The Sky Eagle Divine King nodded slightly, "Currently, Yurou is undergoing healing in seclusion. Her injuries are quite severe, and it may take some time before she can emerge."

 Hearing this, a look of concern appeared in Ji Ziqing's eyes. "It's all the fault of those damned Barbarians. If anything happens to Yurou, I'll make sure those Barbarians pay."

 The fact that Ji Ziqing would make such a statement showed how truly angry she was with the Barbarians. At least, since Jiang Yuan had known her, he had never seen her this enraged.

Chapter 561: Collective Outrage

The Sky Eagle Divine King nodded slightly, Currently, Yurou is undergoing healing in seclusion. Her injuries are quite severe, and it may take some time before she can emerge.

Hearing this, a look of concern appeared in Ji Ziqing’s eyes. It’s all the fault of those damned Barbarians. If anything happens to Yurou, I’ll make sure those Barbarians pay.

The fact that Ji Ziqing would make such a statement showed how truly angry she was with the Barbarians. At least, since Jiang Yuan had known her, he had never seen her this enraged.

A sharp light also flashed through the Sky Eagle Divine King’s eyes as he spoke calmly, Rest assured, Princess. I will make those Barbarians realize that provoking our Ji Clan was the most foolish decision they’ve ever made.

As he spoke, a deadly aura emanated from the Sky Eagle Divine King. Although he was trying his best to contain it, Jiang Yuan could still feel a terrifying pressure emanating from him.

Sitting there, the Sky Eagle Divine King seemed to Jiang Yuan like an ancient fierce beast, ready to devour anyone at any moment.

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but silently mourn for the Eternal Prosperity Divine King and the other Barbarian Divine Kings. It was clear that the Ji Clan, enraged by Ji Hechen’s demise, had even sent a Divine King.

One could imagine, with the Sky Eagle Divine King’s strength, if he truly sought out the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, it was highly likely that the latter would be no match for him.

However, Jiang Yuan was looking forward to this. After all, he and Ji Ziqing had nearly perished at the hands of the Eternal Prosperity Divine King not so long ago. Since he couldn’t seek revenge against such a powerful Divine King anytime soon, seeing the Eternal Prosperity Divine King meet his misfortune would be satisfying.

With the Sky Eagle Divine King leaving, Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing knew that with such a powerful being ensuring their safety, they could recover their energies at ease.

Both individuals had depleted their internal energy, yet the speed of their recovery was astonishingly fast. With the Spirit Crystals provided by the Ji Clan at their disposal, it was no surprise that their strength was restored at a remarkable pace.

In just a matter of two days, both Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing had fully regained their strength. Moreover, having gained insights amidst life-and-death battles, they had digested these realizations and improved their cultivation levels.

Jiang Yuan had now reached the peak of the Seven Stars Divine Envoy, and with the right opportunity, he could break through to become an Eight Stars Divine Envoy at any moment. Ji Ziqing’s cultivation level was no less impressive, and now their skills were evenly matched.

For Jiang Yuan, catching up with Ji Ziqing’s cultivation level was a true accomplishment. After all, Ji Ziqing had always been significantly more powerful than him. Now that their strengths were comparable, Jiang Yuan was naturally delighted.

Despite not voicing it, Jiang Yuan had felt a tad frustrated at being weaker than Ji Ziqing. Now that their powers were equal, he was in high spirits, and it seemed likely that he might even surpass Ji Ziqing in the future.

Meanwhile, the Barbarian Race had retreated tens of thousands of miles away due to heavy casualties from a great battle, making it difficult for them to completely encircle Wind and Rain Island.

Thus, the Barbarians decisively gave up on continuing to besiege Wind and Rain Island. Instead, they regrouped their forces, only stationing a large number of Barbarians in a few strategic locations. This move clearly indicated their intention to consolidate their strength.

After nearly half a month of rest and recuperation, most of the Barbarians had recovered, and the Eternal Prosperity Divine King had also emerged from seclusion.

In addition to the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, there were two other Divine Kings present. Together, the three Divine Kings sat in the grand hall, with a dense crowd of Barbarian elites below them.

Among the three Divine Kings, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King looked the most distressed, while the other two seemed calm. However, a careful observer might notice a hint of amusement in the eyes of these two Divine Kings.

