Yun Xiao had instantly turned the tables on Squidit, grilling him up into cmari in the Supreme Dragon Cauldron.
When the hundreds of millions of onlookers in the Million Starlight Pce witnessed this reversal, they were once again left breathless.
Yun Xiao was a total freak. They had nothing left to say about this monster.
One by one, the top prodigies of the Heavenly Demon Ster River had been trampled underfoot like dog feces. After several such instances, even the audience had be numb!
What was different about this scene, where Yun Xiao grilled the squid, was the varied reactions.
The ordinary cultivators didn''t find anything too unusual, but the stronger and more powerful ones werepletely overwhelmed with shock!
Why was there such a difference? Clearly, it was because ordinary cultivatorscked sufficient understanding of the mysterious Blue Necrosquid demon tribe''s ability to conceal themselves.
The more one understood, the more awe one felt!
And the way Yun Xiao had crushed Squidit in such an exaggerated manner allowed discerning individuals to see that this battle contained a terrifying and sensational issue!From the direction of the Samsara Hall, in the Boundless Chamber opposite Si Ji, the old Blue Necrosquid, alwaysposed, had suddenly stood up!
Even the Mist Empress on him had been thrown to the ground.@@novelbin@@
The Violet Dragon Emperor and Corpse Cloud Emperor instinctively stepped back several paces, as they could deeply feel the horror of this old Blue Necrosquid at that moment!
It was like an enraged blue vortex, staring fixedly at the Supreme Dragon Cauldron on the screen!
The eyes that had just opened started to spin like the samsara, leaking a fierce and vicious color.
His tentacles tensed, wrapping around themselves, making a sharp snapping sound, with each sucker seemingly exhaling a violent killing intent!
The Violet Dragon Emperor, Corpse Cloud Emperor, and Mist Empress had never seen the old Necrosquid disying such an enraged and deranged state.
For a moment, all three had dared not make a sound, asforting him wrongly might spell their own doom!
Clearly, there were other Boundless Immortals within the Samsara Hall, including the Left Emperor of the Heavenly Deity Ster River Dynasty, but they all remained calm, silently watching the unfolding drama without a word.
But their gazes spoke volumes…
Si Ji saw it too! She saw it most clearly. The old Necrosquid''s reaction to the defeat of Squidit was even greater than she had anticipated.
"Yun Xiao seems topletely counter the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe in terms of sword, sigil, and soul," Zu Xinchen suddenly said in a low voice.
"Mhm…" Si Ji hummed softly. Although her attitude seemed cold, anyone could hear the satisfaction in her voice, as well as a sense of pride in her own cherished belongings.
"I wonder if it only counters that individual, or if it has a significant impact on the entire Blue Necrosquid demon tribe?" Zu Xinchen added.
"Why ask so many questions?" Si Ji replied.
"It doesn’t matter if I ask or not, the entire Blue Necrosquid demon tribe will be asking, and I suspect they already have their answers," Zu Xinchen said.
"So?"
"Yun Xiao''s future situation will be extremely dangerous. Both the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe and Dragon Devil n will want him dead. The Dragon Devil n already dwarfs the Harmony Divine Pce in terms of military might by several times.
"The influence of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe also extends beyond the Heavenly Demon Ster River. Even by a conservative estimate, I''d say it''s at least ten times that of the Dragon Devil n, with some rumours saying that their power ranks within the top three of the entire Samsara Gxy…" Zu Xinchen stopped there.
After all, Si Ji was aware of these matters; he was merely reminding her.
Si Ji pursed her lips, her excitement somewhat diminished, and then said, "It doesn''t matter anymore. Some enemies won''t spare us just because we bow our heads."
"..." Zu Xinchen nodded.
Even if Yun Xiao hadn''t killed Squidit, it wouldn''t have affected the Heavenly Demon Ster River''s assistance to the Southern Divine Dragon Realm. Even if the Harmony Divine Pce could ovee the challenge posed by the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe would ensure the Dragon Devil n''s victory, inevitably getting involved sooner orter.
