Chapter 649 -621: What a Pity (Please Subscribe)

“What’s going on?”

Cui Peipei and Zong Xiushan almost simultaneously flashed in front of Lin Rui and Luo Wangshu, looking at the master-disciple pair, as well as the fragment of the Divine Tablet in Luo Wangshu’s hands.

They wanted to find the second fragment from Luo Wangshu, but unfortunately, they couldn’t find it.

Cui Peipei’s aura was cold and grim: “Luo Wangshu, why do you only have one fragment of the Divine Tablet? Where are the other two? Why did you have to retreat?”

Luo Wangshu glanced at her and said indifferently: “I am alone and weak, only able to seize this piece. What can I do about it? As for why I had to retreat, it is naturally because the enemy was too strong. Luo has limited strength and also sustained hidden injuries, so I had no choice but to retreat.”

As she spoke, she walked towards the carriage: “I now need to recuperate from my injuries and regather the ‘Heavenly Principle Divine Heart Sword’. My subordinates also need time to rest and regroup. But rest assured, once I have healed and my spirit, energy, and essence are complete again, I will re-enter and purge the enemies to do my utmost to help you recover the Divine Tablet fragments.”

Luo Wangshu did not lie; just now, in her confrontation with the Divine Sect’s King Ming, although she managed to repel him, her internal organs were also severely shaken by the rebound of King Ming’s power.

Her gaze became determined, thinking that decoding her own genes to create ‘gene-completion injections’ for herself is indeed imperative.

If it weren’t for Lin Hao deceiving the world and snatching those three Divine Tablet fragments, keeping them hidden for three months, even if she had used the ‘Heavenly Principle Divine Heart Sword’, she would not have been King Ming’s match.

King Ming’s bloodline and martial arts skills are not very high, only ranking at Super Emperor Rank of the Nine Realms. However, this man relies on the ‘Supreme Divine Artifact’ he possesses, allowing him to contend with Luo Wangshu even when severely injured.

Cui Peipei and Zong Xiushan looked at Luo Wangshu’s lazy and casual demeanor, their brows furrowed deeply.

“The two of you!” At that moment, Lin Rui explained the situation to them. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and spoke with a weakened expression: “We encountered attacks from Outer Heaven Demons, Purgatory Demons, and the Demon Sect’s King Ming simultaneously below. Although we managed to repel them with great effort, my teacher was lucky enough to snatch a fragment of the Divine Tablet from the Demon Sect’s King Ming’s hands. However, my teacher and I, along with this group of Imperial Guard Guest Elders, have all suffered considerable damage. Considering that the three factions may have already joined forces, my teacher also used up the ‘Heavenly Principle Divine Heart Sword’ and we had no choice but to temporarily withdraw.”

Upon saying this, Lin Rui couldn’t help but stomp his foot, uttering with frustrated tone: “What a pity, what a pity if the two of you could have accompanied us together, with the three Divine Envoys joining forces and working sincerely together, we could have definitely taken back all the Divine Tablet fragments from the Demon Sect’s King Ming. Such a missed opportunity, such a missed opportunity!”

Cui Peipei and Zong Xiushan, upon hearing Lin Rui repeat ‘what a pity’, ‘what a pity’, felt their hearts shiver, and their faces turned pale.

Their colleagues also turned ashen, and five of them were even shaking in their legs.

If their Divine above learned of this, they might be skinned alive!

Cui Peipei could even assert that possibly within just three hours, the Emperor of Great Wei and the First and Second Divine Envoys would know the full story of their experience, as well as Lin Hao’s words.

In no more than three hours plus a couple of breaths, the Divine Palace’s Great Celestial Master would be informed of everything.

What would their Divine think then?

They originally had the opportunity to retrieve the Divine Tablet fragments, but could it be that because of their self-sabotaging scheming, they have brought failure upon themselves at the brink of success?

This is truly a shitty situation!

