Chapter 1229 - 1229: Loyal to King Lin Until Death

No one expected that someone would dare to kidnap a close confidant of Lin Wudi at this moment.

At this time, the minds of the people in the Royal Palace and Flowing Sand City were very similar, both considering Lin Wudi as their hope.

At a time like this, there's barely enough time to support and offer their allegiance, and still, someone dares to kidnap Lin Wudi's people.

This is making enemies with everyone!

"Kill them!"

"Rescue them!"

In an instant, everyone could no longer bother with observing the Haotian Mirror, and all took action, aiming to intercept the two kidnappers.

Surprisingly, these two were not only undergoing the Second Thunder Tribulation but were also top-level experts comparable to the Great Generals!

Boom boom boom!

Blades of Tribulation Thought crisscrossed, and all the people of the Royal Palace standing in their path were slain.

Because of their identities, Mu Gui and Liu Yuan did not enter the city, and thus there were not many people around them.

They were unexpectedly captured by the two kidnappers in no time!

"Damn it!"

The faces of the three Great Generals in the Royal Palace changed drastically.

They were just thinking about how to build a relationship and please Lin Wudi once he emerged.

After all, Lin Wudi, just like them, was undergoing the Second Thunder Tribulation.

They were the most suitable to leave the Forbidden Sand Sea with Lin Wudi.

And now, someone was ruining their plans!

If Lin Wudi were to emerge and discover his men had been kidnapped, how could he possibly have a good impression of them?

"Chase them!"

The three Great Generals, leading a hundred King's Guards, went mad, not hesitating to burn their Tribulation Thunder Thoughts to intercept them.

Unexpectedly, the two kidnappers would also burn their Tribulation Thunder Thoughts just as crazily!

As they watched the group of over a hundred gradually disappear into the distance, the Royal Palace fell into dead silence.

No one knew what the consequences would be when Lin Wudi emerged from the Sixth-Level Guiyu and found such a thing had happened.

Elder Xie silently recovered the Haotian Mirror but did not leave.

Crack crack crack!

Under everyone's gaze, the Sixth-Level Guiyu shattered, ultimately transforming into a pearl that fell into Lin Wudi's hand.

When Lin Wudi, clothed in white like snow, appeared in the Royal Palace, the entire place fell into silence.

Lin Mu flipped his palm and absorbed the Ghost Pearl into his Tribulation Thunder Thought.

This scene once again made the hearts of all around him tremble.

Typically, only Tribulation-Crossing Ancestors who had reached the Fourth Tribulation Thunder could use the Tribulation Thunder Thought to store items.

Yet no one expected that Lin Wudi could achieve this at the Second Thunder Tribulation.

Lin Wudi indeed was no ordinary Mortal!

"Hail King Lin!"

Someone sincerely worshipped, prostrating on the ground.

"Hail King Lin!"

"Hail King Lin!"

The voices rose, and in the vast Royal Palace, nearly all of the millions of cultivators knelt and worshipped.

Only Elder Xie and four others stood alone amidst the crowd, out of place.

The five of them did not kneel.

Because, in their hearts, there was only one king, and that was the Nanyuan King.

Lin Mu scanned with his Divine Sense and immediately realized Mu Gui and Liu Yuan were unexpectedly absent.

Given how well he knew the two, they would never have left without permission.

"King Lin, just now, two unidentified people kidnapped your subordinates, and the three Great Generals are leading the King's Guard in pursuit..."

A person undergoing the Second Thunder Tribulation cautiously reported what had just happened.

As he spoke, his whole body was tense, sweating profusely from nervousness.

He knew well that kidnapping a close confidant was a terrible breach of protocol.

If Lin Wudi was displeased, the destruction of a city was not impossible!

Lin Mu did not get angry; he calculated with his fingers, and his eyebrows slightly raised.

Mu Gui and Liu Yuan were not in danger of losing their lives, at least not until he intervened personally.

Since that was the case, he simply chose to ignore it, waiting for the kidnappers of Mu Gui and Liu Yuan to reveal themselves.

Striding across the void, Lin Mu headed toward another Ghost Specter.

