Volume 1 Chapter 701 Danger Comes
"Alright, brother, you didn"t disappoint me. Rest well. If there"s anything I need your help with, I"ll come find you." Divine Cloud was very happy to hear this news.
"This fellow must be exhausted recently. Persuading those old fellows must not be easy, right?" Kong Yun no longer thought about these things and put his energy into learning swordsmanship.
The next day, in the palace
"Emperor, this is bad. Lord Liuming suddenly died in his cultivation room last night." The guard who reported this knew that Shen Youming would definitely get angry, so he was very careful.
"What happened? Why did he suddenly die?" Shen Youming looked at the guard with a serious expression. The guard"s heart was chilled by Shen Youming"s gaze.
"According to Lord Luming"s family, Lord Luming ate the Netherworld Fruit by mistake. The power of the Netherworld Fruit broke Lord Luming"s meridians and created the current situation." After the guard finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Shen Youming, wanting to see how Shen Youming"s face looked. However, there was no change.
"Alright, I understand. Tell him to bury himself in a lumber and give his family some compensation." Shen Youming"s eyes were filled with regret, but he wasn"t sad. This meant that Shen Youming"s heart was extremely heartless.
When the guards left the palace, it was as if they were walking around in the gates of h.e.l.l, and the clothes on their backs were drenched in cold sweat.
"Was it really an accidental death?" Divine Serenity slowly knocked on his desk, thinking about something.
"Emperor, the pa.s.sageway will be established in three days." The guard said respectfully.
"I see. You guys go down and prepare to go to the main The universe ." Shen Youming"s tone was extremely cold. This was the att.i.tude of an emperor.
"Yes."
Inside the inn
Divine Cloud "s expression was extremely excited. He looked at Kong Yun and said, "Our chance has finally come. Divine Serenity will leave the Ghost Rakshasa Realm in three days and head to the main The universe . His location is probably in the Misty Star Region." Divine Cloud looked at Kong Yun, but Kong Yun was not very happy.
"What"s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Divine Cloud had some doubts in his heart.
" Divine Serenity went to the main The universe . The people of the main The universe didn"t stop him. If he went, it would be a calamity for the human race. How can I be happy?" Kong Yun looked out of the window at the starry sky, where he could also see stars.
"Yes, I know. I want you to contact your race. Can you give him a blow where he descended and let him return from his injuries?" Divine Cloud began to ask Kong Yun, wanting to know the result of the matter.
"This is not impossible, but it is impossible for us humans to do so. However, with the addition of the Demon G.o.d Race, there is a bit of hope. Let me contact Princ.i.p.al Huangpu to have a look." Kong Yun glanced at Divine Cloud . Divine Cloud nodded, "This place is very safe. You can rest a.s.sured to use it." Hearing this, Kong Yun felt relieved.
Kong Yun took out the communication realm that Huangpu Qianxing had given him and began to use it according to the method Huangpu Qianxing had given him. The mirror emitted a yellow light that was extremely charming, but Kong Yun did not have the mood to admire it. Instead, he quietly waited for the news from the mirror.
After waiting for a while, Huangpu Qianxing"s shadow appeared in the mirror.
"Kid, why are you looking for me at this time?" Huangpu Qianxing didn"t seem to wake up.
"We have received news that Divine Serenity will descend on the main The universe in three days. He will be in the Void Star System." This sentence frightened Huangpu Qianxing.
"How could it be so fast?" Kong Yun had already thought that Huangpu Qianxing would be like this.
"Don"t be surprised. Our idea is for you to unite with the Demon G.o.d Race and attack him head-on where he descended. It would be best if he were injured and returned. It would be best if we could kill him." Kong Yun said his thoughts in one breath. He knew that Huangpu Qianxing would definitely be very surprised.
"How is this possible? That"s a ninth level Laws expert. It"s impossible for us to kill him." Kong Yun had already predicted this outcome, but the humans and the Demon G.o.d Race had to do so, otherwise the fate of the two races would be extremely dangerous.
"I know, but we have no other choice. If we don"t do this, both our humans and the Demon G.o.d Race will perish. With G.o.d"s serene personality, he won"t leave behind any calamity." Kong Yun naturally knew that it was very difficult to sit like this, but now, he was on the verge of launching an arrow, so he had no choice but to release it.
"Alright, I"ll discuss it with the humans and the Demon G.o.d Race. I"ll give you an answer tomorrow." Huangpu Qianxing hurriedly closed the communication realm, feeling extremely anxious.
"How is it?" Not only was it Huangpu Qianxing, even Divine Cloud was extremely excited.
"I don"t know. Director Huangpu said that he was discussing with them and giving us an answer. I feel that they should choose to do so, but I don"t know if they can succeed." Kong Yun was also very worried. If he failed, it would be a devastating blow to the human race, the Demon G.o.d Race, and himself.
