This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
If Su Mu didn’t remember wrongly, this future emperor of Da Qian was called Li Ming Tai.
рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM
At this moment, he was only a young man in his early twenties.
He was filled with confusion and even pessimism about the future.
Surrounded by more than twenty Demon Slayers, the Fifth Prince carefully walked toward the Flying Cloud Temple.
The Flying Cloud Temple that was covered in vines was dead silent, just like his current life.
Suddenly, a translucent figure leaped out and flew towards the Fifth Prince.
“Protect His Highness! There’s a demon, be careful of it… Hmm? Wandering souls?”
The martial arts grandmaster was shocked. However, after taking a closer look, he realized that it was only a wandering soul that flew out.
The so-called wandering souls were the lowest level of ghosts. Their strength was so low that it could be ignored.
When the sun shone and the cold wind blew, it would dissipate.
And this wandering soul was none other than Su Mu.
He had been killed by the tree demon and his essence had been sucked dry. He had even become that demon’s puppet.
Only a trace of consciousness was left, and it was extremely weak.
At this time, in order to get rid of the shackles, Su Mu’s remaining soul left his body and turned into a ghost.
However, due to the fact that he was too empty, he only turned into the weakest wandering soul.
His strength was about the same as the first time he transformed into a child’s bone. He could not even withstand a single blow.
However, this was enough.
This was because Su Mu didn’t need to be very powerful right now. He only needed to communicate with the Fifth Prince.
..
Su Mu floated to a distance of 20 metres from the Fifth Prince and stopped.
He was afraid that if he went any further, he would be killed by those Demon Slayers.
“I was originally a resident of Yuntai Town, but I was killed by the evildoers here.”
“I know some of the information you want.”
“But I also have some questions for you. Let’s exchange questions. Feasible?”
In order to prevent himself from being cut down, Su Mu hurriedly revealed his purpose.
Seeing him speak, the Demon Slayers were all surprised.
A low-level wandering soul actually had intelligence. This was something they had never seen before!
He had never even heard of it.
However, he was only surprised.
After being stunned for a moment, the martial arts grandmaster said with killing intent,
“You’re just a little wandering soul, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you with a slash?!”
Hearing this, Su Mu’s expression was filled with disdain as he sneered:
“I’ve already died once. What’s there to be afraid of? In this state, even if no one touches me, I won’t be able to exist for long.”
“Think about it. Even experts like Zhuge Hongtu and Yun Qingkong are trapped here, let alone you stinky fish and shrimps!”
“If you kill me, you won’t be able to obtain any information. You can only rush in and die in vain!”
“You!”
As a martial arts grandmaster, this was the first time he had been called a stinky fish and rotten shrimp. He could not help but fly into a rage, wishing he could destroy this little wandering soul with a knife.
However, before the furious Grandmaster could do anything, the Fifth Prince, Li Mingtai, stepped forward and blocked his path. He said to Su Mu,
“I agree to your conditions, but can you let me ask first?”
At this moment, Li Mingtai was very reasonable and did not look like a bad ruler in the future.
“Sure.”
Su Mu sized up this future Emperor who would influence the fate of Da Qian and nodded in agreement.
“First question, are there any demons in this Taoist temple? If there was, what kind of demon was it?”
Li Mingtai was very cunning. He combined the two questions together and treated them as one.
Su Mu didn’t care about that and directly replied:
“Yes, there is a tree demon in the Flying Cloud Temple!”
“This demon has profound cultivation and extremely powerful methods.”
“All of you together wouldn’t be able to last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”
“There’s no difference between barging in like this and sending yourself to death.””
Su Mu didn’t speak nonsense.
With the tree demon’s Dao, it could indeed easily destroy this group of people.
However, history told Su Mu that not only did Prince Li Ming Tai not die in this demon-slaying operation, he even became the new Emperor of Da Qian in the future!
This was the strangest thing!
No one knew what had happened.
But only Su Mu knew this.
Hearing this, the faces of the Demon Slayers turned extremely ugly.
However, no one backed down.
Without waiting for them to think further, Su Mu continued.
“I’ve answered your question. It’s my turn to ask the next question.”
“Did someone order you to come here, or did they secretly instigate you?”
Su Mu really wanted to know why a prince like Li Mingtai would take such a huge risk to come to this Devil’s Den.
This was somewhat unreasonable.
Li Mingtai smiled bitterly.
He understood the meaning behind Su Mu’s words, which made his smile even more bitter.
“No one asked me to come. I wanted to come.”
“Zhuge Hongtu is my only support. Without him, I won’t be able to live for more than a few days.”
..
Then, Li Mingtai talked about his background.
Almost everyone knew about these things at this time, and they were the talk of the town.
However, after a few decades, it was a secret that few people knew.
Su Mu was one of the majority.
It turned out that Li Mingtai’s mother was born in a humble family and died when he was eleven or twelve years old.
I’ll let it go
The worst thing was that Li Mingtai was very intelligent and was loved by Emperor Shen Qing.
The combination of the two was fatal!
Li Mingtai, who had no background or power but was deeply loved by his father, became a thorn in the other brothers ‘eyes.
Many people wanted to take his life at all times!
Especially the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince, who were brothers of the same father and mother. They had been at odds with Li Mingtai since they were young, and now they were filled with killing intent!
When Emperor Shen Qing was in the palace, it was still fine. No one dared to cause trouble under his eyes.
However, Emperor Shen Qing spent most of his time fighting outside and would not return to the palace for a few years.
This put Li Mingtai in an extremely dangerous situation!
Fortunately, he had something to rely on.
That was the Demon Slayer of the Demon Suppression Division, Zhuge Hongtu!
Zhuge Hongtu’s original name was Zhuge Tu, and he was a butcher in the marketplace.
