King of Assassins

Chapter 1270: Chapter 762: Ambition (Part 3)

Xiankong Ancestor said again: "Ten Sufferings spoke on our behalf at the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly, saying that Gao Xuan’s domination of the Eight Desolates is just his first step, and he plans to dominate the Primordial Celestial Realm. He is a great threat to the Central Province.

"At that time, I can take people over to cry and plead for Earth Element Daoist Monarch to stand up for us."

Ba Snake doubted: "Will Earth Element Daoist Monarch really stand up for us that way?"

"At least it’s worth a try."

Xiankong Ancestor smiled and said: "Earth Element Daoist Monarch sees himself as number one in the world; he may disregard the upheavals in the Eight Desolates, but he cannot allow Gao Xuan to disrupt the Central Province. If he feels threatened by Gao Xuan, he will definitely take action to subdue him."

Ba Snake was incredulous: "Will that really work?"

"We won’t ever understand the mind of such a person like Earth Element Daoist Monarch."

Xiankong Ancestor said: "It might work, or it might not. But what if it does?"

Celestial Corpse said to Ba Snake: "Do not bother. With your skills, going to face Gao Xuan is suicide."

Ba Snake was full of defiance: "Celestial Corpse, if you’re not convinced we can try it."

Celestial Corpse spread his hands: "I admit defeat to you. But what’s the point if you can beat me? I’m far worse than Gao Xuan."

With the conversation at this point, Ba Snake couldn’t continue to lose his temper.

"Earth Element Daoist Monarch is magnanimous, humble on the outside, strong within. Ten Suffering Bodhisattva is deep and reserved, gentle on the outside, vicious inside. Yuan Qinglian is sharp and acts with the clarity and precision of a sword."

Xiankong Ancestor said: "Besides these three, there are Paradise Demon Monarch and Polar Star Monarch, both are the supreme figures of our time. Paradise Demon Monarch originates from Celestial Demon, ever-changing, and nobody knows his true form.

"Polar Star Monarch is the head of the Celestial Court in this realm; although his cultivation might be slightly lacking, he is backed by the Celestial Court. Even someone as strong as Yuan Qinglian wouldn’t provoke him..."

Many Demon Emperors perked up their ears listening; they had all heard of these names but knew nothing concrete.

Xiankong Ancestor analyzed these supreme figures one by one, giving the Demon Emperors a broader perspective and a deeper understanding of these powerful individuals.

Xiankong Ancestor continued: "It is rumored that Gao Xuan is originally from the Celestial Court. I had dealings with Polar Star Monarch in my early years, barely can call him a friend. This time, Polar Star Monarch will also come; I’ll visit him and ask him to lend a hand in our affair..."

Many Demon Emperors were excited; listening to Xiankong Ancestor, things really seemed hopeful.

Xiankong Ancestor suddenly changed direction: "However, you cannot visit a friend empty-handed. This matter affects your futures, so I ask for your generous help..."

Many Demon Emperors showed strange expressions; after all Xiankong Ancestor’s talk, he intended to fleece them.

However, what Xiankong Ancestor said made sense too. There’s no free action taken.

Many Demon Emperors had dominated regions for millions of years, amassing countless Exotic Treasures. It was acceptable to bleed a little now.

Celestial Corpse led the way by taking out a Five-Colored Stone, said to be a fragment of an ancient Heaven Mending Stone. Though uncertain if true, it was of extraordinary spirituality.

With someone taking the lead, other Demon Emperors generously followed suit.

Though Ba Snake felt something was amiss, he reluctantly took out Purple-leaf Celestial Ginseng to give to Xiankong Ancestor.

Not to mention anything else, the mere fact Xiankong Ancestor dared to contact Yuan Qinglian and invite him to eliminate Gao Xuan demonstrated courage worthy of trust from the Demon Emperors.

Xiankong Ancestor took these treasures and immediately went with Celestial Corpse to visit Polar Star Monarch at Celestial Star Palace.

Celestial Star Palace is Polar Star Monarch’s estate in Four Seas City, where a large number of people from the Celestial Court are stationed.

Four Seas City is the trade center of Central Province, and naturally, the Celestial Court also engages in business and earns money.

Moreover, due to the Celestial Court’s influence, taxes at Celestial Star Palace are very low. It’s also a way for Earth Element Daoist Monarch to give face to Polar Star Monarch.

Xiankong Ancestor and Celestial Corpse arrived at the main gate of Celestial Star Palace, where attendants had been waiting for them.

The two strong figures followed the attendants into the rear hall of Celestial Star Palace and met Polar Star Monarch.

Polar Star Monarch’s face was handsome, his eyes as brilliant as morning stars. He wore a deep blue robe resembling the deep starry sky. On his head, he wore a blue and gold Magical Crown, looking quite dignified.

Seeing Celestial Corpse and Xiankong Ancestor’s arrival, Polar Star Monarch descended to greet them, behaving warmly.

Xiankong Ancestor did not dare to be arrogant, respectfully offering salutations.

Celestial Corpse had seen Polar Star Monarch before and similarly paid respects.

Polar Star Monarch returned the salutations and invited the two to sit, with maids serving aromatic tea.

"It has been hundreds of thousands of years since we last met; you both are here to attend the Tri-Element Dharma Assembly, I presume?"

Polar Star Monarch had met them only a few times, barely qualifying as a friend. He could somewhat guess the purpose of their sudden visit.

However, he did not proactively bring up the matter regarding Gao Xuan.

"Ashamedly, Star Monarch, I blush to say we have become like homeless dogs, and implore Star Monarch to lend us a helping hand..."

Xiankong Ancestor fully laid out the issue upfront.

Polar Star Monarch showed a surprised expression: "Honored Daoists, what is the meaning of this?"

"There arose a villain named Gao Xuan in the Eight Desolates; does Star Monarch know of him?"

Speaking of Gao Xuan, Xiankong Ancestor was gnashing his teeth, with some exaggeration but also genuine feelings.

"Gao Xuan is extremely arrogant and brutal, having slaughtered hundreds of Daoist friends in the Eight Desolates, using their Essence Blood and Divine Soul to forge a Magical Artifact, his vicious prestige is overwhelming. Now he has occupied the Eight Desolates, and I anticipate his ambitious nature will lead to his invasion of the Central Province once he refines a world-dominating weapon..."

To persuade Polar Star Monarch to help, Xiankong Ancestor exaggerated Gao Xuan’s vicious cruelty as much as possible.

In reality, he didn’t know why Gao Xuan was aggressively expanding or how he handled the other Demon Emperors. But speaking this way couldn’t be wrong!

Polar Star Monarch slightly frowned, of course, he had heard of Gao Xuan’s reputation and knew Gao Xuan had now dominated the Eight Desolates.
