Upon swearing friendship to each other and cementing a true alliance, the last traces of estrangement between the group faded away. Even Lu Yun felt something new blossom in his heart.
âIn that case, I wonât keep it from you guys anymore. Iâm not actually a secluded disciple of the Inception Palaceââ
âShut up!â Everyone tensed. âFrom now on, you are a secluded disciple of the Inception Palace to everyone we meet!â
âDonât worry, secluded disciples are special,â You Huoran quickly followed up. âEven ordinary Inception disciples might not be able to tell who you really are! Therefore, you are exactly what youâve been telling everyone all along!â
Some of the group had nursed suspicions about Lu Yunâs identity for a while, but theyâd never openly brought it up. His voluntary candor set aside their last concerns about this mysterious stranger.
You Huoran was a secluded disciple of Opposition Palace and knew how the system operated. Thus, he spoke on basis of great authority when he told Lu Yun to continue as is. Lu Yunâs name was also too closely tied with Inception Palace anyway, and almost everyone knew of him.
If word came out now that he was a fake, Inception Palace would be the first to call for Lu Yunâs head and send everything in their power after him.
As it were, the palace hadnât addressed the rampant rumors of secluded disciple Lu Yun in the Tomb of Heaven and Earth. This was the greatest proof that they themselves didnât know who Lu Yun was.
A secluded disciple who could deploy the power of inception was the perfect cover.
As for how Lu Yun could use the power of inception when he wasnât one of their disciples⊠that was one of his secrets; the others didnât care to pry. All they knew was that heâd risked his life to save Li Xue in the zombie flood and taken point for the group every single time. That was all they needed to know.
âAlright then!â Touched, Lu Yun went along with the plan.
âFrom now on, we are the Six Royals, the Six Royals of the chaos!â Having recovered from Jushanâs death, Wang Shu smiled widely.
âThe Six Royals?â Lu Yunâs eyes widened. There were also stories of the Six Royals on Earth. By now, he could no longer tell where the legends and myths of Earth came from. Did they originate from the world of immortals, or this dead mythological realm?
âSince weâve sworn friendship and become true fellow daoists, then we should always help each other. If the final opportunity isnât ours, weâll take it for ourselves! If it belongs to one of us, then the other five will protect and guard it with our lives!â Lu Yun asserted.
âRight!â
âAs things should be!â
âŠâŠ
They were all here for treasures and opportunities. They would take it if it wasnât theirs, and they would guard it if it was!
Now as the âSix Royalsâ, the six made their moves in unison, no trace of worry or concern to be found. Lu Yun suddenly found himself understanding the six prodigals more. They advanced and retreated as one, always supporting each other. Even if one of them offended a dao immortal, the rest would fling themselves forward without a beat of hesitation.
âSo this is that corpseâŠâ They abruptly came to a halt.
There was a body the size of a mountain in front of them, still five hundred thousand kilometers away but fully visible to their eyes becauseâŠ
It was huge.
At least tens of thousands of kilometers tall, she sat cross-legged with her head drooped down, as if sheâd fallen asleep. However, there was no ripple of life to be found anywhere on her body.
She was an extraordinarily good looking woman, elegant and poised, but also demurely refreshing.
âThis is the master whoâs exceeded the chaos!â Sharp breaths could be heard among the group.
âThe killing intent comes from the sword over her head!â gasped Ying Luo.
A sword was inserted into the top of the womanâs headâthe instrument of her death.
Lu Yun narrowed his eyes when he saw the sword and called upon the Spectral Eye, searching for more information. However, she was so strong that she exceeded the limits of what he could read.
Zhao Qing was in the same position as her when she died! Lu Yunâs heart trembled.
Daughter of the Exalted Divine Emperor, Zhao Qing, was Lu Yunâs tenth Yama King and the strongest one. Her death had always been a mystery. Itâd been Diexi whoâd landed the fatal blow, but she hadnât seemed to be in full control of her body then.
As the treasured pearl of the divines, Zhao Qing had exceeded even her father and it was only a matter of time before she reached chaos realm. However, something had come for her once her father died.
This mysterious womanâs method of death sent Lu Yunâs mind into disarray. Heâd always viewed the chaos creatures as his enemy, but it was more than apparent that they werenât capable of this featânot even if they hailed from the six sacred palaces.
âLook over there, someoneâs fighting!â Wei Yuan pointed at the air next to the woman. Many figures clashed against each other, struggling to lay claim to something. They were all sixth level mortal realm, the strongest experts on the scene.
âItâs that sword⊠theyâre fighting over that sword. If they can pull it out of her head, theyâll obtain her approval and = heritage!â Li Xue said quietly.
The woman had died to the sword and continued to suffer its torment even in death. She would be released if the sword was removed, and her inheritance naturally belonging to whoever accomplished the deed.
âLetâs head over as well!â The group couldnât sit still, not with the opportunity to ascend beyond the chaos right in front of them.
âHold on!â Lu Yun stopped them. Ying Luo was the first to pause and looked quizzically at him.
âWhat is it?â the others asked as well.
âTo seek a dragon of mountains coiled, those deathly cliffs with mysteries roiled.
âDanger shies if mountains hide, layouts of death do hidden ghosts bide!â
Hummmm.
Lu Yun opened his arms wide as a tiny curtain of light formed in front of him.
Gone was the elegantly regal woman. An enormous zombie covered with green fur sat in her place, staring at the living beings around it with eyes dripping of corpsewater. Saliva pooled from its lips!
The sword was still there, but now it seemed more like a seal that kept the zombie firmly in place. If it was removed, the zombie would regain its freedom and go on a dreadful rampage! Even sovereigns wouldnât be its match, much less mortal realm beings.
âWhat the heck?!â It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.
âAn illusion! A fucking zombie thatâs mastered illusions!â Lu Yun spat out through grit teeth. âWhat we need to do isnât to pull out the sword, but to prevent others from pulling it out. If itâs removed, all of us in the tomb will die!â
