Chapter 347: Tiandao Tower
The Long Blade stuck in the ground before him plunged Pan Zhen into silence.
He understood what Di Leina meant.
No matter what, he was destined to die today.
Either die under the charge of usurping power, or leave behind a clean name in death.
These all depended on his own choice.
It must be said, Leina had grown up, able to use such a strategy.
If the sovereign commands a subject to die, the subject... the subject...
"This old subject cannot die yet." Pan Zhen looked straight into Di Leina's eyes.
"Then this is treason, usurping power," Di Leina said in a calm tone.
"Since that is the case, then I will send you on your way."
Having said that, Di Leina pulled the Long Blade from the ground, and subsequently, the Long Blade emitted the same faint Blue Light Energy Shield as a Power Weapon.
The reason the Long Blade looked like this was naturally due to the modifications made by Ye Cang; it took only the time of a single breath to finish.
Pan Zhen was a Third Generation God Body; only a Power Weapon could kill him, or other methods, but for now, a Power Weapon was the simplest way.
Watching as Di Leina gripped the Long Blade and raised it high.
Pan Zhen let out a long sigh.
He was unwilling; his own Main God had been misled by an outsider, leading troops to invade Lieyang, yet he was unable to stop all of this and could only stretch out his neck to be slaughtered.
It seemed that only by revealing that secret could he reverse the overall situation.
If even that secret could not reverse it, then he...
Just as Di Leina's Long Blade was falling, Pan Zhen suddenly spoke up.
"Stop, Leina."
"I think there is a secret that it is time for me to tell you; this secret concerns the foundation of Lieyang."
Following these words, the Long Blade stopped at Pan Zhen's neck.
Although it did not take Pan Zhen's life, it still left a wound on his neck.
"What secret?" Di Leina frowned.
The current Di Leina did not trust Pan Zhen, but when it came to a secret concerning the foundation of Lieyang, she had to believe him.
She was the Main God of Lieyang, and protecting Lieyang was her duty; this was a fact that would never change, no matter when.
"Do you see the Tiandao Tower?" Pan Zhen stretched out his finger and pointed at the high tower behind the Lieyang Imperial Palace.
Di Leina nodded.
"I see it; you never let me go in, nor would you let me manage it; only you alone can enter and exit the Tiandao Tower."
Pan Zhen stood up and faced the Tiandao Tower.
"That is indeed the case, but now you can go in, and you are about to know the greatest secret of my Lieyang."
As he spoke, Pan Zhen looked at Ye Cang.
"Di Leina's king, is it? Hehehe." Pan Zhen's tone was full of mockery.
But Ye Cang did not take it to heart.
Pan Zhen's ending had long been determined; this was an unchangeable ending, so what if he let him talk big?
Even if Di Hongkun were there, it could not be changed, because the key to changing the ending lay with Di Leina, yet he ignored that directly.
"I want to take Leina to the Tiandao Tower once; can you give me this opportunity? Of course, you can follow as well; I, Pan Zhen, still have some self-awareness and will not make any excessive demands."
To this, Ye Cang did not refuse.
"You may go to the Tiandao Tower, but not only will I follow, Kaisha must also follow."
"Very well." Pan Zhen agreed directly without hesitation.
The next second, Kaisha in energy-saving mode flapped her little wings and flew down from the Space Fortress, arriving at Ye Cang's side.
"Ha! I'm here!"
Not noticing the current situation, Kaisha acted cute toward Ye Cang.
But Ye Cang raised his hand and pointed behind her.
Kaisha turned around and saw Pan Zhen and Di Leina standing there; her expression froze instantly.
Damn!
There were outsiders!
It was over; how had her face as the Angel King been lost so muddledly?
She had lost all face!
Kaisha's little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She was currently incredibly embarrassed.
She wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl right into it.
"Ahem!" Kaisha coughed lightly, attempting to ease her embarrassment.
"There are other people, and you didn't even say a word!" Kaisha said with feigned composure, then ran away without looking back.
A moment later.
Kaisha had returned to her original state, coming back with a cold and aloof expression.
It was as if what had just happened had never occurred.
Seeing this, Ye Cang said: "Let's go, Pan Zhen."
Pan Zhen did not speak, leading Di Leina toward the direction of the Tiandao Tower.
What? Pan Zhen would run away?
Kaisha, who was following by Ye Cang's side, expressed that she felt much like a mere ornament.
Even if her energy was not quite sufficient, suppressing a Pan Zhen was still very easy!
On the way to Tiandao Tower, Ye Cang lifted the energy seal on Kaisha and pulled her into his own communication channel.
"Kaisha, do you have a method to suppress a Spirit Body?"
"I do!" Kaisha answered truthfully, "But, why do you need a method to suppress a Spirit Body?"
"What? Did you hear that Karl is living in Tiandao Tower? Hmm... if that's the case, I suggest..."
Before Kaisha could offer her suggestion, Ye Cang interrupted her.
"There is no Karl in Tiandao Tower, but there is a Spirit Body named Di Hongkun; I am afraid that Di Hongkun's Spirit Body might use some kind of trick later."
"Oh~" Kaisha's tone was somewhat surprised. "Di Hongkun actually turned into a Spirit Body."
"A little surprised, but not too much."
"You don't need to worry; ordinary Spirit Bodies don't have much lethality and can only exist purely, unless it is a Spirit Body like Karl's."
When she reached this point, Kaisha raised a question.
"Tell me, why don't you cut the Gordian knot and just finish off Pan Zhen? Why agree to let him take Di Leina to Tiandao Tower? You are undoubtedly padding another chapter by doing this!"
"I am not padding," Ye Cang said, glancing at Di Leina and Pan Zhen ahead.
At this moment, the two were walking one after the other; neither spoke, both just walking in silence.
After confirming there were no issues, Ye Cang continued: "The reason I am doing this is to eliminate hidden dangers."
"I don't want Di Leina to give me a Great Birthday Celebration later; that would truly be a massive headache."
The three words "Great Birthday Celebration" left Kaisha with a head full of question marks.
How did this get tied to some birthday celebration?
It was obvious she did not understand the meme of the Great Birthday Celebration.
The Great Birthday Celebration is something a certain golden big guy experienced personally.
Simply put, the golden big guy had a "good son" named Horus.
One day, this "good son" Horus rebelled, and together with his eight brothers, they cut out the golden big guy's kidney.
They even made a famous dish along the way called Shengjiliesi canned meat; as for the taste, no one knows.
As for what Di Leina has to do with this matter.
It is probably like this.
If one were to cut the Gordian knot and finish off Pan Zhen to resolve everything.
Then later on, who knows when Di Leina might find out through some channel that her grandfather is living in Tiandao Tower.
