I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible-Chapter 87 - The Evil King’s Attack
Chapter 87: The Evil King’s Attack
The Evil King secretly left the Evil King’s Palace and went to Chu County in the Great Qin Dynasty’s territory in person.
With his strength, no one would notice him leaving.
Moreover, the Evil King had a bad temper and liked to kill people. If there was nothing to report, the servants preferred to hide far away and would not dare to trouble the Evil King.
Therefore, after the Evil King told them that he did not want to be disturbed, the servants were overjoyed.
During this period, even if there was an urgent matter, the servants would not dare to disturb the Evil King. They would instead hand the matter over to the other higher-ups of the evil imperial court to handle.
The higher-ups of the evil imperial court were aware of the Evil King’s bad temper. Therefore, they could understand the servants’ behavior.
Given the Evil King’s strength, as long as he did not encounter Qin Keyun, no one would be able to defeat him.
Furthermore, in order to successfully complete his plan, and to prevent his plans for the Chu family from being uncovered, the Evil King disguised himself and avoided crowded and public places.
Furthermore, he only moved at night.
The reason why he was being so cautious was so that he could avoid the detection of the Black Moon Tower’s intelligence network.
He knew very well that the Black Moon Tower was constantly paying attention to him. They wanted to sell information regarding his whereabouts and plans to others for a high price.
Of course, the Black Moon Tower did not only pay attention to the Evil King. Their list of high-priority tracking targets included the Great Qian Dynasty’s ruler, the Great Qin Empress, and many other characters of note.
Everyone’s priority was equal and balanced. With the Black Moon Tower’s attention split, the Evil King’s heart was much more calm.
......
The various faction leaders in the Southern Region and famous experts were all on the Black Moon Tower’s watchlist.
Hence, the most important thing for anyone who wanted to do something secretly was to avoid the Black Moon Tower’s spies. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
If they discovered the Black Moon Tower’s spies, when necessary, they would kill them off immediately to avoid exposing their whereabouts.
Although the Black Moon Tower was powerful, these were only spies. If the spies were discovered, they could kill them.
This was within the rules of the cultivation world. The Black Moon Tower did not dare to offend the masses over the deaths of their spies.
No matter how powerful the Black Moon Tower was, once they offended the masses, they would not be able to withstand the backlash.
After all, the Black Moon Tower did play by the rules, so if their intelligence personnel were exposed and killed by the experts they were monitoring, they had no choice but to accept it.
Although the Black Moon Tower’s intelligence gathering capability was extremely powerful, it was not omnipotent. It was not capable of getting its hands on every piece of intelligence out there.
If an expert truly wanted to hide their tracks, it would not be easy to investigate their movements.
The Evil King moved forward and soon arrived at the Purple Moon County.
He was not far from Chu County now.
He did not make any moves along the way to avoid any possible exposing himself.
After arriving at Chu County, the Evil King did not head to the Chu family’s territory immediately.
Instead, he collected information about the Chu family, especially investigating if there were hidden experts or if there was a possibility of an ambush.
Even though the Evil King was very confident in his own strength, he still needed to be cautious.
He was not invincible in the Southern Region.
The Great Qin Empress was not someone he could deal with.
After a few days of investigation, he confirmed that there was no possibility of an ambush in Chu County, and that there were no hidden experts.
There were not even any unity realm experts in the Chu family’s territory.
The Chu family seemed to have become withdrawn and had entered a dormant period, seemingly very low-key.
Compared to their arrogance when they were annihilating the heretic cult, the current Chu family was unsettlingly quiet and seemed to be doing their best not to attract any attention.
The Evil King felt that it probably had something to do with the Chu family being excluded from the core of the Great Qin Dynasty’s affairs.
“Since the Great Qin Dynasty has ostracized your Chu family, then you should come and join my evil imperial court.”
The Evil King smiled coldly.
As night fell, the Evil King set off toward the Chu family’s territory.
He had personally come this time to secretly take control of the Chu family. Moving at night made it easier for him to conceal his actions.