""Ah ~ I know it"s very difficult, but there"s no other way right now. My brother is probably the only one on the ninth floor. This is the Ghost Rakshasa Clan"s confidence in advancing into the main The universe ." Only now did Divine Cloud feel that his pressure was extremely great. He could sit on the throne, but the premise was that Divine Serenity had to die. This goal was the most difficult.
"We have to stop these few days, otherwise we will be easily discovered." Kong Yun pondered for a moment, his expression grave.
"Why?" At this moment, Divine Cloud "s brain was no longer working.
"Think about it, before he leaves, he will definitely consolidate his rear. During this period of time, with his personality, he will definitely eradicate the dissidents and ensure that his throne is safe." Kong Yun slowly a.n.a.lyzed.
"Is he necessary? With his strength, even if someone rebelled, it would be useless." Divine Cloud felt that Kong Yun"s worries were unnecessary.
"Is that so? Are you sure that the throne can only be imprisoned with strength? You should be very clear about how he managed the Ghost Rakshasa Clan these past few years. There will definitely be a lot of resentment towards him. If these people rebel and kill the pa.s.sageway or the trusted aides of Divine Serenity at this time, then even if Divine Serenity comes back, the throne will not be safe, right?"
Kong Yun saw Divine Cloud "s expression and knew that his a.n.a.lysis was correct.
""You"re right. Such words can indeed force Shen Youming to abdicate. Even suppressing him with force is impossible. After all, an emperor is not a reckless man. He is not someone who can be strong, but he depends on many things." Divine Cloud took a deep breath and his expression became even uglier.
"There"s no need for you to worry. I feel that he will bring experts from dissident clans to the main The universe in the name of war. At that time, it will be impossible for these clans to rebel against him." Kong Yun continued.
"You"re right. If that"s the case, we still have a chance. If Divine Serenity directly annihilates these clans, we won"t have a chance." Divine Cloud laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I don"t think Divine Serenity should choose the first option. In that case, the people"s hearts will not be in sync." Divine Cloud nodded in agreement.
"Then let"s be quiet for a few days. Let"s wait for Shen Youming to leave before we act. It"s safer this way." Divine Cloud said slowly. Divine Cloud was very scared right now. He was afraid that his efforts over the past few days would be wasted. Most importantly, he was afraid that his trusted aides would die, as well as his mother"s safety.
"It"s good that you only need to inquire about the news these days. Don"t worry about anything else. Even if Shen Youming kills these people, you can only watch helplessly. There"s no way to save them." Kong Yun felt a little powerless at this moment.
Kong Yun knew that he was following Divine Cloud this time, Many of the ingredients were gambling. After Divine Cloud "s death, it was very convenient. Right now, he could only fight against Divine Serenity in the dark and not in the open. This was very difficult to win. However, he had no choice. If he did not follow Divine Cloud , there would be no turning point for the human race. Kong Yun Lai might be able to create a sliver of life force for humans this time.
Divine Cloud was gambling, Kong Yun was gambling, and humans were also gambling. If they won, it would be dark clouds for ten thousand kilometers, and if they lost, it would be an eternal abyss.
As Kong Yun had expected, many soldiers appeared in the capital that night. They stood on both sides of the streets and searched the pa.s.sers-by closely. Many mansions were surrounded by soldiers, but they didn"t do anything. They just surrounded them, perhaps waiting for the orders of Divine Serenity .
The inn Kong Yun lived in was no exception, but there were more soldiers here.
After Kong Yun discovered this, he ran to Divine Cloud "s room.
" Divine Cloud , were you sure that no one noticed you when you went out on business?" Kong Yun looked at Divine Cloud seriously.
Divine Cloud was stunned and nodded, "I"m sure that I wasn"t discovered. What"s wrong? What happened?"
"Our inn is obviously surrounded by more soldiers than anywhere else. It"s possible that we"ve been discovered." Kong Yun said slowly. Although he didn"t want to believe it, he had to admit that this possibility was very high.
"Then what should we do? If we are discovered, we will only end up dead." Divine Cloud "s face was filled with sorrow. He had finally arrived here with great difficulty. He had finally contacted some connections and obtained help from the human race with great difficulty. However, in the end, his efforts were still in vain.
Divine Cloud was about to cry at this moment.
"You don"t have to be so pessimistic. We might not be discovered. Let"s wait and see." Kong Yun and the other two stood guard outside the window, quietly observing the changes in the surrounding soldiers.
During this period of time, Kong Yun and Divine Cloud "s entire bodies were extremely nervous. If something was wrong, they would immediately flee, and if they hesitated for a moment, they might bring themselves to death.
Both of them were prepared to flee. Although they knew that the chances of escaping were low, the two of them had to fight. There"s no hope if you don"t fight.
Just as the two of them were nervous, two sages were rapidly approaching in their direction.
"Run!" Kong Yun roared and teleported out of his room.
Divine Cloud also broke through the window and fled outside the city.
