Chapter 1117 - Nonsense
Chapter 1117 - Nonsense
Outside the nameless temple, Cloud Mist sat down cross-legged. Her complexion was slightly pale and an aura that had yet to dissipate surged around her body.
Following behind Cloud Boundless, the first one to arrive after him was Seven Wounds Clan Elder. When he saw her, his complexion changed.
This aura…
In terms of cultivation, Cloud Mist might have stepped into the same Demon Commander realm as him, but there was an astonishing difference in strength.
Yet now, he could feel an oppression from her body…this was a suppression that came from the bloodline level.
In other words, the bloodline flowing in Cloud Mist’s body was even more powerful than his own…no, to be exact, it was of a higher rank.
The abyssal demon race used their bloodline as the basis of their strength. To them, the stronger one’s bloodline, the more potential they possessed.
Seven Wounds Clan Elder stood at the peak of the Demon Commander realm. Although he couldn’t compare to Cloud Boundless, the difference wasn’t that great.
Cloud Mist’s bloodline was stronger than his…in other words, she had the qualifications to attack the Demon King realm…as this thought appeared, Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s expression turned ugly. When he looked at Cloud Mist, the killing intent in his eyes almost condensed into essence.
Shua –
Thousandhonor Marquis stepped forward and looked at Cloud Mist. After a brief silence, he revealed a look of acclaim. He cupped his hands together and said, “Clan Elder Cloud Boundless, congratulations.”
The ancient King’s lineage had tried three times but failed to capture Cloud Mist. Now, she had even completed her bloodline transformation…although in the end this was because Cloud Mist’s bloodline had a good foundation, who could be sure that the ancient King’s lineage wasn’t partly responsible?
After all, pressure was motivation. After being saved from the jaws of death three times, it wasn’t impossible for her to have accumulated enough strength to take that crucial step forward.
Looking at the gloomy face of Seven Wounds Clan Elder, Thousandhonor Marquis sneered inwardly. Cloud Mist had completed her bloodline transformation. This alone was enough to smash all of the other party’s judgments.
Woman…? Hoho, he believed this a little before, but now he found it simply absurd to the extreme! It was impossible for a mere woman to quicken the strength of the ancestral land and cause a projection to appear.
How could something as important as this be mistaken? And because of this wrong information, they had wasted numerous years of preparations.
It was just laughable!
Shua –
Shua –
More and more demons appeared outside the temple. When they looked at Cloud Mist, their eyes shook with uncertainty.
Before the struggle for the throne, Cloud Billow’s bloodline had taken another step forward…without a doubt, this highly increased his chances of seizing the throne.
If he truly succeeded, the magnificent and glorious ancient King’s lineage, that acted with arrogance and impunity, would run out of luck. Although the ancient King’s lineage had a deep foundation and it was almost impossible for them to be wiped out…that only applied to the direct line of the ancient King’s lineage.
It wasn’t difficult for some troublesome side branches to be destroyed…at this time, some demons in the crowd paled. They couldn’t help but reflect on whether they had walked too close to the ancient King’s lineage these past days.
It was clear that people like them could be classified as side branches.
Cloud Boundless saw everything occurring in his eyes. As he felt refreshed, he coldly sneered and said, “You all came and saw what you wanted to see. Do you have any other requests? Or, should I order the servants to prepare food and wine? If so, no one can leave today. You should all stay to eat and drink.”
“Cough cough! Clan Elder must be joking. Our previous attitude was a bit offensive, so how could we stay here any longer and disturb you?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Sir Cloud Billow just made his breakthrough today so he must be feeling exhausted. This is a good time for him to rest. We shall be bidding our goodbyes here.”
“Please ask Sir Cloud Billow to rest well. A few days from now, I will prepare a gift and personally come to congratulate him and also apologize for what happened today.”
“Farewell, farewell!”
With their thoughts racing, they didn’t say much. They quickly expressed their apologies and attitudes before turning and leaving with their tails between their legs.
Cloud Billow’s bloodline had made a breakthrough and the perpetually weak old King’s lineage might have a chance of making a comeback. Of course their attitudes had to change.
Otherwise, if there came a day when debts were to be settled, all of them here today would be included. Everyone would be in for a round of bad luck.
They weren’t the ancient King’s lineage nor were they Thousandhonor Marquis who had a title that had been approved by the abyss’ will. They didn’t dare to act presumptuously.
Even several powerhouses that were normally intimate with the ancient King’s lineage quickly lowered their heads and departed.
Although they didn’t say anything, looking at their cloudy expressions, they had to be cursing loudly in their hearts!
