Chapter 241 A Jin - His Highness the God King's Childhood Playmate

His Highness the God King's face was tense, and his solemn expression seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

However, the moment he realized that the person who came was me, his cold and stern face rippled like a stone being thrown into a calm lake.

First, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by deep doubt. He narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully looked me up and down, as if trying to confirm whether the person in front of him was really me.

Finally, His Highness the God King opened his mouth hesitantly, his tone tinged with uncertainty: "General Dongfang? No... could you be Lele? Little Lele?"

Upon hearing His Highness the God-King's question, I could no longer suppress my joy and mischief, and burst out laughing.

Then, I put my hands on my hips and replied with a grin, "Hehe, Your Highness the Divine King is indeed insightful! Just now, because I was worried that the area around the Shen residence was not safe enough, I used magic to transform myself into what I am now. When I heard that you mentioned looking for my master, I rushed here in a hurry and forgot to change my appearance back to normal."

After hearing my explanation, His Highness the God-King shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a hint of doting: "You little rascal have the most ideas. Alright, alright, since that's how it is, then you can leave it at that for now. But this place is indeed fraught with danger, so why hasn't that old man Jiang shown up?"

"Of course, it's more convenient and safer for everyone this way! Think about it, they're all currently in my herb garden space. If I let my master come out alone, wouldn't I be unable to come here?"

His Highness the God-King's gaze softened, as if he wanted to say something more.

However, at that moment, something unexpected happened—a powerful dark aura suddenly surged up from all around, rushing in like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, it formed layers upon layers of black shadows, tightly trapping us within.

Immediately afterwards, a deep and sinister voice slowly came from the depths of the darkness: "God King, God King, we've finally waited for you to come out alone. Today is your death day!"

Upon hearing that voice, I couldn't help but tremble, my heart instantly filled with fear and tension.

Subconsciously, I reached out and tightly grasped a corner of His Highness the God King's robe, as if only in this way could I slightly alleviate the unease in my heart.

However, His Highness the God King remained calm and composed in the face of such a critical situation.

He quickly turned around, gently shielding me behind him, and lowered his head to softly comfort me, saying, "Don't be afraid, girl. With me here, I will never let anyone hurt you."

After saying this, His Highness the God-King raised his head, faced the dark shadow, and shouted, "Since you dare to speak so arrogantly, then stop hiding and show yourself!"

Accompanied by a deafening, chilling burst of maniacal laughter, as if it came from the deepest hell, sending shivers down one's spine.

From the endless darkness, a person dressed in a black robe slowly emerged.

The man was shrouded in a black robe, obscuring his face, but the aura he exuded revealed him to be no good.

The black-robed man suddenly waved his hands, and in an instant, countless streams of ink-black spiritual energy swept towards us like a surging tide.

These black spiritual energies intertwined and swirled in the air, forming an enormous black net that exuded terrifying pressure, descending upon us with overwhelming force.

Faced with such a fierce offensive, His Highness the God King dared not be negligent in the slightest.

He flashed forward and instantly appeared in front of him, a longsword radiating holy light appearing out of thin air in his hand.

His Highness the God-King gripped his longsword, chanting incantations, and exuding an unparalleled and powerful aura.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his arm, and his longsword drew a dazzling sword light to meet the black spiritual power that was sweeping in from all directions.

In an instant, the sword light blazed brightly, colliding fiercely with the black spiritual energy.

With a deafening roar, a dazzling burst of light erupted from the point where the two collided, causing the entire space to tremble.

However, the attacks from both sides did not stop there; instead, they intensified, and a thrilling battle had begun...

Their battle was incredibly fierce, with every move containing earth-shattering power, and the terrifying energy fluctuations distorted the surrounding space.

A battle of this caliber is simply beyond my ability to intervene in. Even getting a little closer would likely result in me being torn to shreds by the aftershocks.

Fortunately, the person who was engaged in a fierce battle with His Highness the God King seemed to have no attention on me at all, and did not take advantage of the chaos to kill me.

As their confrontation intensified, the two figures gradually moved away from my location.

However, at that moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky, and then a Celestial King exuding a powerful aura appeared before me.

His eyes were sharp, and he immediately spotted the thrilling battle not far away before turning his gaze to me.

I saw the Celestial King walking steadily toward me. When he was only a few steps away from me, he stopped and looked me up and down.

After a long, seemingly frozen moment, he slowly opened his mouth and asked hesitantly, "Hmm... you shouldn't be General Dongfang. You know, according to the intelligence I have, General Dongfang has already been entrusted with an important mission by His Highness the God King and dispatched to carry out other crucial tasks. Moreover, given the current situation, he has no way of returning to this place in the short term. Could you be the mysterious Old Man Jiang? But thinking about it carefully, something doesn't seem quite right, because based on Old Man Jiang's usual style, he seems unlikely to do something like what happened today. In that case, you must be Fairy Yue, right? Haha, I guessed right this time! By the way, what exactly is the background of that black-robed man over there? Why was he fighting with His Highness the God King?"

When I heard the Immortal King utter these words, my mind flashed with every word the black-robed man had said before, like lightning striking the night sky.

So I began to concentrate intently on recalling those details, trying to find some clues.

Persistence pays off. After much thought, I finally realized that there was something extremely wrong with it—according to what the man in black robes had said, His Highness the God King should be here alone at this moment.

