Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

The Taoist priest in blue robes, who was talking with the Divine Sparrow Kingdom, suddenly trembled and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

The Sparrow King looked puzzled and hurriedly followed the man outside. When he saw the situation in the sky outside the palace, the Sparrow King was instantly shocked.

"No, that's all..."

Under a clear blue sky, three stars shone brightly, but the two most familiar ones were missing.

For someone at the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm, this means they have already perished. The Divine Sparrow Kingdom now only has one Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm cultivator left.

"Impossible! How could this be!" the Divine Sparrow King roared.

However, at this moment, its roar was completely irrelevant; no matter what it did, it could not avert the death of the two great sparrows, Wind and Thunder.

The Taoist priest in green hurriedly tried to divine the truth, but he felt that the truth was obscured by something, making it impossible for him to reach the truth or determine who had killed the two Sparrow Lords.

That would be a huge problem. If they knew it was the Shang Dynasty that made the move, they could mobilize the demon alliance to put pressure on the Shang Dynasty and force it to pay a heavy price.

However, without evidence to confirm this, the demon alliance would not resort to intimidation, after all, the Shang Dynasty was not a weak enemy.

A head-on confrontation will only result in both sides suffering losses.

"Could it be related to the national treasure that just appeared? Come with me to take a look." The Taoist in green grabbed the Divine Sparrow King, and the two figures disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When they reappeared, they were already at the place where Ning Xiu had just fought with the two Sparrow Lords.

However, Ning Xiu had already disappeared without a trace, leaving only the unburned skeletons of the two Sparrow Kings on the ground, which attracted many wild beasts to gnaw and lick them.

"Get lost." With a flap of its wings, the Divine Sparrow King sent these wild beasts flying for miles, crashing to the ground and smashing them to pieces.

As the remains of a dragon-elephant in the upper realm, they naturally possess immense benefits. If a beast could devour them, it would be a great fortune, and given time, it would surely become a powerful demon.

"Third Ancestor, can you tell who did it? In Qingque Prefecture, only the Dragon Elephant King of the Demon Subduing Commandery exists. It must have been them who killed our clan's expert." The Divine Sparrow King said with red eyes and hatred.

The Taoist priest in blue robes stared intently at the two skeletons with a solemn expression, remaining silent.

After a long while, he shook his head helplessly: "I can't tell. What killed them was a huge will, quite different from the aura of the Shang Dynasty."

The Divine Sparrow King said fiercely, "Then we'll just force the blame onto the Great Shang. That's the outcome we'll get anyway."

The Taoist priest in blue shook his head: "No, it is impossible for two Sparrow Lords to die in the same place at the same time unless they are surrounded and killed by more than five Dragon Elephant Kings. Even if we were to spread this charge, it would be difficult for the Great Shang to defend itself, and it would even seem extremely powerless."

"Two Dragon Elephant Kings, dying in an instant, unable even to escape. What level of existence must they be... Could it be that Qingque Prefecture is hiding a powerful expert at the Inner Realm Saint level?" The Taoist in blue frowned.

The Inner Realm of Saints was already the highest existence it could imagine. As for the Realm of Harmony with Heaven, the Taoist in green robes thought it was impossible just by thinking about it.

If someone of that level were to fight, the two Sparrow Lords of Wind and Thunder would likely bring disaster to the entire Divine Sparrow Kingdom, destroying it in an instant. There would be no situation like this now, where the Taoist in green robes still has the opportunity to bring the Divine Sparrow King to inspect the scene.

"You two have arrived quickly. What have you offended, Master Sparrow, that you have perished so suddenly?"

A voice rang out, and a figure appeared in the sky, walking leisurely and gracefully.

Looking at the faintly glowing Bagua formation behind him, it was Peng Futian who arrived shortly after.

"Peng Futian!" Upon seeing this Grand Protector of Qingque Prefecture, who had been stationed there for many years, the Divine Sparrow King, already furious over the deaths of two Sparrow Lords, could no longer contain himself.

He immediately roared, "The Divine Sparrow Kingdom and the Great Shang have been locked in a stalemate for many years without ever making a move. Are you trying to provoke a war between the two races by acting like this today!"

Peng Futian said very sincerely, "I don't know anything, Divine Sparrow King. Let's be reasonable. The fact that these two Sparrow Kings have perished here means that they acted together. Do you think I, Peng Futian, have the strength to kill two Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivators in such a short time, or does the one in my department who just broke through to the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm today have the strength? Or do you think the two of us combined have the strength?"

"If killing a Dragon Elephant Realm expert were that easy, would I, Peng Futian, have survived in Qingque Prefecture for so many years? What do you think?"

Faced with Peng Futian's statement, the Divine Sparrow King had no way to respond, since what Peng Futian said was the truth.

Even if someone in the Dragon-Elephant Realm can't win a fight, they can still escape if they want to, unless the number of enemies is so large that escape is impossible.

However, Qingque Prefecture clearly did not have that many Dragon Elephant Realm experts just now.

