Chapter 1032: Just a Slug (1/2)

“The Dragonquake Scripture belongs to my Inception Palace. It would be best if the princess of the Nirvana Palace refrain from becoming involved,” said the monarch of Inception Palace with a warm smile on his face.

He shifted slightly and perfectly blocked the princess’s path.

“Hmph,” the princess snorted. “You think too highly of yourself, monarch of Inception Palace! This is the Nirvana Palace!”

Each of the six sacred palaces wielded their own law of the highest order; there was no hierarchy or internal ranking between them. Though the monarch of a palace outranked a princess, he was in another’s territory. If Nirvana Palace’s power was activated, it would crush even a fearsome monarch like him.

“A singular monarch of the Inception Palace is indeed insufficient to suppress you, but what if I’m added into the mix?” A third voice sounded in the void as a sylphlike woman walked through empty air.

“Monarch of the Creation Palace!” Haughty reassurance finally slid off the princess’s face with this newcomer.

With the rulers of the Inception and Creation Palaces jointly on her doorstep, even the monarch of Nirvana Palace would have to bow his head in defeat, to say nothing of a mere princess.

“We would invite the princess not to go anywhere. Just stay here and enjoy the comforts of home, or I can’t guarantee what might happen next,” the monarch of Creation Palace said merrily and looked at her counterpart of the Inception Palace.

The princess’s expression was so foreboding that it promised a swift and painful death to whoever got in her way next. She hadn’t thought that the Inception and Creation Palace would ally together against her. She could unilaterally make use of her palace’s power to keep another palace lord at bay, but if she defied two of them…

She wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.

The arrival of the second also meant that the two palaces had made full preparations and were ready for anything.

“Hmph!” she snorted and left with a pompous turn of her body. Why are the monarchs of Inception and Creation Palace walking together?

Bleak thoughts filtered through her mind. The six sacred palaces had been independent since the day of their founding, with neither enmity nor alliance with each other ever on the table. It wasn’t a good sign that two of them were working together now.

……

“Who would’ve thought that he’d stir up so much trouble.”

Up in the void, the rulers of Inception and Creation Palace stood side by side and looked at where a clear chaos current had once flowed. The monarch of Creation Palace was naturally Huaxu.

“I’d thought he was one of the thirty six. So he hasn’t come at all!” The ruler of Inception Palace shook his head. “He’s much more shrewd than he was in the great wilderness.”

Leize and Huaxu of the great wilderness were the replicas of the rulers of Inception and Creation Palace!

“We should go take a look as well,” Huaxu mused meaningfully. “He has deep ties with that one. I wonder what their relationship is?”

“He doesn’t seem to be a pawn of that one. How else would the treasure exceeding the chaos end up in his hands?”

“I agree.”

They both vanished at the same time.
