Myriad Realms Summoning System

In fact, Mingyue didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, and Xiao Chen had already guessed this.

Let's not talk about anything else. Today at the Dynasty Martial Arts Competition, when Xiao Chen challenged Mingyue, if Mingyue had any bad intentions, he could have killed him right then and there.

However, Mingyue did not do anything to him.

So, when Xiao Chen heard Mingyue suddenly come to him and say that she wanted to confess to him, he just narrowed his eyes slightly, not surprised at all. Tian Yan also looked at Mingyue with interest.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit dead silent for a moment. After a long while, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and asked, "Then let me hear it. What exactly do you want to confess?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue smiled sweetly and said, "What I want to tell you is that I come from a force called the Divine Court in the Qingluo Continent. I've been ordered to be an undercover agent by your side. After entering the Imperial Mausoleum, I'll find an opportunity to kill you. How about that? Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"

Mingyue originally thought that Xiao Chen would be shocked after hearing her words, but she didn't expect that Xiao Chen's expression didn't change at all from beginning to end, which made Mingyue very confused.

She tilted her head and asked, "Hey, Xiao Chen, you don't seem surprised at all!"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Why, should I be surprised? I already knew your identity."

Mingyue slumped down on a chair like a deflated ball, pouting, "I knew it would be easy to figure out my identity, since you have so many powerful martial masters around you. Now that you know my identity, why don't you kill me?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and said jokingly, "At least so far, you haven't shown any killing intent towards me. Otherwise, I would have given you up long ago. But I'm curious why you suddenly said this to me. Didn't you say you were here to assassinate me?"

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Mingyue's extremely cute face suddenly showed an unprecedented seriousness.

She said in a rare deep voice, "If I said I wanted to rebel against the Divine Court, would you believe me?"

Xiao Chen and Tian Yan looked at each other, then squinted at her and asked, "I need a reason, or rather, why should I believe you?"

Mingyue pouted and said, "Reasons? Then I'll tell you something about me and the Divine Court! After listening, you can decide whether to believe me or not."

"I'd love to hear more!"

"The Divine Court is a vast and mysterious organization spread across more than a dozen continents. I come from the branch of the Divine Court located on the Qingluo Continent. The Divine Court is powerful, and each branch on each continent is led by a super-powerful person known as the Divine Lord. I don't know the exact purpose of this organization, but I do know that the Divine Court is extremely dark. The purpose of its people is to use any means to achieve their goals. Take me for example. I grew up in the Divine Court. From the age of seven or eight, I began to fight and compete with my peers. Only those who survive can obtain the Divine Court's cultivation resources and become strong. The weak are even worse than garbage. The Divine Court is such an emotionless and extremely cold-blooded organization."

After hearing Mingyue's words, Xiao Chen suddenly felt that this Divine Court was so much like a terrorist organization! Moreover, the way they trained their disciples was so bloody.

However, the power of the Divine Court can actually spread across more than a dozen continents, which is even more terrifying than he imagined!

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen looked at Mingyue again and asked, "What have you said to me? Does it have anything to do with your betrayal of the Divine Court?"

Mingyue sighed and said, "Actually, during this time with you, I've felt a warmth I've never felt before. I don't want to go back to my old life of dealing with corpses and blood all day. Besides, given the way things are in the Divine Court, if I stay there, sooner or later, I'll die too."

Of course, Xiao Chen would not open his heart to Mingyue just because of what she said, but he also knew that Mingyue's willingness to say these words to him was enough to prove that she really wanted to surrender.

Xiao Chen pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I'll believe you for now! But if I take you in, it means I'm going to be an enemy of the Divine Court. They're a behemoth, I can't afford to offend them!"

Mingyue's lips curled up in a playful smile, and she said, "Stop pretending here. Do you think I don't know about your feud with the Divine Court? Otherwise, why would I come to you? Even if you don't take me in today, the Divine Court will not let you go. On the contrary, with me by your side, when you fight the Divine Court, I may be able to provide you with a lot of useful information, and then your chances of winning will be greater."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll trust you for now. If there's nothing else, you can go back first! Prepare to enter the Imperial Mausoleum tomorrow!"

Mingyue stood up from her chair and said, "Let me make it clear. From today on, I am yours. You must protect me!"

After saying that, she jumped out of the room.

Watching Mingyue's departing figure, Xiao Chen whispered to Tian Yan, "No wonder the six Martial Lords of the Divine Court set up an ambush at the entrance to the Imperial Mausoleum without her knowledge. It turns out the Divine Court is such a terrifying organization, even its own members are fighting each other."

Tian Yan also said, "From the current situation, Mingyue really doesn't know that her companions are planning to ambush at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. Are you sure you want to take her in?"

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Of course. Once the Tianluo Continent and the Qingluo Continent are connected, we will have to face off against the Divine Court. Although Mingyue's status in the Divine Court is not high, as a super genius, it is definitely not low. She should be useful to us when the time comes. Let's take her in for the time being!"

…

The Long family's imperial tomb is located in a huge mountain range behind the imperial palace.

At this time, the four supreme elders of the Long family were standing at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum. Among them were the old woman and old man who had secretly observed Xiao Chen when he entered the palace.

"Brother, has the entrance to the imperial mausoleum been completely opened?" the old woman walked forward and asked.

A majestic old man in gorgeous, golden robes stared at the entrance to the imperial mausoleum and said calmly, "It was fully opened a few days ago. It's our fault for being so negligent over the years that someone secretly tampered with the mausoleum's magic circle. Sigh!"

This old man is Long Ziyang, the highest-ranking elder of the Long family.

The magic circle of the Long family's royal mausoleum was set up by the first generation ancestor of the Long family, the younger brother of Emperor Canglong. It was also supported by the family of the Long family's ancestors for generations, so it can be said to be extremely solid. They never thought that in this day and age, there would be someone who could move this magic circle.

The old woman sighed and said, "Everything has its own destiny. The early opening of the imperial mausoleum this time is probably God's will. However, there are undercurrents in Canglong City right now. I'm afraid something big will happen tomorrow..."

Long Ziyang nodded and said, "How about this? Have all the powerful martial kings in the palace go to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow to be on standby in case of any emergency!"
