Indestructible God King - Chapter 184.1 How about a Job Hop? (1/2)
A fleet of ships stopped amidst the Miasmic Sea’s dense fog, with demonic cultivators who were returning from Divine Dragon Island, all of them led by She Qingqing. She was interrogating Tong An’an and his accomplices at the moment.
Meanwhile, Wang Ke took Long Yu to the back of the ship.
Wang Ke looked at Long Yu and whispered, “Long Yu, are you sure you know a secret door to the Crystal Palace? And only you know about it?”
“That’s right! That’s the way I used to come out!” Long Yu nodded after a brief moment of silence.
“Okay, good, good. You mentioned that there’s an antidote able to cure you. If that’s the case, we will go to Demonic Dragon Island with She Qingqing and her men. Then, we’ll go and find the antidote!” Wang Ke said in excitement.
Rich! I’m going to strike it rich! No one can enter the Crystal Palace. The four Parlor Lords can only open the gate when they use their tokens together. Isn’t that a sign of great wealth?
Even the four Parlor Lords crave the treasures inside ; how much would those be worth?!
They can’t go in, but Long Yu and I will enter through a secret path! This is even more thrilling than tomb raiding! How many treasures would a Sect Lord have!?
I’m going to be rich! This is it!
Long Yu looked at Wang Ke, who was at the moment wiping saliva off his mouth because of his excitement, and asked, “Didn’t you say you weren’t willing to enter the Crystal Palace?”
“The Demon Sovereign was still alive when I said that; of course, I would never have dared to go! But now, our great leader is gone; that is why I think I should take the risk of accompanying you!” Wang Ke said with a serious look.
“Is that so?” Long Yu asked Wang Ke with a frown.
“What’s wrong with you? You were poisoned with Immortal Ice! I’m caring for you! It’s settled, then! We will enter by sneaking our way in, together!” Wang Ke said right after.
Long Yu: “…………!”
Wang Ke dragged Long Yu to the ship’s bow.
“Chapter Lord She, how are things on your side?” Wang Ke asked She Qingqing.
“I interrogated Tong An’an a little more. Fortunately, Se Yutian and Zi Bufan worked together to subdue Zhu Hongyi instead of killing him. So, he should still be alive!” She Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief.
“Chapter Lord She, what are we waiting for, then? We should charge forward and kill them all, and then rescue Parlor Lord Zhu!” said one of Zhu Hongyi’s subordinates.
Charge?
Wang Ke was okay with that plan. The more chaos you guys create, the easier for Long Yu and I to sneak into the Crystal Palace.
“Sounds good!” Wang Ke nodded.
“Sounds good? That’s pure recklessness! Charge our way in and create a scene? How should we do that? Can we?” She Qingqing asked calmly.
All the demonic disciples quieted down.
“Demonic Dragon Island must be full of Se Yutian’s men. We are few in comparison; what can we do? We might not be able to rescue Zhu Hongyi, but instead trigger them into killing him!” She Qingqing warned sternly.
“Then… what should we do?” the demons asked anxiously.
“We cannot act rashly. Send some men to check on Zhu Hongyi’s whereabouts. Once they find him, they will send a signal to us, then we will focus our power to rescue him once and for all. We need to be fast, decisive, and accurate!” She Qingqing said.
She used to be the East Wolf Hall Lord, after all; her many years of experience battling demons helped her craft a battle plan effectively.
“Chapter Lord She, we will listen to your command. You say ‘jump,’ and we’ll jump as high as you wish!'” said the demons.
Then, She Qingqing looked toward Tong An’an and his companions. “I deliberately left your face untouched when I was beating you up. But now, let me ask you again: are you willing to cooperate with me to find Zhu Hongyi?” she asked with a menacing look.
“We… We don’t know where Zhu Hongyi is!” Tong An’an answered while enduring the pain. Why do I get beaten up badly every time Wang Ke captures me? Now it was even worse!
She Qingqing drew her sword and slew one of them.
“Do you know now?” She Qingqing said. Tong An’an and the rest were horrified.
“We really don’t know! We only obeyed Parlor Lord Se Yutian’s orders to go after Zhu Yan. We really don’t know!”
“We weren’t the ones who lied to you just now. It was Tong An’an! Please vent your anger on him! Don’t kill us!” the rest of them said in great fear.
She Qingqing was very decisive when it came to killing one of the demons, and they were aghast. She looked sternly at the four as they begged for mercy. They looked like they really didn’t know where Zhu Hongyi was being kept prisoner.
“Fine. I trust you!” She Qingqing said.
“Thank you, Chapter Lord She! The four thanked her, trembling.
“Now, the four of you, lead the way and take us to the island! Keep us company to find Zhu Hongyi! Are you willing?” She Qingqing asked.
“Ah?” Tong An’an looked worried.
“We are willing! We are! You decide!” the other three agreed immediately, still fearful.
“Each of you will eat a Lightning Bead!” She Qingqing took out four beads and stuffed them into their mouths. Neither of the captives dared to reject, so they swallowed the beads.
“Hear me carefully. I have four tokens that control those beads. If you dare to play tricks on me, I just have to press the token, and the Lightning Bead will explode inside your stomachs! Do you understand?” She Qingqing said.
“What?” Tong An’an was horrified. My life or death depends on She Qingqing’s decision now?
She then addressed the whole group, “Good. We have the four of them to lead the way. Let’s split up into four teams to find Zhu Hongyi on the island! Who is willing to go?”
Go to Demonic Dragon Island to find where Zhu Hongyi is being detained? It means death if we’re found out! The demons hesitated for a moment.
“Me! Give me one of the tokens; I will join the search!” Wang Ke volunteered.
He didn’t expect that she would have such an enchanted artifact. He was prepared to sneak in with Long Yu despite the dangers they would have to brave and overcome step by step. But things will be much easier if I have a Lightning Bead Token. Awesome!
Besides, isn’t Wang Ke afraid of dying? Why would he go to such a risky place if getting himself killed is the most likely scenario?
“Chapter Lord She, you command our Divine Dragon Branch and your husband is in danger. How can I pretend that nothing happened? Count me in!” Wang Ke said seriously.
Although she had no idea what the latter’s plan was, she was moved by his initiative.
“Good, Wang Ke! I owe you one!” She Qingqing sighed. She then allowed Wang Ke to pick one of the four command tokens; the one he chose was Tong An’an’s.
