Chapter 198 Identity

Chapter 198 Identity

"I've said it before, I don't care who you really are. Now that you're inside my body, you are the sixth prince of the Mo Yun Kingdom."

"However, Bai Ke has already noticed my abnormality. When I left, I heard that soldiers were already on their way. Presumably, everyone has already begun to suspect me."

"Rest assured, if I say you are you, then you are. I am the ruler, and you are the subject. I am the king, and you are the prince. Now that I have chosen you, who in the world can question me!"

"Thank you for your protection, Your Majesty! But... I wonder why Your Majesty is helping me so much?" the Sixth Prince, or rather, Li Mu, asked.

Li Mu is the name of the otherworldly soul that transmigrated into the body of the sixth prince and devoured the souls of the sixth prince and the ancient cultivator.

The king chuckled softly, "Heh, just as I thought. It's so much easier talking to smart people! But you don't need to suspect me of having any ulterior motives; I simply want to help you!"

"Help me? Why?" Li Mu asked, puzzled.

"Because we have a common enemy. Helping you is helping me!"

"A common enemy? You don't mean Bai Ke, do you?"

"Yes, it really is him."

"Why would you be his enemy? He's from the Tian Ce Palace. If you're going to hate someone, you should hate the Tian Ce Palace, right? Is it because he has repeatedly embarrassed you, the dignified ruler of the Mo Yun Kingdom?"

"Hmph, blame him for being so arrogant and conceited. What is Tian Ce Palace anyway? He's nothing but a dog of Tian Ce Palace."

"That dog got all cocky because of its owner; I need to teach it that not just anyone can be bitten!"

"Is it really?"

"What else do you think?"

"I thought...you had other reasons besides that! How can I believe you if you don't explain clearly before saying you're helping me?"

"I don't need your trust! I just need you to do some things for me. We can cooperate, why don't you consider it?"

"Cooperation? What do you mean?"

"Of course, it's about dealing with our common enemy, Bai Ke! I can provide you with magical artifacts, resources, and supplies. All you need to do is trip up Bai Ke along the way and eliminate him at the crucial moment, is that all?"

"Deal with Bai Ke? Are you kidding me? You saw it yourself, I used all my skills today, including formations and his junior brother holding him back, but I still couldn't get rid of him."

Now you're trying to get me to cooperate and solve Bai Ke's problem? Your Majesty, are you making fun of me?

"Although I am now in your hands, I am not someone to be trifled with. You may kill me or do whatever you wish," Li Mu said sternly to the king.

"My sixth prince is joking! Since I brought you here to tell you these things, why would I be making fun of you?"

What I just told you was the truth. I'll provide the conditions for you to eliminate Bai Ke. We'll work together to defeat our common enemy.

Do I have a choice?

"Of course!"

What would happen if I chose not to cooperate?

"Then it's estimated that people will find your body and retrieve it from the moat a few days later."

"Upon learning the news, I will be heartbroken and issue an obituary to announce the passing of my sixth prince to the entire realm. This will also serve as an explanation to those in the Tian Ce Palace."

"Heh, it seems I actually had no choice!" The King of Moyun Kingdom smiled but did not reply.

"Fine, I'll cooperate. But you have to tell me your real reason for targeting Bai Ke."

Upon hearing this, the king's eyes flickered. "Heh, sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing. You should know the saying, 'It's good to be confused sometimes.'"

Since you've chosen to cooperate, don't be so curious about me; just focus on doing things honestly.

"Otherwise, if you anger me, you know the consequences, my sixth prince!" The king of Moyun stepped forward, patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and whispered in Li Mu's ear.

He then straightened up and said, "These next few days, you should stay in this palace to avoid trouble. I will handle things outside."

"You should focus on cultivating your skills. I'll send some reliable attendants to take care of you. Also, take this!"

As he spoke, the King of Moyun Kingdom took out an object and a book from his bosom.

"Bai Ke has a deck of cards that is quite unusual and rare. You must have already witnessed the power of that deck."

Li Mu couldn't help but recall the strange beast that had run out of the cards, and he shuddered again, nodding in strong agreement.

"Since that's Bai Ke's magical artifact, it must have already recognized its master. That makes things much easier!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu looked up at the King of Moyun Kingdom with a puzzled expression.

"Take these two. This magical artifact and this book are used together to deal with those who have already been bound to the artifact!"

If you practice the magic array according to this book, the magic array can affect the interaction between the magic weapon and its owner.

With this magical artifact added to the mix, even if Bai Ke doesn't die, he'll be severely injured!

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Of course it's true. You should focus on learning this formation these next few days. After a while, the people from Tian Ce Palace will probably be going back."

You can lead your men to ambush them on the way, catching them completely off guard. Once this storm has passed, you can reappear, and I'll find a reason to clear your name.

"At that time, you will still be the sixth prince of the Moyun Kingdom!"

"Yes, Father, I understand!"

"Hahaha, what a fine son of mine!" The two men exchanged a glance and laughed.

Meanwhile, in the Sixth Prince's residence, while the disciples were still dealing with the corpse, General Elu was also among them.

Just as he was about to finish off a corpse, he was suddenly caught off guard and, without realizing it, had his neck tightly gripped by a corpse behind him.

In an instant, his face turned bright red from gasping for breath. He also wanted to use his magic to kill the corpse behind him.

But her neck was being choked so tightly that her brain was deprived of oxygen, and she had no strength left to resist.

Meanwhile, his disciples were all focused on the battle and couldn't spare the time to come to his rescue.

The soldiers in the distance saw this scene, but they dared not approach. Those corpses were truly horrific; the men who had just vomited were still reeling.

"Help...help me!" With a strong will to survive, E'lu forcefully pried open the corpse's hand that was choking him and screamed at Bai Ke and the others.

But Bai Ke didn't react at all, still quietly watching the scene unfold before him.

The soldiers simply couldn't bear to watch any longer, fearing that Elu would really be strangled to death.

Several people approached Bai Ke and the elder, bowed respectfully, and pleaded, "Please, Young Master Bai and this elder, save General Elu!"
