Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 339 Hatching the King
While waiting for the reply from the Jiang family, Xu Shen thought of Hei Xue.
If he interferes in the Jiang family's affairs, he will inevitably face the possibility of fighting with other families. If Hei Xue can come back to him, his strength will increase again.
Now his whereabouts are not hidden, but Hei Xue has not found him for such a long time. Xu Shen is a little worried that something has happened to her.
He immediately released his ability and threw out the blood of the Sea Duke as a guide.
The blood flew forward, but turned sharply and then rushed to the other side.
Xu Shen immediately left the Hall of Light and followed the blood drops.
It didn't take long for Xu Shen to realize something was wrong.
The direction the blood drops flew was actually the inner city.
Kuroyuki ran to the inner city?
To find food... or to avoid the queen?
Xu Shen frowned. No wonder Kuroxue hadn’t come to see him for so long. She might not know that her “brother” had been resurrected.
"Inner City..."
Xu Shen stared at the towering city walls in front of him. Many memories emerged in his mind. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp cold light flashed across them.
It seems that in addition to the Jiang family's affairs, it is also necessary for me to go to the inner city in the near future.
To put some things to an end.
Instead of tracking Hei Xue, Xu Shen chose to track the Night Rat King. If he could find another legendary weapon before helping the Jiang family, his combat effectiveness would be enhanced to a stronger level.
Drops of blood flew out, but went straight towards the inner city.
Xu Shen couldn't help but be stunned. The Night Rat King was also in the inner city?
Is this guy going to the inner city to ask for help?
But as the king of the bottom city, he is not welcome in the inner city... Is this guy going to use the news about the legendary soldiers to recruit people again?
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows. The Night Rat King was very good at treasure hunting and it was really easy for him to convince some kings.
However, this time the fight with the queen ant lasted for several months, and Xu Shen had gained a lot of experience in fighting against kings. Even if the Night Rat King found other kings to help, Xu Shen was not too worried.
Except for monsters like the queen ant, other kings would not be so difficult to deal with.
Xu Shen did not continue tracking , but returned to the Hall of Light.
In the following time, while dealing with trivial matters, he was also establishing and improving the new order.
At the same time, in his spare time every day, Xu Shen would practice the secret techniques of overlapping waves and rising sea moon.
The third stage of both secret techniques is just one step away from completion.
With the Queen Ant as a lesson, Xu Shen did not underestimate the abilities of other kings. Relying on the invincible nature of time, the Queen Ant did not care about the abilities of others or the improvement of minor details.
But Xu Shen rose from obscurity and was particularly concerned about improving his combat effectiveness, so any improvement would be a plus.
Although these two secret techniques are of little significance to him now, if something limits his ability and he can only rely on his own fighting skills, the effect of these secret techniques will be reflected.
The other side.
Xue Mei came to the Jiang family in the inner city with Xu Shen's letter.
The Jiang family is located in the Huaishui district of the inner city.
"Inner City" is a general term for the inner city in the bottom city, but in fact the inner city is not a simple small city, but an extremely vast giant city that contains many cities!
There are thousands of small towns, dozens of large cities, and vast wastelands in the inner city.
Huaishui City is one of the prosperous cities in the inner city. It is well-known in the inner city, similar to the Nightingale District of Ant City.
And this is also the headquarters of the Jiang family.
Xue Mei came to Huaishui City and looked at the prosperous scenes along the way. He couldn't help but feel confused. How could this look like a city in decline at all?
The streets are spotlessly clean, surrounded by well-renovated buildings, and densely distributed churches, hospitals, etc. Standing on any street and looking at any scenery, you can feel the ancient and prosperous majesty and power of this city.
Perhaps, this is what they mean by a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
He came to the Jiang family's mansion.
This place is located in the core area of Huaishui City. Even the so-called wealthy are not qualified to set foot here. It is a great honor to be able to settle down around here.
The manor is extremely vast and is built on a mountain. The entire mountain belongs to the Jiang family.
Xue Mei came to the main gate, paid a visit and explained his purpose.
Upon hearing this, the guard reported the news inside. Not long after, a smartly dressed young man came and led Xue Mei into the manor.
The young man asked Xue Mei to wait in the reception room. Soon, a person who seemed to be a senior manager of the Jiang family arrived and said to Xue Mei, "I heard that you came here on the orders of the king. Which king is it?"
"Our city lord has not yet been granted the title of king. He has just succeeded to the throne of Baiyi City, which has now been renamed Guangming City. He specially asked me to deliver a letter to the noble Miss Jiang Yueli." Xue Mei put down his teacup, stood up and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Succession to the Termite City?"
The middle-aged manager obviously knew that Baiyi City, one of the eight major cities, had been succeeded, and even the name of the city had been changed. This kind of succession... was obviously robbery.
The king had a long lifespan and it was rare for him to pass on the throne.
Usually being pushed aside by another king.
After all, the king's offspring may not necessarily become king, and it may even be difficult for them to become a second-generation king. Even if the throne is passed on to his offspring, it is difficult for a mere second-generation king to suppress a city.
"Looking for that tricky girl Yue Li..." The middle-aged man frowned slightly and asked, "Yue Li had been training outside Baiyi City before. Did she offend your city lord? If so, I apologize to you on behalf of this girl."
Xue Mei shook his head slightly. Although Xu Shen didn't tell him in detail, he knew a little about it.
"My city lord is an old friend of Miss Jiang, and he just wanted to invite her to a gathering."
"Old friend?"
The middle-aged man was stunned, his eyes widened slightly. Jiang Yueli’s friend became a king?
