Indestructible God King

Chapter 47.1 Do you guys still remember me, Wang Ke? (1/2)
Zhu Cultivation Town—in a secret water dungeon of the She Clan.

Princess Youyue was locked up in one of the dungeon’s cages; she was shooting an icy stare icily at She Tianba, who was standing outside.

“Princess Youyue? I’m sure you didn’t expect to be here again, especially in such a short time!” She Tianba mocked her, looking proud.

“She Tianba, it’s still too early to be confident!” Princess Youyue retorted sternly.

“Too early to be confident? Humph, the fact is, I should have been confident earlier! Only now did I learn that I had an ancestral aunt who has a high position in the Heavenly Wolf Sect! But why? Why did she neglect my clan? Have you any idea of the difficulties I’ve gone through to lead the She Clan? I begged to enter an immortal sect but was rejected, while she sat comfortably since she had an influential position. She showed no care to us! Why would she do that? And now she comes to find me, after all this time?” Anger flashed in She Tianba’s eyes.

“She Miejue came to find you, and yet you’re unhappy?” Princess Youyue couldn’t understand him.

“If only she had come half a year earlier! Half a year earlier!” She Tianba bemoaned.

“You are not a demonic sect disciple. What are you complaining about? Isn’t it in your best interest that She Miejue refers you to the Heavenly Wolf Sect?” the princess asked with a confused frown.

But She Tianba coldly stared back at her, not offering any explanation.

“Forget it! I will pretend that I don’t have this ancestral aunt. She will send someone to fetch you within these few days! Try to leave before the time comes. Humph!” She Tianba said indifferently.

“She Miejue? She must be crazy! She put me here so you would keep an eye on me?” Princess Youyue complained in frustration.

“You talk to her! But I think you won’t live for long!” She Tianba laughed sinisterly.

“No, someone will come to rescue me very soon!” Princess Youyue rebutted, unwilling to accept her fate.

“Rescue you? Hahaha, do you know where you are? This is our She Clan’s water dungeon. No one can save you while you’re here!” She Tianba said.

“Wasn’t I rescued the last time? If it was done the last time, it can be done this time too!” The princess was confident.

“The previous time?” She Tianba’s face turned black.

The last time he had been fooled into handing over the princess, which was a great humiliation.

“No, it won’t happen this time. I was deceived by Wang Ke’s lies and confused by the voices outside. This time, I sealed this place so that no one is able to enter. I won’t hear any lies, there won’t be another rescue through deception!” She Tianba said in a calculating manner.

“You…!” Princess Youyue was dismayed.

“Just two more days, and my ancestral aunt’s people will be here to get you. I will be relieved of my responsibilities when you die! Don’t worry. Others will keep you company!” She Tianba laughed.

“Keep me company? Who?” The princess had a bad feeling.

“Who else? Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao, of course! They were really lucky to get themselves enrolled in the Heavenly Wolf Sect. I’m sure they care about whether you live or die!” She Tianba laughed.

“What do you mean?” Princess Youyue asked, clearly concerned.

“Nothing. If they want to rescue you, they will need to leave the Heavenly Wolf Sect. I guarantee you that they will die a miserable death!” She Tianba smirked.

“Impossible! You’re no match for them!” Princess Youyue started to become anxious.

The princess had quietly left her Longing Orb behind so that Wang Ke and Zhang Zhengdao could rescue her. She would feel awfully guilty if they died because of her!

“Hahaha, just you wait!” She Tianba cackled arrogantly.

“She Tianba, explain yourself! Why would Wang Ke be in danger when he steps out of the Heavenly Wolf Sect? Tell me!” Princess Youyue yelled behind the cell bars.

But She Tianba ignored her and walked to the other side of the dungeon.

There were members of the She Clan waiting for him.

“Clan Lord, will you be staying in the dungeon again today?” a clan member asked.

“Yes. Our ancestral aunt will be here in two days; we must make sure nothing goes wrong. Don’t let others know about this either, to avoid any mishaps!” She Tianba instructed.

