Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdomâ¦
This place was completely different from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. The entire Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was filled with heavy water like an ocean.
But the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom didnât look much different from the ancestral land at first glance. If there was one thing, it was that the plants here were too dense.
Everything within sight was lush and verdant. The trees were abnormally tall and dense. Any tree was nearly a thousand feet tall.
The number one refiner of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, Wu Suchen, had already been in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom for several days.
But he didnât see the people he wanted to see.
The few times he asked for a meeting, the people of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom made excuses and rejected him.
The other party kept telling him to wait, but after waiting for a few days, Wu Suchenâs patience was about to run out.
âDonât go overboard, Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom!â Wu Suchen shouted angrily. âIâm here on behalf of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. You keep making excuses. This is a provocation to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!â
âBrother Wu, why do you say that?â A voice sounded outside the door, and then a tall young man walked in with a gentle smile. âMy Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom has always treated everyone with courtesy.
âBrother Wu, you suddenly came and wanted to meet the Green Emperor. This is really making things difficult for us. The Green Emperor is in seclusion. Itâs impossible for us to disturb his seclusion for you.â
Although the young man was smiling, his words were impolite.
âLin Kelei!â Wu Suchen narrowed his eyes coldly. âI naturally donât dare to disturb the Green Emperor. But I want to see Mu Zhixing. Is he also a big shot of your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?â
Wu Suchen stared at the young man with a cold expression. âYouâre making excuses. I have to suspect that youâre provoking our Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!â
âIâve already told you, Brother Wu. Mu Zhixing is training outside, and we wonât be able to find him for a while. If you have anything, you can tell me. When I see Mu Zhixing, Iâll tell him.â
âTraining outside?â Wu Suchen said coldly. âHe probably went to the ancestral land to train, right?â
âBrother Wu, what do you mean?â Lin Kelei frowned slightly. âThere are some things that canât be said casually!â
âYou should know very well if Iâm spouting nonsense,â Wu Suchen said. âLin Kelei, let me ask you. Mu Zhixing is from your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
You donât deny it, do you?â
âWhy should I deny it?â Lin Kelei said.
âThatâs good!â Wu Suchen said coldly. âMu Zhixing robbed my treasury and killed my Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdomâs Golden Dragon Guards in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom must give me an explanation for this!
âRobbed your treasury? Killed Golden Dragon Guards of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?â Lin Kelei was slightly stunned. âBrother Wu, Iâm afraid youâre mistaken. As far as I know, the weakest among the Golden Dragon Guards of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is at least at the half-step
Nomological realm.â
Lin Kelei said with a serious expression, âItâs true that Mu Zhixing is from my Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, but his cultivation is only at the Grotto-Heaven realm. Itâs impossible for him to kill the Golden Dragon Guards of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.â
âHeâs only at the Grotto-Heaven realm?â Wu Suchen frowned. âThatâs impossible!â
âBrother Wu, youâre being unreasonable.â Lin Kelei said coldly. âMu Zhixing is from my Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. How can I not know his cultivation level?
âIâve already said what I needed to say. If you insist on being unreasonable, although my Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom has always treated others with courtesy, itâs not like we donât have any thunder methodsO!â
Lin Keleiâs expression turned cold, and a fierce aura began to rise from his body.
âIâm being unreasonable? If you have the ability, get Mu Zhixing to come out and talk to me!â Wu Suchen shouted angrily.
âBrother Wu, I told you. Mu Zhixing is training outside and canât be contacted for a while!â Lin Kelei said coldly. âThatâs all I have to say. Brother Wu, please.â
âYouâ¦â Wu Suchenâs expression changed drastically. The other party had already opened the door to send him off. His attitude was so firm.
He knew that his trip had been in vain.
âVery well. I understand.â Wu Suchenâs expression was cold as he gritted his teeth. âYour Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom has indeed colluded with the remnants of the Heavenly Court.
âThis matter will not end here. Lin Kelei, remember what you said today. In the future, I hope you can maintain this attitude in front of your emperor!â
Wu Suchen flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
Watching Wu Suchen disappear into the distance, the expression on Lin Keleiâs
face became extremely solemn. Mu Zhixing⦠This person is indeed on the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdomâs personnel list, but why have I never heard of him?
Robbing Wu Suchenâs treasury and killing the Golden Dragon Guards of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is not something a Grotto-Heaven realm martial artist can do.
How can such a person be unknown? Who is he?
âLord!â
Just as Lin Kelei was pondering, a voice suddenly came from outside.
âCome in!â Lin Kelei said solemnly.
âLord, His Majesty has orders.â A person walked into the room and looked at Lin Kelei.
Lin Keleiâs expression turned solemn as he bowed. âAt His Majestyâs command.â
âLord Lin, His Majesty has ordered you to head to the ancestral land to meet a person called Zhou Shu,â the man continued.
âAncestral land? Zhou Shu?â Lin Kelei looked puzzled. âWhat are we going to do? Did His Majesty make it clear?â
âNo.â The person shook his head. âHe only said that you can decide everything on the spot. As long as you donât harm the interests of our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, itâs fine.â
Lin Kelei was shocked. These words were equivalent to giving him great authority. Making a decision on the spot without damaging the interests of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom meant that he could completely make some decisions on behalf of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
This was unprecedented.
Lin Kelei was a little terrified. âBrother, do you know who Zhou Shu is? What does His Majesty mean by asking me to go to the ancestral land?â
âI donât know.â The messenger shook his head. âYou are the person His Majesty trusts the most. Thatâs why he entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility.
Lord Lin, take care of yourself on this trip. Donât disappoint His Majesty.â With that, he turned around and left, leaving behind the puzzled Lin Kelei.