Indeed, these two Divine Kings were secretly delighted. In the past, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King and his brother, the Yong Li Divine King, had been exceedingly arrogant, relying on their combined strength to completely disregard them.

After all, they were also powerful Divine Kings. Yet, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King and his brother had not given them any respect at all. This had naturally angered them greatly.

However, they were powerless to resist the Eternal Prosperity Divine King and his brother, as their combined strength was simply too great. If they were to truly fall out with the two brothers, they would only end up suffering.

But now, the Yong Li Divine King had unexpectedly perished in battle. The fall of a Divine King was undoubtedly a huge blow to them, greatly weakening the Barbarian Race.

Yet, while this was true from a macro perspective, on a personal level, the two Divine Kings were secretly thrilled by the Yong Li Divine King’s death.

In fact, if either of them had been willing to intervene when the Yong Li Divine King fell, he might not have died. However, they had made no move to help, allowing him to perish before their very eyes.

While there had been a great deal of chance involved, and even they had been surprised by the Yong Li Divine King’s demise, if they had not subconsciously harbored animosity towards him, they could have saved him if they had been willing to act.

Now, sitting beside the Eternal Prosperity Divine King and observing his gloomy expression, the two Divine Kings could hardly contain their secret amusement.

This is what happens when you’re arrogant. Let’s see how you act tough now.

Fortunately, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King was unaware of their thoughts. If he had known what was going on in their minds, he would have likely erupted in fury.

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s gaze swept over the Barbarian elites below. Anyone who felt his cold stare couldn’t help but shiver inwardly.

The death of the Yong Li Divine King, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s brother, in the great battle was widely known. Everyone could understand the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s grief, but despite their understanding, his current gloomy demeanor was making everyone tremble in fear.

If the Eternal Prosperity Divine King were to vent his anger on them, they would be in a dire situation.

As if to confirm their fears, the Barbarian elites avoided eye contact with the Eternal Prosperity Divine King as his cold gaze swept over them. Seeing their reactions and thinking of his fallen brother, the Yong Li Divine King, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s anger flared.

With a loud bang, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair, shattering it into pieces. The Barbarian elites below gasped in unison, their hearts pounding in their chests.

Useless fools! Look at yourselves, cowering like this. If our Barbarian Race were to rely on you incompetent buffoons, we would have been annihilated by the Human Race long ago.

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King berated the Barbarian elites below him like unruly children, completely disregarding their status as the most powerful warriors of the Barbarian Race.

The Barbarian elites were taken aback by the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s outburst. Had he gone mad? If he had only targeted one or two of them, that would have been understandable.

But now, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King was casting his aspersions far and wide, insulting everyone present. This was unacceptable to these proud warriors.

After all, as powerful individuals, they each had their own dignity. Even though the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s strength surpassed theirs, they were no slouches either. Several of the Nine Stars Divine Envoys among them had the potential to advance to the Divine King realm. While their status and authority might not be on par with the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s, the gap between them was not so vast.

Now, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King was treating them like unruly children, openly humiliating them. Even the most mild-mannered person would find this intolerable, let alone these proud and powerful warriors.

Perhaps one or two of them might have endured it under pressure from the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, but now that everyone was being targeted, the Barbarian elites exchanged glances.

At that moment, several figures stepped forward and faced the Eternal Prosperity Divine King directly. One of them spoke up fearlessly, Eternal Prosperity Divine King, we can understand that you’re grieving over the Yong Li Divine King’s death, but that doesn’t give you the right to insult us like this. We are the backbone of the Barbarian Race, and you cannot humiliate us at your whim.

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King was taken aback. Then, his gaze fell upon the Divine Envoys who had spoken out, as well as the rest of the crowd below. His anger surged, and he pointed at the speaker. Boundless Divine Envoy, you dare to defy me? Do you truly believe that I will not punish you?

The Boundless Divine Envoy laughed out loud, showing no respect for the Eternal Prosperity Divine King. This further enraged the latter.

Eternal Prosperity Divine King, the Boundless Divine Envoy said, let me be blunt. Why did the Yong Li Divine King die? Wasn’t it because of his own recklessness? For a Divine King to die in such an embarrassing manner is a disgrace to our Barbarian Race...

What did you say? I’ll kill you!

The Boundless Divine Envoy’s words had crossed a line. The Eternal Prosperity Divine King was enraged.