As the Royal Palace within the Nanyuan King King's Domain, there were numerous Ghost Specters inside, a total of fifty!

"King Lin, please hold on..."

Elder Xie, with four others, approached Lin Mu.

Lin Mu looked at the five in surprise.

Within the Royal Palace, everyone was kneeling in worship, except for these five who remained unmoved.

"King Lin, please don't misunderstand, we belong to the Nanyuan King and did not kidnap your men!"

Elder Xie hurriedly explained.

If Lin Wudi misunderstood, it could cost lives.

"What is it?"

Lin Mu vaguely guessed something.

"King Lin, while collecting Ghost Specters, we wonder if our king's remains might be among them..."

Elder Xie's eyes filled with tears as he lowered his head respectfully, full of humility.

Those witnessing this scene felt a mix of emotions.

The Nanyuan King and Lin Wudi were enemies.

Even if these people had recently benefited from the Nanyuan King, they dared not face Lin Wudi directly or ask such a question.

One wrong word, and total annihilation could be the result.

Truly, Xie Yue was loyal.

Xie Yue was the Minister of Internal Affairs under the Nanyuan King, almost managing everything within the Royal Palace.

Yet, until today, no one knew he was loyal to such an extent to the Nanyuan King.

He risked offending Lin Wudi to retrieve the Nanyuan King's remains.

Such loyal ministers might be unique in the Forbidden Sand Sea, only these five.

"Xu Yuan's remains are indeed with me..."

Lin Mu's sentence made Xie Yue overjoyed, but quickly, Lin Wudi's next words changed his expression.

"But I cannot give you the remains!"

"Why? Killing is no more than a nod of the head; do you intend to insult our king's remains?!"

Xie Yue was livid, with an implicit anger in his eyes.

Everyone around held their breath for Xie Yue.

Given Lin Wudi's ability to slay twelve thousand undergoing the Second Thunder Tribulation, killing Xie Yue would be but a flick of the finger.

This old man was truly insane!

Lin Mu paid no mind to such a misunderstanding by loyal ministers and said lightly, "I intend to bring his remains back to the Phoenix Cloud Holy Land!"

"What?"

At these words, Xie Yue and his four companions were struck dumb.

None of them expected that as a former enemy, Lin Wudi would be willing to do such a thing for the Nanyuan King.

The surrounding people of the Royal Palace also had mixed expressions as if seeing Lin Wudi anew.

Falling leaves return to their roots.

Leaving the Forbidden Sand Sea, buried in the homeland's Holy Lands, was a wish that everyone in the Stone Gate Realm dared not even dream of.

Now, Lin Wudi was willing to do it for the Nanyuan King.

Thud!

Just moments before, while everyone knelt, the five who had stubbornly resisted kneeling—Xie Yue and his group—fell to the ground, heavily bowing to Lin Mu!

"King Lin! From now on, the five of us are at your service as your loyal followers! Whatever orders you give, we will fulfill them with our lives!"

Xie Yue's eyes were bloodshot, expressing endless gratitude.

"It was nothing, no need for such formality."

Lin Mu ascended into the air, flying toward another Ghost Specter.

Xie Yue and the others watched Lin Wudi's departing figure, their emotions raging, unable to calm down.

"Go investigate! I want to know who kidnapped King Lin's confidants!"

Suddenly, Xie Yue gritted his teeth and shouted.

A minister dies if the lord is humiliated; they were now Lin Wudi's ministers.

With someone kidnapping Lin Wudi's confidants, they naturally had to lay down their lives to find the enemy for Lin Wudi.

"Yes!"

The four behind Xie Yue respectfully bowed and departed in different directions.

An incense stick later, the three Great Generals returned with the King's Guard, their faces dark.

"Those bastards were prepared, burning a massive amount of Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, we couldn't catch up!"

Seeing everyone's eyes on them, the three Great Generals could only explain.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Royal Palace had exceedingly gloomy expressions.

"Where is Lin Wudi?"

After scanning the area and not finding Lin Wudi, the three Great Generals asked in confusion.
