Chapter 5377 of Order of the Dragon King: Sacrifice Manual
“Summon him in.”
Liu Kun stepped into the inner hall and bowed, his face showing a look of concern for the country and its people: “Your Majesty, I heard that there has been no progress in the theft of the Thunder Sound Bell, and the people of the Divine Capital have been panicking recently. I am anxious, so I have come to speak with Your Majesty.”
Wu Hao gestured for him to stand and said in a deep voice: “Just say whatever you have to say.”
“Your Majesty, the Demon Soul is ready to make a move, the Evil Path Palace is eyeing it lustfully, and the Divine Temple is uncertain of its stance. Our Divine Kingdom is in a difficult situation.”
Liu Kun sighed and said slowly, “I believe that the most urgent task is to strengthen our relationship with the Divine Temple. As long as we can establish a relationship with the Divine Temple and gain its support, the Evil Path Palace will not dare to act rashly, and the Demon Soul matter will be more secure.”
Wu Hao frowned slightly: “I have already planned the wedding, but Fellow Daoist David is investigating the Thunder Sound Bell, so this matter needs further consideration.”
“Master, there is no time to waste!”
Liu Kun said quickly, “The Leiyin Bell has been stolen for so many days, and there are no clues. If we delay the wedding, the Temple might think that our Divine Kingdom is insincere.
The Third Palace Master has a high status in the Divine Palace. If we can marry her, we can not only use her power to investigate the Evil Path Palace, but also elevate our Divine Kingdom’s status among the gods. Killing two birds with one stone!”
He paused for a moment, and then added fuel to the fire, “I heard that the people from the Evil Path Palace have been frequently active near the Divine Capital recently, and they seem to be spying on the Demon Soul Seal beneath our Divine Kingdom.
If there is no support from the Divine Palace, once the Evil Path Palace joins forces with other forces to attack, my Divine Kingdom will probably have a hard time defending.”
Wu Hao fell silent. Although Liu Kun’s words were a bit exaggerated, they were not without reason
. The Divine Kingdom was currently facing internal and external troubles, and indeed needed the support of external forces.
Moreover, he had originally planned to marry the princess to the son of the Third Palace Master, using this opportunity to investigate his collusion with the Evil Dao Palace. Liu Kun’s proposal seemed to align perfectly with his plans.
“You’re right
,” Wu Hao nodded slowly. “Then, the marriage matters will be entirely yours to handle. Three days later, you will personally escort the princess to the Third Palace for the wedding.”
Liu Kun was elated, but his expression remained respectful. “I obey your orders! I will not disappoint you, Master!”
After leaving the palace, Liu Kun immediately returned to the Prime Minister’s Residence and summoned his trusted subordinates.
“Master, have you agreed to this marriage?” the counselor asked.
“Hmph, Wu Hao has been provoked.”
Liu Kun sneered. “This marriage? It’s just a delaying tactic. In three days, I will not only kidnap the princess, but also use this opportunity to force Wu Hao to hand over the Sacrificial Manual!”
Everyone was shocked. “My Lord, you want the Sacrificial Manual? Are you really going to…”
“Indeed!”
A flash of madness flashed across Liu Kun’s eyes. “The Book of Sacrificial Sacrifices contains the method to strengthen and break the Demon Soul seal. If we obtain it and ally with the Evil Dao Hall, we can break the seal and release the Demon Soul. Then the entire Sixth Heaven will be in chaos.
I will use the power of the Demon Soul to eliminate Wu Hao and the elders of Leiyin Temple, and the entire Sixth Heaven will be mine!”
Everyone’s faces were filled with shock, but greed was even more palpable in their hearts. If Liu Kun could truly control the Sixth Heaven, they, as his confidants, would surely reach the pinnacle of glory.
“My Lord, you are wise!” everyone exclaimed in unison.
“Alright, everyone, go down and get ready.”
Liu Kun waved his hand and said, “In three days, I will lead a team of guards for the princess. You will secretly arrange for your men to kidnap the princess as soon as she leaves the Divine Capital.
Remember, this must be done in secret, and no one can find out.”
“Yes!” everyone replied!
On the other hand, David condensed a gentle spiritual power at his fingertips and gently tapped Zi Yuan’s brow: “Wait, I’ll take you to a safe place.”
Before she could finish speaking, David waved his hand and the Demon Suppressing Tower appeared.
David didn’t hesitate any longer and helped Zi Yuan step into the tower’s gate. In the next instant, the two of them were in a completely different world.
