398: Chapter 190: I Have Arrived at the Battlefield!
Late at night, ten hours remained until the execution.
Beneath a deserted stone bridge in a remote corner of Silver Mountain City, a towering figure quietly appeared.
He removed the black beast skin he was wearing, which was emblazoned with nurous mysterious runes, revealing his true form.
It was Jin Shu, donned in golden heavy armor!
That black beast skin must be Spiritual Ability Equipnt or so kind of Taboo Item, allowing him, a Heavy Armor Knight, to move without any sound or trace, avoiding the surveillance of Angels and appearing here silently.
Jin Shu had followed the spiritual energy emitted by the token to this place, but saw no one.
Due to the nightti, everything was eerily quiet, with only the rustling sounds of the breeze stirring the grass and trees.
After hesitating for a mont, Jin Shu still spoke out, “Royal City Guard Knight, Jin Shu, requests to see your esteed self.”
Seconds later, a figure erged from the shadows beneath the stone bridge.
The man was dressed in a suit and donned a Copper Face.
Judging by his build, he seed to be human?
Or perhaps a Forbidden Zone Human?
The creatures from the Black Origin City’s Forbidden Zone were all massive in stature; at two ters fifty, Lord Gretwin was considered to be of above-average size there.
And yet, the man before him was just a bit over one ter eighty.
Moreover, he bore no Spiritual Barrier…
Had he disabled his Spiritual Barrier?
Or was he truly just an ordinary mortal?
But how would a re mortal co by a token from the Jade Blood Supre?
Was he truly a ssenger?
Distrust flickered through Jin Shu’s mind.
At that mont, the other party spoke indifferently with a voice that was hard to identify as male or female, “You’re holding your head too high.”
Confused, Jin Shu suddenly felt a sense of danger.
Alarm bells rang in his mind, a warning that soone was about to attack him!
Almost reflexively, Jin Shu imdiately knelt on one knee.
However, the gold horns on his helt, crisscrossed like branches, suddenly snapped off and crashed to the ground.
The crisp collision echoed in the surroundings, sending shockwaves through Jin Shu’s heart.
He hadn’t even detected how the other party had made a move!
If not for the other party’s prior warning and unhidden murderous intent, he might have already been bisected!
So strong!
Jin Shu was astonished; he was one of the Five Senses Strong People, and after cultivating them for many years, had taken many steps on the Soul Ladder.
He was the strongest among those assigned to this escort mission.
Yet, facing the other’s attack, he had not sensed any spiritual energy…
This ant the other’s strength was far beyond his own!
Was this the power of the Netherworld Path?
Was this the envoy of the Supre Lord?
To be so formidable!
Any nascent doubts he had just evaporated.
“Supre Lord…” Jin Shu’s thoughts were swirling, about to speak when the other coldly said, “Gretwin’s failure to co to et has deeply disappointed!
And you have failed the expectations of the Supre Lord!”
The one speaking was naturally Li Yelai, who had decided to engage Jin Shu and others as the Supre Envoy.
In order to ensure initiative, he had asked Little Mad King to cooperate, displaying trendous deterrence before Jin Shu and the others and indirectly dispelling Jin Shu’s suspicions.
But he was genuinely disappointed.
If it had been Master Gretwin who had co, Little Mad King would have cut him down just now.
He would then have blad it on the Angels, setting them against each other.
A noble of Black Origin City slain within a city filled with Angels.
Even with a good reason, the Heavenly Kingdom would be hard-pressed to explain it away.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shu was even more convinced that Li Yelai was the envoy of the Jade Blood Supre, and he responded with reverence, still kneeling on one knee, “Lord Gretwin is currently discussing alliance matters with the Angel i Wu from the Heavenly Kingdom…”
“Hmph, ‘rely discussing’?” Li Yelai snorted coldly, “You know very well, he has been thoroughly bewitched by i Wu.”
Jin Shu tacitly accepted this assertion.
After all, it was Gretwin who had pushed through the many objections and carried great pressure to forge an alliance with i Wu.
In the eyes of others, this definitely looked like bewitchnt.
i Wu…
like an Evil Concubine bringing disaster to the nation.
“Then, Supre Lord, have you co here…” Jin Shu hesitated to ask, “to stop the alliance?”
“An alliance?” Li Yelai’s voice was cold, “How foolish.
Do you really believe that all Angels wish to ally with us?”
Jin Shu felt a chill in his heart, “Supre Lord ans…”
He of course knew the two main forces behind the alliance were Gretwin and i Wu, each leveraging their influence within their respective Forbidden Zones to bring about this outco.
Gretwin was a Forbidden Zone Noble, and a craftsman of Spiritual Ability Equipnt with infinite potential, having several Overlord Level friends.
And i Wu…
her charm was irresistible, and in just a few years, she had garnered a sizable following of Angels.
The upper echelons of the Forbidden Zone overlooked this, or in other words, tacitly consented.
But within both camps, there remained a significant number of dissenters.
At this juncture, to overthrow this nearly completed alliance ant having to eliminate its advocates!
i Wu, of course, was untouchable; the dissenters had no ans to harm this beauty.
That left only one possibility…
“Just as you assu, there are Angels who wish Gretwin dead!” Li Yelai declared, “And as ti draws near, they will be ready to make their move.”
Jin Shu felt his hair stand on end.
If Gretwin were killed, not only would the alliance fall through, but none of his escorts would likely survive!
They would all be exiled to the Void Realm!
“How dare they?” Jin Shu asked urgently, “If sothing happens to Master Gretwin, they too will pay a terrible price!
Those Marquises, Dukes, they won’t sit idly by!”
It was indeed so.
Gretwin had used his exceptional forging skills to craft a significant network of relationships.
If anything went wrong with Gretwin, those powerful beings would surely strike against the Heavenly Kingdom!