“There are also the Emperor and the Second Divine Envoy of our Great Song!”

Lin Rui’s eyes were wide open, raging uncontrollably: “If they could have reinforced us in time, sent a few more experts, even just one Candidate Divine Envoy, we could have achieved complete success just now. But at the critical moment, almost all Candidate Divine Envoys were dispatched elsewhere and busy with important matters! This is no coincidence!”

Lin Rui not only scolded angrily but also summoned his two Seventh Realm Dragon Guards with an indignant expression, instructing them to prepare writing materials. In a very short time, he wrote a letter to Han Baxian, which he then sent with a Flying Book that could travel thirty thousand miles.

Zong Xiushan thought that there must be problems within the Great Song Dynasty. The twelve First-rank Candidate Divine Envoys and twenty-four Second Rank Vice Divine Envoys of the Great Song all possess the combat power of the Nine Realms Emperor, or are close to it.

In addition, many First and Second-rank ministers and military commanders of the court also have extremely powerful cultivation and bloodlines.

Even if the Great Song is currently short on hands for inspecting the supplies and war readiness, and all twenty-four Second Rank Vice Divine Envoys are garrisoning in different places to monitor the seventy-two Military Governor regions, the fact that this master-disciple pair couldn’t even mobilize a Candidate Divine Envoy level combatant during the battle is far too strange.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

It’s curious that Luo Wangshu’s faction is not weak, with several Candidate Divine Envoys and Vice Divine Envoys taking refuge under her. Furthermore, Luo Wangshu’s disciple brother is a Nine Realms Super Emperor Rank expert with impressive combat strength!

Yet, it seemed as though Luo Wangshu forgot them this time, not mobilizing these people for help.

But Zong Xiushan could not concern himself with these things any longer; he asked with a frown: “Marquis of the National Defense, what exactly is the situation inside the mines?”

“This~” Lin Rui responded with a hesitant expression: “I am also unable to judge the exact situation inside. Although those Purgatory Demons were severely injured by us, there are still dozens of Ninth Realm Demons on their side, including backbone experts like Qi Wuji who are completely unharmed. At that time, I even used ‘Spiritual Sky Dragon’ to sense that there were two almost Divine Envoy Level Ninth Realm experts lurking secretly.”

“The King Ming of the Demon Sect, although temporarily repelled by my teacher, my teacher also said that this was only a temporary avoidance of her ‘Heavenly Principle Divine Heart Sword’. This person has the tribulation thunder Holy Fire in hand, and his combat power cannot be underestimated. Moreover, I saw they clearly had the intention to lure us into a trap. There may be even more dangerous arrangements laid out in the depths of the mine, something we must be wary of.”

Upon hearing this, Zong Xiushan’s mood sank.

From Lin Hao’s words, it is clear that the demons below indeed possess extreme strength, and it is uncertain whether he and Cui Peipei will be able to handle them.

The bottom of the mine is even less worth considering, bound to be perilously dangerous, filled with murderous intent.

Beyond that, Zong Xiushan still had several unresolved doubts.

Wasn’t the fragment of the Divine Tablet from the East Continent in the hands of the Purgatory Demons? How could Lin Hao and his disciple have wrested it from the hands of King Ming?

Moreover, if this abandoned mine was a trap set by the Purgatory Demons for Lin Hao, and the Outer Heaven Demon, Purgatory Demons, and King Ming of the Demon Sect had joined forces, why would King Ming let Luo Wangshu seize the fragment of the Divine Tablet back from him? How could he be so foolish? Was he always carrying the three pieces of the Divine Tablet fragments with him?

Zong Xiushan found his thoughts muddled and confused, unable to make sense of it all. He could only suppress the doubts in his heart, bowing sincerely and saying, “National Guardian, I have sensed a leakage of Purgatory Light at the mouth of the cave, indicating they have already breached the Sky Pool Passage and could escape from the Sky Pond at any moment. Hence, I implore the National Guardian and Luo Divine Envoy to exert the last of your strength, leading your forces to assist me and Divine Envoy Cui in purging the demons within!”

