Xin Long's sudden change stunned all the people in the surroundings. Even the twenty or so Divine Kings who had come to stop Ming Dong with Xin Long were clearly stunned.
With Xin Long's previous attitude and expression, anyone could tell with a single glance that he was targeting Ming Dong. Many people were already prepared to watch a good show.
However, they never thought that the result would be so surprising. Xin Long actually turned around and left without saying anything.
Wasn't his actions announcing to everyone that he wasn't going to stop Ming Dong? And when he left, he even clasped his fist towards Ming Dong in a friendly manner.
Who was Xin Long? Not only was he a supreme Godking on the Godkings' Throne, but his background was rather great as well. In the eyes of many people, Xin Long was an unreachable existence that they could only look up to, yet now, he had become frightened from Ming Dong's threat. Everyone found this unbelievable.
Xin Long's fear caused the expressions of the supreme Godkings who stopped Ming Dong to change slightly. They all studied Ming Dong as they became surprised and doubtful.
Cang Ying, Bai Yi, and Gong Zheng, who had already gathered together, all had very ugly expressions. Xin Long had completely disregarded his dignity as a supreme Divine King just because of Ming Dong's threat. They could all tell just how terrifying Xin Long's fear of Ming Dong was.
"Xin Long's ranking on the Divine King's throne is quite high. He's extremely powerful, yet he doesn't dare to offend Ming Dong. Just who is this Ming Dong?" Bai Yi growled.
Cang Ying and Gong Zheng both shook their heads. Ming Dong's name had always been unknown. It was only recently that it had gradually spread through the Cang Poseidon Palace. They knew nothing about his identity and background.
At this moment, a few more of the twenty or so supreme Divine Kings in Ming Dong's way received a message. As a result, all of their faces changed without exception. A smear of shock appeared in their eyes. They were greatly surprised. They looked deeply at Ming Dong and the five divine generals behind him before clasping their fists and leaving together.
With that, only a dozen or so of the twenty or so Divine Kings in Ming Dong's way remained.
However, the dozen or so Divine Kings all looked at each other. Hesitation appeared on their faces, as if they were stuck in a dilemma. Clearly, they had also realised that Ming Dong's identity was not to be underestimated. Otherwise, he would not have made so many supreme Divine Kings fear him.
At the same time, another dozen or so Divine Kings arrived at the entrance to the eighth floor of the Cang Poseidon Palace from the seventh floor.
A young man and a young woman walked at the very front of the group. The other Divine Kings followed behind them like guards.
"Junior Mu 'er, you have to be careful on the eighth floor. Whether it's the volcanoes or the lava below, they're all extraordinary. They're extremely terrifying. Even the supreme Divine Kings of the Divine Kings need to be careful here …" The handsome young man with the extraordinary bearing at the very front looked at the veiled woman beside him gently. His voice was gentle and filled with undisguised admiration.
The two of them were Jun Kong and Shangguan Mu 'er, who had hurried over from the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound on the Skyfire Plane. The Divine Kings behind them were all disciples of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound.
Shangguan Mu 'er hovered in the air as she stared at the world of volcanoes with her enchanting eyes. Her face hidden beneath the veil actually showed some emotion at that moment.
"He's been here before …" Shangguan Mu 'er thought. As soon as she set foot on the eighth floor, she experienced a profound and wondrous feeling. She could sense that Jianchen had been here before, which caused ripples to appear in her cold, emotionless heart. She felt extremely excited.
Jun Kong did not sense the subtle changes in Shangguan Mu 'er. He said leisurely, "The main reason why we've come to the Cang Poseidon Palace this time is to go to the twelfth floor and find a way to awaken the Artifact Spirit of the Zither of the Demonic Cry. As a result, we don't need to stop for too long along the way. Let's directly go to the twelfth floor. Junior Mu' er, you don't have any objections, right?"
"You go to the twelfth floor first. I want to take a look around here," said Shangguan Mu 'er. With that, she left by herself. She began to search for Jianchen with a throbbing heart.