However, what is incredibly puzzling is that the person I am currently disguised as is clearly General Dongfang!

What secrets and conspiracies are hidden in this?

This seems to have clarified the situation, leaving only one possible scenario.

This mysterious man in black robes not only knew the true location of the Eastern General and the important mission he was undertaking, but more surprisingly, he also knew that the Eastern General had no chance of returning to this place in the short term.

It was precisely because of this deep-seated understanding that when he faced me, he regarded me merely as an insignificant and easily ignored guard.

In his eyes, I might not even be worth a speck of dust, and I am not worthy of his attention or concern whatsoever.

I stared at the Celestial King before me, my face grave, and slowly said, "I also find this matter extremely strange and bizarre, but at this moment, the most urgent matter is to help His Highness the Celestial King escape from this perilous situation!"

The Immortal King nodded slightly in agreement. Just as he was about to take action, the mysterious man in black robes suddenly let out a chilling, shrill laugh.

"Hahahaha... You fools actually thought you could see through my whole plan? It's too late!"

The black-robed man's maniacal laughter echoed across the entire battlefield, sending chills down everyone's spine.

He swiftly formed complex hand seals, and in an instant, dark runes shimmering with eerie light appeared out of thin air on the battlefield.

The dark runes seemed to come alive, rushing towards His Highness the God-King with lightning speed.

Although His Highness the God King reacted quickly, the runes came too fast for him to dodge, and he was struck hard by several of them.

With a muffled groan, His Highness the God King swayed violently, nearly losing his balance.

Seeing this, I felt extremely anxious, as if a raging fire was burning inside me.

Without the slightest hesitation, I charged forward recklessly, completely disregarding my own safety.

Upon seeing this, the Celestial King's expression changed drastically. He knew that the situation was extremely dangerous, so he hurriedly used his magic to instantly create an incomparably solid shield in front of me, protecting me firmly behind it.

Just then, the dragon scales suddenly flashed with a strange light. I guessed that my master probably wanted me to take him out.

I quickly flashed back into the herb field space and brought my master out. After we came out, my master patted my shoulder and said, "Don't panic, my disciple. I'll take care of it."

Suddenly, Old Man Jiang flashed forward, flying straight towards His Highness the God King like lightning.

At the same time, he suddenly threw out a magical artifact that emitted a mysterious light.

The magical artifact spun rapidly in the air, instantly transforming into a dazzling beam of light that hurtled straight toward the black-robed man not far away with overwhelming force.

The man in black robes was completely focused on His Highness the God King and had no idea that such a sudden attack would occur.

When he sensed the approaching danger, he was terrified and frantically tried to deal with the rapidly approaching magical weapon.

However, while he was busy dealing with the magical artifact, how could His Highness the God King miss such a perfect opportunity?

A cold glint flashed in His Highness the God King's eyes, and with a flick of his longsword, a fierce sword aura surged forth, hurtling towards the man in black robes like a sudden storm.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the man in black robes had no choice but to dodge to the side with all his might.

But in the instant he dodged, the black mask on his face was lifted by the sword energy, revealing a familiar face to everyone.

His Highness the God King looked closely and was startled—it turned out that the man in black robes was none other than his childhood playmate, Ah Jin!

Back then, they were inseparable friends who could talk about anything.

But for some reason, one day Ah Jin suddenly disappeared without a trace.

From that moment on, His Highness the God King was extremely anxious and searched everywhere for Ah Jin's whereabouts.

After much effort and in-depth investigation, His Highness the God King finally learned the reason behind it.

It turned out that one day, he unintentionally said something that deeply hurt Ah Jin's heart, causing Ah Jin to harbor resentment towards him.

However, at that time, His Highness the God King held a prestigious position and wielded immense power. Ah Jin knew that he was no match for him with his own abilities, so he had no choice but to leave in silence.

Who would have thought that after so many years, Ah Jin would reappear before His Highness the God King in this way, and even meticulously devise such a scheme to avenge the past?

Unfortunately, despite his meticulous planning, he ultimately fell short and failed to achieve his goal.

At this critical moment, His Highness the God-King seized the opportunity and hurriedly explained, "Ah Jin! You must listen to me. What happened back then was a huge misunderstanding! What I said wasn't directed at you. Actually, I was referring to that fellow He Tian! He was plotting something, trying to force me to distance myself from you, and even threatened to harm you if I didn't comply. You know, you are my most cherished friend! To ensure your safety and prevent you from suffering any harm because of me, I had no choice but to go against my true feelings and say, 'Ah Jin and I are not friends; he is merely my servant.' This way, He Tian would mistakenly believe that you posed no threat to his position. Originally, I planned to find you immediately after he left and tell you the whole story, and then we would discuss a solution together. Who would have thought that you would turn around and leave so decisively after hearing just one sentence..."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed man, whom His Highness the God-King called Akin, abruptly stopped his attack, but still said mercilessly, "Hmph! What's the use of saying all this now? It's all too late. We can never go back to the way things were."

After saying that, Ah Jin snorted coldly and turned his head away, refusing to look at His Highness the God King again.

Seeing this, His Highness the God King looked bitter and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Very well, since you have made up your mind, then let it be. Whatever your final choice, I will respect it."

As this thrilling standoff came to a somewhat regrettable end, the onlookers, who had been watching with bated breath, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
