Chapter 185 Someone Wants to Kill Him!
"Hehe, finally out. I wonder where Jiuying went. I'll go hide for a bit." Xu Sheng broke free from Garuda's restraints.
He is human, and has many means at his disposal, so this is not a difficult task for him.
When we were here before, Jiuying and I found a secluded space that could isolate us from all the noise from the outside world.
Now that Jiuying is gone, he needs to protect himself. There are monsters all around here, so he can't fight them.
It's called a hidden space, but it's actually the next place. There are many rooms in the ancient tomb, but now they've all been sealed off with magic, so ordinary people can't see them or go in.
However, he's not an ordinary person, so staying inside for a longer period of time shouldn't be a problem for him.
Arriving at the center of District 100 based on his memory, Xu Sheng entered a room. The room was breached, and he fell directly down. After a while, the ground outside returned to normal.
It's just a hidden spell that can be restored after a while.
Xu Sheng continued to fall, and from the perspective of perception, he had already fallen nearly a thousand meters, but he still hadn't reached the bottom. However, Xu Sheng wasn't in a hurry. The place wasn't actually that deep, and even without any defensive measures, a mage's physique wouldn't kill him from the fall.
After being trapped, he kept thinking that once he was freed, he would find this place to hide and wait for things to calm down before he could escape.
Moreover, since Salang is going to ascend to godhood in the ancient capital, even if he is exposed after leaving, not many people will chase after him. The focus will definitely still be on Salang.
Xu Sheng also had to thank Salang. If she hadn't ascended to godhood at this time, he would have been in great danger after being exposed. As for Jiuying, that guy was full of tricks and wouldn't die.
He might be a different story. There are plenty of people in the country capable of taking him down, but thanks to Salang, he has no worries about his safety now.
Run can enjoy life after going abroad.
Xu Sheng landed in complete darkness, but his curse ability allowed him to see clearly even in the dark.
"Fireballs." Xu Sheng pinched a few fireballs and threw them on the wall. These fireballs could last for a very long time.
This is an underground space, like another room, containing many treasures. When Xu Sheng lit up this space, a commotion suddenly appeared in the distance.
A person walked over, and after Xu Sheng saw what this person looked like, he took two steps back, his face full of disbelief.
He looked back, wanting to escape from there.
Xu Sheng came here to lay low, never expecting to encounter one of the most terrifying people in the area.
Salon, one of the cardinals, had a deep-seated fear of cardinals among the Black Vatican members.
Although he, like Jiuying, looked down on Salam's plan to ascend to godhood, he knew that he looked down on her for taking her anger out on ordinary people, rather than for Salam's abilities.
Jiuying might look down on him, but Xu Sheng couldn't; he was terrified of Salang.
After all, this is a cardinal; nobody knows what he might do.
Just like when he was with Jiuying, Jiuying's performance was just average, and he seemed to be inferior to Xu Shengqiang. His magical cultivation was also very poor, but Xu Shengqiang was very respectful to him because Jiuying had a way to kill him, while he had no way to kill Jiuying.
The same principle applies now when facing Salam.
They wanted to leave, but the road above was blocked and needed to be blasted open with magic. However, Salang was right there, so they had to save their magic to keep an eye on him, otherwise the gap between the two spells could very well be their own grave.
"Xu Sheng? Looks like I've found a way out too. I didn't expect it to be so close. The illusion is too clever."
"I can only say he truly deserves to be called the Ancient King." Salang sighed with emotion, realizing he had been searching for this path for a long time, but it had always been right here.
"By the way, did you run into Wu Ku while you were out?" Salang asked.
Xu Sheng squinted, somewhat puzzled as to why Salang would ask such a question. He had never encountered such a person before; if he had, he might have killed Wu Ku on the spot.
He would be quite willing to disgust Salam.
"No." Xu Sheng shook his head.
"Oh, I see. What brings you here?" Salang asked again.
"I'm going to stay put for a while and wait until the situation outside becomes clearer before going out," Xu Sheng answered honestly.
"Tell me how chaotic it is outside? Time seems to stand still here; I have no idea how much time has passed," Salang said in a commanding tone.
Xu Sheng was silent for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, the former Elf Emperor Garuda possessed the body of a man named Su Ming. Under normal power, he was already close to that of an Emperor, and might even be able to unleash an Emperor-level attack. This is one of them."
"Then there are Lord Wu'an and the White-Robed Corpse General. Lord Wu'an is an extremely powerful ruler. I'm not entirely sure how powerful he is, but I estimate he's no weaker than the Mountain Corpse. The White-Robed Corpse General is one of the Eight Dead Rulers. Most importantly, this ancient tomb has many enhancements, so their combined strength will be unprecedented."
"And then there's the Hades Bell that rang twice, and Paris, the guardian of the Hades Bell. He's a problem too, and—"
Xu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then continued, "The military sent Jiang Shaotian. I don't know the current situation. Anyway, I didn't kill him. It was a bit rushed at the time. I was from the Magic Association, and I also had to deal with someone from the Hunter's Alliance."
"The other two forces are Lord Salang and Lord Jiuying."
Salang nodded after listening; it was about the same as what she knew.
"Let me tell you something. I'm from the Hunter's Alliance. As for you—I feel like you're going to die."
Salang's words angered Xu Sheng. No one would be happy to be cursed to die for no reason, and he felt the same way.
If he weren't so unsure of Salam's background, he would have made his move now.
"Don't be angry. I won't stop you if you want to avoid me. In fact, we're both from the Black Vatican, so we're colleagues. There's no need to make things too awkward," Salang said with a smile, waving her hand.
Seeing this, Xu Sheng retreated a distance. Considering that Salang wanted to leave, he figured that the top of his head could be removed.
"Be careful. The road is indeed very safe, but you can't hide it from everyone. Someone will come looking for you," Salang warned. She looked up at the sky; there was nothing there, just an ordinary ceiling.
This is also where the ancient king's brilliance lies.
Salang's magical skills are decent; although not as powerful as Xu Sheng's, he can still conjure a few high-level spells without any problem.
Using a super-level wind magic spell, a hole appeared on it.
"I'm leaving. If you're still alive, you can come find me." Salang tossed out an olive branch, and the Wings of Wind appeared behind her.
This hole is so big that you could fly right up to it.
The cave was restored after Salam left.
Xu Sheng kept Salang's words in mind.
Someone wants to kill him!
