Chapter 55: Would You Believe Me If I Said It Wasn’t On Purpose…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Nine Netherworld Formation was one of the ancient killing formations.

There was no doubt about its killing power!

The willow tree on the cliff was speechless when it saw this scene.

These were just a few projections.

Moreover, there was no need to use the Nine Netherworld Formation even if their main bodies were here…

This was a waste of talent.

The little bird on the branch was also rather helpless.

His cultivation was clearly so high, but he did not know his limits and was still so cautious…

At this moment, in midair, the four figures felt the killing power slowly rising and their expressions could not help but change!

They could not resist this power at all!

They didn’t even have the slightest thought of taking on such a formation attack!

Run!

They could only run for their lives!

But how could Lu Changsheng let them go?

He immediately flipped his palm!

In the Nine Netherworld Formation, the River of the Dead turned into a cage that enveloped the four of them!

As for the barrier of the River of the Dead, it emitted an endless dead silence! When the four of them saw this scene, their expressions were extremely ugly. Even if they used all their methods, they would probably not be able to block the attack of the array formation!

“Why is there such a profound killing formation in this barren universe?!”

“Could it be that the Earth he’s talking about is really the high-latitude universe that we don’t know about?”

One of the men cupped his fists at Lu Changsheng and said, “Sir, please calm down. We don’t have any other intentions. We just want to befriend you.” Hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but sneer. “Who are you trying to fool? You’re already circulating your cultivation technique and preparing to attack. If 1 didn’t defend fast enough, wouldn’t you have succeeded?”

The four of them were on the verge of collapse.

Why would someone who could set up such a formation be afraid of the four projections?

Succeed? How were they going to succeed?

At this moment, the woman also said respectfully, “Senior, we have no intention of offending you. Please put away the formation. At that time, you can also obtain our friendship. Wouldn’t that be better?”

Friendship?’

Didn’t this mean that the other party wouldn’t pester him anymore?

Lu Changsheng was overjoyed. Just as he was about to agree, a voice came from outside the barrier.

“Master! We re back… Eh? Why is the barrier open?”

“Master, open the door!”

Hearing these two voices, Lu Changsheng’s face lit up. The chef… oh no, his disciples were back?

However, with this joy, he did not control the spiritual qi in his body for a moment and clenched his fists.

Immediately, the power of the Nine Netherworld Formation was released!

The water barrier formed by the River of the Dead also turned into a shocking wave at this moment, crushing towards the four of them from all directions! Rumble!

“You’ll pay!”

“In the future, it will be the end of you when my sect descends!”

Lu Changsheng was dumbfounded…

He lowered his head and looked at his clenched fist. He wanted to cry but had no tears. “1 said 1 didn’t do it on purpose. Is there a need to…”

At this moment, Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying arrived together.

“Master, we re back.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng turned around and looked at the two of them.

Ye Qiubai was shocked and said embarrassedly, “Uh… Master, what’s wrong?”

When Lu Changsheng thought of the revenge that those people would take, he was even more furious. He said to Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying, “I’ll punish you. Clean up the entire Cottage. You’re not allowed to use spiritual qi!”

This mountain belonged to the Cottage.

Not using spiritual qi to sweep a mountain?

How long would it take…

Most importantly, they did not know what mistake they had made…

However, they chose to shut up when they saw Lu Changsheng’s resentful face. They picked up their brooms and prepared to go down the mountain and start cleaning…

“Wait.”

Ye Qiubai and Hong Ying turned around in surprise.

Lu Changsheng pointed at the kitchen and said, “Go and cook first.”

Ye Qiubai: “…”

Hong Ying: “…”

On the other hand.

The Northern Region, Sunset Monarchy.

In a magnificent palace.

In the front was a dragon throne while a red sun was engraved at the back.

There was a faint might that caused the people below the dragon throne to have no choice but to submit to that red sun…

At this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting on the dragon throne.

The man was dressed in a golden dragon robe. On the dragon robe were nine golden dragons embroidered with five-colored clouds!

This person was the Ruler of the Sunset Monarchy.

At the same time, he was ranked fourth on the Ranking Of The Four Regions!

Huang Yitong meant Imperial unification of the four regions! It was clear how ambitious he was!

Huang Tianming was kneeling at the feet of the ruler.

Huang Yitong’s expression was quiet and one could not tell if he was happy or angry.

However, it was precisely because of this that people felt pressured!

“Tell me what you did wrong.”

Beads of sweat appeared on Huang Tianming’s forehead. He lowered his head and said, “I made the mistake of underestimating my enemy.”

Huang Yitong picked up his wine glass and took a sip. “Tell me about it.”

Hearing this, Huang Tianming replied, “I didn’t completely understand Ye Qiubai s network. I didn’t expect him to have such an expert to support him.

“He even obtained the support of the Northern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy’s Supreme Elder, Yun Jing.”

“Yes, go on.”

Beads of sweat on Huang Tianming’s forehead dripped onto the ground.

One could hear a pin drop!

“We didn’t get the Asura Cavalry, Jiang Jun, and the others to get rid of Ye Qiubai immediately, causing the other party’s reinforcements to arrive.”

“Hm…”

Huang Tianming panted heavily and endured the pressure as he continued, “Also… I mobilized the Asura Cavalry but failed to achieve the goal and caused the Asura Cavalry to lose close to half of their men.”

“Nothing else?”

“Father, please guide me.”

Huang Yitong raised his brows and looked at Huang Tianming. He said in a deep voice, “Huang Tianming, you still don’t understand. You’ve disappointed me.”

Huang Tianming’s face turned pale.

Huang Yitong stood up and looked at the red sun behind him as he continued: “Why didn’t Shadow Kill make a move?”

Huang Tianming’s face turned pale.

“You deliberately did not let Shadow Kill attack so that Ye Qiubai could die in your hands, right?”

Huang Tianming trembled.

Huang Yitong said, “You are the prince and the next heir to the throne. Do you know what this means?”

Huang Tianming understood what was going on. It was as if there was a foreign object stuck in his throat. He said with difficulty, word byword, “I shouldn’t let my emotions affect me. I should nip it in the bud immediately if I feel threatened.”

Huang Yitong continued, “The royal family is heartless. Killing decisively is the bottom line. If you feel threatened, you have to kill the other party even if he’s your kin. Do you understand?”

Huang Tianming nodded with difficulty.

“That woman might be someone you like, but she can be thrown away whenever she poses a threat to you. Have you done that?”

Huang Tianming did not say anything. At this moment, his entire body was drenched in sweat!

Huang Yitong suddenly turned around and shouted, “And what did you do instead?”

“I know my mistake…”

Seeing this, Huang Yitong waved his hand and said, “You may leave. I will announce that your position as the Crown Prince will be removed and will be inherited by my second son. You have to resolve this threat first if you want to take it back.”

“Yes…”
