    “Summon him in.”


    Liu Kun stepped into the inner hall and bowed, his face showing a look of concern for the country and the people: “Your Majesty, I heard that there has been no progress in the theft of the Leiyin Bell, and the people in the Divine Capital have been in panic recently. I am anxious and havee to speak to you, Your Majesty.”


    Wu Hao motioned him to stand up and said in a deep voice: “Just say whatever you want to say.”


    “Lord, the Demonic Soul is ready to make a move, the Evil Path Pce is eyeing it covetously, and the Divine Temple


    is unclear about its attitude. Our Divine Kingdom is in a difficult situation.” Liu Kun sighed and said slowly, “I believe that the most urgent task is to consolidate our rtionship with the Divine Temple. As long as we can form a marriage with the Divine Temple and gain its support, the Evil Path Pce will not dare to act rashly, and the matter of the Demonic Soul will be more secure.”


    Wu Hao frowned slightly. “I have already nned the marriage, but Fellow Daoist David is investigating the Thunder Sound Bell, so this matter requires further consideration.”


    “Lord, there’s no time to lose!”


    Liu Kun said hurriedly. “The Thunder Sound Bell has been stolen for days, and there’s no clue what’s going on. If we dy the marriage any further, the Divine Temple will probably think our Divine Kingdom is insincere.


    The Third Pce Master holds considerable status in the Divine Temple. A marriage with him would not only allow us to leverage his power to investigate the Evil Path Pce, but would also enhance our Divine Kingdom’s standing among the gods—kill two birds with one stone!”


    He paused, then added, “I’ve heard that members of the Evil Path Pce have been active near the Divine Capitaltely, seemingly spying on the demon soul seal beneath our Divine Kingdom.


    Without the Divine Temple’s support, if the Evil Path Pce joins forces with other forces to attack, our Divine Kingdom would be unable to resist.”


    Wu Hao fell silent. Liu Kun’s words, though somewhat exaggerated, were not without reason.


    The Divine Kingdom, currently gued by internal and external troubles, truly needed external support.


    Furthermore, he had originally nned to have the princess marry the Third Pce Master’s son, using this opportunity to investigate his collusion with the Evil Path Pce. Liu Kun’s proposal seemed to align perfectly with his n.


    “You have a point.”


    Wu Hao nodded slowly. “Then the marriage will be fully entrusted to you. Three dayster, you will personally escort the princess to the Third Pce toplete the wedding.”


    Liu Kun was delighted, but his face remained respectful: “I obey your order! I will not let the king down!”


    After leaving the pce, Liu Kun immediately returned to the Prime Minister’s residence and summoned his trusted subordinates. “


    Sir, has the king agreed to the marriage?” the counselor asked.


    “Hmph, Wu Hao has taken the bait.”


    Liu Kun sneered. “This marriage? It’s just a dying tactic. In three days, I will not only kidnap the princess, but also use this opportunity to force Wu Hao to hand over the Sacrificial Manual!”


    Everyone was shocked. “Sir, you want the Sacrificial Manual? Are you really going to…”


    “Indeed!”


    A hint of madness shed in Liu Kun’s eyes. “The Sacrificial Manual contains methods to strengthen and destroy the seal of the Demon Soul. If we obtain it, and then ally with the Evil Dao Hall, we can break the seal and release the Demon Soul. Then the entire Sixth Heaven will be plunged into chaos.


    I will then use the power of the Demon Soul to eliminate Wu Hao and those old men in Leiyin Temple, and the entire Sixth Heaven will be mine!”


    Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces were filled with shock, but more than that, greed – if Liu Kun truly could control the Sixth Heaven, they, as his trusted confidants, would surely rise to great heights.


    “Your Excellency is wise!” everyone echoed in unison.


    “Alright, everyone, go down and prepare,”


    Liu Kun said, waving his hand. “In three days, I will personally lead the escort team for the princess. You will secretly arrange for your men to kidnap the princess immediately after leaving the Divine Capital.


    Remember, this must be done in secret; no one can detect it.”


    “Yes!” everyone replied!


    Elsewhere, David gathered a gentle spiritual energy from his fingertips and gently tapped Zi Yuan’s brow. “Hold on, I’ll take you to a safe ce.”


    Before he finished speaking, David waved his hand, and the Demon Suppression Tower appeared.


    Without further hesitation, David helped Zi Yuan through the tower’s gate. The next second, the two found themselves in apletely different world.