Everyone stood on the same team and everything was going well for them. So how had it all changed in the blink of an eye?
Thousandhonor Marquis’ eyes were deep and profound. He looked at Cloud Mist and smiled before cupping his hands together. “Clan Elder Cloud Boundless, please excuse me if I offended you in any way today. Then, I shall bid my goodbyes.”
He glanced at Seven Wounds Clan Elder. Without saying anything to him, he turned and left.
This performance caused Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s originally gloomy complexion to become even uglier.
Bastard!
Before, while Thousandhonor Marquis drifted on the outside and hadn’t truly embraced the ancient King’s lineage, he was more or less guaranteed to share the same opinion as them.
But today, he left without even saying a single word…this might not seem out of the ordinary, but the message conveyed by this incident was incredibly bad.
Seven Wounds Clan Elder turned and left, snorting coldly. With a flicker, he caught up to the departing Thousandhonor Marquis.
“Thousandhonor Marquis, do you think that just because a junior appeared within the old King’s lineage who is able to transform his bloodline, they are now able to change their fate?”
Thousandhonor Marquis had a calm expression. “I never thought that.” He looked at Seven Wounds Clan Elder and could feel the anger surging in his heart. “But, there is a message I hope that Seven Wounds Clan Elder can report back to the Patriarch…there are some things that need to be investigated clearly first, otherwise repeated failures will make you fall into a passive state. I have said all I need to say, so I will bid my farewell to you.”
After he finished speaking, no matter how Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s face paled, Thousandhonor Marquis flickered and vanished.
He left with one attitude before, and he left with another attitude now.
He had said what he needed to say and clearly expressed his stance. There was no reason for him to remain any longer.
“How hateful!” Seven Wounds Clan Elder roared out loud. He certainly knew what Thousandhonor Marquis was speaking about.
Cloud Billow was a woman? That was simply nonsensical trash!
As he recalled the wild joy and surprise he felt after spending so much painstaking effort to uncover this secret, Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s face burned with anger and shame, as if someone had ruthlessly slapped him several times.
Damn it all!
It must have been a trap from that old scheming Cloud Boundless!
He thought back to the three consecutive traps the ancient King’s lineage had tried to use after coming to Adversity Peak City. In the end, all three attempts failed…
Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s eyes surged with an ominous light as he felt increasingly sure of this.
If Cloud Boundless hadn’t made preparations beforehand, how could Cloud Billow withdraw safely again and again? Even intentionally baiting them into acting!
For these attempts, the arrangements that the ancient King’s lineage had prepared throughout the years had all vanished into thin air.
In particular, after Cloud Boundless went crazy at the Clan Elder Assembly, the ancient King’s lineage had been forced into a passive situation. The old King’s lineage had reaped a great deal of benefits and sympathy.
The more he thought about it the more aggrieved he felt. Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s face flushed red and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
This bastard Cloud Boundless, he truly was an old schemer. He was treacherous and cunning to the point where everything had seemed natural.
Otherwise, how could the ancient King’s lineage have fallen for this trap…he turned and glared at Bluetile Courtyard before flying away.
…
Outside the nameless temple, the pale-faced Cloud Mist spat out a mouthful of blood. Welcoming Cloud Boundless’ concerned gaze, she shook her head and said, “Clan Elder, don’t worry. I only held a portion of Qin Yu’s aura and suffered some shock from it. There’s no problem with me.”
Cloud Boundless nodded. He looked around, “Where is Qin Yu?”
In his mind, this kid was gold and glittering with the words ‘hidden trump card’ shining above his head.
Moreover, there was a high chance he was the reincarnation of the ancestor of the old King’s lineage. There was no way he couldn’t be nervous.
Cloud Mist stood up. After vomiting out some blood, she looked much better. “I went through a secret tunnel to have him sent to my dwelling…”
She began to speak but hesitated a little. She looked at Cloud Boundless.
Cloud Boundless waved his hand. “I know what you want to ask me, but I haven’t verified it yet…mm, how was Qin Yu’s behavior?”
Cloud Mist was stunned for a moment before she responded. She shook her head, “When he came out, he seemed to be a little disappointed. I didn’t sense anything because of the time constraint. But, I believe Qin Yu doesn’t know this possibility, otherwise he wouldn’t have needed to go through so much trouble to obtain my consent and carry out today’s test.”
“Mm, that makes sense…you said that Qin Yu looked disappointed when he came out…” Cloud Boundless’ eyes brightened as he thought of something. He said, “Cloud Mist, don’t say anything. Leave everything to me.
“Come, we’re going to see that boy now!”
Cloud Boundless flicked his sleeves and brought Cloud Mist away with him.