The Chu family was a very important piece. Once he successfully took control of them, it would be the same as planting a hidden piece in the Great Qin Dynasty. If he was successful, he would be able to backstab the Great Qin Dynasty at any time.
…
Ding Yue and Su Xian’er were both cultivating diligently inside the universe space.
Ding Yue’s sword intent had grown especially strong, and the image of his childhood sweetheart in his heart had already become very blurry.
It would not be long before he completely forgot his childhood sweetheart.
He would no longer think about her and would no longer be distracted by her. He could wholeheartedly devote himself to the cultivation of the way of the sword.
As the thoughts of missing his childhood sweetheart grew fainter and fainter, Ding Yue found that his focus on the way of the sword was also becoming stronger and stronger.
He increasingly felt that his master’s teachings were correct. If he wanted to cultivate the Supreme Sword, he had to truly forget about his sweetheart.
While he was trying his best to break through the first stage of the way of the sword, Ding Yue had also made preparations to break through the second stage as well.
He carved a wooden figure and placed it where Su Xian’er was cultivating. Every now and then, he would look over.
When was the first person he paid attention to not Su Xian’er, but the wooden figure, it would mean that he had made progress in the second stage of the way of the sword.
Su Xian’er’s facial expression was dark the entire time. Ding Yue, this rascal, was determined to be a single dog.
Was he using her to temper his state of mind to break through the second stage of the way of the sword? Since that was the case, then she could not be blamed for being ruthless.
Su Xian’er held a long whip and flung it, wrapping Ding Yue up. She directly threw him high into the air and gave him a fierce beating.
I’ll give you a beating every day. I’d like to see if you’ll end up staring warily at me first, or to look at the wooden figure first.
Ding Yue sadly realized that, after getting beaten up, he had become wary of Su Xian’er and was angry at her at the same time.
Every time he looked at Su Xian’er, he would subconsciously look at Su Xian’er. Only after that did he realize that he wanted to look at the wooden figure first.
The second stage was too difficult. Every time he was distracted, he would be disturbed by external things. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
However, Ding Yue was not discouraged. Instead, he became even more determined.
Every day, Chu Xuan would use the Myriad Heavenly Mirror to connect to a random place, occasionally deceiving the people he met.
However, he did not encounter any experts, therefore his hopes of deceiving another expert fell through.
When night fell, Chu Xuan yawned and was about to go back to his room to sleep.
With his strength, he actually did not need to sleep. However, he was already used to it. He would look at the spirit cultivating diagram to cultivate the power of his divine soul before slowly falling asleep.
This was part of his daily life.
Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared outside the Chu family’s territory.
A half-step Emperor realm expert!
It was a half-step Emperor realm powerhouse. Although the intruder was much weaker than Qin Keyun, he was much stronger than Song Yiming.
He had almost touched the threshold of the Emperor realm.
If the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Southern Region were restored, the other party would have a chance of breaking through to the Emperor realm.
A half-step Emperor realm powerhouse was already considered one of the foremost experts in the Southern Region. Why did this person come to the Chu family’s territory?
What did he want to do?
Moreover, there was an evil power hidden inside the body of the person who came. He was undoubtedly a heretic cultivator.
A heretic cultivator who was a half-step Emperor realm expert...
An absurd thought appeared in Chu Xuan’s mind. Could this guy be the Evil King of the evil imperial court?
Was he here to deal with the Chu family personally?
However, from his current actions, it seemed that he did not intend to kick up a big fuss here. It seemed that he did not want to destroy the Chu family, but instead had other plans for them.
Given the Evil King’s strength, even if he did kick up a big fuss here, he would still be able to safely escape back to the evil imperial court.
After all, in the entirety of the Great Qin Dynasty, besides Qin Keyun, no one was his match.
In addition, Qin Keyun was too far away from Chu County.
By the time she received news of his presence here, he would have long fled.
Therefore, seeing that the Evil King was behaving so carefully and suspiciously, there had to be other motives behind his visit. The truth of the matter was, he wanted to secretly control the Chu family.
