Chapter 412: Enlisting Help
Currently, Zhou Pue silently floated mid-air assimilated into a cultivation state. His expression was serene as he blended himself into the surrounding environment.
A faint water glow that had a hint of a crystalline shine shrouded Zhou Pue’s body. Water Laws from both the environment and from his Inner World serenely revolved around him.
Reaching this step in the Divine Star realm isn’t easy at all. Zhou Pue had to dedicate long and hardworking years of calmly cultivating because of his unique Divine Will.
This peace didn’t last for long, however.
Not when space started to intensely distort a few meters in front of Zhou Pue.
A few seconds later, a large crack, big enough for a human, tore open the space.
Walking out of the torn Void Space was another handsome man. Compared to Zhou Pue, however, this man was completely superior in every possible way.
His presence mixed with the surrounding World Source Laws to a higher degree. It created an unfathomable aura that could greatly pressure weaker Divine Star warriors.
This man was only a breath away from reaching the Divine Ruler realm. While not a full Divine Ruler, this man already took a half-step into the upper echelons of God Galaxy’s society!
Even though this man showed up unannounced in Zhou Pue’s chambers, Zhou Pue didn’t become wary or tense. He slowly opened his eyes while dropping to the floor.
All of Zhou Pue’s following reactions were of genuine respect. Bowing his head without any resistance as he said, “Jiang Ling. It’s been some time, right? I would have preferred if we could meet up in more, lighter situations. But I suppose time never stops for all of you.”
Jiang Ling’s expression was slightly calm, though he let out a sigh upon further thought. “Indeed. Being under a Divine Decree Lord may seem luxurious, but it’s warped with work if you’re not prepared for it. Although, what I do seems small-time compared to Lord Wen Dao.”
Shaking his head, Jiang Ling continues to say, “But in any case, we are on short time here. I need to make this. About Lee and Xun, have you gathered enough information on them and made contact yet?”
Zhou Pue quickly shuffled out a few battle recording rings with a slightly apologetic face. “Unfortunately, any background is impossible. They seemingly came from thin air as far as I can tell. As for making contact…these two have very strong personalities, to say the least. They practically won’t bother with anyone unless they feel like it. I was similarly preoccupied with family matters and my faction’s members can’t seem to find any luck. The most we can get are these recording rings. Although most of their duels are over rather quickly. The only real thing you can obverse from them is Lei Bi’s duel.”
As Jian Ling caught the recording rings, his other hand cupped his chin in slight confusion. His brows furrowed together as he tossed a gaze back over to Zhou Pue. “I’m assuming that the World Spirit Masters already checked them out, huh? No masked aura or different kind of energy slumbering within them?”
“Nope. None at all.” Zhou Pue could shrug with a helpless expression.
“I see…” Jian Ling lightly sighed. “Well, I suppose it can’t be helped. In all honesty, I’d rather know just who will be with Lord Wen Dao in the future than simply have some mysterious origin. But our Heaven truly is far too vast. But in any case, Lord Wen Dao will be very please with this. He certainly won’t forget this kind of service, Zhou Pue.”
A slight look of satisfaction crossed Zhou Pue’s face. Although, a moment later, he felt a surge of curiosity, prompting him to ask, “Has Lord Wen Dao located any other talent worthy of his expectations? I’m vaguely aware of why he’s in such a considerable amount of need of allies now. But, isn’t his standards a little too strict?”
Calling it a little strict was putting it lightly. Even Jiang Ling, a loyal follower of Wen Dao, couldn’t deny this point.
Much less Emperor-level talents like Cain and Amber, it would be tremendous luck if one can find even an average King-level talent.
Jiang Ling understood it all, but he could only helplessly shrug. “Lord Wen Dao is a greatly ambitious person. Even if there’s an easier road out there, he can’t afford to take it. Not when his competition is so fierce.”
Zhou Pue furrowed his brows at this point. “About this. I am aware that Lord Wen Dao’s brother would also be keeping tabs on whatever Lord Wen Dao does. Could Lord Wen Shao already know about Lee and Xun’s existence?”
“Oh, he most definitely knows. However, Lord Wen Shao didn’t make any moves about it. And even if he did, I’m sure Lord Wen Dao will be quick to prevent any unfortunate accidents from befalling your family.”
