Master of Untold Daos Chapter 475 - S-ranked Mission

Chapter 475: S-ranked Mission

Chen Ming activated the Soul Bead and countless souls flew out towards the Heart Enlightenment Tree. They disappeared without a trace as if the tree was akin to a door to a new world.

The tree didn’t change as much as last time, only grew more Heart Enlightenment Fruits. These were plump and round, as well as soft. When it fell in his hand, it gave an incredibly cozy feeling.

It seems souls do affect Heart Enlightenment Tree’s harvest.

The four Domains relied on these souls to obtain more and more items from their Trees of Martyrs.

Although the 5th stage brought about a monumental change, why would Chen Ming worry about it? Heart Enlightenment Tree was at the 2nd stage and had a long way until it grew to a 5th stage.

The 4th stage was the safest. I need to get it that far first.

If even 400 tones did not affect it, Chen Ming guessed the Heart Enlightenment Tree had to be a fraction away from the 2nd stage to grow from only 50 tones. At this point, he’d have to feed a large number of souls to grow it further.

He had to have the Desolate Constellation under control!

As for the four Domains and Crownless a.s.sembly, he didn’t have it in him to fight them yet.

Yan Mountain’s current power was comparable to a true Faceless’ faction. Nr. 6 and he should now be on equal standing.

But ending a Faceless at the moment would make all the others vigilant.

Nr. 0 was the perfect role model. When he was but a Faceless he rose to Relentless in just one night. This was the safest path for him to take.

He needed power. Once the war started, the world would change!

Only by partic.i.p.ating in the Supreme Gathering would he have the right to live justly and honorably in the Galaxy.

And the Desolate Constellation was Heaven’s way of bestowing me a land of treasures. A land that brought with it a rich harvest of souls and resources. But the best thing about it was the barbarians and cultivators had close to no contact, blocked by the language barrier.

This was a place everyone ignored.

As for Yan Mountain of before, they were nothing more than a beast herding sect, since Li Suyi and Ling Xian still lacked in the beast language department for verbal combat.

Leaving Nu Xiao hanging for so long should have kicked him off his high horse.

He would have the advantage in the negotiations since Chen Ming’s att.i.tude had nothing to do with it, not when Nu Xiao was the one asking for help.

With this in mind, Chen Ming walked inside Yan Mountain branch’s hall where Ling Xian made a report, “Master, Nu Xiao requests an audience.”

“Perfect timing, show him in. Later, Yan Mountain’s core will be placed in the Desolate Star Cl.u.s.ter. Even the four Domains along with Crownless a.s.sembly and the fiends only have 28 under control.”

Ling Xian smiled, “Disciple understands.”

Nu Xiao stepped in a moment later and bowed, “Revered Khan, you have given me hope in an hour of desperate crisis by saving me when you had the extermination duel with Gu Tu. I am most grateful! I, Nu Xiao, owe Khan my life!”

Chen Ming chuckled, But what you don’t know is that I waited three days for you to be near your breaking point before helping you. “I did this for out of warrior’s honor, as Gu Tu no longer had the right to be one!”

Nu Xiao’s heart trembled, Does this foxkin khan truly believes in the warrior code?

Nu Xiao continued, “My brother, Nu Feng, killed my mother and hunted me down, all to become the Lion King. Our hatred cannot be amended! My father’s time is running short, and it won’t be long before the royal court will gather. But I am not qualified to partic.i.p.ate and vie for the throne. Nor am I willing to give up!”

“What do you mean?”

“To partic.i.p.ate in the gathering I need to fulfill two conditions. The first is to have the lion race’s golden blood and the second is to have the support of at least one Khan. Despite meeting the first, the khans under me were all killed by Nu Feng.”

“So you say that if I favor you, you can partic.i.p.ate in the struggle for the throne?”

Nu Xiao pleaded, “Yes, revered Khan. Nu Feng has most of the Khans’ favor while I can only rely on your support to fight him!”

“How many khans does your royal court have?”

“More than a hundred should be accurate.”

Chen Ming: …

You want me to fight them, alone?

Leaving aside the fact Gu Tu was a Celestial Immortal, a Khan had to be at least a peak one, if not even a Gold Immortal. Not to mention a Khan also had no less than a hundred thousand immortal beasts. How was he gonna fight them?

That scheming Nu Feng must have caught wind of Nu Xiao’s return. Was he just going to stand and watch him return to the royal court? He definitely set up a ma.s.sive a.s.sa.s.sination force. How can Yan Mountain face them?

Most of his disciples were not even immortals!

Chen Ming never engaged in a losing battle, and this one went beyond what mere tactics and strategies could do to bridge the difference.

War is about using one’s full military might across the entire battlefield and killing your way through!

Forget about winning, when I don’t even have enough to start one!

While on the other hand, Uh, the enemy does have more than ample forces.

“Ding! You triggered the multiple-choice S-ranked storyline mission: The Lion King.

1. Please help Nu Xiao become the next Lion King. Reward: 15 billion spiritual knowledge, 2 million fame, Nu Xiao’s respect, and a mystery reward.

2. Hand Nu Xiao over to Nu Feng. Reward: 0.1 billion spiritual knowledge, 10,000 fame.”

Chen Ming spotted the difference a mile away. It was screaming at him, Helping Nu Xiao means death!

Chen w.a.n.g always told him of how precious his status was, not to engage in senseless danger. It was just not worth it.

Such a pity not once did Chen Ming listen to his grandpa.

Chen Ming declared, “It’s not that I can’t help you, but as you know, for a single khan like myself to escort you to the royal court will need me to fight tens of other khans. I need to prepare.”
