Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 518: Chapter 348: Teaming Up to Kill (2)

”The Grand Inspector?”

Cheng Tianlong was slightly taken aback. As the captain of the Dajing City Law Enforcement Team, he was considered a high-ranking member of the Mirror Lake Royal Court and knew of Luo Feng’s existence. The man was powerful, but he hadn’t left a good impression on Cheng Tianlong. He was a reckless and arbitrary person.

”My Lord, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but that Grand Inspector is obstinate, conceited, and utterly self-centered. He shut down the Chaotic Heaven Enforcement Instrument, which suggests he’s up to no good. If we let him act so recklessly, I fear it will damage our Royal Court’s reputation.”

”I know.” Chen Jinghu sighed. ”Old Cheng, you and I have known each other for many years. You should know very well what kind of person I used to be. Now look at this wretched state I’m in, unable to live, unable to die... We are nothing but servants of the Miracle Divine Country. Do not resist. Do not question. Let me be your cautionary tale. Just follow orders!”

Cheng Tianlong fell silent at his words. After a long moment, he let out a heavy breath, bowed to Chen Jinghu with his hands clasped, and said no more.

But at that very moment, a figure flew into the sky, blocking Chen Jinghu’s path.

The newcomer wore a long dress and a veil over her face. It was a clone of the Mingyu Divine Lord.

Ordinary Players wouldn’t dare to fly within Dajing City, but the Mingyu Divine Lord was clearly unafraid. She exuded a cold, stern aura as she confronted Chen Jinghu, demanding, ”You are the Lord of this Mirror Lake Royal Court? I want to know what exactly you are all doing. The auction should be over, so why have you sealed off the Jade Palace!”

”Mingyu Divine Lord!”

Both Chen Jinghu and Cheng Tianlong could see the Mingyu Divine Lord’s identity information, and they were struck with great shock.

What kind of figure was the Mingyu Divine Lord? Even though this was just a clone, Chen Jinghu and the others dared not show any disrespect. Cheng Tianlong even hurriedly ordered the approaching Law Enforcement Envoys to back down.

Chen Jinghu also replied quickly, ”I never imagined a great personage such as yourself would descend upon my territory. This is my honor...”

The Mingyu Divine Lord snorted coldly. ”Cut the nonsense. Answer my question!”

”To be honest, I don’t know the specific reason myself. I only know that an incident occurred at the auction. The Jade Palace was likely sealed to capture a thief!”

”Capture a thief? Who is this thief?” The Mingyu Divine Lord stepped forward, her voice low. ”Let’s not mince words. You’re going after the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court, aren’t you? What do you plan to do to him? Capture him? Or execute him on the spot?”

”This... I do not know!”

”You don’t know? Hmph! Let me tell you something. That man is my brother-in-law, and he is under my protection! If you touch him without reason, I, the Divine Lord, guarantee I will launch an inter-realm war and flatten your Mirror Lake Royal Court!”

”Divine Lord, please don’t be angry. It’s still not clear what exactly happened inside the Jade Palace. Besides, my Mirror Lake Royal Court is a permanently neutral territory. Everything is being orchestrated by the Miracle Divine Country from behind the scenes...”

”Are you trying to use the Miracle Divine Country to pressure me? Hmph. The Miracle Divine Country also claims to be a permanently neutral Divine Country in the Fifth Dimension, but in my opinion, they’re the most detestable of all. Everything they do seems calculated to stir up chaos...”

The Mingyu Divine Lord had no love for the Miracle Divine Country. But although the Miracle Divine Country claimed to be permanently neutral, it was powerful, possessed many experts, and had significantly developed its military. Its overall strength was even greater than that of the Mingyu Divine Country.

Moreover, the Miracle Divine Country had signed agreements with multiple Stellar Influences, allowing Descenders to take up residence in the Mirror Lake Royal Court and welcoming investment, but not allowing Descenders to participate in the Mirror Lake Royal Court’s auctions.

The Cultivation Alliance had also signed an agreement with them, so the Mingyu Divine Lord couldn’t openly defy it.

Of course, if the Miracle Divine Country broke the rules and did something shameless, the Mingyu Divine Lord was no stickler for convention. She would definitely retaliate.

The Mingyu Divine Lord knew that Wang Yi was acting on her behalf. ’Getting his hands on that Yellow Springs Gu House definitely won’t be easy,’ she thought. She was afraid that Wang Yi was being targeted by the Miracle Divine Country or the Demon Realm Royal Court. If he fell here, it would be her fault for getting him killed.

Besides, the Mingyu Divine Lord was still thinking about teaming up with Wang Yi to go on a killing spree.

”I am entering the Jade Palace right now to see for myself what’s going on. If the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court is dead, you will all be buried with him. Not a single one of you will survive. I, the Divine King, have spoken. You can test me if you don’t believe it!” the Mingyu Divine Lord added fiercely.

