Chapter 1792: The Alien Spirit King City
Library of Heaven's Path · 第1792章 异灵王城
Hearing this voice, the alien spirit stiffened, his body trembling involuntarily as he quickly looked up.
"You are... Teacher?"
This voice was too familiar; it appeared in his dreams day and night, and he knew who it was as soon as he heard it!
"It's me. How did you become an alien spirit? And how did you end up here?"
Zhang Xuan was full of confusion.
Although the alien spirit before him was well-disguised, with a killing aura that seemed orthodox and rich, it could not deceive his Mingli Eye. He saw at a glance that it was none other than his student Liu Yang, who had left without saying goodbye in the Qingyuan Empire.
Because the other students were too outstanding, he couldn't bear the pressure and left without a word. Zhang Xuan had asked Zhao Ya, Zheng Yang, and others to send people from the Ice Field Palace, the War Master Hall, and even the Master Teacher Hall to search for him, but there was no news.
He never dreamed that Liu Yang would be taken as a student by Wuchen and brought to the alien spirit race!
"I'll explain this to you in detail later, Teacher... Chenyong Emperor doesn't know my true identity... I hope you'll keep it a secret!" Liu Yang transmitted his voice.
"Mm!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
He could also see the situation before him, which was why he had only transmitted his voice earlier and not spoken aloud.
"Do you two know each other?"
Although their transmission was fast, Wuchen still noticed something amiss and looked puzzled.
"No, I just found your student exceptionally talented, so I quietly asked him a few questions about cultivation..." Zhang Xuan said with a light smile.
"Questions about cultivation?" Wuchen was taken aback. Seeing that Zhang Xuan didn't want to say more, he didn't press further and instead asked, "How are things in the city now?"
This was what he cared about most at the moment.
"Ling Emperor and Xing Emperor returned to the city a month ago and announced that you had been killed by the humans, and that they were also injured. Now... the emperor's army is under their control, and many powerful officers have been replaced. Even if you return, you probably won't be able to mobilize them or have them obey orders."
Liu Yang said.
Unexpectedly, these two emperors had indeed cut off all his retreat routes, just as he had guessed. Wuchen's face turned ashen.
"Where are the officers who were replaced?"
These were all strong men loyal to him. If he could find them, there might still be a chance to turn things around.
"After being removed from the army, they all met with misfortune within a month... They're all gone."
Liu Yang said.
"Met with misfortune?" Wuchen staggered.
He knew Ling Emperor was ruthless, but he didn't expect him to be this ruthless!
He really was uprooting the weeds and leaving no chance for him.
"How are the two of them physically now?" Suppressing the anger in his chest, Wuchen continued to ask.
Having been ambushed by him, both were severely injured. Although not as badly as him, their foundations must have been damaged, and they wouldn't recover easily.
As long as they were still injured, there was an opportunity.
In other words, at their level, personal strength was the most critical; so-called armies and political power meant nothing.
If he could kill these two traitors and then announce his return, wouldn't those subordinates obediently follow orders again?
"I couldn't find out the specifics. Their physical condition is now top secret..." Liu Yang shook his head.
Wuchen was not surprised. If such secrets were easily known, these two wouldn't have been able to set him up so badly that he nearly died in a foreign land.
He continued to look at Liu Yang and asked, "You should know roughly how many ancient sages they have won over."
After plotting to kill him, Chen Ling Emperor and Chen Xing Emperor would inevitably win over a large number of ancient sages.
This was the most fundamental force.
"According to my intelligence, eight kings, including Ji King, Huai King, and Mang King, have been recruited and have fully joined their camp, following their orders..."
Liu Yang continued.
"Ji King, Huai King, Mang King? Hmph!" Wuchen waved his arm.
Under the three alien spirit emperors, there were fourteen peak kings. Ji King and Huai King were among the strongest, each reaching the ancient sage level, with some even at the third level of Dripping Blood Rebirth!
As feudal kings, they usually couldn't be commanded. Unexpectedly, they had colluded with Chen Ling Emperor and Chen Xing Emperor.
"Eight kings plus two emperors, equivalent to ten ancient sages... Your Majesty, do not act rashly, or it will be too dangerous..."
Liu Yang quickly said.
Ten ancient sages. If Chen Yong Emperor were at his peak, they might not dare to do anything, but now... if he charged in, he would surely die.
"I know!" Wuchen's brow furrowed into a knot.
He had come back to take revenge, but with so many ancient sages gathered against him, charging in now would be like a lamb walking into a tiger's den—certain death.
"I need to go to Yuandang Mountain."
After a moment of silence, Wuchen said.
"Yuandang Mountain?" Liu Yang was puzzled.
Having come this far, why go to such a place instead of trying to seize power?
Yuandang Mountain was a dangerous place for the alien spirits. Even Chen Yong Emperor at his peak was unwilling to enter it, yet now he wanted to go there. It was baffling.
"Yes, Yuandang Mountain is indeed a dangerous place, but it is also the cultivation site of Ancient Sage Boxun. Now, I can only see if he will help me... His strength is not much weaker than mine at my peak. If he acts, there will be hope of victory."
After a pause, Wuchen said.
With his current strength, he certainly couldn't defeat ten ancient sages, so he had to find a helper.
"Ancient Sage Boxun? I've heard of him. Wasn't it said that he fell three thousand years ago?"
Liu Yang was shocked.
"He didn't fall. He just went deep into Yuandang Mountain and never came out! His strength back then was comparable to mine. How strong he is now, no one knows... Perhaps he has already surpassed Dripping Blood Rebirth."
Wuchen nodded.
"Since he doesn't want to come out, getting him to help... should be very difficult, right?"
He had been hiding for three thousand years. Regardless of his strength, it showed he didn't want to get involved in worldly affairs. Even at your peak, you might not be able to invite him out. Now, it's probably even harder.
"Difficult as it may be, I must invite him out. Otherwise... we will surely die, and even you won't be spared."
Wuchen shook his head.
If he truly died, all the clansmen of Chen Yong Emperor's lineage would be slaughtered. There was no doubt about that, so he couldn't afford to hesitate.
"Wuchen is right. Where is Yuandang Mountain? And what method should we use to invite him out?"
Zhang Xuan spoke.
For the long-term peace of humanity and to successfully find Luo Ruoxin, Chen Ling Emperor and Chen Xing Emperor must die. Since he had followed them here, there was no turning back.
"Yuandang Mountain is about a hundred thousand kilometers from here. It's not far, and we can make a round trip quickly. However, this Ancient Sage Boxun has a strange temperament and may not be easy to persuade."
Rubbing his brow, Wuchen said.