"Lord Peng, please forgive us. The Divine Sparrow Kingdom had no intention of misunderstanding the Great Shang. Today's events must have been the work of someone else." The Taoist in blue bowed and said calmly.

Peng Futian looked at this person with some doubt. Having dealt with Qingque Prefecture for so many years, he had no idea that the Divine Sparrow King had such a master who could speak in front of the Divine Sparrow King.

Although the other party had transformed into human form, Peng Futian could clearly sense the demonic aura emanating from it, indicating that it was a powerful demon.

"And who are you, sir?" Peng Futian asked.

"The ancient clan of the divine sparrow, the sparrow of the three yin."

Hundreds of years ago, a demon race calling themselves the Divine Sparrow Clan migrated to Qingque Prefecture, occupied the area, and established a demon kingdom.

At that time, the Divine Sparrow Clan had five powerful members, all of whom were eccentric, fierce, and cruel. It was only when the Three Saints joined forces that the Divine Sparrow Clan was slaughtered, leaving them terrified and their blood flowing like a river.

The two sides then agreed to use Qingque Prefecture as the boundary and not to invade each other's territory.

Later, a rebellion broke out among the Divine Sparrow Clan, and another branch took advantage of the weakness of the main clan to seize the throne, which is the Divine Sparrow Clan of today.

The main family of that clan is the old clan of the Divine Sparrow. Those who can still speak those four words today must have an extraordinary background.

After a moment of contemplation, Peng Futian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and instantly remembered what kind of existence this Que Sanyin was.

The other party turned out to be one of the five demons of the Divine Sparrow Clan hundreds of years ago, ranking third, and belonging to the same era as the Three Saints.

According to records, three of the five demons were killed, including the Sparrow Three Yin.

What's going on here? Is this great demon, also known as Que Sanyin, another kind of demon, or is it a spirit that has returned from a dead body?

“But three hundred years ago, the Azure Feather Buried the Sky Sparrow Sanyin,” Peng Futian asked.

"I am ashamed to say that after being defeated by the Martial Saint, I no longer dare to call myself by that name. The Three Saints of the Great Shang Dynasty are unparalleled in the world." The Taoist in blue shook his head and smiled faintly.

Peng Futian glanced at the sky, his expression grave.

If there are no extra destiny stars, then what does this mean? Did Que Sanyin break through to the Upper Realm of Dragon and Elephant, or did he not reach the Upper Realm of Dragon and Elephant?

This powerful demon from three hundred years ago has reappeared in the world, and there must be a huge hidden danger involved.

"Lord Peng, everyone is already aware of the situation in the Divine Sparrow Kingdom. With the fall of the two Dragon Elephant Kings, the Divine Sparrow Kingdom is destined to lose its ability to dominate the Azure Sparrow State in the future. May we have a talk?"

Peng Futian said, "What do you want to talk about?"

Que Sanyin pointed to the ground beneath his feet: "Let's talk about the land of Qingque Prefecture, and the future relationship between the Divine Sparrow Kingdom and the Great Shang."

The Divine Sparrow King looked at Sparrow Three Yin with surprise, somewhat not understanding what the Third Ancestor meant by those words.

Even if the Divine Sparrow Kingdom lost two Dragon Elephant Realm experts, what does that have to do with the Great Shang Dynasty? If they really want to take this piece of fat meat, it should be the other demon kingdoms in the surrounding states that make the first move.

"I, Que Sanyin, representing the Divine Sparrow Kingdom, hope to reconcile with the Great Shang Dynasty. Qingque Prefecture will be returned to the Great Shang Dynasty. I also hope that the Great Shang Dynasty will reserve the land around the Imperial Palace for the Divine Sparrow Kingdom, so that the Divine Sparrow people can guard the border for the Great Shang Dynasty and fight against other demon races for the Demon Subduing Division. As a token of sincerity, the Divine Sparrow King can voluntarily be imprisoned in the Great Shang Dynasty's Demon Suppression Prison to show the cooperation between the two races."

The Divine Sparrow King was completely dumbfounded. The cooperation between the two countries was already a world-shaking event. Even if you wanted to be the pioneer, why would you use yourself as a bargaining chip?

You're so noble and virtuous, but I'm unlucky and I'll go to jail for you.

"Third Ancestor!" the Divine Sparrow King exclaimed urgently.

For a dignified Dragon-Elephant Realm expert to be imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison is something no one could accept, even if it were the former strongest being of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom. The Divine Sparrow King was a million times unwilling.

He immediately struck Que Sanyin with a palm: "I understand that you are the reincarnation of my ancestor, and I treat you with great respect. But when will you, in your ancestor's position, dare to make me do things your way?"

Chapter 155 [155] The True Yang Emperor and the Black Demon Ancestor

The Divine Sparrow Clan once had five powerful ancestors, who indeed died at the hands of the Three Saints of the Great Shang Dynasty hundreds of years ago.

However, few people know that the third-ranked Divine Sparrow Ancestor Sparrow Three Yin has the bloodline of Yin Owl, which has the ability to bring back the soul and reincarnate.

