Chapter 516: Capture the Thief First!
These words pierced Jun’s ears, and his face turned as cold as ice. In this moment, both Margaret and Luza couldn’t help but shudder.
Jun asked in a chilly voice, “Do you know the whereabouts of the people from the Chester Ancient Clan?”
Luza immediately replied, “I have been away for years, so I don’t know their exact location.”
Jun said coldly, “Then how do you know that the survivors of the Chester Ancient Clan are on the Island of the Five Emperors?”
Luza answered, “Many people with the surname Ancient Clan are on the Island of the Five Emperors, and even some members of ancient Western families are here, serving as slaves!”
Jun questioned, “Is there a registry of these unfortunate people in White Emperor City?”
Luza replied, “It might be in the Lord’s Manor, and the registry should contain detailed information about those individuals.”
Jun said in a cold tone, “Lead the way.”
Luza hesitated for a moment and nervously said, “The place I will take you to is a villa in the Lord’s Manor. I used to stay there when I came back before.”
Jun said icily, “I want to go to the Lord’s Manor.”
Luza suggested, “If you go to the Lord’s Manor to kill, it will definitely alert the people in the Five Emperors City. By then, you might not be able to save yourself.”
At this point, Luza added, “I can promise you that after arranging you in the villa of the Lord’s Manor, I will find the location of the population registry of White Emperor City and secretly take you there to have a look before tomorrow morning.”
Jun squinted at Luza and coldly said, “Do you think I will believe you?”
Luza gathered his courage and said, “You have no other choice but to trust me.”
To his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Jun suddenly pointed at Luza’s chest.
Under the pressure from Jun, Luza involuntarily coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
As Jun retracted his hand, Luza widened his eyes in disbelief and asked, “How did you… how did you know that I have Blood Pellets inside me?”
Margaret, standing beside them, looked bewildered, unable to comprehend why Luza would say such things.
Jun sneered and said, “Tricks like these Blood Pellets on the Island of the Five Emperors are nothing compared to the methods of the Temple of the Gods back in the day. They use the Blood Pellets as leverage, making you all willingly obey, or else you will die from the poison.”
Luza couldn’t help but shudder. He never expected that Jun would even notice this detail.
In the next moment, Luza secretly tried to adjust his breath but discovered that the toxins of the Blood Pellets not only remained but had become more cruel, rapidly circulating through his meridians.
At the same time, Luza suddenly noticed a black line on his wrist.
Jun said coldly, “Now, even if you obtain the antidote you had before, it won’t temporarily save your life. On the contrary, it will accelerate your time to death.”
Trembling, Luza’s voice quivered as he asked, “So what?”
Once again, Jun extended his finger and pointed at Luza’s chest.
Splat!
Luza once again spewed out a mouthful of black blood.
But at the same time, the black line on her wrist had become much lighter in color. Jun squinted at Luza, his voice icy.
“I can make you die, and naturally, I can let you live!”
Luza’s face turned pale.
“Understood.”
Jun’s expression remained emotionless.
“I’ll give you three hours. If we can’t find the location of the White Emperor City population registry after three hours, I will take your life!”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Luza clenched his teeth and asked.
“And if we find it?”
Jun smiled.
“Then I will let you live well.”
Upon hearing these words, Luza showed no signs of surprise because he felt that Jun’s smile was terrifying.
However…
Luza had no other choice but to clasp his hands and bow.
“Yes.”
Immediately, without saying much, Luza led Jun and Margaret to a villa in Lord’s Manor.
After entering, Luza quickly led the two into a courtyard.
The yard was quiet.
Luza respectfully said to Jun,
“This is where I reside. I will change my clothes first and then go to Lord’s Manor for investigation.”
Jun didn’t say anything.
His eyes scanned the surroundings.
This residence also had an ancient charm to it.
Luza didn’t say anything more either. Like a white cat, he disappeared from the spot and entered a room.
Not even a minute later, Luza reappeared in front of Jun wearing a brand new robe.
He said,
“If you’re worried, you can accompany me, but we need to disguise ourselves as Metalwalkers.”
Jun replied coldly,
“No need.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Luza’s eyes, but he didn’t say anything more.