“Don’t worry, Clan Lord, only three people in our clan know that the princess is here. The other clan members don’t even know about this place. We won’t make the same mistake as the last time!” the clan member responded respectfully.

“Yes. I heard too many rumors about Wang Ke from them! I was also deceived again and again by him. I won’t listen to any rumors this time! I will be here, cultivating in seclusion while our ancestral aunt arrives!” She Tianba agreed.

“Yes, Clan Lord!” the clan member acknowledged.

“My ancestral aunt gave me a flying sword; I will refine it well. You and the rest focus on managing the clan’s general matters. Nothing must go awry!” She Tianba commanded.

“Yes, Clan Lord!”

“You may go. No one is allowed to enter before my ancestral aunt arrives! Seal the place. I don’t want to hear a peep from the exterior!” She Tianba ordered.

“Yes, Clan Lord!” said the clan member before he left the dungeon. The dungeon’s stone gates were shut with a loud bang.

She Tianba then sat down cross-legged by a corner; he summoned his flying sword on his palm and began to refine it.

As for Princess Youyue, She Tianba didn’t take anything from her because She Miejue had cast a protective mechanism on her, such that he couldn’t even go near her!

“She Tianba, you better explain yourself! Why is Wang Ke in danger? Why?” Princess Youyue urged anxiously.

But She Tianba was fully focused on studying his flying sword.

The princess’ worry grew. I left the Longing Orb behind, which ended up harming Wang Ke?

It’s already been a month since; has Wang Ke already…?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. But just as her worry started to grow, she heard someone’s voice.

“Everyone! Do you guys still remember me, Wang Ke?”

The voice could hardly be heard, as though it was coming from the deepest part of her heart. She was astonished.

“Wang Ke’s voice? How is that possible?” Princess Youyue muttered in shock.

She immediately calmed herself and closed her eyes to sense the voice. She could see Wang Ke in her mind; he was dressed in a black robe while standing on a platform. He was surrounded by people on the platform. Is Wang Ke giving a speech?

Wang Ke is speaking to a crowd?What’s happening?Why do I see this in my mind?

Princess Youyue suddenly realized something.

I got it. It’s the Longing Orb! The artifact my mother gave me, the bracelet made with female Longing Orbs? My mother altered it in such a way that I’m telepathically connected to it. I can sense the scene and the beads’ location whenever they are close to me. She Miejue threw it away back in the mortals’ empire. And now, it’s nearby? I can even see what’s happening over there! Wang Ke! He found that string of beads and brought it here! He’s here to rescue me! Is he okay? He’s okay! She Tianba is lying to me!

Princess Youyue wiped her tears of joy.

She Tianba—who was refining his flying sword nearby—was at a loss. He was confused about what had happened to the princess.

Princess Youyue tried to make contact with the bracelet but to no avail; she could only sense the images and voices in the bracelet’s surroundings.

It was being worn by Wang Ke, who was standing on the platform, speaking eloquently to a massive audience.

Wang Ke, thank you for coming to rescue me! Princess Youyue sat down feeling gratified; she closed her eyes and gently watched Wang Ke in action.

Zhu Cultivation Town! In the main hall of a cultivation clan.

“Bang!”

A teacup was smashed against the ground; a group of clan members was looking at their clan lord who had just smashed the teacup.

“She Tianba, what a bully! He told me to ask Wang Ke for the money? He borrowed the money from me back then. And now, the She Clan refuses to return the money, even injuring you guys when you also tried to recover the money?” That Clan Lord was incensed.

“That’s right, Clan Lord! Not only us; other clans went to seek repayment. All of them failed and ended up being beaten. Of course, many members of the She Clan were injured too. We…!” said a clan member with a bitter face.

“Clan Lord, when will you give us this month’s pay? My cultivation has reached a bottleneck; I need the money to buy spiritual herbs to overcome it!

