Chapter 187 - 186: Lure the Snake out of its Hole



“Your Majesty, the south is suffering from a severe drought, resulting in a famine. The people have no food to eat and are forced to dig for roots and eat tree bark. Many have starved to death because of this.”

Seated on his high throne, the King of Qi was puzzled, “Why are the people so foolish? If they can’t eat rice, why don’t they eat meat congee?”

The minister didn’t know how to respond and stuttered before finally saying,

“As you command.”

The King of Qi nodded, told the minister to leave, and thought that the people sometimes stuck to old ways and couldn’t adapt. As an emperor, he needed to think of clever solutions.

After the minister left, a person in a black robe quietly arrived in the palace. He lifted his hood, revealing he was the master of Qingming Tower.

Unknown to the three men in red, the renowned Master of Qingming Tower in the world of martial arts was also a court official.

Now, the three Red Robes were taking orders from Bu Jing, cutting off contact with the court. Buwu City had become the main base of the Red Robes, with the city lord imprisoned and no news coming out. The King of Qi was anxious as he had no one by his side.

Fortunately, the Master of Qingming Tower found an opportunity to quietly leave the Bu family and return to the court.

The Master of Qingming Tower whispered a few words in the King of Qi’s ear and handed over a copy of the “Outer Landscape Scripture of the Supreme Clarity”.

The King of Qi was not highly skilled in martial arts, so he didn’t understand the mysteries of the scripture. However, he knew from the Master of Qingming Tower that this book was essential for breaking through the limits of the human world and reaching new heights. It was invaluable!

“In a few days, those rebels will reach a new state. I urge Your Majesty to report this matter to the Heavenly King as soon as possible and ask for his decision.”

After clarifying the matter, the Master of Qingming Tower turned around to leave, returning to the Bu family to continue his undercover work.

He was aware of the power of the Twelve Heavenly Kings. In his view, the idea of breaking through and sustaining oneself was pure fantasy!

In front of the Heavenly Kings, they wouldn’t stand a chance!

Choosing to stand with the Heavenly Kings meant a few more years of life. Standing with Bu Jing meant not surviving even for two days!

Given this, it was better to show good faith early.

The King of Qi paced around the hall. He realized that the situation was out of his control, and he had to contact the ancestors.

The King of Qi was a heavy sleeper, which was his greatest strength.

Among the descendants of the Night Heavenly King, he was the soundest sleeper. The Night Heavenly King often contacted the King of Qi, usually without any problem.

Because the King of Qi was usually asleep.

“Ancestor, there is a man called Bu Jing in Buwu City who is said to be the son of Bu Wu, the martial arts alliance master from three hundred years ago, and one of the twenty-four princes at that time!”

“Bu Jing, I didn’t expect him to still be alive.” The Night Heavenly King muttered to himself, not letting the King of Qi hear. The King of Qi, ignorant of the origins of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, believed they indeed came from the Upper Realm to save the suffering people in the Lower Realm.

And of course, he, the King of Qi was a descendant of the immortals, with noble immortal blood flowing in his veins.

“I didn’t realize there was a realm beyond the human world’s peak. I always thought the peak of the human world was the end of the martial arts path.” The Night Heavenly King pondered, “The ‘Outer Landscape Scripture of the Supreme Clarity’, huh? Bu Jing truly is a prodigy.”

Then he frowned in concern, was Bu Jing that capable? Might there be a heavenly being supporting him, like with the messengers from the heavens?

If Bu Jing had backers, he definitely shouldn’t leave this secret realm.

If necessary, he could stay there for a lifetime.

The Night Heavenly King voiced his concern, to which the King of Qi replied, “According to the Master of Qingming Tower, Bu Jing came to this realization by observing the sun, moon, and stars. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

The Night Heavenly King nodded, feeling relaxed. It seemed he had been worrying too much. If Bu Jing had someone backing him, would he only aim to gather seven outsiders to avoid his pursuit and eke out a living?

Ha, the strength of the Divinity Transformation Stage was not something they could imagine. Could Bu Jing honestly believe that the unity of seven outsider martial artists meant they could defy him?

Naive, childish.

The strength of faith from the Ring Universe is divided equally among the twelve heavenly kings, enough to elevate them to the Divinity Transformation pinnacle. If it’s concentrated on one heavenly king, it’s enough to make him reach the Body Integration Realm. Then what would Bu Jing use to fight me?