Their power had long been consolidated, and they had already set a trap for the Harmony Divine Pce from which there was no escape.
In such a scenario, the only option left was to fight back desperately. Kneeling and begging for mercy would also end in death, perhaps even more brutally.
"If the Southern Divine Dragon Realm decides to go to war, will the Ancestral Land, Elysian Immortal Pce, and other members of the Heavenly Deity Alliance support the Harmony Divine Pce ording to the alliance''s treaty?" Si Ji turned her head and looked at Zu Xinchen.
Zu Xinchen hadn''t expected her to ask so directly, truly reflecting her limited worldly experience.
But then again, there was a benefit to being straightforward. At least as a man, when Si Ji was direct, it made it awkward for Zu Xinchen to beat around the bush.
So Zu Xinchen replied, "Honestly, it''s difficult. If it were just the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, we might intervene. But the current problem is that the Dragon Devil n have publicly dered their strategic partnership with the Heavenly Demon Ster River, which serves as a warning and deterrence to us.
"Once the Heavenly Deity Ster River enters the fray, our losses would be substantial. The most troublesome part is that the Heavenly Demon Ster River isn''t the endpoint; the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe is spread throughout the Samsara Gxy, and they are more significant than the Heavenly Demon Ster River. If a few more Ster Rivers get involved..."
"From what you’re saying, people like me, Yun Xiao, and Yao Yao are destined to be sacrifices, doomed to a tragic fate, and destined to be abandoned by the Heavenly Deity Ster River, treated as flesh to be cut away," Si Ji said, suppressing her anger.
Zu Xinchen, speechless, shook his head and said, "There’s no way around it. From the <em>exnation</em> incident earlier with the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, the extent of protection the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe provides to the Dragon Devil n exceeds our expectations. They are titans across the Ster Rivers in the Samsara Gxy; you know how powerful they are."
"Have you ever considered this? Are the Dragon Devil n the kind to ever be satisfied? They''re as greedy as the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe! Today, you abandon the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm; in the future, they will inevitably extend their greedy reach elsewhere, gradually devouring you piece by piece, slicing off chunks of the Heavenly Deity Ster River! If you don''t dare to resist, you''ll be consumed until death! That is truly the most tragic oue!
"Don’t say it couldn’t happen. Both the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe and Southern Divine Dragon Realm are newly rising powers. Over the years, this is exactly how they have operated in other Ster Rivers. Though they’ve only manipted things from behind the scenes and propped up puppet powers, their expansionist nature is no different!" Si Ji spoke fervently, her anger slightly rising.
She was reluctant to state these facts, because Zu Xinchen, the Elysian Immortal Pce, and others surely understood them as well.
"Yes, you’re absolutely right," Zu Xinchen looked at Si Ji and paused before continuing, "We''ve never underestimated the greed of the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe and Southern Divine Dragon Realm, nor their determination to swallow the entire Heavenly Deity Ster River.
"However, the problem is that the entire Samsara Gxy is currently in chaos due to the Blue Necrosquid demon tribe. Their expansion is bound to provoke the true g-bearers of the other two major Ster Rivers, the ones actually moving the pieces in the Samsara Gxy. We can appeal to them, we can wait."
Upon hearing this, Si Ji''s pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn’t help but bow her head and sigh, "So, we are just cannon fodder that you can willingly sacrifice in order to buy time."
"That’s not exactly right to say." Zu Xinchen also sighed. "Right now, you are seen as a thorn in their side by your adversaries. Otherspletely fail to see a winning chance, and blindly taking a stance would result in many deaths, and would give the other side aplete excuse and banner to invade the Heavenly Deity Ster River, preventing those two chess yers from intervening... I hope you can understand our position of helplessness."
Si Ji paused for a moment, then nodded, "I can understand."
From the perspective of the Ancestral Land, taking a blind stance in support of the Harmony Divine Pce was indeed highly dangerous.
Currently, the conflict was openly between the Southern Divine Dragon Realm and Harmony Divine Pce, and even if there were thews of the Heavenly Deity Alliance, others were most likely just watching.
"But..." Zu Xinchen suddenly continued.
