The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 182: A Guard’s Dilemma

The jade pendant was simple to use.

Luo Chuan infused his spiritual sense into it, immediately perceiving Ji Wuhui's message.

"Silver Moon Palace?"

At first, he was confused, but then he nodded slightly.

Right—he had destroyed a Soul Projection before.

If he recalled correctly, it had belonged to Chu Yangping, the Palace Lord of Silver Moon Palace.

"Ji Wuhui is asking if he should reveal Origin Mall's location to Chu Yangping?"

Luo Chuan stroked his chin, contemplating.

If it were anyone else facing Chu Yangping, Ji Wuhui would have probably made the decision on his own.

But this time, the person in question was Luo Chuan.

A man whose true cultivation level was a complete mystery.

"So he's just pushing the decision onto me?" Luo Chuan found it amusing.

After a brief moment of thought, he made up his mind.

Luo Chuan sent a short response through the jade pendant:

"It's up to you."

After all, within a ten-kilometer radius of Origin Mall, he was absolutely invincible.

Even if Silver Moon Palace brought an army of Pathseekers, they would just be delivering themselves on a silver platter.

Without a second thought, Luo Chuan tossed the jade pendant back into his system space.

"Your usefulness has ended."

—

In the Imperial Palace, Ji Wuhui had been waiting anxiously.

The jade pendant flashed.

He quickly checked the message.

A moment later, his expression froze.

"That's it?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Elder Bai asked curiously.

"See for yourself." Ji Wuhui handed him the jade pendant.

Elder Bai infused his spiritual sense into it.

A single short phrase emerged:

"It's up to you."

Elder Bai stared at it for a long moment, speechless.

Then he let out a chuckle, shaking his head.

"Classic. That's exactly the boss's style."

Ji Wuhui sighed.

The decision had ultimately landed back in his hands.

He glanced at the time and realized something.

"Judging by the timing... Chu Yangping and his group should be arriving right about now."

Elder Bai nodded. "Indeed. Have you decided what to do, Your Majesty?"

A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes.

"If you truly wish to fight, I can guarantee that not a single member of Silver Moon Palace will leave Nine Stars City alive."

As he spoke, a terrifying aura radiated from him—a presence akin to a war god.

With his strength at the ninth level of Pathseeker, and having restored his youthful physique, Elder Bai was itching for a real battle.

Ji Wuhui waved a hand dismissively.

"I'm well aware. A mere Silver Moon Palace is nothing to me. But if we fight... Nine Stars City will be destroyed."

He couldn't afford to pay such a heavy price.

"Then just tell them about Origin Mall." Elder Bai smirked.

His eyes gleamed with amusement.

"I'd love to see what happens when they meet the boss."

Ji Wuhui hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Fine. We'll do that. I just hope the boss doesn't mind..."

—

Imperial City Gates.

Chu Yangping and his four Pathseeker companions had arrived.

"Stop right there!"

The imperial guards instantly raised their weapons, blocking their path.

Chu Yangping barely spared them a glance.

"I am Chu Yangping, Palace Lord of Silver Moon Palace. I request an audience with His Majesty, the Heavenly Star Emperor."

His voice was cold, and at the same time—

A suffocating aura erupted from the five of them.

Xia Yu, one of the guards, felt his heart tighten.

"How long has it been since the last time a Pathseeker came knocking on the Imperial Palace's gates?"

At this rate, even being an imperial guard wasn't safe anymore!

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Xia Yu forced a polite smile.

"Please wait a moment. I'll report your arrival!"
