Returning From Level 900

319 Our King

“Where’s the State Preceptor?” Wang Wen asked.

The leader raised his head in confusion and was about to point at himself.

He thought about it.

“There was a fox demon who was the State Preceptor before me. Have you been here before?” he asked with uncertainty.

Wang Wen nodded.

The five people on the opposite side trembled in unison, their bodies swaying back and forth.

They almost lost their balance and fell.

The one on the far left asked, “Little Teacher Wang, are you friends with that fox demon?”

Wang Wen shook his head.

“How could my master be friends with a fox?” Zhu Xingguo snorted coldly.

The five people on the other side heaved a sigh of relief.

“She has helped me before,” Wang Wen explained. “I’m going to repay her this time. Do you know where she is?”

The five people who had just heaved a sigh of relief felt their breath stick in their chests, and they almost died.

The outcome was not final.

Wang Wen said, “Oh, right! Speaking of friends, Jue Mingzi from the Clear Sky Sect is a friend. It’s a pity that I didn’t find him this time. I heard that a demon had caught him. Do you know where he is?”

The leader repeatedly coughed as if he were about to cough his lungs out.

The person next to him turned pale and asked, “The immortal that Jue Mingzi was talking about, was it you, Little Teacher Wang?”

“Immortal?” Wang Wen shook his head. “I’m not sure. He refers to me as Master. Maybe he thinks I’m immortal when he sees me making the Immortal Stone. I gave him a few immortal stones last time, but I don’t know how his cultivation is going.”

The leader stopped coughing.

His face was filled with despair.

He could hear his team members gasping and muttering the words Immortal Stone.

He calculated the possibility of escaping from the tower.

He thought about how the world was almost unified and how the academy’s minions and the Boai Group members were everywhere.

His heart was as cold as if he had fallen into a world of ice and snow.

He controlled his trembling lips and asked, “Little Teacher Wang, I can give you all my points and equipment. I’ll give you everything. Can you spare my life?”

“We’re all tower climbers, so you’re being too polite.” Wang Wen could roughly guess what had happened from his expression.

He silently made an oath and wanted to teleport Jue Mingzi and the Fox Demon in front of him.

He was reluctant to use the remaining 30 percent of the energy, so he tried to use 5 percent, but it did not work!

The scepter trembled.

It did not deduct any energy points, and it did not fulfill his promise.

That meant that even with Wang Wen’s current 5 percent of energy, he would not be able to move his target.

It was 5 percent!

It was almost equivalent to the total energy of 50 nuclear bombs launched by the six largest consortiums!

It could not even move that!

Had those two been thrown into the black hole?

Wang Wen calmly lowered his scepter and asked, “How many points do you have?”

The leader was overjoyed when he heard that. He quickly pulled the drone and counted them. “I currently have a total of 367,625,487 points!”

“Only 300 million?” Wang Wen’s face revealed a disappointed expression.

Chen Hansheng, who was beside him, smiled and shook his head.

Even Zhu Xingguo was shocked: “This guy is even poorer than me.”

The leader was stunned and said, “Even though it can’t be compared to the consortium, this is all I have. Of course, I can still gather 100 or 200 million more if I have time.”

“Forget about the points. Give me the relics,” Wang Wen said, shaking his head.

“Thank you, Little Teacher Wang, for sparing my life!” The leader was overjoyed.

Wang Wen was still shaking his head. “It’s Jue Mingzi’s business whether he wants you to live or die. But if you give me all the relics, I can consider pleading for you.”

The leader gritted his teeth when he heard that. Did that mean that there was no room for discussion? “Do you want to fight to the death?”

“You’re being too serious,” Wang Wen said, waving his hands.

The man remained silent, his face turning green and white, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

A few seconds later.

A white light appeared on the leader’s body.

The other team members’ expressions changed drastically.

Wang Wen squinted his eyes and calculated the energy according to the last time he pulled Zhou Dafu. He then waved his scepter gently.

The white light on the leader’s body dissipated.

He looked at Wang Wen with his mouth agape and touched his own body in disbelief.

He could not help but wail, “Are you kidding me? The teleportation can be interrupted?”

“This is your only chance,” Wang Wen said indifferently. “If I see you glowing again, I’ll kill you, even if it costs me a month’s ban from the tower. Besides, many people will be willing to do it for me.”

“Master, I’ll do it!” Zhu Xingguo rubbed his hands in anticipation.

Chen Hansheng stopped the two of them. “Don’t be rash. Your chance to climb the tower is precious. It’s not worth it to kill and get banned from the tower.”

Mo Ran was about to speak.

However, Chen Hansheng said, “I’m too busy. There are a lot of things to do outside. Now, I can barely squeeze out time to climb the tower once a month. Just leave the killing to me.”

“Say no more.” Mo Ran finally seized the opportunity to speak. “My body hasn’t recovered yet. I need to rest for a while. The ban is the most suitable for me. No one is taking it from me!”

The leader was dumbfounded as he watched the fight for the kill quota.

If it were not for the fact that he was still breathing, he would have thought he was already dead. A group of people was discussing who should be responsible for burying him.

“You’re going too far!” The leader angrily kicked the drone away.

He did not have time to speak.

The team member beside him asked him doubtfully, “Captain, did you plan to leave us behind?”

The leader was stunned.

The four team members flew away from him and approached Wang Wen, saying, “Little Teacher Wang, this kind of selfish guy doesn’t deserve to be our captain. We’ll be happy to help you.”

Wang Wen looked at the group of people arguing non-stop and said helplessly, “Why are you guys fighting? I mean, I can ask the natives to help me kill him. I’m very familiar with the Emperor, so it’s definitely not a problem for him to help me kill someone.”

As he spoke, he even greeted the Emperor. “Isn’t that right, Your Majesty?”

The Emperor blinked, thinking that he was not involved in that.

The four team members said, “Little Teacher Wang, we know where your friend is being held. We’ll take you there!”

After that, one of them landed in front of the Emperor and pointed at Wang Wen as he said, “Your Majesty, that person is from our continent—a king! Your strength is greater than all of us combined. Please give us a gold token so we can walk freely.”

“A king?” The Emperor felt that his identity as the Son of Heaven had been offended, but he did not hold it against them because they were foreigners and needed to establish friendly relations.

Of course, the main reason was that he could not win.

The group of people in front of him had just defeated the State Preceptor, who was his best fighter. They even had their king with them.

It was no wonder the former State Preceptor, who had always been cold to others, had become absent-minded and like a walking corpse after going after him.

The Emperor sighed in his heart.

He quickly took out a gold token and handed it to the four people in front of him.

The four team members received the gold token and thanked the Emperor. They nodded and bowed before leading Wang Wen into the distance.

The leader’s face was livid as he looked at his team members protecting the others. He was furious, but when Wang Wen’s gaze swept over him, he forced a smile, indicating that he was fine with everything.

The group arrived at a dark and damp dungeon outside the Imperial City.

The dirty underground water flowed freely.

The garbage and feces were piled against the wall.

Wang Wen frowned.

“It was the captain’s orders!” The four team members quickly clarified.

The leader, who was obediently following them, was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly returned the attack. “It was all their doing!”
