Chapter 1300 - The Path Of Apocalypse (23)

The people waited anxiously below the pagoda. Dan Jing was nervous. No one knew what he was nervous for.

The pagoda flashed once. Ming Shu and the young man appeared. Dan Jing was the first to rush over.

“Lord.”

There was no one else beside her. Something flashed past Dan Jing’s mind.

“Where are the rest of the people?” Long Zhenghai’s voice was heard before Ming Shu saw his body.

Why did she come down alone?

“Elder Long, mind your words.” Dan Jing’s expression darkened.

If Lord got angry, no one would be spared.

Long Zhenghai and the prince of Lie Yang Country arrived at the same time. The prince observed the situation and didn’t say anything. Long Zhenghai, on the other hand, couldn’t control himself. “She brought so many people in, but she came out alone. What happened to the others?”

“I’m able to come out because I’m powerful. Your men couldn’t come out because their cultivation level is not high enough. You can’t blame me.”

Ming Shu felt wronged.

Long Zhenghai was indignant when Ming Shu said that their cultivation level was not high enough.

He glared at Ming Shu and gritted his teeth. “Your cultivation level is not high, either. All the people that went in are more powerful than you.”

He was not the best, but he felt that he was stronger than this little girl in front of him.

Ming Shu gave an irritating smile. “When I say powerful… I don’t mean strength. I mean intelligence.”

Long Zhenghai: “…”

Why did he feel that she was scolding him?

The prince of Lie Yang Country was more polite. “Miss, may I know what is the situation inside?”

Ming Shu smiled gently. She scolded Long Zhenghai, “This is how you should ask a question. Learn from him.”

Long Zhenghai: “…”

He was the elder of the Long family. He was like the advisor of Dongyuan Continent. Yet, this little girl reprimanded him.

Dan Jing brought this lady here to irritate him, right?

Dan Jing: “…” He was the one who brought Ming Shu here, but he didn’t have such intentions.

Ming Shu finished reprimanding Long Zhenghai and looked at the prince. “Do I have to answer you just because you look handsome?”

The prince of Lie Yang Country: “…”

Didn’t you say that I’m polite? Why are you rejecting me?

“Little girl, don’t think that you’re somebody just because you entered the pagoda!”

Long Zhenghai was furious.

Long Zhenghai would have attacked her if she hadn’t just come out of the pagoda.

He had never felt so angry before.

He blamed Dan Jing for this.

Dan Jing: “…”

What does that have to do with me!

Ming Shu smiled. “Erm… why don’t you go in? That way, you can feel proud of yourself too. However, with your power, it might be a little hard. But I still have high hopes for you. Everyone should have a dream.”

“You!”

Long Zhenghai’s face turned red. He remembered his status and forced himself to remain calm.

He looked at Dan Jing. “King Dan Jing, where did this lady come from?”

When she spoke, Dan Jing never said anything. His attitude was still so weird.

He wanted to believe that this lady had a huge background, but she was so weak.

He felt that Dan Jing had some tricks up his sleeve.

Dan Jing: “…” Why is he asking this again! If he could say it, he would have said it long ago! A bunch of idiots!

Dan Jing continued to pretend that he never heard anything.

The prince of Lie Yang Country regained his senses and asked, “Miss, we just want to know what is happening inside. If it’s convenient for you, can you tell us?”

He was not as impulsive as Long Zhenghai. Dan Jing’s attitude was strange. Also, if she could come out of the Apocalypse Pagoda alive, it meant that she had some ability.

Long Zhenghai was not stupid. He was just offended by what Ming Shu said.

After hearing what the prince said, he calmed down a little.

Ming Shu smiled brightly and rejected the prince. “Not convenient.”

The prince of Lie Yang Country: “…”

She would not tell him anything!

“I have told you all before that their life and death depend on their luck. There is no use asking me these questions. Just wait to collect their corpses.”

Didn’t you say that there is no point in asking you anything? Why did you ask us to wait and collect their corpse?!

The prince frowned.

Long Zhenghai wanted to flare up again.

“Let’s go, King Dan Jing.” Ming Shu looked at Dan Jing.

Dan Jing immediately turned around and guided the way. “Lord, this way please.”

After Ming Shu and Dan Jing returned to the tents of the people from Xuanzi Continent, the prince said, “Elder Long, who do you think that lady is?”

“A little girl with a low cultivation level…” Long Zhenghai paused. “Dan Jing’s attitude is weird. Either she has a powerful background or Dan Jing is fooling us.”

The prince said, “But, she entered the Apocalypse Pagoda from the bottom. No one else knew this path. She is able to go in and out of the Apocalypse Pagoda easily too.”

This was an important point.

Long Zhenghai frowned. “We are not sure what is happening inside the Apocalypse Pagoda. Also, the people from the Xuanzi Continent were the first to notice that there was something amiss with the Apocalypse Pagoda. They were the first to arrive too…”

Everyone knew that the people from Congtian were the first to enter the pagoda.

Did the people from Xuanzi Continent send someone in before them? Were they waiting inside the pagoda for others to enter?

The prince of Lie Yang Country raised his eyebrows. “According to what you said, this is a scheme of the Xuanzi Continent?”

Long Zhenghai knew that words shouldn’t be carelessly said. He scoffed. “I never said anything.”

The two of them exchanged glances with each other. They understood what the other was thinking.

Who is the lady? Does she have a powerful background or was this a scheme of the Xuanzi Continent? They had to figure these questions out themselves.

“Xuanzi Continent had been declining rapidly over the past few years…” The prince of Lie Yang Country sighed.

No one knew if he was talking to himself or talking to Long Zhenghai.

…

Dan Jing brought Ming Shu back to the Xuanzi Continent tents. He served some tea. He didn’t look like a king at all.

The people beside them looked at him curiously.

Dan Jing asked carefully, “Lord, what is happening inside the pagoda?”

“I don’t know.”

Ming Shu was not lying. She really didn’t know anything.

King Dan Jing hesitated. “Erm… what should we do now?”

“Wait and see.”

Dan Jing: “…” Wait and see? We can’t just do nothing, right?

Those people outside would keep going in.

So what if many people were killed?

Everyone would think that they were special. They all felt that they could find a special path and rule over everyone.

This made them willing to take the risk.

Ming Shu took a sip of tea. She glanced at Qi Yu. He was sitting there quietly. She said, “I have something to ask you.”

Dan Jing hurriedly lowered his head. “Please say it.”

“Do you know anyone with the surname ‘Xi’?”

Ming Shu placed her finger in the teacup and use the water to write the word.

Dan Jing frowned. “Xi? Lord, I have never heard of this surname before. There are no powerful or famous families in the Xuanzi Continent with this surname.”
