Chapter 116: Fifth Prince, the Future Emperor of Da Qian!_1
While Su Mu was thinking about all sorts of things, the Ten Desolates Divine Wraith Formation had already begun to activate!
The ten peaks spurted out a terrifying baleful aura one after another.
The baleful aura soared into the clouds and pierced through the sky!
At this time, Zhuge Hongtu had already woken up.
His mind was actually very stable.
However, the red dragon centipede had used an unknown method to plot against Zhuge Hongtu in advance, and that was why he was temporarily occupied by the desire to kill.
At this moment, the moment danger appeared, he immediately woke up.
” How dare you, demon?!”
Zhuge Hongtu’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this.
He abandoned the tree demon and five divine swords flew out. The five swords combined into a huge sword as wide as a door. He slashed at the red dragon centipede from a distance of more than ten miles.
The boundless Stellar Energy fused with the power of the five elements and transformed into a five-colored sword beam that flew across the sky.
Boundless power!
At this moment, the red dragon centipede was competing with Yun Qingkong.
Even though he had the upper hand, it was difficult for him to free his hands to deal with Zhuge Hongtu’s full-powered sword.
If it was a fair fight, Yun Qingkong and Zhuge Hongtu would be able to suppress the red dragon centipede in this dungeon.
However, this monster had planned for a long time. How could he fight them openly?
This sword light was indeed powerful.
But it was too late!
In the next moment, the ten towering baleful auras echoed each other.
The earth rumbled as the Ten Barren God Termination Formation was completely activated.
The sky had darkened!
..
Su Mu was originally watching the battle from the side, his heart and mind surging.
However, after the vicious formation was activated, he was also affected.
In just a moment, Su Mu’s vision fell into endless darkness, losing all light.
To be more precise, it was not that the sky was dark, but that he had lost his sight.
Su Mu sensed that he had not only lost his sight, but also all his senses!
He couldn’t even feel his own body!
It was as if his soul had been pulled out and he was placed in an endless void!
At the last moment, Su Mu could vaguely see countless blood-red eyes staring coldly at him.
However, it immediately closed, leaving only endless nothingness.
“What’s going on? Where is my body?”
Su Mu was somewhat surprised.
The enemy’s methods were too powerful, so much so that Su Mu didn’t know what had happened.
He could not sense the existence of his body, let alone spiritual energy.
However, it did not seem to be completely dead. Otherwise, it would have returned to the standby space.
Su Mu was at a loss.
Just like that, his consciousness floated up and down in the void, seemingly endless.
In this state, he lost the concept of time.
After an unknown amount of time, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of Su Mu’s eyes.
His spirit was shaken, and his entire person became excited!
If it wasn’t for Su Mu’s tenacious nature and the fact that he had been trapped in his body for 18 years due to the [Great Dream] talent, he would have been able to escape.
The ups and downs in the void was enough to drive him crazy!
Fortunately, Su Mu had finally reached his limit. At least he no longer had to accompany the endless void.
With this thought in mind, he carefully observed the things that appeared in front of him.
There were trees, weeds, small beasts, birds, and a Taoist temple covered in vines.
Everything seemed so familiar.
This was…The peak of Yunding Peak?
For some reason, the shattered cloud peak returned to its original state.
Even the Flying Cloud Temple was still the same as before.
..
Seeing this, Su Mu was shocked and thought of a possibility.
He tried his best to control his body, but he could only barely turn his head back a little.
Su Mu saw that behind him was a strange tentacle-like branch that led to the inside of the Flying Cloud Temple.
When he sensed it again, he had no life force. He was already a dead man!
Su Mu’s guess was correct.
He died and became the puppet of the tree demon!
However, unlike ordinary puppets, Su Mu still retained the last bit of consciousness.
He could gain some autonomy at the critical moment.
However, this was a huge expenditure for Su Mu!
Just by turning his head, Su Mu used up all his strength, and his consciousness once again sank into nothingness.
If he really wanted to calculate, he only had 1% of his control over his body left.
However, Su Mu didn’t choose to end his own life. Instead, he chose to struggle to survive.
