Chapter 168: Chapter 167: The Saint Radiance King’s Wrath
Lin You’s first task upon returning to the Main City was to submit the mission.
He received 1500 Honor Points as the mission reward.
Next.
He hurried back to his Territory, waiting for news from the King.
After all, the journey back to the Main City took quite some time, so the message should have been successfully delivered.
Sure enough, before long, a sudden loud blast sounded in his ear.
“Kid! Get over here immediately!”
The blast was exceptionally abrupt.
It was as if a loudspeaker had been placed right next to Lin You’s ear, startling him greatly.
And as the sound faded, the space in front of him began to warp rapidly, transforming into a Space Passage.
He was then enveloped by an invisible force and pulled into the passage, unable to muster even the slightest resistance!
Is this the true power of a Tier Eleven Lord!?
Lin You was utterly shocked.
But he quickly calmed down.
For he recognized that the voice belonged to the Saint Radiance King.
This was somewhat unexpected for him.
It wasn’t the King of the Great Wilderness who summoned him, but the terrifying Saint Radiance King.
Flash!
Light erupted.
When Lin You steadied himself again, he found himself in a lavishly splendid hall.
Rows of knights stood straight all around, each exuding a terrifying aura of dominance.
And beside him, Ji Yunshuang and an imposing, dignified man stood there, all eyes fixed on him.
There’s no need to guess.
This man, bearing some resemblance to Ji Yunshuang, must indeed be her father, and simultaneously the King of the Great Wilderness Duchy, Ji Xinghe.
If someone like Ji Xinghe had to stand beneath the throne, the identity of the one seated there would naturally be evident.
Who else could it be but the Saint Radiance King?
Even without looking, Lin You could sense an overwhelming pressure emanating from the throne, suffocating him.
He slowly lifted his head to see, at the top of the hall, a burly man seated on the throne, with eyes wide open, seemingly ready to shoot fire.
“Kid, so you’re the one claiming someone under me is sealing off the Space Passages to the Subordinate Plane?”
The Saint Radiance King’s voice thundered through the hall like explosive thunder.
Lin You finally witnessed the terrifying presence of the Saint Radiance King himself, far more terrifying than his voice in the communication channel.
Moreover, that voice filled with rage indicated he was utterly furious, with arms gripping the throne shaking intensely.
Lin You had no doubt that if he dared to lie, the King would not hesitate to slap him to death.
He finally confirmed that the Saint Radiance King was not the true culprit behind the scenes.
Without daring to conceal, he said directly, “Yes, what I claimed before is entirely true!”
“What will you use to prove it?”
The Saint Radiance King’s eyes narrowed, an invisible force suddenly enveloped Lin You, pressing him with the force of a tidal wave, nearly suffocating him and turning his face pale.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshuang showed a trace of concern, wanting to speak out to stop it.
But she soon realized Lin You did not yield under the pressure.
Instead, he stood resolutely, his gaze exceptionally firm.
Even Ji Xinghe looked at him with admiration.
After a while.
Lin You finally endured the pressure, speaking with difficulty, “There is no need for proof because… I escaped from that area!”
In one sentence, the entire hall fell silent.
Ji Yunshuang looked utterly surprised, as this was completely different from the version she’d heard.
Even Ji Xinghe was equally astonished, not knowing what Lin You was up to.
Only the Saint Radiance King seemed to have guessed something and suddenly laughed aloud.
“Good kid! Even more cunning than I expected!”
As the words fell, that terrifying pressure also receded, allowing Lin You to breathe easy.
Finally, Ji Yunshuang couldn’t help but ask, “Lin You, didn’t you say you only saw other nearby areas being blocked? How come now you claim you escaped from that area?”
“Doesn’t need asking? This kid was worried we’d harm him, so he said it on purpose, pretending to deceive even me, quite gutsy.”
The Saint Radiance King, having guessed the situation’s cause, spoke in a thunderous voice.
While there was blame in his words, there was more admiration for Lin You, clearly not intending to punish him.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xinghe also suddenly realized and glanced at Lin You a few more times.
Under their gaze, Lin You gave a bitter smile, “Please forgive me, Saint Radiance King, I was forced to act this way, or I fear I’d already be dead in that area.”
His words revealed deep helplessness and hardship.
If he hadn’t been cautious enough, how would he have the opportunity to stand here and speak thusly?
“It seems you suffered greatly to arrive here.”
The Saint Radiance King’s gaze gradually turned icy.
His subordinates had been harmed by spies from the Primordial Evil Realm to such an extent, how could he, the one commanding the Ten Great Dukedoms, tolerate it!
“Speak, tell me every detail you know about the area blockade, and I’ll seek justice for you!”
Having kings among his ranks turn into spies was an undisputed disgrace to the Saint Radiance King, possibly making him a laughingstock among other kings; how could he not be furious?
Had Lin You and the others not been present, his explosive temper would have erupted long ago.
And after Lin You drew a deep breath, he concealed nothing, unfolding everything he’d learned throughout his journey.
Including how he discovered the blockade, the escape process, and unexpected findings along the way, he recounted meticulously.
The three beside him, the more they listened, the darker their expressions became.
Eventually, they even clenched their fists, hinting at imminent explosive fury.
“Outrageous! Who gave the Primordial Evil Realm the audacity to slaughter so many of my people?”
In extreme anger, the Saint Radiance King slammed his palm onto the throne.
With a resounding “boom,” the whole palace shuddered fiercely.
A fearsome wave of air swept across the surroundings.
Fortunately, Ji Xinghe reacted promptly, shielding Lin You and Ji Yunshuang behind him, keeping them unharmed.
A casual strike from a Tier Eleven Lord was terrifying beyond imagination!
Having vented, the Saint Radiance King quickly regained composure, immediately looking at a Golden Armored Knight standing foremost nearby.
“Go, summon all the kings. I’m going to clean house personally! If anyone dares not come, execute them directly!”
The unbelievably domineering voice nearly left Lin You at a loss for words.
But what left him even more shocked.
As he looked at the Golden Armored Knight, an interface suddenly appeared before his eyes.
