Chapter 5015

After receiving the news, Huo Zhao immediately led the forces of the Eighth Palace toward the main city of Flying Tiger City!

The patrol envoy had already departed and needed time to reconstruct his physical form.

When Huo Zhao and his army arrived, they witnessed the Demon Dragon Palace’s forces rapidly advancing.

Furious, Huo Zhao shouted, “As long as my temple stands, I will never allow the Demon Dragon Palace to set foot in Flying Tiger City!”

The Soul Devouring Dragon Lord frowned at the sudden appearance of Huo Zhao.

“You’re from the Temple?” he asked.

“Yes. I am the Lord of the Eighth Palace of the Temple,” Huo Zhao replied with a nod. “Flying Tiger City is now under our control. If the Demon Dragon Palace wishes to claim territory, I suggest you find another target.”

“I think Rhino City is a better option. Its strength is all for show now—it wouldn’t take much effort to conquer it.”

In truth, Huo Zhao hoped the Demon Dragon Palace would turn its attention to Rhino City.

Had the Soul Devouring Dragon Lord not encountered Kai and learned of his identity, he would’ve been tempted to seize both cities.

“This realm is the battleground of our three great clans,” the Dragon Lord replied. “Your God Clan always claims to be the fourth race—why are you fighting over our territory?”

“Could a city of the Beast Tribe truly interest your temple?”

The Soul Devouring Dragon Lord’s attempt to flatter Huo Zhao only made him uncomfortable.

“Enough nonsense. Leave now or prepare to fight,” Huo Zhao snapped coldly.

The innate pride of the God Clan wouldn’t allow the Lord of the Eighth Palace to bow to demons.

“Fine! Let’s fight—who’s afraid of who?!”

The Soul Devouring Dragon Lord roared in rage.

War broke out.

The cultivators of the Eighth Palace swiftly formed battle formations, and the sky lit up with talismans, flying swords, and divine artifacts.

The Demon Dragon Palace’s bone dragon howled at the sky, and waves of skeleton soldiers surged from the sea of fog. A brutal clash erupted over Flying Tiger City.

“The Demon Dragon Palace and the Temple are actually fighting!”

Fengxian, watching from a distance toward the main city, spoke with amusement in his voice.

“It’s just a dog-eat-dog mess, all bark and fur flying…” Hu Mazi laughed.

But the Gadfly looked uneasy, panic flashing in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Kai asked, turning to him.

“Brother, I’m worried that the Demon Dragon Palace may not be able to defeat the Temple. If they retreat and Flying Tiger City ends up in the Temple’s hands, then Rhino City will be in serious danger.”

“I’m sure it won’t be long before the Eight Palaces recover. When that happens, they’ll definitely strike back through Flying Tiger City—and I won’t be able to stop them.”

The Gadfly spoke anxiously.

Although Flying Tiger City had suffered heavy losses, Rhino City wasn’t in much better shape.

Sooner or later, Huo Zhao would come for revenge.

And when that time came, Rhino City might not survive.

“You’re right—we can’t let the Temple come out on top,” Kai agreed with a nod.

“But we’re all exhausted,” said the woman in white. “How can we possibly help the Demon Dragon Palace now?”

They had fought alongside the forces of Flying Tiger City and the Eighth Palace. After that battle, without resting, they joined the fight against the Demon Dragon Palace. Everyone was already stretched to their limit.

“I have a plan!” Kai’s eyes lit up suddenly. “Gadfly, go bring Huo Shizi here. Whether Huo Zhao will back off or not depends on how much he cares about his son!”

Hearing this, the Gadfly rushed off to bring Huo Shizi.

Soon after, Kai and his group brought Huo Shizi directly to the main city of Flying Tiger City.

At that moment, the Eighth Palace and the Soul Devouring Dragon Lord were locked in intense battle.

But the longer the fight dragged on, the more unsettled the Soul Devouring Dragon Lord became—because he realized that Huo Zhao, the Lord of the Eighth Palace, was merely a minor figure in the Temple.

The Eighth Palace itself held little weight within the Temple’s true power structure.

And the Temple wasn’t even the strongest faction within the entire God Clan.

If they truly provoked the Temple over control of a single city, the Demon Dragon Palace might be putting itself in grave danger.