"Well, Yue Li is not very convenient right now, how about I pass this letter on for you?" The middle-aged man's attitude was obviously much kinder, and he smiled and said to Xue Mei: "May I know the name of your city lord?"
"Xu."
Xue Mei thought for a moment and said, "You can pass it on. I hope Miss Yueli can reply as soon as possible after reading it."
"I'll let her know."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You have come from a long way and are exhausted. You can rest here tonight. I will ask someone to arrange the best accommodation for you..."
"Sorry, that's not necessary. I have official business to attend to. Please be sure to hand this letter to Miss Jiang." Xue Mei said seriously.
"Don't worry, I will pass it to her." The middle-aged man said with a smile, and did not continue to try to keep Xue Mei.
After all, the other party was from Dicheng, and those who lived in the inner city had a natural impression of Dicheng people as being dirty and messy, with germs crawling all over their bodies. Even eating at the same table with them would make people want to vomit, let alone staying to rest.
At that time, all the sheets that Xue Mei had slept on will be destroyed directly, and the bed that he had slept on will also be dismantled and thrown away.
After seeing Xue Mei off, the middle-aged man looked at the letter in his hand, thought for a while, and immediately found the current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Mingze.
"You said that the friend Yueli met in Dicheng has become a king now? He also invited Yueli to a party?" Jiang Mingze was a little stunned and surprised when he heard the middle-aged man's report.
The Jiang family is in a very bad situation now, and all the major families are eyeing this piece of fat meat.
As the saying goes, when a whale dies, all living things come to life. Other families also want to take a bite of the flesh and blood of this old giant whale to nourish themselves.
But will they just sit there and wait for death?
Now, the entire Jiang family has entered the stage of preparing for war, and the war preparation plan that once took everyone's time to think about has been implemented.
The Jiang family is making all-out preparations for stockpiling food, making weapons, and training a king.
At this time, if we could invite another king to come to our aid, it would undoubtedly be a timely help.
"Yes, I just checked the information about Dicheng. The Termite City has indeed been renamed, which has a huge impact. Many small and medium-sized forces stationed in that city have been implicated. This news is very sensational, but recently the Han family has been fighting too much with us, so we have no time to pay attention to the affairs of Dicheng." said the middle-aged man.
Jiang Mingze nodded and said, "Send someone to find out the details right away. By the way, do you know the other party's name?"
"It seems that he is a newly-promoted king. He doesn't have a code name yet. We only know his last name is Xu."
The middle-aged man finished speaking quickly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Master, that girl is now in the Nirvana stage. Should we notify her? If she dies, she may not help us anymore."
Jiang Mingze frowned and his eyes flickered.
At this moment, Jiang Yueli, like other core members of the Ghost Moon Team, is in the King Incubation Program.
They will all experience Nirvana!
If they cannot be reborn through Nirvana, they will die completely in this incubation plan.
The nine members of the Ghost Moon Team will see if they can hatch a king.
If you are unlucky, everyone may die.
But as long as one king emerges, it will be better than 90 second-level kings for the current situation of the Jiang family.
After all, the difference between the two states' influence and that of the king is too great.
In battles at the king level, it is even more difficult for the two states to intervene.
"Now is an extraordinary period. Although it is a great thing for us to have a new king as a friend, he is only a new king and cannot be compared with the old kings of other families."
Jiang Mingze thought about it again and again and shook his head and said, "Let Yue Li continue. After all, she has good qualifications and is likely to succeed in Nirvana. Besides, we don't know how close they are. Maybe after he was promoted to the king, he just wanted to show off to her. If he knew about the situation of our Jiang family, he might not intervene. That little bit of friendship is not worth mentioning in the face of interests."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly when he heard this. The king is ruthless, and as a royal family, they understand this deeply.
"What if that girl dies..." The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "Although she is more likely to succeed, the success rate is less than 5%. The probability of death is very high. Without her as a button to maintain the connection..."
Jiang Mingze didn't say anything, but opened the letter and took a quick look. He saw that it was indeed an invitation letter, inviting Jiang Yueli to a gathering in Dicheng.
"The other party seems to know the situation of the Jiang family and just wants to protect his friend..."
Jiang Mingze's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately saw the other party's intention. The letter only said that Jiang Yueli was invited to meet old friends in Dicheng, eat and drink and reminisce about the past, but the reminiscing about the past was fake, and the real intention was to pull the other party to seek refuge.
"The Jiang family is now facing a life-or-death situation, and no one can escape."
Jiang Mingze's eyes were cold. He folded the letter and put it away. He said, "If Yue Li succeeds in Nirvana, her friendship with the king will be more valued by the other party. If she invites him, the other party may be willing to come to fight and help."
"If she fails..."
Jiang Mingze's eyes were cold as he said, "Just say that it was someone from the Han family who assassinated her. It depends on whether her friend will be angry about her death."
The middle-aged man was stunned, his eyes shining slightly.
This is indeed a good idea, with higher returns than abandoning the incubation plan.
Death can actually contribute more to the family than living a mediocre life.
"Then this letter..."
"It depends on whether she can try hard enough. If she fails, there's no need to read it." Jiang Mingze put the letter away.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly upon hearing this, then turned around and left.
Time passes day by day.
In addition to daily practice, Xu Shen would occasionally come to the mysterious world to learn about the dynamics of the inner city.
"The Jiang family's core sequence disappeared. They must be making a final resistance. They took all of it to incubate the king." No. 2 told Xu Shen what he knew and his speculation, and then said: "During this period, there have been small frictions between the Jiang and Han families. It is estimated that it will break out soon."
