"Who are you?" Xiao Shan asked.
The man in black chuckled in disdain, "You don't have the right to know my name."
Xiao Shan and the other four clan leaders exchanged glances and said, "Attack."
The four clans also sensed that the man in black's cultivation base was not ordinary. Therefore, they all used their strongest techniques.
Rays of dazzling light circulated. Fist, palm, sword Qi, all of them shot towards the man in black.
"You think you can stop me? Dream on."
The man in black formed a seal with both of his hands and struck out a Heaven's Might Seal. Instantly, the heaven and earth shook, shattering the palm, fist, and sword Qi attacks.
"His cultivation base has reached the peak of the lesser celestial. Ancestor, please attack." Yang Mu felt the man in black's aura and said in a low voice.
The Yang Clan ancestor's hair was white but he looked very energetic. Facing the man in black, his face was solemn. He took out a white jade cauldron and expanded it in the air. The mouth of the cauldron was facing downwards, trying to suck the man in.
Boom!
The inside of the white jade cauldron seemed to contain a world as a strong suction force exploded. Rays of white light seeped out of the cauldron and turned into the sharpest celestial sword, slashing down from the sky.
"Hehe, you just broke through to the peak of the lesser celestial not long ago. Don't come out to die."
The man in black waved his hand and a stone tablet appeared. On the stone tablet, there were countless spiritual patterns. The patterns were like dragons and phoenixes dancing, Qilin suppressing the sky, Xuanwu stepping on the ocean.
With a bang, the stone tablet flew into the sky and smashed into the white jade cauldron. The white jade cauldron was knocked away and cracks appeared on it.
The Yang Clan ancestor's expression changed. The other three ancestors' expressions changed as well. They immediately attacked.
The Su Clan ancestor took out a spell flag. The moment the flag was unfurled, a yellow storm appeared and turned into a giant that attacked the man in black.
The Mo Clan ancestor took out a blue crystal. The blue crystal spun and shot out rays of blue light, causing the water in the area to be hazy. It was as if an ocean was being guided over.
The Lin Clan ancestor took out a green jade staff. When he waved it, it was as if a pillar was smashing down from the sky.
"A bunch of old clans that can't even withstand a single blow." The black-robed man sneered.
He activated the stele and smashed it down, crushing the yellow giant into pieces. Then, he stretched out his palm and grabbed the blue crystal. His palm expanded to the size of a few acres, flowing with red flames, evaporating the water vapor in the area. The blue crystal was almost caught by him, but the green jade staff smashed down in time, causing wounds to appear on his palm. He had no choice but to withdraw his hand.
"What a strong cultivation base this man has. His True Force is thick and dense. I'm afraid that even if we attack together, we might not be his match." The Old Ancestor of the Yang Family said coldly.
The black-robed man had his hands behind his back. Facing the siege, he appeared calm and collected. He said, "The Jian Clan was merely instigated by me. It doesn't matter if they're destroyed. If the four of you follow me, we'll conquer the old royal city and wreak havoc in the various counties of the Daheng dynasty. I can guarantee that your clans will prosper. If you don't agree, you'll all die today."
"Thief, don't be arrogant. Do you really think you can control the entire situation?" Commander Xiao Shan stood out and shouted.
"Oh."
The black-robed man looked at him and mocked, "A mere lower level lesser celestial dares to talk to me like this? Who has the guts to follow you?"
"Hehe, you should know that this is the old royal city, not the capital of your Daheng dynasty. Without the experts of your Daheng dynasty around, killing you is as easy as killing a chicken."
The black-robed man placed his hands behind his back and looked at the crowd. "I'll give you guys three breaths of time to consider. After three breaths of time, if you don't agree, don't blame me for starting a massacre."
The four clan leaders and Old Ancestor of their clans fell silent, not knowing what to do. Facing such a strong enemy, with their current strength, there was no way they could hurt him. On the contrary, the other party could defeat them one by one.
But if they were to betray the Daheng dynasty and submit to the other party, it wasn't impossible. But if they were to betray the Daheng dynasty, their clans would not be able to establish a foothold in the Daheng dynasty. At that time, it wouldn't be as simple as dying. Their ending wouldn't be any better than the Jian Clan. After all, the Daheng dynasty had just been established, and many clans were looking for opportunities to replace them.
"Three, two, one. Seems like you're planning to die." The black-robed man's face was filled with killing intent. "Since you've chosen to die, I won't be polite."
"Do you really think that the King has no arrangements for the old royal city?" Xiao Shan sneered.
The black-robed man stared at him and said, "Don't scare me. Your Daheng dynasty doesn't have many Lesser Celestial martial artists. Other than some of them who need to stay in the capital, the rest are either in the first army, heading to the Black Xuan County to stop the Blackwater dynasty, or in the second army, guarding the Yumen County.
"I've already done my research. In the old royal city, you're the only low-level Lesser Celestial martial artist among the guards."
At this point, the black-robed man said mockingly, "Are you going to tell me that Ye Xingchen has come to the old royal city?"
"How dare you call the Emperor by his name. You should be executed!" Xiao Shan said.
As he said this, he took out a gourd. The gourd was orange in color, similar to Zhuge Xuan's title gourd, but different.
This was a replica made by Zhuge Xuan based on his own orange gourd. It had some of the abilities of the orange gourd, and could be considered a real spatial weapon.
"Can a gourd kill me?" The black-robed man said.
Weng!
Xiao Shan did not speak and pulled out the stopper of the gourd. Suddenly, a scorching aura flowed out, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly. Many martial artists had to retreat.
Swoosh!
A three-headed monster with three-colored flames flew out of the gourd. It grew rapidly in the air, and soon, it reached a height of three hundred and sixty feet.
In the middle of the three-headed monster was a human head, flowing with golden flames. On the left was a wolf head, flowing with green flames. On the right was a python head, flowing with purple flames.
Although it was a monster, it flowed with a holy aura. That kind of aura was so strong that it could melt anything and slay ghosts and gods.
This three-headed monster was the one that Zhuge Xuan had subdued in the Tri-Winds of Heaven Sun Formation. He controlled it, and in order to prevent the five clans of the old royal city from rebelling, he handed it over to the commander of the old royal city guards, Xiao Shan, to intimidate or suppress the five clans, as well as the other older clans.
"Such a strong aura. Its strength has definitely reached the pinnacle of the Lesser Celestial."
"This kind of flame is so strong that even a Middle Celestial would find it troublesome to come into contact with it."
"I did not expect the Daheng dynasty to be so mysterious, to have such a treasure and monster."
The four clan leaders and their Laozu were discussing in low voices, their faces full of shock.
Compared to them, the black-robed man was even more shocked.
"What kind of monster is this?" The black-robed man exclaimed.
"You don't deserve to know."
Xiao Shan controlled the three-headed monster to spit out three-colored flames, which turned into three flaming rivers, surrounding the black-robed man.
At the same time, the four Laozu looked at each other and blocked the black-robed man's escape route outside the battlefield.
