Lin Kelei didnât want to fight the Black Emperor. He was no match for him.
Zhou Shu of the ancestral land⦠Is he a remnant of the Heavenly Court? Why did the emperor ask me to meet him?
Lin Kelei had been thinking about this along the way.
His emperorâs thoughts were unfathomable. No one knew what he was thinking.
But if he didnât act in line with his emperorâs wishes, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Although the emperor was benevolent, it was hard to predict the heart of heaven. Lin Kelei didnât dare to take that risk.
He had grown from an unknown little martial artist to one of the top existences under the Green Emperor of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. This was all thanks to his cautiousness!
In his opinion, he had to be extremely cautious in everything he did.
Lin Keleiâs gaze landed on a wounded soldier in the army.
He was injured and looked terrified. This soldier might have escaped from the ancestral land!
Lin Kelei made a judgment.
He moved quietly, quickly arrived beside the soldier, and asked familiarly,
âBrother, are you feeling better?â
The soldier looked at Lin Kelei strangely. Although he didnât know him, judging from his attire, he should be someone from the military.
âI wonât die so easily,â the soldier said. âCompared to my brothers who died on the other side, my injuries are nothing.â
âSigh, how did this happen?â Lin Kelei sighed. Although he didnât know the exact situation, he could guess something from the soldierâs tone.
âThatâs right. Who would have thought that mere remnants of the Heavenly Court would be so strong?â The soldier didnât suspect anything and sighed. âTwo Dragon Boats were destroyed. Brother, you didnât see it. More than ten Golden Dragon Guards were killed by some king with a single strike. It was terrifying! â
There was a hint of fear in the soldierâs eyes. Even now, he was trembling slightly.
âKing?â Lin Kelei looked curious. âAre the remnants of the Heavenly Court really that powerful? Do you know what the kingâs name is?â
The soldier said, âThe other remnants of the Heavenly Court are not that strong. There are only a few of them, and they might not be remnants of the
Heavenly Court. The commander said that they might be people from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom in disguise. That king seems to have the surname
Zhou..
âZhou Shu?!â Lin Kelei said.
âHow do you know?â The soldier looked wary and frowned.
âIâve heard the commander mention this name.â Lin Kelei avoided the question. Fortunately, the soldier didnât suspect anything. After all, they were in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Lin Kelei asked a few more questions. After talking for a while, he quietly blended into the crowd.
The Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom didnât send anyone to help the remnants of the Heavenly Court. Lin Kelei pondered. Zhou Shu was actually able to kill more than ten Golden Dragon Guards with a single strike. With such strength, heâs probably not inferior to me. Could he be related to our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom ?
Lin Kelei was a little puzzled. Apart from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and the other heavenly kingdoms also had ideas about the ancestral land.
But none of them wanted to be the first to take action and be used as a pathfinder.
Could His Majesty have sent people to sneak into the ancestral land and pretend to be remnants of the Heavenly Court?
The more Lin Kelei thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
If not for this, how could the remnants of the Heavenly Court in the ancestral land have an expert who could kill more than ten Golden Dragon Guards with a
single strike?
Back then, when the Five Leaves Bloomed on One Flower, the flower, which was the ancestral land, was equivalent to being locked up. Under ordinary circumstances, there were no powerful martial artists there at all.
This makes sense, Lin Kelei thought. IfZhou Shu is a spy sent by His Majesty to the ancestral land, then the emperor must have sent me here to cooperate with him.
The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom is attacking the ancestral land on a large scale. Zhou Shu definitely canât handle it alone, so he asked His Majesty for help. His Majesty sent me because the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom canât interfere openly.
I understand what you mean, Your Majesty.
Lin Keleiâs eyes lit up.
He had finally sorted out the cause and effect!
Now that I know what His Majesty was thinking, everything will be easy. Lin Kelei instantly thought of several ways to help Zhou Shu. I canât expose Zhou Shuâs identity or mine.
Lin Kelei pondered. At the same time, I canât let the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom easily occupy the ancestral land.
This is a technical job, but itâs not impossible.
Lin Keleiâs eyes flickered. He looked across the passage at Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao, who were busy. If your backyard catches fire, I wonder if you still have the mood to continue attacking the ancestral land.
A moment later, Lin Kelei disappeared into the army of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
The disappearance of an ordinary soldier didnât attract anyoneâs attention.
In front of the light screen of the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, Wu Suchen was busy.
Zhou Shu, Shi Songtao, and the others also saw the busy Wu Suchen.
âYour Highness, is this person the number one refiner of the Xuan Ming
Heavenly Kingdom?â Shi Songtao was a little nervous. âYour Highness, will he break through the Ten Imperial Cauldrons?â
âYouâve seen his refining insights. Donât you know his ability?â Zhou Shu said without turning his head. âDeputy Pavilion Master Shi, your current forging skills are not much different from Wu Suchenâs.. Do you think you can break through the Ten Imperial Cauldrons?â
