Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: The Tyrannical West Sea
Star City.
Three kilometers from the North Sea underground palace.
Solaris Grove sat on a hillside, holding a flask of liquor in one hand.
Beside him lay many empty Moutai bottles.
Drinking the hardest-to-buy liquor, living like the most miserable dog.
That saying was probably the most accurate portrayal of Solaris Grove at the moment.
Just a day ago, he was the imposing Grand General of the North Sea.
But now, he was like a homeless dog, only able to guard near the underground palace, waiting for the arrival of the Bead.
He had planned to go to the North America Great Temple after escaping from the royal palace last night!
But he accidentally remembered that Bead would come in person.
Presenting the Divine Dragon Tripod.
To ascend to Heaven’s Palace, one must pass through the underground palace.
The North Sea underground palace was not only an alternative palace for rainy days but also a hidden launch center.
It gathered the top technologies of Earth.
Outsiders, upon entering the underground palace, would board a launch pod and be precisely shot into the reception chamber of Heaven’s Palace.
Stepping out of the reception chamber would lead to the grand avenue of Heaven’s Palace.
But before the launch from the underground palace, a password verification was necessary.
Only if the password matched, would Heaven’s Palace side open the hatch.
Bead was bound to pass through here to enter Heaven’s Palace.
Clang!
Solaris Grove threw an empty liquor bottle onto the hillside and burped with his face all red.
Reeking of alcohol.
He looked utterly listless.
Life, it seemed, was nothing more than a joke.
Solaris Grove had thought he would replace the Right Minister and become a founding hero of the North Sea and then propose marriage to Everton Davenport.
But, to his greatest disbelief, he ended up defecting from the North Sea.
Becoming a deserter!
Below, people came and went.
Many guests invited by the North Sea were heading to the underground palace to wait.
Among the crowd, there was a monk.
"Please show your invitation," a North Sea soldier responsible for patrolling commanded.
The area was heavily guarded, with two Grandmasters stationed.
To prevent any disruptions.
Today was a significant day for the North Sea.
The most significant day in nearly a decade!
Crowning and appointing ministers, the king granting marriages!
Here gathered heroes from all over.
Any mishap would be embarrassingly disgraceful.
"No invitation."
Arhat of Homicide, holding the Buddha Beads in one hand, smiled and said, "Please, let me through."
"Attention!"
The defense captain was wary of Arhat of Homicide, took out his walkie-talkie, and called the soldiers stationed at the underground palace.
"This is the North Sea Royal Court, who are you to act so boldly in the North Sea without even an invitation!"
The captain took out his submachine gun and aimed at Arhat of Homicide: "Seize him!"
"Invitation? As a follower of West Sea’s Divine Buddha, who comes to your North Sea, does Town North King dare not to welcome me?" Arhat of Homicide chuckled and shook his head: "Wherever we from the West Sea go, we need no invitations. If the hosts do not welcome us, we simply make ourselves the hosts."
"West Sea?"
The defense captain hesitated.
The Divine Buddha of the West Sea was famously formidable; indeed, offending the West Sea could lead to dire consequences!
But to let him pass directly...
He was torn.
Such a matter needed consultation from Star City’s official.
But before he could take any action, the previously passing soldiers had already reached out their hands to grasp Arhat of Homicide.
"Fellow soldiers, we are all fated to meet." Arhat of Homicide smiled at the two North Sea soldiers in front of him: "This monk shall freely guide you to nirvana!"
Crack!
As soon as he finished—
Arhat’s fingers jabbed out!
The throats of the two North Sea soldiers were instantly crushed.
Stepping back several steps, both men fell straight down.
Dead.
"You..."
Crack!
Before the defense captain could recover, Arhat of Homicide stretched out his hand from a distance!
"Another free passage to nirvana!"
He released his hand and turned to leave.
While the defense captain clasped his neck with both hands, kneeling in agony.
His mouth full of blood.
