Chapter 2070 Three Way War

The actions of the Rock Drop kingdom came as a shock to Lin Mu and the others.

"They conquered the Ring Mist Kingdom? How's that even possible?" this time it was Crown Prince Feng Shun that asked.

He knew a bit about the Eight Kingdom alliance as well as where their relative strengths laid. Thus he knew that while the Ring mist Kingdom might have lost their powerhouse, it still didn't make sense for the Rock Drop Kingdom to be able to do that. At the very least, they wouldn't be able to do it silently. They might still have their own powerhouse, but that didn't mean that it would be enough to overwhelm an entire kingdom in one go. "It is still a mystery." Qiao De answered, shaking his head. "All the intelligence sources we had in the Ring Mist Kingdom as well as the Rock Drop Kingdom seem to have been eliminated. Because of this we don't know how it happened. But if they can erase the hidden intelligence agents like that, it does make sense that they could replicate the same for the Ring Mist Kingdom." He explained.

"What about the Royal family?" Crown Prince Feng Shun furrowed his brows.

"All gone." Qiao De answered. "Hmm... The information you got seems to be a bit more detailed than ours." Crown Prince Feng Shun replied, admitting that they were lacking in some aspects.

The Black Candle Pavilion was a widespread power and had established links all over the Rust Sky world and even on other worlds. As such, it was understandable that they were able to be on top of the other empires despite having lower power.

"I must admit I got a bit lucky with it." Qiao De replied. "The branches of the Black Candle Pavilion both the kingdoms sensed the danger and escaped beforehand. They also spread all the information they had about the situation to the other branches, which is why I had this report." He explained.

"I see... But still, for the Rock Drop kingdom to break the alliance... has it also decided to compete for the land of the Eight Kingdoms?" Lin Mu muttered.

"There is a chance... but it is quite suspicious as to how they managed to accomplish this. At the very least, their actions have made the Great Wave Kingdom wary too and now they will have to watch both sides. On the front they'll be fighting against the Purple Sparrow Kingdom while on the back they have the rising threat of the Rock Drop kingdom." Qiao De stated.

~humm~

"Huh?" The Crown Prince read the message on it and became a bit tense.

"What is it?" Daoist Chu asked, seeing his friend.

"The Imperial Court has confirmed the rumors are true... The three powerhouses were really killed." Feng Shun stated.

"How did they confirm this?" Lin Mu asked, wondering what kind of method they used.

~shua~

In response, the Crown Prince projected a formation screen from his jade slip, showing the information. Three faces appeared on it, all of which belonged to old elders.

"These are the three powerhouses that were killed. All of them were Peak Immortals at the Seventh Tribulation Stage and were quite close to reaching the Transcendent Immortal stage too." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated before pointing to one of the faces. "Ancestor Teo who belonged to the Purple Sparrow Kingdom was killed on the Final day of the Tournament of the Four Guardian beasts. This was witnessed personally by Emperor Feng." He revealed, surprising everyone.

"He witnessed it personally?" Qiao De hadn't expected that.
