Chapter 241: The King's Call
"Rest assured, I have no reason to lie."
Lv Fang was calm and composed, not panicked in the slightest.
"Let's go!" After Song Ce scattered some powder in the surroundings, he exchanged a glance with Ji, and the two of them locked onto a direction and fled.
Lv Fang glanced at the powder, then followed them, lost in thought.
As they fled all the way toward the scorched earth region, Song Ce, who was in front, suddenly revealed a smile and said, "The place we were just at really did have Luo Sha Kingdom troops appear; he wasn't lying."
"That's good then." Ji looked back at Lv Fang, who was trailing far behind, and asked, "Can we trust him?"
"I don't know." Song Ce looked uncertain and said, "That isn't important to us. If he behaves himself, that's naturally for the best, but if he harbors ulterior motives, we can just join forces and kill him."
In his view, what could a random ghost cultivator he encountered possibly do, even if he had ulterior motives? At the very least, it would have no impact on them.
"By the way, didn't you say before that you could sense the call of your King? It's been so long; if he were in this direction, logically speaking, we should have found him by now."
Song Ce asked, voicing his doubt.
Ji shook his head and said, "I'm not entirely sure of the specifics. When I left the Lower Upper Realm, I did indeed sense the King's call, but after so much time, I estimate the King has also left this place."
"To find the King, we can only wait for his call again."
"Otherwise, given the King's abilities, even if we were standing right in front of him, we might not necessarily be able to see him."
"You seem very eager to find the King. What are your intentions?"
Ji asked, feeling very strange.
This human scholar, Song Ce, was unusual in every way; not only was his cultivation base and ability strong, but he had even taken the initiative to help him leave the Lower Upper Realm.
At that time, perhaps it could be considered that the two could help each other.
But after leaving the Lower Upper Realm, Song Ce still had a strong desire to go with him to find the King of the Wu'e Clan, which was a bit strange.
Song Ce seemed to have anticipated that Ji would ask this, and he sighed, "I am not a human, but an ancient alien race like you, only I was a bit luckier and managed to escape the sealed land earlier than you all."
"The world has changed drastically. The once-weak humans now occupy the most fertile lands and possess the strongest combat power."
"For us remaining ancient alien races to reclaim a place for ourselves, one or two of us simply cannot do it. So, I want to establish a major power centered on the ancient alien races. Isn't that a good thing?"
"Moreover, this is absolutely a good opportunity now; the two major alien races, the Demon and Barbarian, are launching a war against the Great Zhou Dynasty of the humans."
"If there is a backbone, it will be very easy for us to establish the major power I mentioned. Only in this way can we ancient alien races propagate our descendants and not be hunted down endlessly by others."
"Do you understand my intentions now?"
Song Ce said with a solemn face.
Ji nodded subconsciously; he was persuaded by Song Ce's words. They indeed needed to establish a power of their own.
"I just heard the King's call again."
Ji said with a serious expression.
"Oh." Song Ce looked surprised, glanced casually at Lv Fang, who was standing some distance away, and lowered his voice to ask Ji, "Is the King of your Wu'e Clan nearby?"
Ji nodded and said, "Although he is not nearby, he is not far from us either. The King seems to be calling our clansmen. We must rush over immediately. Try to keep it a secret from that ghost cultivator behind us. I trust you, but I don't trust him."
"As for whether he has ill intentions, we can let the King discern that when the time comes."
"If what you said just now was sincere, I can recommend you to the King. I believe the King will also like you, but along the way, you still need to think about your specific ideas for establishing our power."
"The King is a wise man; he does not like stupid people."
After speaking, the two exchanged a glance, nodded in unison, and changed direction again to flee.
"Establish a major power dominated by ancient alien races?" A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Lv Fang's mouth. The guy inside Song Ce's body had told him similar things before.
He really was stubborn!
For some reason, Lv Fang always felt that a person like Song Ce would never be content to live under others; perhaps he had even greater schemes.
Although Ji and Song Ce's conversation was meant to guard against Lv Fang, with his current super-perception, he had heard their conversation very clearly.
So now he was a bit uneasy. Since the King was in this area, and he had already told Xue Luo Sha about the situation here using a sound transmission talisman, should he still follow Ji and Song Ce to see the King?
Judging from their conversation, this King must be very, very strong.
If he followed them, would an extremely dangerous situation arise?
He was confident that others could not see through the disguise of his supernatural power, "Deceiving the Heavens," but who knew if the King of the Wu'e Clan was a bloodthirsty guy.
Just as Lv Fang was hesitating, Song Ce and Ji in front suddenly stopped, looking at him with confusion as to why he was motionless.
Just as Lv Fang was about to make up his mind to leave directly and not take the risk, Song Ce's sound transmission came over: "You are very smart. The two of us did indeed talk about the King just now. The King is in this area, and I admire you."
"Rest assured, there will be no danger."
"The King of the Wu'e Clan must be anxious to break free and establish a power now. If you and I join, we will definitely be highly valued, especially you."
"My ambition is great. In the future, I will kick out the Wu'e Clan and form my own power. Are you willing to follow me? Are you willing to live under others? I can tell that you crave power."
Sentence after sentence of bewitching words persuaded Lv Fang.
Lv Fang licked his lips and decided to take this risk. If he really found that the situation was not right when he saw the King of the Wu'e Clan, he had that life-saving supreme treasure, so escaping safely shouldn't be a problem.
After all, the King of the Wu'e Clan and his subordinates had just escaped from the sealed land.
The strength they recovered in a short time shouldn't be very strong, and with the elite pursuers of the Luo Sha Kingdom, their recovery would be even slower.
"You are quite ambitious, but I like dealing with people like you. My requirements are not high; as long as you can give me enough benefits, you can use me as your confidant."
Lv Fang sent a sound transmission to Song Ce.
"Straightforward, deal!" Song Ce sent a sound transmission back quickly.
Lv Fang took a few deep breaths and walked toward Song Ce and Ji. He was really curious about the Wu'e Clan and their King, who had been sealed by someone unknown in ancient times, and what they would do next.
Seeing Lv Fang following again, Ji was about to say something when he suddenly froze. A moment later, he said in a deep voice, "I heard the King's call again. Hurry, perhaps he has encountered some danger." ===== CHAPTER 242 =====
