Quick Travel: The beginning is Shura Field

Chapter 1718: The Road to Godhood - Prequel (50)

Luo Wuji was satisfied listening to everyone's chatter.

Until there was a loud "boom", the whole lively scene suddenly fell silent.

A long sword with a red hilt pierced through the table in front of Luo Wuji. Along with the "crackling" sound of dishes breaking, the sharp blade filled with colorful light pierced into the ground, reflecting Luo Wuji's cold face.

"Sorry, my hand slipped."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Dai Ke walked in front to lead the way, and Mu Qingtian followed behind Dai Ke with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a relieved smile. Dai Ke walked straight to Luo Wuji, pulled out the long sword that was stuck in the ground, and swung the sword in his hand slightly: "I was wondering why this Shenting Flower Lake, which is filled with the fragrance of flowers, has a bad breath smell. It turns out that Lord Luo was in a hurry to go out and didn't rinse his mouth?"

"A Divine Lord who has reached a certain level of cultivation has nothing to show off every day, so he can only use the name of the Luo family to mock the Emperor?"

"You are so capable every day, and you easily criticize the emperor. Those who know you think you are the heir of the Luo family, and those who don't think you are the way of heaven!"

Luo Wuji stared at the strange little god in front of him, his eyes reddened by her sarcasm, and he roared with bloodshot eyes: "You are looking for death!"

Luo Wuji burst out with shocking power, and the sword in Dai Ke's hand turned back into a feather fan. However, no matter how strong the defense was, it still seemed precarious when facing the God Lord realm.

Mu Qingtian was standing between the two of them, and he didn't even make a move. The unstoppable force was instantly neutralized.

Luo Wuji stumbled back, holding his chest in pain, his hair in disarray, and pointed at Mu Qingtian angrily, "Mu Qingtian, you are so brave that you brought a barking dog to disrupt my banquet?"

Mu Qingtian's calm expression suddenly turned cold. Before he could speak, Dai Ke shouted, "Who are you? How dare you be rude to the Emperor?"

Mu Qingtian glanced sideways, seeing Dai Ke's angry expression defending him. The corners of his mouth curled up, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

He was happy that Dai Ke defended him, but at the same time he was afraid that this was all a disguise by Dai Ke.

"Mu Qingtian, you have trained a good dog!"

Luo Wuji couldn't beat him, and he didn't have the crazy momentum to scold him like Dai Ke, so he could only use Dai Ke to satirize Mu Qingtian.

There was a golden light in Mu Qingtian's eyes, and Luo Wuji immediately knelt on the ground in front of everyone.

"Mu Qingtian!!!"

Luo Wuji roared under the pressure, and his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot due to the humiliation. Dai Keren took advantage of his power and said, "The Emperor can get rid of a small fry like you with just a flick of his finger. You are not grateful for letting him live, and you are slandering the Emperor behind his back?"

As he spoke, Dai Ke glanced at the others and said, "Those fence-sitters who follow suit, you'd better keep your tails between your legs, otherwise his fate will be yours!"

Everyone looked at each other and talked in shock.

But what shocked them was obviously not the sudden appearance of Dai Ke, or Mu Qingtian's strength, but Mu Qingtian's support for Dai Ke.

After all, Mu Qingtian had no intention of taking action when he entered the venue. It was only after Dai Ke was attacked that Mu Qingtian chose to take action to save Dai Ke.

This unprecedented behavior caused everyone present to speculate about Dai Ke's identity.

Luo Wuji stared at Mu Qingtian: "Do you want to be an enemy of the entire Luo family branch?"

Although Luo Wuji is the only one left of the Luo family's pure bloodline, the Luo family still has side branches, and their size is huge, occupying one-tenth of the high positions in the entire God Realm.

Mu Qingtian's disrespectful behavior was bound to provoke the anger of the Luo family's side branches.

Mu Qingtian glanced at Luo Wuji indifferently, not taking his words to heart at all, and turned to ask Dai Ke: "Do you want to stay and play?"

Dai Ke snorted at Luo Wuji: "Forget it, there are people here who are too annoying. It's unlucky just to look at them."

Luo Wuji was so angry at Dai Ke that he gritted his teeth, but Mu Qingtian's pressure had not been withdrawn yet. He didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone take action.

Mu Qingtian turned around and Dai Ke immediately followed him away.

Only after their backs disappeared did Luo Wuji get a chance to catch his breath.

He slammed his clenched fist into the ground, and cracks immediately spread: "Mu Qingtian, I won't let you go!"

Dai Ke followed Mu Qingtian and tilted his head to observe Mu Qingtian's expression: "Am I... too impulsive?"

After asking, Dai Ke was eager to explain himself: "I just can't stand those people talking about the emperor like that. What right do they have?"

Mu Qingtian glanced sideways, seeing Dai Ke's indignant expression, and raised the corner of his lips: "Do you really want to protect me?"

"I work under the Emperor, and the Emperor takes such good care of me, so of course I have to protect you, and..."

Dai Ke lowered his head and nervously clicked his fingers: "Although the Emperor may not remember, I still want to say that we had some conflicts before, so I was very afraid of you before."

"But during this time with the Emperor, I found that he was very gentle, and I also wanted to make up for the mistakes I made before."

Mu Qingtian's expression paused slightly, and he looked at Dai Ke with inquiring eyes.

Is she really just trying to make amends, or is she acting again?

After thinking for a while, Mu Qingtian still didn't notice anything from Dai Ke's expression. At this moment, he realized that even he, the master, couldn't guess what his disciple was thinking.

But no matter whether it was true or false, he still chose to trust her again.

He just didn't believe that with his level of cultivation, he could die at Dai Ke's hands again.

It can also be said that he was completely gambling his life on Dai Ke's sincerity.

"The position of the Governor General of the Divine Realm is still vacant, but your cultivation is not enough. Once you concentrate on practicing and advance to the Divine King realm, you can take this position."

Dai Ke understood that Mu Qingtian was giving her a chance to advance, but at the same time, Dai Ke also recalled her memories of the underworld.

The position of Governor-General is the same as that of Inspector-General, who are direct henchmen around the emperor, but there are no six ministries in the divine world, so the power of the Governor-General will be greater.

This was exactly the opportunity Dai Ke wanted, an opportunity that could help her defeat her plan. Dai Ke said excitedly, "Thank you, Emperor, for your gift!"

-

"A thousand years is a bit long."

Dai Ke came out of the retreat room, and the formation and the sacred tree flower behind him became ineffective.

The petals filled with spiritual energy fell and quickly withered.

Dai Ke stood at the door, looking at the scene outside in a trance. He turned his head to look at He Chao who was leaning against the stone pillar: "It's been a thousand years?"

Mu Qingtian had promised her that she would be able to take over the position of Governor-General once she broke through the Divine King realm.

Dai Ke also went into seclusion immediately. With the help of the sacred tree flower and the acceleration of the formation, as well as the large amount of pills given by Dai Fengyu, he went into seclusion for a thousand years.

It seemed as if the days of seclusion were just last night, and the time passed by so quickly that there was no trace of it on her.

Dai Ke breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

He Chao held a golden token in his hand and handed it to Dai Ke: "After you went into seclusion, the Emperor also went into seclusion. Before he went into seclusion, he specifically asked me to give this to you if you come out before him."
