"You're saying that this dwarf is your direct descendant and the true master of the Yun Nation? In other words … "
What the dull voice said was actually a very simple reasoning, but the conclusion of the reasoning was really shocking. Even with Wang Lu's vast experience and knowledge, his thoughts were somewhat stuck at this point.
"In other words, you're the founding ancestor of the Yun Nation, the ancestor of the royal family? Then the Yun Nation is actually not a simple mortal country. Oh, this is also very normal. There are indeed many great cultivators in the world who have no hope of breaking through. When their lifespans are about to run out and they see that their bloodline is unable to inherit the path of cultivation, they leave their sects and establish a regime in the mortal world. As long as they don't strongly interfere with the operation of the mortal world and don't abuse immortal techniques, generally, no one will stop them … Then, this ugly dwarf is your direct descendant, but now he intends to destroy the people of the Yun Nation. This is probably because he suffered some grievances in the past and is bent on taking revenge on society, right? Hmm, this is also reasonable. There is no harm in making a bold guess. Perhaps this dwarf is the ruler of the Yun Nation in accordance with the laws and regulations. Unfortunately, his deformed dwarf origin made him inferior to his brothers of the same generation. Thus, he suffered a crushing defeat in the palace coup and was even persecuted. Then, he luckily did not die, resulting in today's scene. "
Wang Lu slowly voiced out his guess. The unconscious dwarf in mid-air suddenly quivered and regained consciousness. He sneered a few times and said, "That's right, your guess is completely correct. If I wasn't born with a disability, the throne of the Yun Nation would have long been mine! In terms of poetry, literature, politics, and practical management, I'm far better than my useless younger brother in any of them! But just because he was born with a good appearance, he suppressed me in every aspect. In the end, he even broke my legs and forced me out of the palace. A dignified prince of the Yun Nation had to struggle to survive like a beggar! "
Wang Lu said, "But now that you're a cultivator at the peak of the King Pill, why are you so fixated on the gains and losses of the past?"
"That's right, a change in strength will bring about a change in outlook. Before I was lucky enough to have a fortuitous encounter, I cherished every blade of grass and every tree in the Yun Nation because they were all treasures that belonged to me! However, after I set foot on the path of immortality, I realized how childish I was before. Compared to the freedom of cultivation, the little bit of profit that I conspired in the palace was not even worth mentioning. The King of the Yun Nation may look impressive, but in the eyes of Immortal Dao cultivators, the so-called King of the Yun Nation can be killed with a single sword strike. "
Wang Lu asked, "Since you have this awareness, why don't you let go of the past?"
"Let go of the past? Do you know what supported me to survive in my darkest moments of despair? Do you know what supported me through the endless pain and torture when I first refined the Corpse Bug and used my own blood essence to nurture the Death Qi? Do you know what made my Primordial Spirit condense and not disperse when I failed to break through to the King Pill and almost vanished into thin air!? "
Wang Lu sighed. "Hatred?"
"That's right, it's hatred! After I cultivated the necromancy spell, my vitality continued to weaken and dissipate. I learned it without a teacher and purely cultivated with an incomplete book left by a predecessor. I don't know how many times I suffered Qi deviation and almost vanished into thin air. It was the obsession in my Primordial Spirit that supported me to continue. When I succeeded in the Foundation Establishment stage, I could change my meridians and cleanse my marrow. When I achieved the King Pill, I was reborn. However, I never replaced this ugly body of mine because I wanted to constantly remind myself that hatred is my source! I kept telling myself that everything I did now was to destroy everything that the usurper had one day. From the moment I was driven out of the palace, I never forgot my hatred for a day! And if I want revenge, the best way is to destroy this country. Although my brother is mediocre, he loves the Yun Nation as much as I did in the past. Therefore, as long as I destroy the Yun Nation in front of him, I can let him experience my pain! "
"Oh, this is also a reason. However, the target of your hatred is only your younger brother — he is most likely dead now. At most, it will implicate his children. However, you are venting your anger on the entire Yun Nation. The innocent people of the Yun Nation have nothing to do with your palace grievances."
The midget laughed. "Nothing to do with it? Everything under the heavens belongs to the king. The entire Yun Nation belongs to me. How I want to deal with it is all my freedom! As long as I can make the people I hate suffer, why should I care about other details? "
It was enough for Wang Lu to ask this much. In fact, he had no interest in the midget's grievances and hatred. He induced him to talk about these things for others to hear.
Wang Lu turned his head and asked the oppressive voice that suppressed everything, "Senior, you heard it. This direct descendant has admitted everything. If you want to clean up the house, you don't have to care about me. Just do it directly."
With that, Wang Lu sighed, thinking, "Fortunately, I, a professional, am calm and composed, fearless in the face of danger. Otherwise, if I were to be impulsive and fight with this big killing machine head-on, even if I had ten lives, it wouldn't be enough to die." The difficulty of this immortal dream land was really against the heaven's will. A little bit of carelessness could cost one's life. Fortunately, I am the one who pioneered it. If it were someone else, they would most likely die here. Fortunately, the crisis had passed. This founding head of state who inexplicably woke up in the royal tomb was not an unreasonable devil. As long as he was willing to be reasonable, he would not be in any danger. Next, as long as he personally cleaned up the house, this ring should be over, right?
