Chapter 260 Battlefield
In a quaint ancient estate far within the imperial capital,
four elderly men with white hair and serious expressions were seated in the courtyard.
"When will the Central King arrive?"
One of the elders asked in a deep voice, breaking the silence of the courtyard.
Another raised his eyebrows and replied solemnly, "He's on the way, should be arriving soon."
"Creak!"
As his words fell, a sharp sound of brakes echoed from outside the courtyard.
Then, a tall figure strode into the courtyard—a man, nearly six-foot-three, burly and with a resolute face.
"Central King!"
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, all four elders rose to their feet and respectfully said.
The Central King nodded slightly and spoke, "Elders, there's no need for such courtesy. What matter required such urgent summoning?"

The Dragon Kingdom was vast, not only featuring four major war zones in the southeast, northwest, and central regions represented by the imperial capital.
Although the central region did not experience warfare, as the heart of the entire Dragon Kingdom, its security far surpassed that of the four major war zones.
This Central King was the ruler of the central region and held a higher status in the Dragon Kingdom than war zone kings such as Ye Ling.
However, the Central King seldom left seclusion; unless a major event occurred in the central region, he would absolutely not exit his retreat.
Today's appearance of the Central King meant that a significant event was unfolding!
The four elders present in the yard were all elders from the Protectorate Pavilion and held the most power within it.
"The battlefield beyond the domain... is about to open..."
The lead elder began.
Hearing this, the Central King's pupils dilated suddenly, and a surge of fierceness rushed through him.
A terrifying aura burst forth instantly, spreading in all directions from the Central King's body.
The Central King looked at him and said with a smile, "What's impossible about that? A hundred years ago, there were hardly any War Kings within the bounds of our Dragon Kingdom. And now, how many War Kings exist on this land?"
"The times are changing. This opening of the battlefield beyond the domain is an opportunity for our Dragon Kingdom!"
"Having suffered nearly a century of humiliation, this time our Dragon Kingdom must wash away this disgrace!"
The Central King's voice was forceful, and his words even carried a chilling intent to kill.
The four elders all nodded, and no one spoke further.
"Continue having the scouts report back. I need to know the exact timing of the opening of the battlefield beyond the domain, and what realms the warriors sent by those countries are in!"
The Central King spoke again.
Then he turned and strode out of the courtyard. His towering figure seemed capable of propping up the heavens for the Dragon Kingdom, exuding a powerful aura.
"This is indeed a great fortune for our Dragon Kingdom!"
"Not only do we have such a powerhouse as the Central King stationed in the central region, but we also have a powerhouse like the Northern Liao King guarding our frontier!"
"Two Imperial Path realm powerhouses—if this gets out, it's likely to frighten those nations, hahaha!"
After the Central King had left, the Grand Elder stroked his beard and laughed out loud.
The other three elders also shared this excitement, their wrinkled faces brimming with joyful smiles.
Unlike other high-ranking officials in the imperial capital, the four elders of the Protectorate Pavilion and the Central King, both in terms of strength and status, surpassed other powers.
But all five were people who worried about their country and its citizens, never doing anything to harm the national interest for themselves or their families.
In their hearts, the Dragon Kingdom was both home and haven!
"Elder, should we immediately notify the Northern Liao King about this?"
The Second Elder suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the Grand Elder shook his head slightly and then said, "There's no rush. During that incident three years ago, several families from the imperial capital were involved."
"Now that the Northern Liao King has stepped into the Imperial Path realm, how could he possibly not seek retribution against them?"
"The battlefield beyond the domain is just showing some fluctuations now and won't open in the short term. Let's wait for the Northern Liao King's arrival in the imperial capital before discussing further."
The other three elders, upon hearing this, each displayed a sly smile.
An Imperial Path realm powerhouse seeking revenge, even if those families in the imperial capital were renowned, which could withstand the power of an Imperial Path realm warrior?
