Volume 1 Chapter 716 The Crisis of the War Palace
This sentence stopped the Nangong Clan's footsteps. The two clans looked at each other face to face, their expressions unfriendly.
"As long as you are willing to take out the Spectral Steps, we will share it with you. Forget about this matter. Otherwise, our Nangong Clan will not let it go." The old man of the Nangong Clan said ruthlessly.
"Senior, I didn't get the Ghost Steps." Although Dongfang Xue was unwilling to admit it, this was the truth.
"Nonsense, I clearly saw it …" "Young Master Nangong, there are no Spectral Steps inside. I can swear." Dongfang Xue looked serious. The old man from the Dongfang Clan was also confused at this moment, so wouldn't he have come in vain?
"Zhan Wang Fu, if you don't have it with you, then Zhan Wang Fu must have it." Nangong Ming reacted and said.
After saying that, the two families arrived at the Combat King's Mansion together. Kong Yun saw this and wrinkled his face. He knew that his troubles were coming.
Kong Yun respectfully bowed to the people from the two great clans. "May I know what advice you have here?" Kong Yun's expression was extremely calm, and he wasn't scared by this formation at all.
"Hand over the Spirit Steps or we won't be polite." Nangong Ming's words instantly aroused Kong Yun's anger.
"Don't say that I don't have the Ghost Steps. Even if I do, I won't give them to you. Hmph." Kong Yun acted as if he wasn't trying to trick him.
When the two old men saw this scene, their faces revealed expressions of unwillingness.
"I think you guys are too stupid. This is the War Palace, under the leadership of the Emperor. Are you being arrogant here to openly go against the Emperor?" Kong Yun looked at him seriously.
These words instantly dumbfounded the people of the two clans. This was the strength of the Emperor. This way, they would openly challenge the Emperor. No matter who it was, there was only a path to death.
The old man's expression was extremely ugly. They hadn't expected that they wouldn't put these small cities in their eyes at all. However, no one dared to touch the majesty of the Emperor.
Look at me, look at you. There's nothing you can do with Kong Yun. "Junior, you'd better not lie. Otherwise, you'll be unlucky. Hmph." At this moment, the Nangong Clan left. Dongfang Xue looked at Kong Yun and asked, "I wonder if our cooperation is still worth it."
"Of course, I will do my best to help you." Kong Yun smiled slightly, but there was something wrong with his smile. After all, Dongfang Xue had brought people here this time, which showed her attitude.
Kong Yun knew that this trial was over, but what should he do next? They wouldn't let him off. Although they couldn't openly do it, no one could tell in secret.
That night, Kong Yun began to cultivate the Spectral Steps in the evil secret room of the Combat King's Mansion. This set of steps was extremely ingenious. Although there was no power of laws here, this set of cultivation methods used the characteristics of this world to create it. Cultivation methods were extremely difficult. The previous Combat King had already completed the first layer of this set of cultivation methods, which showed how difficult it was to cultivate this set of cultivation methods.
Kong Yun used his momentum to control the Combat King in his final attack. Then, he picked up the ring on the Combat King's hand as fast as he could and put the other spatial ring on the Combat King's hand. This was the reason why the Combat King was unwilling to accept this.
Although it seemed simple, in such a short period of time, it was still impossible for others to discover it after finishing so many things. This was a very difficult task, and Kong Yun had already reached this stage with great difficulty.
Kong Yun entered seclusion. This way, he could not only avoid the entertainment given to large clans in War King City, but also avoid the attacks of the Dongfang Clan and the Nangong Clan. He could kill two birds with one stone.
Time flew by quickly. Ten days had passed in an instant. Kong Yun had already comprehended some of the superficial features of the Spectral Steps, but these superficial features could double his combat strength.
"Boss, Miss Dongfang has been waiting for you here for a long time. Can't you see?" The thief whispered outside the secret room, afraid that he would disturb Kong Yun.
The secret rooms were opened and Kong Yun walked out. The thief could feel that his boss had become stronger again.
"May I know what Miss Dongfang is looking for?" Kong Yun wore a smile on his face, giving people the feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.
"I'm here to tell you about the main city."
After Dongfang Xue's introduction, the main city was divided into five great clans: Dongfang, Nangong, Beiming, Ximen, and Xuanyuan. The Xuanyuan Clan held the throne that no one could compare to, but the position of City Lord of the main city was to choose one of the four great clans to inherit it. The City Lord of the main city was a position above ten thousand people, which was very important. It was related to the development of his family for many years.
