Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Choice

’Divine Palace, Demon Palace?’ Lin Yun was puzzled. The others were even more baffled. ’What is this place? Not only are there people, but there are even factions?’

’Could this be another world for Martial Artists?’ everyone wondered.

However, it was obvious their thoughts were mistaken. Even with a Divine Emperor’s Cultivation, it would be impossible to seal off a Space larger than the Eastern Domain of the Celestial Spirit Continent. That was the absolute Limit.

Therefore, according to Lin Yun’s speculation, the area of this Space probably wasn’t very large—at least not as large as the Celestial Spirit Continent’s Eastern Domain.

The two were arguing. Hearing the black-clothed man, the white-clothed man looked toward Lin Yun and the others. A gentle smile on his face, he said, ”Everyone, the Demon Palace’s methods are cruel. You can come rest at my Divine Palace first. As for your safety, the Divine Palace will naturally protect you.”

”What did you say? We don’t even know if these people are the ’heaven-sent’ ones yet. With me here, don’t even think about taking them away so easily, Divine Palace,” the black-clothed man said angrily upon hearing this.

However, facing the black-clothed man’s furious shout, the white-clothed man showed no fear at all. He didn’t even spare him a glance, his gaze remaining on Lin Yun’s group with that same gentle smile.

After a moment of silence, they had to admit it. They had just entered this Space and knew nothing about it, and now a Divine Palace and a Demon Palace had suddenly appeared.

For now, the best course of action was naturally to join one of the factions and first figure out what this place was and how it was related to the mysterious ruins.

With a faint smile, Qing Zhu spoke first. ”In that case, we will have to trouble the Divine Palace. I am willing to pay a visit.”

Hearing Qing Zhu’s words, Lin Yun tilted his head slightly to look at her faint smile. ’Ever since entering the great hall of the ruins,’ he thought, ’the appearance of these ruins was probably no coincidence.’

Qing Zhu had told him to retrieve the key to the ruins from the Mysterious Forest. A few years later, the ruins had appeared. And judging from Qing Zhu’s every move, even if she didn’t know it like the back of her hand, she definitely had some understanding of it.

With Qing Zhu declaring her choice to join the Divine Palace, Wei Yunhang, Song Tianyang, and Lin Jianhong naturally followed her decision.

Looking at Qing Zhu’s fiery figure and exquisite face, a hint of delight appeared on the white-clothed man’s face. He then pretentiously walked over to Qing Zhu’s side and made a welcoming gesture.

”Miss, this way, please. The Divine Palace will naturally protect your safety.”

Qing Zhu’s group had chosen the Divine Palace, but Lin Yun’s group had yet to state their choice. However, the black-clothed men assumed Lin Yun and the others had also picked the Divine Palace. Instantly, the leading black-clothed man erupted with a thick killing intent.

”Brothers, kill these strangers for me!”

Just as the black-clothed man had said earlier, if he couldn’t have Lin Yun’s group, he would rather kill them. If they were the legendary heaven-sent ones, it would be troublesome if the Divine Palace got them.

Hearing the black-clothed man’s furious command, the dozens of black-clothed men who had stood up all unleashed their auras. Seeing this, the white-clothed men of the Divine Palace were not to be outdone. In an instant, the two sides were on the brink of conflict.

”I say, does your Demon Palace still dare to fight my Divine Palace? Don’t forget, you can only hole up in Demon City now. Do you really think you can kill someone in front of my Divine Palace with just these people behind you?” the Divine Palace leader snorted coldly.

Hearing this, the Demon Palace leader’s expression changed slightly. It was true. The Demon Palace was currently weak. After several consecutive battles, they had been no match for the Divine Palace, causing them to lose a lot of territory and their number of Martial Artists to plummet.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yun gradually understood.

Regardless of whether the Divine Palace and Demon Palace were related to the Divine and Demon Realms, Lin Yun knew from their exchange that the Divine Palace currently held the absolute advantage, while the Demon Palace was at a disadvantage.

With a slight smile, Lin Yun made his decision. Just as the Demon Palace leader was hesitating about whether to start a war with the Divine Palace right here and now, Lin Yun’s voice suddenly rang out.

”I am willing to go to the Demon Palace. I wonder if the Demon Palace can protect my safety?” ℯℯ𝘭.

Hearing this, the Demon Palace leader looked at Lin Yun with some surprise. Seeing the faint smile on Lin Yun’s face, he didn’t look like he was joking at all.

”Are you sure you want to choose my Demon Palace?” he asked, finding it hard to believe. After all, upon hearing that the Demon Palace was weak, probably no sane person would choose them.

The smile on his face unwavering, Lin Yun replied, ”Do I look like I’m joking?”

Lin Yun joined the Demon Palace. Little Ape and the Black-striped Tiger naturally followed him, and the Monk and Daoist went without saying. What surprised Lin Yun was that Xi Zijin also decided to choose the Demon Palace.

Looking at the situation, the Demon Palace had instantly evened the odds a bit, as Lin Yun’s side had more people.

A happy smile appeared on the Demon Palace leader’s face. He apologized profusely to Lin Yun and the others—after all, he had just ordered them to be killed a moment ago.

As for the Divine Palace leader, his expression turned ugly. His side only had four people, while the Demon Palace now had six.

Everyone had chosen their respective sides, the Divine Palace or the Demon Palace. Lin Yun went to the Demon Palace’s side, while Qing Zhu went to the Divine Palace’s. Looking at Lin Yun, Qing Zhu said with a smile,

”Lin Yun, must we stand on opposite sides every single time? Do you really want to be my enemy that badly?”

Hearing Qing Zhu’s words, Lin Yun calmly replied, ”People with different principles cannot work together. Miss Qing Zhu, you and I have long been enemies, haven’t we?”

”Heh, fine. In that case, let’s settle the score in this world first.” A flash of anger crossed Qing Zhu’s eyes as she spoke coolly.

It was the first time Lin Yun had seen anger in Qing Zhu’s eyes. ’I suppose my choosing the Demon Palace will pose a significant obstacle for her,’ he guessed.

Though he didn’t know what that obstacle was, Lin Yun couldn’t care less. Right now, what he wanted to know most was what this place was, and what kind of secrets the mysterious ruins held.

The Demon Palace leader wore a satisfied smile. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lin Yun and his group, he ignored the people from the Divine Palace and turned to leave with them.

However, just as Lin Yun’s group turned and took a few steps, the Divine Palace leader suddenly attacked, striking with his palm toward the center of Lin Yun’s back.

It was such a low-level sneak attack. Moreover, the Divine Palace Commander’s Cultivation was only at Celestial Spirit Realm Perfection. Faced with this palm strike, Lin Yun cleverly turned to dodge it while simultaneously throwing a punch.

Faced with Lin Yun’s counterattack, the Divine Palace leader had no choice but to retreat.

Having successfully neutralized the Divine Palace leader’s sneak attack, Lin Yun’s expression remained unchanged. The Demon Palace leader beside him, however, was slightly surprised.

Lin Yun’s Combat Power astonished him. To be able to so skillfully evade that sneak attack was proof that Lin Yun’s Combat Power was by no means ordinary.

But after only a moment of shock, the Demon Palace leader turned to the Divine Palace leader with a furious look.
