family will plummet.
How much support can a royal family that lacks strength and can only rely on others for help in times of crisis continue to gain within the Gama Empire?
At this moment of great anticipation, the person in the sedan chair from the Five Nations Alliance finally stepped out slowly.
"You can't even handle this small matter, Ye Guan, you brothers are really disappointing!" A somewhat magnetic and melodious voice came from inside the sedan chair.
Looking at the person slowly walking out, it was clear that he was also a Dou Zong powerhouse.
"Is this Ye Guan's trump card?" Xiao Yan asked subconsciously.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man, rather thin, with a pale face, and his movements seemed boneless.
Judging from the faint aura emanating from him, he was definitely a Dou Zong powerhouse who was no weaker than anyone else present.
Xiao Yan glanced around and found that, besides fear, there was more bewilderment in the eyes of both Yun Shan and Queen Medusa.
No one could answer Xiao Yan's question, and this person was someone that many of the powerful figures in the Jia Ma Empire had never seen before.
"Hurry up and greet Steward Wu!" Ye Guan said to the people in the Five Kingdoms Alliance.
Ye Guan's importance in this Five Nations Alliance was still extraordinary. When he spoke, everyone still paid their respects to "Deacon Wu".
However, among the five nations in the alliance, both the many Dou Huangs and the few Dou Zongs at the forefront looked somewhat puzzled.
Although the mysterious man was indeed a Dou Zong, it was clear that there was no insurmountable gap between him and Ye Guan.
Everyone had witnessed the fighting abilities of Ye Guan and Ye He. Although the mysterious man was definitely stronger than either of them, in the eyes of many Dou Zong powerhouses, he was just a collaborator.
Why did Ye Guan act so respectfully?
Deacon Wu casually looked at Medusa and the others and said, "You must be from the Gama Empire. I'll give you one day to allow us to take over."
Queen Medusa raised an eyebrow: "Who do you think you are?"
"Heh." Deacon Wu stood with his hands behind his back and said, "If you're unwilling to comply, then you don't need to exist."
A ball of fighting spirit flew away from Deacon Wu's hand and exploded in mid-air, illuminating the area with dazzling light.
As this battle aura erupted, it wasn't long before the many powerful figures present felt countless auras rushing towards them.
A dark cloud was rapidly approaching the area from mid-air; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a series of flying magical beasts!
The magical beasts all carried heavily armored warriors on their backs, and the warriors on the flying magical beasts were at least at the Battle Spirit level.
Amidst the flying magical beasts, there was a Fighting King flapping his wings!
Seeing the situation, Yunshan's expression changed: "Do you intend to formally declare war on my Jia Ma Empire?"
Deacon Wu toyed with a ring in one hand, and said disdainfully, "I originally intended to take you down without bloodshed, but since you all enjoy struggling so much, then you can all die!"
"Do you really think we don't exist?" Queen Medusa replied coldly.
Ye Guan looked at Deacon Wu and flattered him, saying, "Who do you think you are? Deacon Wu is a deacon from the Heavenly Serpent Palace in the Northwest Region!"
Queen Medusa's expression changed slightly upon hearing the name "Heavenly Serpent Palace," clearly indicating she knew what it meant in the Northwest Region. However, she remained silent: "Does the Northwest Region only have the Heavenly Serpent Palace?"
"I forgot to tell you, the Jia Ma Empire is so isolated that they don't know that the Northwest Region is about to undergo a major change. From now on, the Heavenly Serpent Prefecture will be the only power in the Northwest Region."
Ye Guan watched as the group from Gama revealed a fierce glint in their eyes:
"And the Jia Ma Empire, which opposes the Heavenly Serpent Palace, has only one path: death!"
