Free Web NovelChapter 1972: Chapter 1972: Pei Kuang’s Magic Box
Boom boom boom...
As the sound from inside the tower transmitted by Pei Kuang resounded, the Qianwang powerhouses outside suddenly erupted with True Qi.
One after another, soaring into the sky.
Just as Pei Kuang had been a few hours ago, when Pei Chang’s Life Lamp shattered, he could still maintain his composure, but when Feng Leibao’s Life Lamp shattered just now, he could no longer hold back.
A Holy Martial Stage, plus a First Emperor of Qianwang with combat power close to the Holy Martial Stage.
They were killed on the same day. No matter how deep Pei Kuang’s scheming was, he couldn’t withstand the fury.
The next moment, a scruffy-bearded middle-aged man roared, "Father, who did this? I want to tear them to pieces."
The speaker was none other than the Second Emperor of Qianwang, Pei Kuang’s eldest son, Pei Yuguang.
However, Pei Kuang did not like this eldest son because he was too similar to Pei Chang in temperament, being just a reckless type with even less Martial Arts Talent than Pei Chang.
Now he’s already at an advanced age, yet he still hasn’t reached the Holy Martial Stage, utterly useless.
Nevertheless, Pei Kuang responded, "According to the message I just received from Feng Leibao, it was the Overlord Commerce and Murong Jianyun."
At this moment, Pei Kuang had only recently received the transmission from a few days before from Feng Leibao, which was after he was injured while failing to stop Murong Jianyun in the Willow Leaf Forest.
Even with the distance between Willow Leaf City and the Qianwang Holy Tower, transmitting messages takes three to four days and nights.
And the message content was merely...
Pei Yupo had his identity exposed; the Soul Dominator’s Heir was leading the entire Willow Leaf City region in continuous resistance, and Feng Leibao failed to stop Murong Jianyun, necessitating a second remedial plan, etc.
What happened after the specific remedial plan, Pei Kuang still did not know.
At the time, Pei Kuang only knew that the Life Lamps of Changyi Emperor and others kept shattering, then he sensed something was wrong and forcibly paid a great cost to teleport his seventh brother, Pei Xie, to Willow Leaf City, yet he still did not know the situation.
Logically, Pei Xie should have arrived and could win.
But the deaths of Pei Chang and Feng Leibao made Pei Kuang feel that things were not so simple...
Thinking of this, Pei Kuang added coldly, "There’s also a very good chance that Pei Xie will die."
As soon as these words came out, everyone trembled again.
This was a being known as the world’s number one Array Master, the super trump card of the Qianwang Holy Tower, if he also died, the blow to the Qianwang Holy Tower would be much greater than Pei Chang.
Finally, Pei Yuguang couldn’t help but roar lowly, "Father, I beg to immediately go and destroy the Overlord Commerce."
As soon as the words fell... boom!
A terrifying force suddenly struck from inside the building, hitting Pei Yuguang hard and sending him flying.
Of course, it was Pei Kuang who struck...
Pei Yuguang spat out a mouthful of blood in shock and asked in confusion, "Father, what are you doing?"
Pei Kuang’s icy voice thundered from inside the building, "Nothing is clear right now, what are you applying for?"
The rest of the Qianwang powerhouses bowed their heads, silent and trembling.
With the consecutive deaths of Pei Chang and Feng Leibao, the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall’s plan was almost destroyed, and was it really only the Overlord Commerce’s doing?
Or was it really possible that the known Overlord Commerce could achieve this? Were there other powerful forces continuously supporting them? What if there is a trap if we rashly attack Overlord City now?
What’s important now is not mindlessly charging in, but rather obtaining more intelligence and details first,
"For now, we must understand all the situation in Willow Leaf City before making any decision..."
After knocking his eldest son one hit, Pei Kuang seemed to finally regain his calm and composed demeanor, venting some of his anger.
Yet his voice started to sink again as he said, "However, there is one thing that can be done immediately."
"Immediately announce to the outside that it’s the Overlord Commerce conspiring with Su Old Demon Remnants and launching the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall plan. After we, the Qianwang Holy Tower, received intelligence, we immediately dispatched Pei Chang and Feng Leibao to stop it."
"Then they met their tragic end in Willow Leaf City..."
"The good news is, the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall has been mostly destroyed, but the ambition of Overlord Commerce and Su Old Demon Remnants has not died."
Following Pei Kuang’s words, everyone nodded heavily, certainly understanding what Pei Kuang intended to do.
To continue pouring dirty water on the Overlord Commerce and establishing the image of the Qianwang Holy Tower as righteousness.
At this moment, Pei Kuang continued to order, "Also announce to the outside that we already have absolute evidence that Pei Yuxian and Pei Yushan were previously harmed by the Overlord Commerce and will soon march to accuse Overlord City."
All the Qianwang powerhouses responded again, indicating their understanding.
And these matters are merely rumors to be spread to the outside for now; the actual declaration of war will have to wait until all intelligence and details are fully understood.
"For now, disperse," Pei Kuang spoke in a low voice again.
The Qianwang powerhouses gave a deep bow in response, then began to leave the golden building step by step.
In a certain room within the golden building, only Pei Kuang was left, but he soon spoke softly again, "Qian Ta..."
Shush...
A shadow draped in black suddenly appeared before Pei Kuang, exuding a terrifying aura of darkness. If Murong Jianyun saw this person, he would surely cry out, yet another of the Holy Martial Stage.
The black-clad figure named Qian Ta, upon landing, bent down and said, "Master, please give your orders."
Pei Kuang slightly raised his head, coldly saying, "I suspect there’s a mole within our Qianwang Holy Tower, investigate immediately for me."
Although the situation in Willow Leaf City is unclear, the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall plan was very comprehensive. Even someone like Pei Yuguang knew little about it, but the Overlord Commerce seemed well-prepared for the battle in Willow Leaf City.
Therefore, Pei Kuang suspected a traitor sold the information.
If it wasn’t predetermined, how could the Overlord Commerce, with their capabilities, have killed Pei Chang and Feng Leibao in such a short time?
Even though Pei Kuang was formidable, he couldn’t have anticipated that while the Overlord Commerce had indeed prepared in advance, they were also quite unclear about the Qianyuan Holy Demon Hall plan initially, relying solely on Sikong Jing’s various discoveries.
Along with Sikong Jing’s arrangements and war strategies, plus the luck of encountering the Qianyuan War Emperor.
But Pei Kuang was unaware of these, so the mole had to be found.
The black-clad man named Qian Ta before him was the Master of Dark Tower of the Qianwang Holy Tower, responsible for intelligence and assassin operations, and he was also the direct leader of the Thousand Prison Tower chess pieces.
In other words, the Tower Master of the Thousand Prison Tower.
"Yes, Master."
Qian Ta received the order heavily and then said, "Master, some of the Thousand Prison Tower chess pieces have been outside for quite some time, some of whom may need to be summoned back for questioning and investigation. I fear some might develop ulterior motives due to the appearance of Su Old Demon’s remnants."
Upon hearing these words, a chilling light flashed in Pei Kuang’s eyes.
"Not just Su Old Demon’s remnants, my brother’s death might also cause some to harbor ulterior motives. After everything in Willow Leaf City becomes clear, we will summon those chess pieces for a thorough inspection."
"Now, first investigate the mole. Leave no stone unturned."
With Pei Kuang’s words, Qian Ta nodded heavily before retreating.
And Pei Kuang’s eyes remained cold, taking some time to calm his emotions.
At this moment, he slowly took out a golden crystal ball, which was engraved with complex patterns. If Sikong Jing saw it, he would surely be surprised... yet another magic box.
