Supreme Star Card Master - Chapter 1134 - 916: King
Chapter 1134: Chapter 916: King
In the Kongtong Mountain, relatively close to the Great Wilderness Ridge.
In a certain wide hall, birds were singing and swallows were dancing, with many scantily clad beauties dancing below.
And above, there were two extremely extraordinary people.
The one on the main seat to the left had a relatively long face but still looked handsome, enjoying the service of two beautiful maids by his side.
He was precisely the Demon King of Kongtong Mountain—the Horse King.
And the other person on the guest seat, with a golden crown and golden brows, looked upright and heroic but with a bit of coldness, emanating authority without anger, was the Da Peng King from the Ten Thousand Mountains!
Da Peng King slowly said, “The new-born Dragon Vein is indeed exceptionally mysterious, almost guaranteed to produce a King Level. Now that Bai Ze is enjoying the Dragon Vein alone, it won’t be long before he becomes a king.”
The Horse King also smacked his lips, sighing, “I didn’t expect Bai Ze to find such a guardian expert who could kill Hua Tiandu of the True Yang Sect and others.”
Although the Horse King was also a King Level, before becoming a king, his combat power was not necessarily stronger than Hua Tiandu and the rest.
Those long-existing Dragon-level Spiritual Lands had profound yet scattered pulse patterns, giving everyone a chance to break through to King Level. It depended on who broke through first, like Qin Xiangyang of the Black Wind Domain back then.
However, these newly born Dragon Veins, just emerging and exposed, required enough Talent and conditions to be met for a sure breakthrough to King Level; hence the competition was incomparably fierce!
Da Peng King slowly said, “I haven’t heard of the sword cultivator before; he must be a person from the East Continent like Bai Ze. However, in any case, this is a good thing for us.”
The Horse King nodded, “Not only did it repay Kong Zheng’s favor, but it also formed some goodwill with Bai Ze. The Ten Sects also lost quite a few experts.
But it seems… the Ten Great Sects are really a bit too eager. With the Dragon Vein initially appearing, many experts have already suffered casualties.”
Da Peng King said, “After all, opportunities are limited. With one less Dragon Vein, there’s one less opportunity… Hm?”
Suddenly, Da Peng King seemed to perceive something, his golden eyes like electricity seemed to penetrate barriers and look into the far distance.
“What is it?” the Horse King asked.
Da Peng King’s eyebrows twitched, “It seems someone is not playing by the rules!”
The Horse King was slightly moved, immediately following Da Peng King’s line of sight and looking into the distance, soon sensing something as well.
“This aura seems somewhat familiar…” The Horse King reflected.
Da Peng King’s eyes flickered with a golden glow, “If I’m not mistaken, it’s the Curse King Wen Yun from Youquan Valley!”
“It’s him? His son is dead, and he has no one with Three Suns left. Why would he come to fight for the Dragon Vein?” the Horse King was puzzled.
Da Peng King deployed Magic to look closely, “No, there’s someone beside him… Huh? That seems to be a disciple of Taishang Sect?”
The Horse King also frowned, “Should we go over there? It’s against the rules for a King Level to take action. If he truly wants to obstruct Bai Ze from becoming king, we also have to step in and deal with it!”
Da Peng King took another closer look, but shook his head, “Even if Wen Yun goes mad, he knows not to break the rules. Otherwise, being the first to break the rules in the Dragon Vein competition and causing conflict escalation, he’s bound to die.”
Saying this, Da Peng King’s expression became more solemn.
“Not mentioning the experts of the Ten Great Sects, if he disrupts Bai Ze’s ascension at this moment, Kong Zheng would definitely come personally… and kill him!”
The Horse King’s heart shivered upon hearing this.
Kong Zheng is definitely not an easy person; he’s exceedingly domineering and exceptionally strong!
“Then, what exactly does Wen Yun intend to do?”
Da Peng King looked thoughtful, as Wen Yun wouldn’t dare touch anyone under the Horse King or his subordinates.
After all, being a guardian, if you strike, it’s also breaking the rules.
Even if there’s a vendetta, it’s impossible to act immediately now.
And in the field, the only distinctive feature is…
“Could it be… aiming at the guy from the East Continent?” Da Peng King pondered.
…
In the Great Wilderness, the movements within the Dragon Vein were becoming increasingly restrained and stable.
Luo Jin, Wang Hu, and all the demons were filled with anticipation, waiting for Bai Ze to break through, at which point Dragon Vein Residue would also dissipate.
In the Three Suns Realm, the accumulation of Star Power was already considerably slow, so any improvement could equate to years of arduous cultivation!
