Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: Sacrificing Oneself to the Evil Cult
“King, Ye Fan is indeed too powerful! Right now, there’s no one in Dongying who can stand against him… Even the experts from Penglai Immortal Island invited by the General’s Mansion have been completely wiped out… What should we do now?”
In the grand hall, the Guard Commander of the royal family looked dejected in the face of such a situation!
King Muraeno Yamaguchi paced despondently around the room and finally said helplessly, “Pass my decree… If I should unfortunately fall, the throne of Dongying will be succeeded by Muraeno Ichiro… All of you present, bear witness…”
At that moment, in the grand hall, not only was the Guard Commander present, but also several other kin of the Japanese Imperial Family and some other high-level officials of Dongying! These high-level officials were aware of the upheaval in Japan Royal City, with the collapse of the General’s Mansion, they naturally came to the royal family to discuss countermeasures with the King!
“Ah… Muraeno Ichiro… but, the Eldest Prince he…”
Some present were not supporters of the Eldest Prince, many preferred to support the Third Prince or the Fourth Prince!
Even the King, wasn’t he not fond of the Eldest Prince in the past?
Why, at this critical moment, did he suddenly confirm the Eldest Prince’s position as Crown Prince?
“King, you should consider carefully! The Third Prince is clearly more outstanding… You’re doing this…”
One of the elders, who was quite close to the King, clearly didn’t understand why the King was acting this way, and anxiously reminded the King!
Seeing more people wanting to support the Third Prince, Muraeno Yamaguchi sneered to his few legitimate lineages in a low voice and said in a low, deep voice, “Fools… Now that Ye Fan has crippled the Black Clothes Society and destroyed the General’s Mansion, the next target will certainly not miss the chance to suppress the royal family… Think carefully, if I fall, who would Ye Fan target next, the Crown Prince or just an ordinary prince?”
Huh?
Muraeno Yamaguchi’s words left everyone present stunned for a few seconds, but a few quick-witted ones already understood!
What the hell!
It turns out this wily old fox is truly wicked!
This fellow, from the depths of his being, still doesn’t like this dance girl’s Eldest Prince. Back then, it was only because of the order of birth and having no other children that he was forced to establish the Eldest Prince as the successor.
Now, although Muraeno Yamaguchi announced the Eldest Prince as his heir, he wasn’t actually intending to elevate Muraeno Ichiro to power but rather to use him as a scapegoat.
When Ye Fan strikes down the King and then the Crown Prince, the real successor… won’t be threatened.
How insidious!
How ruthless!
Those close to the King were the first to react, then quickly exchanged glances…
“My mind is made up, the Eldest Prince is the only candidate for King, does anyone have any objections?”
Muraeno Yamaguchi asked again!
“Ah… no… no objections! We pledge our loyalty to the royal family, and the King’s arrangements must have the King’s own reasons…”
“Alas! What a pity for the Third Prince!”
“And the Fourth Prince too!”
These old foxes, even pretended to act regretful about it!
“Support the King!”
“The Eldest Prince as the Crown Prince!”
Those who supported the Third Prince and Fourth Prince no longer opposed, and the high levels who already supported the Eldest Prince naturally didn’t oppose it either.
The scene soon reached a consensus… all parts of the high levels unanimously drafted all the documents and provisions, immediately broadcasting them across the nation on television.
After completing all this, King Muraeno Yamaguchi sighed deeply, “Alas! Given the current situation, this is the only step we can take…”
“I’m a bit tired, I need to rest for a moment, you all leave now, ensure the defense of the royal family is strengthened fivefold!”
Muraeno Yamaguchi ordered, then quickly headed towards a room in the back of the hall!
…
In Muraeno Yamaguchi’s residence, after entering the room, he chased all the guards and bodyguards out of the room, locked the door behind them!
After doing all this, Muraeno Yamaguchi took out a stack of Rune Talismans from the drawer, quickly setting up a Talisman Array in the room… Then grabbed a Battle Saber and stabbed himself in the heart.
“Muraeno Yamaguchi summons Lord Evil…”
Splatter!
As Muraeno Yamaguchi spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, the surrounding formation began to emit a majestic golden light, enveloping Muraeno Yamaguchi in the center.
Crackle!
In the next moment, Muraeno Yamaguchi’s body emitted some strange sounds… Then his body began to transform, limbs twisted at impossible angles, growing several feet taller, and his face became skeletal!
“Kekeke… Finally awakened?”
The body that initially belonged to Muraeno Yamaguchi emitted a strange, unfamiliar voice, as if it were coming from underground.
“This Muraeno Yamaguchi makes a fine servant! In gratitude for supplying so many souls, I’ll spare your life… For now, I’ll use this body until I find a more suitable one to return to you…”
The mutated body, while speaking, surged with an intense black mist, shimmering with an evil glow.
The black mist spread from the body to the ground, then reaching the outer grounds of the entire Imperial Palace and the whole Royal Capital, silently transforming into countless black threads, connecting with the martial arts experts of Dongying and ordinary citizens alike.
While the other end extended underground along the surface!
Rumble!
The floor of Muraeno Yamaguchi’s chamber opened, revealing a pitch-black tunnel below, where an Ancient Fierce Beast and a broken formation were visible…
The source of the black mist emanated from that Ancient Fierce Beast.
Thus… The being contained in the black mist was precisely the King-level Evil Cult sealed beneath the Japanese Imperial Family all along!
Only, what the outside world didn’t know was that many years ago, the Japanese Imperial Family already discovered the underground formation, and using their own secret techniques, quietly unsealed it, then each successive king ritualistically sacrificed their body to host the Evil Cult, and absorbed the soul power of Dongying’s citizens to nourish and cultivate the Evil Cult!
“Hmph! Just a little more, after absorbing a hundred thousand souls, I can completely break free from the Fierce Beast’s skeleton, break free from the constraints of the formation! By then, my strength will surpass the Nascent Soul Realm, who in the secular world will be a match for me?”
As the King-level Evil Cult’s body gradually returned to normal, so did its voice, transforming into Muraeno Yamaguchi’s voice.
The guards outside, hearing the commotion inside, questioned with some doubt, “King, are you alright? I seemed to hear a stranger’s voice just now?”
“You heard wrong!”
The voice inside, now belonging to the entirely recovered Evil Cult, responded normally, and the black mist that originally manifested on the ground vanished below… Yet, that faintly sinister feeling lingered in the air…
“This is a bit strange!”
