Chapter 354: Finally Trapped
Jing Menghun and Yin Wutian widened their eyes in shock, gasping for air as if they had seen a ghost! They looked at the pile of jade shards with cold sweat pouring down like a river!
What... is this the Prime Minister?
Isn't the Prime Minister supposed to be ignorant of martial arts?
What... is going on here?
This is Purple Jade! The hardness is more than ten times that of granite!
Let’s not even talk about it; even for someone of Jing Menghun's ninth rank throne level, wanting to crush it to the extent that Diwu Qingrou has achieved would be absolutely impossible!
Moreover, the gap is too vast!
Could it be that the Prime Minister is actually... a peerless expert? An imperial level expert?
Faced with Diwu Qingrou’s raging anger, both Jing Menghun and Yin Wutian dared not utter a word, their heads lowered as they stood there, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"Hmph!" Diwu Qingrou snorted coldly, stood up tall, and suddenly burst into a furious laugh, roaring: "To think you can play me, Diwu Qingrou, for a fool and do it so thoroughly, Young Master Wei! You're the first in the world!"
He panted heavily, his eyes flashing like purple lightning, scanning back and forth with extreme sharpness. When his gaze landed on Jing Menghun and Yin Wutian, both felt as though their skin was being cut open by his piercing glare.
After a long while, Diwu Qingrou finally restrained his aura and slowly sat down.
"Prime Minister... are you... okay?" Jing Menghun cautiously asked.
"I'm fine." Diwu Qingrou replied in a muffled voice, then sighed towards the heavens, lamenting: "A once-in-a-millennium golden opportunity... and it just slipped away so lightly... what a pity! What a pity!"
"Once in a millennium?"
"This sovereign throne... what kind of sovereign throne is this..." Diwu Qingrou's veins bulged on his hands as he gripped the armrest of the chair tightly, coldly snorting: "It's obviously the Nine Calamity Sword Master!"
"Ah?" Jing Menghun and Yin Wutian felt as though a thunderclap echoed beside their ears, their faces going pale as their bodies shook.
"Nine... Nine... Nine Calamity Sword Master..." Yin Wutian stuttered, feeling dizzy.
Oh my heavens, I have actually coexisted with the Nine Calamity Sword Master for so long? Moreover, I was once scolded fiercely by the Nine Calamity Sword Master...
In that moment, Yin Wutian's anger dissipated completely, and deep down, there was a faint sense of glory: the Nine Calamity Sword Master, oh my, that’s the Nine Calamity Sword Master...
So mysterious, the master of the entire Nine Heavens Continent, the Nine Calamity Sword Master... sob...
"What Nine-Section Lotus Root! He was looking for the Nine Calamity Sword! The third section!" Diwu Qingrou's spit nearly sprayed onto Yin Wutian's head: "Right under your foolish eyelids, he took the third section of the Nine Calamity Sword!"
Diwu Qingrou's restraint had reached its peak; he usually wouldn't lose his composure, but today, he was in a complete rage.
The reason is simple!
The Nine Calamity Sword! The Nine Calamity Sword Master!
This concerns the fate of the nine great sovereign families of the upper three heavens.
He appeared before me, then vanished; furthermore, he took away the third section of the Nine Calamity Sword!
"From this, it can be seen; that young master from the Ye Family that you brought to the treasure vault that day... is undoubtedly the Nine Calamity Sword Master!" Diwu Qingrou paced hurriedly in the room: "This matter is clearly a trap set by Young Master Wei and the Nine Calamity Sword Master!"
Jing Menghun and Yin Wutian exchanged glances.
"Otherwise... if the Prime Minister has connections, you could go to the middle three heavens to ask Young Master Wei for an explanation..." Jing Menghun boldly proposed.
"What kind of nonsense is that? The Nine Calamity Sword has emerged, and the upper three heavens is destined for a regime change; Young Master Wei would love to see all the nine great families of the upper three heavens wiped out so that his family could rise to power. How could he possibly tell me anything? Besides... Young Master Wei has already latched onto the Nine Calamity Sword Master's leg. As long as the Nine Calamity Sword Master is alive, he will succeed sooner or later. Young Master Wei will surely ascend to power, so why would he reveal any information to me? Do you want me to ask him? Wouldn't that be offering my other cheek after being slapped on one side? Isn’t that foolish?"
