Chapter 5433 of Dragon King’s Order: Go to the God King’s Palace
Wu Hao looked at Zi Yuan with a smile on his face. “I’m fine. Thanks to Sect Master Lingyue and Fellow Daoist Chen, I’m still alive.”
Daoist Wuji, seeing Wu Hao, immediately stepped forward and bowed. “Master, I’m sorry for your hardships.”
Daoist Wuji knew that if Wu Hao hadn’t taken the Soul Eater away, none of them would have escaped.
Afterward, everyone sat inside the cave, and Daoist Wuji recounted their experiences.
It turned out that since their last separation, they had taken some surviving cultivators and hidden deep within the snowy mountains. Here, the climate was cold, the demonic energy was thin, and demonic cultivators rarely patrolled.
Even so, they had been attacked several times by demonic cultivators, and many cultivators had perished. Now, only a handful remained.
“Where’s Ao Lie? Is he not with you?” Wu Hao asked, his eyes filled with worry.
Zi Yuan sighed, a look of sadness on her face: “The last time we were attacked by demonic cultivators, Commander Ao Lie led the Imperial Guard to protect us and fought the demonic cultivators alone. In the end… he sacrificed his life.”
Hearing this news, everyone fell silent, their eyes filled with grief.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard of the Divine Kingdom, Ao Lie had dedicated his entire life to the Divine Kingdom, but now that he had ended up like this, it was truly a pity.
“Ao Lie is a hero of the Divine Kingdom, I will definitely avenge him!”
Wu Hao said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with determination.
Everyone nodded, and the anger in their hearts grew stronger.
After that, everyone discussed their next plans in the cave.
By now, they had gathered all the surviving cultivators they could find, but their numbers were only a few hundred, which was a huge difference compared to the hundreds of thousands of demonic souls and demonic cultivators under the control of the Soul Eater.
“The Soul Devourer has obtained the Sacrificial Manual and the assistance of one hundred thousand demon souls. His power is immeasurable. With our limited numbers, we are no match for him,”
a cultivator said anxiously.
“Are we all just going to watch helplessly as the Sixth Heaven is destroyed by the demonic cultivators?”
Another cultivator’s eyes were filled with despair.
Wu Hao looked at the crowd and said in a heavy voice, “We must not give up. The Sixth Heaven is our home, and we must protect it.
Now, our only hope is to seek reinforcements from other worlds.
The Divine Temple also consists of Protoss cultivators, who are of the same Protoss race as the Divine Kingdom cultivators. They will not stand idly by and watch the Divine Kingdom cultivators be slaughtered.
I have decided to bring Fellow Daoist Chen to the Divine King Palace to meet the Fourth Hall Master of the Divine Temple and ask for his help.”
A glimmer of hope flashed in everyone’s eyes upon hearing this.
The Divine Temple was truly powerful; with their help, perhaps they really could turn the tide and defeat the Soul Devourer.
As soon as Wu Hao finished speaking, David stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “Master, there’s no need to trouble you to accompany us on this matter. The Sixth Heaven is now fraught with crisis. You should stay here to lead the surviving monks and cling to the last ray of hope. I can go to the God King Palace alone.”
As soon as these words came out, the cave suddenly fell silent.
Zi Yuan was the first to panic. She stepped forward and grabbed David’s sleeve, her eyes filled with worry. “No! It’s too dangerous for you to go alone. The God King Palace is in the Eighth Heaven, and you have to pass through the Void Path. With your strength, what if something unexpected happens?”
Ling Yue also frowned and said, “Fellow Daoist Chen, Zi Yuan is right. The Eighth Heaven, where the God King Palace is located, is two realms away from the Sixth Heaven. The Void Path is already dangerous, and if you force your way through the realm barrier, the risks are too great. We can’t let you take this risk alone.”
David patted Zi Yuan’s hand gently and said firmly, “I know this journey is dangerous, but that’s precisely why I can’t let more people follow me.
You stay here to protect the surviving cultivators and monitor the Soul Eater’s movements. If I succeed in summoning reinforcements, we can work together from both inside and outside.”
