Tong Tian the Leo King would bear the recoil of the secret technique if he suspended it. The three Wolf Kings would not let this golden opportunity pass them by! Rely on the protection of the Thunder Cliff? Tong Tian the Leo King was not naïve enough to leave his fate in the hands of others as they could not be relied upon.
“Leo King, live today to fight another day.” Ye Chen looked at Tong Tian the Leo King. The Leo King was a true hero. It would be a waste if he went down with the demon wolves.
“If I cancel the secret technique, my Psyche will be severely damaged. When that happens, the Wolven Kingdom will go back on their words and hunt us down. There’s no way for us to escape. Young man, leave this place. This has nothing to do with you.” Tong Tian the Leo King shook his head emotionlessly.
The three Celestial Beast Daemon Kings of the Wolven Kingdom had an uncertain look on their faces.
The Blood Wolf Daemon King turned his gaze on Ye Chen. He saw the Immortal Dark Phoenix materialized from Ye Chen earlier. He could tell he was a beginner rank Daemon King but was not sure what role he played in the Leo King’s Palace.
Both sides had suffered great loss in today’s battle. Though the Blood Wolf Daemon King was confident that he could slip away using his secret technique, the destructiveness of Tong Tian the Leo King’s secret technique was so powerful that he was still bound to be severely wounded. Several forces had their eyes on the Wolven Kingdom as well. Following this battle, the Wolven Kingdom would have some rough days ahead of them.
The master of the Thunder Cliff closed his fist together. “I’m the master of Thunder Cliff, Cen You. I hereby vow that I’ll ensure the Leo King is safely escorted back to his palace. Leo King, will you accept my offer?” He looked at the three Wolf Kings of the Wolven Kingdom, then at Tong Tian the Leo King. He seemed to be pondering something.
The Thunder Cliff had already breached their covenant once. Tong Tian the Leo King had lost his trust for the Thunder Cliff. Why would he entrust his life in the hands of the Thunder Cliff?
Ye Chen looked up at Tong Tian the Leo King. A vibrant purple flame appeared in his eyes. “Will the Leo King put his trust in me?”
Tong Tian the Leo King jolted when he saw the purple flame in Ye Chen’s eyes. A trace of surprise revealed on his face and he slightly nodded. The purple flame was the flame of the Purple-fire Astra Lion Clan. Was Ye Chen the descendant of the Purple-fire Astra Lion Clan that he saw in the Jadeite City?
When Ye Chen signaled with his right hand, the Soul Pearl in his hand went forth and headed toward the location of the Divine Elephant and the Green-scaled Pangolin. The Divine Elephant and the Green-scaled Pangolin vanished when a flash of light from the Soul Pearl came upon them. Ye Chen reached out and caught the Soul Pearl coming back to him.
“Leo King, let’s go!” Ye Chen evoked his Astral Body. Tong Tian the Leo King was sent into the Heavenly Astra Seal without any resistance. Ye Chen morphed into a bolt of light and flew outward. “Thunder Cliff, you vowed that you’ll protect the Leo King. Please hold off the Wolven Kingdom for an hour. The remaining forces of the Leo King’s Palace are also in your care!”
“You won’t be getting away so easily!” The Blood Wolf Daemon King brandished the demonic blade and went after Ye Chen.
In that very instant, Cen You lifted a broadsword conjured from a bolt of thunder and slammed it down, obstructing the Blood Wolf Daemon King.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh,” the eight Godly Venerable Rank and Daemon King Rank masters appeared before the Blood Wolf Daemon King and the others.
“Wolf King, I implore you to stop chasing after the Leo King. If you do, the Thunder Cliff will not sit by idly!” Cen You warned sternly. If the three Wolf Kings of the Wolven Kingdom chose to hunt down the Leo King, the Thunder Cliff would take action since they were the allies of the Leo King’s Palace.
Under Cen You’s command, the remaining forces of the Leo King’s Palace were assimilated by the Thunder Cliff. The Leo King’s Palace had suffered tremendous loss. There were only near two hundred Mystique Venerable Rank fighters remaining.
The Blood Wolf Daemon King scoffed. His gaze trailed after Ye Chen’s escaping figure. Not only Ye Chen was not headed for the exit of the seventh floor of the Soul Pagoda but he also went further into the seventh floor. They still had a chance!
The Leo King had already suspended his secret technique so he must be severely injured by now. If they did not seize this opportunity, they may never see another one like this again.
The Blood Wolf Daemon King wondered what sort of artifact the brat’s black pearl which could take people inside it was.
The Daemon Kings of the Wolven Kingdom remained still and exchanged glances with each other.
The Blood Wolf Daemon King’s consciousness delved into the Demon Wolf Manic Blade. “Great Ancestor, what’s that black pearl?”
“It’s probably a spirit arcana.” The demon wolf’s great ancestor thought for a moment. “It looks like the Soul Pearl. There’s an almighty great demon sealed within it. Even before I was born, the great demon was already known across all the lands.”
“That powerful? In that case, we can’t let Tong Tian get away. If he managed to learn demonic technique from the demon, it won’t be so easy to kill him in the future.”
“Not just anyone can adopt the demonic techniques,” the demon wolf’s great ancestor muttered.
A brilliant spark appeared in the Blood Wolf Daemon King’s eyes. If the black pearl was truly a spirit arcana, they had to get their hands on it. Then, the Wolven King would own two spirit arcana! With the second spirit arcana, the other factions would have to think twice before confronting the Wolven Kingdom.
Cen You glanced into the distance and pondered silently. He was not sure if the young man was reliable. The young man asked them to hold off the Wolven Kingdom for an hour. It was not a difficult task so they would see it done. What happened after that would be dictated by the heavens above.
