Zhou Yan looked at the images transmitted by the reconnaissance aircraft and saw that the many varieties of sub-dragons were often food and prey.
But at this moment, they were all gathered together, heading towards the territory, like an army attacking.
The most important thing was that many of the sub-dragons were enormous, tens or even hundreds of meters in size, and there were many of them.
This was not the most crucial part. The most critical aspect was that there were over a dozen King-level sub-dragons, their auras like ten dragon kings leading their massive sub-dragon legions towards the territory.
The atmosphere was heavy.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by thunder and lightning!
A massive storm was approaching!
Zhou Yan had never encountered such a situation before and did not know why the territory was unable to move.
This heightened his sense of crisis.
However, Zhou Yan was not worried. The territory had many defensive towers, most of them top-tier, each capable of unleashing terrifying power.
Coupled with over 300,000 soldiers in the territory, and even two powerful cultivators at the Land Immortal realm.
"Pass my order, summon all the civil and military officials for a meeting," Zhou Yan commanded.
"Yes!" Yin Lihua, Si Teng, Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, and others immediately began summoning the important civil and military officials of the territory to the Celestial Emperor's Palace for the meeting.
This was the first emergency meeting of the territory, and it was sudden. Even Zhou Yan himself had not expected such an event to occur.
He felt that this matter was not simple, as if some unknown entity in the darkness was orchestrating it all.
This made him feel uneasy, but it was only unease, not fear or dread.
Zhou Yan would not be afraid, nor could he be.
Fear was only for his enemies. As a lord, one must always learn to overcome fear.
In the Divine King's Hall within the Celestial Emperor's Palace, Zhou Yan sat on the Divine King's throne, symbolizing supreme honor.
Beside him were his many women: Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Sun Shangxiang, Yin Lihua, Cai Yan, Nie Xiaoqian...
Below, on the left sat the civil officials: Xiao He, Fang Xuanling, Zhang Liang, Xun Yu, Zhang Zhao, Guan Zhong, Zhu Ge Jin, Li Si, Han Fei, Lu Su, and others.
On the right were more: Bai Qi, Chen Qingzhi, Gao Shun, Li Guang, Xie Xuan, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Qin Qiong...
Zhou Yan explained the situation of over a dozen King-level sub-dragons surrounding the territory and the inability to teleport away.
Although everyone was surprised, they believed there must be a reason. While they were unsure what it was, they felt it was best to focus on defense first.
This situation was extremely strange. Zhou Yan gave an order: "Bai Qi!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Bai Qi stepped forward to respond.
"To be safe, assign the generals defending the city gates. They must not let these monsters damage the territory and must keep them outside!" Zhou Yan ordered.
"Your subordinate receives the order!" Bai Qi replied, standing up. With the fusion of the God of Slaughter's Eye, Bai Qi's killing intent was even more profound, and his strength greater. A single glance could instill fear in his enemies.
This was Bai Qi, a general born for killing.
Bai Qi stepped forward and addressed the generals behind him: "All generals, heed my command, gather the soldiers!"
"Yes!"
All the generals left to make arrangements. Just then, Zhou Yan suddenly felt a peculiar sensation heading towards the territory.
He had not noticed it before, but standing on the Divine King's throne in the Celestial Emperor's Palace, he seemed to see a vague dark shadow observing the territory.
Suddenly, Li Chungan and Zhao Xuansu appeared before Zhou Yan and said, "A powerful aura has locked onto this place."
"What? An aura has locked onto the territory?" Zhou Yan was shocked that they had also sensed the aura.
"That aura is no weaker than ours. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Land Immortal realm sub-dragon. I felt a powerful dragon's might, and it was that aura that woke me."
Li Chungan and Zhao Xuansu both looked in the same direction. Although the other party had not appeared, they did not dare to be careless. Those at their level could reach here quickly if they wished.
"Lord, as the two esteemed ones have said, it is likely that the territory cannot be teleported away because of this powerful aura. If we can resolve the situation with the monsters outside, I believe the other party will retreat, especially since our territory also has two Land Immortal realm experts," Zhang Liang said, stepping forward after hearing Li Chungan and Zhao Xuansu.
"Can the two of you pinpoint the exact location of that entity?" Guan Zhong inquired.
"You mean for us to take the initiative?" Li Chungan guessed.
"No, we just want to understand why they are attacking our territory," Guan Zhong replied. "Everything has a cause and effect. They would not do this without reason. After all, dragons at the Land Immortal realm must possess immense power. If we can resolve this peacefully, it would be better than offending such a powerful being."
"I second that motion," Han Fei also stepped forward, strongly agreeing with Guan Zhong's statement.
Others also felt there was no need to offend a powerful Land Immortal realm dragon. Although their territory did not fear the other party, resolving the issue peacefully would be ideal.
Zhou Yan still intended to return here to capture mounts in the future, so he naturally did not want to conflict with such a powerful being. He nodded and asked, "Can the two of you determine their direction?"
"Leave this to me. Li Chungan is not skilled in this regard," Zhao Xuansu volunteered. While he might not be Li Chungan's match, he was confident in his mastery of the Five Elements, formations, divination, fortune-telling, reconnaissance, and Daoist arts.
Zhao Xuansu manipulated the Five Elements with his hands, and the heavens, earth, Qian, and Kun, as well as the Eight Trigrams, appeared in his grasp. A powerful fluctuation erupted from him, and he transformed into a beam of immortal light, soaring into the sky.
"I'll go too." Li Chungan stepped on the void, covering thousands of miles in an instant, and disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Yan could only wait for the results. However, he would not halt the mobilization of his army. For any situation, all preparations must be made.
The soldiers of the entire territory were assembling, and the sub-dragons outside the territory were getting closer and closer.
A world-shattering battle was about to erupt between the two sides.
On one side was the lord protected by countless defensive towers.
On the other side was a mysterious dragon race with countless powerful sub-dragons.