“Lord, I had to fight a demonic beast with my life on the line to gather those spiritual herbs. You said our clan would pay me back accordingly. I really need those spirit stones, urgently. Clan Lord, could you…!”

“Clan Lord, I have no money to buy cultivation materials!”

“Clan Lord, when can I withdraw the savings I deposited in our clan? I’m running out of food!”

……………………

………………

…………

The clan members urged their clan lord.

“All you know is how to hurry me. I would have given you the money if I had it! The She Clan took all our money!” said that clan lord in frustration.

“Clan Lord, did you ever consult with us before you lent it to She Tianba to help in dealing with Wang Ke?” someone complained.

The other clan members were also exasperated due to their pressing need for money; they also joined in as they challenged their clan lord’s authority, which annoyed the clan lord even more. And so, a family conflict started, which was about to evolve into a mutiny.

But at that moment—while everyone was shouting at the top of their lungs—a house butler dashed into the hall.

“Clan Lord, a messenger came just now, claiming to have a way to resolve your troubles!” The butler presented a letter to the clan lord.

“Resolve my troubles? That would only happen if She Tianba returned the money!” The clan lord grumpily opened the letter nevertheless.

Only one string of words was written on it.

“Want your financial product investment back? The money She Tianba cheated from you too? Noontime. Gongyi Teahouse. Generous money distribution! Don’t be late!”

The clan lord’s eyelids twitched as he finished reading the message. He then clenched his fist.

Noontime?Gongyi Teahouse?Generous distribution of money?Generous distribution of money?Could it be…?

“Clan Lord? What’s the letter about?” a clan member asked.

“Money? There’s money? Quick! Summon all the clan members, we will head to Gongyi Teahouse. I really want to see where this money comes from!” The clan lord immediately gave the order.

The clan members present were stunned after hearing that there was money to be had. They quickly grabbed the letter and wondered who had sent it. However, the identity wasn’t as important; they would learn the truth at noontime. Nothing would be lost by going anyway! What if the letter was real! Of course, they had to go!

This didn’t just happen in that clan; similar things happened in most, if not all the clans in town. All the ordinary cultivators who had bought financial products had also received copies of that letter.

Before noon, Gongyi Teahouse was already swarmed with people.

Still, the teahouse’s employees seemed to be well prepared; they pointed everyone toward the back court.

The area was vast, like a spacious square; it could hold thousands of people.

The number of powerful cultivators gathered at the back court grew; all of them were curious about the purpose of gathering there. At the same time, they were keeping their eyes on the platform set in the middle of the place.

The crowd could faintly see a man sitting on an armchair behind the curtain on the platform; he was waiting patiently while sipping his tea.

“Where is the shopkeeper of this teahouse? What are you trying to do, gathering us here with such an ambiguous letter?”

“Yeah! Didn’t the letter say there would be a generous distribution of money? Where’s the money then?”

“Are you going to return our money on behalf of Wang Ke and She Tianba? Where’s the money?”

“We will smash this teahouse if we don’t see the money today!”

…………………………

………………

……

The vast back court was instantly flooded by clamoring voices. All the clan lords allowed their members to shout without restraint while they remained silent; they kept their focus on the person behind the curtain with narrowed eyes.

Who is that?He’s really bold, to gather all the powerful cultivators of this town!Isn’t he afraid of an uproar where he can end up being torn to pieces?

The shopkeeper shouted, “Noontime!”

Silence ensued in an instant, while the curtain was drawn slowly.

There was a man dressed in a black robe behind the curtain; he then stood up.

Everyone who saw his face had their eyes as wide as they would go. They were like hungry dogs, having just seen fleshy bones and being unable to contain the urge to pounce and eat him up alive!

“Everyone! Do you guys still remember me, Wang Ke?”

The person behind the curtain was none other than Wang Ke! He put down the teacup and flashed a smile at the audience.

Do we still remember you, Wang Ke?We would recognize you even if you turned into ashes. You charlatan! You have the face to come back?

Return our money! Return our money now!
