Chapter 839 - A Sudden Change
Chapter 839 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" starts with unexpected events: After listening to the otherâs narration, Yang Suxinâs gaze flickered. Although Linâan World didnât have... Find out more!
After listening to the otherâs narration, Yang Suxinâs gaze flickered. Although Linâan World didnât have much of an intention to expand, if a piece of fat were delivered to their doorstep, Linâan World wouldnât mind devouring it."Youâre saying that mysterious Star Lord of Star Sea World, and the powerful Lord of Heavenly Martial of Tianwu World, are those men named Lu Hong and Wu Sheng?" King of the Mountain, Yang Lin, listened to Yang Suxinâs description, his gaze gradually becoming somber.
"Yes, foster father, this was told to me personally by Tian Shengwu." Yang Suxin stood before Yang Lin and said, "Should we next..."
Yang Lin raised his hand, interrupting Yang Suxin, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Do not rush into action and alert the enemy, nor let a third person know. Our most important task now is to find a way to seize governance over Linâan."
"Yes!" Yang Suxin bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the Southern Courtyard, Tian Shengwu asked Lu Hong with a hint of concern, "Star Lord, by exposing our identities like this, isnât it somewhat... inappropriate? If Yang Lin harbors any ill intentions, we might find it difficult to leave Linâan World safely. Even though the two of us are lords of worlds, we canât trigger a world war by ourselves; those Heavenly Gods of Linâan World may well attack us."
"Iâm doing this for you, arenât I?" Lu Hong glanced at Tian Shengwu, "What do you think made Yang Suxin interested in you?"
"Uh..." Hearing Lu Hongâs words, Tian Shengwu was somewhat confusedâbut being a world lord, he wasnât dull and quickly grasped the key point.
Indeed, he did fancy Yang Suxin, but to say he would betray his world for her would be impossible. Similarly, Yang Suxin wouldnât betray the Yang family, which had nurtured her for decades, for a sudden love.
"Yang Suxin must have told our identities to Yang Lin!" Tian Shengwu suddenly realized, "Star Lord, we should prepare to withdraw!"
"No hurry." Lu Hong smiled slightly, "Do you think Linâan can stop us with just our two strengths?"
"What if they dispatch the Heavenly God Ancestors?"
"Have you forgotten our Netherworld God?"
The mention of the Netherworld God made Tian Shengwu shiverâthis mysterious and powerful woman cast a huge psychological shadow over him.
"If itâs the Netherworld God, there should be no problem."
Joking aside, Linâan World didnât even have any gods of the Heavenly Realm, who could contend against the Netherworld God?
Reassured, Lu Hongâs gaze deepened. He smiled and said, "Now itâs as if weâve passed the choice to Yang Linâwhether to start a war with Linâan World... itâs all in his hands."
One night passed, and nothing special happened. As usual, Yang Suxin came looking for Tian Shengwu.
Tian Shengwu acted as if nothing had happened, staying intimate with her.
Despite both having their own agendas, their love was more genuine than gold.
Another day later, Yang Lin sent his guards to bring Lu Hong and Tian Shengwu to the Yang Familyâs inner courtyard.
In the vast courtyard training ground, Yang Lin donned golden armor, and seven mighty figures already sat beside him, including Yang Suxin.
Upon seeing the arrival of Lu Hong and Tian Shengwu, Yang Lin slightly raised his hand, pointing to the vacant seats in front of him, "Have a seat."
With everyone assembled, Yang Lin spoke, "The rules of this competition have changed. The ancestor himself has issued a decree to open a small secret realm. Participants from the three families will enter this realm to search for the blood-red Divine Stones. The challenge lasts ten days. On the tenth day, you must be at the specified location, where the ancestor will reopen the realmâs pathway to let you return.
Upon returning, the family with the highest total count of blood-red Divine Stones will win Linâanâs governance rights."
Tian Shengwu frowned slightly upon hearing Yang Linâs explanation of the rules. Entering a small world of secret realms? Could it be a deliberate trap by Linâan World targeting them? Small worlds have many restrictions and can be concealed by the Heavenly Gods. Even the Netherworld God might need some time to locate them in such an environment.
