Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start Chapter 562 420: The Tower Supervisor and King Huai2

In all of Tiandu, if the Tower Supervisor did not wish to see soone, there truly was no one who could reach the Jing Tian Departnt.

After dismounting from the carriage, King Huai slowly advanced forward. Not far from him was a wall stretching across the path, leaving no road to traverse.

However, as King Huai approached, the wall unexpectedly began to seem illusory, and eventually turned into a wisp of light smoke that dissipated into the air.

Not only that, but once the wall disappeared, a vast expanse of mist lay behind it. In the blink of an eye, King Huai vanished, leaving Gongsun staring in astonishnt.

By now, didn't Gongsun realize that the lord he had followed for over a dozen years was not as the rumors in the martial world described, but rather an outstanding martial arts master at the pinnacle of prowess?

"His Highness has really hidden his depths well," Gongsun lanted with a shake of his head.

Elsewhere, having passed through the mist, King Huai had already arrived alone at the foot of Bagua Building.

At this mont, Da Xia's foremost royal prince, wearing a smile at the corner of his mouth, vanished from his spot once again.

By the ti King Huai re-erged, he had already reached the Star Gazing Platform atop the Bagua Building, and the Tower Supervisor with white hair and beard was seated not far away.

"Why was the Tower Supervisor reluctant to see ?" King Huai asked with a light laugh upon seeing him.

With his back to King Huai, the Tower Supervisor's old voice was flat, without a ripple, and he said, "If Your Highness has already made up your mind and drawn a conclusion, what significance does a eting between us have?"

King Huai responded with a faint smile, "Tower Supervisor, we've known each other for a long ti. Just speak plainly, you know I've never liked the way you speak."

"What does Your Highness seek from this old man?" At that mont, the Tower Supervisor turned around, his aged eyes fixed on King Huai, and there was a hint of wariness hidden at their depths.

King Huai was the only person in all of Tiandu whom the Tower Supervisor viewed with wariness. Like him, King Huai was also a supre martial arts expert at the Coagulation Field, possessing the true dragon's lifeline. For the Tower Supervisor to employ the Heavenly Staring Technique to foresee King Huai's future was not an easy task.

How could soone with the true dragon's lifeline possibly be weak and sickly? The forr Emperor of Da Xia and the current King Huai were born from the sa mother. It made no sense for the forr to possess exceptional talent if King Huai were to be deed simple.

The two were the main architects of Da Xia's resurgence, both blessed with the true dragon's lifeline, significantly bolstering the nation's luck and making them Da Xia's twin stars.

How King Huai was, the Tower Supervisor was clear as day. The old emperor had pondered long and hard over who would succeed him, not making his decision until just before his death.

"Over the years, it seems you still bear prejudices against , Tower Supervisor. Why bother? The reason I concealed my true strength and pretended to be an ordinary person was agreed upon long ago with my father, my imperial brother, and you all.

I just never expected that this concealnt would span so many years," King Huai said with a hint of emotion, his gaze distant as if reminiscing about the past.

King Huai had always kept his martial arts talent hidden as a precautionary asure, in case of an ergency.

Da Xia needed only one Emperor; having two such figures erge before their growth could attract those with malicious intent.

And once both had matured, the Emperor suppressed the world and dealt with the six holy lands, prompting King Huai to keep his true abilities unrevealed.

The six holy lands had dominated the world for tens of thousands of years and were unfathomable. Even the Emperor wasn't fully confident of his power, so King Huai remained Da Xia's final safeguard, ready to ascend the throne if anything befell the Emperor.

Fortunately, the Emperor returned successfully in the end. The very reason he dared to seclude himself for so many years was due to King Huai's presence.

"It's startling how many years have slipped by so quickly. Even a genius like my imperial brother could one day et his downfall," King Huai mused, looking towards the Tower Supervisor.

"What exactly are you trying to say, Your Highness?" the Tower Supervisor asked indifferently.