Not far away, Su Yuan and Mu Kexian were also sitting cross-legged, using the Dragon Vein to consolidate their cultivation.
At that moment, Mu Kexian suddenly awoke while sitting cross-legged, clutching her chest and breathing heavily.
“What happened?”
Su Yuan saw Mu Kexian’s pale face, cold sweat flowing, as if she had experienced a nightmare.
Mu Kexian grabbed Su Yuan’s arm, looking ahead, with faint traces of panic in her eyes.
“I don’t know, it feels like something dangerous is approaching!”
Through the slightly cool touch on her arm, Su Yuan could feel Mu Kexian’s unease.
“It seems Wenren Feng’s mentioned ’attack’ has arrived. To elicit such a response from Mu Kexian…” Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, standing up.
In an instant, beside them, Luo Jin, Wang Hu, and others who were cultivating simultaneously opened their eyes and looked towards the distant sky edge.
At the far end of the sky, it suddenly looked like water tainted with oil stains, becoming multicolored.
Within, a bizarre green cloud rapidly approached at an alarming speed, transforming before everyone into a withered old man shrouded in a strange green robe.
Beside him stood a youth, unmistakably Nie Wu of Taishang Sect!
“Boom!!”
As the withered old man stepped onto the ground, the earth cracked, trees shattered, and an immensely horrifying pressure suddenly emanated from his body.
In an instant, Luo Jin, Wang Hu… all the Great Demons in the field felt a suffocating terrifying pressure descend upon them!
“King Level?!”
Everyone, horrified beyond words, looked at the withered old man ahead.
Undoubtedly, this terrifying pressure was absolutely King Level!
But in the Dragon Vein competition, how could a King Level suddenly intervene?
Nie Wu looked at Su Yuan ahead, his eyes brightened, “Curse King, it’s him!”
This withered old man was precisely the Curse King Wen Yun, the King Level father of Wen Jiuhua, who was killed by Su Yuan, Wang Yu, and others on the Ancient Fragment earlier.
Even without Nie Wu’s reminder, as soon as he arrived, the withered old man’s gaze had already fallen on Su Yuan.
Su Yuan instantly felt as if his whole body was being stared at by a poised venomous snake, a chilling sensation permeated every inch of his skin, as if a deadly attack could strike at any moment!
“Hehe…” Wen Yun eyed Su Yuan, a strong cold smile appearing on his face, “Indeed, you were one of the people responsible for Jiuhua’s death. Although the Blood Hunting Seal I planted on Jiuhua was erased, there are still traces left, without a doubt!”
Su Yuan’s face turned ugly as he looked at the Curse King, then at Nie Wu beside him. With his thoughts racing, he had already pieced together most of the situation.
“Nie Wu must have discovered the matter of the Ancient Fragment and brought the Curse King along…”
When the Ancient Fragment appeared, to absorb the Tiger Vein, Su Yuan killed many experts of Taishang Sect.
But those who participated in the struggle were at the Radiant Moon Level, and afterward, Su Yuan had returned directly to the East Continent.
So unless intentional, Taishang Sect wouldn’t truly find him.
Now it seems Nie Wu must have conducted an investigation and subsequently found the Curse King.
Actually, Su Yuan’s deduction was almost accurate.
Nie Wu had been extremely concerned about Mu Kexian. After leaving Qixia Mountain and returning to Taishang Sect, filled with jealousy and hatred, he specifically investigated Su Yuan’s whereabouts.
It wouldn’t have mattered if he had found nothing, but he indeed discovered quite a lot.
At that time, while Su Yuan was absorbing the Tiger Vein on the Ancient Fragment, the disciples of Taishang Sect, Qiankun Sect, Five Directions Temple, and other sects weren’t all killed.
With a thorough investigation, Nie Wu even went to Qiankun Sect for confirmation, finding that Su Yuan was indeed the same person from the previous Ancient Fragment!
But after reporting to the sect, Taishang Sect didn’t react much, as Su Yuan had also helped save Dongfang Yi, Ye Shuying, and others during the Qixia Mountain incident.
All these were part of the Earth Tribulation competition.
Initially quite frustrated, Nie Wu suddenly discovered another notable key figure involved – the son of the Curse King, Wen Jiuhua, who also died on the Ancient Fragment!
Nie Wu immediately headed to Youquan Valley to visit the Curse King!
Since the previous marks were erased by the Sky Patrol Department, the Curse King couldn’t lock onto Su Yuan, Wang Yu, and others.
Initially believing revenge was hopeless, upon hearing from Nie Wu that there was a clue to the culprits, he promptly followed Nie Wu.
Thus, this current scene unfolded.
