Chapter 426: Chapter 380: The Profound Intention of the Human Emperor!

"You two, what’s the situation now?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

"We were woken up—told that you needed to hurry back, or else there would be changes for those who are late," Angel One said, yawning.

"Really, if we could just get something to eat, I feel like we’re only a step away from a very powerful Power," Angel Two said.

"Yes, just one step away," Angel One said regretfully.

Wu Xiaode was speechless.

After consuming over thirty Ends, you still haven’t had enough?

"Anyway, we need to go back now, your abilities—"

He began but suddenly stopped.

Off in the distance.

Demons lay dead for hundreds of miles.

A figure was shuttling back and forth, annihilating all the demons, and then suddenly, in a flash, it shot toward him.

Caijing—

No, it should be said as Jing.

"What is it?"

Wu Xiaode asked.

Jing looked at him with a wooden expression and said, "I received the first Human Emperor’s Merit task, with something to give you."

As she finished speaking,

The Book of the Dead displayed a line of ice-crystal small characters:

"You, as a martial artist who has received the Human Emperor’s True Inheritance, thus can see the tasks that the Human Emperor has arranged for others."

"The related content is as follows:"

"Human Emperor’s Merit Task One: Return the spoils of war."

"Description: In your battle with the Destruction Council, you slew several experts qualified to enter the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm and collected their spoils of war."

"Task Objective: Hand over the spoils of war to the inheritor of the Human Emperor’s Martial Arts to gain corresponding Merit and learn a piece of Human Emperor knowledge."

"Task Failure: Eradication!"

Wu Xiaode silently read through and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

The Human Emperor is ruthless.

No wonder she’s so dispirited with such a task.

"Alright, hand it over to me," Wu Xiaode said.

Jing waved her hand.

Rustle rustle—

A noise ensued as seven or eight items fell to the ground.

"I’ve given you the spoils of war, and my task should be complete," Jing said emotionlessly.

Wu Xiaode glanced at the Book of the Dead.

A line of ice-crystal small characters started to emerge:

"Jing has completed the current task."

"You have received all the spoils of war."

"Jing has gained the task reward: Human Emperor Algebra."

"This is a branch of mathematics that studies the universal solutions and properties of numbers, quantities, relationships, structures, and algebraic equations (groups), of which the Human Emperor has unique insights."

"Studying algebra can help you understand how to count, how to buy and sell things, and the basics of calculation."

"—A Human Emperor basic subject."

"You must complete this volume and pass the examination with a score of 100 in order to proceed to the next level of Human Emperor’s Merit tasks."

Wu Xiaode’s eyes were filled with sympathy.

Why provoke the Human Emperor in his own secret realm, shouting about the destruction of the Human Race? Nobody could help you with that.

Suddenly, a small booklet appeared in front of Jing, with "Human Emperor Algebra" written in bold on the cover.

Jing clutched the "Human Emperor Algebra" booklet, her eyes filled with a venomous look:

"Someday I will have my revenge, Arian."

—That’s not right, I was just starting to feel sorry for you, and now you’re still showing me how fierce you can be!

The sympathy in Wu Xiaode’s eyes receded as he nodded earnestly and said:

"Jing, I, Arian have never been afraid in my life, I’ll be waiting for you in the Destruction Council."

"I’ll remember your words."

Jing turned and left.

Wu Xiaode lowered his head to meticulously examine the spoils of war on the ground.

—Jing killed those from the Destruction Council and left these things behind.

The Human Emperor actually left her such a task, making her give all these things to me.

What’s the meaning behind this?

Wu Xiaode squatted down and carefully selected the items.

First, there were some identity plates.

Spare weapons, armor, clothing.

Dry rations.

Communicators.

Teleportation Scrolls.

... That’s all.

Wu Xiaode was disappointed.

Are these things really worthy of being called spoils of war?

But the Human Emperor wouldn’t do things without reason; there must be his purpose in it.

Wu Xiaode gave up hope and started to browse through the identity plates.

"Hm?"

He exclaimed in surprise.

These identity plates seemed to have some significance.

Each plate was marked with "Attendant to Councilor Arian."

These people were attendants?

No wonder...

If they were someone else’s attendants, there was no need to seek out Arian’s whereabouts here.

Their numbers were consecutive, from 1 to 7, altogether seven individuals.

Perhaps Arian’s power had all been diminished in the Human Emperor’s secret realm.

Wu Xiaode opened one of the Teleportation Scrolls.

Immediately, the Book of the Dead displayed a line of ice-crystal small characters:

"Lower attendant teleportation channel of the Shangmo family."

This family...

Isn’t that the family to which Arian and Abner from the Destruction Council belong?

Wu Xiaode gently stroked his chin, ideas flickering through his mind.

"Skadi, Rester, do you remember what those attendants looked like?"

He asked.

