Chapter 652 -624: King Ming Must Die (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
The eleventh Candidate Divine Envoy Shentu Rong and the twelfth Candidate Divine Envoy Situ Xiu, upon orders, broke away from the Sin Army and left the Sky Pool Passage, both felt as though they had been reborn into another life.
Even though it was clearly the middle of the night, the air outside felt unexpectedly fragrant and pleasant, the breath of life so warm and sunny.
They had only spent a little over three months with the Sky Pool Punishment Army, which was nothing compared to their lifespans of 1600 years. Yet, the grievances, oppression, regret over their own deeds, fury towards the Light God Sect, and that feeling of being restrained and not free were simply indescribable.
The two of them quickly gathered their emotions, each commanding their Magic Artifacts, leading their respective Dragon Guards, they arrived at Wan Shi Mountain, east of the capital.
As soon as Shentu Rong arrived at this place, his eyes narrowed.
“It’s the Grand Array of Heaven Net and Earth Trap!”
The court had gathered 490,000 troops and 8,000 Dragon Transformation Masters around this abandoned mine, forming an enormous Formation.
This was a Super Emperor Rank Sky-reaching Level Array officially decreed by the Divine, with 490,000 strong warriors as the foundation and 7,000 to 14,000 Dragon Transformation Masters at the core, unleashing unrivaled divine might capable of suppressing both heaven and earth, even those of the Nine Realms wouldn’t dare confront it directly.
This Array was not suited for battlefields, but rather used by the court to suppress top demons.
Due to the complexity of organizing this Formation, Shentu Rong, who had lived for over 120 years, had only seen it once.
The two, along with a host of Dragon Guards, then descended before Luo Wangshu’s carriage.
“Candidate Divine Envoy Shentu Rong (Situ Xiu), greeting Divine Envoy Luo, we come by order of the Great Celestial Master, ready to follow Divine Envoy Luo’s commands.”
They hesitated for a brief moment, then solemnly paid their respects to Lin Rui: “Many thanks to you, National Guardian!”
Both of them knew very well that it was largely thanks to National Guardian ‘Lin Hao’ that they could leave the Sin Army early and unburden themselves.
And previously, inside the Divine Palace, if it hadn’t been for Lin Hao risking his life to warn them, their crimes would have been even greater.
At that moment, Lin Rui had almost finished purifying and refining the Blood Qi that he had absorbed into the ‘Blood God Wings’.
“You both flatter me too much, as a junior how can I accept such honors?” Lin Rui quickly stood, stepping aside with a smile: “There’s no need for gratitude; my master has always been on good terms with you, forming allies and supporting each other. Should the right opportunity arise, my master will surely lend assistance, as would you, no doubt.”
“Of course,” Shentu Rong said, even as he felt a secret wave of emotion.
Despite having formed an alliance with Luo Wangshu in the past, he had also regarded him as a competitor.
Yet in the recent years, Shentu Rong faced numerous setbacks, first being dispatched by the Divine to suppress the Demon Suppression Forest, followed by a series of unfortunate events.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Three months earlier, due to the upheaval at the Divine Palace, he was exiled to the Sin Army, which left him with no desire to compete for the position of Divine Envoy any longer.
Once Shentu Rong let go of his ambitions, he realized that Luo Wangshu and his apprentice were indeed reliable allies with boundless potential.
As for Situ Xiu, she had already given up the hope of competing for the position of Divine Envoy. She was deeply grateful for Lin Hao’s apprentice’s help in freeing her from the Sky Pool Punishment Army, and with a generous and robust voice, she bowed again: “Rest assured, Divine Envoy Luo, I, Situ Xiu, am not ungrateful. Having been helped by both of you to escape the Sky Pool, I will remember this kindness and am ready to repay it. Should Divine Envoy Luo require my assistance in the future, just give the word.”
“Situ Big Sister, you’re too kind!” Luo Wangshu also smiled lightly, stepping down from the carriage, then looked towards the mine entrance and said with a grave voice: “I presume that before you came here, you had already been informed of the details. Currently, within this mine, not only are there numerous Purgatory Demons and Outer Heaven Demons, but also forces from the Light God Sect, Zong Xiushan, Cui Peipei, and other factions, creating an exceedingly complex situation. Yet both the Great Celestial Master and the Emperor expect great things from us, hoping that I can work with you to achieve grand achievements.”
Upon hearing this, Shentu Rong narrowed his eyes: “The ‘grand achievements’ mentioned by the Great Celestial Master, are you referring to ‘King Ming’?”
