“Don’t worry, Yun’er, I will uncover the Regional King’s secrets.” Qianbei Ye pulled Gu Ruoyun into his arms and lowered his eyelids as he smiled gently, “It’s still early, how about we continue expressing our tender affections 1 ?”
Qianbei Ye did not wait for Gu Ruoyun to reply and kissed her on the lips before he ruthlessly 2 pushed her down…
…
Heavenly Moon Empire.
The Heavenly Moon Emperor was frowning in deep thought in the dazzling Imperial Palace while his cold and grim eyes flashed with a stern light.
After a long pause, a voice rang out from outside the door, “Reporting to Your Imperial Majesty, the Regional King requests an audience.”
The Heavenly Moon Emperor relaxed his brows upon hearing the report and replied indifferently, “Let him in.”
After he had spoken, a middle-aged man in embroidered robes entered the main hall. As the man approached the Heavenly Moon Emperor, he joined his fists respectfully and said, “Reporting to Your Imperial Majesty, the purpose of my visit is because I have some matters to discuss with You. I ask that You dismiss your attendants.”
The Heavenly Moon Emperor’s eyes carried a cold and stern air as he waved his hand and ordered, “All of you, leave.”
“As Your Imperial Majesty commands.”
The palace maids and eunuchs, who had been standing in the main hall, all withdrew. Now, only the Heavenly Moon Emperor and the Regional King were left in the large palace.
“Regional King, now that there’s no one else here, you may speak freely.”
The Heavenly Moon Emperor looked at the Regional King as he spoke in a cold and indifferent voice.
“Your Imperial Majesty.” The Regional King smiled. His smile carried treachery and cruelty as he asked very slowly, “Are You truly resigned to being bullied by the Underworld in this manner? The Young Master of the Underworld had killed Elder Wuxu right in front of You. He had completely disregarded the Heavenly Moon Empire’s dignity! Are You really going to suffer in silence?”
The Heavenly Moon Emperor’s expression stiffened. His tone filled with scorn as he replied, “Regional King, what do you mean by this? You want Us to attack and deal with the Young Master?”
“Hehe, Your Imperial Majesty, the Underworld may be great but that Young Master had not been escorted by very many people. The Heavenly Moon Empire, on the other hand, has countless powerful cultivators. Even if he’s that powerful, he cannot possibly be able to defeat all our powerful cultivators!”
The Regional King took a deep breath and a somber light flashed in his eyes. “If we secretly have him assassinated, the Underworld wouldn’t find out anyway. That way, the Heavenly Moon Empire won’t be dragged down either! I know that You, Your Imperial Majesty, had tolerated this in the beginning not because You feared the Young Master, but because You had feared the power of the Underworld. You’re terrified that if You killed the Young Master of the Underworld, it would bring a catastrophe upon the Heavenly Moon Empire!”
Gu Ruoyun would not be spared!
He must also get the Ancient Divine Pagoda!
However, if he allows Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye to return to the Underworld, he would lose that opportunity! By then, he would certainly suffer a cruel death for failing the task his Lord had entrusted to him!
Besides, that sl*t Gu Ruoyun had the audacity to humiliate Lin’er! Now, each time he remembers the suffering Lin’er has to endure, he would feel the urge to tear Gu Ruoyun into a million pieces!
The Heavenly Moon Emperor laughed icily. He then turned towards the Regional King’s twisted face and calmly replied, “That’s correct, the Underworld’s Young Master had indeed murdered Elder Wuxu, and caused Us to lose face. However, it’s simply not worth the trouble to be in conflict with the Underworld because of this! Regional King, there’s no need for you to say anything more. We do not wish to make an enemy of the Underworld.”
The Regional King’s eyes flickered as he smiled. “What if I told You that Gu Ruoyun holds the legendary Ancient Divine Pagoda? Anyone who holds the Ancient Divine Pagoda is only one step away from the full circle state! Do You not wish to have this opportunity, Your Imperial Majesty?”