After walking just five steps.
Arhat of Homicide looked up to the sky.
An airplane swooped down from low altitude.
The fuselage bore four large characters!
West Sea Airlines!
With a leap!
The Arhat of Homicide fiercely jumped, pulling himself up over forty meters into the air, grabbing a metal ring underneath the airplane with one hand.
The airplane soared into the sky, heading straight for the tiny black dot in the center of the sun.
"Notify the Northern King, the Arhat of Homicide from the West Sea Divine Buddha is heading to deliver the king’s son-in-law from The North Sea to the eternal bliss of reincarnation!"
In the sky, the booming voice of the Arhat of Homicide resonated.
The guests were stunned, breaking into a cold sweat.
Was this an attempt to...
Wreck the party?
Openly and in front of foreign guests, sabotaging The North Sea’s occasion!
The Divine Buddha of the West Sea truly is audacious!
"Hurry! Go report to His Majesty!"
The remaining soldiers panicked, rushing inside to phone the Heavenly Palace.
West Sea had actually used an airplane to send the Arhat of Homicide directly up to the Heavenly Palace!
Meanwhile, on the hillside.
Solaris Grove remained expressionless.
Whether The North Sea was alive or dead had nothing to do with him anymore.
A disowned dog does not pine for the master who cast him out.
Suddenly!
Solaris Grove stood up, squinting into the distance.
A group of people!
Were heading towards the underground palace.
The woman leading wore a veil, her face indiscernible.
Behind her, a man in a mask.
The man wore black leather gloves, with only his eyes visible.
Solaris Grove did not recognize these two people.
Nor could he see clearly.
But he recognized their flag!
Bead!
Bead Pulse!
Solaris Grove took an arrow!
Drew his bow!
Swish!
The arrow tore through the air, piercing the flag.
The moment the feather of the arrow flew past.
The entire procession turned sideways, gazing up at Solaris Grove on the hillside.
Without deliberately looking up, one wouldn’t notice anyone on the hillside.
Now.
Solaris Grove was completely exposed under the sunlight.
Almost instantly, several men from behind the woman charged forward.
Hundreds of meters.
Less than ten seconds.
More than a dozen people were already in front of Solaris Grove.
"Who goes there?"
The leading man asked.
"Northern General, Solaris Grove."
Solaris Grove holstered his bow, stating somewhat desolately: "Bead Pulse?"
"Northern General?" The man asked in surprise: "We have traveled from afar as guests. What does this mean from the Northern King? Are we not welcomed? Moreover, your archery skills are somewhat lacking."
A hint of smugness flashed in the man’s eyes.
But before the smile on his face faded, Solaris Grove’s arrow was already at the man’s throat.
"If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn’t even know how you died!"
Solaris Grove’s face was cold as he slowly pushed forward with his right hand.
The sharp tip of the arrow directly cut into the man’s throat, gradually sinking into the flesh.
"General, have mercy!"
A companion of the man spoke up: "We of Bead Pulse have come to The North Sea to present the Divine Dragon Tripod! Such aggression is detrimental to our relations!"
"Hmph!"
Solaris Grove retracted his arrow, coldly saying: "What I despise most are self-righteous people! Answer me, are you from Bead Pulse!"
Too many eyes were around below, he could only use this method to draw the people from Bead Pulse up.
"Yes!"
The lead man touched the blood on his throat, somewhat fearfully said: "We are from Bead Pulse."
"Good, lead me down!"
Solaris Grove returned the arrow to his quiver on his back, striding down the hill.
Since they were from Bead, he had nothing to worry about.
Bead Pulse presenting the Divine Dragon Tripod to The North Sea, the Northern King dare not offend Pendleton.
At least for now, both parties are still allies.
"Bead!"
Approaching the woman, Solaris Grove bowed deeply: "By the command of the Right Minister, Northern Warrior Solaris Grove, I come to join you!"
