Chapter 637: A Sudden Attack
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The Thunder Emperor’s touring abode was a problem that was stickier than he had originally thought.
He should have had two helpers, but neither of them was here due to the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar. This messed up his plan to some extent.
There was a saying, “The older you are, the timider you’ll become.” Zhou Bao was exactly a case in point. The higher his cultivation was, the timider he became.
Zhou Bao was no longer innocent. He knew he was just a variable, someone who had been inexplicably favored by fate.
He had never thought that he was the only lucky one. Rather, he thought he was the latest lucky one. The Sea Emperor, a mighty person who had ruled the whole Sea Area of the Heaven Realm since antiquity times, was probably luckier than him. Zhou Bao had managed to sc.r.a.pe together a Supreme Fairy Weapon, so it was highly possible that this ruler possessed a Supreme Fairy Weapon as well. Moreover, the Pool of Thunder Tribulation was a vital thing for the Supreme Fairy Weapon. Therefore, it would surely attract his attention and even make him covet it. Under such circ.u.mstances, if Zhou Bao rashly revealed his trump card, he could die and never have a chance to stage a comeback.
As a result, he was very ambivalent about the current situation and had become quite cautious.
“The situation is not quite right. There are many tunnels in this abode, aren’t there? Why are we the only ones standing above the Thunder Sea? Where are the others? Do their tunnels lead to other places? Is there more than one Thunder Sea in this abode?”
“It’s impossible. Every abode has only one Thunder Sea!” Administrator Zhang also seemed to have realized something.
“I don’t believe that we are so fortunate as to have picked the right route and reached the abode while the others were unlucky and chose the wrong way!” Zhou Bao said with an odd expression, “Are we so lucky?”
Both of them remained silent.
Luck may have truly existed, but those who had the ability to enter the abode without dying were also extremely fortunate. Otherwise, they would not have been so powerful. However, there was no reason for the luck to go to them as soon as they appeared!
Their eyes turned strange. They looked up at the red clouds covering the sky and then down at the lightning rus.h.i.+ng at their feet. Just as they were preparing to figure out what was wrong, they stopped at the same time as if they had felt something. Two figures rushed out of the tunnel and exclaimed simultaneously. Like Zhou Bao and Administrator Zhang, they appeared above the Thunder Sea.
“The Thunder Sea, it’s the Thunder Sea. The Pool of Thunder Tribulation is right at the bottom of it!”
It was Yu Taixu and Mr. Feng IX. Upon seeing the present situation, Yu Taixu, the Lord of the Divine Wind Palace, could not help crying out.
The Thunder Sea looked exactly the same as what had been recorded in the scripture of the Divine Wind Palace. According to the record, the legendary Pool of Thunder Tribulation was at the bottom of this sea!
“Hey hey, interesting guys, do you think that we will share the Pool of Thunder Tribulation with you?” Hearing Yu Taixu’s shriek, Administrator Zhang laughed insidiously. He stared at Yu Taixu, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng sinister light.
The hairs all over Yu Taixu’s body stood up suddenly.
It was killing intent, naked and undisguised.
“WHOOs.h.!.+”
A green light flashed and the Green Pith Leaf appeared in front of him. The green light shone and protected his whole body.
“Zhou Bao, what do you mean?”
Zhou Bao did not intend to deny his ident.i.ty. The two small hammers in his hands had already betrayed him.
“Nothing. I have reached a small agreement with this Administrator Zhang, but it is a matter between the two of us, not including the third person. Hey hey, now you are the third person, so I think you’d better leave.”
“Zhou Bao, don’t go too far!” Yu Taixu’s face was overcast with anger. “Don’t forget, you are a person from the Seven-deity Regions, not a Demonic Immortal of the Sea Area. If you collude with Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area, you will have no place in the Seven-deity Regions.”
“Interesting!” Zhou Bao’s eyes emanated cold light and he glanced at Yu Taixu. “Lord Yu, do you think this is the Seven-deity Regions where you can command the wind and rain? Well, if you want to do so, see if you can summon the Pool of Thunder Tribulation!”
“You…!”
Yu Taixu’s expression changed. In the Seven-deity Regions, as the Lord of Divine Wind Palace, only old b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who held high status dared to speak to him like this. However, they still maintained due respect in front of him. Zhou Bao, by virtue of his mighty strength, did not respect him at all and even ridiculed him wantonly. This was unforgivable. “Zhou Bao, don’t think that you can get too big for your boots just because of your strength. Don’t forget, you are still a person from the Seven-deity Regions. Your family and your territory are all there. Do you want to betray the Seven-deity Regions and human beings?”