However, just as Wang Lu felt relieved, he heard the founding head of state in the royal tomb sneer. The laughter was like a sharp blade, stabbing Wang Lu's whole body in pain and causing his Jade Mansion to tremble.
"Clean up the house? What a joke! Why would I want to clean up my direct descendant? A genius descendant who could cultivate to the peak of the King Pill all by himself? "
Wang Lu was startled, and the expression on his face gradually stiffened. However, he still said, "Well, if you really like him, then do as you please. Abolish the current King Yunyang and replace him with this ruthless dwarf, destroying the national destiny that the Cloud Country has accumulated for thousands of years … is also your freedom."
"National destiny?" That voice was even colder, "Openly disobeying the rules that I set thousands of years ago and putting a usurper on the throne, the national destiny of this country should have been cursed! Now, I'm afraid the royal bloodline has withered! "
Wang Lu was surprised. What exactly was the position of the founding head of state of the Cloud Country? Did he still have a sense of right and wrong? How could he actually stand on the side of the dwarf!? Moreover, he actually left a curse in his own bloodline? However, in King Yunyang's generation, only he and Princess Yunyue were left. This was indeed a bit strange. In an ordinary country, the royal family would only worry about the increasing population. If this was a curse left in the bloodline, it was reasonable.
However, at this point, Wang Lu suddenly felt that he had nothing else to do.
What could he do next? Are you rebelling? Immediately cooperate with the founding head of state and the ruthless dwarf to destroy the entire Cloud Country, and then kill King Yunyang and Princess Yunyue?
I'm afraid this is not a good idea.
But apart from this, what reason did he have to stand on the side of King Yunyang?
From a moral point of view, King Yunyang was not a moral person. The massacre in Fog Spring Mountain was stopped, but hundreds of people were still killed. Not to mention that when King Yunyang's murderous intent arose, this sin could not be erased. From a legal point of view, King Yunyang's throne was not rightfully obtained. Although the root of the mistake was King Yunyang's father and even his ancestors, it was only right and proper for a son to pay his father's debt.
Finally, from a strength point of view, King Yunyang was just a mortal. His opponent was a Peak Gold Core Stage cultivator and a senior old demon whose realm was unfathomable. There was no comparison at all.
All in all, the best choice right now seemed to be to leave and let go of everything. However, it was also difficult for Wang Lu to accept this negative attitude.
While hesitating, Wang Lu suddenly glanced at the ancient monument in front of the royal tomb, and his eyes narrowed.
He saw that above the huge ancient monument, a large piece of the simple and heavy stone monument was disintegrated by a strong corrosive venom. The venom flowed down along the surface, corroding many of the ancient characters and patterns engraved on the ancient monument.
"So that's how it is …"
Wang Lu felt a flash of inspiration in his mind and vaguely guessed the direction of the current plot.
This ancient monument, which was built at the same time as the Cloud Country, was probably not just a simple monument. Even the characters and patterns on the surface of the ancient monument were not for decorative purposes, but they were indeed useful. It was just that, after a long time, the significance of this ancient monument had been forgotten.
Not surprisingly, the role of this ancient monument was not to suppress the fate of the country, but to suppress the founding head of the country.
When he fought with the evil cultivator who stood on the ancient monument and released the ghost fire, it ended too quickly. He didn't even give the evil cultivator a chance to change his position before he was directly killed, turning him into a pool of pus.
As a result, the pus corroded the ancient monument, and the dwarf lurked in the royal tomb and caused a lot of damage. In short, the old devil that should not have been released was released.
This was the so-called hidden plot. If his progress was a little bit behind, such as not arriving at the royal tomb in the first place, or not killing the opponent in the first place in the battle, it would not trigger the appearance of the real manipulator behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, once the manipulator behind the scenes appeared, the situation immediately took a turn for the worse. His martial strength, which should have crushed the whole audience, suddenly became vulnerable in front of the founding head of the country. The other party could make him on the verge of collapse with just a roar. The gap in strength was so big that it almost made him desperate.
However, it was precisely because of this that Wang Lu was somewhat enlightened. Since he was invincible, there was no need to use force. There must be some tricks in this round, such as …
Wang Lu cleared his throat. "Senior, the bloodline of the Yun Country's royal family has not withered."
The dwarf sneered. "Such a big royal family only has the father and daughter left. How is that not withered? And that daughter is about to die. "
Wang Lu also sneered. "Yes, it was you who instructed your dog to specially poison her, turning a beautiful young girl into an alien. Unfortunately, she was originally the hope of the royal bloodline, far better than a deformed trash like you! "
"What did you say?"
Wang Lu lowered his voice and said word by word, "You have been hiding in the depths of the royal tomb all these years, and you have not seen Princess Yunyue with your own eyes, right? That child has the aptitude of a heavenly spirit root. "
"What?!"
