Thousandhonor Marquisâ eyes twitched, wishing he could choke Qi Zhen. Even if this was true, there was no need to really say it.
How come he didnât know he was such a straightforward person before? Or had he slept for too long this time, so his personality had become completely twisted?
Qin Yu bitterly smiledâ¦as he thought, it was like this. But it was still better than no chance of survival. Otherwise, no matter how confident Qi Zhen seemed, he really would hesitate.
âGreat! Then I agree to this matter. What should I do now?â
Qi Zhen clapped his hands and said, âI knew you had the courage. Then itâs settled!â He slapped Qin Yuâs shoulder and raised an eyebrow at Thousandhonor Marquis, âAnd you? This is a crucial moment so donât even think of backing out. You have a previous criminal record!â
Thousandhonor Marquisâ face darkened and he humphed. âThereâs no need for you to worry. Just figure out how you want to die!â
These words were rude, but Qi Zhen wasnât angered at all. Rather, he nodded his head in contemplation. âI have to think over it and make sure itâs flawless. Otherwise if too great of a commotion is stirred up, it will be easy to be discovered.â
He turned and looked at Qin Yu, rubbing his chin, âBoy, what suggestions do you have? A situation where I can be killed and it wonât be troublesome.â
This was the first time Qin Yu had been asked such a question. Although he had no idea what medicine these two old fellows were selling, he did have a plan.
Thinking of it, Qin Yu said, âFirst you kill Cloud Mistâ¦of course, I am only speaking of the kind where everyone believes that you killed her. And you need a good motive for that. Then, I will kill you out of revenge. Even if others learn of this, it would be the Ancient Kingâs Lineage who killed the successor of the Old Kingâs Lineage first. They wonât have anything they can say about it.â
âGreat idea!â Qi Zhen raised a thumb in praise. âYou are smart, but this plan isnât something that you could have come up with at a momentâs notice. It seems that the Old Kingâs Lineage already had a plan in store.â
Qin Yu forced a smile. When he and Cloud Boundless came up with this plan, he never thought things would turn out like this.
Thousandhonor Marquis slowly said, âThis is not difficult. It can be done with a little manipulation.â
The three carefully discussed a bit more. Then, Qi Zhen waved his hand. Qin Yu didnât feel anything, but he vanished from sight.
In the next moment, Qin Yu appeared in the camp of the Old Kingâs Lineage. He looked around and at the camp of Thousandhonor Marquis not too far away, and he sighed gently.
Before, it was one thing when Qi Zhen personally brought him back and forth. Now he only waved a hand to send him away and he had no idea what happened.
This was considered a âminorâ method? Then what terrifying minor methods did the Old Turtle at the Nightmare Ancestral Land have?
Before, he had only been thinking of entering the Nightmare Ancestral Landâ¦but now he realized that only after entering would the true horror begin!
But in any case, he had to surviveâ¦the bitterness and helplessness in Qin Yuâs eyes faded away until there was nothing left but resolve. He had rushed through numerous deadly situations in coming this far. He could make it out this time too.
If he really fell into desperate straits, at worst he couldâ¦put up a shield and fight back.
However, he had no idea if he could smoothly summon the Demon Dragon Elder within the Nightmare Ancestral Landâ¦and even if he successfully summoned him, what if that old dragon turned around and chewed his head offâ¦!
â¦
The clouds of war hovered over the Nightmare Clan and Nightmare Beast Territory. It grew increasingly dark and gloomy, and could erupt at any moment. But at this time, another major event occurred.
The successor to the Old Kingâs Lineage, Cloud Billow, had undergone another awakening of his bloodline after absorbing a nightmare beast crystal nucleus, transforming into the royal king bloodline.
News instantly spread out, shocking all Nightmare Clansmen in the Nightmare Beast Territory. For a time, the camp of the Old Kingâs Lineage was full of noise and bustle and numerous guests came to visit.