Cen You surveyed the two hundred Mystique Venerable Rank fighters below. They were a significantly powerful force. Even the Thunder Cliff only had six hundred Mystique Venerable Rank fighters.
After an hour, Ye Chen had covered a lot of ground. He sensed the Blood Wolf Daemon King’s Psyche still trailing after him. A smirk greeted the corner of his lips before he went into the Heavenly Astra Seal and disappeared.
The Blood Wolf Daemon King frowned. Somehow, his Psyche could not detect Ye Chen anymore.

Cen You’s underlings exchanged a look between them and nodded.
Cen You looked at the Blood Wolf Daemon Kings. “Three Wolf Kings, we apologize for this incident today. We shall make it up to you three Wolf Kings some other day.”
The Blood Wolf Daemon Kings snorted indifferently. They took their forces and left. The four Daemon Kings charged toward the direction Ye Chen went.
Cen You asked one of the Daemon Kings, “Will the young man successfully escape with the Leo King?”
“I’m not sure,” the Daemon King responded by shaking his head. “But the young man managed to somehow disappear. I cannot even detect him with my Psyche. Perhaps he had some sort of secret technique up his sleeve to help him evade the Daemon King’s pursuit.”
Cen You nodded slightly. He was feeling very uneasy. Even if the Leo King managed to escape, the Leo King’s Palace had already suffered great loss. If the Leo King could not escape, he was going to take the remaining forces of the Leo King’s Palace under the banner of the Thunder Cliff. It would not do the Thunder Cliff any harm anyway.
The five Daemon Kings of the Wolven Kingdom arrived at the location where Ye Chen had disappeared. They looked around them but could see no signs of Ye Chen.
“Three Wolf Kings, what do we do now?”
The Blood Wolf Daemon King snorted. “Search! Search every nook and cranny and if you encounter Tong Tian, kill him! His Psyche must be greatly wounded after suspending the secret technique. It’s going to take him more than a few months to recover. At his current strength, he’s hardly above a Mystique Venerable Rank fighter!”
The group of demon wolves began searching the area.
Inside the Heavenly Astra Seal.
The space within the Heavenly Astra Seal was quite spacious. Despite there being so many people inside here, it still did not seem too crowded.
“What’s this place?” The Leo King tried to hold himself together and surveyed the area.
“Duke!”
“Leo King!”
Ji Lei and the others went to their knees, their eyes were drowned in tears. They thought they would never see the Leo King again. Unbelievably, Ye Chen had managed to save the Leo King too so they were greatly thankful. Even if Ye Chen commanded them to their deaths this very moment, they would do so without a second thought.
Tong Tian the Leo King sighed. They were left in shambles this time. The Leo King’s Palace was nearly destroyed.
The Leo King’s Palace had already been a shadow of its former self for a long time. For thousands of years, there were no powerful individuals among them to succeed the name of the clan as it was just a few old members representing the clan. They only came to the seventh floor of the Soul Pagoda because they were left with no other choice. They hoped to get their hands on some treasure to help the young ones grow stronger. Nobody had expected a war with the Wolven Kingdom to break out.
It was not so easy for the Wolven Kingdom either since the Leo King’s Palace could put up a fight of their own. Only, they did not expect that the three Wolf Kings of the Wolven Kingdom wanted to take down the Leo King’s Palace so desperately.
Zi Ming’s death had greatly impacted the Leo King. He was drowned in sorrow mourning the loss of his dear friend. He was planning to take the Wolven Kingdom down with him. Somehow the situation turned around and he was saved by a young man.
Tong Tian the Leo King was just about to ask Ye Chen what kind of place this was when he felt a gigantic presence far away. It was a humongous lion, engulfed in raging purple flames. A lioness sat beside the lion. More importantly, the lion had purple flames. He could tell this was the legendary Purple-fire Astra Lion!
Tong Tian the Leo King sensed a terrifying aura oozing from the Purple-fire Astra Lion, even his Psyche trembled before that aura.
Tong Tian the Leo King approached, trembling. He held his fist together and greeted respectfully, “I’m of the Celestial Brown Lion Clan. It’s a great honor to meet my ancestor.”
When they heard the Leo King, Ji Lei and the others were surprised. They raised their heads and said one after another, “It’s a great honor to meet our ancestor.”
“No need for the pleasantries.” Master Lion was annoyed and brushed them away. He glanced at Tong Tian the Leo King. “You’re Tong Tian, the current acting Leo King of the Leo King’s Palace? A measly top Daemon King Rank? You were nearly killed by three demon wolves and had to resort to using the lion clan’s Aurum Heaven technique just to deal with them. You bring shame to the lion clan. Is this what our clan has come to?”
When Tong Tian the Leo King heard Master Lion reprimanding him, his cheeks turned beet red. He was ashamed.
“Your descendants have brought shame to the lion clan.” Tong Tian the Leo King lowered his head. He was very humble before Master Lion. He could sense that Master Lion was an ancient almighty being. The place they were in must be a special space. If the ancestor went out there himself, the Wolven Kingdom would be easily put in their place. Even the Tribunal Council would not dare pick a fight with them.
“I don’t have disgraceful descendants like you lot. I’m going to sleep now. Once you guys had your fill here, get out of here and stop disturbing me.” Master Lion waved his paws and then got down to sleep.
Tong Tian the Leo King smiled bitterly. He glanced at Ye Chen who was beside him. Ye Chen possessed the purple flame as well so he presumed Ye Chen was the direct descendant of the Purple-fire Astra Lion. He wanted to ask Ye Chen to put in a few good words for him.
The younglings behind Tong Tian the Leo King exchanged glances with one another. From what they could tell, the giant lion with purple flames arising from it should be some sort of ancestor of the lion clan. They did not expect the Leo King to be slighted in such a manner, but they knew better than to interject.