Since Dongfang had already failed to choose a City Lord for five terms, if he still could not choose this time, then his own clan's influence would be pulled apart by other clans. To the clans, this was a fatal matter. Therefore, the Dongfang Clan had taken a fancy to him this time. No matter what, they had to ascend to this position.
"I wonder what I can do for you?" Kong Yun began to wonder what he could do to help them.
"Each of our clans has a team. This team is made up of the City Lord. Whichever team is stronger means that our clan is strong. Normally, the Combat King is not qualified to participate. However, after seeing your strength, I have decided to let you participate in this competition." The Dongfang Clan still had a proud expression on their face. This was what kind of pride was in their bones.
It cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. Kong Yun didn't care about these things, what he cared about was his reward.
"Don't worry this time. If you help me win this match, I will agree to your previous conditions." Kong Yun nodded in agreement.
After that, Dongfang Xue told Kong Yun some rules and left the Combat King's Mansion at the start of the tournament. Kong Yun knew in his heart that Dongfang Xue had another important reason for looking for him-the Spirit Steps. Kong Yun laughed in his heart. Since that's the case, let's play.
The next few days passed very smoothly. No one came to disturb Kong Yun. Kong Yun was cultivating in the War Palace. In the blink of an eye, it was time to set off. Kong Yun picked up some things and drove towards the main city.
This time, Kong Yun rushed on his own without anyone accompanying him. Originally, the thief wanted to follow Kong Yun to the main city, but Kong Yun rejected him. Kong Yun's trip to the main city this time was extremely dangerous. He was not greedy for his own treasures.
There was still half a month left before the start of the competition. There was plenty of time. Kong Yun chose to hurry so early in order to cultivate the Spectral Steps on the road, find out the problems in practice, and then improve his strength.
Just as Kong Yun was immersed in his cultivation, an unkind voice sounded. "Stop! Don't you know that this is Black Cloud Stronghold's territory?" Kong Yun was confused. How could he not know what this was?
"What do you do?" Kong Yun began to ask. This sentence confused the bandits, "You actually don't know what we do. We are bandits, robbing here." Kong Yun suddenly understood. He nodded and continued on his journey.
"We're robbers, don't you pay?" This was the first time the bandits had seen such a person.
"I'm poor." Kong Yun was extremely embarrassed. He had forgotten to bring the money when he came out this time.
"You, someone, kill him." Kong Yun's expression suddenly became serious. In a flash, he arrived in front of the person who gave the order and grabbed his neck. "What did you say?" The bandit's face turned green from being pinched. He held Kong Yun's hand with both hands, wanting to take Kong Yun's hand away, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it.
"Let go of our boss, otherwise our boss will not let you go." Kong Yun's gaze scared the bandit.
Since you are bandits, you must have killed quite a few people. Since that's the case, I'll go to Black Cloud Stronghold to help the people. Kong Yun flashed a few times and all the bandits here died.
Black Cloud Stronghold
The head of Black Cloud Stronghold, Black Cloud, was holding a girl in his arms and kissing her. Below was a group of dancing girls. These girls were very young. They were all bought by Black Cloud at his own expense, and some of them were robbed by him. Black Cloud enjoyed this kind of day very much, hugging and hugging each other, enjoying a life full of wine and wine.
A subordinate hurriedly ran in and said, "The big boss's situation is not good. A youth walked into our stronghold and killed whoever he saw. He didn't even ask why, and his methods were cruel." Hearing this, the Great Master's expression instantly changed. For the sake of his own life, Heiyun rarely offended awesome people. He chose to attack people without any background or strength. Why would anyone kill him today?
Heiyun brought his subordinates to the door and watched Kong Yun move his clever footsteps. He took a person's life with a single punch without showing the slightest bit of mercy.
Heiyun's face turned green when he saw this scene. He knew that this person was not a good person. "Brother, what are you doing? Does my Black Cloud Stronghold offend you? If that's the case, we are willing to compensate you." Heiyun's attitude was extremely respectful. Although his subordinates were extremely shocked, his subordinates were all smart people. Naturally, he knew that this person was someone he could not afford to offend.
"What I want is very simple. It's your lives. Hmph." Kong Yun started his actions again, continuously slaughtering.
When Black Cloud saw this, he said, "Brothers, let's go together. There's still hope for survival. Otherwise, we'll just wait to die." After Heiyun finished saying those words, he did not move, and his subordinates began to charge desperately.
