Coming of the Villain Boss! Chapter 1294 - The Path Of Apocalypse (17)

Chapter 1294: The Path Of Apocalypse (17)

The roar of a dragon echoed in the air. Everyone looked up.
A black dragon could be seen faintly among the clouds.
Dragons were common in Thousand Mirror World. People who were more powerful were able to subdue a dragon and make it into a personal mount.
But the black dragon…
Someone shouted, “It’s the Long family from Dongyuan Continent.”
Only the Long family from Dongyuan could subdue the black dragon.
Hence, it was obvious who had arrived.
After the black dragon landed, other dragons appeared and went to where the people from Dongyuan were.
Then, the phoenix came.
“The royal family of Congtian came too.”
The powerful people from Congtian Continent and Dongyuan Continent started arriving continuously.
They seemed to have arranged to come on this day.
“Weird… the people from the Xuanzi Continent are all unimportant people. No one from the Rong family and Gao family came.”
“I heard that the people from Xuanzi Continent were the first to notice that something was amiss. Why did they send so few people?”
“The people from Xuanzi Continent have been cowards for the past hundred years. I think that they don’t dare to come.”
“I don’t think so. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse.”
Everyone debated on this topic for some time. Even the important people from the other continents were curious.
How were the people from Xuanzi Continent able to remain so calm when such a huge event occurred?
At this moment, the people from the Rong and Gao families arrived.
The person that came after them was someone from the royal family of Liyang Country.
But…
The person who came was the king of Liyang Country?
Lie Yang Country sent one of their princes. Even if their king came, he wouldn’t show his face.
The highest members of the families and sects didn’t come, either. These people normally watched the situation behind the scenes.
However, the king of Liyang Country came.
“King Dan Jing.” Long Zhenghai went up.
There was only one country in the Xuanzi Continent. Congtian had many countries while Dongyuan was controlled by various sects and families.
“Elder Long,” Dan Jing replied calmly.
Long Zhenghai and Dan Jing greeted each other and exchanged a few words. The other important figures started gathering around them.
After everyone greeted each other, they went to the main topic. “Since everyone is here, let’s talk about the Apocalypse Pagoda.”
“There is no hurry.” Dan Jing rejected the offer. “Advisor Yue Ge hasn’t arrived yet.”
Long Zhenghai gave a forced smile. “I have heard about Advisor Yue Ge. He is a successful young man. However… since King Dan Jing is here, there shouldn’t be a need to wait for Advisor Yue Ge, right?”
Dan Jing looked at Long Zhenghai. “If you all are unwilling to wait, I will not force you, However, I will not be participating in your discussion.”
Long Zhenghai’s heart jumped.
If Yue Ge is not here, Dan Jing will not participate in the discussion?
Dan Jing was not joking. The moment he finished speaking, he walked away from the discussion circle.
Dan Jing walked for some distance before asking the person beside him in a low voice, “Where is Yue Ge?”
“King, the advisor said that they are still a distance away from this place. The earliest they can arrive is tomorrow noon.”
Dan Jing was not worried. He nodded. “Ask Yue Ge to serve the Lord properly. There is no need to hurry.”
“Yes.”
…
At night, the entire Apocalypse Pagoda lit up the plaza like a huge lamp.
Dan Jing sat on a chair and looked at the Apocalypse Pagoda. He was in deep thought.
The people from Congtian had entered the pagoda some time ago, but none of them came out. They discussed and decided to send more people into the pagoda. This time, the people from Congtian and Dongyuan both entered the pagoda.
Some people from Xuanzi wanted to participate, but Dan Jing rejected the offer.
If someone really wanted to go, he wouldn’t stop them.
He looked at the people that were preparing to enter the pagoda. He sneered.
They had no idea what danger lay ahead of them.
Just as the people got ready to enter the pagoda, the light on the pagoda started shining.
Everyone got a shock.
Some people had been staying here for quite a while, but they never saw such a scene.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know. Why is it shining?”
“Did the people from Congtian do something inside?”
The light on the Apocalypse Pagoda shone a few times.
Then, the pagoda turned dark. The pagoda seemed to have retracted its golden light.
Before anyone could react, the golden light on the pagoda appeared again and lit up the plaza.
“Look!”
Someone shouted.
Everyone looked over. A few black figures were lying at the bottom of the Apocalypse Pagoda.
They looked liked humans.
They were below the pagoda so the light was not able to reach them. Hence, no one could ascertain whether they were in danger.
Everyone was on their guard. The Apocalypse Pagoda showed no reaction for so many days.
They hesitated. Everyone observed the black figures and realized that they were not moving.
They moved over carefully. To their astonishment, they saw that these black figures were lifeless bodies.
They belonged to the people from Congtian who entered the pagoda a few days ago.
There were eight people in total. All of them died in different ways, but they all had a terrible death. No one knew what happened inside.
“Eight of them are dead… did the Apocalypse Pagoda shine eight times just now?”
“I didn’t count…”
“I think that it shone eight times… how many people went in? There must be more than eight people. Are the rest alive?”
Congtian gave them the exact number.
14 people went in.
Eight were dead.
There were six left.
Because of this, those people that wanted to enter the pagoda changed their minds.
…
A horse carriage moved slowly on the small path far away from the Apocalypse Pagoda.
Yue Ge rode on a white lion at the front. Xiu Huan and the others flew closely behind the horse carriage.
A spirit crane flew toward them. Yue Ge raised his hand and caught it.
After a while, he let the spirit crane go.
Yue Ge turned and looked at the horse carriage. His silver eyes were calm. They were like dead pools under the moonlight.
After some time, he retracted his gaze and continued moving forward.
In the horse carriage, Qi Yu lay on Ming Shu’s legs and played with her hair.
He grabbed a strand of hair and looked at Ming Shu’s hand. “You can fly. Why did you use such a slow method of transportation?”
“Why should I arrive so quickly?” Ming Shu pulled her hair back. “Am I supposed to go early and stop them from seeking death? Do I look so free?”
Qi Yu thought a moment. This was something she would do.
Ming Shu took some fruits from the side. She took two bites and passed it to Qi Yu.
Qi Yu took a bite.
“Sih…”
His entire face screwed up.
So sour!
Ming Shu smiled and stuffed the fruit in his hand. “This is for you.”
Qi Yu: “…”
For me?!
Is this edible?
I am not doing this anymore!
Let me go back!
Qi Yu held the fruit and ate it pitifully. It was so sour, tears started forming in his eyes.
A finger rubbed his eyes. “Why are you crying?”
“I am not crying!” Qi Yu exploded in anger. “It’s just too sour!”
He hugged Ming Shu and straightened his back. He kissed Ming Shu.
Try it!
Try it!
Is this something for humans to eat?
Even a kiss can’t make it sweeter!
I’m so angry I could die!
