Emperor’s Domination

d thoughts were impossible to read.

“After hearing about his death, I thought he would pass the throne to you because you have followed him for three generations with numerous contributions. Plus, youre the only one who can handle the responsibility. Who would have thought he would pass it to an unknown junior? What a shame and such unfairness towards you. Lucidity King made a mistake.” The ancestor criticized.

“Thank you, Brother Sun, but lets not talk about the past. I am here today to ask you for help.” Lengying showed no emotion.

“You are one of the top Eternals in the present day, you make me feel inadequate in comparison.” The ancestor smiled: “Not to mention you are in charge of Silver Secret, more than enough to sweep through the world and always be victorious. An old man like me cant offer much help.”

“Dont be so quick to refuse, Brother Mu, I wont ask you to help for nothing. Plus, the Mu wouldnt help an outsider for no reason anyway, right?” Lengying said directly.

“Im sure whatever you have in mind is amazing, but certainly not easy either, so if you cant do yourself, we wont be that helpful either.” The ancestor said.

“Is that so? Brother Mu, are you not interested even when all of Nine Secrets are up for the taking?” Lengying stared at him and asked.

“Youre joking, Brother Sun.” The ancestor smiled: “Though I havent been outside, Ive heard that Silver Secret has sealed the external pathways, rendering it virtually impossible for outsiders to come in.”

“Am I not here right now before you as a guest?” Lengying said.

“Thats an interesting comment, but I know you are completely loyal to Lucidity King. No one would question this, so I have a hard time believing that you would have any ideas towards Nine Secrets.”

“I am indeed loyal to His Majesty.” Lengying said: “However, he has passed away so there is nothing worth remembering in the system. I know that you wouldnt miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can topple Nine Secrets, your name will go down in the historical annals as well as your clans text along with the old sages of the Mu.”

“That is indeed tempting, but Im afraid I will still have no say no.” The ancestor shook his head with a smile.

He stared straight at Lengying and said: “Yes, your system has been sealed but Ive heard that the new king is unbeatable. He killed War King and supreme ancestors such as Bingchi Juezun.”

He paused for a bit: “Thats why I dont think our clan wants to get involved in this mess. Im taking back my earlier statement, Lucidity King clearly knew that this youth was exceptional before passing the throne to him.”

Lengying replied: “I cant and wont deny the new kings power. He surprised everyone by killing those guys.”

“Thats why I said we cant help even if we wanted to.” The ancestor said: “We both know how strong those ancestors were. Even if I go all out, I would only get a draw against War King, or to be generous, maybe Im a little bit stronger. Your kings power exceeded everyones expectations, and our clan doesnt need to provoke such a powerful foe. Im sorry, we wont be able to help you, Brother Sun. We do feel indignant that you didnt get rewarded for your loyalty to Nine Secrets.”

“I accept your sincerity, Brother Mu.” Lengying smiled: “But it looks like fear is paralyzing you just like in the past when you were up versus Lucidity King. Your hesitation and lack of decisiveness made you miss many great opportunities.”

“Brother Sun, your psychological taunting is useless against me. Im no longer a hot-headed youth who get riles up by these comments. Please leave.” The ancestor smiled and said.
