The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 402
Chapter 402 Inviting the Sovereign to the Urn
Hearing Lin Zhentian’s tone, Zhang Liang naturally knew that he had believed eighty to ninety percent of the time, but he still replied seriously, “Yes …”
“Presumably, the City Lord should be aware that the Corpse and Beast Races have entered a critical period of evolution, that is, reaching the peak of the Fifth Order and reaching the Sixth Order.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhentian nodded, but he did not draw any illustrations. He only signaled for Zhang Liang to continue.
Zhang Liang did not hesitate and continued seriously, “According to the Rock King’s deduction, rank six will be an extremely crucial rank for humans, zombies, mutated beasts, and all mutated creatures.”
“Of course, the Rock King didn’t elaborate on how important it was. He only said that the changes would be enormous and earth-shaking!”
“Because of this, the Rock King is well aware of the terror of the Domain Master Corpse King. He claims that they will be even more difficult to deal with after reaching the sixth rank. It will be extremely difficult to kill them.”
“Therefore, the Rock King plans to kill Blood Eye, the Corpse King of the Bloody Domain, with several peak Tier 5 evolvers in Rock City and the innate ability of the Storm Queen.”
“At that time, this plan was the top secret of Heavenly Rock City. It was called the Eye Extinction Plan, and the time was set one week before the grand ceremony of Heavenly Rock City Academy.”
“As far as I know, the final executives of this plan are the Stone King-Zhu Yifan, the Storm Queen-Fei Na, the Azure Flame Condor King, the Azure and Red Queen, the Colorful Snake King, and the Four Great Mutated Beast Kings.”
“As for the result, I’m not sure. When the Rock King and the others returned, it was also the time for the corpses to surround the city.”
“After that, I was brought to the Rock Soul Pagoda by the two higher-ups of the Dark Tribe when I was exposed for stealing the Rock King’s true blood. It just so happened that there was an explosion in the city.”
“At the top of the Rock Soul Pagoda, I had a brief exchange with the Rock King. Under his distraction, I managed to obtain a sliver of hope and slip away from his hand.”
“According to my usual practice with him, if he wasn’t injured, or even if he wasn’t seriously injured, no matter how much distraction he had, my chances of escaping from his hand would be less than one-tenth.”
“But I escaped, and I only paid the price of minor injuries. When I fought against him, I could clearly sense that his crystal power was incomparably vague and magnificent.”
“If it weren’t for that, I would at least have been seriously injured. I might even have died on the spot.”
“So, if the City Lord asks me, then what I can tell you is my judgment. The Rock King should be injured, and he should be seriously injured.”
“In a short period of time, my combat strength will be greatly reduced. I might be able to deal with some mixed fishes, but I’m afraid that if I encounter a Tier 5 or higher evolver, my true form will be revealed.”
“Of course, after I think about it, there is another possibility.”
“That is, the Rock King intentionally deceived me, or used me as bait to try to find the person behind the theft.”
“The Rock King has always had grievances, vengeance, and never shown mercy. It’s not impossible for him to do so.”
“Although I am inclined towards the former two possibilities, I still need you to come to the final conclusion.”
As Zhang Liang finished speaking, his words could be said to be all-encompassing, but they were incomparably rounded, causing Lin Zhentian to be incomparably shocked.
In fact, he never thought that Zhang Liang would actually make such a detailed report, and even add his own analysis afterwards.
After expressing his views, he even expounded on the possibility of reversal that he had thought of.
It was rare to see such a subordinate. Lin Zhentian couldn’t help but feel extremely happy that he could subdue such a subordinate as Zhang Liang.
Lin Zhentian said, “I already know what you said. I’m afraid the Rock King is seriously injured.”
“As for the other possibility you mentioned, it’s almost zero. As a qualified superior, I’m in the same situation as you.”
“Absolutely no one will choose to deliberately let you out of the city, because the price of following the vines is too great. Even fools know your value.”
“As for intentionally letting you out of the city, the variables in the middle are unbearable. As a qualified high-ranking Rock King, he would never use such a stupid trick.”
“So, it’s not that the Rock King doesn’t want to keep you, but you brat, your life shouldn’t be extinguished. It just so happens to be at the time when the Rock King is at his weakest.”
‘”Corpse pack restraint, severe injuries to yourself, severe injuries to the Storm Queen, all the Beast Kings are probably extremely weak. In addition to your familiarity with the operation mode of the Dark Tribe, this is the fundamental reason why you were able to escape from Heavenly Rock City so quickly.”
“Of course, if you say 10,000 Dao, the Rock King will be seriously injured or cheated. Tonight, we will know.”
Lin Zhentian’s final conclusion caused Nongyu, who was still at the banquet, to feel uneasy. It seemed that the news that the Rock King was seriously injured must be confirmed tonight.
In fact, as a person from Qilin City, Nongyu was still able to sit at the banquet. Naturally, it was after the Azure Dragon and Qilin City tacitly agreed.
Qilin City became a peacemaker, allowing Zhang Liang to quickly enter Azure Dragon City. Naturally, Azure Dragon City also needed to show some respect.
The most straightforward thing to say was to give some information to Qilin City.
Otherwise, how could Nongyu, who belonged to Qilin City, sit at the banquet given to Zhang Liang by Azure Dragon City?
