Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 492: Is the Lord National Master Dead?

"Your Majesty, are you really planning to make a move against the Great Xia Royal Palace?"

Reacting belatedly, Liu Qingcang stared incredulously at Ji Wuya and asked.

It’s one thing for Ling Chen to cause trouble, but why would Your Majesty get involved?

You are well aware of Xia Jiuyou’s strength.

"Yes!"

Ji Wuya nodded heavily.

Ling Chen took over the conversation, saying: "Uncle Cang, we owe you thanks for the reminder! We’ve made a significant discovery while examining the State Preceptor’s storage ring..."

He then recounted the details about the Source Transfer Divine Skill and the experimental notes to Liu Qingcang.

"Is that really true?"

Liu Qingcang was shocked.

They in the Dark Realm had gleaned some information about Source Energy.

But they hadn’t known there were such flaws in transplanting special physiques.

The linchpin of the Great Xia Dynasty was Xia Jiuyou.

And if Xia Jiuyou temporarily lost his strength, then it would be their time in the Dark Realm to do as they pleased.

With his own power, aside from those in the Palace Mansion Realm, only a very few posed a threat to him.

The State Preceptor was one of them.

As for the others, he feared none.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded, a serious expression on his face: "Uncle Cang, this matter is extremely dangerous, and the main goal of this operation is to rescue my father. Please consider whether you want to be part of it."

"No need to consider, I’m in!"

Liu Qingcang decided on the spot.

"Uncle Cang, thank you!"

Ling Chen bowed respectfully to Liu Qingcang.

Liu Qingcang waved his hand, saying: "It’s not just about your father, my own kin have also suffered from such cruelty."

"Your kin? Should we rescue them together?"

Ling Chen asked.

Uncle Cang’s kin should be in the Ghost Palace.

Since he was determined to enter the Ghost Palace anyway, he might as well save them.

"No need, she’s already dead."

Liu Qingcang’s eyes blazed with hatred.

Just as Ling Chen was about to inquire further, Ji Wuya quickly signaled him with a look, preventing further questions.

"Uncle Cang, rest assured, one day, I will avenge my father, your kin, and all those victims by striking down Xia Jiuyou myself!"

Ling Chen declared with firm conviction.

"I believe in you!"

Liu Qingcang nodded.

"Well then, shall we make a plan?"

Ji Wuya initiated.

The three of them then discussed strategies.

The final decision was made.

Ling Chen would still use the same method as last time to infiltrate the Royal Palace, while Ji Wuya and Liu Qingcang would wait outside. Once Ling Chen sent a signal, they would storm into the Palace.

Of course, Ling Chen would inevitably expose his identity upon success.

To prevent his kin from facing persecution, Ji Wuya arranged for people to be ready to take the Ling Family into the Dark Realm at a moment’s notice. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

As for Ling Wu, Xu Lin and his Protector would safeguard her.

Once successful, Ji Wuya would have Xu Lin take Ling Wu and leave immediately.

After the discussion was concluded, the three prepared to part ways.

Ling Chen silently returned to King City and went straight to the residence of the Ghost King Guard Zhang Yan.

At the same time.

News of Ling Chen’s encounter with the Moon Shadow Killers, spread by Liu Qingcang, also went around.

...

Palace.

Zhengyang Palace.

Xia Jiuyou paced inside the hall, occasionally looking outside.

"What’s happening?"

Xia Jiuyou’s brow was tightly furrowed.

Logically, given the strength of the State Preceptor, dealing with Ling Chen shouldn’t take much time.

It was already past midday, yet the State Preceptor still hadn’t returned.

He tried to send a message to the State Preceptor.

But, there was no reply for a long time.

A faint foreboding feeling rose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Suddenly, a flurry of disordered footsteps came from outside, and an eunuch burst in frantically.

"What’s the matter?"

Xia Jiuyou glared at the eunuch.

"The State Preceptor is dead!"

The eunuch hurriedly reported.

