After a while, Chen Mu came out of the inner vault.
He reinforced the passageway constructed with the Formation-Breaking Flag, then notified Han Xiao and Gao Fenghai to come over, pack up the supplies in the inner treasury, and transport them to the rune warship.
" Mingye, can you sense the status of the Stand right now?"
Mingye's puppet body was inhabited by a portion of her spiritual consciousness, so she could vaguely sense the puppet's condition. However, the Supreme Evil Sacred King had previously frozen her puppet, thus severing her senses.
I'll give it a try.
Mingye closed his eyes, concentrated, and quickly established a connection with his substitute.
"I sensed it... My mother has given up the pursuit of the Supreme Evil Sacred King for my sake, but a powerful sword cultivator has stopped her, also wanting to seize the Netherworld Pearl."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu frowned, sensing that things might not be so simple.
"Let's go back to the warship first; I need to see the satellite map."
He leaped into the control room of the rune warship, then his fingers flew across the keyboard, directing the rune satellites to monitor the situation around the world.
On the satellite map, a large crater can be clearly seen in a mountain range, with violent energy fluctuations echoing there. That is the battlefield between the Asura Sacred King and the Supreme Evil Sacred King.
Nearby, the battle energies of Manju Sacred King and Luo Nianhan were equally formidable, though their clashes were relatively less intense.
" Xiaozhi, perform a life signature scan on that mountain range! See if there are any other experts."
The fact that the Manju Sacred King was prevented from leaving gave Chen Mu an ominous feeling. He felt that the Asura Sacred King's intervention was too suspicious, and that his methods were probably more than just these.
The Asura Sacred King has kept a low profile all these years, but his power has grown rapidly. The Asura Imperial Court is even stronger than the Manju Imperial Court.
If the Supreme Evil Sacred King is defeated today, his next move will likely be to deal with the Manju Sacred King.
"Scanning mode activated! Beep... Vital signature analysis in progress, please wait patiently..."
Although the supercomputer Chen Mu created now has very powerful computing capabilities, scanning all living things within a radius of hundreds of kilometers at an altitude of 10,000 meters is still no easy task.
Fortunately, the satellites use purely physical surveying technology, which does not involve Spiritual Power fluctuations and will not be detected by cultivators. Even if it is a little slow, it doesn't matter.
While Xiaozhi was analyzing the data, Chen Mu controlled several other satellites to observe the Manju Imperial Capital. He found that everything was calm and there were no abnormalities.
However, when he turned the camera to Iron Soul City, he discovered something unusual.
" The Undead Tide has started again? Weren't all the undead near Iron Soul City wiped out?!"
A large number of undead gathered Iron Soul City. Although these undead were no threat to Iron Soul City at present, Chen Mu sensed a conspiracy among them.
He immediately mobilized the runic satellites to observe other nearby settlements, and eventually discovered that this necromancy was extraordinary and of an unimaginable scale.
"The number of undead within the territory of the Manju Imperial Court has at least tripled, while there has been no significant change in the Extreme Evil Imperial Court and the Asura Imperial Court. These Lingming targeting the Manju Imperial Court."
Based on this information, Chen Mu has some guesses, but he is not sure yet.
"Beep... Vital signs scan complete."
Seven life forms of Saint Level or higher were detected within this range. Besides the five already known to the master, there was one Saint Level Late Stage human and one Saint Level Peak semi-energy life form. Their location was...
Xiaozhi's investigation confirmed Chen Mu's guess. He immediately shouted to Mingye, "Contact His Majesty immediately! The Asura Sacred King and the Necromancer have joined forces. Tell His Majesty not to linger in battle and to return to the capital immediately!"
"Good!"
Mingye had an almost blind trust in Chen Mu. She immediately closed her eyes, sensed her substitute, and conveyed what Chen Mu said.
Deep in the mountains.
Luo Nianhan truly lived up to his reputation as a peerless genius, a talent that appears only once in a millennium. Even with the full force of the Manju Sacred King, he managed to hold out for nearly half an hour before showing signs of defeat.
The Domain of the Other Shore possessed by the Manju Sacred King is a spiritual domain. Although it is not as sharp and incomparable as Luo Nianhan's Sword Dao Domain, its damage to enemies is more unpredictable and more difficult to defend against.
Clang clang~~ Pfft!
Luo Nianhan, his body covered in blood, supported his sword with one hand. Despite his severe injuries, he refused to fall.
Stubborn to the end!
Seeing that Luo Nianhan was powerless to resist, the Manju Sacred King sighed and did not attack him again.
At this moment, Mingye rushed over and said, "Mother Queen, I just received news that the Asura Sacred King seems to have reached a cooperation agreement with the undead."
This place is no longer safe; we must leave immediately.
Upon hearing this, the Manju Sacred King exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! The undead regard all living beings as food; how could they possibly cooperate with humans?"
"I don't know the specifics either, but the information is absolutely reliable! Mother, let's go!"
"Mingye said anxiously."
A thought struck the Manju Sacred King, and she turned to Luo Nianhan, asking, " Luo Nianhan, how did you know my daughter was here?"
Luo Nianhan was not far from the Manju Sacred King, so he naturally heard their conversation. When he heard the news that the Asura Sacred King was cooperating with the undead, he was stunned.
"It was the Asura Sacred King! He told me."
He replied with a grim expression.
"It seems you've been used. You'd better leave now! If you don't, you won't be able to leave later."
Without further delay, the Manju Sacred King immediately took to the air, intending to open a spatial tunnel to leave.
But at that moment, a vast power swept across the heavens and earth, accompanied by faint chanting and falling petals.
"He's Extreme Evil! He's really dead?!"
At this moment, the Manju Sacred King completely believed Mingye's words. With the Supreme Evil Sacred King's strength, even if the Asura Sacred King and his subordinates fought desperately, they could not kill him.
Only with the intervention of other forces could the Supreme Evil Sacred King be killed in such a short time, and in the entire Netherworld, there are only a handful of powerful individuals capable of intervening in the war of Saint Kings.
With this in mind, the Manju Sacred King exerted all his power to control the surrounding chaotic forces, hoping to accelerate the construction of the space tunnel.
Whoosh! Pfft!
A crimson light flew from afar, rushing into the spatial black hole constructed by the Manju Sacred King, instantly shattering the black hole into pieces.
"High Priest of the Asura Clan! Wu Qianqiu."
The Manju Sacred King recognized the newcomer's identity. When she last saw Wu Qianqiu, she was only at the Mid Saint Level, but judging from her current aura, she had clearly entered the Saint Level Late Stage.
" The Extreme Evil old villain has already been beheaded. My king still wishes to discuss with Your Majesty the matters of jointly governing the world in the future. Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry to leave!"
Wu Qianqiu was stunningly beautiful with a curvaceous figure. Dressed in simple tribal clothing, she possessed a wild beauty.
