Indestructible God King - Chapter 183.2

Chapter 183.2 What Talent! (2/2)

Someone in the crowd explained, “Se Yutian colluded with the righteous disciples to kill the Demon Sovereign! That’s the great sin of rebellion. If the Demon Sovereign was around, Se Yutian would surely not be forgiven! But the thing is… the Demon Sovereign is dead! That changes how the killing of the Demon Sovereign is regarded; it becomes a reshuffling of power within the demonic sect. Se Yutian took advantage of the righteous sect to kill the Demon Sovereign and take his power! No one can do anything about him since he’s a Parlor Lord. Moreover, the Demon Sovereign is already dead, so no one has had the thought to avenge him!”

“Uhh, the Demon Sovereign is such a failure when it comes to relating to others! There’s not even one person willing to avenge him!” Wang Ke sighed.

Long Yu stared at him and stretched a hand to give Wang Ke a good pinch in the waist.

“Ouch! Long Yu, what are you doing?” Wang Ke cried in pain.

“Go someplace else to do your flirtsy antics!” She Qingqing shot him a stare.

Wang Ke: “……! ”

“Se Yutian wants to become the Sect Lord? Is he really up for it? Will the other three Parlor Lords agree?” Long Yu asked with a frown.

She Qingqing replied, “Se Yutian’s letter says to invite all Parlor Lords to discuss over nominating the Sacred Child as the new Sect Lord!”

“The Sacred Child? He barely has any cultivation; how could he command the sect? No way he can become the new Sect Lord. He would only be a puppet, with the Parlor Lords having the real authority behind the scenes. They want to take control over the prince to command all the officials?” Wang Ke said, feeling surprised.

“Take control over the prince to command all the officials?” The demonic disciples’ faces turned grim.

“You know quite a lot, huh! But Zhu Hongyi said that things are not that simple!” She Qingqing replied.

“Oh?” Wang Ke said, his curiosity piqued.

“He said that Se Yutian’s goal is to decide on a new Sect Lord, and to use the tokens of all four Parlor Lords to open the Demon Sovereign’s Crystal Palace!” She Qingqing continued.

“What do you mean?” Wang Ke was astonished by the news.

Long Yu answered, “No one can open the Demon Sovereign’s Crystal Palace! Se Yutian can’t do it, either. But preparations were made in the past, all to be prepared for some special occasion; the Demon Sovereign designed a key which he split into four fragments and hid them inside the Parlor Lord’s tokens. In the event of the demonic sect being in grave danger and the Demon Sovereign absent, the four Parlor Lords and the Sacred Child together can open the Crystal Palace! Then they can get hold of the demonic sect’s Great Yin Scepter! This will help to destroy any intruder!”

Wang Ke realized the crux of the matter. “Oh, I see. Making the Sacred Child take the mantle is just a cover! Se Yutian’s true goal is to get the Parlor Lords’ support to open the Crystal Palace and plunder the Demon Sovereign’s treasury?”

“Hmm?” All the demons present found that conclusion reasonable. Long Yu’s face grew solemn.

“Se Yutian, what a b*stard. Damn it, he’s inhumane!” Wang Ke said, berating the mastermind.

“You feel indignant for the sake of the Demon Sovereign?” Long Yu looked at Wang Ke curiously.

“I just feel that he’s really irresponsible and selfish as a Parlor Lord. Why is he only gathering the Parlor Lords to loot treasure! We, the ordinary demonic disciples, belong to the demonic sect too! Why can’t we get some? Even some spirit stones are better than nothing!” Wang Ke raged.

Long Yu: “…………!”

“Yeah, yeah! Brother Wang really speaks to our hearts!” Everyone was filled with indignance. She Qingqing gave Wang Ke a strange look. How greedy can you be! Things are in such a mess, and yet you’re still thinking about money?

“I remember Zhu Hongyi took Zhu Yan to Demonic Dragon Island. Why is he here?” She Qingqing looked at Zhu Yan, feeling confused.

