Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 488 Dilemma

"Thinking of trapping me here? Dream on!"

Ling Chen’s lips curved into a sneer.

The State Preceptor had indeed prepared thoroughly this time.

Even in his death, he could trap Ling Chen in this place.

By then, when Xia Jiuyou arrives, Ling Chen’s fate would only be one—that is death.

It’s just too bad.

Ling Chen is a person of the Dark Night.

Moreover, he is the Dark Night Young Master!

Ling Chen flicked his right hand, and a jade token appeared.

It was the Transmission Jade Token!

This Transmission Jade Token could transport a person to the Dark Realm.

If it could cross the boundaries of two worlds, why would it care about a mere trapping array?

"Buzz!"

Ling Chen immediately activated the Transmission Jade Token, and a burst of light instantly enveloped him. Three breaths later, Ling Chen disappeared from the spot.

Dark Realm.

"My Lord!"

Liu Qingcang hurried into the main hall.

Not long ago, he noticed that Ling Chen had disappeared, so he immediately searched around, only to enter a boundless place.

He instantly understood.

This must certainly be someone else’s doing.

He knew that Ling Chen had left with the State Preceptor, so he quickly realized that the State Preceptor had made an attempt on Ling Chen’s life.

But, he himself was trapped and completely unable to help Ling Chen.

Therefore, he directly transported himself back to the Dark Night to seek help from Ji Wuya, the Palace Mansion Realm King.

"What’s going on?"

Ji Wuya appeared and frowned at Liu Qingcang.

"The Young Master is in danger!"

Liu Qingcang didn’t even bother with courtesies and hurriedly spoke.

"What?"

Ji Wuya’s expression changed slightly.

Ling Chen was his heir in the Dark Night.

Just appointed as Young Master not long ago, and now he was in danger.

"Let’s talk while we walk!"

Without waiting for Liu Qingcang to elaborate, Ji Wuya flew towards the city gates.

Transmission was not possible within Dark Night City.

Soon, the two arrived at the city gates where a familiar figure appeared before them.

"Young Master?"

Ji Wuya and Liu Qingcang were both stunned.

Hadn’t Liu Qingcang just said that Ling Chen was in danger?

Why was he now safely appearing before them?

"Are you alright?"

Ji Wuya quickly asked.

His eyes carefully examining Ling Chen.

"I’m fine."

Ling Chen gestured with his hand.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuya and the other felt relieved.

"I have urgent matters, let’s talk inside!"

Ling Chen said solemnly.

"Alright!"

The three immediately returned to the main hall in the city.

"Whoosh!"

Ling Chen took out a ring, with a flash of light, a corpse appeared on the ground.

"The State Preceptor of Great Xia?"

Ji Wuya and Liu Qingcang immediately recognized it.

"Correct! Xia Jiuyou must already know about my relationship with Ling Tianxing. Seeing my talent as too strong, he sent the State Preceptor to assassinate me."

Ling Chen said.

"What?"

Liu Qingcang was shocked and said, "This State Preceptor, rumored to be our Great Xia’s number one Divine Thought Master, you actually killed him?"

He knew much more than Ling Chen.

It was said that this State Preceptor had achievements of killing five to six Divine Thought Masters of the same level.

Although Ling Chen had ascended to a high-grade Divine Thought Master, it seemed that he was no match for this person, right?

Ji Wuya had not left the Dark Night in recent years.

He didn’t know much about the State Preceptor.

Only knew that he could transplant special physiques.

Hearing Liu Qingcang say that, Ji Wuya was also surprised as he looked at Ling Chen.

A bitter smile appeared on Ling Chen’s face.

Was Uncle Cang’s focus a bit too off?

Clearly, what he said was crucial is that Xia Jiuyou knew about his affairs!

"Indeed, it was me who killed him!"

Ling Chen still nodded in admission.

"How did you manage that?"

Liu Qingcang pressed on.

This was simply too unbelievable.

The State Preceptor dared to make a move against Ling Chen, surely he was fully prepared.

Even so, Ling Chen returned unscathed, while the State Preceptor was dead. Just how terrifying had Ling Chen’s strength become?

"Uncle Cang, my Divine Soul is quite special, and his Divine Soul Attacks are ineffective against me."

Ling Chen briefly explained.

"Oh."

Only then did Liu Qingcang come to a realization and nod.

If Divine Soul Attacks were ineffective, given Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power, it was indeed possible for him to kill the State Preceptor.

After all, Ling Chen was at the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm, and with the second level realm of his Sword Dao, it was more than enough to kill a top-tier high-class Divine Thought Master.

For cultivators of their caliber, the threat of a Divine Thought Master mainly lies in the Divine Soul Attack. If the Divine Soul Attack was ineffective, a Divine Thought Master was no match for them.

When they encounter them, there’s only one outcome, death!

"What exactly happened? Tell me."

Ji Wuya spoke up.

Being a King of the Palace Mansion Realm, his mentality was much better than Liu Qingcang’s.

Ling Chen then described the event, especially the part where he got words out of the State Preceptor.

Upon hearing this, both Ji Wuya fell silent.

"So it seems, they know you are Ling Tianxing’s son, but they may not know you’ve joined us in the Dark Night."

Ji Wuya analyzed.

"My Lord, could my father be in danger?"

Ling Chen looked somewhat anxious.

If Xia Jiuyou took his father as a hostage, he couldn’t just ignore it, could he?

"Probably not. Ling Chen, your father still has utility to Xia Jiuyou."

Ji Wuya said.

Hearing this, Ling Chen breathed slightly easier.

"Although you may not have revealed your Dark Night identity, you can’t return now."

Ji Wuya said.

With the State Preceptor’s death, Xia Jiuyou would inevitably investigate.

Given Xia Jiuyou’s character, he would likely prefer to kill erroneously rather than let anyone go.

Moreover, Ling Chen is Ling Tianxing’s son.

As long as Ling Chen returns, regardless of whether he is the murderer or not, Xia Jiuyou has no reason to let Ling Chen live.

"I’m afraid it’s already exposed."

Ling Chen nodded, "Escaping the trapping array, Xia Jiuyou will definitely link it to our Dark Night’s methods."

"Right!"

Liu Qingcang said, "Then you definitely can’t go back."

"But, am I to just cultivate here continuously? Let my father continue to suffer?"

Ling Chen said reluctantly.

"What else can you do?"

Ji Wuya advised, "Even if you return, it would likely be of no help and might even cost you your life."

Ling Chen fell silent.

Ji Wuya’s words made sense.

With his current strength, facing Xia Jiuyou was certain death.

Yet, knowing his father was suffering there tore him apart inside,

especially knowing his father was in the dungeons under Zhengyang Palace.

"My Lord, do you have any way to help rescue my father? With our Transmission Jade Token, perhaps we can save my father."

Ling Chen asked.

Ji Wuya glanced at Ling Chen and said, "Ling Chen, your father is also my disciple. As his mentor, I cannot stand by and see him suffer."

"But I am severely injured, and my cultivation has halted. In terms of strength, I am no match for Xia Jiuyou."

"As long as Xia Jiuyou is in the Palace, no one from our Dark Night can contend with him! It’s impossible to gain enough time, even seeing your father would be wishful thinking."

"Is there really no way at all?"

Ling Chen looked despairing.

"Ling Chen, have you not considered one thing? The State Preceptor dared to make a move against you; isn’t he afraid of inciting dissatisfaction among other cultivators?"

"Your talent is so strong, yet Xia Jiuyou wants to kill you! Who then would dare to display their talent in the future?"

Liu Qingcang said.

"Uncle Cang, what do you mean?"

Ling Chen asked.
