Chapter 5363 Assistant
David’s gaze pierced Wu Hao, and he said in a deep voice, “Sir, I have something to ask. I heard that the Leiyin Bell from Leiyin Temple was stolen. I wonder if this has anything to do with the Divine Kingdom?” Wu Hao’s previously calm expression suddenly turned serious. He stared intently at David, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
Then he asked, “How could you, a mere first-level cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm, know about the theft of the Leiyin Bell? This is a secret of Leiyin Temple. If it weren’t for the higher-ups of Leiyin Temple, it would be impossible to know about it!”
David looked at Wu Hao and said frankly, “To tell you the truth, I’m friends with Daoist Wuji from Leiyin Temple. We’re good friends.”
Wu Hao frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said, “Then, this isn’t the right place to talk. Follow me to the Imperial Palace to discuss this further.”
With a wave of his long sleeve, he carried David and flew towards the Imperial Palace.
Arriving at the inner hall of the palace, Wu Hao dismissed his servants and said to David in a serious tone, “Do you know that this Leiyin Bell is extremely important to the Leiyin Temple?”
“In fact, the Divine Kingdom is the same as the Leiyin Temple. Countless demonic souls are suppressed underground. And this sacrificial ceremony is intended to strengthen the divine patterns that suppress the demonic souls.”
“Now that the Leiyin Temple’s Leiyin Bell has been stolen, my Divine Kingdom is also in danger. I have strengthened the guards of the Divine Capital in the past few days.”
David’s heart trembled and he asked, “Master, in your opinion, who is involved in the theft of the Leiyin Bell?”
A cold light flashed in Wu Hao’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, “I suspect this matter is inseparable from the Evil Path Hall. The Evil Path Hall operates in secret and specializes in shameful activities. Moreover, according to my secret investigation, the Sixth Palace Master of the Temple seems to have some connection with the Evil Path Hall.” “
A respected cultivator of the Divine Clan actually followed those evil demons together. What a shameless person. The current temple is no longer what it used to be.”
It was clear that Wu Hao was extremely dissatisfied with the current Temple.
Hearing this, David couldn’t help but ask, “Then why did the king marry the princess to the son of the temple’s third hall master? Isn’t this a disaster?”
Wu Hao sighed and explained, “I had no choice but to do this. I suspect that the Third Hall Master is colluding with the Evil Path Hall. I married my daughter to him so that he could take the opportunity to approach the Third Hall Master and investigate this matter. If this is true, the Divine Kingdom can take precautions early on to avoid disaster.”
David thought to himself that what Wu Hao said was indeed true. It seemed that the Divine Kingdom’s king was not in cahoots with the people who stole the Leiyin Bell.
He had made up his mind and stood up, saying, “Master, in that case, I won’t bother
you any longer. I intend to leave the Divine Kingdom and search for the Evil Path Temple to see if I can find the whereabouts of the Thunder Sound Bell.” Wu Hao immediately reached out to stop him, saying sincerely, “Fellow Daoist Chen, please stay! Since you have such determination and strength, why not stay and cooperate with our Divine Kingdom?
The devil souls are about to break free from their seals. If they are allowed to see the light of day, the entire Sixth Heaven will be destroyed.
The Divine Kingdom is willing to devote all its resources to investigating the Thunder Sound Bell issue with you. We must not let those devil souls be released.”
David’s heart was moved by Wu Hao’s earnest gaze.
He knew how serious this matter was, and it would be difficult to resolve it alone.
With the Divine Kingdom’s help, their chances of finding the Thunder Sound Bell would greatly increase.
After pondering for a moment, he bowed and said, “Since Lord is so sincere, I agree to stay and fight alongside the Divine Kingdom against this impending crisis!”
A satisfied smile spread across Wu Hao’s face. He patted David’s shoulder and said, “Very good! The Divine Kingdom and the Heavenly Realm are fortunate to have Fellow Daoist Chen to help us!”
Seeing David agree to cooperate, Wu Hao’s eyes lit up with a sincere smile. He knew that while the Divine Kingdom appeared powerful, it was actually plagued by internal and external troubles.
The shadow of the Thunder Sound Bell’s theft still loomed, and a conspiracy between the Divine Temple and the Evil Dao Temple loomed. They desperately needed an unexpected helper like David.
