Chapter 2383 - 2384: A Cat That Catches Mice Is a Good Cat
Lin Yuhai’s gaze appeared gentle, but to the king, that gentle gaze felt like a sharp blade, extremely piercing.
As if it could penetrate the human heart, it left the king feeling that he had no secrets in front of Lin Yuhai.
This feeling was as if he were standing naked before the other.
However, fortunately, the king had weathered countless ups and downs, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and slowly managed a smile: "You’re joking, how could I possibly go against you!"
"There are many areas where I need to rely on you, and knowing your strength, I’m not foolish enough to hit a stone with an egg!"
Lin Yuhai chuckled lightly, "Even if you wanted to deal with me, I wouldn’t do anything to you!"
"After all, this world is as such; the weak are prey to the strong. One needs to have a sense of danger to grow stronger. Living in comfort for too long easily makes one forget the dangers!"
Even though Lin Yuhai said this, the king didn’t change his stance.
The king wouldn’t believe Lin Yuhai’s words. If he dared to say he intended to oppose Lin Yuhai, the king could guarantee that this old man would certainly wipe him out directly.
After all, no one wants to see a threat slowly growing.
Moreover, all dangers are meant to be eradicated. Of course, Ye Xunhuan is an exception; no one expected Ye Xunhuan to grow so quickly!
"Of course, I understand that no one wants to remain second forever. Wanting to eliminate me is quite normal," Lin Yuhai said softly. "But, King, trying to eliminate me with just your Mixed Primal Energy is not enough!"
The king remained silent because he knew if Lin Yuhai decided on something, nothing he said would make any difference, so it was better to stay silent and say nothing.
Seeing the king’s silence, Lin Yuhai didn’t say more but instead changed the subject: "Tell me about that woman who can wield Rain Falling on Cold Sand!"
"I am more interested in her than in Ye Xunhuan now!"
"I don’t have any information on her, only encountered her once in Yang City," the king said honestly. "But she seemed to know me well. She knew almost all my moves and might have specifically researched ways to counter my sword techniques!"
"It seems this woman has quite the background!" Lin Yuhai sighed deeply.
"Do you know something?"
Lin Yuhai didn’t respond immediately but pondered for a while and then said, "I know a bit, but not much. Check your Protectors’ records after you return; they should have more information than I do!"
"Please enlighten me!"
"You know about the Five Great Nobles, right?"
The king’s expression changed slightly, "The super bosses of the underground world in the east, west, south, north, and center?"
"Exactly!"
"Do they truly exist?"
At this moment, the king’s face was filled with disbelief, and obviously, like Olivia, he found it hard to believe it was true.
"They exist!" Lin Yuhai confirmed, "I’ve encountered one; his strength may not be beneath mine!"
"What?"
"No need for such surprise!" Lin Yuhai said calmly. "This world is, after all, a time when talented people are plentiful."
"The existence of certain monsters is not surprising at all!"
Then Lin Yuhai’s tone shifted: "Moreover, they won’t intervene in matters; their existence is merely the order of the underground world, they won’t participate in holy wars or interfere in any conflicts of power!"
"Of course, provided that they are not provoked; otherwise, they will take action," Lin Yuhai said with composure, "But as far as I can see, you probably won’t provoke them."
"But speaking of it, if the Evil Lord hadn’t died, he might be a candidate for one of the Five Great Nobles!"
The king remained silent, plunging into deep thought.
After an unknown period, the king slowly opened his mouth: "Could that woman be a person of the Five Great Nobles?"
"They are loners!" Lin Yuhai replied softly, "Their heirs are chosen freely from the world."
"No one knows who will be next, but if they become one of the Five Great Nobles, they must abide by the rules and not break them!"
"And if someone breaks them?"
"Four kills one!"
A slight tremor ran through the king’s heart, seeming the role of the Five Great Nobles is not easy after all!
"Since that woman isn’t one of them, then..."
"The world is not just about the Five Great Nobles," Lin Yuhai said softly, "King, I really wonder, have you, as the leader of the Protectors for so many years, been sitting on a dog’s throne?"
"There’s a record even within Kunlun that you don’t know?"
The king’s face slowly revealed an expression of embarrassment. Although the Protectors have many books, and places similar to the scripture halls of temples, the king rarely goes there, let alone flips through any books.
It’s not just the king; even if it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t be so bored as to flip through books.
"I will definitely take a closer look after I return!"
"Besides the Five Great Nobles, there’s another extremely large force in this world," Lin Yuhai stated heavily. "They are the true giants, whom neither you nor I can provoke!"
A shiver ran through the king, and his face changed: "What kind of force are they?"
"I’m not very clear either. The Kunlun records aren’t very clear, but there is such a force that is above your Protectors!" Lin Yuhai stated seriously, "You think you are an emperor, but in others’ eyes, you’re just a clown!"
"Of course, I don’t compete for your position because I’m not interested. What interests me is that force beyond yours!"
As he spoke, Lin Yuhai’s eyes flashed with a glint of ambition!
Lin Yuhai was not without ambition, he had it too, but the leader of the Protectors’ position simply didn’t interest him. Of course, if Lin Yuhai didn’t know about that place, he might have been interested.
"Are you suggesting that woman is likely..."
"Exactly!" Lin Yuhai affirmed heavily, "All these years, I’ve been looking for them but never found them!"
"Didn’t you say you couldn’t deal with them?"
"If not openly, can’t it be done sneakily?" Lin Yuhai looked at the king with some disdain: "Great people have said, whether a cat is black or white, catching mice makes it a good cat!"
"The same goes for doing things. As long as it succeeds, it’s a good tactic!"