Chen Jinghu hastily replied, ”Divine Lord, look at this inhuman state I’m in. Please believe me, I would gladly die, even if it meant sinking into the River of Souls. But I... I dare not defy the Will of the Miracle Divine Country. My superiors ordered me to seal the Jade Palace and forbid anyone from entering or leaving. Please, Divine Lord, don’t make things difficult for me.”

Cheng Tianlong also clasped his hands towards the Mingyu Divine Lord. ”Divine Lord, please understand. The one in charge right now isn’t Chen Jinghu, but the Miracle Divine Country’s Grand Inspector, Luo Feng, who is inside the Jade Palace. We are of low standing and dare not defy him. If you insist on entering the Jade Palace, then I’m afraid that, despite our inferior strength, we will have no choice but to rise up and fight!”

”The Grand Inspector, Luo Feng?” The Mingyu Divine Lord narrowed her eyes. This clone of hers had limited combat power. If the Law Enforcement Envoys really tried to stop her, she truly wouldn’t be able to get into the Jade Palace.

As for this Luo Feng, she vaguely remembered such a person, who seemed to hold a high position within the Miracle Divine Country.

Cheng Tianlong continued, ”Yes. His class is Master of the Yellow Robe, he’s level 598, and he is an Evil God. Though arrogant and conceited, he is quite powerful.”

”Oh? I haven’t even asked, yet you’re being so detailed. What’s this? Do you have a grudge against this man and want to use me to get rid of him?”

The Mingyu Divine Lord looked at Cheng Tianlong with great interest.

At this, Chen Jinghu spoke up again. ”How about this: Divine Lord, please wait here for a moment. Allow me to go inside and investigate. I will definitely report back to you...”

”Hmph, I’ll give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!”

The Mingyu Divine Lord was essentially taking the easy way out. She no longer blocked Chen Jinghu, instead sitting cross-legged in the void, waiting for his report.

As the Lord of the Mirror Lake Royal Court, no one would dare stop Chen Jinghu from entering the Jade Palace.

Inside the Jade Palace, many who had come for the auction had not yet left. They were now being detained and were not allowed to go outside. The palace was in a state of chaos, with many Players cursing or loudly protesting.

Chen Jinghu’s mount, a giant bird, was walking with its wings folded. He soon found Lady Yu.

Lady Yu was the host of the Jade Palace auction, but she was also a person with real authority. Like Cheng Tianlong, she was one of the few Players who had followed Chen Jinghu from the very beginning. The three of them were close and had once been friends who could talk about anything.

”Xiaoyu, what on earth happened?” Chen Jinghu asked.

”You actually came!” Lady Yu looked at her friend, who was now neither human nor ghost, and held nothing back. She told Chen Jinghu everything she knew, down to the last detail.

”That Luo Feng really is scum. Hmph, it fits the Miracle Divine Country’s style perfectly—one face for the public, another in private. They cultivate a good image externally while using vicious methods in the dark. If word of this gets out, who would dare to bid on items here ever again?”

Chen Jinghu muttered, then asked, ”According to you, not only did Luo Feng take the Yellow Springs Gu Object, but he also tried to ambush and kill the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court. It’s been some time now. How is the fight not over yet?”

Lady Yu nodded. ”The Lord of the Strongest Royal Court doesn’t seem to be a simple character either. There are spatial fluctuations in private room 666. The two of them are probably fighting in a Battle Realm right now. Who do you hope will win, my Lord?”

”What’s the use of hoping? Luo Feng is a level 598 Master of the Yellow Robe. How could the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court possibly be his match?”

Chen Jinghu was frustrated. ’This is going to be difficult to explain to the Mingyu Divine Lord,’ he thought. He figured he might as well wait for the battle to end and let Luo Feng deal with the Mingyu Divine Lord himself.

Inside the Battle Realm, the Ancient Priest Jiang Wanggong had already suffered heavy injuries. He had been sent flying by a whip of Luo Feng’s dragon tail, his left arm shattering on impact, leaving his upper body a bloody mess.

’It seems this is as far as I can go,’ he thought. ’So be it. I offer my life as a sacrifice! May the Ancient Gate open and send down a Divine Artifact to execute this Evil God!’

Jiang Wanggong suddenly sat down cross-legged, touched the spot between his eyebrows with his right index finger, and then his head drooped. Just like that, his life force vanished, and his body rapidly transformed into a white light that flew towards the distant spectator stands.

He had returned to his Chess Soul state.

But his technique had worked. A halo of light abruptly appeared in the sky, and from within it, a longsword slowly descended.

The longsword looked as if it were cast from bronze. It was enormous, and the name ”Xuanyuan” was carved onto its blade. The moment it appeared, it immediately locked onto Luo Feng.

Luo Feng’s body stiffened, restrained by a powerful force. His three heads looked up at the sky.

The next moment, the giant sword descending from the heavens stabbed down instantly. Luo Feng’s body was split open like a cloth robe, but what fell to the ground was yet another Yellow Robe.

”HAHAHA! A perfect opportunity to shed my skin! Allow me to show you all my ultimate form: the Dark Gold Nine-headed Serpent!”