Nongyu had a good view of everything that had happened today. Most importantly, the matter of the Rock King being seriously injured could be concluded tonight.
After hearing Lin Zhentian’s conclusion, Zhang Liang was secretly delighted. He didn’t doubt Yifan at all.
With Yin Yao’s IQ and Li Feng, Yifan’s play was definitely spectacular.
His heart rippled, but his mouth was filled with incomparable compliments, “Lord City Lord is wise. It seems like he has already made plans.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhentian smiled indifferently and said, “Zhang Liang, being too modest is not a good thing. With your ability and talent, you are the guest of honor wherever you go.”
“Alright, you’re in such a hurry. Now that you’re here, you can eat a good two mouthfuls. You can wait for your parents to arrive safely.”
Hearing this, Zhang Liang accepted the kindness as well. He picked up his chopsticks and replied, “Thank you for your concern, City Lord. Then I won’t be polite.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhentian laughed loudly, “Alright …! That’s right.”
“Miss Nongyu, Golden Armor, you are all people who have made great contributions this time. Don’t be so polite. Come… Come…”
Lin Zhentian seemed to be quite happy. He even began to greet the two of them with golden armor and jade, making them feel rather flattered.
Very quickly, Lin Hong, who had just gone out to deliver the order, quickly returned to the banquet hall. The banquet was still going on, but the atmosphere at the banquet was naturally incomparably harmonious due to Zhang Liang’s subordination.
In Heavenly Rock City, in the City Lord’s Mansion, in the banquet hall.
It was also a banquet. The atmosphere of the banquet in Heavenly Rock City was not so harmonious. After all, it was a gathering of the ten cities of China.
The complexity of the scene was not something that ordinary people could imagine. It looked exceptionally hot and happy, but there was a surge of undercurrents in it, and it was on the verge of exploding.
During the banquet, there was a table full of colorful and fragrant dishes, nine cold dishes, ten main dishes, seven flavors of dessert, exquisite eyes, and a fragrant smell.
In the history of Heavenly Rock City, there were naturally some cards for the highest-grade banquet.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the atmosphere in the hall reached its peak. Due to the existence of Yifan, the chairmanship naturally became the focus.
The crowd at the second banquet also took advantage of this atmosphere to rush over to the chairmanship and start toasting one by one, as if they wanted to intoxicate Yifan.
However, it was obvious that it was impossible for them to intoxicate Yifan, and they did not think of intoxicating him. This was just a way for them to pay their respects to the Rock King at the dinner table.
Of course, there were quite a few people among them who did not express respect, but instead took the opportunity to probe again and again.
For example, Lin Tian from Azure Dragon City, Li Xiuqing from Black Tortoise City, Zheng Feng from Vermillion Bird City, and Yang Tianzong from Baize City.
These fellows, they all wished to use the banquet to inquire about the Rock King’s real situation.
Of course, it wasn’t that Yi Yu and Jin Lin didn’t want to inquire about the Rock King, but they knew that someone would soon verify this question for them.
As for Yi Yu and Jin Lin, they were probably the two most uneasy eaters at the dinner table tonight. From time to time, they would pay attention to the time on the crystal watch in their hands, as if they were waiting for something.
In fact, the two of them were naturally waiting for the news of victory from the commoners, but there was no news from the other side, causing the two people at the dining table to feel anxious and uneasy.
Yi Yu even began to doubt whether the person who had left behind the jade was reliable or not.
Didn’t he say that there were dozens of experts? Adding on the jade that had been mixed up in the small and medium-sized cities yesterday, there shouldn’t be any problems.
This place was also calm. Logically speaking, it should be done. However, the two of them did not receive any feedback.
This made the two extremely angry and anxious in their hearts. It was already 6:50. If they did not succeed, there should be a message coming over, right?
What exactly was going on in the civilian area?
In fact, the people of Qilin City, led by Jade, had indeed encountered some situations. As a result, they did not follow their original plan and immediately carried out their mission after arriving at the county.
Heavenly Rock City, West Civilian District, Roof C Building.
Building C? That’s right, it’s the roof of building C.
Dozens of ghost-like figures were staring at Room 1022 of Building G.
At this moment, the doors and windows of Room 1022 were wide open, as if they had been waiting respectfully for a long time, as if inviting a gentleman into an urn.
In such a situation, the jade on the roof of Building C was naturally a little uncertain.
After synthesizing information from Yi Yu and Gong Yu, she only knew that the item was in the room with the doors and windows wide open, in the hands of a woman named Huan Mei.
This woman was originally a person from a small city in the surrounding area of Heavenly Rock City. Due to her special innate ability, she was picked up by Azure Dragon City. After receiving the goods, she hid in the city.
Ever since Zhang Liang revealed that he had escaped, this woman had not revealed any information except that she had passed on her own safety at the first possible moment, and that she had already obtained the item.
Logically speaking, this should be an extremely cautious woman, but today, at this time, this woman opened the doors and windows wide.
The situation was so strange that Jasper was in a dilemma. She wasn’t too afraid of exposure. She was young and could die at most.
However, if she exposed her opponent, attracting the attention of Heavenly Rock City, and losing the Rock King’s true blood, then she would die without redemption. All the previous efforts of the organization would be wasted because of her recklessness.
However, the current situation was so strange that she did not have enough information to support her. Whether she could enter or not, or even stay here, it seemed that she might not be safe!
What should we do…?
