Chapter 5383

Wu Hao opened the letter and saw the following words written on it: “Wu Hao, you have three days to deliver the sacrificial manual to the Broken Soul Valley. If you fail to do so, or if there is an ambush, we will collect your daughter’s body! – Evil Dao Hall”

The handwriting of the letter was illegible, revealing an air of arrogance and domineering.

After reading it, Wu Hao’s face darkened even more: “How dare the Evil Dao Palace be so arrogant!”

Seeing this, Liu Kun urged again, “Lord, there’s no time to lose. Agree to their terms. Within three days, we can secretly mobilize our forces and set up an ambush in the Valley of Broken Souls. We will definitely be able to rescue the princess and reclaim the sacrificial manual.”

Wu Hao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Let me think about this. You go down and heal your wounds first.”

Liu Kun knew that Wu Hao still had doubts in his heart, so he stopped trying to persuade him. He bowed and left.

After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Liu Kun sneered, “Wu Hao, let’s see how long you can hold out. Once you lose your patience, you’ll naturally hand over the sacrificial manual.”

After returning to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Liu Kun immediately summoned his trusted subordinates.

“Sir, what should we do next?” asked the counselor.

“Don’t be impatient.”

Liu Kun said, “Although Wu Hao is stubborn, he loves the princess the most. As long as we add fuel to the fire, he will definitely compromise.

Immediately send someone to Broken Soul Valley to set up a disguise as the base of the Evil Path Palace. At the same time, have someone closely monitor the movements of the Imperial Palace. If Wu Hao decides to hand over the sacrificial manual, report to me immediately.”

“Yes!” The counselor took the order and left.

Liu Kun sat in the study, holding a glass of fairy wine and savoring it carefully.

He seemed to have seen the scene of himself obtaining the sacrificial book, opening the seal of the demon soul, and controlling the entire Sixth Heaven.

At the same time, Kai and Zi Yuan were rushing towards the capital.

The two men concealed their auras and did not dare to delay along the way. In less than a day, they reached the north gate of the capital.

At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds suddenly came from the front. A team composed of thousands of imperial guards was marching towards the outside of the city, led by Wu Hao, the king of the Kingdom of God.

“It’s the king!” Zi Yuan said in surprise.

Kai’s heart moved, and he immediately went to meet him with Zi Yuan. “Lord!”

Wu Hao was thinking about how to rescue the princess when he heard someone shouting. He looked up and saw Kai and Zi Yuan. He was surprised and delighted: “Fellow Daoist Chen! Zi Yuan! Why are you back? Where have you been these days?”

“Lord, this is a long story.”

Kai said, “Let’s find a place to discuss it in detail.”

Wu Hao nodded and took Kai and Zi Yuan to a nearby post station.

After entering the inn’s wing, Wu Hao couldn’t wait to ask, “Fellow Daoist Chen, what on earth has happened to you these days? Why did you suddenly disappear?”

Kai then told the whole story about how Liu Kun had set a trap in the Prime Minister’s Mansion with the intention of seizing the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Golden Dragon Bloodline, as well as how he and Zi Yuan had broken through the siege and entered the Demon Suppression Tower to recover from their injuries and achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation.

“What? How dare Liu Kun be so bold!”

After hearing this, Wu Hao was furious. “I always thought he was just power-hungry, but I didn’t expect he had such wicked ambitions!”

“Lord, Liu Kun’s ambitions go far beyond this.”

Zi Yuan added, “We’ve heard Liu Kun’s confidants discussing his desire to sacrifice the Treasure Book and ally with the Evil Dao Palace to open the Demon Soul Seal and control the entire Sixth Heaven!”

“Sacrificial Book? Demon Soul Seal?”

Wu Hao’s face changed drastically. “No wonder Liu Kun kept persuading me to exchange the sacrificial manual for the princess. It turns out all this was his conspiracy! I’m afraid he was the one who planned the princess’s abduction!”

“The king is wise.”

Kai said, “Liu Kun kidnapped the princess simply to force the king to hand over the sacrificial manual. Once he gets his hands on it, the consequences will be disastrous.”
