The Man’s Decree

Chapter 5377

“Summon him in.”

Liu Kun stepped into the inner hall and bowed, his face showing a look of concern for the country and the people: “Your Majesty, I heard that there has been no progress in the theft of the Leiyin Bell, and the people in the Divine Capital have been in panic recently. I am anxious and have come to speak to you, Your Majesty.”

Wu Hao motioned him to stand up and said in a deep voice: “Just say whatever you want to say.”

“Lord, the Demonic Soul is ready to make a move, the Evil Path Palace is eyeing it covetously, and the Divine Temple

is unclear about its attitude. Our Divine Kingdom is in a difficult situation.” Liu Kun sighed and said slowly, “I believe that the most urgent task is to consolidate our relationship with the Divine Temple. As long as we can form a marriage with the Divine Temple and gain its support, the Evil Path Palace will not dare to act rashly, and the matter of the Demonic Soul will be more secure.”

Wu Hao frowned slightly. “I have already planned the marriage, but Fellow Daoist David is investigating the Thunder Sound Bell, so this matter requires further consideration.”

“Lord, there’s no time to lose!”

Liu Kun said hurriedly. “The Thunder Sound Bell has been stolen for days, and there’s no clue what’s going on. If we delay the marriage any further, the Divine Temple will probably think our Divine Kingdom is insincere.

madness flashed in Liu Kun’s eyes. “The Sacrificial Manual contains methods to strengthen and destroy the seal of the Demon Soul. If we obtain it, and then ally with the Evil Dao Hall, we can break the seal and release the Demon Soul.
