Chapter 1992
"Henry, you've finally made it out!"
Milborne walked out of the Tai Chi Ruins, cupping his fist before his chest and smiling at Henry.
"Thank you for your concern, Cloud Emperor. Are your men all right?"
Henry also cupped his fist before his chest.
"We're fine. It's just some giant beasts, they may be fierce, but they aren't very intelligent. We are armed, we can protect ourselves!"
Milborne paused, then said, "It's just that we all have no divine powers now, therefore we must unite, so as not to be led to out deaths in the Forbidden Zones by some people!"
As Milborne spoke, he turned around and looked at Ludwig, who was sitting on the ground in the Tai Chi Ruins.
The meaning behind his words could not be more obvious.
At that moment, no one had any divine powers, and one's strength could no longer be measured through one's realm, strength could only come in numbers.
The Grand Xia Dynasty knew of the situation in the Restricted Zones, and were well-prepared for it. Naturally, they had the most men, plus they were also very well armed.
Although Henry's team only had four to five people, they were all experts. Even without any divine powers, their capabilities were not to be underestimated.
Which was why Milborne immediately stepped out of the Tai Chi Ruins to form an alliance with Henry.
His number of men were slightly fewer than that of the Grand Xia Dynasty. Only by uniting with Henry and the others would he be able to suppress Ludwig.
"The Cloud Emperor is right. Everyone is currently in danger. It's true that we need to stick together and work as a team..." Henry walked towards a knocked-down wall within the Tai Chi Ruins and looked at Ludwig with a smile. "Sixth Prince, what do you think?"
"I..." Ludwig was speechless.
He had long known that Virpids the Old Devil was actually Henry in disguise.
Henry had slapped him twice and worked with Diarmi to capture him into the Sacred Empire.
He hated Henry to the core! Now that they were in the Restricted Zone, he was hoping that Henry would die there. He had intended to ignore Henry completely.
However, unexpected to him, Henry took the initiative to talk to him.
That was clearly provocation! "Dear Sixth Prince, although we had some grudges in the past, now that we're all in the Restricted Zones, I think it would be best for us to let go of our past issues and work together as a team!"
Henry smiled lazily and said, "When we get out of the Restricted Zones, you can still seek me for revenge!"
"Humph! When you get out of here, you'll be in the protection of the Hong Clan. How would I have the chance to kill you?"
Ludwig harrumphed in annoyance.
"Does that mean you are going to set yourself against Henry?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Milborne approached them and said coldly, "Prince Xia, the Thundercloud Empire has already formed an alliance with Henry. If you act against him, you will be seen as an enemy of the Thundercloud Empire!"
"If we join forces, the people of the Grand Xia Dynasty won't be a match for us, right?"
Milborne sneered again.
"This..." Ludwig got to his feet, speechless.
There were also quite a number of people from the Thundercloud Empire. They had forced Ludwig to spill quite a lot of information regarding the Restricted Zones back then. Now, with the addition of Henry and his group of friends, there was no way Ludwig could fight back against them! "Alright, let's forget about the past and work together to repair the Tai Chi Ruins and create a formation once more!"
Ludwig paused and cast a cold glance at Henry. "However, we have to choose a leader to manage and command, just in case someone stirs up trouble!"
"Of course!"
Henry said with a smile, "Who do you think shall be the leader among us?"
"The Cloud Emperor... of course!"
Ludwig said somewhat unwillingly.
He had wanted to be the leader, but Milborne and Henry would definitely not agree to that.
Henry, however, could never be the leader.
Therefore, Ludwig recommended Milborne be the leader.
"Since you trust the Cloud Emperor, I shall trust him too. Furthermore, he is the Imperial Lord of the Thundercloud Empire, and has a high status. It's only natural for him to be the leader!"
Henry looked at Ludwig and said with a smile.
"Humph! You're sly and cunning. At least the Cloud Emperor is more trustworthy than you!"
Ludwig snorted.
"Alright, then we both shall recommend the Cloud Emperor as our leader. Let's work together and get out of the Restricted Zones, then we'll talk!" Henry looked at Milborne again.