He knew that Lin Hao and his disciple Luo Wangshu had already retrieved the fragment of the Divine Tablet from the East Continent and would now be content to sit back and watch, no longer risking their lives.

Thus, he consciously adjusted his position, only requesting these two to ‘assist’ them further into the mine.

Zong Xiushan did not expect these Great Song experts to fight to the death for them, only hoping Lin Hao and his subordinates could take some demons off their hands.

Lin Rui chuckled secretly in his heart. When he asked them to descend together earlier, Zong Xiushan did not have this attitude.

However, his face showed no sign of this, and he said with a regretful expression: “Divine Envoy Zong, it’s not that my master and I are unwilling to help, but as you have seen, my master’s condition is severe. As for me, I have just taken two blows from Qi Wuji, and now my injuries are serious, my lungs and internal organs shattered.

Moreover, those Purgatory Demons clearly targeted me, Lin Hao. Therefore, I ask for your understanding that, without full confidence, I dare not rashly enter.”

Zong Xiushan’s expression darkened, and he continued to bow and say, “If the National Guardian and Luo Divine Envoy cannot accompany us, then please lend me your subordinates; Divine Envoy Cui and I can assure you that we will be responsible for their safety.”

“This~” Lin Rui hesitated as he glanced over the many Ninth Realm and Eighth Realms beside him.

These high-level Great Song martial cultivators, all seasoned veterans, didn’t need to take cues from Lin Hao. One by one their faces paled, their breaths weak, with some even bleeding from ears and nose, sitting collapsed on the ground. They all appeared to have exhausted their Primordial Qi and True Yuan, with severe internal injuries.

A few of the more mischievous ones even began to lament with long sighs: “Ah, that strike from the Ninth Realm Demon was really powerful, full of lingering force.”

“That King Ming just now was truly formidable; the reputation of his tribulation thunder and Holy Fire is well deserved. I feel like it will take me eight to ten years to recover from this injury.”

“Isn’t that right? To resist that tribulation thunder and Holy Fire, I’ve expended so much Primordial Qi. I had plans to take a concubine this month, but now it seems impossible.”

Demon Destruction Bureau Commander Wang Chenghua also sneered secretly. They had previously been pressured into entering the mine by the Divine and the Divine Palace.

Now they were expected to risk dying inside the mine? For what reason?

As for that ‘taking responsibility for their safety,’ it was but a saying they could hear.

Once they re-entered, who knew how these two would direct them?

Furthermore, if they encountered that ‘King Ming’ again, could Zong Xiushan and Cui Peipei ensure their safety?

Zong Xiushan didn’t actually have any expectations for this group of Ninth Realm and Eighth Realm who had just come out of the mine.

In the meantime, Great Song had summoned more experts, all fresh forces, untested in battle.

But Lin Rui shook his head with a wry smile, “Divine Envoy Zong, this puts me in a difficult position; the military powers of my court aren’t something I can easily entrust to others. Besides, we can’t afford to lose this recovered fragment.

Divine Envoy Zong, this matter exceeds my responsibilities. So, let’s do this – wait a moment, I’ll send a message to the Emperor and the Divine Palace for their direction,” he finished, writing what appeared to be an official request for instructions.

Cui Peipei had been silent throughout. Hearing Lin Hao’s words, she felt as if there was a stifling pressure in her chest that she couldn’t relieve.

She turned to look at the abandoned mine next to her, then swept her robes aside decisively: “Enough! Zong Xiushan, they have made it clear they intend to sit on the fence and watch the fire from the shore; what do you gain from imploring them?”

Cui Peipei then took strides as long as a hundred yards, heading toward the entrance of the mine.

She feared that any further delay would mean the complete loss of the two Divine Tablet fragments.

And even if they couldn’t be reclaimed this time, she resolved to show she did everything possible.
