Chapter 641 - 641 0416 Destroying the Royal Court (12)_2

Chapter 641: Chapter 0416: Destroying the Royal Court (12)_2 Chapter 641: Chapter 0416: Destroying the Royal Court (12)_2 Originally, the unseen Chi Di Gold Core experts were contemplating whether or not to step forward and align themselves with the Chi Di Royal Court. However, after sensing the aura radiating from Gao Jinmei, they all retreated. They had considered aiding the Royal Court only to reap some benefits, not to risk their lives. They refused to risk their lives for a tiny bit of advantage.

Although those Gold Core experts not aligned with the Royal Court could simply ignore Gao Jinmei, the Right Virtuous King, East Court King, and South Palace King who were hurrying towards the Royal Court couldn’t. If this powerful aura carrying a hostile intention were to enter the Royal Court, not only could it potentially disrupt the Netherworld Fierce Fire Formation, the Heavenly Khan wouldn’t let them off the hook either. At that time, they wouldn’t gain anything and would instead suffer immense losses. Helplessly, the three Princes could only lead their Personal Guards to counterattack Gao Jinmei.

The ones who sensed Gao Jinmei’s aura were not just the Right Virtuous King and his colleagues, even the Heavenly Khan did too. His face turned solemn as he stared in Gao Jinmei’s direction and ordered: “Wolf Guards, set up the array.”

The Heavenly Khan had cultivated eighteen Wolf Guards in total. Earlier, to bolster the patrolling strength of the Left Virtuous Kings and Right Virtuous Kings and to keep an eye on them, he had dispatched three Wolf Guards to each of their sides. Now, only six Wolf Guards remained by his side. However, aside from the Wolf Guards, there were also dozens of Wolf Guard reserves. Even though they hadn’t reached the Half-step Golden Core realm yet, there was no room for hesitation in the current situation. All Wolf Guards and reserves were mobilized to set up a large array around the Royal Court, serving as the last line of defense against Gao Jinmei.

While the Wolf Guards were acting, the Heavenly Khan gave a strict order for the Array Masters to speed up their formation. They must complete the Isolation Array before Gao Jinmei arrives, then activate it. Once the array is activated, nothing can stop it. At that point, they can at least burn Qi Tian to death, eliminating this major threat. Of course, if circumstances allowed, the Heavenly Khan would ideally want to burn Qi Tian half to death, thereby acquiring all of Qi Tian’s fortunes and secrets.

Just when it seemed that the Wolf Guards were about to complete the formation, Deng Chuanliang, who had been ambushed near the Royal Court for a period of time, rushed out. He didn’t charge at the Wolf Guards but at the Array Masters who were setting up the formation. Only by preventing them from successfully setting up the Isolation Array would the Heavenly Khan hesitate to order the activation of the Netherworld Fierce Fire Formation, thus buying Qi Tian some time to break out.

Before Deng Chuanliang had even made his move, a powerful aura surged out from the depths of the Royal Court. The long-dormant Gold Core Third Level Bodar Khan finally made his move. He was considered an old Ancestor of the Chi Di Royal Court, ranking even higher than the Heavenly Khan’s grandfather. The Heavenly Khan had to call him ‘Magistrate’. Apart from the Heavenly Khan, none of the others in the Royal Court and none from One Emperor and Six Kings knew of his existence.

Bodar Khan was not particularly talented, but he was lucky enough to break through at crucial moments. This is how he managed to reach the Gold Core Third Level realm simply by slogging all these years. However, upon reaching this stage, it seemed as if his luck had run out. As years passed by, his life was hanging by a thread and still, he couldn’t see any hope of a breakthrough. He had thought of going out for training to find opportunities for a breakthrough, but after a period of time, he returned defeated. During his training outside, he encountered danger several times, narrowly escaping death. However, he gained no benefits, and instead lost a lot. Since then, he had chosen to extend his life by another method. He used the Turtle Breath Skill he had gained during his outside training to reduce his life activities to a very low level, spending ten days as if they were one. It was as if he was living in a state of suspended animation, quietly waiting for the right opportunity.

