"Alright! I'll remember your words. I look forward to it!"
The Great Priest laughed coldly.
"Fine, just wait and see! I fear that you might not even be able to live that long!"
Henry also sneered.
"If that's the case, you can go to the Restricted Zones! I hope that you can find a new Taoist companion in a wider space!"
The Great Priest smiled.
"What exactly is in the Restricted Zones?"
Henry asked curiously.
"You'll find out when you get there."
"Alright, but..." Henry picked his ear. "I've heard that it's dangerous in the Restricted Zones. Aren't you afraid that I might die in there?"
"Not at all!"
"Why not?"
"Because of this."
The Great Priest produced a white feather from his sleeve and said, "Take this white feather. If you encounter any danger, just pull it out. All creatures of the Restricted Zones would not dare to harm you upon seeing it!"
"Thanks!"
Henry unceremoniously put the white feather away.
...A month later, in a valley within the imperial capital of Grand Xia.
Thousands of people gathered in front of a massive cliff.
The cliff was assembled by strange stones. It looked like an ancient door.
"Lord Xia, please open up the Forbidden Zones!"
Milborne stood in front of the cliff with hundreds of fighters selected from the tournament of the Thundercloud Empire.
"Cloud Emperor, are you sure... you're insisting on entering the Restricted Zones?"
Nahir looked at Milborne and smiled. "No one from the Sacred Empire dares to come here again. Does your Thundercloud Empire not fear the Hong Clan?"
"The Hong Clan?
"Humph! Don't try to scare me by mentioning them!"
Milborne snorted coldly. "Back then in Broken Dragon Valley, only you people of the Xia Dynasty survived. Do you think that we would just believe whatever you say?"
"The people who had survived the incident in Broken Dragon Valley back then were not just people of the Grand Xia Dynasty. Henry, the Devil Warrior of the Sacred Empire survived too. However, his real name is Henry Zhang! If you don't believe us, you can ask Henry Zhang about it!"
Nahir looked to Henry, who was standing behind the crowd.
It was clear enough that Henry was talking to the silver- haired Cesia, and beside him were the Divine Baby, Gardiner, and Ranjeet.
"How did you become the Devil Warrior of the Thundercloud Empire?"
Asked Henry.
"I heard that the Vast Thousand Worlds is going to hold a big tournament to select people to enter the Restricted Zones. I knew that you'd definitely want to go there, so I descended Wu Mountain and came here."
Cesia said as she laughed, "However, I fear that I might expose your identity, so I didn't go to the Sacred Empire. Instead, I went to the tournament held by the Thundercloud Empire. I believed that I'd definitely be able to meet you after entering the
Restricted Zone!"
"Alright then, let's go to the Restricted Zones together!"
Henry led all of them to the front of the cliff.
"Henry Zhang...although he's the Devil Warrior of the Sacred Empire, his identity is still a mystery. He could be a member of your Grand Xia Dynasty, we can't possibly trust his words!"
Milborne laughed coldly. "The Thundercloud Empire shall abide by our previous agreement today no matter what. We will enter the Restricted Zones together with the men of the Grand Xia Dynasty!"
"I'm just giving you a friendly warning. Since you're not afraid of the punishment from the Hong Clan, I shall not argue any further with you!"
Nahir smiled again.
"The Hong Clan?
It was a huge stone lock.
On the top of the stone lock, a fierce monster with its jaws wide open was carved onto it! Nahir put his fingers into the mouth of the stone carving of the monster, and slid his middle finger across its sharp teeth.
A streak of blood emerged! The blood from Nahir's finger spurted into the mouth of the stone carving of the monster.
"Hummmm!"
A dazzling blue light suddenly emitted from the cliff! Revealing a large door formed by curtains of light.
It was at least a hundred meters tall! "Roar!"
All of a sudden, an earth-shattering roar of a fierce beast sounded! Countless monstrous heads of beasts emerged from the door, twisting and turning vigorously, as if they were about to charge out of the door of light! "Whoa!"
Everyone was so badly frightened that they took a huge step back! The enormous heads of the beasts that had emerged were ferocious and terrifying! "The Restricted Zones today has become much more terrifying than it used to be five hundred years ago!"
Nahir looked at the beasts and said to Ludwig,
Ludwig, remember my words. Be careful!"
"Father, don't you worry! I will make my return with all of these men triumphantly!"
As Ludwig said as he put on his helmet.
He had been released by Diarmi and had been mocked by the Crown Prince and the other princes. His status in the Grand Xia Dynasty had suffered quite a fair bit.
However, Nahir ignored what everyone had to say about Ludwig and insisted on letting Ludwig lead his men into the Restricted Zones.
Naturally, Ludwig had to do his best! Everyone there knew that if they could successfully suppress the chaos within the Restricted Zones, Ludwig would be the undisputed future Imperial Lord of the Grand Xia Dynasty!
Nahir nodded.
"Yes!"
Ludwig led the fully armed members of the royal family and entered the door of light on the cliff without a second of hesitation! Milborne also wanted to go in with the rest of his men.
"Cloud Emperor, as the greatest leader of the Thundercloud Empire, do you also intend to personally take a trip to the Restricted Zones?"
"Aren't you afraid... that you won't be able to return alive?" Nahir asked with a faint smile.
