348: An old friend from a million years ago will not ignore
The moment this thought appeared in her mind,
even Wu Lingyu herself was startled.
She even felt that her own idea was a bit too terrifying, too absurd!
The terrifying strength Kong Wudao had just displayed...
was about the same as the Kong Wudao in her memories during his peak.
Even if Kong Wudao's strength had improved during this period,
the speed of that improvement couldn't possibly be enough to completely overturn her understanding.
Yet, everything Kong Wudao had just said forced her to overthrow her own speculations.
If the person appearing here wasn't the real Kong Wudao,
it was hard to imagine... just how terrifying his true strength would be?
Rumble!!
And just at this moment,
deep within the sky-filling dust, a brilliant and vast light of runes suddenly boiled and gathered.
One dazzling light portal after another was opened, as if completely connecting to another world.
Vaguely, one could even sense the vast power of Qi and blood permeating from the depths of the light portals.
It seemed as if some powerful beings were about to descend here through these portals.
And at some unknown time,
Li Hanye, who had been sent flying by Kong Wudao's palm, had already soared into the air, his black hair dancing, hovering before the numerous light portals like a lord of all living beings.
Kong Wudao raised an eyebrow.
Presumably, the worlds connected by the light portals opened by Li Hanye
were likely the worlds where the beings he had successfully contracted resided, right?
So he was planning to summon his contracted beings, intending to fight with numbers?
But Kong Wudao didn't care.
In his eyes, Li Hanye was nothing more than prey to be hunted.
The greatest value of prey was to provide him with more amusement before death.
"I will definitely make you pay the price!"
Li Hanye growled.
He had been in this world through Transmigration for over twenty years.
He had also contracted quite a few powerful and special beings.
There were even several powerful Dragon Clan members at the Supreme Realm.
Once he summoned them all,
he would be able to easily kill top-tier Supreme Realm experts!
Although this would bring him a huge overload,
at this moment, he was completely blinded by shame, anger, and hatred, wanting only to make Kong Wudao pay the price.
But before he could make a move,
an Emperor Realm expert suddenly intervened, their terrifying Emperor aura suppressing Li Hanye's aura.
"Hanye, calm down!"
As they spoke, this Emperor Realm expert cast a wary glance in the direction of Wu Lingyu: "Do not offend Lady Lingyu because of this matter!"
Once these words were spoken,
Wu Lingyu, who had been watching the show on the sidelines the whole time, was suddenly bewildered.
But soon, she came to her senses.
She had been wondering, these two Undying Emperor Clans experts had even dispatched Emperor Realm powerhouses to hunt down Kong Wudao.
Yet now, their own top descendant was being rubbed into the ground by Kong Wudao right in front of them,
and they were "good-tempered" enough to just watch from the sidelines instead of directly suppressing Kong Wudao.
So it turned out they had mistaken her for someone who came to stand up for Kong Wudao.
Adhering to the mindset of a bystander, Wu Lingyu immediately wanted to speak up to distance herself from Kong Wudao.
But Kong Wudao on the side seemed to have expected this, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.
With a light laugh, he turned to Wu Lingyu: "Lingyu, we are, after all, old acquaintances from a million years ago."
"Now that I've encountered a little trouble, given our friendship, you wouldn't just stand by and watch, would you?"
"After all, you wouldn't want this matter to blow up, causing you to indirectly shoulder that terrifying Karma, right?"
Once these words were spoken,
the space immediately fell into a dead silence, as if even the Laws had stopped flowing.
To the people of the two Undying Emperor Clans, Kong Wudao's statement made things look truly ominous.
Kong Wudao was not the king of some slave race.
He was an old acquaintance of Wu Lingyu, the first successor of the Netherworld Kingdom!
Especially the four words "a million years ago," which clearly indicated that Kong Wudao was most likely some ancient Prodigy!
Or even an ancient almighty who had cultivated through Reincarnation!
But in Wu Lingyu's ears,
Kong Wudao's words were completely a threat.
It could practically be said that he was holding a knife to her throat, forcing her onto his pirate ship, and binding her completely to him!
The other party's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
As long as something happened to him,
the experts and armies of the Space-Time Forbidden Zone would descend.
At that time, a super war would erupt across the Myriad Domains of the Heavens and the entire Extraterritorial Land.
Given Kong Wudao's character of always holding grudges,
even if she didn't intervene in this matter,
the Netherworld Kingdom would suffer an unprovoked disaster and would very likely be the first to be struck by the Space-Time Forbidden Zone.
"You..."
Wu Lingyu's chest heaved with anger, she bit her lip, and her beautiful eyes glared fixedly at Kong Wudao, her pupils filled with grievance and fury.
That look was practically wanting to tear Kong Wudao to pieces on the spot.
This guy was indeed as sinister and despicable as ever!
After taking a few deep breaths,
she finally managed to barely suppress the anger in her heart.
In the end, helpless, she had to force a "gentle" smile to the corners of her mouth.
"Mm-hmm!"
"You are my old friend from a million years ago, after all. As your old friend, how could I just stand by and watch?"
Wu Lingyu suppressed the urge to hit someone, making her tone sound as gentle and sincere as possible.
Even though in Kong Wudao's eyes, Wu Lingyu was already on the verge of grinding her teeth.
But the people of the two Undying Emperor Clans didn't think so.
Her words undoubtedly confirmed the relationship with Kong Wudao!
Kong Wudao was truly a top-tier figure from a million years ago.
He even carried immense Karma on his back.
It might even involve the future rise of their entire Heavenly Domain!
If they were to continue seeking revenge on Kong Wudao,
not to mention having to face the entire Netherworld Kingdom,
they would even suffer extremely terrifying Karma backlash.
Under such great deterrence,
the experts of the two Undying Emperor Clans felt as if they had been drenched from head to toe with a basin of cold water.
Their previous anger and killing intent vanished instantly, and their expressions suddenly turned pale.
"L-Lord..."
The leading Emperor Realm expert even forced a smile and bowed to Kong Wudao.
"All of this must be a misunderstanding... We are willing to bury the hatchet with you, Lord..."
"What!?"
But Li Hanye, hearing these words, was completely dumbfounded.
He was also completely unwilling to accept this result.
His fiancée's life or death was uncertain, and she was still in a coma.
Now, the enemy who harmed his fiancée was right in front of him.
Not only could they not take revenge,
but they even had to actively concede to let this matter pass.
How could he accept this?
"Bury the hatchet?"
Kong Wudao's mouth curled into an arc.
He looked at Li Hanye not far away with a playful gaze.
Even though he didn't say anything,
the expression Li Hanye revealed already exposed the hatred deep within his heart.
"The culprit who harmed Xi'er is right before my eyes..."
Li Hanye's hateful gaze stared fixedly at Kong Wudao, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces with his eyes.
"He must... pay the price for this!"