In his fury, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King lunged at the Boundless Divine Envoy. His attack was swift and deadly. If it had connected, the Boundless Divine Envoy would have been severely injured, if not killed outright.

Stop!

Eternal Prosperity Divine King, wait!

The moment the Eternal Prosperity Divine King made his move, two Divine Kings, who had been silent up until that point, suddenly intervened to stop the Eternal Prosperity Divine King from attacking the Boundless Divine Envoy.

Not only that, but several Divine Envoys who stood by the Boundless Divine Envoy also joined forces to help him fend off the Eternal Prosperity Divine King.

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King hadn’t expected everyone to oppose him, which only fueled his rage. He broke through the blockade set up by the two Divine Kings and reached for the Boundless Divine Envoy.

Under the combined strength of several Divine Envoys, they managed to barely hold off the ferocious strike from the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, causing the Boundless Divine Envoy and his allies to stagger backward.

The intervention of the two Divine Kings had significantly reduced the force of the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s attack, so even though it was weaker, it still forced the Boundless Divine Envoy and his companions to retreat.

Finally, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King calmed down and turned to the two Divine Kings with a cold look. What are you trying to do? Why are you stopping me? Can’t you see they are defying their superior?

The Black-faced Divine King smiled slightly and looked at the Eternal Prosperity Divine King with a calm demeanor. Eternal Prosperity Divine King, you can’t really blame them. After all, you shouldn’t have criticized everyone like that. These individuals are the backbone of our Barbarian Race. Without their sacrifices, how could we possibly stand up to the Human Race? Denouncing their achievements like that was inappropriate.

A cold gleam flashed in the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s eyes as he stared at the Black-faced Divine King with great displeasure. What do you mean by that, Black-faced Divine King?

Even the slow-reacting Eternal Prosperity Divine King could sense a change in the Black-faced Divine King’s attitude towards him. It was too apparent. Previously, the Black-faced Divine King wouldn’t dare to speak to him in such a manner, but now he seemed to be disregarding him, which infuriated the Eternal Prosperity Divine King.

Damn it, all of you deserve to die. Oh, Black-faced Divine King, after seeing my brother fall, you think I can’t control you anymore and dare to be so arrogant.

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King fixed his gaze on the Black-faced Divine King, who returned the gaze fearlessly. Suddenly, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King burst into laughter. Haha, the Black-faced Divine King is right. I was too agitated. My fault. I apologize to everyone here.

This sudden change in the Eternal Prosperity Divine King was unbelievable, leaving everyone as if they had seen a ghost, staring at him in disbelief.

Chapter 562: Failed Raid

Everyone knew the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s character and temperament very well. If he had gone berserk or even started a fight with the Black-faced Divine King, it wouldn’t have been surprising. But now, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s expression had changed as if by magic, leaving everyone’s eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Am I dreaming?

Could the Eternal Prosperity Divine King have gone mad?

This must be an illusion. When has the Eternal Prosperity Divine King ever admitted his mistakes?

Everyone was taken aback by the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s abnormal reaction, even the Black-faced Divine King, who was staring at him with an incredulous expression.

Taking a deep breath, the Black-faced Divine King looked at the Eternal Prosperity Divine King with a hint of wariness. He couldn’t help but be cautious given how unusual the Eternal Prosperity Divine King was acting.

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King seemed oblivious to everyone’s reactions as he said to the Black-faced Divine King, Black-faced Divine King, I’ll leave the following matters to you. I need some time to calm down. Otherwise, given my current state of wanting to avenge the Yong Li Divine King, I’m afraid I’ll make the wrong decision.

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s words were logical and he appeared very calm, but the more this was the case, the more unbelievable it seemed.

However, after the Eternal Prosperity Divine King finished speaking, he sat down, closed his eyes, and assumed an indifferent attitude. This left everyone looking at each other in confusion, unsure of what the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s intentions were.

Gazing deeply at the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, the Black-faced Divine King lightly coughed and said to everyone below, Everyone, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King has already apologized. For the sake of the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s fallen brother, please do not hold his previous behavior against him.

On the surface, the Black-faced Divine King was explaining for the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, but he was actually ruthlessly attacking him. Although the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s earlier behavior had already angered everyone, the Black-faced Divine King didn’t mind slandering him further.

