Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Hidden Imperial Family

Outside Corpse Emperor Mountain.

Under the summons of the Demon Emperor Order, strong individuals from various clans had already gathered here in droves!

Corpse Emperor Mountain, the legendary No Man’s Forbidden Zone. If not for the Demon Emperor Order’s call, no one would deliberately come here.

Over the years, countless strong people ventured into the Forbidden Zone, and most ended up never returning, forever remaining within its confines.

Eventually, everyone generally agreed on one thing: unless one had reached the Saint Realm, they would not enter the Forbidden Zone!

Yet, even though the No Man’s Forbidden Zone was incredibly dangerous, there were always people curious about it, wanting to explore and see for themselves.

Because, while the survival rate in the No Man’s Forbidden Zone was frighteningly low, without exception, everyone who came out safely had gained enormous opportunities, becoming a person who could command the winds and the clouds in the outside world!

Now, with the Demon Emperor’s orders issued by the Golden Crow Emperor and the Suanni Lion Emperor to enter Corpse Emperor Mountain, many people saw this as a chance to satisfy their curiosity and to seek the fortunes within the zone!

Around Corpse Emperor Mountain was enveloped in a layer of eerily black Barrier, adding a touch of horror to this already notoriously dangerous Forbidden Zone.

Luan Yu, Xiang Zhenxu, and Jingangzi, several of the Heavenly Prides from the Demon Beast World, had all arrived outside Corpse Emperor Mountain, but they weren’t in a rush to enter because the real protagonists had not yet arrived!

At that moment, a great commotion suddenly came from the sky; it was people from the Golden Crow and Suanni Royal Families!

Apart from Jin Lie and Suan Tian, two young Supremes from the new generation, the two royal families had also dispatched their strongest combatants below the Saint Realm from their clan, two Quasi-Saints!

These two Quasi-Saints were the main force of these two royal families in their campaign to Corpse Emperor Mountain!

A Quasi-Saint was only one step away from the Saint Realm. Their Holy Bodies had been completely refined; only their Holy Souls lacked a bit of perfection, and they no longer greatly differed from a true Saint.

Moreover, being from the Golden Crow and Suanni Royal Families, these two Quasi-Saints were absolutely stunning and invincible heroes, and all the focused gazes on them contained a hint of reverence.

The two Royal Family Quasi-Saints were extremely powerful, coupled with their bloodline suppression, they were unbeatable by those of the Royal Family!

“Kong Linyun has arrived!”

Soon, a five-colored brilliance struck through, lighting up the sky. Someone recognized them—it was the Peacock Clan, and everyone’s eyes turned sharp.

After the battle at the Peacock Sacred Land, no one in the Demon Beast World dared to underestimate the Peacock Clan anymore, which had thus become a top Royal Family, almost on par with the Imperial Family!

Kong Linyun, the Peacock Clan’s Heavenly Pride who had dominated both Jin Lie and Suan Tian at the Phoenix Ancient Nest, possessed the Phoenix Nine Slashes. Among the younger generation, he was nearly invincible, creating an undefeated myth!

Seeing Kong Linyun’s arrival, the faces of Jin Lie and Suan Tian turned sour. They were supposed to be the center of attention, the ones worshipped by everyone. But now, the focus that should have been theirs had all shifted to Kong Linyun. They had become mere side characters!

How preposterous!

“Is this man Kong Linyun?”

The two Royal Family Quasi-Saints also fixed their gaze on Lin Yi, sizing him up.

Naturally, they had heard of Lin Yi’s achievements. A Peacock emerging victorious from the various clan disputes at the Phoenix Ancient Nest, becoming the ultimate winner, required immense fortune and strength.

This man was extraordinary!

“It’s Jin Tianye and Suan Yunxu, the two Quasi-Saints!”

Kong Lingxiang looked at the two Royal Family Quasi-Saints and said solemnly, “These two are the strongest below the Saint Realm from the Golden Crow and Suanni clans. It seems this trip to the Corpse Emperor Mountain really cost them a fortune!”

They initially had some doubts, wondering if this was a trap set by the two royal families to target their Peacock Clan. But now, it seemed they might have been overthinking.

“Why haven’t we entered the mountain yet?”

Seeing that none of the gathered groups seemed ready to move, Lin Yi’s face showed a hint of confusion, “What are we waiting for?”

Beside him, Kong Lingxiang shook her head, her beautiful eyes suddenly flashing brilliantly, “Because the real protagonist hasn’t arrived yet!”

“The real protagonist?”

Lin Yi looked surprised. The Golden Crow and Suanni royal families weren’t the real protagonists?

While Lin Yi was pondering this, the atmosphere outside Corpse Emperor Mountain changed again, and a terrifying presence descended!

Thousands of miles in the sky turned blood-red as if Divine Fire was burning above in the heavens, forming a sea of fire clouds. In that sea of clouds, several figures appeared, all with peerless presences, each having a divine horn shining brightly on their foreheads, radiating unparalleled bloodline fluctuations.

“Those are… Qilin horns!”

Someone recognized the divine horns on their foreheads and exclaimed, causing a wave of gasps.

“It’s the legendary Kirin Royal Family!”

Someone trembled with fear.

It was said that in the Demon Beast World, there were not only two royal families, but also a more powerful hidden royal family behind the scenes, transcending the mundane and treating the world like a chessboard. They never expected to see one of them today—Qilin!

“Qiao Shaofeng of the Kirin Clan, a legend who is a pure-blooded Black Jade Qilin, is a young Supreme stronger than Jin Lie and Suan Tian!”

All eyes focused on this black-robed, divine-horned youth, the young Supreme of the Kirin Clan, who had appeared once in the Demon Beast World and defeated all the Heavenly Prides of various clans; hence, some remembered his name.

“Who would have thought it was Kirin?”

Lin Yi was equally shocked. This divine beast, renowned since the Ancient Times, still existing in the modern world, was simply incredible!

But before Lin Yi’s shock had subsided, another immensely powerful fluctuation arrived outside Corpse Emperor Mountain!

Another clan’s strong individuals had arrived!

In that patch of sky, Immortal Energy fluttered, and silhouettes multiplied, as if a fairy was descending. The foremost person had an excellent figure, curvy, wearing a snow-white long dress, with long silver hair, resembling an ice and snow fairy.

Behind her perky buttocks fluttered nine fluffy snow-white tails!

“Another great hidden royal family has appeared, the Nine-tailed Royal Family! This clan’s people are extremely rare, but they possess nine lives and have incredibly long lifespans!”

Another cry of surprise recognized the genesis of this Nine-tailed lady.

The renowned Nine-tailed Fox Clan, though few in number, each had left legendary marks in the Green Ruins Realm!

This clan was even more mysterious. For nearly a thousand years, there hadn’t been any news about this clan, unexpected that they too were part of the hidden royal families, showing themselves now!
