Chapter 2640: Chapter 2640: Ancestral Hall
"Perhaps you don’t know that back then, the King of the Nine Provinces had his own domain, and in this domain, we had our own language. Whether slaves or household servants like None King."
Jessica explained, "But our family members, those related by blood, had their own more complex script. Slaves and servants didn’t need to be cultured; they just needed to know the simplest characters to understand us."
"This script is our family’s advanced script, known only to our family members. I think my brother was worried something might happen and left such a script behind."
"To outsiders, it looks almost like patterns. Moreover, the white jade bed is already high-class; they wouldn’t understand it," Jessica just finished speaking.
"Haha, thank you!"
A voice came from above them.
None King silently descended, his face smug as he said, "Blood Soul wasn’t wrong; I knew your brother must have left you a message."
His body was cloaked as if by a garment by the Emperor Blood Soul, ensuring None King wouldn’t be detected.
"I’m leaving! Goodbye!"
None King vanished in a flash.
"Damn!" Quella Radcliffe was about to chase but was pulled back by Julius Reed grabbing her wrist.
"What are you doing!" Quella struggled hard, anxiously saying, "If they find it, I’ll lose this opportunity!"
The Treasure Bead was incredibly important to her.
"Don’t worry; she lied," Julius Reed looked at Jessica, "Right?"
"How did you know?" Jessica looked at Julius Reed in surprise and then nodded, "Indeed, I must ensure absolute safety around me; otherwise, if I speak rashly, they would certainly find out."
"My wife is still the cleverest," Nine Nether True Monarch couldn’t help but give Jessica a kiss on the cheek.
"Get off! I haven’t agreed to you yet," Jessica snorted arrogantly, pushing Nine Nether True Monarch away, "Now follow me."
...
In the second realm of the Nine Provinces Manor.
The Emperor Blood Soul was attached to None King.
The two ran towards the grand hall within the Three Cities.
"Do you think that bitch Jessica might deceive us?" None King said while running.
"No, she couldn’t possibly know we’re here," the Emperor Blood Soul said confidently, "Moreover, only a handful know their family’s script, even I, the son-in-law, don’t understand it."
"That foolish woman, I know her too well," the Emperor Blood Soul’s face was filled with disdain and a hint of resentment.
Jessica’s words deeply stung him.
Indeed, he wasn’t a man physiologically.
Marrying Jessica was also to use it as an opportunity to connect with the Nine Provinces King and to scheme against the Nine Provinces King.
However, sometimes, especially in front of Nine Nether True Monarch, those harsh words were indeed intolerable for the Emperor Blood Soul.
After all, he was a man himself.
"Emperor Blood Soul, don’t speak so assuredly. Don’t forget, she’s cheating on you behind your back. Forgive my bluntness, but you still don’t understand her," None King shook his head with a mocking smile, suddenly feeling a chill down his back, hurriedly laughed to defuse the situation, "Just kidding, we’re almost at the grand hall in the Three Cities."
The Emperor Blood Soul didn’t say a word, but his eyes carried murderous intent.
They passed through row after row of buildings, smoothly arriving at the grand hall called the Three Cities.
"This is the main hall of the Nine Provinces Manor; only their family members can enter," the Emperor Blood Soul glanced at the hall plaque on the grand hall of the Three Cities, squinting his eyes, "Besides, this is the second realm created by the Nine Provinces King; it’s even more impossible for anyone to come in."
"Shall we go in?" None King worried about being followed, simply kicked the door open.
Bam!
Swish!
As the door was kicked open, mechanisms immediately flew out!
Three sharp arrow feathers shot straight at None King’s face!
"Watch out!" The Emperor Blood Soul instantly transformed into blood, spreading on the ground.
Relying on this bodily advantage, he escaped danger countless times.
This ability to morph at will also made him more agile, attacking unpredictably.
None King reached out with both hands, firmly grasping two of the arrow feathers!
The deceleration was too sudden; he had no way to dodge, so he gritted his teeth and bit onto an arrow.
"The arrows might be poisoned!" The Emperor Blood Soul reminded him, worried None King might die; if None King died, he couldn’t find the Treasure Bead, nor could he contend with Julius Reed and the others.
"It’s fine!" None King tossed the three arrows on the ground, a stern expression on his face, "Damn Nine Provinces King, how dare he set me up here!"
A traitor, once resolved to betray, harbors hatred for his original master!
Especially since the Nine Provinces King was already dead.
He cursed without restraint.
"Come in!" None King said to the blood soul, stepping inside himself.
"Where is that thing."
He looked around; it seemed there was only that mechanical weapon.
The room was clean.
No dust whatsoever.
No sign of anyone entering.
Few people entered the second realm.
The Emperor Blood Soul did not enter.
He stood outside the door, feeling that things weren’t as simple as they seemed.
At this moment, the Emperor Blood Soul was even contemplating whether the information he had received was true or false.
He was always lurking in the shadows with a secret.
His body and his telekinesis were interconnected.
Whatever Silvio Reed was thinking about, the Emperor Blood Soul, if close enough, could sense it completely.
But Silvio Reed was entirely unaware.
Since Silvio Reed was unaware, this information should be true.
"Ah!"
Just as the Emperor Blood Soul hesitated, he heard a scream.
Following that, in his sight.
None King slowly floated into the air, his legs struggling in pain.
"What’s happening?" The Emperor Blood Soul felt uneasy, asking, but None King seemed too pained to speak.
It seemed he couldn’t speak either.
"No!"
None King shouted with all his might, uttering just one word.
Immediately after, his body erupted with unprecedented power!
Yet he was still suppressed.
Gradually, the Emperor Blood Soul clearly felt None King’s life force beginning to wane.
This signaled death!
The death of a Martial Artist follows a process.
Death is not instantaneous but rather slow.
Could it be...
The Emperor Blood Soul felt a chill all over.
He saw nothing, merely that None King was grabbed into the air and then died.
What on earth was inside!
He dared not think about it anymore, turned, and left.
The Emperor Blood Soul instantly dispersed himself, turning into a pool of blood, flowing into a corner.
Then quietly awaited.
Everything returned to silence.
As if nothing had happened.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
The Emperor Blood Soul pondered, as if...
He seemed to recall Jessica saying about the Three Cities that it might be...
A shrine?
To worship their deceased ancestors?
