Chapter 271: Panic after a long absence

night.

In Nathan's Palace, nine guards gathered together, looking at the 'king' sitting on the red throne in front of them. It was a young woman, who looked particularly peaceful and serene, with light blue pupils. She was listening to the report of Elijah Jones beside her with great interest.

Even Nathan, who was in isolation, knew about the recent Inhuman incidents that have shocked the world. Elijah dealt with Inhuman forces in various countries by virtue of his identity as Nathan's guard, and his information channels were very well-informed.

"That's all."

Elijah briefly recounted the events.

When he first heard the news, he was also extremely surprised. He never thought that there would be monsters in the world with such long lives and no signs of aging. In the information provided by the whistleblower, it was clearly stated that as the leader of the Trinity Sect, Jiang Mo was at least 150 years old.

What surprised him even more was that the old ghost reappeared soon after, on the alien forum of the dark web, and sincerely invited aliens from all over the world, and even various forces, to go to North Kolai Island to snatch the secret scripture.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

The king asked the guards for their opinions. This rare feast was only 300 nautical miles away from Nason Island, and she was indeed tempted.

"King, it's too dangerous there."

"There's no need for us to get involved in such disputes."

Garcia, who holds the title of 'precious metal', and Gunnar, the 'Valkyrie', are worried that if the king goes there in person, his life will be in danger.

Unlike in Nasen where they can travel freely, once they land on the island, they will have to face countless Inhumans like moths to a flame, as well as various fully armed Behemoth agents.

"It would be a shame if you don't go and see it. This is a rare spectacle that only happens once in hundreds of years."

Wang expressed his thoughts:

"We have stayed on the island for too long, so long that we lack a certain understanding of the outside world. This time, aliens from all over the world are rushing here, with modern weapons and heavy equipment. I can't find any reason to refuse to witness this bloody fight so close to us."

"."

Wang Li went against the majority's opinion and decided to go to North Kolai Island.

The angel Alfonso and the sword master Mochizuki Satoru successively asked to follow and protect the king.

Joaquina, an older woman wearing glasses, sighed slightly:

"King, you cannot travel without permission. If any accident happens, it will be a disaster that our people cannot bear. Please let us go on your behalf."

"."

Before the king could reply, Anthony, a descendant of God, and Elijah, a cowboy, expressed their willingness to travel for her to avoid the risk.

Then, Elena also joined in the persuasion. She had long gray-purple hair, a very beautiful face, a tall figure, and was good at spiritual comfort. Her fighting ability was not outstanding compared to other Nasen guards.

The only person who remained silent was the divine warrior Bestia. He was built like a bear, with a face full of flesh, and was ugly with a ferocious look.

After a long discussion, the result came out.

Mochizuki Satoru, Joaquina, Elijah, and Bestia will take a special witchcraft potion, share the vision with the king, and go to North Cole Island to carry out the mission. While ensuring their own safety, they will do their best to seize the opportunity and seek the strange scripture containing eight completely different powers.

The impromptu meeting ended, the guards left, and two hurried figures walked straight into the palace, accompanied by the anxious voices of women trying to dissuade them.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"."

The barefoot old man with waist-length white hair remained silent, his face extremely solemn. He was so frightened that he rushed into the palace as soon as possible.

Not long ago, he learned from his student Li Guang what was happening outside. After more than 70 years, he saw the man who had frightened him all his life again on the screen of his mobile phone. Even though he was in the isolated forest kingdom, he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

"Grandfather?"

"Mother.?"

The king was about to get up when he saw two people rushing over and was stunned for a moment.

"Pack your things, stop being a lousy king, and follow me."

Li Muxuan tried to pull his granddaughter away, but was warned by Nathan Wei Wang Yuewu with a knife, who said coldly:

"Please show some respect to our king."

"roll!"

Li Muxuan shouted loudly. He was so angry that he didn't even look at it and directly used the Reverse Eight Directions Technique.

Mochizuki Satoru felt something approaching and was about to swing his knife to fight back, but an invisible hand pierced his heart in an instant, and he was thrown to the side, coughing up blood in embarrassment.

“Satoru?!”

"Father!!"

Li Chan didn't expect the old man to have such a hot temper and not even show any mercy.

"Grandfather! What are you doing?"

Wang couldn't understand the old man's misconduct.

"It's not safe here anymore. Come with me and leave Nathan. If you want to be king, come back after at least a year or two."

Li Muxuan urged anxiously, seeming a little impatient. He couldn't understand why the other party chose North Kolai Island as a hunting ground, but when he fled here when he was young, he had a good relationship with a Nasen guard. He learned that Jiang Mo not only came here, but also slaughtered the king and guards at that time. He thought of this incident from time to time for the rest of his life, and he still regarded it as a shadow. Even after many years, when he had reversed the eight directions and cultivated to the perfect state, Li Muxuan did not think that he had any possibility of competing.

