Necropolis Immortal-Chapter 1817: A Blow From A Supreme

Chapter 1819: Lu Yun's Scheme

The Cloud Atlas Supreme nearly spit fire from his eyes. He itched to slap Lu Yun to death on the spot!

But he could also sense a ponderous strength brewing from the Dragon Formula Academy. This projection of his will wouldn't hold out against it once it exploded. After all, the Thundercloud Supreme's projection had already been vaporized by an earlier blast.

"Good, good, very good!" Cloud Atlas suddenly broke out in laughter and took a deep look at the academy. He angrily turned on his heel and left.

The Golden Dragon King and others simply watched on the sidelines; they had no intention of getting involved. It was the Cloud Atlas Supreme's son who'd died, not any of their sons. They were thoroughly cowed by the blast from the immortal weapon of war.

"We didn't encounter this level of treasure last time we attacked the Star Formula Academy. That brat probably prepared it for us!" A vicious glint crossed the dragon king's eyes.

"Lu Yun!" Ao Quan suddenly called out. "You created that immortal weapon of war, didn't you?"

"It comes from the collection of life's intelligence," Lu Yun smiled. He neither admitted nor denied it. He knew what Ao Quan wanted to do.

"Jian Bu'er killed Yun Lang with one stroke. Is the way to bypass the Lifeline Talisman also the result of life's intelligence?" Ao Quan continued.

"No, I figured that one out myself. It doesn't have anything to do with anyone else," Lu Yun shook his head. "It's just a minor method, do you want to learn it? I'll teach it to you right now."

He sent a portion of thought into Ao Quan's mind. The dragon paused, dazed.

All of the supremes on the scene abruptly looked at him in a different light. It'd be one thing if anyone else obtained the method, but the crown prince of the golden dragons? There was nothing the golden dragons didn't do to take down the azure dragons. By now, they controlled countless other factions with their Dragon Dominance Ring.

"We go!" The Golden Dragon King brandished his sleeve and disappeared with his son.

Lu Yun wouldn't possibly pass on the method to Ao Quan, but he didn't need others to believe that he had. He just had to go through the motions.

When Chu Xingran built Nihl Homeland, his first batch of recruits were the outsiders that'd barged into the fourth realm. Then the golden dragons arrived and occupied the territory, throwing out everyone from the chief worlds. To those victims, they had yet to enact vengeance for that act.

The method to bypass Lifeline Talismans was the best excuse to and they would only aim their attacks at the golden dragons. After all, they were all supposedly on the same side.

……

"Royal father…" Ao Quan nearly burst into tears after they returned to Nihil Homeland.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this." The Golden Dragon King's face was so dark that it almost resembled night. Lu Yun was a crafty and treacherous individual. Not satisfied with forcing away Jiang Kui and his men, the young man had smoothly set the golden dragons up this time.

"No, I mean… Lu Yun really did teach me the method," Ao Quan said dumbly.

Pffft!

The dragon king spat out a mouthful of blood—not his projection, but his primary body among the dragons.

……

"Did you really teach it to him?" Jian Bu'er and the Demonic Vine looked incredulously at Lu Yun.

"I did. I, Lu Yun, am a man of my word," Lu Yun nodded.

The supremes yet to depart craned their necks forward, then hastily left after hearing the young man's confirmation. A method to circumvent the Lifeline Talismans? That was too horrifying to consider.

"How will there be a market for my Resurrection Talisman if the Lifeline Talisman isn't defunct?" Lu Yun smiled. Apart from the ones that Lu Feng had modified, Lifeline Talismans were single use per lifetime. Most people possessed the latter, and those greatly depressed the sales of Lu Feng's version. Thus, Lu Yun might as well destroy the Lifeline Talisman so he could sell his Resurrection Talisman.

When it came down to it, having an additional lifeline and being resurrected was the same thing.

"Shall we… publish the method in the spirit paper then?" the Demonic Vine cackled.

"Not yet, that can wait until New Nihil Homeland and Nihil Homeland start fighting each other. If my guess is right, the Golden Dragon King should be furiously trying to figure out how to get Ao Quan out of here," Lu Yun smirked. "If Ao Quan doesn't leave the Land of Reincarnation, that means I gave him a fake method. But if he does, that confirms he possesses a real method.

"But honestly, it doesn't matter whether he leaves or not. New Nihil Homeland has an excuse to attack Nihil Homeland now. That's all they wanted."

Perhaps the supremes just wanted to take revenge for what the golden dragons had done and teach them a lesson, but if the method was real, then their conflict would deepen with exponential severity.

"Strange, you're the one who created the method, but they're not looking to bash your head in. Instead, they're going for the golden dragons. That doesn't make sense…" The Demonic Vine rubbed her temples, not understanding why the situation had developed this way.

"Because we're the enemy and we're on a weaker footing. They're already on guard against us and we can't do any real damage to them, so we can't use that method to kill their people on a mass basis. Even if they want to cause trouble for us, the immortal weapon of war gave them something else to think about just now.

"The golden dragons have been using all sorts of underhanded and dirty tactics in their struggle for dominance with the azure dragons. Their reputation wasn't the best to begin with, then they kicked everyone out of Nihil Homeland when they arrived in the Land of Reincarnation. Thus, no one from the chief worlds trusts the golden dragons.

"If that faction possesses the way to bypass Lifeline Talismans, that means they'll hold many people's lives in the palm of their hand. It will be their trump card against the azure dragons, so they'll never give it up." Lu Yun sighed, "I don't know how much time this buys for us. I just hope that it screws up their plans for a bit.

"Are you confident in exceeding sequence?" He turned to the Demonic Vine.

"Yes!" she nodded. "I'm sure I can exceed sequence in the flawless world that you have and use the fragments of sequence to forge my dao palace. But I don't want to do so right now, I want to access a few more levels of sequence!"

She set her jaw with determination. "If I can collect a bit more power of darkness, I'll be able to set foot into the thirty-seventh level!"

"You, you guys, why are you guys discussing all of this right in front of me?!" rang a half-scream. Moran Xutong was still on the battlefield and had heard every word of their discussion.

The Morans hadn't sent a supreme to the Land of Reincarnation—only this young master and his followers were present. One blow from the weapon of war had rendered him all alone.

Hair rose on the back of his neck when he heard Lu Yun discuss his grand scheme. How would this native let him live after he'd heard their plotting?!

"You snuck here because of Moran Dongning, didn't you?" Lu Yun finally looked at him. "Come with me, she wants to see you."