To Tian Shengwu, this was clearly a trap set by the Yang family using their lives to gain benefits from Linâanâs ancestor.
Thinking of this, Tian Shengwu was about to refuse participating in the competition when Lu Hong pulled him back.
Meanwhile, since beginning to speak, Yang Linâs gaze hadnât left the two. Simultaneously, the corners of his mouth also formed a sardonic cold smile.
It seemed Lu Hong had passed the ball to Yang Lin, and Yang Linâs revenge soon followed.
"Lu Hong, Wu Sheng, you two arenât of the Yang surname. Do you have the courage to participate in this competition?"
Yang Linâs words were like a flag planted on the two of them, drawing everyoneâs attention to them.
Lu Hong chuckled, "Having become Yang family guests, we naturally comply with the Yang Family Headâs arrangements. I have no objections."
"Good! Quite courageous!" Yang Lin shouted loudly and then commanded, "Bring the wine!"
The guards arranged for each person to be handed a bowl of fine wine.
"Gentlemen, this is the wine for your farewell, and also the antidote to survive ten days safely in the secret realm. By drinking it, youâll gain immunity to the realmâs erosion, enabling safe passage within. Should you exceed ten days, the potionâs effect will diminish, and youâll be eroded by the realmâs mysterious forces, turning into decay. Therefore, as long as you survive, you must reach the designated location, regardless of whether youâve collected any blood-red Divine Stones. Surviving this secret realm makes you meritorious to the Yang family, and we wonât fail to reward your actions!"
Hearing Yang Linâs promise, the Yang family members all tilted their heads back, downing the wine, shouting, "Willing to brave fire and water for the Yang family!"
Crack! Crack! Crack... Nine wine bowls shattered.
Tian Shengwu looked at the nine pairs of eyes directed at him and awkwardly glanced at Lu Hong.
This wine... to be honest, he didnât dare drink it.
As for Lu Hong, he remained indifferent, downing the wine in one gulp under the gaze of the nine. He placed the bowl aside instead of smashing it like the Yang family warriors did.
Seeing Lu Hong drink it, Tian Shengwu gathered his courage and drank the fine wine, placing the bowl down.
Their actions left the Yang family warriors speechless.
What were they doing? Why were these two different? Why so unsociable?
Yang Suxin, at this moment, glared angrily at Tian Shengwu.
Seeing his girlfriendâs eyes on him, Tian Shengwu immediately looked elsewhere, pretending not to notice.
After a while, Yang Lin finally withdrew his gaze with a smile, "Hehe, since the wine is drunk, everyone, follow me."
Under Yang Linâs guidance, everyone passed through the Teleportation Gate and arrived at the realm where Lin Kongâs ancestor resided.
The powerful representatives chosen by the other two families had already arrived.
Seeing Yang Lin approach, the Lu Family Head sneered mockingly, "Iâve always heard that Yang family folks are pompous, and today Iâve witnessed it indeed."
Yang Lin glanced at the speaking Lu Family Head and countered, "Was I late?"
"Not late, but you only arrived moments before the appointed time. You know the ancestor is personally here today, yet you didnât wait patiently ahead of time. It seems some people truly lack respect for the ancestor, becoming haughty and arrogant!"
Yang Lin had no interest in engaging with the Lu Family Headâs verbal sparring, choosing not to speak further.
Seeing Yang Lin ignore him, the Lu Family Head ground his teeth in frustration. Initially wanting to cause some trouble for Yang Lin, he found himself at a loss due to Yang Linâs apparent indifference.
Just when the Lu Family Head was about to provoke further, a mighty heavenly presence descended slowly from the sky.
Feeling the aura of the ancestor, members of the three families cupped their fists in salute, "We greet Lin Kong Ancestor!"
Lin Kong Ancestor clearly wasnât interested in such formalities, waving, "Dispense with the courtesy, all get up."
As he spoke, Lin Kong Ancestor scanned the group, looking at the ten contestants brought by the three families, with a satisfied smile, "I have independently altered the rules for this competition. I hope you donât mind. On this trip to the secret realm, your primary goal is to find the blood-red Divine Stones. In non-essential circumstances, I wish you avoid internal conflicts. After all, this realm also includes participants from other worlds!"
