Chapter 1258 - 1258: Winds and Clouds Surging

Forbidden Sand Sea, First Stone Gate World, Stone Gate Realm.

It's been a whole month since Lin Wudi left.

During this month, the Stone Gate Realm has undergone earth-shattering changes.

Half a month ago, everyone in the Stone Gate Realm was living in drunken stupor, waiting for their lifespan to run out and death to arrive.

Now, rumors about Lin Wudi and the Spatial Passage are circulating everywhere in the Stone Gate Realm.

Some say it's fake news.

Others believe it to be true.

Many people are even departing from their respective cities, rushing to the Nanyuan King King City!

In just one month, the Nanyuan King King City has become the busiest place in the entire Stone Gate Realm.

The Hidden King has fallen, the Ten Kings have dispersed in defeat, and the Stone Gate Realm has become a place ruled by Lin Wudi's words.

Nowadays, everyone in the Stone Gate Realm knows of Lin Wudi's renown.

Moreover, under the guidance of the Eastern Luo King, everyone regards Lin Wudi as their savior.

Especially those in the Nanyuan King King City, who witnessed miracles firsthand, they even revere Lin Wudi as a deity.

In this month's time, countless people have flocked to the entrance of the Heavenly Realm passage, worshipping with utmost reverence.

Though blocked by the Eastern Luo King and unable to leave the Stone Gate Realm through the Spatial Passage, everyone harbors a bit of hope in their hearts.

If the Spatial Passage can be opened once, it can be opened a second time.

As long as Lin Wudi is around, the time to leave the Forbidden Sand Sea is close at hand.

However, not everyone feels gratitude and hope.

Beneath the fervent worship and admiration lies hidden undercurrents.

The passageway to leave the Forbidden Sand Sea is right before their eyes, and it has been open for half a month, yet the Eastern Luo King blocks everyone from entering.

This has caused dissatisfaction among many.

Were it not for the fear of the Eastern Luo King's Third Tribulation cultivation level, unparalleled, someone would have revolted long ago.

...

Bang!

Inside a small courtyard, someone slammed a wine cup heavily onto a stone table, even smashing the stone table.

"The Eastern Luo King is worse than a beast! Half a month! Able to sustain for half a month, are we a threat for our few Second Thunder Tribulation members to leave?"

The speaker was someone of the Second Thunder Tribulation, originally a Great General under the Northern Gate King.

Fortuitously survived that day, but now because the dream of leaving so close is unattainable, feels resentful.

"Fei Yun, you keep quiet! We, these Second Thunder Tribulations, are less than a hundred, fundamentally unqualified to contend with the Eastern Luo King!"

One among several Second Thunder Tribulations in the courtyard opened his mouth.

The man named Huan Li, originally a Great General under the Western Mansion King, strongest in power, oldest in rank, is reluctantly considered the leader of these remnant soldiers.

"Then what do you propose we do? Merely watch?"

Fei Yun snorted coldly: "Do not forget, the Western Mansion King, just like the Northern Gate King, is an enemy of Lin Wudi. Even given a chance to leave the Forbidden Sand Sea, he won't take us along!"

Once he said this, all Second Thunder Tribulation members in the courtyard felt somewhat depressed.

They were all originally under the Ten Kings' command, deep in enmity with Lin Wudi.

In fact, it was precisely Fei Yun and Huan Li who initially kidnapped Mu Gui and Liu Yuan.

Such hatred destined that Lin Wudi would not treat them kindly.

Huan Li remained silent, or perhaps, had nothing to say.

Outmatched in strength, they simply couldn't break through the Eastern Luo King's blockade to flee to the Heavenly Battlefield.

"Huh?"

At this moment, suddenly someone spoke, "Look at the Destiny Light Tower!"

The rest instinctively looked up.

After the Ten Kings' downfall, the top of the Light Tower bore only the solitary white dot representing the Eastern Luo King.

But now, there are actually hundreds of light dots representing Third Tribulation strength!

"How is this possible?!"

Someone doubted their eyes, rubbed them, and yet the white dots on the Light Tower still numbered in the hundreds!