Although he had shown some talent in martial arts, his family was poor and he could not practice martial arts properly.
Zhuge Tu had basically spent the first twenty years of his life in the slaughterhouse.
Fortunately, he and Lee Myung Tae’s mother had known each other since they were young, and they were childhood sweethearts.
After Li Mingtai’s mother entered the palace, she helped Zhuge Tu.
He changed his name to Zhuge Hongtu and gave him an excellent training environment with abundant resources!
Zhuge Hongtu was indeed a rare top genius in the world.
It had been buried for more than twenty years, but once spring came, it would grow wildly and savagely!
His cultivation rose steadily and soon revealed his talent.
Later, Zhuge Hongtu joined the Demon Suppression Division.
Thanks to his achievements, his promotion speed was extremely fast!
Perhaps it was because he missed her, or perhaps it was because he was focused on martial arts.
Zhuge Hongtu had never married in his life.
After Li Mingtai’s mother died, he took good care of Li Mingtai.
He treated her as if she was his own son.
Li Mingtai also called him uncle in private, and the relationship between the two was extremely close.
With Zhuge Hongtu’s protection, those who harbored ill intentions would not be able to do anything to him.
But now, Zhuge Hongtu had been missing for a whole year!
If it weren’t for the fact that Emperor Shen Qing had been recuperating in the palace recently, Li Mingtai’s life would have been long gone.
Emperor Shen Qing was about to go north to fight.
At that time, no one would be able to protect Li Mingtai!
This time, the Fifth Prince had come to Yuntai Town with the determination to die.
Zhuge Hongtu, who had been missing for a year, was basically a dead man in their hearts.
But even if there was a glimmer of hope, Li Mingtai had to make this trip.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a gamble before he died!
Li Mingtai would rather die at the hands of the demons than at the hands of his so-called brothers and sisters.
He hated it!
..
It was obvious that Li Mingtai was suppressing too many things in his heart.
With Su Mu’s question, it was as if he had opened up a chatterbox and began to talk about his own experiences.
Moreover, he poured out all his grievances with a pale expression.
On this trip, Li Mingtai was determined to die.
The twenty men around him were Zhuge Hongtu and his most loyal subordinates. They were willing to accompany him even though they knew it was extremely dangerous.
This was his final gamble!
“I’ve answered your question, now it’s my turn.”
“The second question, Uncle Zhuge…Had he died at the hands of that tree demon?”
Li Mingtai also realized that he had said too much. After suppressing his emotions, he asked nervously.
The answer to this question was related to his life and death!
” Zhuge Hongtu didn’t die in the hands of that tree demon. He…”
Halfway through his words, Su Mu’s translucent body suddenly trembled and began to dissipate.
The wandering soul that he had transformed into was too weak. It had only been a short while before he welcomed the end of his life.
“How is he? How is Uncle Zhuge? Tell me, tell me!”
Seeing this scene, Li Mingtai was first stunned in disbelief, then he shouted anxiously.
But Su Mu could no longer hold on.
A gentle breeze blew over, and the afterimages of the wandering souls completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind.
It was as if he had never been to this world before.
Su Mu’s first life in the new instance dungeon had ended.
※※※※※※
[This simulation has ended.]
[Rating: F]
[Dungeon Completion Rate: 6%]
[Points Obtained: 35]
[Remarks: You only have 12 years in your short life, but it’s not easy for you to survive for three years in a place where demons run rampant! Please continue to work hard!]
[Hint: The completion rate is less than 90%. This dungeon is not completed. You cannot leave.]
The next moment, Su Mu returned to the white standby space.
He rubbed the space between his eyebrows and started thinking quickly.
According to history, Fifth Prince Li Mingtai had survived this seemingly fatal mission and became the next Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
And a fatuous ruler!
As for the red dragon centipede, it became the Imperial Advisor of Da Qian and kept absorbing the fate of Da Qian in an attempt to transform into a dragon.
It seemed that the Red Dragon Centipede’s target was not Zhuge Hongtu.
It was Li Mingtai, who was behind Zhuge Hongtu!
This demon was too cunning!
It used Yuntai Town as bait to lure Zhuge Hongtu out.
He used Zhuge Hongtu as bait to lure Li Mingtai out.
Fishing layer by layer, the goal was very big!
In the future, Li Mingtai, who had no background and no power, might be able to successfully inherit the throne because of this monster!
Only then could the red dragon centipede achieve its goal of raising a demon with the providence of a country!
In this way, it is not that the country is about to perish, but that there must be evil spirits.
Instead, it was a demon that caused chaos and the country was about to perish?
..
Su Mu held his chin and pondered.
These were all his initial guesses and he could not be completely sure.
If he wanted to know the truth, he would have to explore the instance dungeon again.
After his first life, Su Mu had obtained a lot of information, but there were still many questions that had not been answered.
The biggest question was whether Yun Qingkong and Zhuge Hongtu were dead or not.
It was fine if he didn’t die.
If he died…The final boss of this dungeon world couldn’t be that red dragon centipede, right?
He couldn’t deal with that ferocious giant demon!
Thinking of this, Su Mu felt a headache.
However, he was not too distressed. After all, the final answer would appear in the simulations.
It was better to think about how to live in the next life.
Thinking of this, Su Mu’s eyes flashed and he opened his talent panel to choose.
After looking at the ten talents, he finally set his eyes on the talent [Many Children, Many Blessings].
“The more children you have, the better luck you will have. The probability of pregnancy and having multiple children will increase by 300%. The more children you have, the better luck you will have.”(Green Talent)
This talent was very meaningful!
If he did not choose, he would be letting down the system’s good intentions.
It seems that in the next life, Su Mu would have to change his way of living.
