Chapter 5636
Kai remained vigilant, cautiously making his way deeper into the valley.
The miasma here had little effect on him; his physical body had developed a strong resistance.
After walking for about an hour, Kai heard voices ahead.
He quickly concealed himself and observed carefully. He
saw three figures not far ahead.
One of them wore a golden robe and appeared to be a God-King, but his eyes were empty and his face expressionless, clearly under someone’s control. The
other two wore white robes; they were the First and Second Temple Masters of the temple.
“First Temple Master, how much longer do we have to wait? Why haven’t the people from the Evil Path Temple arrived yet?”
the Second Temple Master said impatiently.
They had been controlling the God-King for a long time, waiting here, but the people from the Evil Path Temple had never come.
In fact, they didn’t know that the Witch Prince and the Grand Elder, who had originally come to see them, were already dead.
Even the Heavenly Venerables and Dharma Kings were dead.
At that time, Prince Wu, accompanied by the Grand Elder, went to see the Third Palace Master to help him take over the Divine King Palace. Afterwards, he planned to go to the Nine Heavens to meet the First and Second Palace Masters and take the Divine King away.
However, things went wrong; he failed to take over the Divine King Palace and was killed.
Currently, the Evil Path Palace hasn’t sent anyone to assist the First and Second Palace Masters in the handover.
“What’s the rush? The people from the Evil Path Palace said they’d come today,” the First Palace Master said coldly. “As long as we hand over the Divine King to them, we’ll get what we want.”
“When we go back, we’ll say the Divine King perished while searching for the Tianmen Mountain ruins, and I’ll be the Divine King from now on.”
“Once I become the Divine King, I’ll definitely kill that woman Ling Xi and make her oppose us forever.”
“But I still feel uneasy,” the Second Palace Master said. “What if the Fourth Palace Master finds out and reports it to the Divine Clan? We’re finished.”
“The Clan Chief doesn’t allow his people to cooperate with demonic cultivators!”
“Don’t worry, as long as we get the benefits, we’ll return to the Eighth Heaven and rape and kill Ling Xi without anyone interfering,” said one of the palace masters.
Hearing this, Kai understood everything. It turned out these two palace masters had betrayed the God King and wanted to hand him over to the Evil Path Palace.
Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance.
Several cultivators dressed in black robes approached, led by an elder of the Evil Path Palace.
However, judging by his strength, he was considerably weaker than the Grand Elder.
Sending only an elder showed that the Evil Path Palace didn’t seem to take this matter seriously.
“Hahaha, I didn’t expect you to actually dare to betray the God King,” the Evil Path Palace elder laughed loudly.
“Enough nonsense, did you bring what we asked for?”
the first palace master said coldly.
“Of course I brought it.” The elder of the Evil Path Hall took out a storage bag. “This contains what you want. As long as you hand over the God-King, this storage bag is yours.”
The Hall Master took the storage bag, inspected it, and nodded in satisfaction: “Very good, the God-King is here. You can take him.”
The elder of the Evil Path Hall walked up to the God-King and carefully examined him: “Not bad, it is indeed the God-King. We need to refine this God-King’s soul.”
Just then, Kai emerged from his hiding place.
“You seem to have forgotten to ask for my consent,” Kai said calmly.
Everyone turned around, looking at the suddenly appearing Kai in surprise.
“Who are you?” the Hall Master asked sharply.
“Who I am is not important. What is important is that you cannot take the God-King away today,” Kai said.
The elder of the Evil Path Hall sized up Kai and sneered: “Boy, I think you’re tired of living. This is not a place for you. If you know what’s good for you, get lost.”