Although Cloud Boundless vigorously denied this matter and didnât acknowledge it at all, he couldnât prevent others from sensing it. After Cloud Billowâs bloodline breakthrough, he was unable to restrain his strength, causing his aura to leak out.
This matter was soon confirmedâ¦Cloud Billow had fully awakened the royal bloodline!
In the test of the struggle for the throne, Cloud Billow had awakened the royal bloodline. This was undoubtedly a great bomb for all parties involved.
This was especially true for the Ancient Kingâs Lineage who believed that the new Kingâs throne was already theirs. They found this even more difficult to accept.
In the camp of the Ancient Kingâs Lineage, Seven Wounds Clan Elder paced back and forth, his face dark and gloomy. A cold chill flashed in his eyes.
How hateful!
He had originally prepared plans to announce that Qi Zhen had fully awakened the royal bloodline. This would have guaranteed that the Ancient Kingâs Lineage would obtain even more benefits in the war against the Nightmare Beast Territory.
But who could have imagined that before he had a chance to do anything, Cloud Billow would also awaken the royal bloodline. The commotion was so great that it completely stole the limelight from the Ancient Kingâs Lineage.
Stealing the limelight wasnât much, but Cloud Billow had actually awakened the royal bloodline. He could not endure this.
The throne must belong to the Ancient Kingâs Lineageâ¦if they didnât, the series of consequences that would occur would completely destroy them.
He took a deep breath and said, âQi Zhen, you have already awakened the royal bloodline. Can you sense Cloud Billowâs aura?â
He wanted to confirm once more.
Qi Zhen nodded. He said, âYes, I can feel Cloud Billowâs aura. He has fully awakened the royal bloodline.â He swept his eyes around. Those here were absolute confidantes of the Ancient Kingâs Lineage. âCloud Billow will be my greatest threat in capturing the throneâ¦because in my senses, his bloodline gives me a suppressive feelingâ¦so I hope that you may all take action to kill him!â
The faces of everyone in the camp changed.
The successor of the Old Kingâs Lineage might have a precious status, but killing him was just killing him. In the end, he was merely a junior that hadnât yet grown up.
But now, Cloud Billow had awakened the royal bloodlineâ¦in other words, he had the qualifications to ascend the throne of the Nightmare King.
Killing such a Cloud Billow would produce a storm ten times, a hundred times greater. It would shake the very foundation of the Nightmare Clan.
This was not a minor matter!
Moreover, Cloud Boundless was here. He might have patiently endured it before, but if Cloud Billow was really killed off nowâ¦they feared that old thing would go crazy. Who knew how many people would die together with him?
Thatâs right, after killing Cloud Billow, Cloud Boundless also had to die. Only after eliminating him could they fully erase the threat of the Old Kingâs Lineage.
In the silence, Seven Wounds Clan Elder looked up. His sharp eyes landed on the silent Thousandhonor Marquis.
âThousandhonor Marquis, do you think we should do this?â
Thousandhonor Marquis looked back and then at Qi Zhen. He furrowed his eyebrows and let out a breath, âQi Zhen has already awakened the royal bloodline so there is no reason for us to back downâ¦once Cloud Billow dies, everything will be settled!â
After a pause he continued, âAs for Cloud Boundless, if I join together with Seven Wounds Clan Elder it will be enough to suppress him. And as for the turbulence that will followâ¦once Cloud Billow dies, we can announce that Qi Zhen has awakened the royal bloodline. This will resolve all issues.â
Seven Wounds Clan Elder shouted, âGood!â
He smiled in satisfaction. Thousandhonor Marquis might be independent and erratic, but his interests were closely tied with the Ancient Kingâs Lineage.
At important times, he still knew what decisions to make.
With the support of Thousandhonor Marquis, the Ancient Kingâs Lineage could move without scruples in the Nightmare Beast Territoryâ¦Cloud Boundless, your time of death is near!
â¦
The war against the Nightmare Beast Territory finally roared to life!
