    Wu Hao opened the letter and saw that it said: “Wu Hao, you have three days to deliver the sacrificial manual to the Valley of Broken Souls. If you fail to do so, or if there is any ambush, we will be waiting to collect your daughter’s body! – Evil Dao Hall”


    The handwriting on the letter was illegible, revealing an air of arrogance and domineering.


    After reading it, Wu Hao’s expression darkened. “How dare the Evil Dao Hall be so arrogant!”


    Seeing this, Liu Kun urged again, “Lord, there’s no time to lose. ept their terms. Within three days, we can secretly mobilize our forces and set an ambush in the Valley of Broken Souls. We will surely rescue the princess and reim the sacrificial manual.”


    Wu Hao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Let me think about this. You should go down and heal your wounds first.”


    Knowing that Wu Hao still had doubts, Liu Kun gave no further advice. He bowed and withdrew. After


    leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a hint of a sneer crossed his lips. “Wu Hao, I’ll see how long you can hold out. Once you lose your patience, you’ll naturally surrender the sacrificial manual.”


    Returning to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Liu Kun immediately summoned his trusted subordinates.


    “Sir, what should we do next?” the counselor asked.


    “Don’t worry,”


    Liu Kun said. “Although Wu Hao is stubborn, he loves the princess most. If we add fuel to the fire, he will surelypromise.


    Immediately send troops to Broken Soul Valley to disguise it as a base of the Evil Path Hall. At the same time, have people closely monitor the movements in the pce. If Wu Hao decides to hand over the sacrificial manual, report to me immediately.”


    “Yes!” The counselor took the order and left.


    Liu Kun sat in his study, sipping a cup of immortal wine.


    He could already see himself obtaining the sacrificial manual, breaking the seal of the Demonic Soul, and gaining control of the entire Sixth Heaven.


    Meanwhile, David and Zi Yuan were galloping towards the Divine Capital.


    They concealed their auras and dared not dy. In less than a day, they reached the Divine Capital’s north gate. At


    that moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from the front. A column of thousands of imperial guards was marching towards the city, led by none other than Wu Hao, the Lord of the Divine Kingdom.


    “It’s the King!” Zi Yuan eximed in surprise.


    David, struck by a thought, immediately led Zi Yuan to meet them. “King!”


    Wu Hao, pondering how to rescue the princess, heard someone calling out. He looked up and saw David and Zi Yuan, overwhelmed with surprise and delight. “Fellow Daoist Chen! Zi Yuan! Why are you back? Where have you been?”


    “King, this is a long story,”


    David said. “Let’s find a ce to discuss it.”


    Wu Hao nodded and led David and Zi Yuan to a nearby post station.


    Entering the post station’s wing, Wu Hao eagerly asked, “Fellow Daoist Chen, what on earth has happened to you these days? Why did you suddenly disappear?”


    David then recounted the details of Liu Kun’s trap at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, intended to seize the Dragon ying Sword and the Golden Dragon Bloodline, and how he and Zi Yuan had broken through the encirclement and entered the Demon Suppression Tower to recover and achieve a breakthrough in their cultivation.


    “What? Liu Kun is so bold!”


    Wu Hao was furious after hearing this, “I always thought he was just power-hungry, but I didn’t expect he had such a wolfish ambition!”


    “Your Majesty, Liu Kun’s ambition goes far beyond this.”


    Zi Yuan added, “We have heard Liu Kun’s confidants talking about wanting the Sacrifice Book, and wanting to unite with the Evil Dao Hall to open the Demon Soul Seal and control the entire Sixth Heaven!”


    “Sacrifice Book? Demon Soul Seal?”


    Wu Hao’s face changed drastically, “No wonder Liu Kun has been persuading me to use the Sacrifice Book to exchange for the princess. It turns out that all this is his conspiracy! The princess was kidnapped, I’m afraid he was the one who nned it!”


    “Your Majesty is wise.”


    David said, “Liu Kun kidnapped the princess just to force you to hand over the Sacrifice Book. Once he gets the Sacrifice Book, the consequences will be disastrous.”