"This..."

"I understand now!"

Fei Yun's eyes suddenly brightened, shouted loudly: "There must be newcomers entering the Stone Gate Realm again!"

The Mysterious Organization, Heavenly Realm Guard, one after another, batches of Tribulation Transcenders entered the Stone Gate Realm.

Among these transcendents, there were indeed one or two hundred who were Third Tribulation!

This batch of newcomers is likely the same, but it's unknown where they hail from!

"Great! We should immediately contact them, kill the Eastern Luo King, and leave the Forbidden Sand Sea!"

"Good! I'll set off at once!"

"Together!"

"Hahaha, that idiot Eastern Luo King thought by becoming Lin Wudi's lackey, he could bully us all; let's see how he dies this time!"

The remnant soldiers were elated.

Having thought themselves in despair, unexpectedly, suddenly, a new opportunity arose!.

Moments later, all Second Thunder Tribulation members in the courtyard disappeared.

...

"Another batch of people?"

At the entrance of the Spatial Passage, the Eastern Luo King furrowed his brows slightly, visibly uneasy.

Hundreds of Third Thunder Tribulations appearing simultaneously; if Lin Wudi doesn't return, he simply can't hold them off!

If these people destroy the Spatial Passage, preventing Lin Wudi from returning, then all hope for everyone within the Stone Gate Realm to leave would be extinguished.

"Damn it!"

The Eastern Luo King was anxious, yet helpless.

Without Lin Wudi, he simply isn't a match for hundreds of Third Thunder Tribulations!

Swish!

A figure appeared beside the Eastern Luo King.

"More Third Thunder Tribulations have appeared..."

It was Xie Yue, whose face was ashen as he looked at the Light Tower, uncertain if he felt annoyance or relief.

To him, Lin Wudi had already departed with the Nanyuan King's corpse, whether or not he returns doesn't matter anymore.

He also doesn't care about being trapped dead in the Forbidden Sand Sea.

The Eastern Luo King glanced at Xie Yue, somewhat annoyed by his slightly excited demeanor.

This old bastard likely hopes Lin Wudi never returns and heads directly to the Heavenly Realm.

"Don't forget that King Lin has unfinished last wishes!"

The Eastern Luo King grudgingly reminded.

Xie Yue chuckled and said: "Whether forgotten or not, what difference does it make? You don't expect me to stop hundreds of Third Thunder Tribulations, do you?"

The Eastern Luo King was speechless.

Xie Yue continued to smile and said: "Rest assured, when the time comes, I'll die in battle with you."

The Eastern Luo King was tempted to slap this old lunatic dead.

Nobody wants to die in battle with you.

He still plans to return to the Heavenly Realm with Lin Wudi and make a mark.

To say the least, if Lin Wudi doesn't return, he stands to lose the most.

The Eastern Luo King turned back to look at the Spatial Passage.

He hadn't considered jumping into the Spatial Passage to directly leave the Forbidden Sand Sea without Lin Wudi.

But he also knew that if he dared to do so, Lin Wudi on the other side of the passage would never let him go.

Might even squash him with one slap!

Thinking like this, the Eastern Luo King felt increasingly depressed.

...

Inner Sea City.

"This ghost place really is a dead end, nothing but sand!"

Dozens of figures appeared one after another outside the Inner Sea City.

Leading them was a woman wearing a white mask with golden patterns.

Hearing her subordinate's complaints, the woman cast a sidelong glance at the speaker.

Immediately, the person closed their mouth, not daring to speak further.

"Ahead lies a city; let's inquire for information there!"

The woman led the group of figures toward Inner Sea City.

Before leaving, she looked up at the giant Light Tower in the sky, feeling it was somewhat peculiar.

The group left shortly after.

Over a hundred experts clad in Heavenly Realm Guard attire followed closely behind.

"Are those people from the Black List?"

"Didn't expect them to join in, truly courting death!"

"Alright, go gather intelligence, I wonder if Li Xiaochen and those guys have captured Lin Wudi. If they've completed the mission, all that loss we suffered would've been for nothing..."
