Chapter 714 - 415: Chaotic Times
Xue Dili observed such a situation for the first time, the Old Demon Emperor actually confronting his subordinates?
In his memory, this old guy was someone whose word was law. If he were born in ancient times, he would definitely be a tyrant, unless your strength could crush him directly, maybe then he would sit down and talk with you, otherwise, he would definitely be a tyrant.
Especially since he was always surrounded by the typical stubbornness of the elderly, even talking with him made Xue Dili feel exhausted.
Who would have thought that today he could be coerced into a situation by his subordinates?
Xue Dili felt amused at once, what’s going on? Is it Xuanwu Gate or Tumu Fort?
Although gloating isn’t right, Xue Dili couldn’t help but start secretly observing to see what exactly was causing the old guy to confront his subordinates.
Fast forward to the Xuanwu Gate showdown phase!
It’s somewhat immoral, but it was the first thing Xue Dili thought of.
However, after seriously understanding what happened, he showed a puzzled expression.
"Commander, you cannot just leave! The Celestial Kingdom still needs you now!"
"Commander, please, you cannot abandon us like this, we are also willing to fight alongside you!"
"Quack, I don’t want to see this kind of scene!"
Xue Dili: "..."
The Old Demon Emperor seemed quite impatient and finally just said, "I can only do this, must do this; you all won’t be of use if you followed, rather you’ll be a burden. After I leave, the Celestial Kingdom will be handed over to Obsidian!"
"You are all the future of the Celestial Kingdom, do not perish because of my personal affairs, this is my command as your commander!"
"Quack!"
"Hooray!"
"Rubble!"
Amidst the strange cries from the crowd, someone promptly said, "Grand Commander, we also want to fight alongside you! If you disagree, then let’s settle this our way—through strength. If you can defeat all of us, then as you wish!"
The Old Demon Emperor was silent for a moment, then responded, "Then come on! Fight!"
Xue Dili: "..."
Is your world such that any disagreement has to be resolved by fighting? Or is it that merely locking gazes on the street leads to a duel?
So how does Howard get by in this world? Surely he doesn’t have to fight every time he wants to get intimate in the bedroom just to decide who’s on top?
...
Sometime later, the Old Demon Emperor approached Xue Dili all by himself and said, "Let’s go!"
He gathered his few belongings, primarily knowledge and books, mainly consisting of Earth’s history that Xue Dili had taught him—from the Qin Dynasty to modern history, from the French Revolution to America’s LGBTQ...
This was all that he took along, and he even had people copy a set of these books to leave in this world for future leaders of the Celestial Kingdom to study.
"Oh." Xue Dili opened up the Consciousness Space, and the Old Demon Emperor directly entered it.
He was very familiar with this place; the Magic Academy here had even been destroyed once in a battle between him and Xue Dili, although it was later rebuilt. Yet, the towering giant tree in the distance was slightly obstructive to the view.
The Old Demon Emperor frowned. There was still the presence of the undead lingering in the air, but he didn’t care and simply sat on the playground of the Magic Academy, closing his eyes to meditate.
"So what’s this all about?" Xue Dili asked while calculating spatial coordinates, chatting with the Old Demon Emperor.
Every slice of the Dimensional Blade in his hand through the air seemed capable of tearing open the space here.
"It’s nothing, news about me leaving got leaked, so early this morning, a bunch of people gathered at the door, saying they wanted to accompany me here... But against the undead, a large number frequently becomes a disadvantage. I don’t want to see this group of hard-trained people all wiped out." The Old Demon Emperor seemed a bit... tsundere?
Although that’s an abstract word to describe this nearly 4-meter-tall, grotesque sub-human that looks like a lizard-centipede fusion, Xue Dili still wanted to make fun of him. The old guy was clearly touched, but his mouth was full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction.
Xue Dili had no intention of persuading him further and quickly found the coordinates.
"I’m going to start the teleportation now," Xue Dili said.
The Dimensional Blade slashed open a cross-type Teleportation Gate in the air. This time, he didn’t plan to use possession to hide his form but chose to go directly, intending to resolve the root of the undead plague as fast as possible.
If he were to recover his strength bit by bit through possession, it would take too long. It would be better to directly lean on the Old Demon Emperor’s influence, teleport over, and handle the undead disaster akin to an "Interstellar Mercenary."
It would be best to resolve everything before the Undying King reacts.
Then, it was the usual procedure, adjusting coordinates via Interstellar Corps technology.
Xue Dili thought it was unlikely he’d encounter the Eighth Apostle, as the undead plague was merely a means for this Apostle to harvest souls and corpses. This Apostle wouldn’t intervene directly for a mere planet’s witch demon.
Unless Xue Dili was extremely unlucky, encountering such a situation.
Should that world already be wholly transformed into an undead paradise, with all the living extinct...
Then just annihilate the star directly...
At this moment, the Old Demon Emperor also gazed at the Teleportation Gate with a heavy heart, perhaps from the tension of coming home, or maybe he really had no idea about the state of his homeland, how far the undead plague progressed, and how many of his people were still alive?
