Chapter 179 Lord Wu'an, I've come to kill you.
Chapter 179 Lord Wu'an, I've come to kill you.
"He's gone. What should we do next?" Wu Ku asked. Here, there's no need to fear anyone. Forbidden spellcasters won't intervene; they are invincible.
The only one worth paying attention to is Jiuying. As a fellow cardinal, he has existed for much longer than Salang and is very mysterious. There has never been much information about him, nor has he had any followers, which makes it impossible for them to figure out who Jiuying is.
"Kill him depending on the situation," Salang said calmly after a moment of silence.
"Yes." Wu Ku and Salang parted ways. Salang then requested to see Lord Wu'an, but Wu Ku did not need to go. Firstly, it was too dangerous there, and secondly, Wu Ku needed to prepare for what was to come.
His main focus was outside, above the skies of the ancient capital.
Salang held in his hand a shattered purple crystal, found in an ancient ruin, belonging to an ancient king.
After investigation, Salang discovered that this crystal could be used to contact Lord Wu'an. Although it could not make him obey orders, it would not harm the holder either, making it a kind of token.
"This is really troublesome," Salang complained. If it weren't for Jiuying, she would have already taken the sword and left.
The ancient sword isn't something that can command the dead kings; that's only possible in the hands of the ancient king. All she needs is this item to lure out all the dead kings, and then use the potion they've researched to enrage them.
Unfortunately, Jiuying was here, which made Salang unsure of how to obtain the sword with the handle. Although the final results were similar, there would be some flaws. If possible, she would still prefer to have all eight deceased kings present.
Outside the palace, Jiuying gave that place to Salang and then found a new place for himself.
Above, a massive surge of energy made the place look like the end of the world. Xu Sheng and Su Ming started fighting, and Paris probably got involved too.
The all-out battle between three top experts in a small place only a few dozen kilometers away is quite a commotion, even though he thinks it's just playing around.
A crack appeared in the sky, from which energy continuously surged forth. The ground was littered with debris, and occasionally, heavenly fire and water would fall down.
"That's too hasty. Who created Garuda?" Jiuying wondered, but now was not the time to worry about that.
Go find Lord Wu'an first; Garuda will be here soon.
Xu Sheng is far from being able to stop him, and Paris is also a useless person. However, Xu Sheng will not die, so we still need to be careful to avoid being tricked by him.
Behind Jiuying, in front of him, was a wall, an ordinary wall, one of the few places that had not been destroyed.
When Jiuying's hand was placed on it, it seemed to ripple. With a little force, the hand could pass through, but Jiuying's hand did not appear behind the wall.
This is a door, a door that leads into a deeper space, and this is also where Lord Wu'an is located.
Jiuying smiled calmly and walked in. His vision changed, and Jiuying arrived in a void space. There was nothing here, not even gravity. He could feel himself floating, unable to control himself.
Moving up and down was very tiring and made her dizzy, so Jiuying stopped for the time being and began to adapt to the space. The void space seemed endless, and there was no one here.
However, Jiuying knew that everything here was fake. As long as he took a few steps steadily, he would be able to see Lord Wu'an hiding here. He had already sensed Lord Wu'an's aura.
The presence of the white-robed corpse general's aura surprised Jiu Ying. He had assumed the white-robed corpse general would be in this place, since he hadn't been seen anywhere else. If he wasn't even here, Jiu Ying really didn't know where he had gone.
Nine-Headed Serpent is highly talented and adaptable. In just a few minutes, it straightened its body and could walk as if on flat ground.
After taking a couple of steps, the scene changed again. Lord Wu'an was floating in the air with his eyes closed, and there was another person beside him:
"We meet again." Jiu Ying greeted her with a smile. This person was none other than Salang. She had also come to this place, and she had arrived even earlier than Jiu Ying. She must have entered through the door near the back of the prison.
Salang glanced at Jiuying but didn't reply. She called out to Wu'an Jun, "Well, you can consider it. Cooperating with me is the best choice. You're a smart man; you know what to do."
"Hey, Salang, what did you and Lord Wu'an talk about? I'd like to know too, tell me." Jiuying walked over with a smile.
"Get out of here. You can guess for yourself. It's my turn now," Salang said coldly.
"I'm a little sad." Jiu Ying's face was all smiles, showing no sign of sadness. He was quite cheerful, and even Salang didn't know why Jiu Ying had come to this place.
There was no reason for it to happen, and it shouldn't have happened at all.
He seemed to have lost his mind, running wherever there was excitement.
That's roughly the feeling.
"What's your decision?" Salam asked again.
"Let me think about it," Lord Wu'an replied, then turned to Jiu Ying, "So, what is your purpose?"
From Salang's actions upon entering, Wu'an Jun could discern his intentions, but Jiu Ying was different.
He said he had a purpose, but it was clearly a lie. Lord Wu'an couldn't see through it and didn't understand what Jiuying was trying to do.
"Take a guess?" Jiuying said mysteriously.
"You want me to guess?" Lord Wu'an wondered if he had misheard. You come to ask for a favor and you have this attitude?
Well, to these people, this wasn't asking for a favor but a transaction, and Salam's attitude wasn't good either; they were practically at the point of fighting.
"Would you believe me if I said I came here to kill you? Not only you, but I will also kill the White-Robed Corpse General and the deceased king outside the ancient capital. However, you two are the easiest to find, and there is no way you can escape. You are trapped like turtles in a jar, so it's best to kill you." Jiuying said with a smile, making it impossible to tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
Lord Wu'an remained calm; even if Jiuying had truly come to kill him, it wouldn't change anything.
"You're right, I am a ghost, and the Eight Kings of the Dead are also ghosts. They should have died long ago. It's not surprising that someone comes to kill me, but you'd better have the ability." Lord Wu'an didn't mind someone coming to kill him, provided that they could actually kill him; otherwise, it would only add to his sorrow.
Throughout history, there have been countless people who have tried to kill him, not just Jiuying. He has killed countless powerful mages, too many to even remember. Cardinal—it seems like a very prestigious position, but anyone with eyes can see that the Cardinal himself is not that powerful.
"No—" They're just ordinary people. There are countless people more powerful than the Cardinal. They're not powerful at all; they're just too mysterious, which is why people are wary of them.