He immediately disappeared and headed towards Lord’s Manor.
Just as Luza had left, Jun instructed Margaret.
“You stay here.”
Margaret was astonished.
“What about you?”
Jun replied calmly,
“I am familiar with the map of the Island of the Five Emperors, so I’m going to the Five Emperors City. If anything dangerous happens to you within the next three hours, use the sound of the Tracing Zither as a signal. I can hear it!”
Margaret widened her eyes in surprise.
“How do you know about the map of the Island of the Five Emperors?”
Jun didn’t bother to explain anything else to Margaret. He disappeared from the spot directly.
There was no other reason.
Since he already knew that the survivor of the Chester Ancient Clan was on the Island of the Five Emperors, he couldn’t waste a single second!
If possible…
Jun would naturally capture the thief first!
Meanwhile…
In the Five Emperors City, about six hundred miles away from White Emperor City.
An exquisite Imperial City sat in the center of the city.
The central hall within the Imperial City was inscribed with three large characters.
Taiji Hall!
Inside the hall, a beautiful woman dressed in a phoenix robe seemed to be dealing with official matters.
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she flipped through a document.
It was unclear what she read, but suddenly, she slammed the document on the table and said coldly.
“Spread the word to Clive Hampton!”
An old woman in a long robe beside her immediately vanished and headed towards the palace’s exit.
The beautiful woman’s eyes glinted with coldness as she gritted her teeth.
“Clive, that old dog from the Chester Ancient Clan, truly lives up to his reputation. For all these years, he’s been deceiving me and engaging in such treacherous activities!”
A red-robed elderly man standing nearby asked a question.
“What’s the matter?”
The beautiful woman replied icily.
“During these years, he hid all the remnants of the Chester Ancient Clan in the mansion! If it weren’t for Shannon from White Emperor City secretly investigating, I wouldn’t have known I had been kept in the dark for so long!”
The red-robed old man, however, showed no signs of surprise. Instead, he chuckled and asked another question.
“That woman, Shannon, used to be a Kunlun Slave. After her ascension a hundred years ago, she didn’t hesitate to engage in treacherous activities. Moreover, her specialty lies in making deals. If she’s reporting such important information to you, did she mention any conditions?”
The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes and said coldly.
“She wants to move out and go to Mount Emei. Furthermore, she has dispatched a spy named Luza to persuade the other side to go to Emei and kill Woodwalker, Waterwalker, Firewalker, and Earthwalker. She wants to establish her own kingdom!”
The red-robed old man stroked his chin and smiled.
“Emei has a Dragon Vein, but it’s not as good as our place. If she wants to go, it’s not impossible. However, after she leaves, will Noelle, trapped under Emei’s Dragon-Trapping Well, want to stay there too?”
The beautiful woman spoke coldly.
“She didn’t mention that.”
The red-robed old man asked another question.
“What about Jun, the descendant of the Chester Ancient Clan? He’s even more valuable than Noelle.”
The beautiful woman said.
“She didn’t mention him either.”
The red-robed old man smiled.
“Then let her go. A Kunlun Slave is just a Kunlun Slave. They don’t know what’s good or bad. That Dragon Vein in Emei, they have to work hard to gather its Qi. Noelle and Jun are different. With the ready-made Qi Replenishing Grand Profound Pills, their youth will be preserved, and they will never decline for ten thousand years!”
After some thought, the beautiful woman asked.
“What should I do with Clive then? Should I fry him?”
The red-robed old man shook his head.
“I don’t recommend that. After all, the reason Clive protects the remnants of the Chester Ancient Clan is probably to obtain their ultimate secret, the Infinite Ultimate True Skill. If we suddenly fry him, it could be more trouble than it’s worth.”
The beautiful woman expressed her doubts.
“What should we do then?”
The red-robed old man smiled.
“First, appease him and see if he has obtained what we desire.”
The beautiful woman’s face turned cold.
“How should I appease him?”
The red-robed old man chuckled.
“Naturally, it’s through softness overcoming hardness. You are well aware of this. Didn’t you almost extract something from that little bastard Eric’s mouth a few years ago? Unfortunately, you were tricked by him!”
