Chapter 1986
"If there is such an opportunity, 70% certainty."
Su Xiao had imagined many ways for the old Holy King to deal with the Moon Goddess, but he didn't expect the other party to use such a direct method.
"Is that so? It seems that saving you out at the beginning was the right choice."
The old Holy King changed the subject, didn't mention the plan just now, and began to talk about the theft of the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue.
After talking for more than an hour, Su Xiao left the flower room. Through some information revealed by the old Holy King, he learned one thing: this old guy wanted to kill the Moon Goddess in a short time, and the specific plan was temporarily unknown.
It was not a frontal attack. If the old Holy King did that, Su Xiao would have drawn his sword and slashed the old Holy King just now, because the old Holy King who made such a stupid choice was likely controlled by others.
A long-prepared plan of the old Holy King was about to begin. As for the details of the plan, the old Holy King didn't reveal it for the time being.
Su Xiao just returned to the residence, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran towards him.
"Woof."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's expression was a bit anxious.
"Confirm the authenticity of this intelligence?"
"Woof (Very certain, that woman said it herself)."
"Sure enough, that side can't sit still either."
Su Xiao learned an important piece of intelligence from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang: the Moon Goddess bribed an assassin from the Lodan Empire, preparing to assassinate the old Holy King. Emotionally, the Moon Goddess was waiting for the old Holy King here. The Lodan Empire just took the blame. If an assassin from that country came to assassinate the old Holy King, this was very reasonable.
The assassin who was highly expected by the Moon Goddess, her combat power could be imagined. Don't forget one point: the Moon God she believed in was not a non-existent existence, and it was very likely to give her help in some aspects.
The relationship between the Dawn Empire and the Simolo Empire had just stabilized, and the confrontation between the old Holy King and the Moon Goddess immediately fell into a white-hot stage.
"Assassination..."
Su Xiao felt that the Moon Goddess would not just be a simple assassination, and there might be many follow-up moves waiting. Don't forget, the other party could foresee the future. Although it was not clear to what extent that ability was powerful, even if it could only foresee for a moment, it was also a very remarkable ability.
Although Su Xiao was on the side of the old Holy King, he knew one thing: whether it was the old Holy King or the Moon Goddess, as long as they decided the winner, no matter who won, the one to deal with later must be himself. This point was beyond doubt. The Ninth Unit was a lesson from the past. Talk about old feelings with those in power? Talk about how many achievements you have made? Wash and sleep.
Su Xiao's ultimate goal was only one, which was to complete the Awakening Mission. At present, the Awakening Mission was stuck on killing Earth Dragon - Tamen.
Or rather, while the old Holy King won, what he should really worry about was whether the sword in Su Xiao's hand would cut off his head.
"More and more interesting."
Su Xiao lit a cigarette. Just after exhaling a puff of blue smoke, a bell rang. It was the sound of the Imperial Bell. One sound was the Moon Goddess Blessing Day, two sounds were the Imperial Celebration Day, and three sounds were the enemy country invading.
Ding... ding... ding... ding... ding!
After five sounds of the Imperial Bell resounded through the imperial capital, the entire empire fell into dead silence. Not long after, Su Xiao vaguely heard crying.
Five sounds of the Imperial Bell represented the passing of the Holy King!
Su Xiao had met the old Holy King in the morning, and this public form of bell ringing meant that the old Holy King did not die by accident.
Su Xiao took Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Baja, and the little adjutant and hurried out of the residence, heading straight for Lulunfei Palace.
On the streets he passed along the way, Su Xiao saw a large number of civilians and troops.
When Su Xiao arrived in front of Lulunfei Palace, the place was covered with white flowers. Countless soldiers and imperial officials knelt on one knee, their right arms clenched into fists and bent in front of their chests. Their expressions were heavy, and some even shed tears.
Su Xiao walked through the path covered with white flowers on both sides and headed straight for the auditorium in the middle and back of Lulunfei Palace according to the direction of the crowd.
Stone pillars stood in front of the auditorium, and the sound of crying was endless.
"King, why did you leave us? This morning, this morning you were still..."
The financial officer knelt in the auditorium, his nose and tears flowing, his acting skills were explosive. The old Holy King had vaguely mentioned to Su Xiao before that he was preparing to clean up the financial officer.
The financial officer cried messily on the surface, but in his heart, he must be laughing three times and roaring: "Old thing, you finally died."
And those who were truly sad were not absent. King Sword - Shuster was heartbroken. He stood upright inside the auditorium gate, the veins on his hand holding the sword hilt bulging.
"Shuster, the cause of the Holy King's death."
"Illness, his physical condition... could not hold on for a long time."
King Sword - Shuster nodded to Su Xiao. This guy was a clear stream among the many officials around the old Holy King. He could live until now only because of one point: loyalty, and his brain was actually not very good. Otherwise, some things should be done by him, not Su Xiao.
King Sword - Shuster wiped his tears and looked at the crystal coffin inside the auditorium. The old Holy King was lying inside.
Su Xiao stepped to the crystal coffin. This coffin was only fifty centimeters deep, and patterns were carved on the surface.
Su Xiao looked at the old Holy King in the crystal coffin. At this time, the old Holy King's face was waxy yellow, his hands were placed flat on his chest, he was wearing white clothes, and white flowers were spread under him.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, or who was looking for death, a small white flower stood on the old Holy King's ear, looking like the old Holy King's ear was pinching a small flower. The sad atmosphere suddenly became happy. The little adjutant on the side had a distorted expression, wanted to laugh, but didn't dare.
Metal wires popped out from Su Xiao's cuffs. He kicked the little adjutant's calf. The little adjutant blocked him with a funny and distorted expression.
After blocking everyone's sight, the metal wires in Su Xiao's hand popped out and wrapped around the old Holy King's neck.
Blood stopped flowing, cells were gradually necrotic, all organs stopped working, and the nervous system was also necrotic rapidly.
This physical condition indicated that the old Holy King was indeed dead, and his cause of death was not suspicious. The heart was already overloaded, and there were three supernatural items inside. Without these three things, the old Holy King could have died of heart and lung failure long ago.
Su Xiao always felt that this old guy died incredibly. Such a character, just died like that?
I don't know if it was an illusion, Su Xiao always felt that this old guy would sit up in shock from his dying illness and suddenly come back to life.
What made Su Xiao feel even more wrong was that the Moon Goddess didn't show up. Even if the two sides were fighting, it was really unreasonable not to show up at this time.
The Moon Goddess didn't want to come, nor did she not know this "good news," but she simply didn't have time.
At this time, the scene in the Moon Goddess Monastery was very similar to Lulunfei Palace. All Moon Apostles were kneeling on the ground.
Directly above the Moon Goddess Monastery, a huge phantom floated here. The phantom was humanoid, conservatively estimated to be more than 200 meters high. The image was no different from the Moon Goddess statue. The Moon Goddess, descended!
Many believers knelt in the courtyard, and the Moon Goddess was at the forefront. She felt very bad at this time, very bad. The crisis of hair standing on end filled her heart. The Goddess should not, and could not descend, because... the Moon Goddess had fallen, and the current Moon God was not the Goddess.
