YM778.TV Chapter 73: Chapter 73 - The Fish That Slipped Through the Net
In the magnificent royal palace of the Yin Kingdom, the decor is lavish.
While most of it is made of gold rather than spiritual stones, sacred springs, or valuable cultivation minerals like those found in the palaces of the Five Dynasties, in the context of the Land of the Hundred Kingdoms, these decorations are considered extremely luxurious.
Inside the palace, sitting on the throne, was a young man.
Instead of donning a golden python robe like emperors typically do, the young man wore a red robe with golden stripes, exuding a terrifying aura.
Upon closer inspection, one could notice that, by his side, serving him as if he were a mere eunuch, stood a middle-aged man with a majestic appearance, dressed in a golden robe that represented the King himself.
In front of them, numerous female dancers moved sensually, and the middle-aged man couldn\'t help but clench his fists secretly as he watched.
He had ordered that these dancers be trained for his own entertainment, and now they were dancing this seductively for another man!
It was as if they were begging to please the young man.
Even in front of him, Yin Lunshe, the King of the Yin Kingdom, they didn\'t hesitate to dance ever more provocatively.
When one of the royal dancers sat on the young man\'s lap, Yin Lunshe\'s eyes seemed to burn with fury.
However, considering the young man\'s strength, he suppressed his anger as much as possible.
Because he knew that the young man before him was nothing less than a powerful Saint!
In his entire life, he had never even had the opportunity to witness a Royal Realm expert, let alone meet a powerful Saint in person!
Even the ancestors of the Yin Kingdom were only in the Divine Transformation Realm, and he himself was merely half a step into the Divine Transformation.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared in the palace, startling Yin Lunshe.
He had not sensed the man\'s presence at all with his divine sense. Even now, if he weren\'t seeing the man with his own eyes, he wouldn\'t have known someone was there.
\'Could this person be another Saint?\'
Yin Lunshe couldn\'t help but have this terrifying thought as cold sweat broke out, realizing that the young man\'s identity might be even more dreadful than he initially thought!
Naturally, the Land of the Hundred Kingdoms, being so weak and despised in the eastern region, had little contact with the major dynasties.
Otherwise, he would surely recognize the young man as the famous eighth prince of the Zhenfang Dynasty, the greatest genius in the history of the region, who had disappeared five months ago.
Many believed he had been secretly killed by the Yushan Dynasty, while others thought the Zhenfang Dynasty had hidden him to avoid the spotlight.
This person was, of course, Song Yang, who, upon finally emerging from seclusion, realized that several months had passed since he began his retreat, and many things had transpired during that time.
First, he discovered that his plan to incite an open war among the Five Dynasties had not succeeded, at least not yet, as the Eastern Region\'s genius competition had yet to begin.
Second, he discovered that, due to the Shura Palace\'s refusal to obey the decree of the Black Tortoise Sacred Land, they had begun using the same strategy as the Heavenly Sword Sect, which involved setting traps during assassinations.
As a result, dozens of Shura Palace assassins had been killed in these traps.
Naturally, Shi Hu, who was in command, did not let this go unpunished and sent assassins to eliminate elders from the Black Tortoise Sacred Land.Since everything was done in secret, after these events, the two forces reached a stalemate.
When Song Yang learned of this, he was furious and nearly decided to destroy the Black Tortoise Sacred Land.
However, after careful consideration, he realized it would be more prudent to wait. After all, the strength of the Black Tortoise Sacred Land was immense.
Even if he sent the entire Shadow Demon Legion and the Blood Moon Army, he wasn\'t certain if he could destroy a Sacred Land, especially one that had existed for thousands of years and might possess unknown trump cards.
After all, even if a Grand Saint were dispatched, there was no guarantee they could destroy a Sacred Land.
"Master, we\'ve located him," Shi Hu said, disguised as a human, as he reported to Song Yang.
"Finally, I\'ve found that little fish that slipped through the net."
Hearing this, Song Yang interrupted his thoughts and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Then, with a snap of his fingers, he casually tossed a spatial ring to each dancer as a reward for their entertainment.
When they saw the rewards, the dancers couldn\'t help but jump with joy. In addition to two strange tokens, there were also some sacred springs, which are legendary treasures in the eastern region.
It\'s said that even a kingdom like the Yin Kingdom doesn\'t have a sacred spring in its royal treasury. If it did, it would be a supreme treasure for the dynasty!
Suddenly, Yin Lunshe felt Song Yang\'s gaze upon him, and he couldn\'t help but tremble, collapsing to the ground in fear, thinking, \'Is he going to kill me?\'
However, what followed was the slightly ironic voice of Song Yang:
"Also, thank you for the hospitality, Your Majesty."
"I felt right at home."
Upon hearing this, Yin Lunshe could barely stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.
To begin with, Song Yang had arrived in his kingdom, forced him to submit to his power, and treated him like a servant.
He even made his own dancers perform for him. And if he dared to refuse, he would probably be killed!
Now, as he was leaving, Song Yang still had the audacity to say he felt at home. Thinking about this, Yin Lunshe couldn\'t help but be speechless.
"It is an honor that Your Excellency visited my humble kingdom and stayed here."
Hearing this, Song Yang couldn\'t help but chuckle lightly. Before finally disappearing along with Shi Hu, he said:
"Since it\'s an honor, I\'ll be sure to come back one day to enjoy this hospitality again. Haha."
