Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: The Emperor of Japan’s Sacrifice!
Inside the Imperial Palace, due to the orders of the King, Muraeno Yamaguchi, the defenses had already been strengthened!
Yet, subtly, as these Martial Arts experts entered the palace, it increasingly added nourishment for the King-level Evil Cult!
Those guard experts closest to the palace all shared the same reaction.
“Old Zhang, what’s happening today? Why do I feel so weak, as if there’s no strength in my body… it’s like something is draining my vital energy…”
“Yes, I feel it too. There’s a stifling aura in the air, it’s so strange? Could it be that idiot demon from Great Xia has come to Dongying and used some kind of Secret Technique?”
“Hmph! It must be the case; everyone stay cautious!”
The guards of Dongying naturally placed the blame on Ye Fan, never realizing that their King was no longer the King himself!
…
When Ye Fan and Yamada Eiko, Akita Yuuki entered the palace’s inner courtyard, a group of officials was already waiting for them at the entrance.
Upon seeing Ye Fan and the others arrive, a crowd quickly approached.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you’ve finally arrived! It’s such a relief that you’re unharmed!”
“Congratulations, congratulations! The King just announced nationwide that you are the sole Crown Prince!”
A group quickly encircled Yamada Eiko, some genuinely congratulatory, others merely flattering.
As for Ye Fan, who served as a guard for the Eldest Prince’s Mansion and was injured, someone from the palace immediately took him for treatment and recovery!
With the Eldest Prince now in the palace, Ye Fan no longer needed to watch over his safety.
Ye Fan left with several guards, enjoying the leisure!
The main reason for Ye Fan entering the palace was to investigate the traces of the Evil Cult and resolve the King-level Evil Cult issue.
As for the internal affairs of the Japanese Imperial Family, Ye Fan had already set everything in motion and didn’t need to do anything further.
Following the guards to the medical pavilion, the medical officer simply treated Ye Fan’s “injury,” then left him alone in the room.
Without hesitation, Ye Fan flashed out of the room, and inside the palace, he eliminated a patrolling Guard Captain, disguised himself with the guard’s clothes and appearance, took his Token, and pretended to patrol the entire palace.
With the Devil’s Pupil activated once again, Ye Fan discovered that the closer he got to the King’s bedchamber, the more concentrated the black threads were. The fluctuating black mist aura was also more intense!
Could the Evil Cult Seal be located beneath the King’s bedchamber?
Ye Fan frowned slightly!
How could he infiltrate that area to take a look without alarming the guards on a large scale?
He swiftly scanned a garden with his Devil’s Pupil and astonishingly discovered a secret door, a passage leading under the King’s bedchamber?
Was this a secret passage for the King of Dongying to meet his lover?
Ye Fan didn’t care much about that, quickly opened the secret door, and subdued his aura as he approached the bedchamber direction!
As he neared the bedchamber’s direction, the passage began to extend upward, but Ye Fan’s Devil’s Pupil could briefly see through the stone walls, revealing an open underground space just a few meters beyond!
In that space, there were also faint traces of Formation fluctuations.
That must be the location of the Evil Cult Seal!
Ye Fan frowned once more, but how could he enter the underground seal area without causing a major stir?
Using the Flame of Inheritance to incinerate? That’s indeed possible!
However, the high temperature of the Flame of Inheritance would definitely alert the people above.
When Ye Fan approached here earlier, he sensed that a super-powerful Telekinesis Wave expert was gathering at the bedchamber!
It’s just that, contrary to Li Mu’s previous investigation finds.
Normally, someone with such Telekinesis Waves should be a King-level Evil Cult… but what Ye Fan perceived was oddly a normal human, seemingly in the midst of cultivation.
Who could be cultivating in the King’s bedchamber of Dongying?
The King of Dongying?
Ye Fan’s mind spun rapidly, pondering the possibilities…
The Japanese Imperial Family was ordered to suppress the Evil Cult by building the East Japan Imperial Palace on top of the Sealing Formation.
And now, with the premature unsealing of the Evil Cult Formation, considering the King’s sudden surge in power, Ye Fan had a bold speculation—perhaps an agreement had been reached between the King of Dongying and the Evil Cult?
For if it wasn’t the Japanese Imperial Family unsealing the formation and releasing the Evil Cult, even a King-level Evil Cult couldn’t have unsealed so swiftly…
Ye Fan quickly contemplated this and saw the Three Thousand Red Threads Overlord Body manifesting on his fingertip, coming up with an idea!
These Red Thread Tyrant Bodies, though extremely fine, held immense power and could silently penetrate these rocks, prying them open without causing any commotion.
This way, Ye Fan wouldn’t need to utilize the Teleportation Trait…
The expert cultivating in the King’s bedchamber was beyond the Nascent Soul Realm, perhaps even more powerful than Ye Fan. Ye Fan dared not act rashly, should he not plan an early strike against his opponent, he dared not confront them head-on!
Huff!
The Three Thousand Red Threads Overlord Body swiftly drilled into the stone, and with a slight twist, the hard stone turned to powder, which the Red Thread Tyrant Body then reeled back in, forming a pile of dusty mountains in the tunnel while in front of Ye Fan, there appeared a passage wide enough for one person.
Ye Fan quickly entered the passage; after walking a few meters, it opened up into a vast cavern space, appearing before Ye Fan!
It was uncannily similar to the situations Ye Fan had observed in Great Xia and the Ancient Martial World.
A massive skeleton of an Ancient Fierce Beast was standing on the ground, and beneath the skeleton, there were faintly glowing, broken Formation remnants!
More terrifyingly, countless black threads, shimmering with dense smoke… all gathered onto the beast skeleton, then transformed into a thick mist as broad as a barrel, spreading upwards!
Through the slabs above, Ye Fan sensed someone sitting cross-legged above, frantically absorbing this black smoke
The smoke contained Soul Power, Telekinesis, and boundless Vitality Force.
The crucial part was when Ye Fan observed the person above with his Devil’s Pupil; upon seeing the face, he couldn’t help but open his mouth in shock…
“It’s him! It’s indeed the King of Dongying, Muraeno Yamaguchi!”
Ye Fan’s heart tightened!
The King-level Evil Cult had already lifted its seal and merged with the King of Dongying, and it seemed like Muraeno Yamaguchi willingly offered his body!
No wonder Muraeno Yamaguchi had arranged the succession early, laying a big trap here?
Ye Fan could feel with just a slight perception that Muraeno Yamaguchi’s power was at least above the Seventh Grade of the Nascent Soul, with the battle experience and Cultivation Techniques of the Evil Cult, standing against Ye Fan would be tough; how could he ambush him?
Ye Fan frowned, contemplating!
At this moment, in the King’s bedchamber, the King-level Evil Cult that was cultivating seemed to have a sense, “Hmm? Why do I feel a sense of unease?”