With the Black-faced Divine King’s obvious actions, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King wouldn’t have let it rest if he had been his usual self, but now the Eternal Prosperity Divine King sat there as if he hadn’t heard anything, showing no reaction at all.

The Black-faced Divine King, who had been paying close attention to the Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s reaction, clenched his fists subconsciously.

After being ruthlessly suppressed by the Eternal Prosperity Divine King in the past, he had finally gotten his revenge, which made him feel elated.

Unable to resist being arrogant, the Black-faced Divine King assumed that the Eternal Prosperity Divine King didn’t dare to be as rampant as before without the Yong Li Divine King’s support. He felt extremely delighted at having suppressed the Eternal Prosperity Divine King.

Everyone saw the Black-faced Divine King’s actions and naturally understood his intentions. However, the Eternal Prosperity Divine King had indeed angered everyone earlier, so even though the Black-faced Divine King’s petty moves were somewhat despicable, no one said anything.

Observing the Black-faced Divine King’s actions, another Divine King couldn’t help but let out a wry smile and coughed lightly. Black-faced Divine King, let’s discuss how to attack Wind and Rain Island next. Judging from the news from the other battlefields, our results here are rather disappointing.

The Black-faced Divine King snorted coldly. If the Yong Li Divine King hadn’t been unlucky enough to die, how could we have attracted the Heavenly Emperor’s special attention and criticism?

As the Black-faced Divine King spoke, he failed to notice the Eternal Prosperity Divine King sitting there, frowning slightly. Under his sleeves, he clenched his fists tightly and then slowly released them.

His gaze fell upon the crowd below, and the Black-faced Divine King said, Everyone, if you have any good ideas, feel free to share them. As long as we can conquer Wind and Rain Island, I will definitely ask the Heavenly Emperor to reward you all.

There was a moment of silence below. The Boundless Divine Envoy, who had dared to directly confront the Eternal Prosperity Divine King earlier, now spoke up. Black-faced Divine King, I do have a humble suggestion.

Upon hearing this, the Black-faced Divine King couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Boundless Divine Envoy, feel free to share your suggestion.

The Boundless Divine Envoy said, Originally, we had the advantage in terms of top-tier experts since we had four Divine Kings. That’s why we chose to directly attack and confront Wind and Rain Island head-on. Unfortunately, the Yong Li Divine King has died, and now we’re no longer superior to the other side, at least in terms of Divine Kings. If we continue to engage in a head-on confrontation like before, we might not gain any advantage. Even if we do ultimately achieve victory, I’m afraid few of us present will survive.

Everyone present was intelligent and naturally understood that the Boundless Divine Envoy’s words made sense.

The Black-faced Divine King nodded. Boundless Divine Envoy, you’re right. In that case, you must have a better plan. Why don’t you share it with us?

Everyone’s gazes fell upon the Boundless Divine Envoy. Obviously, they all wanted to see what brilliant plan he could come up with.

Under everyone’s scrutiny, the Boundless Divine Envoy appeared calm and composed. In my opinion, we have the initiative, so we might as well focus our forces on raiding Wind and Rain Island and directly beheading them. Even if we can’t kill several Divine Kings led by the Nine Suns Divine King, we can at least kill some of the Human Race’s Divine Envoys.

Upon hearing the Boundless Divine Envoy’s words, many people’s eyes lit up, and they couldn’t help but show expressions of eagerness.

The Boundless Divine Envoy’s suggestion was indeed good. If they could really carry it out according to his plan, they might be able to inflict great damage on the Human Race on Wind and Rain Island. Especially if they could kill the top experts on Wind and Rain Island, conquering the island would naturally be a piece of cake.

The Black-faced Divine King even clapped his hands and exclaimed, Good, what a wonderful plan! Everyone, discuss Boundless Divine Envoy’s suggestion. Is it feasible?

No one could come up with a better idea than the Boundless Divine Envoy. Moreover, the Boundless Divine Envoy’s suggestion was indeed the most suitable for the current situation, so everyone agreed. Finally, the Black-faced Divine King made the decision and finalized the beheading plan.

Half a month had almost passed since the great battle. The corpses that had been floating in the sea had long since disappeared, and even the seawater that had been dyed red had returned to its clear state. If not for the fact that both sides had lost hundreds of millions of troops, judging from Wind and Rain Island’s calm and peaceful appearance, it seemed as though the fierce battle had been nothing but a dream.

