Chapter 163 Lord Wu'an was not a dead ruler, but he could still be commanded.
"By the way, Hua Zhanhong, if it were him, he could kill me, and I would have virtually no chance of turning the tables. It's a pity that all your big leaders are too busy and don't care about a nobody like me." Jiuying shook her head regretfully, as if she really hoped to be killed.
Saying I don't care isn't quite accurate; it's more like I'm afraid of death? Afraid I might have some hidden tricks up my sleeve. Because of this vague possibility, your leaders haven't taken action, which has given us the opportunity to develop our own power.
"You're like a rat, who the hell can find you?!"
Jiang Shaotian shouted loudly.
Jiuying was clearly mocking the military region's top leaders for valuing their lives and not daring to pursue him. He had to refute this, as it concerned their honor, even though only he knew it.
But some people say that's not acceptable.
"Fine, I won't discuss those people. They see me as a mad dog anyway. But so what if I'm a mad dog? A dog that bites someone can get rabies. I don't care. Let's see if they can tolerate me causing a scene." Jiuying shrugged, not caring about anything.
"Making a scene?"
"Making a scene."
Jiuying nodded, then suddenly paused, asking with some confusion, "You don't know what kind of place this is, do you?"
"I know a little, but not much," Jiang Shaotian said.
There is no doubt that he cannot kill Jiuying now, and Jiuying's current behavior can deceive him. The only reason he is still alive is because Jiuying finds him boring.
"Hey, are you kidding me? You don't even know what's here? Do you know about that woman's plan?" Jiuying changed the subject again.
Jiang Shaotian frowned. He didn't know the woman Jiu Ying was talking about, but the only one Jiu Ying could mention was that other cardinal on this continent, the culprit who caused the Bo City disaster that shocked the country.
Her plan—
Jiang Shaotian was now a high-ranking leader, and they did have rumors that Bocheng was just a rehearsal, and that there was a bigger plan being carried out in secret, but they knew nothing about the specifics.
The Black Vatican was too well hidden; their whereabouts were impossible to find. Jiuying was only discovered because he exposed his location himself. He didn't hide himself and openly exposed himself to their sight. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to find Jiuying, just like the cardinal.
Jiang Shaotian shook his head, though the sight of his head almost touching the ground made him look rather comical.
"I really don't know what to say about you guys." Jiu Ying seemed to have heard something very funny and appeared very happy.
"No wonder you can't accomplish anything. It's been more than three years since Bo City, and you haven't discovered anything. It's unbelievable. With your abilities, thinking you can stop it is just wishful thinking," Jiuying mocked.
Jiang Shaotian remained silent. Jiuying thought for a moment, then said, "I happen to be in a good mood, so I'll tell you."
I roughly know what that guy is trying to do—to make this place like Bo City. It's a bit difficult, but she seems to have mastered all the necessary elements. Whether she wants the things here or not is irrelevant; she's just bringing Wu Ku here as a precaution. Even if she didn't have them, it wouldn't matter.
"Here? The ancient capital?!" Jiang Shaotian was somewhat excited. The clue they had been searching for but could not find was now being told to him by Cardinal Jiuying of the Black Vatican.
How ridiculous! But Jiang Shaotian didn't feel that way. What he wanted to know was that person's purpose.
"Don't get excited. It is indeed this ancient capital. Her plan is complete, and construction should begin soon. I don't care. I can't control what she does. She's just causing some disaster, and I don't care about that." Jiuying said disdainfully. This was the thing he despised the most.
What's so great about killing a few ordinary people? Anyone can do that. A natural disaster kills more people than that. And you call that godhood? What a load of rubbish! What kind of god is that?
"More like a god of the sewers. If she were that powerful, she'd kill the Grand Ambassador. All the sins originate from the Grand Ambassador, but she doesn't dare go after him, so she can only vent her anger on ordinary people."
This is what Jiuying despises most: killing a few ordinary people.
Jiuying doesn't care about ordinary people. If Jiuying wants to kill someone, it's that guy surnamed Ai from the Western Military Region, that old man from the Southwest Military Region, or that guy from the Forbidden City, or Hua Zhanhong from the South, or those guys from the capital or the capital city.
If you're going to kill, kill these heavyweights; only then will it make sense, and only then can you ascend to godhood.
"Her purpose is actually very simple, it can be summarized in one sentence. Now, Wang, tell me about what's going on here."
Jiuying's words pulled Jiang Shaotian back to reality. "You don't even know what's here, yet you still came. There's no one else like you. You guys are just good for nothing." Jiuying first made a sarcastic remark, and then continued.
"Let me think about how to say it—you should know about the Eight Desolate Kings. Actually, the Eight Desolate Kings have never been complete. Not long ago, I even saw the Nine Netherworld Queen wandering around outside. There is also a white-robed corpse general here. Lord Wu'an should be considered a tomb guardian, not one of the Desolate Kings."
Besides these two, many other deceased rulers are feigning death, like that skeleton. Very few are actually moving. Here, there's a sword, belonging to that ancient king, that can command deceased rulers, but it's useless to us humans; we can't command them, but we can summon them."
The deceased ruler wasn't a good person either; they were all demons, weren't they? They would definitely attack humans. Coupled with that thing they were researching, the deceased ruler would gather forces to attack the ancient capital. That was her goal. As for my goal—
"I simply want that sword. It's a treasure, but I only have decorations at home, so that sword will do."
Jiuying said a lot, and Jiang Shaotian memorized it all.
You are lying.
"Hmm? You noticed?" Jiuying said, somewhat surprised.
"It would be strange if you didn't notice it. Your purpose isn't some decoration, definitely not this," Jiang Shaotian said with certainty.
"Okay, that's not it. You can guess what the purpose is. It's a guessing game with no prize. What is it?" Jiuying smiled mysteriously, without revealing his purpose.
It's best if he keeps this to himself; it would be too troublesome if too many people knew. Even though everyone here will die, he doesn't like his plans to be known by others.
Jiuying stretched, his bones cracking as he did so. The magic had made him feel unwell for a while, but he was much better now.
He twisted his neck. He had been here for so long and hadn't found a single hair on the white-robed corpse general. Moreover, now that the palace was destroyed, he would have come out long ago if he were still here.
In conclusion, I have to look elsewhere, which means another long journey. Ugh.
