Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 768 - 685: Xin Mi (Part 2)_3
At this moment, the leader of the dragons who had been mostly silent spoke up, "My Lord, are we really going to form an alliance with the Law Enforcers? This... this seems like seeking the hide of a tiger. Those Law Enforcers have always seen us as a thorn in their side. I fear that this alliance might..." Ling Weiyang then patted Long Tian on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry. Do you really think I haven’t considered that? However, if we are to act, we should make a bold move. Xi Zhao and my plan is to fleece both the tiger and the wolf. After eliminating all the wolves, we’ll kill the tiger. Heh heh, if not for such a plan, do you think Xi Zhao and I would have been scheming for so long? And the sacrifices we made are well known to you all. Thus, this time, it’s truly the moment to settle everything!"
"But, My Lord, what exactly is that hidden power? How strong are they?" The one asking was still Long Tian. Ling Weiyang sighed and responded, "The power hidden in the shadows has concealed itself far too well. Up to now, Xi Zhao and I still know nothing of its depths. However, judging from the few deeds they have done, they must be a considerably powerful force. The failure of our previous Dominion of Soil strategy and the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon plan was due to this power’s subterfuge. But I estimate that this power isn’t invincible. If they were, they would completely make use of their formidable strength to directly achieve their goals rather than hiding so deeply. I guess either they have some severe taboo to avoid, or their strength isn’t as formidable as I imagined! No matter what, we must emerge victorious this time. Victory means life, defeat means death!" freēnovelkiss.com
"Moreover, I have two matters to tell you. First, I have obtained some information about that power. All members of this force are dressed distinctively, all in dark red cloaks with flat-topped helmets, and upon the helmet, there will be a character for ’sorrow.’ So, whenever you encounter someone dressed like this, there’s no need for questions, just kill them directly."
"The second matter," before anyone could react, Ling Weiyang continued, "is that a few days ago, Mo Zixuan, the Yin-Yang Kirin, and Ke Mo, have already headed to Xi Zhao’s Underworld God Annihilation Nation, selected as participants for this venture into the Fallen Tomb. With the two of them, our odds of victory are still great." As soon as Ling Weiyang finished speaking, Qian Shang and the other three all showed sudden changes in expression, with faces full of disbelief. "My Lord, has it really come to this? They, they are actually going to enter the Fallen Tomb?" Ling Weiyang laughed and said, "Surprising, isn’t it? Heh heh, this is truly the last chance, and indeed, our enemy is formidable. Although these two are not easy to control, they will absolutely give our enemy a real headache. Alright, everyone should rest up. Tomorrow morning, we enter the Fallen Tomb!"
Without allowing the others to say anything more, Ling Weiyang had already turned and left. Only the few shocked persons remained, looking at each other in silence. "This, this is too risky, isn’t it? That Ke Mo and the Yin-Yang Kirin..." Before Long Tian could finish, Qian Shang waved his hand to interrupt, "Let’s leave it. Since it is the Lord’s will, there must be a necessity for it. Ah, I hope the situation won’t turn too dire when the time comes." With that, everyone shook their heads with a sigh and dispersed. However, all of them, including Ling Weiyang inside, didn’t know that the covert power Ling Weiyang spoke of was a mistake. The power that had always been thwarting Ling Weiyang’s plans was actually known to Sun Wukong. But the force Ling Weiyang described, clad in dark red cloaks and flat-topped military helmets, was that of the hidden mastermind, not the one hindering Ling Weiyang’s plans. Of course, this was yet to be revealed, and should not be mentioned for now.
Underworld God Annihilation Nation
Unlike the Netherworld World and Myriad Demons Country, at this moment within the Imperial Palace of Xi Zhao’s Underworld God Annihilation Nation, the scene was one of revelry and mirth. Many dancers twirled in the dance hall, swinging their graceful figures with abandon, while at their sides, an assembly of both familiar and new faces drank heartily, exchanging toasts delightfully. Seated at the head, Xi Zhao in white robes sat among them, slightly tipsy but still ceaselessly raising his cup to drink with those at his sides.
"Today, everyone must drink to their heart’s content, for tomorrow is the day we enter the Fallen Tomb. Whether it is life or death for us, no one knows; I don’t either. If anyone here is frightened, tell me now. You may withdraw. I, Xi Zhao, will not force anyone against their will!" After proclaiming this, Xi Zhao downed his fiery alcohol in one gulp, addressing the people at his sides.
At that moment, one of the men seated on the right, at the foremost position, suddenly stood up, his cup of wine fiercely smashing down to the ground as he said, "I, Ke Mo, have never feared anything in my life. However, there’s something that now strikes fear in me." This man was none other than the one Ling Weiyang had referred to earlier, Ke Mo, who had gone to the Underworld God Annihilation Nation. But looking at him, there appeared to be nothing special. Of medium build, short hair without a beard, and a robust physique, it wasn’t evident what made him inspire such change in Qian Shang and the others’ expressions. Xi Zhao, intrigued, looked at Ke Mo and said, "Brother Ke Mo, I’m really curious as to what exactly you’re afraid of!" Ke Mo had already grabbed a large bowl, filled it to the brim with wine, and gulped it down as he replied, "I’m afraid that the enemies within the Fallen Tomb would be too few, not enough for the both of us to fight." After saying this, he turned to the person beside him and said, "I’m right, aren’t I? I remember it’s been several hundred thousand years since you last lifted a finger."
The man beside him, with long hair and a stern face, did not respond to Ke Mo’s inquiry and simply carried on pouring himself wine to drink as if he hadn’t heard a thing! (To be continued.
