Bei Xuan didn't run. He stayed in North King City. He was recovering and adapting to his new body. He was preparing for the upcoming battle.
That's right!
He was preparing for a huge battle. He was prepared to kill all the experts from the East Region that came to attack.
He had this ambition and confidence because … he had a strong feeling that the King of the East Region was already dead.
This feeling didn't come out of nowhere. It was a judgment he made based on various situations.
When the King of the East Region and Kun Mo fought, he was at the side and had been paying attention. He had to pay attention because he was afraid that the King of the East Region would suddenly attack him.
According to his judgment, although the King of the East Region and Kun Mo were suppressed by the Demon-Killing Array, their battle strength was basically equal.
After fighting for so long, both sides couldn't do anything to each other. They only injured each other and couldn't cause any fatal injuries. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought for so long.
After fighting for more than a day, the King of the East lost an arm, Kun Mo was cut a few times, and the King of the East was more seriously injured.
Then, there was the last blade. The Demon-Killing Array seemed to be unable to withstand it.
So, Kun Mo found an opportunity to break the array.
This opportunity was actually given by the King of the East Region on purpose. At that moment, the King of the East Region cleaved with that blade. That blade's power was obviously several times stronger than before. It was even more than ten times stronger.
The King of the East Region killed Kun Mo with one blade. This was too illogical.
If the King of the East Region could release this blade earlier, why would he wait for so long? Wouldn't it be better to kill him in one move?
If he found an opportunity to release this blade at the start of the battle, none of them would be able to escape. All of them would die.
As for creating an opportunity, it was actually very simple. There were twenty Perfected Martial Monarchs in the East Region. If they risked their lives, they could easily create an opportunity.
When he released that blade, Bei Xuan felt that something was wrong with the King of the East Region's body. At that moment, he felt that the King of the East Region's aura suddenly disappeared. It was as if everything in the body had been sucked out.
Also, when he released the Heaven Swallowing divine skill, Bei Xuan was shocked. After careful observation, he felt that it was slightly weaker than the legends.
At that time, his soul spirit left his body. If the King of the East Region was in his normal state, he believed that his soul spirit wouldn't be able to escape either.
Bei Xuan didn't think that his battle prowess was too strong, even weaker than the King of the Origin Realm. Back then, even the King of the Origin Realm couldn't escape, so how could he?
Even if he could escape, if the King of the Eastern Region chased after him, where could he run to in his soul form?
But the King of the Eastern Region didn't chase after him.
This was not in line with the King of the East's personality!
The King of the Eastern Region was a vengeful person, not to mention the fact that he had killed two realm kings in one battle. This record was unprecedented, and even if the King of the Eastern Region was heavily injured, he would still fight.
In the end, he didn't chase after him, which meant that it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to catch him.
In addition, there were many suspicious points. For example, they had a very high-level spy in the East King's Mansion. He reported back that he had not seen the King of the East return.
There was also the announcement from the Eastern Region. This made Bei Xuan feel that this was not the style of the King of the Eastern Region.
If it was the King of the Eastern Region, he wouldn't have issued such a notice. Instead, he would have gone straight to the door.
Even if he wanted an explanation from the King of the Western Region and the King of the Southern Region, he would have gone to the West King City and the South King City and demanded an explanation from the two realm kings. It wasn't like he hadn't done such a thing before.
Therefore, Bei Xuan suspected that the King of the Eastern Region was already dead. In order to kill Kun Mo, he had used up his remaining lifespan, or he was so heavily injured that he couldn't hold on any longer.
Speaking of this, there was another suspicious point. If the King of the Eastern Region wasn't dead, then he would definitely be recuperating outside. This kind of injury would probably take at least a year and a half to recover, so he wouldn't be back so soon.
All these suspicious points made Bei Xuan 70% sure that the King of the Eastern Region was already dead.
Therefore, he issued the notice and took the initiative to challenge Bei Xuan to prove whether the King of the Eastern Region was dead or not.
After he received the news that the Great Perfection realm cultivator of the Eastern Region was massacring the city, he felt more at ease.
This was obviously a bluff. If the King of the Eastern Region was still alive, he definitely wouldn't do something like massacring ordinary people.
…
"He's really dead!"
Another half a month passed. In a secret castle in a mountain to the north of the North King's Mansion, Bei Xuan sneered when he received Bei Lun's report.
Just now, the high-level spy from the East King's Mansion sent news that Lord Yun and Lu Xiaobai were missing. In addition, many Great Perfection realm cultivators and some elites had also disappeared.
This meant that the possibility of the King of the Eastern Region being dead had reached 90%. Otherwise, how could Lu Xiaobai have disappeared?
How could the elites of the large clans have coincidentally disappeared together?
"Pass the message!"
Bei Xuan's eyes flickered. "Pass the message to the King of the Western Region and the King of the Southern Region. Tell them that the King of the Eastern Region is dead and ask them to come over and help. I will stand at the front and let them act according to the situation.
Also, pass the message to the Great Perfection realm cultivators of the Northern Region. Tell them that I have full confidence that we will definitely win this time.
Tell them to all teleport to the North King City. Otherwise, we will kill them without mercy! "
The Northern Region had suffered heavy losses this time. In particular, the Great Perfection realm cultivators of his faction had died. If he was at his peak, it would not matter. Now, he had to rely on the other Great Perfection realm cultivators of the Northern Region to join forces. Otherwise, they would not even be able to defeat these 14 Great Perfection realm cultivators.
Bei Lun immediately went to pass the message. After the Great Perfection realm cultivators of the Northern Region received the message, they hesitated for a while. In the end, many of them chose to teleport to the North King City.
Because if they did not come and Bei Xuan died, the Northern Region would be finished. Naturally, they would also be finished.
There were still some Great Perfection realm cultivators in the Northern Region. In total, there were more than 20 of them left. Over a dozen had been teleported over these few days. Including the Great Perfection realm cultivators of the Bei Family, there were 20 in total. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be enough.
Of course, if the King of the Eastern Region was still alive, then this group of Great Perfection realm cultivators would all die.
When this group of Great Perfection realm cultivators came over, Bei Xuan met them and gave them a reassurance — he was a hundred percent sure that the King of the Eastern Region was dead and told them to fight with peace of mind. When the time came, Bei Xuan would personally lead the team to battle.
Bei Lun explained part of the reason. This group of Great Perfection realm cultivators was skeptical. However, since Bei Xuan dared to gamble with his life and the lives of the Shell race, they were prepared to gamble as well.
If they could win, they would be able to preserve their territory. In fact, their territory might even be larger.
The King of the Southern Region and the King of the Western Region did not come!
These two had almost been killed by Bei Xuan previously. Why would they risk their lives again?
Anyway, Bei Xuan had already shouted and the experts of the Eastern Region had already been dispatched. This battle was unavoidable. They could only wait until the battle ended and see how it went.
Another month passed. The battleship from the Eastern Region was not far from the North King City. Along the way, the Great Perfection realm cultivators of the Eastern Region had slaughtered at least tens of millions of citizens. On the contrary, there were only a few million citizens of the Shell race. The rest had been implicated.
The battleship suddenly disappeared. Following that, the dozen or so Great Perfection realm cultivators also disappeared. The warriors of the North King City immediately retreated.
There were not many warriors here because the original warriors of the North King City had all been slaughtered. The ones who had come now were the ones who had arrived later.
They knew that the battle was about to begin. If they did not leave now, it was very likely that they would be buried with the North King City just like last time.