Raging flames of war blazed into existence, releasing their own violence and destruction.
Countless nightmare beasts howled in sorrow as they were struck down, turned into crystal nucleuses that were taken away by the Nightmare Clan as spoils of war.
The nightmare beast kings desperately resisted but they were still pressed into the ground and beaten.
From the start, the massive disparity in strength between both sides led to a doomed result.
Of course, when the Nightmare Beast Territory faced off against the invasion, they werenât lacking all power to resist. For example, the Giant Alligator King and Golden Eagle King were able to cause damage to the Nightmare Clan.
These two top class nightmare beast kings had come to some kind of unknown agreement. They laid down their battle to join forces against their common enemy.
Thousandhonor Marquis moved according to the circumstances. He enlisted powerhouses from all sides to encircle and kill the two top class beast kings. Cloud Boundless and Seven Wound Clan Elder, as well as countless powerhouses, were included in the name list.
During the siege against the two top level beast kings, the skirmishes occurring on other battlefields came to a temporary pause. The forces were recalled in order to avoid a frantic counterattack that would lead to more casualties.
The team of powerhouses that were to kill the Giant Alligator King and Golden Eagle King set off. If everything went as planned, the death of the two top class beast kings would lead to the end of this war.
But before then, there was a disturbance that was brewing. And it would eventually eruptâ¦because, someone had to die.
Although no one knew what the conflict was, it was produced because of the friction between the Ancient Kingâs Lineage and the Old Kingâs Lineage. Their long hatred exploded when they met, leading to a series of uncontrollable matters.
It just so happened that at this moment, there was a raid from nightmare beast kings on the camp. To ensure the safety of the camp, Thousandhonor Marquis led powerhouses to fight back.
Without sufficient suppressive pressure in the camp, the situation intensified. Cloud Billow was eventually killed, slayed in full view of the public by Qi Zhen.
Cloud Billow, who had awakened the royal bloodline and was considered by countless people to inevitably be the new Nightmare King, was killed off like that.
Everyone who saw this felt a chill shoot up their backs, making them feel as if they had fallen into an icy lake.
They could not figure out how things had come to this point. But even an idiot could tell that the Old Kingâs Lineage would never let go of Cloud Billowâs death. This would inevitably detonate into tumultuous chaos that would sweep over the entire Nightmare Clan.
But things didnât proceed as everyone thought. This was because Qi Zhen, who had just killed Cloud Billow, was immediately killed by someone else.
And the one who killed him was someone from the Old Kingâs Lineage, named Qin Yu.
This time it was the turn of the Ancient Kingâs Lineage to go insane. They had smoothly killed Cloud Billow, but now Qi Zhen had been slain too?
Was this a joke? If Qi Zhen died, would the rest of them have a good life?
If it werenât for Thousandhonor Marquis and the others repelling the attack of the nightmare beast kings and hurrying back to the camp in time, a war might have erupted between the Ancient Kingâs Lineage and the Old Kingâs Lineage.
Thousandhonor Marquis forcibly interfered, finally suppressing the matter. But everyone knew that things wouldnât end so easily now that Cloud Billow and Qi Zhen had both died.
Undercurrents shook the Nightmare Clan. This wasnât because of the inevitable collision that would occur between the Ancient Kingâs Lineage and Old Kingâs Lineage, but because with the deaths of Cloud Billow and Qi Zhen, the struggle for the new Kingâs throne had become chaotic once more.
Originally, no one had hopes. But nowâ¦there seemed to be a chanceâ¦in that case, should they try and struggle a bit?
As everyoneâs hearts were unstable, Qin Yu, surrounded by guards from the Old Kingâs Lineage, was the first to leave the Nightmare Beast Territory. This was to avoid any attacks from the Ancient Kingâs Lineage.
As the troop left, a strange female Demon Commander joined their ranks. Although she appeared abruptly, she didnât attract any attention at all. Along with Qin Yu, they both vanished into the transmission array.
