Accomplishing what she had previously said.
'If you treat me as a human being, then I will repay your trust on the golden platform, drawing my jade dragon sword to die for you'
At this moment.
Kim Gyeong-joo felt a building with the plaque of the King of Hell's palace flash before her eyes.
But she couldn't understand it.
Because it was written in Chinese characters.
Illusions, all illusions.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Ding, who was on video call, had already walked deep into the ancestral hall with Kim Nam-won.
Listening to him introduce along the way.How long this ancestral hall had been built, how much manpower and resources had been expended, and so on.
It was almost putting Lu Ding to sleep!
He changed the subject, pointing at a dark passage that led to who knows where and asked:
"What's behind this?"
Having talked this far, would Kim Nam-won still hide anything? Besides, who didn't know that the Tianxing Group headquarters suppressed the national calamity?
So, some things could be said without concern.
"This path leads to the suppression site of our Wei Gao's national calamity."
Lu Ding took a few more glances, continuing to fish for information: "Then this must be very important, why is there no one guarding it?"
The answer to this question was also the reason Kim Nam-won dared to so casually reveal the passage.
"Having people guard it means someone would pass through, someone passing through means there's a living path to take, no matter how tight the net, it will have holes."
"Where there are holes, there's no safety."
"So, this place is equipped with many kinds of arrays, barriers, large ones enclosing small ones, loose ones enclosing tight ones. Anyone, even Heavenly Perception!"
"If they're not specific individuals, as long as they dare enter and get detected by the arrays, they will definitely die without a burial place!"
Makes sense, the reasoning is clear.
They never intended to let anyone pass through here.
So they left no living path—enter and you die.
But Lu Ding caught a key point: you only die without a burial place if detected.
Then what if you're not detected...
Though he still had questions in his mind.
For example, since no one can pass through, why build a path at all?
But this couldn't be asked—asking further would show too much interest, which would be suspicious.
So, Lu Ding turned around and said: "Then let's go, such a dangerous place, why did you bring me here, Mr. Kim."
The moment his words fell.
BOOM!!!!!
The entire ancestral hall, along with the ground, shook violently.
The commotion was so great it rivaled an eight-magnitude earthquake, to the extent that ordinary people couldn't stand steadily.
Fortunately, this ancestral hall wasn't an ordinary structure, which is why it didn't collapse.
Lu Ding understood—An Wuyang had made his move.
Kim Nam-won's expression changed: "What's going on!!!!"
The rising national calamity, appearing as fine particles, silently answered his question.
Kim Nam-won instantly realized the severity of the situation.
Something seemed to have happened to the national calamity!
Without time to think more, he said to Lu Ding: "Mr. Clark, you go first, I'll go check!!!"
With that.
He disappeared into the passage without looking back.
Lu Ding pretended to shout: "Danger!!!"
"Don't worry about me, you go quickly!!"
Kim Nam-won's voice came through, but he was already gone.
The concern faded from Lu Ding's face as he spoke to Louis in the phone, removing the White Eagle officer's cap from his head.
He let out a long breath: "Huff...."
Tilted his head back to sweep his hair backward.
Tore off the White Eagle shoulder insignia, watching it get sliced into fragments by dense, fine slash attacks in his hand before scattering.
That aura of Great Han's Corpse-Shattering Taishui had returned!!!!
Arrogant, domineering, looking down on all living beings equally.
Almost palpable.
Lu Ding lowered his gaze to look at the phone: "See you later."
Louis stood up in the phone, straightened his clothes, then elegantly performed a bow that wouldn't be suitable for full audio and video recording later: "See you later."
CRACK!!!!
The crisp sound of the phone shattering echoed between his palms, blooming like crystalline flowers, indicating it was completely destroyed.
Black mist surged, red coffin opened.
Lu Ding reached out elegantly to receive the crimson long blade offered by that pale ghost hand.
Floating through the air, any arrays, restrictions, barriers, detection—to him, they were completely useless.