Waves crashed against Wind and Rain Island, enveloping it in darkness. Amidst the downpour, thunder, and lightning, the entire island was shrouded in a curtain of rain.

The island was eerily quiet, yet patrol teams were diligently making their rounds, undeterred by the deluge.

However, at this moment, a series of phantom-like figures utilized the cover of the rain to approach Wind and Rain Island silently. One of the patrol teams was slain without making a sound.

It’s worth noting that the leader of this patrol was a Divine Lord, who could detect even the slightest hint of an ambush by Divine Envoys. Yet, this Divine Lord was effortlessly killed by the Black-faced Divine King.

Following the Boundless Divine Envoy’s advice, the Barbarians assembled a team comprising over half of their elite forces, totaling tens of thousands. Even the weakest among them was of Divine General caliber, with three Divine Kings leading the team. Such a force, if launched into Wind and Rain Island unexpectedly, could overpower almost any target with little resistance.

The Black-faced Divine King, with a hint of joy, whispered, Everyone, be extra cautious. We mustn’t alert the people on Wind and Rain Island. Regardless, we aim to eliminate some of the Human Race’s strongholds before we’re discovered. Even if our presence is revealed, we’ll have secured a significant advantage.

Without needing to be reminded by the Black-faced Divine King, everyone understood this and proceeded with utmost caution.

With the three powerful beings led by the Black-faced Divine King paving the way, the island’s defenses were as flimsy as paper to the Barbarians, allowing them to infiltrate the core of Wind and Rain Island swiftly.

Their target, Wind and Rain Hall, was surrounded by the residences of the Human Race’s strongest members. By attacking Wind and Rain Hall and eliminating most of the Human Race’s strongholds around it, the Barbarians aimed to inflict a devastating blow on the Human Race.

As the heavy rain poured, Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing stood on a balcony, peering through the rain at the night sky.

Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze from the rain and smiled slightly, Ziqing, what do you think those Barbarians are up to right now?

Ji Ziqing smiled, They’re probably planning to attack Wind and Rain Island. The Barbarians’ unusual calmness these days is not a good sign.

Jiang Yuan nodded. Indeed. The Barbarians are severely weakened, and besieging Wind and Rain Island is no longer feasible. They’ve gathered their troops, but we don’t know precisely when they’ll strike.

Ji Ziqing said, No matter when they come, Wind and Rain Island is well-prepared. Even in a head-on battle, the Barbarians won’t gain an advantage.

Jiang Yuan chuckled, That’s true. Especially considering the Divine King level, the Barbarians are at a disadvantage unless reinforcements arrive. I wonder what their reaction would be if they knew about the Sky Eagle Divine King.

A cold glint flashed in Ji Ziqing’s eyes. They deserve it for harming Ji Hechen. Otherwise, the Sky Eagle Divine King wouldn’t have come to Wind and Rain Island. This time, we must make the Barbarians pay.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan’s brow furrowed, and his gaze sharpened as he looked outside. Ziqing, do you feel a sense of unease?

Ji Ziqing’s eyes glinted. Something’s not quite right. Could it be...

The two exchanged a glance, and in an instant, the Yin Yang Jade Pendant in Ji Ziqing’s hand and Jiang Yuan’s Worship General Platform simultaneously flew out of the pavilion.

The Water Fire Giant Dragon abruptly exploded in the air, while the Worship General Platform shook the void like a mountain, causing Wind and Rain Island to tremble under Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing’s power.

At that moment, a figure appeared beside Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing—it was the Sky Eagle Divine King.

With a flick of his hand towards the void, the Sky Eagle Divine King shattered the space, sending several screams echoing through the air.

Barbarian invasion! Enemy attack!

Wind and Rain Island immediately fell into a state of chaos. The Barbarians, who had been stealthily lurking in the void, hadn’t even managed to kill anyone when they were forced to reveal themselves by Jiang Yuan, Ji Ziqing, and the Sky Eagle Divine King.

The Black-faced Divine King and other Barbarian powerhouses were shocked by their early exposure. They had been extremely cautious, so there was no reason for them to be discovered so quickly.

Little did they know that the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, who had been silent all this while, had a sinister grin on his face.