“And because of Bu Jing’s cunning and deceit, there is an influx of ancient martial arts manuscripts in the market. The court must conduct a house-to-house search to stop the spread of these manuscripts.” The Qi King reported truthfully. If Bu Jing only reaches the peak in the human world, he would be able to forcibly stop people from learning these ancient martial arts manuscripts.

The Qi King didn’t want to bring up this matter, as it would lower the ancestral ancestors’ impression of him.

But he had to report it.

If Bu Jing becomes an external martial artist, let alone stop the spread of these ancient martial arts manuscripts, whether he, as an emperor, can even keep his head is questionable.

“Tsk, waste, always causing trouble.” The Night Heavenly King reprimanded the Qi King, and the Qi King could only bow his head obediently.

Bu Jing is not a threat, the real issue for the Night Heavenly King is the widespread availability of the ancient martial arts manuscripts. If people realize these ancient manuscripts aren’t as he described, they would start to lose faith in the heavenly kings.

Then, the heavenly kings’ roles as saviors would crumble. When disaster strikes, who would believe that the heavenly kings have the power to save the world?

It seems the only choice is to forcibly confiscate the ancient martial arts manuscripts, observe the effects, and if things still don’t work out, they’ll have to repeat what happened three hundred years ago: kill a few rebellious elements, confine the thoughts of several generations, cover up this part of history, and then reconsider how to fabricate another world-ending catastrophe.

The latter is what the Night Heavenly King did not want to see. He doesn’t care how many people die, what he cares about is that this process would waste too much time!

“I am aware of this matter.” The Night Heavenly King said before leaving the dream realm.

After the Night Heavenly King left, three figures appeared in the dream realm.

“I thought all twelve heavenly kings could come into the dream realm, so that we could capture them all at once.”

Bai Hongtu sighed, as the Sect Master of Dao Sect, it was only natural that he knew some of the Dream Path. Although he couldn’t compare to the great dreamer who created the Mysterious Secret Realm, it was effortless for him to infiltrate the half-finished dream realm of a Divinity Transformation Realm dropout.

At first glance, he could tell that this so-called Night Heavenly King was forcefully promoted with the use of elixirs. Calling him a dropout was already an overstatement.

As for the Dream Path that the Night Heavenly King possessed, it might appear incredibly profound to the people of Ring Universe. but to Bai Hongtu. it was simply a mess full of flaws.

If the Night Heavenly King dared to claim he mastered the Dream Path in the Nine Provinces, it would make the great dreamer turn in his grave.

Bai Hongtu even had the ability to reverse the situation, becoming the master of the dream realm and trapping the Night Heavenly King in a coma forever.

The three men knew the history of the Ring Universe had been altered and had planned accordingly.

Even though they didn’t know why the heavenly kings changed history, the heavenly kings definitely cared about it. So, as long as they changed history back and aroused people’s suspicion against the kings, the kings would be compelled to solve the problem.

Things proceeded as the three men had predicted. The matter of Buwu City was significant, and when the Qi King contacted the heavenly kings, the kings had to leave the secret realm.

If all twelve heavenly kings were to appear in the dream realm, things would be much simpler. The three of them surely had ways to kill them through the dream realm.

As long as they completely erase the consciousness that enters the dream realm, the owner of that consciousness will die. This is the lethal method of the Dream Path.

However, only the Night Heavenly King showed up, killing him would create an alarm, scaring the remaining kings from appearing.

“But the current situation is critical for them, they must come out of the secret realm in two days.” Jiang Li asserted.

The Night Heavenly King was unaware that because he was the only one who entered the dream realm, he escaped a catastrophe and could hide for two more days.

“How can this pig-like person become an emperor?” Yu Yin, who was also an emperor, looked at Qi King, who was still in the dream realm, with disdain. She thought the former emperor of Dayong, Emperor Yong Luo Zheng, was the absolute lowest an emperor could sink.

She never expected to see someone more foolish than Luo Zheng. How could someone be an effective ruler if they didn’t even understand the conditions of their own common people?

Qi King refreshed Yu Yin’s cognition.

Any emperor from the Nine Provinces would be better than Qi King..