A smile curled at his lips: "Kim Nam-won ah..... Kim Nam-won...... you're at Heavenly Perception eighth level, can you take this blade of mine?"
If you charge it but don't release it, then why charge it at all?
Originally, the plan hadn't determined Kim Nam-won's life or death.
Because they never imagined that Lu Ding and An Wuyang together could take down Kim Nam-won.
But that was before.
Times had changed.
If someone as powerful as Lu Ding at Earth Observation sixth level couldn't take down a Heavenly Perception eighth level cultivator.
Then his Way of the Jinche, and his eighteen years of golden finger, would have been raised for nothing.
Moreover, if they could eliminate Kim Nam-won, the Tianxing Group would surely fall into chaos.
At that time, wouldn't Kim Yeon-ju and Kim Gyeong-joo, supported by the 'White Eagle', be able to seize power?
As for their loyalty issues...
The period when Lu Ding disappeared in seclusion before was the perfect excuse.
Just coordinate with the White Eagle side, say that was when Lu Ding replaced Clark.
Originally, the White Eagle's Clark had wanted to support these two sisters.
Absolutely perfect.
As for whether the White Eagle would agree...... Lu Ding didn't know, he could ask Louis later, after all he was the Divine Son, with that status.
If they agreed, that would be best, saving trouble and making it more reasonable.
If they didn't agree, it didn't matter—they could just take these two sisters away first, wait until Wei Gao lost and ceded territory, then 'welcome the Great Han iron army into the city'
Then bring these two sisters back, openly support them, since bloodline couldn't be faked.
At that time, who was the legitimate ruler wouldn't be certain yet.
They could even borrow a chicken to lay eggs, establishing a 'New Tianxing Group' in the special economic zone.
Anyway, these two people's lives—Lu Ding would protect them!
They shouldn't just survive, they should live well!
By the time these thoughts passed through his mind, Lu Ding had already followed the scent lingering on Kim Nam-won and arrived not far from where the demon dragon was located.
Although the Flying Bear Pounce technique wasn't as useful as before.
It still had its uses, occasionally allowing for some small plays.
There were no useless techniques, only useless people—existence itself was reasonable.
Looking at the national calamity suppression site right before him.
Lu Ding quietly activated stealth steps.
That's right, our Grand Duke Lu was about to demonstrate one of his traditional crafts again—ambush!!!
Earth Observation sixth level, fighting Heavenly Perception eighth level, ambush... not a problem, right?
Inside the suppression site.
National calamity thick enough to block vision churned continuously.
The thousand-zhang demon dragon hid within, roaring repeatedly: "Someone!!! Someone come!!!"
Kim Nam-won flew out from the national calamity, asking angrily: "What exactly do you want to do!!?"
Damn it, this was completely inexplicable, perfectly fine then suddenly going crazy, disturbing him while he was showing off his ancestral hall.
What a lunatic.
The demon dragon extended its hundred-meter head from the mist, bringing with it a foul wind that scattered the national calamity.
Drops of pus blood dripped from its chin, turning back into national calamity as they fell.
The demon dragon looked around with alertness, its tone jumpy as it said: "I..... sensed.... Dragon! Qi!!!"
"Dragon Qi?"
Kim Nam-won was puzzled—this thing only appeared on kings, emperors, monarchs... these people, and their descendants' bloodlines.
But before he could ask.
Because it had been enduring the national calamity continuously, causing its mind to become somewhat unclear, the demon dragon suddenly went mad: "Jing Dynasty's Dragon Qi!!!!!!!!"
Lu Ding, who was secretly calibrating his attack position, paused momentarily upon hearing this.
Instantly, doubts about An Wuyang's identity arose in his mind.
No wonder you're so scholarly and refined like a primitive person, so there's this explanation....
But it wasn't important—Zhang Wei even had the imperial jade seal, such small matters could be discussed later.
His gaze focused ahead.
Killing intent gradually appeared on Lu Ding's face.
Gripping the blade with both hands, in his field of vision, Kim Nam-won and the demon dragon were perfectly aligned.
