"Um?"
Ning Chuan was taken aback, and only after hearing Yue Hao's further explanation did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
It wasn't that Horse Road Mountain was destroyed.
Previously, when he suppressed many divine sons and holy daughters, Horse Road Mountain was able to remain calm.
Even if exposed, the retaliation from various parties will mainly come from the shadows, and they won't immediately face annihilation!
But things are completely different now.
Yin Xusi, who came representing the royal family, was ruthlessly killed by Ning Chuan!
If the cooperation between the two parties were to be leaked, a royal decree would be issued, Horse Road Mountain would become a meritorious achievement for the Military Department.
Therefore, Horse Road Mountain is already preparing to defect!
"Take it easy; at least it's not all bad."
Ning Chuan thought for a moment, then offered a comforting remark, saying, "Once Horse Road Mountain successfully escapes, our alliance will no longer need to be hidden. I guarantee no descending genius will dare to provoke you."
For him, Horse Road Mountain's defection was actually a good thing, as it allowed the two sides to cooperate further.
"This kind of overlord... is equivalent to me joining forces with the strongest martial artist, making us invincible in the world!"
Yue Hao sighed.
He had no fondness for the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, so leaving wouldn't bother him.
Horse Road Mountain was forcibly incorporated, and its subsequent development was extremely difficult, suffering numerous suppressions.
Even without cooperating with Ning Chuan, it's highly likely that Horse Road Mountain will defect to the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom.
However, the thought of arriving in good health and now, with no end in sight for his journey home, leaving him with no home left, inevitably made Yue Hao feel depressed.
"Regardless of the outcome, judging from the results, he will at least become a regional hegemon, no less powerful than the peerless geniuses of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom!"
Ning Chuan coughed lightly.
He knew that, to a certain extent, Horse Road Mountain's forced defection was inextricably linked to him.
"That's only if I live long enough for a peerless genius to appear!"
Yue Hao shook his head, then rallied his spirits and said in a deep voice, " Horse Road Mountain has also received a summons from the royal family. Soon, I will be joining the Martial Extermination Army. As instructed by the leaders, I will become your spy, gathering intelligence for you and guarding against the Martial Extermination Army's attempts to eliminate you!"
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised, and asked, "A conscription order? The Martial Extermination Army? What are these?"
After killing Yin Xusi, he has been quite busy and hasn't logged onto the internet yet.
Yue Hao pondered for a moment and said, "On the way here, did you notice that the number of divine sons and holy maidens is decreasing?"
"Um."
"Those people have all returned to the Ancient Pilgrimage Path to prevent you from killing them beforehand. At some point in the near future, they will descend together under the command of the Military Department to surround and kill you!"
Yue Hao gave a brief account.
Ning Chuan remained calm; he had long anticipated the attack by the descending geniuses.
Furthermore, they have the capability to resolve this.
"However... as the one retaliating, shouldn't I be in the position of the victim? Can I demand an exorbitant amount of compensation?"
An idea subconsciously surfaced.
Ning Chuan's eyes flickered!
Throughout his life, he has become highly skilled and adept at robbing the rich to benefit himself.
The next moment, Yue Hao's voice interrupted Ning Chuan's thoughts.
"That's about all I know. I only just found out, so my understanding is limited. For more details, you can ask Lan Ge and Sixth Boss; they're looking for you anyway."
Yue Hao shrugged.
"OK."
Seeing Ning Chuan nod, Yue Hao turned on his communicator, dialed a signal, and quickly contacted the two leaders of Horse Road Mountain.
Buzz!
A surge of light projected the figures of Mo Lan and Chu Longye, who stood together, giving the impression of Beauty and the Beast.
However, neither of them spoke, silently staring at Ning Chuan.
Didn't you say you needed to talk to me?
Ning Chuan coughed and said.
"To kill a member of the royal family, and in broad daylight no less! You've got guts, kid!"
Chu Longye gave a forced smile, grinding his teeth until sparks flew, and said indignantly, "If you ever enter the Universe, I'll hang you up and give you a good beating!"
Originally, I just wanted to find a reliable ally for the divine son of Horse Road Mountain, so that he would not be bullied by other descended geniuses.
What happened was actually quite good!
Indeed, no one was bullying Yue Hao.
But the cost is truly quite high!
My hometown is gone!
We must leave our homes and hometowns!
Horse Road Mountain defected from the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, and he certainly couldn't take the Ancient Life Gu Xing he possessed with him, so he's already looking for a commercial company to sell it.
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow and said, "I will definitely leave Martial Star, perhaps soon. However, we are all at the General-Bestowing level, so it's hard to say who will win in a real fight."
"You hit me?!"
Chu Longye's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but roar, "I am a genuine Upper Three Realms expert, having existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and have fought and killed several Upper Three Realms powerhouses!"
He and Ning Chuan were indeed both at the rank of General-Bestowing, and many busybodies had already begun discussing what title to give Ning Chuan.
However, the General-Bestowing represents the level with the largest gap between different realms.
From the most outstanding geniuses in the Earth Realm to the weaker Demigod, all belong to the General-Bestowing category.
This is unlike what you'd expect from King and Marquis; they're mostly Demigod who possess Second-Grade Law and First-Grade Law.
"It's the Nebula Realm!"
Ning Chuan, speaking calmly and patiently, pointed out. "The lowest level among the Upper Three Realms."
In fact, he wasn't bragging.
If he were to face Chu Longye now, he would inevitably be utterly defeated.
After all, the difference in their levels of understanding is undeniable.
He was still a step away from the Great River Realm, and a full five major realms away from the Nebula Realm!
However, as long as one obtains the Spirit of Law Comprehension First-Grade Law, it won't be long before one can fight against those in the Upper Three Realms!
"OK!"
Chu Long reluctantly agreed, set a time, and said, "I'll give you a hundred... ten years to grow!"
He spoke on the spur of the moment, not daring to set a date for a hundred years.
Because, if a hundred years really passes, he feels it will be difficult to take over Ning Chuan!
"Stop fooling around!"
Mo Lan shook her head, interrupting the two who were arguing, and then turned to Ning Chuan, sighing, "You must already know about Horse Road Mountain's defection to the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom."
"The root of this matter isn't you, but you are certainly involved to some extent; you could be considered the trigger."
Mo Lan recounted the story calmly, without a hint of complaint.
The cooperation between the two parties was voluntary, so encountering danger is perfectly normal.
Mo Lan earnestly pleaded, "If possible, please find a Divine Art Divine Art as soon as possible. Only by auctioning it off can Horse Road Mountain make connections; otherwise, countless lives will be lost on their escape route!"
In the Universe, martial arts techniques used by King and Marquis and nobles are not uncommon.
However, higher-level Divine Art are extremely valuable, no less so than the Spirit of Law Comprehension First-Grade Law.
Martial Seal that can be passed down multiple times are especially terrifyingly powerful!
Just like Horse Road Mountain, of the seven existing leaders, only she and the eldest brother each possess a Divine Art.
The other five leaders had never practiced cultivation.
Unless one is like Chu Longye, willing to pay any price, gamble everything, and mortgage hundreds of thousands of years of the future, one cannot obtain even one such skill.
"I've obtained the Divine Art."
Looking at the two leaders of Horse Road Mountain, Ning Chuan did not hide anything and truthfully replied, "There are two schools in total, plus a hundred other King and Marquis arts techniques, forming a complete assassination technique."
"Um?!"
"Um?!"
