"So that means you already knew that Extreme Evil would go to the Underworld Temple to kidnap you?"
"Since you knew about this, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let me join your plan?"
The Manju Sacred King looked at Mingye, a hint of displeasure on his face.
"I..."
Mingye's eyes flickered; he didn't know how to explain.
"Your Majesty, please don't blame Mingye; it was all my idea."
Fortunately, Chen Mu spoke up at that moment.
Chen Mu tapped a few times on the light-screen keyboard, handing over the warship's controller to the artificial intelligence. He then stood up and looked at the Manju Sacred King.
"Your Majesty, in terms of cultivation, I am inferior to you."
However, in terms of territorial management, any minor official in my Chen Kingdom would probably be more capable than you.
"His Majesty has been in court for many years; I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on your problems."
Chen Mu did not want to offend the majesty of the Manju Sacred King, but sometimes the truth is like that—it's not pleasant to hear.
" Chen Mu, you're not allowed to speak to my mother like that!"
Mingye was immediately displeased and stormed up to Chen Mu, her eyes fierce.
The Manju Sacred King was initially somewhat dissatisfied, but Mingye's anger, he instead laughed.
"Alright! I'm not that petty, Ye'er, sit down first."
She smiled and pulled Mingye to sit down beside her before saying to Chen Mu, "I understand what you mean. You think my approach to things is too weak, which is why I've always been suppressed by the other two Holy Kings, right?"
"Yes! Your Majesty is indeed impeccable in terms of character, but governing a country and commanding an army is not child's play. When necessary, one must make choices, and in Your Majesty, I see no decisiveness whatsoever that an excellent leader should possess."
The problem with the Manju Sacred King is actually quite obvious: she is too kind, to the point of being pedantic.
If she knew Chen Mu's plan, she would definitely try to minimize casualties among her men, but that would obviously put the plan at greater risk of being exposed.
"I understand! But I still hope that you'll discuss this with me beforehand next time you do something like this."
In fact, this wasn't the first time she had heard Chen Mu say those words; even when the Nether Great Emperor was alive, he had criticized her in the same way.
But she was a plant who cultivated into a human, and by nature she disliked fighting, so she couldn't change that.
If it weren't for the Nether Great Emperor's instructions, she would have long ago hidden away in the deep mountains and forests, living a carefree life. She wouldn't care about her current position as Holy King.
"Alright! Anyway, our only enemy now is the Asura Imperial Court."
I've just observed that the undead from all over the world are gathering within the territory of the Manju Imperial Court. The only one capable of this is probably the legendary Undead Supreme."
Chen Mu nodded and changed the subject.
The so-called Undead Supreme is the strongest among the undead. There have been nine Undead Supreme in the history of the Netherworld, but each time Undead Supreme appeared, he would be killed by the three Holy Kings working together, which is why the Netherworld was able to enjoy so many years of peace.
"Cooperating with the undead is like asking a tiger for its skin; this Asura is truly insane!"
The Manju Sacred King had just sensed that among those surrounding her were undead beings who had reached the Saint Level Peak, and she now completely trusted Chen Mu.
"Now that the Extreme Evil is dead, and I am no longer strong enough."
If the Asura Clan and the undead join forces, it would indeed be a huge problem.
She frowned and said with concern.
The Asura Imperial Court has always been stronger than the Manju Imperial Court, and now that it has defeated the Supreme Evil Sacred King, she feels she has no chance of winning if the undead are also helped.
"By the way! Your Majesty, my cultivation level is too low, so I don't know much about matters concerning your level."
I'd like to ask, with the immense power of the Supreme Evil Sacred King, is he really dead now?
Chen Mu suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, the Manju Sacred King paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Judging from the strange phenomenon that just occurred, the true form of the Extreme Evil has indeed been destroyed. He probably only has his inner world left now."
While it's true that Saint Level cultivator has a chance to be reborn if their inner world remains intact, that requires a very long time. The Asura would certainly not give him that opportunity and would definitely try to destroy his inner world.
"Your Majesty, if the Asura Sacred King and the Undead Supreme join forces, approximately how long would it take them to destroy the Inner World of the Supreme Evil Sacred King?"
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously.
"Even with their Extreme Evil strength, and with their full power, plus the aid of some treasures, it would still take them at least... two hours."
"Two or three hours?!"
Chen Mu's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and returned to the driver's seat, taking control back from Xiaozhi.
" Chen Mu, do you intend to... seize the inner world of Extreme Evil?"
Looking at the direction Chen Mu was flying, the Manju Sacred King quickly deduced Chen Mu's intentions and exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right! The Asura Sacred King was in such a hurry to kill you that he definitely didn't have time to take away the Inner World of the Supreme Evil Sacred King. This is our good opportunity."
Chen Mu had witnessed Chu Xuanzi's death firsthand and knew that when Saint Level cultivator's true body was first destroyed, their inner world would be extremely violent. At this time, it was relatively easy to destroy them, but very difficult to take them away.
Since the inner world of the Supreme Evil Sacred King could not be destroyed in a short time, he thought that the Asura Sacred King must have abandoned it in place and would deal with it together after killing the Manju Sacred King.
"Alright! Then I'll lend you a hand too."
Manju Sacred King quickly realized that if they could rescue the Supreme Evil Sacred King, their chances of winning against the Asura Sacred King would be much greater. She immediately took action to help Chen Mu.
Boom! Whoosh!
The Manju Sacred King's method of assisting in travel was simple: he opened short-distance teleportation channels ahead, allowing the warships to reach their destination at a faster speed.
Soon, Chen Mu piloted the rune warship to the location where the Supreme Evil Sacred King was killed, and there he indeed saw a deep black hole that was constantly shrinking and collapsing.
"Let me collect it!"
Fearing that the power of Sacred King Level might bring unnecessary losses, the Manju Sacred King took the initiative to fly out of the hatch and head towards the black hole.
Boom! Pfft!
In the hands of the Manju Sacred King, this constantly shrinking celestial body was like a toy, allowing her to knead it at will.
After a while, the inner world of the Supreme Evil Sacred King transformed into a black bead, radiating a soft glow, which she then put into her sleeve.
"Let's go back to the palace!"
It's certainly a good thing that the Asura Sacred King isn't here, but it also indicates something else: that the Asura Sacred King is doing something even more important.
For the Asura Sacred King, the most important thing now is nothing other than to kill the Manju Sacred King.
Now that he has lost track of the Manju Sacred King, where will he look for her?
The most likely explanation is that they went to the Manju Imperial Palace.
If they had returned any later, the Manju Imperial Palace would probably have been reduced to ruins.
