Chapter 1334: Leading the Charge

"But I am, after all, a possessor of dragon blood. Appearing before those juniors as your mount, boss, wouldn't that be incredibly humiliating for me, the White Dragon?"

"Old Dragon, what I mean is that young Azure Dragon over there also possesses the bloodline inheritance of the Azure Dragon clan. Although not entirely pure, his cultivation power can fully display the essence of an Azure Dragon. Why not let him step forward to 'enlighten' those ignorant dragon juniors? It should have some effect."

As soon as White Dragon finished speaking, he suddenly transformed into a beam of white light and vanished from the spot, as if fleeing. He had truly passed the buck directly to Azure Dragon, leaving him in a difficult position.

Everyone's eyes simultaneously turned to Azure Dragon, who looked completely bewildered. He truly hadn't expected White Dragon to be so cunning.

"Hey, that guy really deserves a beating! Boss, why are you all looking at me? I only possess the inherited power of dragons, not a true dragon bloodline. Your stares are making me quite distressed."

The Black Tortoise clone glanced at Xu Yang, then smilingly walked over to Azure Dragon and patted his shoulder. He effectively conveyed what Xu Yang wanted to say but couldn't, to his friend Azure Dragon.

"You know well how the boss has treated us along the way. In today's battle, you must lead the charge and contribute your strength. Don't worry, even if you act as an emissary, with your strength, going in and out of the Dragon Lair seven times should be as easy as taking something from your pocket."

Azure Dragon shot a disgusted look at the Black Tortoise clone beside him, then quickly moved ten meters away, eyeing him warily.

"Don't try to make me the emissary. I need to think carefully about this. I suspect you guys are conspiring with the boss. The Dragon Clan is the most powerful lineage among the Ten Royal Guardians. Sending me in alone as an emissary would be a near-certain death!"

"Exactly, what you said makes perfect sense, young man. In that case, let Black Tortoise go with you. He is skilled in the Ghost Valley Divination Array. If necessary, he can activate the array's power, and both of you will retreat safely without any problems."

Hearing Xu Yang say this, the Black Tortoise clone instantly froze, an incredulous expression on his face. Azure Dragon, on the other hand, immediately felt a sense of balance and, with a decisive smile, agreed to Xu Yang's request.

"Don't worry, boss, we two will definitely complete the mission and never disappoint you! Let's go!"

With that, Azure Dragon grabbed the Black Tortoise clone beside him, and the two vanished simultaneously, rushing towards the other side of the Two Realms Peak.

After they left, Xiao Hua couldn't help but ask Xu Yang, "Is there any danger in sending those two? The Dragon Clan's stance is almost unshakeable, and this battle is inevitable. Why don't we go directly to the Two Realms Peak base and fight the Dragon Clan head-on?"

Facing Xiao Hua's question, Xu Yang's smile deepened.

"It seems you haven't made the same discovery as me. Take a good look at the Two Realms Peak from a bird's-eye view; its geographical layout is quite unique. Haven't you considered why the Beast Emperor's clan would temporarily order the Ten Royal Guardians from the three Central Plains regions to gather on this battlefield to contend with us? If my judgment is correct, the answer to that question should be hidden beneath this very mountain range where we are."

At Xu Yang's words, Xiao Hua immediately showed a surprised expression. "You mean the part of the Beast Emperor's power inheritance corresponding to the Dragon King's Venerable body isn't hidden within him, but sealed within the abyss of the Two Realms Peak?"

Xu Yang nodded solemnly. "Precisely. Since the Dragon Clan can utilize the Beast Emperor's inherited power to a certain extent, and can unleash even more formidable collective power when gathered, all this proves that the source guiding the Dragon Clan's power must be some extraordinarily special and powerful ancient mystical array. And the Beast Emperor's origin corresponding to the Dragon King's Venerable is the core of all energy gathered within that entire ancient array. Therefore, if we can find the corresponding array and extract the Dragon King's Venerable's inherited power essence from it, not only can we complete the mission ahead of schedule, but we can also completely strip the Dragon King's Venerable of his strongest advantage, which he relies on with impunity. Then, this battle will save us a lot of effort. And without the support of this array's energy core, the entire Dragon Clan's collective combat capability will be greatly diminished."

After hearing Xu Yang's assessment and plan, Xiao Hua couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up. "You really are meticulous; you even catch such subtle details. It seems I understand your true objective now. Sending those two ahead is to divert attention and make the Dragon Clan lower their guard. This way, we'll have a greater chance to directly enter the Two Realms Peak's entrance and pull the rug out from under them! The plan has been formed, so there's no need for further hesitation. Now, the question is, how do we pinpoint the exact location of that powerful energy array beneath the Two Realms Peak, and where is its entrance?"

Xiao Hua, the White Tiger youth, and the masked female envoy who never spoke, all fixed their gazes on Xu Yang, waiting for him to solve this problem.

Xu Yang, true to their expectations, activated the most crucial part of the Ghost Valley Divination Array. In an instant, combining it with his own Way of Tai Chi, he manifested a mystical totem of double shadows superimposed. Once the totem was fully formed, the elemental energies throughout the surrounding space automatically and consciously categorized themselves according to their respective attributes. All the fundamental power essences, drawn by the totem's energy, manifested clearly.

"The Qian position is what represents the attributes of the Dragon-Elephant. By simply finding the brightest direction of the Qian position, one can determine the location closest to the array's entrance."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, the double-layered array totem before them continued to spin rapidly. The moment the Qian position aligned with the northwest, the Tai Chi totem's light shone to its utmost brilliance. Following his Ghost Valley Divination techniques, Xu Yang finally located the exact entrance in the direction of the Two Realms Peak.

Having found the specific entrance, the group no longer hesitated. They immediately began to move and soon arrived before the powerful seal marking the entrance beneath the Two Realms Peak. A powerful dragon aura surged forth. Before Xu Yang and his companions could even touch the ethereal dragon seal before them, the shimmering light of the seal was surrounded by an extremely dense and oppressive dragon energy. Fortunately, Xu Yang had received the protection of dragon inheritance more than once, so he was not unfamiliar with such an aura.

"It seems we'll have to summon our little friend for help again."
