Chapter 754  :

Bet (2)

Outside the palace, there were ten thousand over guards gathered. All their eyes were staring at the stone statues that had come to life and were blocking the entrance to the palace.

“Master Yue, how long more do we have to wait?” The soldier leading the royal guards stepped forward and said to one of the ten elder who had an extremely domineering aura.

“Don’t hurry, she has to come out, eventually. Your Majesty is now safe, but the Eldest Princess is still in her hands.” Master Yue, who was already 50-year-old, stroked his beard and said. His stable voice exuded his composure and calmness.

The leader of the guards was slightly stunned but did not dare to do anything else and stepped aside. Using respectful gazes, he looked at the ten elders in front of them.

These ten elders were the best in their various jobs. They had all made huge contributions and had the most highly respected status. In earlier years, the Emperor had already gathered them all to the capital city and formed a group of 13 strongest elders. The title of an Elder was second only to the Emperor and the nation’s grand tutor and they only had an agreement that they would only listen to the orders of the Emperor.

And the Emperor had promised them the best treatment and conditions for cultivation.

It had to be known that any of them could easily become the strongest anywhere they went, so even terminators, who thought highly of themselves, had to give in to them.

The strong terminator, in the eyes of everyone, had a worthless existence to these 13 people. A terminator could not even be considered their match.

As such, all the strong people had to bow respectfully when they meet the 13 elders.

There were even a never-ending number of people who had wanted to learn under the 13 elders.

At this moment, the news that Ji Fengyan had wrecked havoc in the palace and threatened the Emperor’s life had already alarmed the 13 strong elders. This was also the first time they had all been dispatched.

Master Yue, who was leading the 13 elders, stared at the stone statues with his gaze filled with curiosity and interest in further investigation.

“Master Lin, you are the strongest in summoning skills. Do you know how these statues are moving?” Master Yue turned to look at another elder who was standing beside him.

The elder called Master Lin was the oldest among the 13 people. His specialty was in summoning skills and could use any array formation to summon a strong living thing.

Master Lin’s eyes never left from those stone statues. Hearing Master Yue’s question, he kept his gaze. “Master Yue, these stone statues were not living things that were summoned. If I am not wrong, they are only ordinary stone statues, just that... I am also curious as to how they had suddenly come to life. I am intending to wait for that young girl with Ji surname to come out and ask her.”

“Ask her? If I am not wrong, that young girl with Ji surname should be Ji Ru’s granddaughter and is only a 15-year-old. If she had not obtained the World-Termination-Armour, what would she know at this age?” Another Master said indifferently.

“Ji Ru had wanted to make a breakthrough those years but after so many years, there were still no results. Ji family had never produced a powerful person before. Other than the glory of a terminator, they are not worth mentioning at all.” Master Yue laughed softly and his tone was very nonchalant.