Que Sanyin was later secretly resurrected and hid in the Divine Sparrow Kingdom. This was something that even the Three Saints did not know; only the successive Divine Sparrow Kings knew about it.

However, after Que Sanyin was resurrected, his strength was far less than before. In the eyes of the successive Divine Sparrow Kings, Que Sanyin was only left with the status of a mascot.

His respect for the ancestor was only shown in ordinary times. Now he learned that Que Sanyin was planning to sell himself to save the Divine Sparrow Kingdom, and even planned to make the Divine Sparrow Kingdom surrender to the Great Shang and submit to the Great Shang.

This was something the Divine Sparrow King simply could not tolerate, so he was filled with rage and decided to kill this ignorant old ancestor first.

In the eyes of the Divine Sparrow King, with his Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivation, dealing with a Soul Returning Ancestor would be an easy task.

But something unexpected happened. Before its claws could strike Sparrow Three Yin, an invisible force appeared and blocked the Divine Sparrow King's attack, preventing it from advancing any further.

Peng Futian looked suspicious. He knew that the Divine Sparrow King was a veteran Dragon Elephant King. Even he himself wouldn't dare say that he could withstand a single blow from it so easily.

There are indeed no other celestial stars in the sky, so what's going on with Que Sanyin?

"Little bird, how dare you speak to your ancestor like that? You're tired of living, aren't you? You should know that if it weren't for a few of our ancestors risking their lives for the Divine Sparrow Kingdom back then, you wouldn't be the Divine Sparrow King today, you would have lost your life long ago."

Que Sanyin revealed a cold smile, a smile that was extremely cold and ruthless. Although it was a smile, it felt like the chill of winter, making one tremble all over.

The Divine Sparrow King had a strange premonition, but before it could react, Sparrow Three Yin had already moved.

Que Sanyin grabbed the Divine Sparrow King's wrist, gently twisted it, and forcefully pressed him to the ground.

Click click click click!

Strange noises came from the bones in the Sparrow King's arm, and a broken bone pierced out of its arm, making it look like a bloody mess.

"Ancestor! Ancestor! I was wrong..." the Divine Sparrow King hurriedly shouted and begged for mercy.

He clearly sensed that the ancestor's strength was definitely not what the previous Divine Sparrow Kings had imagined; he was no longer as powerful as he had been hundreds of years ago.

All the sparrow demons were wrong; the Three Ancestors were incredibly strong! Stronger than any demon could have imagined.

Despite lacking a destiny star, he was able to unleash the strength of the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm. Could it be that after Que Sanyin returned to life, he embarked on a completely new path that no one had ever heard of before?

"Lord Peng, how about offering the current Divine Sparrow King as a hostage, imprisoning him in the Demon Suppression Prison under the guard of your Demon Subduing Division? I can offer this with utmost sincerity," Que Sanyin said to Peng Futian with a smile.

Peng Futian was at a loss for words. When Que Sanyin acted out, it was indeed not as it appeared.

Profound, infinite, and unfathomable.

This was Peng Futian's feeling. Perhaps Que Sanyin's strength was far superior to his own. Could such a powerful demon race expert be believed to lead the Divine Sparrow Kingdom to surrender to the Great Shang?

Anyway, Peng Futian didn't believe it at all.

“This matter is of great importance. I must first report it to the Emperor and let him make a decision. What do you think?” Peng Futian asked in return.

Qingque Prefecture now has two merchants at the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm. Although Peng Futian is wary of Que Sanyin, he is not afraid at all. No matter how strong Que Sanyin is, unless he is above the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm, he has no chance of being a match for Peng Futian and Ning Xiu working together.

If Que Sanyin had truly reached the realm above the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm, he wouldn't be wasting so much time talking to me now; I would probably be killed on the spot.

"It's alright. I've shown my sincerity, and I believe the Emperor of the Great Shang will see it. From this day forward, the Divine Sparrow Kingdom will forever treat the Great Shang with the utmost sincerity. Let's leave it at that for today. I'll take the Divine Sparrow King back with me. If the Emperor agrees, Lord Peng can come to the Divine Sparrow Kingdom to retrieve him at any time." As soon as Que Sanyin finished speaking, he carried the injured Divine Sparrow King away from the place.

Watching its swift departure in the blink of an eye, Peng Futian couldn't help but ponder, wondering what Que Sanyin was up to.

Before the fall of Feng Lei Que Gong, the Shang Dynasty and the Divine Sparrow Kingdom had been clashing openly and covertly for many years. If it weren't for the alliance with the demon race, the Shang Dynasty would have launched another military campaign against Qing Que Prefecture to reclaim its lost territory long ago.

Now, Que Sanyin has chosen to return Qingque Prefecture to the Shang Dynasty, only needing to retain the land of Shenque Kingdom. Furthermore, Shenque Kingdom will serve as the Shang Dynasty's army in future wars against other demon races.

This would have been unthinkable in the past, but now it has truly happened.
