Chapter 5377

“Send him in.”

Liu Kun stepped into the inner hall and bowed, his face showing a look of concern for the country and its people. “Your Majesty, I heard that there has been no progress in the theft of the Leiyin Bell, and the people of the Divine Capital have been in a state of panic recently. I am deeply concerned and have come to offer my advice to you.”

Wu Hao motioned him to stand up and said in a deep voice, “Just say what you want to say.”

“Lord, the demonic spirits are ready to make a move, the Evil Path Palace is eyeing us covetously, and the Divine Temple is unclear about its attitude. Our Divine Kingdom is in a difficult situation.”

Liu Kun sighed and said slowly, “I believe that the most urgent task is to consolidate our relationship with the Temple. As long as we can form an alliance with the Temple and gain its support, the Evil Path Temple will not dare to act rashly, and the matter of the Demonic Soul will be more secure.”

Wu Hao frowned slightly: “I have already planned the marriage, but Fellow Daoist Kai is investigating the Leiyin Bell, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run.”

“Lord, there is no time to lose!”

Liu Kun hurriedly said, “The Leiyin Bell has been stolen for many days, and there is no clue where to find it. If we delay the marriage any further, the Temple will probably think that our Divine Kingdom is not sincere.

The Third Palace Master holds a high position in the Divine Temple. If we can marry him, not only can we use his power to investigate the Evil Path Palace, but we can also enhance the status of our Divine Kingdom among the Divine Clan. Killing two birds with one stone!”

He paused, then added fuel to the fire, “I’ve heard that people from the Evil Path Palace have been active near the Divine Capital recently, seemingly trying to spy on the Demon Soul Seal beneath our Divine Kingdom.

Without the support of the Divine Temple, if the Evil Path Temple joins forces with other forces to attack, my Divine Kingdom will probably be unable to resist.”

Wu Hao was silent. Although Liu Kun’s words were a bit exaggerated, they were not without reason.

The Kingdom of God is now facing internal and external troubles and indeed needs the support of external forces.

Moreover, he had originally planned to let the princess marry the son of the Third Palace Master and take the opportunity to investigate the collusion between the Third Palace Master and the Evil Dao Palace. Liu Kun’s proposal seemed to fit in with his plan.

“You have a point.”

Wu Hao nodded slowly, “Then the matter of the marriage will be fully entrusted to you. Three days later, you will personally escort the princess to the Third Palace to complete the wedding.”

Liu Kun was delighted, but his expression remained respectful: “I obey your command! I will not let the Lord down!”

After leaving the palace, Liu Kun immediately returned to the Prime Minister’s Mansion and summoned his trusted subordinates.

“Sir, has the king agreed to the marriage?” asked the counselor.

“Humph, Wu Hao really took the bait.”

Liu Kun sneered, “This marriage is just a delaying tactic. In three days, I will not only kidnap the princess, but also use this opportunity to force Wu Hao to hand over the sacrificial manual!”

Everyone was shocked: “Sir, you want to sacrifice the treasure book? Do you really want to…”

“good!”

A hint of madness flashed in Liu Kun’s eyes, “The Sacrificial Manual contains methods to strengthen and destroy the seal of the Demon Soul. As long as we obtain it and then join forces with the Evil Dao Palace, we can open the seal and release the Demon Soul. Then the entire Sixth Heaven will be plunged into chaos.

I will then use the power of the Demonic Soul to get rid of Wu Hao and those old guys from Leiyin Temple, and the entire Sixth Heaven will be mine!”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, but more of it was greed – if Liu Kun could really control the Sixth Heaven, they, as his confidants, would surely rise to great heights.

“Your Excellency is wise!” everyone responded in unison.

“Okay, let’s go down and get ready.”

Liu Kun waved his hand and said, “Three days later, I will personally lead the team that escorts the princess. You will secretly arrange for someone to kidnap the princess immediately after leaving the Divine Capital.

Remember, you must do it secretly and don’t let anyone know.”

“Yes!” everyone answered!

On the other side, Kai gathered a gentle spiritual power at his fingertips and gently tapped Zi Yuan’s brow: “Hold on, I’ll take you to a safe place.”

Before he finished speaking, Kai waved his hand and the Demon-Suppressing Tower appeared.

Kai no longer hesitated and helped Zi Yuan step into the tower gate. The next second, the two of them found themselves in a completely different world.