He wanted to see what would happen next.
Everything that happened in Yuntai Town was strange.
Su Mu’s mind was filled with questions.
Were Yun Qingkong and Zhuge Hongtu dead?
Why was the red dragon centipede looking for trouble with the two of them?
How did the red dragon centipede sneak into the palace and become the Imperial Advisor of Da Qian?
If everything in Yuntai Town was a trap set up by the red dragon centipede just to take down Yun Qingkong and Zhuge Hongtu…
What was the purpose of Yuntai Town’s existence now?
Why did he deliberately return to his previous appearance?
..
One question after another troubled Su Mu.
Su Mu had a vague premonition that the root of the Great Gan Empire’s impending collapse had been buried decades ago!
This instance dungeon hid a huge secret!
※※※※※※
Days passed.
Su Mu became one of the puppets controlled by the tree demon, and only woke up after a long time.
Most of the time, he was resting and storing his energy in case he needed to struggle.
After such a long time, Yuntai Town was still the same Yuntai Town.
During this period, many people came, but they all easily lost their lives.
He didn’t even need the Crimson Dragon Centipede to show up.
On this day, the unchanging days finally ushered in a change.
In a daze, Su Mu sensed that someone had arrived at the top of the cloud mountain and was walking towards it.
To be able to come this far, it was a little powerful to kill those mutated townspeople.
Thus, Su Mu went online once again and gained a field of vision, wanting to see who it was.
A group of people charged out amidst the clouds.
The leader of the group was a young man with an imposing appearance and a noble aura.
He was dressed in the uniform of a Demon Slayer, and his black outfit made him look quite handsome.
However, this young man had a worried look on his face, as if he was troubled by something.
There were more than 20 Demon Slayers surrounding this young man.
But after a quick glance, Su Mu silently shook his head.
The strength of this group of people was not bad.
The strongest person was standing guard beside the young man. He was a Zongshi realm intermediate stage martial artist.
In other places, this level of cultivation could already sweep across an area.
However, it was not enough in Yuntai Town.
Yun Qingkong and Zhuge Hongtu were nowhere to be found. It would be useless for any ordinary martial arts grandmaster to come.
Not to mention those Xiantian and Houtian level cultivators, as well as a few Qi Practitioners with average cultivation.
However, the following conversation of this group of people stunned Su Mu.
The martial arts grandmaster guarding the young man said respectfully,”
“Your Highness, according to our investigation, it’s very likely that the demon is hiding in front of us.”
“Don’t go forward. Let me handle it.”
The handsome young man’s face was solemn, and his brows were tightly knitted. He said worriedly,
“Zhuge Hongtu is the only person I can rely on now. If he was gone…I’m afraid I won’t be able to live for a few days.”
“In this palace, who still cares about me, the Fifth Prince who has no foundation?”
Hearing this, the martial arts grandmaster hurriedly comforted,”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Lord Zhuge’s cultivation is extremely profound and he is a rare expert in this world.”
“Probably…It was just that he was trapped somewhere.”
The martial arts grandmaster himself did not quite believe what he said.
If he was really fine, why hadn’t there been any news for so long?
But no matter what, he wanted to see the corpse.
The dignified Heaven-ranked Demon Slayer could not just disappear like that.
This time, they had mobilized all their forces to find Zhuge Hongtu.
This was the final gamble!
“No, I’ll go with you!”
“If Zhuge Hongtu really dies here, I’ll die with him. I don’t want to die in the hands of my brothers and sisters.”
As he spoke, the young man who called himself the Fifth Prince followed the Demon Slayers.
Seeing this, the Grandmaster sighed.
He silently protected the young man behind him and charged toward the Flying Cloud Temple together.
Little did he know that their conversation had shaken Su Mu’s heart!
..
Although he didn’t have a deep understanding of the Great Qian Imperial Family, Su Mu still knew that the current Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty was once the Fifth Prince.
In other words, the young man who was ready to risk his life in sorrow would become the most honorable emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty in the future!
At the same time, he was also the emperor who pushed Da Qian into the abyss.
