Zhu Hongyi left the Zhu Cultivation Town with his demon army, then all the towns cultivators gathered back together.
What happened just now? Did She Tianba die?
If hes dead, what about our money?
All of them were anxious. anwhile, Zhang Zhengdao landed near them.
The latter jumped toward a pile of brick remains under everyones eyes, but none realized what he was doing just yet. He searched through the debris for a while.
Isnt that the Golden Core Stage immortal? Why is he back? Soone recognized him.
The sharp-eyed Zhang Zhengdao was back because he had seen a storage bangle that had fallen out of Wang Kes pocket, right before the demons had left. The bangle had landed right in the place where he was searching.
Wang Ke, you iron rooster! I didnt expect you to drop money! Hahaha! Zhang Zhengdao quickly picked up the bangle and looked into it.
But his face froze after he searched through the bangle. There was nothing inside!
Why is it empty? Zhang Zhengdao could not believe it.
The Gongyi Teahouses shopkeeper walked up to Zhang Zhengdao right then. Immortal, my Clan Lord asked to relay a ssage to you! Also, please hold on to the bangle for now!
Hmmm? Zhang Zhengdao looked at the shopkeeper, visibly stunned.
He imdiately understood. He didn't drop any money! He did it intentionally, knowing that I was watching him! He knew that I would show up, so he asked the shopkeeper to help in dealing with the corpses so that the man could relay a ssage to .
Iron rooster! Zhang Zhengdao rolled his eyes in frustration.
Our Clan Lord asked you to head to the Golden Crow Sect imdiately. Ask Zhang Li'er to co to the Qing Capital for the rescue. You can tell her all the truth! that shopkeeper whispered to him before backing off.
Zhang Zhengdao was stunned. Ask for the Golden Crow Sects help?Weve already offended them the last ti. Can I still go there?
---------------
Next day morningZhu Hongyi took his army of demons back to the Qing Capital.
The dark, billowing cloud of countless bats struck fear in the commoners hearts.
Wang Ke continued constraining Princess Youyue, but he placed the Longing Orb bracelet back on her wrist the mont they entered the Qing Capital.
Wait for ! he whispered into the princess ear.
It was impossible to rescue her by forcing their way out at the mont; he had to think of another way. Although Princess Youyue didn't know Wang Kes plan, she still nodded.
Parlor Lord, I heard everyone say that the Nether Demon Assembly will be held in the royal palace tonight. Is that true? Wang Ke asked Zhu Hongyi.
Zhu Hongyi turned and looked at Wang Ke, a little puzzled about what the young lad was planning to do.
Since Princess Youyue is already in the Qing Capital, she no longer needs to be in my charge. Can I go and handle the matters regarding my big brothers corpses first, and pass down your orders regarding the consolation settlent for their families? I promise Ill be back by tonight! Wang Ke requested.
Parlor Lord, this brat is trying to escape! a demon warned; he was unwilling to let Wang Ke go.
After all, the young man was carrying a huge amount of wealth.
Escape for what? Hes only going to settle his brothers burials! What are you talking about? Zhu Hongyi stared back.
Yes, Parlor Lord! That demon lowered his head in frustration.
Hurry back! Zhu Hongyi said.
Yes, Parlor Lord, thank you! Wang Ke responded with courtesy.
After that, Wang Ke jumped down from the dark clouds and entered the streets of the Qing Capital, leaving Princess Youyue behind.
The still captive disciples of the Golden Crow Sect were in shock as they traveled on the dark clouds.
Senior apprentice-brother, what should we do? That brat ran off just like that! a Golden Crow Sect disciple said anxiously.
They were hoping for Wang Ke to save them, and they were holding onto the latters secret, so they hadnt been afraid of him playing tricks on them. But now that Wang Ke had run away, what was the use of keeping the secret?
Should we expose Wang Kes identity and die together?But, what if Wang Ke was really keeping his promise to get help from the Golden Crow Sect?Still, Im really unwilling to let Wang Ke leave just like that!
We ca here to get rid of Wang Ke. How did he run away with so much money while we fell into a trap?Why!
We can only trust his character now! Zhang Shenxu said with gritted teeth.
Does he have a trustworthy character? All the Golden Crow Sect disciples were at a loss.
Zhang Shenxu: .........................!
------
Did Wang Ke really run away that easily?
A dozen demons secretly followed him right after he jumped down and landed on the Qing Capitals streets.
They would have pounced and captured him if they werent wary of Zhu Hongyi. They could only trail behind him quietly.
And soon, they reached a dead end.
Where is he? a demon asked with staring eyes.
I dont know! I saw him enter this alley. How co he disappeared?
That bastard escaped with a lot of money! We must find him; that way we wont have to worry about cultivation resources anymore. Find him, quick!
Lets go!
And so, Wang Kes pursuers scurried around the Qing Capital to find him.
anwhile, Wang Ke had already reached the Great General's Residence through a secret tunnel.
Clan Lord, you ca back this quickly? His big cousin-brother, who was the Great General, ran to et him, clearly surprised.
Inform everyone. Have them gather for a clan eting in half a day! All clan mbers stationed in the Qing Capital must be present! At the sa ti, send pigeon posts to all places in the Great Qing Empire. Store up grain from the whole empire and enter into War-readiness Level One! Wang Ke instructed.
Yes, Clan Lord! his big cousin-brother replied with a solemn face.
War-readiness Level One?Its been a long ti since the Clan Lord activated it!Will there be a huge operation?Are we going to war?
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye! In a vast hall of the Great General's Residence
Close to twenty people sat at a long table. n and won were present, each dressed differently. All of them were looking respectfully at Wang Ke, who was sitting at the end of the long table.
Wang Ke was gazing at a huge map of the Great Qing Empire, his back to the group of people.
Everyone, I have been your clan lord for so many years. I had to take control by force in the early days, but after all these years, have I not treated you well? Wang Ke said to everyone, still showing his back to the group.