"Remember," the Demon Gods responded.

"Good, Rester handles the disguise, Skadi is in charge of acting. Get a close attendant ready at once," Wu Xiaode said.

"You’re thinking of..."

"Trying it out."

Several minutes later.

A young man dressed in a red robe appeared before Wu Xiaode.

"Master, how do I look?"

The young man tilted his chin up and threw Wu Xiaode a flirtatious wink.

"It feels off... Skadi, you are now a man, act more normally," Wu Xiaode said.

"I was just joking with the master, to act normal is actually quite simple."

As the young man spoke, his expression immediately became serious and tense.

"Good, just like that. Let’s go and investigate,"

Wu Xiaode said.

"We’re not going to duel?" Audrey asked.

Wu Xiaode mused and then said, "The Human Emperor has left some things unsaid but has given me enough hints, plus I have a hunch..."

"What hunch?"

"The Destruction Council, such a greedy and self-destructive council, its style must come from those families that constitute it, which means—"

Wu Xiaode tore the scroll into pieces.

Space fluctuations filled the area.

He suddenly disappeared from within the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm.

...

The sunlight was warm.

The sky was clear for thousands of miles.

The scent of flowers blew in the wind.

A row of silent guards stood outside the magnificent palace.

Space shifted.

Wu Xiaode descended.

The guards looked his way but saw nothing.

—He was shrouded in the Silent Demon Mist, naturally invisible to these guards.

Wu Xiaode reacted swiftly, summoning Skadi immediately after teleporting, placing her in front of everyone.

"So it’s the trash from Arian’s side."

A guard said.

"Trash, where’s your ID scroll?" another guard demanded.

Skadi didn’t mind, reaching to show her ID scroll to the guards.

"Wait!" Wu Xiaode said.

He frowned at the group of guards opposite him.

...Something didn’t feel right.

There’s a saying that you look at the owner before you beat the dog. Arian is a member of the Destruction Council; would his attendants be casually referred to as ’trash’?

Skadi moved her hands and feet as if to ease the dizziness from teleportation or like she had just experienced a battle, taking a brief moment to catch her breath.

Using this time, she looked at Wu Xiaode.

—What should we do?

Wu Xiaode stood in the mist and said coldly, "How dare you call me trash, do you not want to mix in this place anymore?"

Skadi immediately repeated it.

The guards were all indifferent, staring at her coldly.

The leading guard stepped forward, his face expressionless as he said:

"Those who break the family rules will be stripped of all power and killed!"

He waved his hand.

The guards surged forward silently, surrounding Skadi.

Wu Xiaode said, "With just you? Wait until my master returns with the Human Emperor’s Tao Power; you will all die!"

Skadi looked around fiercely and repeated the lines.

Wu Xiaode carefully observed the guards and noticed that they all tensed up.

Suddenly.

A woman’s voice came from nearby:

"Alright, no need to trouble Arian’s attendant. Let him come over, I want to have a word with him."

Hearing her voice, the guards immediately saluted and said, "As you command, Mistress."

They stepped back.

The voice spoke again, "Come, Arian’s attendant, to the garden."

"Go and see what the situation is," Wu Xiaode said.

Following orders, Skadi walked towards where the voice had come from.

She ascended lofty steps, walked down a corridor adorned with lavish decorations to the end, went through several doors, and finally saw that place blooming with countless flowers.

A noblewoman dressed in a red gown and covered in ornate jewelry was admiring the flowers.

"Tell me, what is the current situation of the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm?"

She looked at the flowers on the branches, not turning her head as she inquired.

Wu Xiaode didn’t understand her relationship with Arian. He pondered for a moment, then said:

"Replying to the Mistress, even the Divine Girl Caijing, who controls time, has been defeated. Only we had the last laugh."

"Did Arian truly obtain the Human Emperor’s Tao Power?"

"Truly."

"Let me confirm it. I also knew that one called Caijing went to the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm. If you tell lies..."

"It’s up to the Mistress to decide what to do with us."

"Fine!"

The woman made a casual gesture.

A few afterimages flashed and disappeared around her.

After seven or eight breaths of time.

The woman suddenly perked up, turned around, and walked swiftly to Skadi, grabbing her hands tightly and saying:

"I didn’t expect he’d actually succeed!"

"It’s true, Mistress," Skadi said.

"Indeed... My only confidant with entry rights to the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm has checked; Caijing is being enslaved by the Human Emperor’s Power inside... Where is your master? Have him come to me," the woman said.

"Right now?" Skadi asked.

The woman seemed in high spirits, humming before speaking up:

"I’ve always supported him. In the end, he lost to his brother in the duel—I thought my investment had been wasted, but who would have thought he really obtained the Human Emperor’s Tao Power."

"Listen, go tell him immediately."

"If he wants to kill his brother and inherit the Family Head position himself, there’s one last chance!"