What’s worse is that almost every islander knows his name.

When he was young, he beat the king of the previous generation, saying he was disobedient and a heretic from outside; when he was old, he became the grandfather of this generation of kings.

This is the evil boy with all evil intentions—Li Muxuan!

Even if there is a one in a thousand or even a one in ten thousand chance that Jiang Mo will pass by Nathan, it will be a disaster for him, his daughter, and his granddaughter. Li Muxuan cannot afford to take the risk and does not have any luck at all.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

The news that the palace was attacked and Mochizuki Satoru was injured was transmitted to every guard by the sacred tree. Whirlpools appeared in the void in front of the throne one after another. The guards came and went, each with cold and fierce eyes. The atmosphere on the scene became tense at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Grandfather, you want me to leave, why?"

The king was puzzled and felt a strong sense of resistance.

Li Muxuan glanced at the numerous Nathan Guards and asked with a smile, "Why, you little pups who haven't even grown all their teeth yet, want to eavesdrop on other people's family affairs?"

"Li Muxuan, watch your words!"

Joaquina was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, and the other guards were all ready to take action.

Wang stopped them and said, "Take Wu away first. It's okay. I'll talk to him."

"Humph."

The guards did not go against her wishes and disappeared one after another in the vortex of space displacement.

There were only three people left in the silent palace. Li Muxuan did not hide the truth and told them about the past grudges:
"I made a big mistake in my hometown and fled by boat, and ended up wandering to Nathan. The person who was chasing me was the madman who wanted to challenge the world's mutants recently."

"In 1942, he traveled thousands of miles to get here because of a batch of looted supplies. At that time, Wang and Wei were almost killed by him. There was no way to stop him."

"The result this time will be the same. No matter who comes, they won't have any chance of winning."

Li Muxuan felt so desperate that even his breathing was heavy.

In the seventy years since he left his homeland, he has practiced hard and turned the world around, reaching a realm that no one in his school could reach before. His strength has broken through bottlenecks several times, and he has become a supreme grandmaster. Even so, he has no thought of resisting.

The so-called Nine Guards of the King have varying strengths. As long as he is willing, it won't take much time to kill them all, let alone if Jiang Mo is present in person. There is an insurmountable gap in strength between the two sides.

"Little guy, now is not the time for you to be willful. As your elder, I don't want you to pay with your life because of my sins. Let's go."

Li Muxuan, who had calmed down a little, stepped forward and asked for his granddaughter's opinion. He was just panicked and confused by the approaching threat, but he was not arrogant or violent by nature.

Li Chan, who knew the truth, was in a daze for a long time. When she was young, she saw her father drinking to relieve his sorrow many times. Whenever he talked about a senior from the mainland, he always burst into tears and regretted the choices he made back then.

"King, my father is right. For your safety, please leave with us for a while."

The woman begged desperately, she felt a slight palpitation in her heart, which was a sign of impending disaster.

"."

"Do not."

Under the expectation of her mother and grandmother, the girl in white clothes and with a calm expression gently refused.

"I am the king, I cannot abandon the trees and my people. Grandfather, please take my mother away."

Looking at the child who was as stubborn as he was when he was young, Li Muxuan's forehead was bulging with veins. He couldn't tell whether he was angry or ridiculous. As if he knew the answer, he still threatened and questioned:
"Have you made up your mind?"

"If you don't leave, I'll kill your guard and dig up that disgustingly dirty tree!"

"When I entered the Holy Forest, it bewitched me more than once. If it weren't for our old friend, it wouldn't have stayed until today."

Li Muxuan has a tough attitude and he has the ability to do so.

To him, the trees were not important, the kingdom was not important, and the islanders were even less important.

From the stormy night when he stepped onto the beach, he felt that this island was a cage where he could atone for his sins and survive. For the rest of his life, he did not have the courage to return to the mainland and break into the Trinity Gate again. He did not even dare to die there and settle the grudge.

Facing her grandfather's murderous threats, Wang stepped forward, took her mother's hand, and then took the old man's hand, and hugged them. She leaned her head against Li Muxuan's broad chest, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said in a gentle tone:

"Grandfather, I won't leave."

"Take care of you and your mother. I will miss you no matter how far apart we are."

She was sure that the old man didn't have the leisure to do so and would not do so. Once Shu and Wei died, there would be no meaning for her to continue living. However, she believed that the old man could understand these self-evident words, even without saying them out loud.

The irritable Li Muxuan slowly closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate. He didn't say much, but just patted the girl's back gently.

"Ugh"

A tired sigh sounded. He lost the game again this time. As always, he could not beat this little girl whose personality was very similar to his own.

The palace was quiet and the three of them hugged each other, talking about their instructions before parting.
