Chapter 1119 - Chapter 1119 Chapter 1123 Ambush

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1123: Ambush Chapter 1119: Chapter 1123: Ambush Walking eastward, the land was so vast that nothing obstructed the view, so that when Zhu Minglang left the group, everyone else could clearly see him.

“Where is Venerable Zhu going?” Wei Huan quickly asked.

By now, Wei Huan had decided that Zhu Minglang was the most trustworthy person in this group of gods. Although Shen Sang, the East Palace Swordsman, finally regained his full strength, you couldn’t tell how incompetent this East Palace Swordsman was until you traveled with him.

“I’ll have a look around. I always feel like there’s something on this gray, empty land. You all rest, I’ll go by myself,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Then we’ll leave it to you,” Wei Huan nodded.

Watching Zhu Minglang’s figure gradually recede into the distance, the fairy ladies from Yuheng Star Palace, who were almost asleep, began to look a bit unsettled.

Everyone was clear that without Junior Master’s help, many of them would have perished on this journey.

…

Reaching a desolate area, Zhu Minglang found the soil actually very fertile. Some lowly plants should be able to grow here, yet not a blade of grass did.

When things are out of the ordinary, there must be demons around. Zhu Minglang felt it was best to be cautious.

“Mr. Jinli, that Xuan Ge girl might have deceived you, there is nothing here,” Mr. Jinli said.

“Let’s keep looking,” Zhu Minglang said.

“You should’ve looked for your second lady before coming here. She is much more reliable than Xuan Ge. The Ghost Mark Star is so vast, and not to mention Xuan Ge can hardly protect herself, she must be preoccupied with how to bring the Ghost Mark Star down. The clues she gave you are not precise at all,” Mr. Jinli began to chatter incessantly.

“I didn’t put all my hopes on her,” Zhu Minglang said.

After searching the wide expanse of gray land, Zhu Minglang didn’t see anything.

After a while, Zhu Minglang reluctantly realized that he had not found the clue to his opportunity; instead, he saw some people walking towards him.

The composition of these people was very interesting; basically, they were a collection of the people in the group that Zhu Minglang liked least.

“Not good, you’ve been tricked! That old woman lured you here to harm you, she might be in cahoots with Hua Chou!!” Mr. Jinli shouted.

Zhu Minglang also furrowed his brow, but whether this was a deliberate arrangement by the Xuan Ge God was not easy to say for now. After all, everyone saw him leave the group and come this way alone.

Even the people who disliked him, no matter how foolish, should probably guess that he was looking for an opportunity nearby, and to them, the last thing they wanted to see was his strength increase. They would stop at nothing to prevent that.

“Tsk tsk, I thought in the blink of an eye you would ascend to become an Immortal Monarch, but it turns out you’re still stuck at the God-lord Level like us. Since we’re all at the same level, what are you acting so haughty for? Don’t you know people like you should be tucking your tail between your legs!” Flaunting God walked over, a sneer on his face.

“I’m not very good at it, and I’ve never done it before. How about Flaunting God show me how to tuck my tail? You must be quite skilled at it, right?” Zhu Minglang also started to laugh.

“Heh heh, keep laughing, but look who’s behind me!” Flaunting God said.

Heavenly Stick Arhat Lin Ying strode towards Zhu Minglang, holding a golden Arhat Stick in one hand and with the other in front, he uttered a phrase of Buddhist scripture before saying to Zhu Minglang, “Venerable Zhu, I hope you have been well. You have been missing from Tianshu for a year, yet your cultivation base has increased by quite a bit. I remember you had just stepped into the God-lord Level then, and now you have already reached the peak.”

“Far from it, it’s your divinity that’s impressive, already becoming a Divine Monarch. Everyone looks up to you; I suppose after Hua Chou God comes out of closed-door cultivation, he will hold you in even higher esteem.” Zhu Minglang said.

“It’s just that I have been a little more diligent than the other friends from Tianshu, advancing a few steps earlier. With the current trend in our Divine Land, I believe more prodigious talents will emerge, all hoping to step into the Divine Monarch rank. Just like Venerable Zhu, but we can live peacefully with those people. The only one, Venerable Zhu, who must be excised like a cancerous tumor in our Tian Shu God Domain, is you!” Heavenly Stick Arhat Lin Ying stated.

“You think so highly of me?” Zhu Minglang was somewhat surprised.

“Of course, within Dragon Gate you overshadowed Our God, forcing Our God to choose seclusion and recuperation during an unprecedented time of massive change throughout the Divine Land. If it weren’t for Flaunting God and various other divinely skilled Immortal Gods, we would still be clueless as to who defied our deities. From a mere nobody in the Supreme Court Courtyard Continent to a Peak God-lord Level now, Venerable Zhu, your achievements are remarkable. To use ‘Defying Fate’ to describe it would not be an exaggeration…” Heavenly Stick Arhat Lin Ying said.

Hearing this, Zhu Minglang felt somewhat surprised.

So these guys knew?

But the matter should be possible to guess. There wouldn’t be too many new gods who have reached the Peak King Level and are breaking through to the Divine Monarch Level. Plus, there were his own experiences and performances in Xuange Country Capital.

Hua Chou had long since ordered to dig him out.

Over the past year in Tian Shu God Domain, Flaunting God and the Tianshu God Manor must have been investigating him, and it was highly probable that they finally pinned him down as the man Hua Chou was looking for!

Sigh, his sharpness had already been revealed. Back when he was at the Godson or God General Level, he could still conceal himself, but now it had become even harder to hide.

“Don’t expect Xuange God to save you; she probably can’t even predict the weather right now.” Flaunting God saw Zhu Minglang’s gaze wander toward the large troop and couldn’t help but mock, “That explains why you, a petty deity, always oppose us, daring to challenge the entire Tianshu God Manor. You think just because you had a moment of success in the Dragon Gate that you can stand above all of us!”

“Alright, there’s not much time; let’s finish him quickly and then let him fend for himself here on The Ghost Mark Star,” Hua Chong said.

“Don’t rush it, even if I am to die, at least let me die knowing the reason. I don’t understand any of this Dragon Gate business you’re talking about,” Zhu Minglang said.

“Stop pretending, now that you’re afraid, you want to delay? Let me tell you, no one takes you seriously. Even the Yuheng Star Palace has already informed us–you’re nothing but a Wild Child, and the vast majority there would rather see you dead!” Flaunting God said.

“No need to guess, it must have been Shen Sang who told you. Why didn’t he come along? If he were here, wouldn’t I be trapped?” Zhu Minglang said.

“So Venerable Zhu still thinks he has a chance?” Heavenly Stick Arhat Lin Ying started to laugh.

Zhu Minglang saw his calm and composed demeanor and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Is this the attitude of someone who’s been promoted to Divine Monarch, acting as if I’m not even worth considering?