"Thank you! Thank you for your trust in me! If that's the case I shall accept it with grace!"
Milborne took full responsibility and began give out commands, "Henry, you and your few friends shall lead a team of elites of the Thundercloud Empire to patrol the outer areas of Tai Chi Ruins and kill the oncoming beasts!"
"Yes sir!"
ton
Henry answered, cupping his fist before his chest.
"Prince Xia, you people of the Grand Xia Dynasty can stop defending the outside of the Tai Chi Ruins. All of you should come back in and repair the ruins as quickly as possible. The sooner it is fixed, the sooner you can seat the eight gates and take us back!"
Milborne commanded Ludwig again.
"All right!"
Ludwig followed Milborne's instructions and called all of the people of the Great Xia Dynasty in. He put down his weapon and began to move the huge stones and repair the Tai Chi Ruins.
"Henry, you sit down and rest. Have something to eat before patrolling!"
Milborne invited Henry to sit at the altar in the center of the ruins with a welcoming smile.
In the middle of the altar, there was a Tai Chi pattern. It rotated slowly and glimmered gently, giving off a mysterious aura.
By the side of the altar, there were eight colourful beams of light, which probably represented eight doors.
"Brother Henry, don't touch those beams of light, otherwise, you will be transmitted to the eight-gate dimension!"
Cesia reminded Henry.
"Is that so?"
Henry looked at the eight beams of light and sat behind the yellow beam of light.
"Yes, these eight light columns are also Transmitting Formations. Once you enter them, you'll be sent to the eight-gate dimension!"
Cesia continued to explain, "We can only wait until everyone has repaired the Tai Chi Ruins and for Prince Xia to cast his spell to seal the eight gates, only then the eight pillars of light will disappear."
"Oh..." Everyone sat around the Tai Chi pattern. Behind them were the eight Transmitting Pillars of Light.
"Be careful, the yellow light pillar will take you to the Gate of Death. If you accidentally fall into it, you will die!"
Ludwig looked at Henry and sneered.
"Weren't you looking forward to my death?
If I just fall into the death door, wouldn't that be nice?"
Henry replied with a lazy smile.
"You...you really are a snake. You don't know how to appreciate another man's good intentions!"
Ludwig scolded, "I'm only kindly reminding you because we're working together on the same team, yet you are here trying to piss me off!"
"Forget it, quit quarrelling. Go bring the roasted meat here, we'll talk as we eat."
Milborne came over to mediate the dispute, then asked someone of the Thundercloud Empire to bring in the many pieces of roasted meat and placed a large plate of it in front of each of them.
Those roasted meats seemed to be
the meat of those huge beasts. They were roasted until they were golden brown, and looked very alluring! The Divine Baby suddenly became energetic, and flapped his wings with great effort, and sped in front of
Milborne. After snatching over Milborne's piece of roast meat, the
Divine Baby began to chomping on it in large mouthfuls! "Er..." Everyone was speechless.
"Little Baby, why would you go and snatch the Cloud Emperor's meat, instead of eating your own?"
Cesia's said, her brows were furrowed.
"He's just a food thief. He wants to eat the Cloud Emperor's food before he eats his own!"
Ranjeet said angrily, "Back then when we were in Hong Mountain, it always snatched my drumstick!"
"Oh..." Cesia was stunned for a moment, then she shouted: "Little Baby, I'll give you my roasted meat. Stop snatching the Cloud Emperor's!"
Unexpectedly, the Divine Baby ignored her completely.
He would usually rush over and call her "mom".
Cesia was stunned.
"Come here, Little Baby!"
Henry shouted. The Divine Baby then went over and sat in his arms while chewing on Milborne's piece of roast meat.
"Little Treasure isn't being a food thief. He just knows that the meat in front of us isn't safe to be eaten!"
Henry said with a faint smile.
"Why not?"
"Because it's poisonous, of course!"
Henry said as his face darkened, and his eyes were instantly cold as he looked at a person!
