Chapter 5371

Inside the palace hall, Wu Hao listened to Zi Yuan’s detailed report. The jade cup in his hand shook slightly, his eyes filled with shock. “Golden Dragon Bloodline? Kai actually has such a background? I originally thought he was just a casual cultivator with outstanding strength, but I didn’t expect he had such a profound foundation!”

Zi Yuan bowed and replied, “Lord, Fellow Daoist Kai not only has a noble bloodline, but his strength is also unfathomable.

Even after Commander Ao Lie transformed into a dragon and attacked with all his might, he was still defeated by the power of chaos. His true combat power is probably at the peak of the ninth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and may even be at the threshold of the Human Immortal Realm.

Wu Hao suddenly stood up and paced around the hall, his face filled with excitement. “May God help my kingdom! With Kai’s help, we won’t have to worry about finding the Thunder Sound Bell or resolving the crisis of the Demonic Soul!”

He stopped, his expression becoming serious, “Zi Yuan, please ask Fellow Daoist Kai to come to the palace immediately. I have something important to discuss with him.

In addition, the order was passed down to seal the news that Kai possessed the blood of the Golden Dragon and only inform the core layer.

The Divine Realm is currently facing internal and external troubles. If the news spreads too widely, it may cause unnecessary trouble, especially for those in the Divine Temple and the Prime Minister’s side.”

“I obey your command.” Zi Yuan accepted the order and withdrew.

Soon, Kai followed Zi Yuan to the inner hall of the imperial palace.

Wu Hao personally stood up to greet him, his attitude even more respectful than before: “Fellow Daoist Chen, I didn’t know you had the bloodline of the Golden Dragon before, so I apologize for my negligence. I hope you will forgive me.”

“Your Majesty, you are very polite.” Kai bowed in return. “Bloodline is merely an innate gift. True strength requires cultivation.”

Wu Hao was even more impressed when he heard this. He quickly invited Kai to take a seat and ordered someone to serve him some celestial tea. Then he slowly spoke, “Fellow Daoist Chen, I asked you to come here today because I want to formally entrust you with the investigation of the Leiyin Bell. Right now, inside and outside the Divine Capital, you are the only one capable of taking on this important task.”

“If the demon souls of Leiyin Temple break through the suppression, I am afraid that my kingdom of God will also suffer. By then, the demon souls suppressed by my kingdom of God will probably break through the taboos.”

He paused, then took out a jade token engraved with divine patterns from his bosom and handed it to Kai: “This is the Kingdom of God’s ‘Exploration Jade Token’. Holding this jade token, you can mobilize the Kingdom of God’s secret forces to access confidential files inside and outside the capital.

Zi Yuan will assist you in the investigation. As for the Imperial Guards, Ao Lie is convinced by you and can be deployed at any time.”

Kai took the jade token, which felt warm in his hand. The divine patterns on the jade token were faintly flowing, and it was obviously an extraordinary magical weapon.

He didn’t expect that the Lord of the Kingdom of God would trust him so much that he could mobilize all the power of the Kingdom of God.

Kai nodded and said, “Don’t worry, my Lord. I will do my best to retrieve the Thunder Sound Bell. I just wonder how many clues the Divine Kingdom has about the collusion between the Evil Dao Palace and the Sixth Palace Master of the Divine Temple?”

“There aren’t many clues.”

Wu Hao sighed, his expression solemn, “The Evil Dao Temple operates in extreme secrecy. The Kingdom of God’s spies have investigated many times, but have only scratched the surface. They haven’t even been able to determine the location of their headquarters.

As for the Sixth Lord of the Divine Temple, although there are rumors that he has close ties with the Evil Path Palace, there is no concrete evidence. The Divine Temple has a huge influence in the Divine Clan. Without solid evidence, rashly touching him could trigger a conflict between the Divine Kingdom and the Divine Temple.

“I see.”

Kai pondered, “Then our first step should be to investigate within the Divine Capital. The theft of the Thunder Sound Bell is a secret, and not many people know about it. Perhaps we can find a breakthrough among the high-ranking officials of the Divine Kingdom. Also, I wonder what kind of character this Prime Minister, whom the King mentioned, is like?”

When Wu Hao heard the word “Prime Minister”, his brows furrowed slightly: “The Prime Minister’s name is Liu Kun. He has followed the late emperor for many years and controls the Kingdom of God’s ‘National Guard Legion’ with over 10,000 soldiers and is very powerful.

He appears to be loyal to the Kingdom of God, but I cannot guarantee complete trust. Liu Kun is extremely power-hungry and has wooed many officials in the court over the years, creating a complex network of influence. If you encounter anyone of his during your investigation, be cautious.
