Chapter 742: Appearance Of The Wandering Sinkhole (1/2)

Having gotten the confirmation from Lin Mu, King Hong certainly felt better than before. He just hoped that it would never come to the point where Gu Yao would act before them and they would be left as sitting ducks.

”That's good then. We have one less thing to worry about.” Adviser Liu said in a relieved tone.

”We can't get complacent though. If Gu Yao finds something he's unable to control something, he would rather have it eliminated permanently. You will have to watch out for that.

Though for now, the best would be to stay hidden and get stronger. Those that have already taken the oath will keep the secret, thus King Hong can still run his kingdom while here.

The only thing you mustn't do is appearing in front of the public. Your appearance… well, it's more than enough to catch a lot of attention. Plus, your vitality… you need to learn how to control it.” Lin Mu stated.

”My vitality?” King Hong questioned and looked at himself.

”Indeed, King Hong… your vitality is quite oppressive.” Hua San spoke.

King Hong closed his eyes and focused on his body. After about a minute, the pressure exuded by him reduced considerably.

~phew~

”That was slightly more difficult than I had expected.” King Hong muttered.

”That's good. You'll get a better hold over it soon enough.” Lin Mu spoke.

”Thank you for your help again Senior Lin Mu.” King Hong said with gratitude.

”It's fine. We just need to focus on the upcoming events now.” Lin Mu said before discussing some matters with everyone.

An hour later, the other members of the court appeared too and they were shocked to see King Hong to say the least. A cacophony of cheers was heard once they learned the fact that King Hong was a Nascent soul realm cultivator and even had a unique physique.

Every cultivator had heard of bloodlines and physiques and thus it was quite intriguing for them that their King had one as well. While they didn't speak of the details of his bloodline, King Hong did tell them that it was something that needed to be kept secret.

Everyone agreed instantly and even gave suggestions by which they could keep the public suspicion and external suspicion to the lowest. Quickly, solutions were given to hide the red pillar of light that had appeared when King Hong forcefully dissipated the heavenly tribulation clouds.

It was then decided that they would attribute it to the appearance of a natural treasure. The treasure was powerful enough that it wiped out the trees in a radius of five kilometers and thus that's why the area is barren now.

While it was bound to bring some attention to the kingdom from the sects, it was still far better than letting them thinking that someone broke through to the Nascent soul realm there.
