Chapter 74: Chapter 74 - Destined Child?
Regarding the "little fish that slipped through the net" mentioned by Song Yang earlier, it referred to a recent event during his period of seclusion: for the first time, someone had managed to escape the assassins of the Shura Palace!
And it wasn't just once; this person had managed to escape several times!
Since he couldn't address the first two matters immediately, Song Yang decided to hunt this person personally.
He wanted to understand what made this individual so extraordinary that they could evade even the assassins of the Shura Palace.
The name of this person is... Fang Yu.
"Is it true? That freak finally left?"
A few minutes after Song Yang's departure, Yin Lunshe came to his senses with the help of the eunuchs who had returned to the palace and got up.
He finally felt a sense of relief upon seeing that the demon in human skin, Song Yang, had left. Now, he could resume his control over the kingdom.
Yin Lunshe, of course, never wanted to submit to Song Yang. In fact, at the beginning, he even considered hiring the new and mysterious assassin organization that had emerged in the Hundred Realms to eliminate him, known as the Shura Palace.
After all, besides this mysterious organization, he couldn't think of anyone else capable of such a feat.
However, he quickly discarded this idea. Even if it were possible, he wouldn't have enough resources, even if he sold the entire Yin Kingdom, to pay for the assassination of a Saint Realm powerhouse.
"Why the hell did I say it was an honor?"
Suddenly, he remembered Song Yang's last words and couldn't help but feel a severe headache, terrified at the thought that he might return.
"GUARDS! GUARDS!"
Trying to calm his thoughts, Yin Lunshe quickly summoned the guards. As they entered, they greeted him respectfully: "Your Majesty!"
"Decapitate them! Kill them all!"
Seeing the guards enter, Yin Lunshe roared, pointing towards the dancers.
Remembering how they had danced and even been intimate with another man besides himself, he was overcome with intense murderous intent.
"No, no, please, I was forced!"
"Why are you doing this, Your Majesty?"
"Please, spare me! Your Majesty ordered me!"
Upon hearing the command, the guards began to drag the dancers out to be beheaded. The dancers began to cry and plead desperately.
However, the guards ignored their pleas and were about to take the last dancer when she pulled something from the spatial ring given by Song Yang earlier.
"Wait, don't come closer!"
Suddenly, one of the dancers took something from the spatial ring given by Song Yang and pointed it at the guards. They ignored the warning and continued advancing.
Without hesitation, the dancer crushed the token towards the guards. A massive surge of aura erupted and advanced, destroying everything in its path.
"Real Realm!"
Yin Lunshe, who had already returned to the throne, couldn't help but exclaim as he sensed the aura. He hadn't expected that Song Yang had given the dancers a token containing a full attack from a Real Realm powerhouse!
But before he could be surprised, the attack began to obliterate everything around him and advanced towards him.
Neither he nor the guards had time to react and were instantly killed by the attack!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Outside, the magnificent palace could be seen trembling, and from the point where the dancer stood, everything was swiftly annihilated.
Although Song Yang had distributed these tokens casually, they were not very valuable to him. However, each one could kill anyone, from a mere commoner to even the ancestor of a kingdom, within the Land of the Hundred Realms.
Because he was bored, he had ordered thousands of Real Realm soldiers from the Blood Moon Army to create countless tokens containing their full attacks. Therefore, he had tens of thousands of tokens in his spatial ring.
Moreover, although each token required several rare materials to be created, the Shura Palace had mountains and mountains of resources at its disposal.
***
At that moment, in the sky above the enormous mountains near the border of the Yin Kingdom, Song Yang, floating in the air, quickly scanned a cave rich in spiritual energy with his divine sense and couldn't help but murmur, "Found you."
While using the Aura Control Technique, which rendered him invisible to any detection, Song Yang finally located Fang Yu, the person who had managed to escape from the Shura Palace.
'He's nothing special, just someone who has recently broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm.'
After a quick assessment, Song Yang noted that Fang Yu had just broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm and was kneeling in meditation, stabilizing his cultivation.
'Even so, I don't think he's so special as to escape from the Shadow Demons.'
After observing for a bit, Song Yang quickly lost interest and was about to launch a casual attack to eliminate him when a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
DING!
Upon hearing the sound, Song Yang was slightly startled but quickly realized it was the system.
However, he couldn't help but feel curious.
It was the first time the system had taken the initiative to speak directly to him; usually, it was Song Yang who initiated communication with the system.
[Ding, a special event has been detected]
[Initiating an exclusive mission for the host.]
"Special Event?" Song Yang was a bit puzzled. His system was a reputation system, not a mission system.
[Mission: Attention of the Celestial Dao]
[Description: It has been detected that the host has encountered the destined child of the Celestial Clouds Continent. To attract attention and increase your reputation with the Celestial Dao, a mission has been issued: eliminate the destined child!]
[Reward: A surprise reward]
[Time for completion: Unlimited]
"This kid is the destined child?"
Hearing the mission details, Song Yang was shocked to realize that the young man, who had previously seemed no more significant than an ant in his eyes, was actually the 'protagonist' of this world.
"Damn it, System, do you want me to die? You want me to attract the attention of the Celestial Dao?"
