Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

At this moment, inside the White Jade Palace, they were missing one for their meeting.

Of course, this was not a game of mahjong missing one player, but a meeting missing one participant.

Elder Bai, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and the Black Bear Spirit were present, only the Golden-Winged Roc was absent.

Among the four of them, although the Golden-Winged Roc wasn’t the strongest, he was the fastest, and it was rare for him to be late.

Due to the Golden-Winged Roc’s words, the Peacock Great Ming King mistakenly thought that Kong Mengmeng had truly been abducted by Lin Yuan, hence he didn’t intend to kill.

Now, the ongoing fight against the Golden-Winged Roc was simply because his irritating mouth was unpleasant.

These two fighting, the aftermath quickly reached the underwater White Jade Palace of Elder Bai.

Detecting the fight above the sea, they hurriedly used their consciousness to investigate.

”It’s the Golden-Winged Roc and Peacock Great Ming King, why are they fighting?” the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder asked with suspicion written all over his face.

The Black Bear Spirit, in his deep voice, said, ”Fighting our allies on our turf, let’s get him!”

Being reckless and with their numbers, the Black Bear Spirit didn’t fear the Peacock Great Ming King.

Elder Bai, with a dark expression, said, ”Let’s go and see first.”

The three hurriedly left the White Jade Palace towards the place where the Golden-Winged Roc and Peacock Great Ming King were fighting.

By the time they arrived, the Golden-Winged Roc had already been beaten to a pulp, his golden feathers scattered everywhere.

The three quickly stood in front of the Golden-Winged Roc, seemingly ready to fight at any disagreement.

”Peacock Great Ming King, you’re too overbearing in your actions, today you must give us an explanation,” Elder Bai said sternly.

Hearing this, the Peacock Great Ming King was equally annoyed, ”An explanation? I’d like an explanation from you!”

At this moment, Elder Bai and the others were in the dark about why they fought, so they asked the Golden-Winged Roc, ”What exactly is going on?”

Both the Golden-Winged Roc and Peacock Great Ming King had transformed back into human form, meaning they probably wouldn’t fight for now.

The Golden-Winged Roc shrugged, spread his hands, and with an innocent expression said, ”I just prematurely congratulated him on becoming a grandfather and he beat me up without a word!”

”Oh, his daughter might have been taken away by Lin Yuan.”

Since Elder Bai and the others knew about Lin Yuan and Kong Mengmeng, they thought it likely that Lin Yuan could have abducted Kong Mengmeng.

After all, it was a matter of mutual consent between Kong Mengmeng and Lin Yuan, and as her father, the Peacock Great Ming King couldn’t really stop it.

”Hmph!” Peacock Great Ming King snorted coldly, angrily saying, ”Don’t play dumb, I’ve placed arrays and prohibitions, with that kid’s strength, without your help, he definitely couldn’t have taken my daughter.”

Elder Bai: ”???”

Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder: ”?????”

Black Bear Spirit: ”???”

Golden-Winged Roc: ”???”

All four exchanged glances and shook their heads, indicating they hadn’t helped Lin Yuan.

At this point, they indeed had no need to provoke the Peacock Great Ming King.

”Friend Kong Xuan, the four of us can swear an oath, we absolutely didn’t help Lin Yuan abduct your daughter!”

”However, Lin Yuan’s methods are sometimes surprising. Given his knack for not breaking your prohibitions and arrays, it’s possible he took her away,” Elder Bai said slowly.

After hearing Elder Bai’s words, Peacock Great Ming King’s expression eased.

After all, his aim was to find his daughter, not a death struggle with Elder Bai and others.

Seeing his expression soften, Elder Bai advised, ”Friend Kong Xuan, how about this.”

”When we see that kid Lin Yuan, we will definitely persuade him to send your daughter back first.”

”I’ll personally escort your daughter back, how does that sound.”

Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder also advised, ”When this kid comes, we’ll give him a good lesson.”

”Young people in love should marry formally; eloping willy-nilly is not the proper way.”

With Elder Bai and Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder’s harmonious advice, they managed to give the Peacock Great Ming King a way out.

”Alright!”

”You must send my daughter back quickly!” The Peacock Great Ming King agreed, preparing to leave.

Just then, a figure appeared in their sights.

This wasn’t anyone else but Lin Yuan.

All eyes immediately focused on him at once.

Lin Yuan came this time because the dean had successfully transformed over ten tier four Gourmands, and he intended to have Elder Bai and the others help deploy these Gourmands on the World Honored’s turf.

Unexpectedly, he saw Elder Bai and the others, and even Peacock Great Ming King.

Lin Yuan pondered, could it be that Peacock Great Ming King also joined Elder Bai’s alliance?

The key is, having a meeting on the sea in broad daylight, aren’t secrets supposed to be kept?

”Lin Yuan, return my daughter!” the Peacock Great Ming King glared angrily and shouted.

Lin Yuan: ”???”

Lin Yuan was also puzzled, wondering why is this directed at him?

”Didn’t Mengmeng return to the way station with you?” Lin Yuan asked, frowning.

The Peacock Great Ming King was furious, thinking Lin Yuan was playing dumb: ”Lin Yuan, they’ve all admitted it, what are you still denying?”

”Do you really think I won’t dare kill you?”

Lin Yuan gave a questioning look to Elder Bai and the others as if to say, what did you admit? Why is he so mad?

”Lin Yuan, Kong Mengmeng isn’t with you?” Elder Bai realized something was amiss.

Lin Yuan shook his head, answering, ”Since the Life and Death Trial Arena, I haven’t seen Mengmeng.”

”Besides, our world is in such chaos now, why would I want Mengmeng to get involved in all that mess.”

Then Elder Bai told Lin Yuan everything that had just happened.

After hearing the story, Lin Yuan looked at Elder Bai and the others speechlessly, thinking they were truly his great allies!

You guys are tossing all sorts of blame onto me!

Feeling embarrassed for finding himself under Lin Yuan’s gaze, Elder Bai looked to the Peacock Great Ming King and said, ”Friend Kong Xuan, this might really be trouble!”

”This was definitely not our doing, if only for this kid’s sake, we wouldn’t do such a thing.”

”It’s likely someone is scheming behind the scenes!”

Hearing the term ”scheming behind the scenes,” the Peacock Great Ming King’s face grew more sullen.

In the matter of Kong Mengmeng’s abduction, whether it was Elder Bai involved, or the World Honored, neither scenario was the worst.

Regardless of whether it was Elder Bai or the World Honored, their ultimate goal was to use it as leverage.

To use it as leverage, they must ensure the hostage’s safety.

But if there was a third party plotting maliciously, the consequences could be unimaginable.