As he spoke the words ‘King Ming,’ his voice was filled with clenched teeth and burning rage, almost as if it were tangible.
Last time, thanks to this Demon Sect’s King Ming, he was flogged numerous times, leading to his current plight.
“The intention of the Great Celestial Master, no doubt, is to capture King Ming at any cost!”
Luo Wangshu nodded: “However, if possible, it would be best to recover the two stolen fragments of the Divine Tablet, so I would like to ask the two of you to be stationed to the east and west, respectively. Together with me and my disciple, we shall form a powerful defense to prevent Mingde from escaping.”
Upon hearing this, Shentu Rong smiled wryly, not particularly concerned about regaining the Divine Tablet fragments in his heart.
From what he had just learned, Luo Wangshu and her disciple had invited Zong Xiushan and Cui Peipei to join them when entering the mine earlier.
It was those two who had missed the opportunity to reclaim the Divine Tablet. Who else could they blame now?
Of course, the matter of the Divine Tablet is indeed a misstep on the part of Great Song, but surely Cui Peipei would have no face to cause trouble in Luojing now.
Shentu Rong’s sole focus was on ‘Mingde,’ his top priority was to kill that bastard!
Situ Xiu’s expression flickered slightly: “Aren’t we going to enter the mine now? Mingde might escape through the Purgatory Passage.”
“We will definitely enter, but not right now,” Luo Wangshu shook her head: “As the art of war states, ‘Wait for the moment when I am invincible and the enemy is vulnerable!’ I need a little over an hour to accumulate the power for the ‘Heavenly Principle Divine Heart Sword’ again, and currently, the Array has only completed the earth net. We need more time for the heaven net. Once the grand Array is fully set, then it won’t be too late for us to enter.”
With a hint of a smirk, she then turned her gaze to the mine entrance: “Besides, it’s quite lively down there right now. It won’t be easy for Mingde to escape through the Sky Pool Passage. We should let them fight among themselves first. When they are exhausted, and we have gathered enough strength, it will be the right time for us to go in and clean up the aftermath.”
“That is the best strategy!” Shentu Rong bowed slightly: “Then I’ll take the east side.”
He then rose into the air and flew straight towards the east, while Situ Xiu nodded slightly and took to the west.
Only after both of them had left did Luo Wangshu continue to stand with her hands behind her back, eyes fixed on the mine entrance that stretched dozens of yards wide: “Hao, Mingde must die today!”
Lin Rui also nodded gravely: “Disciple understands! Master, rest assured, I can seize the optimal timing for entry.”
Although this time they had pinned the blame on Mingde Yin Qianqiu, it was Mingde himself who knew the truth of what had happened.
Although he was rendered indefensible and unable to sway their master-disciple duo’s conviction, Mingde Yin Qianqiu himself possessed combat power of the Immortal Level.
If he managed to catch his breath, it would pose a tremendous threat to the master and disciple.
And this rare opportunity was the perfect time to completely eliminate such a threat.
At this moment, Lin Rui, who had been channeling his full strength into the ‘Spiritual Sky Dragon’ and inspiration, was also watching various video images sent by Linghu Mingde.
Linghu Mingde was not only highly skilled in Escape Technique and had quick reflexes, but his range of activity was also extensive.
The key point was that since Li Xianglong and others had entered the mine, they had placed a large number of portable tactical sensing devices inside.
Li Xianglong, being a top hacker, had also hacked into numerous surveillance devices set up by the Longevity Association within the mine.
And the posse of Honorary Members from the Earth Federation shared all kinds of information among themselves.
Thus, Lin Rui had a full grasp of everything happening inside. He was tracking Mingde’s movements and using the information collected by these devices to estimate Mingde’s injuries.
Just then, he saw Cui Peipei blocking a cave entrance in front of Mingde, only to be sent flying by Mingde’s powerful blow.
This Third Divine Envoy of the Great Wei was highly proficient in Water Technique, capable of using the world’s most gentle waters to resolve and convert any external force.
However, Cui Peipei’s Bloodline Ability and Martial Arts were less effective in front of Mingde. Not only was she sent flying in one blow, but her previously prominent chest was also crushed inward, with blood gushing violently from her nose and mouth.
Upon witnessing this, Lin Rui couldn’t help but cover his eyes, finding it somewhat unbearable to watch.
He thought to himself that if Cui Peipei’s deplorable state were to be seen by her adoring fans from the Earth Federation, how heartbroken those fans would be?
