Chapter 25 The Four Divine Beast Families of Qianyang Prefecture
Jag has been in Menglan City for three hundred years, and has never once met Hyde, the leader of the Menglan City Purple Thorn Army.
For the past three hundred years, Hyde has been away and has never returned.
"It's time to meet him."
Jag stood up and walked out of the room.
When he arrived outside the base, he found that all the squad leaders except for the squad on duty had arrived, especially the three new squads, the ninth, tenth and eleventh, which were all present.
"team leader."
Jag walked up behind Debra.
"You've arrived." Debra nodded to Jag. "The captain will be here soon. Since it's our first meeting, our entire team should be present to make it more formal."
"Yes."
The group waited outside the castle at their encampment.
A streak of light flew from the horizon without slowing down, flying straight over the city wall and heading towards the garrison.
There aren't many people who dare to fly like that within the city, and everyone knew that it must be Hyde.
A stream of light fell outside the castle, revealing a metallic life form in the shape of a giant blue dragon.
"That's right!"
Upon seeing this, Jag's expression changed.
The metal life form's winding shape is very similar to that of a blue dragon.
The Azure Dragon is a supreme god, and in countless planes, only one family dares to use a metallic life form of this shape—that family is the Four Divine Beasts!
A portal opened on the side of the metallic lifeform, and two men walked out side by side.
The person on the left is tall and slender, with long blue hair that reaches her waist, and a beautiful face like a woman.
"That was Hyde."
Although it was the first time Jag had met the captain of the Bauhinia Army of Dreamland City, he recognized him immediately because Hyde's Floating Crystal Ball was in the camp.
Beside Hyde stood a gloomy-faced, red-haired youth with sharp eyes and an imposing aura, seemingly disregarding everyone.
"Could he be a member of the Four Divine Beasts family?" Jag wondered to himself.
After Hyde and the red-haired youth emerged from the metallic lifeform, a gaunt old man followed closely behind the red-haired youth.
Behind them was a group of young men and women, numbering twenty or thirty, all of whom were only lower-level gods.
"Captain, you're back."
Julian, the squad leader of the first squad, stepped forward to greet Hyde.
Hyde nodded and instructed, "Julian, prepare a banquet. I need to entertain Young Master Bernard of the Four Divine Beasts family."
"Yes." Julian immediately sent a team member to prepare.
Hyde looked at the squad leaders in front of the castle, especially the three new squad leaders, including Debra.
Julian introduced them at the opportune moment: "Captain, these are the new squad leaders: Debra, Hora, and Stott."
Debra and the other two said in unison, "Greetings, Captain Hyde."
Hyde nodded and asked gently, "Are you adjusting well to life in Dreamland?"
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. We've all adapted."
"That's good."
Hyde glanced at the many Bauhinia Army members present.
"The squad leaders, stay behind and help me entertain Young Master Bernard. The rest of you can go back."
"Yes."
The group did as instructed and left, returning to the castle.
Although Jaeger was curious as to why the members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan would come to Dreamland City with Hyde, he was not the squad leader and could only return to his room first.
The next day, when Jag saw Debra, he immediately asked the question that had been on his mind.
Debra explained, "I heard from the other squad leaders that Captain Hyde has been very close to the Four Divine Beasts family."
"The branch of the Four Divine Beasts family in Qianyang Prefecture belongs to the Azure Dragon Clan. They live in Luoxia Valley, 30 million miles away from Menglan City. The branch's patriarch, Stavin, is a seven-star demon powerhouse. Hyde went to visit a friend before and went to Luoxia Valley to see Stavin. Bernard is Stavin's only son."
At this point, Debra suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Jeg, when you were at headquarters, did you hear about the annihilation of a Purple Thorn Army squad in Dreamland City?"
Jag nodded: "It's said that he was killed by a madman whose target was the Four Divine Beasts Clan. The Purple Thorn Army squad was implicated."
"That's right, that madman's real target was Bernard!"
Jag was startled.
Debra continued, "That madman was named Akili. He was originally a genius of the Crowley family. The Crowley family was considered a middle-class family in Thousand Sun Prefecture. The strongest member of the family was a six-star demon. Later, they were destroyed by Bernard, and the family's property was also seized."
"Bernard himself is only a five-star demon, but he is a member of the Four Divine Beasts family and possesses the power of the main god. With the blessing of the main god's power, even a five-star demon can easily kill a six-star demon."
"The Crowley family was wiped out, and Akili also disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, he was already a seven-star demon powerhouse."
"At that time, Bernard was in Dreamland City dealing with his family's businesses in the city. After finishing his business, he was about to return to Sunset Valley. Hyde sent a small squad of the Purple Thorn Army to escort him. On the way, they encountered an attack by Akili. In that battle, Bernard's main body and his strongest divine avatar were both killed by Akili, leaving only this ordinary high-level divine avatar."
"When the news reached Menglan City, Hyde was furious. He was on good terms with Staven, and Bernard was killed while being escorted by the Purple Thorn Army. Of course, he couldn't sit still. He immediately led a few squads to hunt down Akili, but Akili was no weaker than Hyde and escaped from Hyde's grasp."
"Since then, perhaps in an effort to mend relations, Hyde has been visiting Sunset Valley even more often."
"As for this time, I heard them say at the banquet that Bernard was taking a group of young clansmen from Sunset Valley to the ancestral land of the Four Divine Beasts Clan, the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. They happened to be passing through Dreamland City, so they came with Hyde."
"Going to the Tianji Mountains? Is it for the ancestral temple baptism?" Jage asked curiously.
In the original story, the Four Divine Beasts Clan would conduct a ancestral shrine baptism for its members every eighty years, allowing them to awaken the bloodline of the Four Divine Beasts within them and directly become lower-level gods.
"You also know about the ancestral baptism of the Four Divine Beasts families?" Debra raised an eyebrow.
"I've heard of them." Jag said calmly. The Four Divine Beasts families are spread across various planes and are very famous. Their family's ancestral shrine baptism is not a big secret.
Debra, unsuspecting, replied, "No, ancestral baptisms can also be performed in Sunset Valley."
"Hmm?" Jag asked, somewhat surprised.
However, he quickly realized that the ancestral baptism of the Four Divine Beasts Clan in the original story was held in the Tianji Mountain Range because after the fall of the Four Divine Beasts' main god, all the disciples of the Four Divine Beasts Clan returned to the Tianji Mountain Range, so they could naturally undergo the ancestral baptism together.
However, in this era, the Four Divine Beasts Clan is still at its peak, with its members spread across various planes. Gathering young members from various planes to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range would take more than eighty years just for the journey, which is simply unrealistic.
Moreover, the items needed for ancestral hall baptism, such as dragon crystals, are not particularly valuable. There is no need to go all the way to the Tianji Mountain Range. It is more convenient for each branch to conduct ancestral hall baptism on its own.
"Jeg," Debra's expression suddenly turned serious, "while Bernard is in Dreamland, we should try to minimize contact."