From beginning to end, the Tower Supervisor believed that King Huai was too inscrutable, unlike the Emperor, who was forthright and domineering. The two brothers' personalities were as different as night and day.

The fact that Da Xia could suppress the world and usher in a golden age was not only due to the Emperor and his people; King Huai played a significant role himself. His ability to patiently hide his martial prowess for so many years was a testant to his extraordinary nature.

Hearing the Tower Supervisor's words, King Huai smiled faintly and said, "Tell , where exactly are Wei Cang and Luo Xun?"

Wei Cang and Luo Xun, the nas of the Jing Tian Departnt's Grand Commander and the Mingjing Departnt's Tower Supervisor, could only be addressed so casually by King Huai.

"I don't believe they've co to harm. I know that they must be following so command from my imperial brother, or perhaps from you, and have gone elsewhere. Tell , Tower Supervisor, where are they now?" King Huai inquired.

No matter how King Huai pressed for answers, the Tower Supervisor remained silent, uttering not a word.

Seeing this, King Huai was sowhat disappointed and said, "It seems that you're still guarding against , Tower Supervisor. Why bother? If I had any designs, would I allow that unworthy nephew of mine to ascend the throne, vie for supremacy, and wield the divine artifacts of the world?"

The Tower Supervisor replied indifferently, "Aren't Da Xia's divine artifacts of the state always held in Your Highness's hands?"

With those words, the Tower Supervisor gave King Huai a penetrating look and said, "Moreover, it appears to that Your Highness now has regrets, don't you?"

At these words, King Huai couldn't help but laugh silently and said, "I ca to find you not to discuss these matters. Although you remain silent, I understand. It seems that Wei Cang and Luo Xun indeed have urgent affairs that prevent them from easily appearing in the Nine Provinces."

Imdiately after, King Huai raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmm, I guess they must be safeguarding that place. If it weren't for them, the demons and evil spirits of the Nine Provinces would have likely overrun the land by now, making it unlike the relative peace we have today. The world might have already beco a purgatory. Thus, for the past twenty or so years, they really have had a tough ti."

Even though the Tower Supervisor remained mute, not ntioning a word about the two, King Huai still guessed much.

Yet even so, the Tower Supervisor's face did not betray any emotion as he sat quietly, listening to King Huai speak his thoughts.

King Huai was not angered; after all, the Tower Supervisor had an extraordinary status, comparable to his own.

"After all this ti, this is the first we've spoken in many years, Tower Supervisor. I've co to ask if you would be willing to join forces with to contend against this chaotic world and keep Da Xia unscathed?" In that mont, King Huai's eyes blazed with determination as he locked gazes with the Tower Supervisor.

"Considering that Gu Chen follows your commands and continuously antagonizes , I have allowed him to grow and make a na for himself out of respect for you, Tower Supervisor. If you're willing to join forces with , and you instruct Gu Chen to comply, then I believe protecting Da Xia during this catastrophe would not be difficult."

Yes, the reason King Huai had co was to propose an alliance with the Tower Supervisor.

Should the Tower Supervisor join him, it wouldn't matter what position Gu Chen took; he would no longer be a threat to fear.

Without the Tower Supervisor's protection, King Huai believed that killing Gu Chen would be an effortless task.

What's more, if the Tower Supervisor agreed to ally with him, Gu Chen might even join his ranks and work for him.

As the Tower Supervisor remained silent, King Huai continued, "Tower Supervisor, I know you possess the Heavenly Staring Technique and can observe the major trends of the world. However, currently Da Xia's strength is inadequate, and there is much you wish to do that remains unattainable. We both serve Da Xia, so why persist in this standoffish manner?

It would be better if we joined forces to discuss great matters."

"Now, the six holy lands are constantly beckoning higher realm beings to descend into the Nine Provinces. You're well aware of their purpose. This is an opportunity belonging to the Nine Provinces, so why should we concede it to these outsiders? Why not join forces to seize this chance? Then, regardless of the ergence of demons and evil spirits, we could protect the Nine Provinces and Da Xia.

What do you think, Tower Supervisor?"
