Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 505: Chapter 342: Dajing City

When Wang Yi saw Li Jikong again, the Long Rainbow Sword Immortal had reached level 315, his Cultivation having advanced to the Early-stage Tribulation Crossing. With the Void Heaven Divine Sword slung across his back and dressed in a gold Daoist Robe, he was surrounded by several people and seemed quite at ease.

’This guy disappeared without a trace after entering the Great Dream Divine Map, and I haven’t seen him since. He must be hiding some kind of secret...’

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes. Although his level was very high now, he didn’t dare underestimate the Void Heaven Secret Realm, especially the Black Buddha within the Great Dream Divine Map, who was profoundly strange.

Furthermore, there was still a living egg inside the Heaven-Sealing Divine Hall, currently under Suppression at White Bone Mountain, which posed a hidden threat.

As Wang Yi saw it, Li Jikong must know some of the Great Dream Divine Map’s secrets.

After a moment of thought, Wang Yi shouted directly to Li Jikong, ”Long Rainbow Sword Immortal, come and speak with me!”

Li Jikong was on another sightseeing airship, basking in the flattery of a few low-level Players and feeling quite pleased with himself. When he heard Wang Yi’s voice, he instinctively flinched. As he turned toward the sound, his heart skipped a beat.

’Good heavens, it’s Taishang, the Lord of the Strongest Royal Court. His level has actually reached 450, comparable to a Mahayana Stage Cultivator!’

Li Jikong immediately felt uneasy. He had a mission to complete; his master, the Black Buddha from within the Great Dream Divine Map, had ordered him to get close to Wang Yi, enter his territory, and unseal the Mind Relic.

However, after leaving the Great Dream Divine Map, he hadn’t been diligent about his task. When he later saw the Strongest Royal Court continuously climbing the territory leaderboards, he grew wary and became completely unwilling to infiltrate it, procrastinating on the mission for as long as he could.

Now, upon seeing Wang Yi again, the Restriction his master had planted in his mind activated. A sharp voice rang directly in Li Jikong’s mind: ”That’s him. Go, talk to him, and gain his trust. No matter what method you use, you must enter his Royal Court and unseal the Mind Relic. Otherwise, I will erase your Will!”

”Yes, yes, yes!”

Li Jikong hastily replied. Controlled by his ”master,” he dared not disobey. He braced himself, clasped his hands in a salute toward Wang Yi, then stepped onto his sword and flew over. Arriving before Wang Yi, he saluted again and said, ”It has been but a short time since we parted in the Void Heaven Secret Realm, yet your presence is even more magnificent than before, sir!”

”What’s so magnificent about me?” Wang Yi said, waving his hand politely. Then his expression sharpened, and he spoke in a low voice, ”Back then, you led me into the Great Dream Divine Map and then vanished. You didn’t even appear after the Void Heaven Secret Realm closed. I was worried you had been sealed inside. Seeing you again today... I suppose you must have come across some great opportunity, haven’t you?”

”No, no!”

Li Jikong waved his hands frantically. He had a quick mind and said, ”The situation back then was complicated—it’s a long story. I only barely managed to escape the Void Heaven Secret Realm. Please believe me, sir, I would never plot against you!”

”Like hell I believe you,” Wang Yi sneered. ”There’s a Black Buddha in that Great Dream Divine Map. You definitely know him, don’t you? He gave me the Heaven-Sealing Divine Hall for no reason at all. It’s almost certainly part of some scheme. So, tell me about it!”

”Black Buddha? Heaven-Sealing Divine Hall? Sir, what are you talking about? I don’t know anything. I don’t understand at all...”

An expression of confusion mixed with grievance appeared on Li Jikong’s face. It was not at all affected, and he seemed desperate to explain himself.

Seeing this, Wang Yi couldn’t help but wonder if he had misjudged the man. However, his principle was ’better to kill an innocent person than to let a guilty one go free,’ and he had no intention of letting Li Jikong off the hook. He chuckled and said, ”Don’t be nervous. I was just asking.”

”Sir, your ’just asking’ made my heart pound. I’m an upright man, you know.” Li Jikong looked as if he’d just breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject. ”You must have come to Mirror Lake Royal Court for the auction, right, sir? Why don’t we go together? To be honest, I admire you greatly and was just thinking about joining your faction to serve you!”

”Oh, wonderful!” Wang Yi said. ”I’ll give you a chance. First, I’ll send you somewhere nice!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yi raised his hand and threw a punch.

Caught completely off guard, Li Jikong was stunned for a moment, and when he came to, he found the scenery before him had changed dramatically.

Wang Yi’s Breaking Sky Fist had sent him flying directly into the Eco Battlefield.

’What’s happening? He just attacked without any warning? No honor at all! Where did he send me?’

Li Jikong was fuming.

”This is the Strongest Royal Court. That little brat used the Heaven-Opening Law to punch you into his territory!”

His ”master’s” voice echoed in his mind. He was shocked and muttered in a low voice, ”What? This is the Strongest Royal Court? What does he mean by this? Is he going to kill me?”

”Don’t panic! This is perfect. Hurry and find the Mind Relic. I will guide you!”

”Alright... Master, you have to protect me!”

Li Jikong had no other choice but to follow his master’s orders. But just as he was about to mount his Void Heaven Divine Sword and activate an Escape Technique, a large crowd of people suddenly appeared around him.

These people looked strikingly similar to Taishang. Without a word, they unleashed all sorts of abilities. Before Li Jikong could even grasp the situation, a barrage of attacks rained down on him. He couldn’t hold on, and a moment later, he was dazedly thrown into a strange prison cell.

Once inside the cell, his skills were sealed, his Storage Realm was inaccessible, and his Experience Points began to rapidly decrease. He was well and truly trapped.

”This is the Eco-Celestial Prison. Stay here obediently and await your interrogation. Don’t even think about escaping, because there’s no way out.”

Zhao Wenliang, dressed in a red official’s robe, stood outside the cell. With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke in a cold voice.
