630 The Appearance of the Thunder Emperors Palace, A Bad Star (1/2)
As Administrator Zhang's personal bodyguard, Zhou Bao showed the power of a Venerable. Although he was far from being a Venerable, his Qi Power was extremely powerful. No one would look down upon him. Those who learned that he was lower than the Venerable Realm would think that he was hiding his cultivation or had practiced some special skill. In short, no one doubted him.
Doubt him?
No way! Administrator Zhang had ruled this vast area for at least a hundred thousand years. What did a hundred thousand years mean? A hundred thousand years ago, the Seven-deity Regions had been in the medieval period, which was now a legend. That was to say, if the old octopus lived in the Seven-deity Regions, he would have become a legend.
More than a hundred thousand years ago, he had become famous in the Sea Area, without a single defeat. He had an accumulated influence of more than a hundred thousand years. His authority was arguably greater than that of the Emperors of the Seven-deity Regions.
It was precisely because he had such strong authority that none of his subordinates dared to question him, nor did they dare to put forward different opinions. His subordinates followed his orders and obeyed him absolutely. He was sure that he could help Zhou Bao get the Pool of Thunder Tribulation.
Things were easy for Zhou Bao over the next few days. Undisturbed, he waited for the Thunder Emperor's palace to be opened, and then went to seek profit. While he waited, he picked up his companions with the help of Administrator Zhang.
His companions were Wang She and the Child-endowing Buddha.
When they arrived, they were amazed at how close Zhou Bao had suddenly become to such a powerful man of the Sea Area.
”It has been discovered that, when you came out of the Seven-deity Regions, the man who attacked the Golden Embroidered Warship was the Rolling Dragon King. We don't know how he got your information. Together with the other four Dragon Kings of the Five-dragon Regions, he laid a trap in space to make a sneak attack on you. He wanted you to be lost at the end of space. Unexpectedly, you guys came out, although it was a little late.”
”Humph, the Rolling Dragon King is going crazy. He was too preoccupied with revenge to care about anything. Had it not been for the barrier of the Seven-deity Regions, he would have attacked the Seven-deity Regions. Alas, Yu Nantian is out of luck!”
”That's good. The Divine Wind Palace has their hands full with the Rolling Dragon King. They are having a difficult time, but it gives us a chance to move in the dark!”
”The Divine Wind Palace may actually be about to fall on hard times. It would be unfortunate if they lost some men in the Thunder Emperor's palace!” the Child-endowing Buddha said faintly. ”If I were you, I would do everything possible to keep Yu Taixuan and the Divine Wind Palace Venerables in the Thunder Emperor's palace forever!”
”What about Yu Taixu?”
”He's the lord of the Divine Wind Palace. He not only has a special status, he also knows the secrets of the Ancient Celestial Court and has mysterious fate. Even if you try your best, I don't think you can kill him!” The Child-endowing Buddha shook his head. ”Maybe you'll both be weakened. That's not a good way. The best way to deal with a colossus like the Divine Wind Palace is to slowly chip away at its power, as we have been doing. Take them one by one and cut off their wings before they realize it. Then the final blow is sure to wipe them out!”
”As I killed Yu Taicang!”
”Yu Taicang was the first, not the last. Because of the profound nature of the Divine Wind Palace, killing one of their Lords of Heaven and dozens of Venerables won't harm their strength, nor will it arouse much attention from them. We can only weaken them slowly, and to a certain extent, we can collapse them. If Yu Taixuan and the Venerables were to die here, the Divine Wind Palace would be badly weakened and Yu Taixu's leadership would be in doubt. By then, the Divine Wind Palace will be unstable, and we'll have more opportunities!”
”What if I kill Hong Taihe too?”
”Hong Taihe is an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven, but he has refined the World-solidifying Skill, and he was defeated by you. His combat capability is at the level of a Six-tribulation Lord of Heaven. He is nothing to worry about. He might even be able to make trouble for the Yu Family!” Wang She shook his head at the idea. ”Now, let's plan what to do in the Thunder Emperor's palace!”
”The Thunder Emperor's palace is very important, but now I am in league with Administrator Zhang. We have the advantage of position and support. When the Thunder Emperor's palace shows up, we'll act according to circumstances!”
”That's what worries me the most. You are working closely with Administrator Zhang, but is he reliable? If this guy betrays us, we can't go on. His subordinates are so powerful, damn it. He alone is enough to conquer the entire Seven-deity Regions and beat down the so-called super sects. Can you guarantee that he won't cheat us?”
”He made a Great Vow of the Heart Demon. He won't dare to play tricks in the dark, unless the Great Vow of the Heart Demon can be broken!” Zhou Bao answered lightly. He looked at the Child-endowing Buddha, as if to ask if the Great Vow of the Heart Demon could be broken.
