Chapter 1143: Revealing the Emperor's Plot
Suddenly, a cloud of mist descended from the top of the palace.
When the cloud descended in front of Sha Kunpeng and Yu Die, sweat uncontrollably poured down like rain, and all the pores on their bodies fiercely contracted.
A sense of danger.
It had been tens of thousands of years since they'd had such a feeling.
In the Yao Realm, they were lofty Yao Divine Generals.
But in front of Emperor Hades, they were nothing more than lowly ants. If Emperor Hades wanted to kill them now, they'd have to fight to the death, and they wouldn't even have a ten percent chance of surviving.
"May I ask what Your Excellency Emperor Hades wants us to do?"
Kneeling on one knee, Sha Pengkun's eyes flickered incessantly. He'd known that reviving his son from Emperor Hades would require a price, but he was more nervous about what exactly Emperor Hades wanted him to do.
From the moment he'd arrived at Emperor Hades' palace, his disciple had personally led the way and brought his son here without them even asking.
From what he could tell, this series of actions meant that the two of them were slowly falling into Emperor Hades's trap.
Especially now that Emperor Hades had landed right in front of them. Sha Pengkun didn't understand. What on earth did Emperor Hades want?
"You …."
This time, Emperor Hades's voice didn't come from every direction of the palace. Instead, it came directly from the mist and entered Sha Pengkun's ears.
"Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet."
"Then Your Excellency …."
Sha Pengkun was even more confused. If he hadn't made up his mind, why had he landed right in front of them?
Could it be that Emperor Hades knew that the yao wanted to deal with him, so he'd landed right next to the two of them to send a warning?
If that was the case, things were going to get troublesome.
In the past hundred years, the yao had split into two factions: the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction. Sha Pengkun and the others belonged to the pro-war faction.
The pro-war faction's main goal was to attack both the human and demon realms. In order to do so, they had to cross the River Styx.
Although Emperor Hades was the Master of the River Styx, his background was actually that of the human race.
He'd stayed here to separate the yao and humans because of the human race's insiders.
For the past hundred years, they had been researching how to deal with Emperor Hades, mainly through his Great Dao and his cultivation techniques.
Over the years, they had gradually come up with some ways to fight against it. They were just waiting for the next step to perfect it.
However, this was the most secretive information within their ranks, and it was impossible for it to be leaked to the public.
Or was there a mole among them?
When he thought of this, Sha Pengkun's expression changed again and again. But right now, he couldn't afford to panic.
"The Sand Divine General doesn't look too good?"
Emperor Hades chuckled from within the clouds. Sha Pengkun immediately cursed under his breath. He had been so worried that news would leak out that he hadn't been able to hide his expression.
With an embarrassed smile, Sha Kunpeng cupped his fists and said.
"I've been a little busy lately, so I'm a little tired. Thank you for your concern, Emperor Hades."
"I see. You demons do have a lot of things to deal with. It's not surprising that the Sand General is exhausted."
As he spoke, the misty Emperor Hades returned to his seat.
Sha Pengkun's eyes widened, and the veins on his neck bulged involuntarily.
What did Emperor Hades mean by this?
Sha Pengkun questioned himself over and over again. He clearly knew everything he'd just said.
Cold sweat instantly soaked his robes. At the same time, Emperor Hades spoke again.
"I advise the Sand Divine General not to seek revenge on the person who killed your son, because you yao cannot cross the River Styx."
In the blink of an eye, the entire hall was reduced to nothingness.
Countless bolts of lightning crackled through the hall. It was as if the end of the world had arrived. Fierce winds howled, and the clouds churned. Sha Pengkun and Yu Die, who were caught in the middle of it all, trembled violently. Their arms trembled uncontrollably.
"When you return to the Yao Realm, tell your old freaks that although I, Pan Jingtian, don't care about worldly affairs, I'm no fool. I know all about their shady dealings. If you really want to cross the River Styx, go find the Eastern Monarch Taiyi and meet me at my palace! "
As soon as he finished speaking, the howling winds reached Sha Pengkun and the others. By the time they came to their senses, they were already out of the River Styx.
"Emperor Hades knows?"
Yu Die frowned as she stood on the banks of the River Styx. Sha Pengkun's brows were also furrowed. After a long while, he glanced at Yu Die and said, "Take Ming 'er back to the clan and reconstruct his body.
I'm going to pay a visit to the Yao Realm's sacred land. "
"You're …" Yu Die's expression shifted, but to her surprise, Sha Pengkun forcefully shook his head and clenched his fists. "I'm just going to pass on the message. If possible … … I want to withdraw."
As a Yao Divine General, Sha Pengkun was naturally no weakling.
However, Emperor Hades's warning and the unfathomable strength he'd revealed forced Sha Pengkun to reconsider his organization's plan. Was it really that feasible?
Not just for him, but for the clan behind him as well.
He had to think things over carefully.
"Master, Sha Pengkun and the others have already left."
The young man who had brought Sha Kun Peng into Hades Emperor's temporary imperial residence walked in. He'd gone out to check on Sha Pengkun and his wife.
As soon as they left the River Styx, he'd immediately returned to report.
"Of course they have to leave. Do you really think they can attack my palace with just the two of them?"
By now, the clouds around Emperor Hades had already dispersed. It was hard to imagine that this supreme expert, Emperor Hades, was actually a fair-skinned youth.
Judging from his appearance, he was probably no more than fifteen years old.
However, his blue eyes contained an incomprehensible sense of vicissitudes.
He was dressed in long purple robes, and his waist-length hair casually fell to his shoulders. His fair fingers clutched a teacup, and his other hand held an ancient tome as he silently read it.
"The two of them naturally wouldn't dare attack Master's palace, but since you've pointed it out so bluntly, aren't you afraid that they … …" The youth hesitated.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Emperor Hades chuckled and tossed the tome onto the long table in front of his chair. He stretched lazily, a faint look of disdain in his eyes. "They've been very restless lately. I'm afraid they already know that my true body has been trapped by the Dao Heart, and that I've lost less than a tenth of my strength. But without the Eastern Monarch Taiyi, crossing the River Styx is nothing more than a pipe dream. I want to tell them and make them fearful. Who knows, it might even buy my true body some time. "
"How do you know that the Eastern Monarch Taiyi isn't involved?"
The youth furrowed his brows. The way he saw it, his master was being a little too arrogant. He clearly knew that the yao were preparing to deal with him, yet he hadn't made any arrangements. Instead, he'd taken the initiative to point it out.
This was really too dangerous.
"Him … … I know him."
Emperor Hades sighed softly. Although he didn't explain much, his indifferent tone was filled with indescribable certainty.
Just as Emperor Hades was about to pick up the tome again, he seemed to think of something else and spoke to the youth.