“Yeah, Zhu Yan came running back in a pathetic state after the Dragon Gate Assembly. Parlor Lord Zhu hated how immature he was, so he decided to bring him so he could get some experience. Why is he here now? Did Tong An’an capture him?” Everyone turned their eyes toward Tong An’an.

The latter and his companions were terrified. It’s a secret! And we are messing it up!

“Tong An’an, are you going to wait for me to start interrogating you?” She Qingqing looked at the accused in a threatening manner.

“Uhh, it’s… It has to do with a personal grudge!” Tong An’an cried out. His subordinates lowered their heads in silence, once they saw their boss take responsibility.

“A personal grudge?” She Qingqing asked doubtfully.

“That’s right,” Tong An’an roared, “I saw Zhu Yan leaving Demonic Dragon Island on his own. So I called the four of them to go after him. This b*stard always screws me up! Not once, but many times already. He lied to me so many times on Divine Dragon Island. Because of him, I, a Chapter Lord, was considered a wanted felon by the Demon Sovereign! He lied to me back in the Qing Capital, saying he would help me deal with Wang Ke. But in the end, he actually helped Wang Ke to catch me instead! He’s a liar! We have an irreconcilable grudge! I want revenge! Revenge!”

Tong An’an’s eyes turned red as he recounted the unpleasant past. I’m really too damn unlucky! I’m Tong An’an, clever in dealing with all men! I have an impressive network in the demonic sect, and almost everyone who sees me shows respect! But Wang Ke and Zhu Yan really screwed me up big time! Now I’m scurrying around like a street rat! I’m utterly miserable! His heart filled with sorrow as he recalled; tears flowed down his cheeks.

“I can’t get over it. Why! Zhu Yan, you b*stard! Why did you mess with me over and over again? Have I offended you in any way? I finally had the chance to catch you this time round! But now you asked Wang Ke to come here after I got you? You damn *sshole! I got caught again thanks to you! I hate you to the core! With every fiber of my being! How many years have I been in the demonic sect? I spent my days carefully and finally climbed up the ranks to become Chapter Lord! But now everything’s ruined because of you!” Tong An’an bawled even louder.

The demonic disciples fell silent. Even She Qingqing looked at Zhu Yan with a peculiar look as she heard Tong An’an’s miserable cries. You… you’re really good at getting on people’s nerves, huh? TL: The Chinese character for “Yan” also has the meaning of “dislike” or “hate.”

Everyone began to sympathize with Tong An’an.

Only Wang Ke looked at the latter with narrowed eyes, “What talent! Why haven’t I realized it before? You really have good control over your emotions and tears! Tsk, tsk! It’s such a pity for such a person to not work in sales!”

Only Long Yu—who was right next to him—heard what he muttered, “Wang Ke, what did you say?”

“Ah, nothing! I just thought that maybe it’s better to wake Zhu Yan up and ask him!” Wang Ke said.

Everyone turned their eyes toward him, then She Qingqing nodded. She tapped Zhu Yan’s forehead to make him wake up.

Only Tong An’an had a frightened look on his face, “Wang… Wang Ke! You… You are ruthless!” Damn, even I was convinced by my own acting! But, Wang Ke saw through it?

Zhu Yan regained consciousness and was stunned to see all those people. He felt elated when he caught sight of She Qingqing.

“Ancestral aunt-in-law! Quick, go to Demonic Dragon Island and save my ancestral uncle! Se Yutian and Zi Bufan want to harm him!” Zhu Yan cried out in horror.

“What did you say?” She Qingqing’s expression turned grim.

“My ancestral uncle asked me to leave the island to seek help before he passed out. Tong An’an and his men were sent by Se Yutian to chase after me! I was this close to not making it back!” Zhu Yan cried out in fear.

“Uhh?” She Qingqing turned her eyes to the captives with a murderous aura. Tong An’an and his men fell into despair. Sh*t! We can’t cover this any longer!