“What I want to do is not decided by you!” Zhou Bao smiled coldly and looked at the ruler of the Four Eastern Regions. “Who do you think you are? Your words are not law. Don’t forget, I’m a member of the Four Signs of the Immortal Palace, isn’t that right, Mr. Feng IX?”
Feng IX narrowed his eyes slightly. He had a trace of doubt in his heart. “What the h.e.l.l is this guy trying to do? Does he want to stir up a conflict between the Divine Wind Palace and the Immortal Palace here? No, he is not so childish to think that he can stir up a fierce fight between the two big sects in the Seven-deity Regions with a word or two. If not, what does he mean?” A doubt flashed pa.s.sed his mind and he took a deep breath. “Lord Yu, Zhou Bao is right. He is a member of the Four Signs of my Immortal Palace, rather than a disciple of your Divine Wind Palace. He’s just cooperating with this guy now. You don’t need to speak so harshly, do you?”
“Humph. Don’t tell me you didn’t feel the killing intent on him!” Yu Taixu sneered. “Don’t forget that when we first arrived at the Desolate Island, that guy attacked us and captured Zhou Bao with his subordinates, and now Zhou Bao is standing here, safe and sound. Isn’t there something fishy about that? Do you really think they have converted into friends? Is there such a coincidence in this world? Is there anything more ridiculous than that?”
“This…!” Mr. Feng IX was speechless.
Indeed, this matter was odd.
“Administrator Zhang was indeed the one who ambushed us on the Desolate Island. And Zhou Bao also killed several Demonic Immortals at the Lord of Heaven Realm with his hammers at that time. Did they really become friends in such a short time? Is there anything more ridiculous?”
“If not, what Yu Taixu said is actually possible. Perhaps Zhou Bao has a complicated relations.h.i.+p with the Demonic Immortals in the Sea Area from long ago. Although all the sects in the Four Eastern Regions investigated his miraculous rise, they never discovered anything unusual about him. This is not quite normal. Is Zhou Bao a spy who has been placed in the Seven-deity Regions by the Sea Area?”
As soon as this idea came into his mind, it got out of hand, as if a seed had sprouted.
“If you are out to condemn me, you can always trump up a charge!” Zhou Bao was aware of Mr. Feng IX’s doubt. Leisurely, he revealed the truth. “The reason I am cooperating with Administrator Zhang is very simple. If he didn’t agree to cooperate with me, I was going to destroy his Self-world. Hence, he had to make the Great Vow of the Heart Demon to help me s.n.a.t.c.h the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. Am I right, Administrator Zhang?”
“This fellow seems a little strange!” Seeing Zhou Bao behave so frankly, Administrator Zhang was a little confused. However, he smiled helplessly and nodded his head in agreement, saying, “I didn’t expect him to have a fairy weapon with him. I trapped him in my Self-world, but I was caught in a difficult situation. In despair, I was coerced by him. This is true!”
Yu Taixu and Mr. Feng IX frowned. They looked a little surprised, but when they thought about it carefully, they found it was in accordance with their expectations. Zhou Bao had a fairy weapon, and that was known to all. Moreover, this fairy weapon had been given by the five biggest sects because they thought it was a chicken rib at the time. They hadn’t expected that it would have such a huge effect in Zhou Bao’s hands. Except for the Immortal Palace, the other four sects probably regretted it now.
“That explains it. In this case, Administrator Zhang has the same purpose as us!” Feng IX secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
“It was the same before. Nevertheless, for the sake of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, Administrator Zhang seems to want to kill Lord Yu now!” Zhou Bao smiled coldly, and a faint red light began to flash in his eyes. “My constraint on Administrator Zhang is only limited to searching for the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. As to who he’s going to kill, I have no power to control nor interfere. Am I right, Mr. Feng IX?”
“This…!” Feng IX froze. He didn’t know what Zhou Bao meant, but Administrator Zhang understood.
“You want me to kill Yu Taixu!”
“If you help me to kill him, you will have fulfilled the agreement, whether the Pool of Thunder Tribulation exists or not. We will obtain it on our own!”
The two of them had a short communication through divine thoughts. From this short communication, Administrator Zhang could clearly feel Zhou Bao’s undisguised killing intent.
“Are you really going to kill him?”
“Yes, I just want to kill him here!” All of a sudden, Zhou Bao’s expression turned serious and he disappeared.
“BOOM!”
“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Almost the moment he disappeared, Yu Taixu let out a roar as green light flashed violently around his body. He was sent flying; he landed in the Thunder Sea.
“Yu Taixu, it’s your time to die today!” As quick as a flash, Zhou Bao chased after him. His eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with a weird red light!
The Fiery Eyes!!!