This eunuch was specifically in charge of overseeing the Life Plates of the Royal Family. He checked on the Life Plates of the royal members every two hours.

This time, upon entering, he found that the State Preceptor’s Life Plate was shattered.

"What did you say?!"

Xia Jiu You immediately rushed to the eunuch, grabbed his collar, and said coldly.

"The Life Plate of Lord National Master... has shattered!"

The eunuch was nearly scared to pee, stammering his words.

"Boom!"

Black Spiritual Power erupted from Xia Jiu You’s hand, instantly blasting the eunuch in front of him into dust.

Then, Xia Jiu You left Zhengyang Palace and arrived at the Royal Family ancestral shrine.

When his eyes fell on the State Preceptor’s Life Plate, his body couldn’t help but tremble.

"The State Preceptor... really... is dead?"

Xia Jiu You had a look of disbelief.

Could the State Preceptor, hailed as the number one Divine Thought Master of the Dynasty, be dead?

He could hardly believe it.

The State Preceptor was an existence that could easily erase even a ninth-layer cultivator of the Primordial Pill Realm!

How could he possibly be dead?

Moreover, the State Preceptor was dealing with Ling Chen this time!

Although Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power was impressive, his strength was at most at the peak of the ninth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm!

And, he was merely a top-middle-tier Divine Thought Master!

How could he possibly have killed the State Preceptor?

It should be known that the methods of the State Preceptor were targeted at the Divine Soul.

Ever since he got to know the State Preceptor, their relationship had been closer than blood brothers.

Back then, it was because the State Preceptor transplanted the Sacred Body of Jiuyou to him that he was able to ascend to the position of Crown Prince.

"Ah!"

Xia Jiu You let out a long howl toward the sky!

The entire Palace could hear it clearly!

The Imperial Guard, hearing the commotion here, rushed over one after another.

When they realized it was the King, they immediately stood respectfully to the side.

After venting for a while, Xia Jiu You finally left.

"I don’t believe the State Preceptor is dead."

Xia Jiu You regained his calm, but his body was filled with an overwhelming murderous intent.

"Summon the Ghost Palace Master over!"

Xia Jiu You ordered coldly.

"Yes."

Someone immediately obeyed the command and left.

Soon, ten cultivators arrived.

The ten were the ten Ghost Divine Guards of the Ghost Palace.

They were also the Ghost Palace Masters.

The ten jointly managed the Ghost Palace, all following Xia Jiu You’s orders.

Just then, another eunuch hurried over.

"Your Majesty, Palace Master Xia Yuan of Academic Palace has sent news that Lord National Master and student Ling Chen were assassinated by Moon Shadow Killers on their way to the Palace. Lord National Master is dead, and Ling Chen is severely injured, his whereabouts unknown."

The eunuch reported.

"Moon Shadow?"

Xia Jiu You’s expression turned icy.

If it was a Moon Shadow Killer, then it could be understood.

With the strength of Moon Shadow, they can assassinate even the Kings of the Palace Mansion Realm.

Not to mention a high-grade Divine Thought Master.

"Where is Xia Yuan?"

Xia Jiu You inquired.

"Palace Master Xia is on his way here."

The eunuch reported.

"As soon as Xia Yuan arrives, have him come to see me immediately."

Xia Jiu You spoke with a cold voice.

"Yes!"

The eunuch then withdrew.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

The ten asked anxiously.

They simply couldn’t believe that their beloved Lord National Master was dead.

Their achievements today were almost all due to the National Master’s miraculous techniques that stole the fate of heaven.

Otherwise, they would probably have died long ago.

"The Life Plate of the State Preceptor has shattered."

Xia Jiu You said in a cold voice.

"How could that be?"

"How could Lord National Master possibly be dead?"

"This must be fake!"

...

All ten Ghost Divine Guards appeared to not believe it.

In their eyes, Lord National Master was an existence akin to a deity!

How could a deity possibly die?