The Barbarians could never have imagined that their premature discovery was orchestrated by the Eternal Prosperity Divine King. Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing had detected the killing intent the Eternal Prosperity Divine King had intentionally leaked, alerting them to the Barbarian ambush.

Kill each other! Kill each other mercilessly! It’s best if you all perish!

The Eternal Prosperity Divine King’s heart roared with fury. The Yong Li Divine King had died at the hands of the Human Race, and the Eternal Prosperity Divine King naturally wanted every Human to be buried with him. However, the Black-faced Divine King and his followers had also humiliated the Eternal Prosperity Divine King, who hated them with a passion.

That was why the Eternal Prosperity Divine King had deliberately alerted everyone, hoping to instigate a bloody battle between the two sides. No matter the outcome, he would achieve his goal.

These damned Barbarians dare to sneak attack us!

Jiang Yuan’s eyes flashed with anger as he identified the Barbarians in the sky.

The Sky Eagle Divine King interjected with a hint of admiration, Impressive. It seems these Barbarians aren’t fools. They understand how to achieve their objectives. Unfortunately for them, they were too careless and revealed their presence. Otherwise, they might have succeeded in their surprise attack.

As a formidable figure, the Sky Eagle Divine King had instantly deduced the Barbarians’ plan after their discovery.

Chapter 563: Blocked Path

Upon hearing the Sky Eagle Divine King’s words, Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing immediately came to their senses. A gleam flashed in Jiang Yuan’s eyes as he said, I didn’t expect these Barbarians to have such a plan. Fortunately, we discovered their treacherous scheme. Otherwise, if they had succeeded, Wind and Rain Island would have fallen. By then, only one in ten thousand would have escaped.

Jiang Yuan and Ji Ziqing were both aware of the dire consequences if the Barbarian surprise attack had been successful, which was why they were incredibly relieved to have detected it in time.

At that moment, Human Race powerhouses like the Nine Suns Divine King and the Jade Wave Divine King had already charged out to engage the Barbarians who had infiltrated the island.

Although they had the home field advantage, the Human Race experts were scattered across Wind and Rain Island and couldn’t gather immediately. The Barbarians, on the other hand, hadn’t come in full force, so the two sides were evenly matched for the time being.

However, both the Barbarians who had initiated the ambush and the Human Race powerhouses who had responded understood that as time went on, more and more Human Race experts would arrive, putting the Black-faced Divine King and his followers in jeopardy.

The Black-faced Divine King and the tens of thousands of Barbarian powerhouses weren’t fools. They realized that they were now in a very precarious position. So after they understood that their surprise attack had failed, they decisively made a choice.

The forces that had initially dispersed now desperately regrouped, attempting to break out of Wind and Rain Island.

However, at this juncture, the Nine Suns Divine King and other experts had also made preparations to besiege the Black-faced Divine King and his followers. A large number of powerhouses rushed over from all directions, surrounding the Barbarian powerhouses under the Nine Suns Divine King’s loud roars.

The Black-faced Divine King let out a deafening roar. Everyone, follow me and charge out!

At this point, the Barbarians also realized that if they couldn’t break out of the encirclement, they would undoubtedly face a grim fate. As a result, each and every one of them fought with reckless abandon.

With the Black-faced Divine King leading the charge, the Barbarians momentarily showed signs of breaking through the obstacles and escaping.

Upon witnessing this, the Nine Suns Divine King let out a furious roar and punched a nearby Barbarian Divine Lord into smithereens. He then flashed several times and appeared in front of the Black-faced Divine King, blocking his path.

The Nine Suns Divine King said to the Black-faced Divine King, Black-faced Divine King, since you’re here, why don’t you stay? You came with such fanfare, wouldn’t it be rude of us not to extend our hospitality?

The Black-faced Divine King’s expression changed slightly when he saw the Nine Suns Divine King blocking his way. After listening to the Nine Suns Divine King’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Nine Suns Divine King, although I don’t know how you discovered our whereabouts, even if our surprise attack failed, it’s impossible for you to keep us here.

The Nine Suns Divine King and the Black-faced Divine King had already exchanged several blows while speaking. No one else was within a few kilometers of them, and a cold smile appeared on the Nine Suns Divine King’s lips. "Oh really? Since you’re
