140: Tomb of the Void Emperor

The intelligence brought by Wu Shouyi could be described as a bolt from the blue.

Originally, it was thought that the power accumulated by the Great Zhou over so many years would, even if not enough to reclaim eight or ten Great Cities, at least be sufficient to hold the existing ones; unexpectedly, three cities fell in succession.

After inquiring, Xu Le learned that the Sharp Blade had insight into the monster's plan to attack the cities and had blocked them with all their might at the Ninth City. They held out for three days and three nights, but without waiting for reinforcements, almost all of them died in battle, leaving only a handful of survivors, incapable of making a difference.

The reinforcements from the Great Zhou and the Aristocratic Families arrived a day late and were forced to retreat to the Eighth City. Consequently, the Seventh City was besieged, and by the time they arrived in force at the Seventh City, they discovered that the ones besieging the Great City were only low-level monsters.

The Eighth City lacked experts and suffered a sneak attack from the God Descent Cult; with enemies inside and out, it was breached in less than ten minutes, and after half a day, the entire city was decimated.

The Seventh City was a head-on collision; the Great Wall Guard Army died to the last person, and the entire city held out for seven days before eventually being breached.

Xu Le felt his head buzzing as he listened; it was almost like listening to a story.

The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness finally grasped a flaw.

"Impossible!"

"There are Teleportation Arrays in all the Great Cities. How could the Sharp Blade not have received reinforcements after holding out for three days?"

Wu Shouyi sighed, "It is precisely because of the Teleportation Array. If there were no Teleportation Array, the Ninth City could probably have held out for ten days, allowing the Eighth and Seventh Cities to complete the deployment of their forbidden formations."

Boom! Another bolt of thunder!

Xu Le widened his eyes, feeling that he had read between the lines, yet he could not believe it.

The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness continued to refute, "Even more impossible! According to the first article of the Great Zhou Iron Law: The monarch dies for the state, the city lord dies for the city walls. Without the city lord's order, no one can activate the Teleportation Array."

"Pfft!" Wu Shouyi said, full of sarcasm, "What if someone ordered him to leave first?"

"When monsters attack a city, the city lord has the right of immediate decision. Who has the authority..."

Halfway through his sentence, the Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness suddenly stopped.

Besides the Emperor, who could order a city lord to retreat?

Otherwise, if they abandoned the city and fled, even if the city lord escaped, they would inevitably be beheaded in public and their name would stink for ten thousand years.

"Someone was thinking of weakening the strength of the Aristocratic Families and the Sharp Blade, but they didn't expect the Sharp Blade to be foolish, while the Aristocratic Families were not; they all abandoned the city and fled."

"If not for this, how could monsters that have been silent for many years launch a massive attack on the Great Cities?"

"Hahaha... Seeing small profits and forgetting their lives, cherishing their bodies while doing great things; even if they return to Blue Star, they can only watch helplessly as their beautiful homeland is torn apart and destroyed."

"Surrounded by sycophants and cowards, even if I am alive, I feel disgusted, disgusted!"

Wu Shouyi cried and cursed, appearing quite crazed. It had a hint of "pitying their misfortune and raging at their lack of ambition."

"Therefore, we must go back even more!" The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness waved his sleeve, his eyes firm, "Since some people are not worthy of living on Blue Star, then send them to the Void Realm."

"We are all loyal and righteous people. If we couldn't return to Blue Star, so be it, but since we can return, why hide here cursing and shedding tears?"

"I have 72 Disciples, all of whom possess top-tier strength in the Void Realm. If we return to Blue Star, who could resist us?"

"When the time comes, we will eliminate the monsters, build a city of our own, take in the people of the world who have been failed, and unite as one. We can live better ourselves while supporting the rest of the Human Race. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Xu Le was somewhat moved, but Wu Shouyi remained hesitant.

The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness had long seen through everything and patted his chest, promising, "Rest assured, I will not actively overthrow the Great Zhou Imperial Family; I will even keep far away."

"My Disciples and I can crush most monsters, but we are somewhat powerless against the Great Zhou Human Race. If a 'Void Banishment' is thrown at us, we will be sent right back."

Xu Le nodded; this was the biggest weakness of Void Creatures.

Only then did Wu Shouyi nod and agree.

A cold glint flashed in Xu Le's eyes.

The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness needed to avoid the Human Race, but he had not been transformed into a Void Creature. As long as the Void aura on his body was cleansed, he could do whatever he wanted and take the revenge that needed to be taken.

The lives lost in the three Great Cities must be accounted for by someone!

Seeing that both of them had agreed, the Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness laughed heartily and asked the Ox Person to invite his two old friends.

...Two days later.

Two white-haired old men came over.

One was burly, with a leopard-like head and round eyes, and a firm expression; his profession was an SSS-rank Prison-Suppressing Divine General.

One carried a peach wood sword on his back, with high brow bones, prominent cheekbones, and sharp eyes; his profession was an SSS-rank Talisman Celestial Master.

Both were old men of 130 or 140 years; the former was named Fan Wei, and the latter was named Gong Yuan.

After the Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness introduced them to each other, they were all very happy and wanted to return to Blue Star.

"Sixty years! Finally, there is a chance to go back!" Gong Yuan was filled with emotion; his sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the Void Realm and see the Blue Star on the other side.

Fan Wei remained calm, but his clenched fists showed that he was also very excited.

"Old Zhang, can you tell us now? How exactly do we return to Blue Star?"

The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness smiled, "Do you remember those Space Skills I shared with you?"

"Of course, do those Skills have something to do with us returning to Blue Star?"

The two old men looked at each other, seemingly never having thought about that possibility.

"More or less!"

"Time is supreme, and Space is king. I have explored the Void Realm for countless years and finally discovered a tomb!"

"I have named it the Tomb of the Void Emperor!"

"The Space Skills I learned were learned from there; there must be even more profound Space Skills inside that we can learn to get out."

"Unfortunately, opening the tomb requires one main formation person and four people who possess Space Skills."

"Although my Disciples can maintain a human form, they are not human after all. Only we, as pure humans, can open the tomb."

"Do you know what this means?"

Before the four of them could answer, he directly announced the answer, "This means that the Void Emperor was also of the Human Race, the same as us, but a Human Race from a different plane."

Gong Yuan shook his head, "Impossible. Before the Cataclysm, our spacecraft had landed on the Moon, Mars, and other planets, and found no trace of human activity."

The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness chuckled, "Did our spacecraft ever discover the Void Realm?"

Everyone: "..."

Xu Le couldn't help but feel a little excited; if the Void Emperor came from a different plane, was it possible for him to return to Earth?

Wu Shouyi raised his hand, "I don't know any Space Skills."

Xu Le originally thought he would have to wait another year, but unexpectedly, the Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness directly took out a Skill book and handed it over.

It was the "Space Lock" Skill!

"If there are no problems, we will set off tomorrow to head to the Tomb of the Void Emperor?"

"Fine!" Everyone agreed.

...The next day.

A huge Teleportation Array was set up in the Void Realm, with the Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness waiting on the side with his seventy-two Disciples.

Two waves of spatial fluctuations arrived, and Fan Wei and Gong Yuan teleported over with their belongings.

The Great Teacher of Supreme Goodness cast a spell, and everyone's eyes went dark; when they opened them again, they had already appeared in front of a giant tomb.