Zhou Pue sighed in relief. “That’s assuring to hear. If there’s nothing else, I wish you good fortune on your task, Jiang Ling.”
Jiang Ling wordlessly nodded, turned back over, and whipped out a talisman that he promptly crushed. A surge of energy poured out of the crushed talisman and tore open the Void Space.
Before walking into the blackness of space, Jiang Ling said, “It won’t be long until this meeting happens. By then, things will get very interesting for this entire city.”
With his piece said, Jiang Ling stepped into the torn Void Space, the black portal instantly closing behind a moment after.
Left alone with his thoughts, Zhou Pue pondered his next moves. He would typically go back to cultivating under normal times.
But these recent situations caused his mind to vastly wander out.
He pulled out a specific contact ring, his eyes honestly glowing at his and his family’s future possibilities.
…
Inside another direct descendent chamber, Zhou Ling and Zhou Pei had met up once again. Both of their faces were blacker than a dark cave. Their natural auras chaotically swayed out of them as if they were projecting their problems into the very environment.
Zhou Pei didn’t mince any words as he spoke first. “At this point, simply waiting and riding things out for an opportunity is no longer an option. Those two growth rates are disgusting. We ait a little more and they will be at the Divine Star realm before we can blink!”
Before continuing on, he sighed with emotions. “Perhaps I would have suggested working with them for a little bit to find an opportunity, but…after that last duel, all chances of recollection are thrown out the window, right?”
Zhou Ling coldly snorted. “Tch. Does that really need to be said? Next thing you know, they’ll kill off your little lover just to make an example of the greater good of our family.”
No matter how fortified a Divine cultivator’s mental state becomes or how much their intelligence increases, it was impossible for anyone to ignore their emotions and feelings.
Swirling in Zhou Pei’s heart was fear for the future. Whereas Zhou Ling held nothing but bitter resentment and hatred.
Even if the opportunity could potentially turn out good. Neither of their Martial Hearts would ever be satisfied. This could affect their future cultivation greatly since a clear and determined mind is needed for the arduous future realms.
To them, this Lee and Xun are threats that must be eliminated!
Before continuing on, Zhou Ling let out a small sigh. His face cleared as he then calmly said, “But enough about emotions. Let’s finally discuss how to wipe them out. Has the plan you’ve been brewing close to fruition?”
“I would like to think so. My scouts already 100% confirmed the existence of an incredible Dao Cores cave and that a strong Tian Heavenly Squad will come to loot it. But, we would be a fool to think that a simple Tian Heavenly Squad can actually wipe them out.”
As Zhou Pei spoke, he took out a seemingly, ordinary spatial ring.
Confusion plastered Zhou Ling’s face for a moment. Afterward, his face brightens in great shock. “You! No way any ordinary help or even genius help would resolve this issue. Did you really get them to come over?”
“Well, just see for yourself.” Zhou Pei confidently stated.
A purple flash glowed in his palm and out came a small, grey-colored disk.
Nothing seemed remarkable about its appearance.
But Zhou Ling was able to detect a very faint sensation of Space Laws.
Zhou Pei poured a small amount of energy into it before tossing the grey disk a few meters in front of him. He and Zhou Ling then patiently waited.
The disk stayed completely stilled for only several seconds at best. When enough time had passed, the grey disk pulsated.
Grey energy surged into the air and effortlessly tore apart the space.
No immense waves of power poured from the grey energy. And yet, both of the Zhou siblings felt their heartbeat hasten under a faint, invisible pressure.
Thankfully, the grey energy instantly dispersed once the Void Space was torn open.
The black Void Space was revealed before the boys’ eyes.
In that moment, two unfathomable auras pulsated throughout the room.
Before whoever arrived, their natural auras were enough to engulf the atmosphere. Both Zhou Pei and Ling even had to summon some Inner World energies just to stay properly calm.
A moment later, two figures suddenly walked out of the Void space.
One was a beautiful young girl with an intent gaze that could pierce through your soul. While the other was a handsome man that had a face that could melt even the coldest of hearts.
Together, side by side, this pair looked like the perfect couple.