Despite having this method, Bodar Khan was still living in despair, waiting for death. But then, a glimmer of hope appeared – Qi Tian. Qi Tian was young and carried great secrets within him. Even if he didn’t seize Qi Tian’s secrets and merely possessed Qi Tian’s body, wiping away Qi Tian’s consciousness, this successful Body Possession would extend Bodar Khan’s life by at least hundreds of years.

How could Bodar Khan pass up such a great opportunity? When the Heavenly Khan approached him, asking that Bodar Khan help the Royal Court confront Qi Tian, Bodar Khan agreed without hesitation. His first choice was to use the Netherworld Fierce Fire Formation to severely wound Qi Tian, and after damaging both Qi Tian’s body and spirit, he would attempt Body Possession. This would greatly reduce the difficulty of Body Possession. As for the wounded body, he could slowly restore it using spirit medicine. However, if his first choice didn’t work out, Bodar Khan wouldn’t mind sharing Qi Tian’s secrets with the Heavenly Khan. He believed that if he acquired Qi Tian’s secrets, there was a high likelihood of finding a way to extend his lifespan. At that point, he could even venture outside again.

Now, as Deng Chuanliang suddenly burst out, how could Bodar Khan remain indifferent? He directly flew out from his cultivation spot and pounced towards Deng Chuanliang.

Deng Chuanliang sensed the unabashed Gold Core Third Level aura from Bodar Khan but did not panic. Qi Tian had already informed him of Bodar Khan’s presence through the branding in his sea of consciousness. Bodar Khan’s appearance did not exceed his expectations. At this point, the Chi Di Royal Court had to use whatever trump cards it had left. What would they save them for? Chinese New Year?

Deng Chuanliang also released his Gold Core Third Level aura. His aura was somewhat similar to Bodar Khan’s, both emanating a sense of age and exhaustion. But Deng Chuanliang’s came from his cultivation technique while Bodar Khan’s was the aura of impending death. They differed fundamentally.

“Old man, you finally showed up. Let me send you off to the Western Paradise.” Deng Chuanliang’s eyes gleamed with golden light as he fearlessly charged at Bodar Khan.

Bodar Khan was taken aback; according to Deng Chuanliang, he had known about his existence a while now. But how was that possible? Even the Six Kings were oblivious to his survival, let alone Deng Chuanliang, an outsider.

The sudden appearance of Deng Chuanliang gave the Heavenly Khan quite the scare. Where on earth did such a formidable master spring from? If not for the timely emergence of his ancestor from seclusion, their plan to cultivate Qi Tian today would certainly have ended in failure.

At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly ran out from the Royal Court. “Heavenly Khan, bad news, the Life Jade Brand of the Left Virtuous King has shattered. The Left Virtuous King has fallen.”

“What?” The Heavenly Khan trembled, he could hardly believe the news. After all, the Left Virtuous King wasn’t only his son, but also a Gold Core powerhouse. Furthermore, he had three Wolf Guards and a group of guards handpicked and trained by himself by his side. How could such a robust collective force fall?

Before the Heavenly Khan could process the news, another eunuch dashed out from the Royal Court. “Crisis! The East Court King has fallen, his Life Jade Brand is shattered to pieces.”

“Ah.” The Heavenly Khan clutched his chest and cried out in pain. He cast a spiteful gaze towards the place where fireworks had just erupted, then shifted his attention back to Qi Tian in the Floating Imprisonment Ox Array. “It’s you, it must be your doing. Where are my men? Activate the Netherworld Fierce Fire Formation, burn him, burn him for me.”

An Array Master responded, “Heavenly Khan, if we activate the array now, we won’t be able to protect the Royal Court. Nobody, including yourself, will survive.”