"Junior Mu 'er, be careful. It's very dangerous here …" Jun Kong immediately chased after her. Deep concern filled his face as he said gently, "Since junior Mu' er wants to take a look around here, I'll accompany you. Although this space is filled with danger, where the volcanoes can erupt at any time, you don't have to worry too much with me by your side."
As they spoke, they had already arrived ten thousand kilometres away. However, at this moment, Jun Kong's eyes suddenly narrowed. He stared ahead and immediately became stern. He said sternly, "So many powerful presences. Strange, why are there so many Divine Kings gathered up there? And there are quite a few Divine Kings as well."
Jun Kong's expression changed a few times before he suddenly stopped Shangguan Mu 'er. He said sternly, "Junior Mu' er, stay here and don't move. I'll go take a look and see what's going on there for so many Divine Kings to gather together."
Jun Kong got over a dozen Divine Kings from the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound to protect Shangguan Mu 'er while he flew off by himself, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Very soon, Jun Kong arrived in the region where all the Divine Kings had gathered. As soon as he arrived, he just happened to see Ming Dong facing off against over a dozen Divine Kings, which made Jun Kong shiver inside.
"Many of the Divine Kings are stronger than me, but they clearly don't possess enough presence against the six of them. As a matter of fact, they don't give off any presence at all. Who are the six of them? They're actually able to make over a dozen Divine Kings fear them so much. "Jun Kong was greatly shocked when he saw this. He was unable to remain calm.
Afterwards, Jun Kong asked a few Divine Kings nearby about the reason why so many Divine Kings had gathered here.
"It's said that they're all looking for a girl protected by the world, which is why they've all gathered here. It's rumored that whoever obtains the girl will gain control of the Poseidon Palace …"
"In the end, the girl was taken away by a person called Jianchen. Afterwards, when Jianchen fled here with the girl, he was slain by a Divine King. The girl seems to have fallen into the lava as well …"
.....
The Divine Kings answered Jun Kong's questions in a simple manner. Even though they did not possess a lot of information, they were able to give a rough explanation.
However, when Jun Kong heard the name Jianchen, his heart shuddered violently. He immediately asked, "Is this person called Jianchen the young man who comprehended the Laws of the Sword and seemed to be in his twenties?"
"It seems to be him …"
"That's right. It's him. Although I've never seen Jianchen before, I've heard about him. The characteristics you mentioned completely match …"
Jun Kong became overjoyed when he received confirmation. He could not help but laugh aloud. Perhaps there would be many people with the same name in the Saints' World, but it would be impossible for them to come across people with the same name and characteristics. As a result, Jun Kong was basically certain that the Jianchen who had died here was the person his junior sister Mu 'er had admired for a very long time.
"Hahaha, Jianchen, I never thought you'd actually die here. The heavens really are on my side. The heavens really are on my side. I was planning on finding people to kill you on the Cloud Plane after this trip to the Poseidon Palace, but I never thought you'd already die in the Poseidon Palace. It looks like the heavens are on my side. The heavens are helping me and junior sister Mu 'er …" Jun Kong was extremely overjoyed by Jianchen's death. He was so emotional that he lost himself and roared out as if he wanted to vent his emotions.
Jun Kong's voice was not very loud, but the people gathered here were all powerful Godhood experts. They could clearly hear any sound from a thousand kilometres away, so Jun Kong's voice naturally rang out in everyone's ears.
Originally, no one would treat this kind of emotional venting as a big deal, but Jun Kong just happened to mention the extremely sensitive name of Jianchen.
Immediately, all the Divine Kings gathered in the surroundings looked at Jun Kong. All of their expressions were strange, and some of them even looked at him with schadenfreude.
The Divine Kings who answered Jun Kong's question paled in fright. They cursed inside, Of all the people you could curse, you just had to curse Jianchen. Don't you know that as soon as Jianchen died, a vicious person called Ming Dong appeared? He directly hunted down Divine Kings in the Poseidon Palace, directly leading to the deaths of four Divine Kings. If you want to die, don't drag us into it.
