Chapter 1879: Trouble arrives
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu left and Huan and Black Shadow went along with them. Hades was left alone there.
Hades waited for them to disappear but he did not return directly to the underworld. Instead, he came to where the Eye of the Dragon was. He stared at it for very long before he slowly stretched forth a hand and touched it.
“Bzz bzz bzz-”
The Eye of the Dragon seemed to have seen its owner as it let out happy noises.
“You are finally awake.” Hades patted it lightly, “She will not know. Even if she knows, she will not get mad…”
“Bzz bzz bzz-”
The Eye of the Dragon rubbed against his hand.
“Actually, I’m thinking that if we told her the truth, she might have helped me go to the Chaos World. However, I have no guarantee of that.” After hesitating, he continued, “Although this method is a little unfair to Wu Lingyu, he has truly obtained your power as well.”
“Bzz bzz bzz-”
“I know, but if I didn’t light you up, the River of Oblivion would have been in trouble. I just knew that she wouldn’t let me down…”
Everything that Hades said by the river side was something that Sima You Yue had never thought about.
Hades had no plans to let others know. This did not influence how much he doted on Sima You Yue, and he had no need to tell them. Especially when he saw how important she was to Wu Lingyu, he was even more afraid to say it.
Sima You Yue did not stop to think about whether or not Hades was plotting against her, but she was a little suspicious why the Eye of the Dragon would split itself into two. It was as if it was prepared to split itself into two from the beginning.
However, after thinking about it, she decided to stop thinking further. No matter what ended up happening or how it happened, the outcome right now was great.
She guessed that she should go to the imperial capital to prepare for the inter-dynasty competition. That was why she did not return to Vast Region but headed straight to the imperial capital.
They found the nearest city and prepared to look for a teleportation array that would send them to the imperial city. However, after arriving there, they received reports that the teleportation array was broken and could not be used in the meantime. They could only head to another city to use their teleportation array.
Sima You Yue and the other three were a little suspicious, but they didn’t say anything. Since it was already rather dark, they asked the stewards of the teleportation array where the nearest inn was and prepared to rest there for the night before leaving.
Once they had left, the stewards chatted with the others. They glanced over in the direction that Sima You Yue had left in and then turned around to walk in the opposite direction.
Shortly after, a shout came from a courtyard, “You’re saying that that person is really Sima You Yue?!”
“Yes, Master, I am very certain. That lady is Sima You Yue.” The one standing opposite that Master said It was the very steward of the teleportation array.
“You didn’t get it wrong?”
“Master, news is spreading all around the Ghost Realm that Sima You Yue has arrived in the Ghost Realm, and that she looks extremely similar to the Dark Princess. Today, when I saw that lady, she really looked very similar to the Dark Princess.” The steward replied.
“What happened back then was disastrous for us. If we really encountered her, we definitely cannot let her go!” The master slapped the chair, infuriated as he recalled what happened back then.
At that time, he received news that the portal to the Human Realm had been re-established. He had wanted to obtain a share of the profits as well, so he put in quite a bit of effort. However, he didn’t think that the men he sent to the Human Realm had been obliterated!
In the beginning, they thought that the Human Realm had obtained news of it early on, which was why everyone from the Ghost Realm died upon reaching there. It was only later on upon investigating that they realised that everything was going well, but Sima You Yue had single handedly ruined everything!
By the time this news reached the Ghost Realm, everyone who had participated in this was infuriated and paid close attention to her. The moment she came to the Ghost Realm, they would definitely make her pay!
In the past, she was in the Human Realm and there was nothing they could do about her. However, right now, she was right in front of them. This was practically sending their opportunity for revenge right to their doorstep!
“Do we know where she is right now?” The Master asked the steward.
“I have already sent men to tail them.” The steward replied, “Master, do we want to…”
“Hmph, since she has already come, how could we miss this great opportunity? Send ten, no, twenty men! I refuse to believe that she can act wantonly here like she did in the Human Realm!”
At this time a few of the elders in the house opened their mouths, “Master, this Sima You Yue is still the granddaughter of the Ghost King. If we do this to her, will we not evoke his ire?”
“The Ghost King does not acknowledge this granddaughter of his at all, right? He is even able to capture and kill his most beloved Dark Princess, much less someone like her who has human blood flowing through her veins!” The master huffed, feeling that this Ghost King would not care for a granddaughter outside his clan.
“Master, be that as it may, the Ghost King is still the king who rules over the Ghost Realm. Although he may not like this granddaughter of his right now, royal blood still flows through her veins. If we send men to kill her and they recall this event one day, what will we do if they come to make us pay?” The elders advised.
“Following your line of reasoning, could it be that we not do this?” The master’s expression was sullen. The last time, they had suffered such devastating losses and many of them had lost their talented geniuses of the younger generation. Knowing that Sima You Yue was here now, if they did not take revenge, they would never be able to rid themselves of the rage in their hearts.
“No, we should definitely take our revenge, but we should not take it here.” The elder said, “Once she leaves our territory, there are many enemies, who would know who was the one who had killed her by then?”
“You’re saying we should… spread this news?”
“After what happened last time, I’m guessing that many of them would be glad to kill her. As long as they know where she is, would she be able to stay peacefully in the Ghost Realm?” The elder revealed a malicious smile, “At that time, we can make use of the situation for personal gain. Even if she dies, nobody will know who killed her. Even if the Ghost King thinks of her and wants to find justice for her, will he be able to kill everyone in the Ghost Realm?”
“Master, Elder Ge is right. If they die in our city, everyone will know that we were the ones who did it. If she dies outside, it will make things a lot easier for us.” The steward agreed with Elder Ge.
The master pondered over it for a long time before nodding, “Let’s do it that way. Send out word that Sima You Yue is here. I’m guessing that many teleportation arrays will be broken.”
As long as word got out, even if they were not the ones who acted, Sima You Yue would not be able to survive!
Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu were in the inn. When they heard this news, they sighed helplessly.
She just knew that what happened back in Fair Eastern City would bring her problems in the Ghost Realm. Seeing how things were now, it was as they thought.
However, how did these people know that she was here in the Ghost Realm?
