33: Chapter 33 You're That Stray Dog

"Brother Cheng, what do you mean by that?"

King Li Ye frowned and asked upon hearing his younger brother's words.

Zhu Yuankong and the others also felt that something was strange after hearing this.

"Literally what I said, of course."

Li Cheng's smile gradually turned cold and sinister.

"If the Disciples of Yuanxu Mountain were to die here, it would surely be quite interesting."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Yuankong and the others instantly became vigilant.

"Brother Cheng, what are you trying to do?"

King Li Ye questioned him with a stern expression.

"What am I trying to do? I naturally want to become the King of the Great Yan Dynasty and lead it to become even stronger, rather than letting a useless person like you cause its decline."

Li Cheng looked at King Li Ye with disdain and said.

"Guards!"

For a moment, King Li Ye felt that Li Cheng had gone mad to say such rebellious things.

"Stop shouting. The palace is filled with my people now."

Li Cheng said coldly.

He had already replaced all the palace guards with his own men.

Today was destined to be a turning point for the Great Yan Dynasty; he would lead it to greater strength instead of being a dog for a Sect.

"It seems you have been planning for this day for a long time."

King Li Ye's expression gradually turned grim.

He hadn't noticed anything all this time; his younger brother really had clever methods.

"Disciples of Yuanxu Mountain, you shall stay here forever."

Li Cheng's gaze then fell upon Lin Ming and the others.

"Division Revered Master Meng, seize this man."

King Li Ye then looked at Division Master Meng Ran and spoke to him.

"Yes."

Division Master Meng Ran's figure vanished from where he stood.

As the Revered Master of the Demon Suppression Division, he certainly wouldn't allow Li Cheng to act recklessly.

But at the moment Division Master Meng Ran moved, a man behind Li Cheng moved simultaneously.

He directly blocked Division Master Meng Ran's path and took the initiative to attack.

Two afterimages collided rapidly.

This caused Division Master Meng Ran to become increasingly shocked as they fought; this person's strength was actually not inferior to his own.

Boom...

A sinister aura erupted from the man's hand.

After exchanging a blow with him, Division Master Meng Ran quickly pulled back to create distance.

"A demonic cultivator!"

Division Master Meng Ran's expression changed.

There was no mistake; the person before him was a demonic cultivator.

"Brother Cheng, you are actually collaborating with demonic cultivators?!"

King Li Ye's face also changed drastically.

Not only did his younger brother want to usurp the throne, but he had also aligned himself with demonic cultivators.

"Demonic cultivators? As long as I can achieve my ideals, what does it matter if I collaborate with them?"

Li Cheng laughed loudly.

As long as he could achieve his goal, he didn't care whether they were demonic cultivators or not.

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the Great Hall became tense.

"Don't forget your promise."

Li Cheng said suddenly.

"Of course we won't forget."

A man exuding a cold and gloomy aura suddenly appeared in the Great Hall.

His gaze swept over Lin Ming and the others, finally fixing on Lin Ming.

"So you are the Disciple of that wretched woman, Yun Hua."

Ku Ming said.

"And which defeated foe of my Revered Master are you?"

Lin Ming looked at him and spoke bluntly.

Usually, those who spoke with such a tone were basically people who had been thrashed by his Revered Master.

"Hahahaha..."

Ku Ming laughed.

"Disciple of that wretched woman, I hope you can still say such things in a moment."

A cold aura then surged from Ku Ming, sweeping toward Lin Ming and the others.

Everyone instinctively took a step back.

Just then, an old man appeared.

"Old Ancestor."

Seeing the old man appear, King Li Ye's expression greatly steadied.

He was the strongest expert of the Great Yan Dynasty and an ancestor-level figure of the Great Yan Royal Family, True Monarch Gu Yan.

A blazing aura radiated from True Monarch Gu Yan, suppressing the cold energy.

"You have some skill."

Ku Ming said coldly.

Immediately after, the surrounding Origin Qi began to surge violently, sweeping toward Lin Ming and the others like waves.

True Monarch Gu Yan countered with the same method.

Boom...

The Great Hall collapsed.

The clash between experts at the True Monarch of the Other Shore level was more than the Great Hall could withstand, causing it to collapse instantly.

Lin Ming and the others rushed out of the collapsing Great Hall, remaining unharmed.

"Is everyone alright?"

Zhu Yuankong asked the group.

"We're fine."

Everyone's attention remained on the battle in the sky.

A battle between True Monarch of the Other Shore level experts was a Domain they simply couldn't touch.

"With the Old Ancestor here, it will be fine."

King Li Ye said in a low voice.

Fine?

Not necessarily.

Lin Ming looked at the fight in the sky.

From the techniques the demonic cultivator used, he had a faint inkling of the other's origin.

"You should worry about yourselves instead."

Li Cheng appeared in their sight once again.

He wouldn't let any of them escape; not a single one would get away.

"Prepare for battle."

Zhu Yuankong said with extreme calmness.

As things stood, they had no choice but to fight.

However, he also knew that their side wasn't the main battlefield; the fight above was what would determine the outcome.

Bang...

Suddenly, a figure fell from the sky, landing in front of Lin Ming and the others.

"Old Ancestor!"

King Li Ye looked at this scene in horror.

"Just an old fogey at Other Shore Level 6."

Ku Ming slowly descended from the sky and spoke with disdain as he watched True Monarch Gu Yan struggle to stand up from the ground.

This old man was unremarkable except for his somewhat interesting Cultivation Technique.

"You all leave first."

True Monarch Gu Yan said gravely.

The opponent's strength was clearly beyond his expectations; he might not be a match for this fellow.

"Want to leave? Do you think you can?"

Ku Ming said.

If he let these people escape even now, then his years of cultivation would have been for nothing.

"What do we do?"

Zhu Yuankong and the others gradually began to panic.

They had no way to deal with a demonic cultivator at the True Monarch of the Other Shore level.

Were they really going to wait here for death?

Senior Brother, do you have a way?

Su Lianxue's gaze fell upon Lin Ming.

In this situation, if there truly was no other way, she would have to play her trump card.

But she also subconsciously looked at Lin Ming.

However, she quickly dismissed the thought.

The strength of this demonic cultivator was very likely at the high stages of the Other Shore realm.

No matter how monstrous her Senior Brother's cultivation talent was, it was unlikely he could reach the high stages of the Other Shore realm at his age.

She was truly overthinking it.

Yet she noticed Lin Ming's extremely calm demeanor, unlike the others who more or less showed expressions of panic.

Could it be that her Senior Brother had some means left behind by their Revered Master?

"I remember now, you must be that stray dog."
