Chapter 469 - Envoy (2/2)

Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and remarked, “That’s impossible! The Inescapable Trap was already struck by the Heavenly Thunderbolts. Why hasn’t it been destroyed?”

A queer smile was seen on Long Dexing’s face. “This…”

All of a sudden, Ou Yangming expressed sternly, “Sir Devil G.o.d is above. If you dare to deceive me, you’ll be spurned by sir and won’t end well!”

Long Dexing’s face changed. He flushed and responded harshly, “You detestable fella, I won’t argue with you.” He put his hands behind his back. Even though he dared not speak nonsense, he did not say another word.

Ou Yangming laughed. “Since you say I inherited Sir Devil G.o.d’s power, I share the same bloodline as sir. If you don’t answer me, doesn’t it mean that you’re indirectly ignoring sir?”

Long Dexing was startled, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

“Are you willing to go to the upper realm with me?” He asked in a deep voice after a brief moment. His voice was deep and sonorous, and it sounded like he was scheming something.

Ou Yangming questioned seriously, “You should at least tell me the sequence of events if you’d like me to go to the upper realm. Do you think Sir Devil G.o.d will be pleased if I know nothing?”

“Okay, I’ll tell you,” Long Dexing replied to him after some thought. “The Heavenly Thunderbolts didn’t hit the Inescapable Trap, but the Venerable One that connected it from the upper realm. Once the Venerable One abandons the trap, and its aura is blasted by the thunderbolts, nothing else will happen.”

The young fellow was moved, and he slowly asked, “What’s the origin of the Insects’ Venerable One?”

“It’s an eight-legged lizard king, which is also the Lizards’ Ghost-clawed Venerable One. If you’d like to seek revenge, how about you follow me to meet sir first. As long as you receive sir’s authentic teaching, you’ll get what you want.”

Ou Yangming laughed out loud and asked, “Where does the Ghost-clawed Venerable One stand as compared to sir?”

Long Dexing was furious. “How could a mere Ghost-clawed be mentioned on equal terms with sir! Don’t ruin sir’s reputation or even I won’t be able to save you!”

Ou Yangming sneered but did not show it on his face. “Why did the Insects send three spirit beasts? What’s the reason behind it?”

Whether it was the Beasts or the Birds, though they sent more formidable spirit beasts this time, they only sent one each.

On the other hand, the Insects sent three spirit beasts and ultimate treasures such as the poisonous miasma and the Inescapable Trap. It was certainly abnormal for them to be so generous.

Long Dexing fell silent for a while before he answered, “It’s because of you.”

“Me?” Ou Yangming’s eyelids twitched. He kept a straight face and noted, “I can’t believe an insignificant person like me, who hasn’t even broken through to Extreme Grade, could cause such a drastic change. Heh, I’m overwhelmed.”

“Believe it or not, it was all because of you,” Long Dexing responded lazily.

Ou Yangming’s heart skipped a beat. ‘If that’s really the case, didn’t Elder Universe die because of me?’

“Explain it clearly.”

“Okay.” Long Dexing seemed to have come round, so he answered Ou Yangming’s question honestly, “Not only do you possess Sir Devil G.o.d’s ability, but you also have the Heavenly Phoenix’s ability, which is feared by every living being in the world. Therefore, every Almighty Being in the upper realm wants to find out the whereabouts of sir and that d.a.m.n Heavenly Phoenix.”

Ou Yangming was stunned. “What’s the Heavenly Phoenix?”

The Sky-devouring Devil G.o.d’s ability was naturally the effect caused by the Devouring attribute, but it was his first time hearing about the Heavenly Phoenix.

However, the Military Fire in his sea of consciousness swayed when he asked the question. He understood right away because of the intense fluctuation.

The Heavenly Phoenix was surely closely related to his Military Fire.

Long Dexing stared at Ou Yangming but could not notice anything from him. “The Heavenly Phoenix is sir’s sworn enemy. They had an ultimate fight in the past, but they both went missing and couldn’t be found.”

Ou Yangming nodded. “Sir’s whereabouts are unknown too? Why did you say you’re bringing me to meet sir?”

Long Dexing explained without any delay, “Sir’s true body is missing, but his consciousness still exists, and he’s constantly acc.u.mulated powers to rise again!”

For some reason, Ou Yangming tensed up a bit. He questioned fiercely, “I understand—you’re bringing me to meet him so that he can take over my body, right?”

Long Dexing had a strange look on his face. He could tell from Ou Yangming’s eyes that the young fellow would be dubious no matter how he explained. In actual fact, even he could not understand why his master had given such an order. In fact, Long Dexing did not know what would happen if he escorted Ou Yangming to the upper realm.

That said, it was no longer important if he knew the reason or not.

He sighed and uttered, “Since you’re not willing to do so, I can only take you away by force!”
