Chapter 52 Taking Advantage of an Opportunity
Suddenly, the space at the stone gate distorted slightly, and a figure appeared out of thin air.
The first thing that catches the eye is his snow-white hair and pure red eyes, followed by his handsome face and upright figure; it is Suk.
"Master." Upon seeing Suk appear, Hail and the other guards immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Suk glanced at the commotion in the crowd not far away, then looked back at the stone gate and said, "Let's go."
He has basically gotten what he wanted, and with the year coming to an end, there's not much point in staying any longer.
Seeing Suk reappear, all the forces became excited. They all wanted to know what Suk, who had passed the test, had obtained in the stone gate. However, with the current "Emperor" Hail present, his imperial aura spread, and no one dared to approach. They could only watch helplessly, not daring to make a move.
Meanwhile, the young prodigies from various factions also had their own thoughts. Suk, the "second Emperor Gulei," was now much more sought-after than Hail, the so-called emperor, not to mention that Suk was younger.
The existence of Suk had already spread throughout Holy Mountain City and the outside world, causing shock to countless people.
This young man, just like the legendary Ancient Emperor Gu Lei, actually gained the true recognition of the Stone Gate.
Without a doubt, this young man possesses unparalleled talent! His future is limitless!
Many people wondered if... an unprecedented era of two emperors coexisting was about to begin?
......
"Two emperors coexist, but not me." The Great Emperor's Palace in Holy Mountain City is dedicated to the Great Emperor. It is magnificent and exquisite in every aspect, with servants everywhere. It occupies one-third of the area of Holy Mountain City. At this moment, Suk and his group are temporarily resting here.
The two newly minted "Emperors," Liumira and Hail, exchanged a smile.
Hail is currently the strongest under Suk, a ninth-tier cosmic-level expert, but this was achieved at the cost of future limitations, so Liumira isn't particularly envious.
If outsiders knew that there were two emperors here, both of whom were servants of Suk, I wonder what they would think.
"Master, this is the list of gifts that the Sea People sent earlier." Liu Mira resumed her role as the butler.
Suk took the items and looked at them. Hmm, there seemed to be a lot of things, some of which were probably valuable items unique to this world. But why... so many beautiful women were offered? Did you send over all the beauties of the Sea People? The key point is, it's one thing to send them to Hail, but why specifically name me? Do I need these? Although each one was a carefully selected, charming Sea People beauty, he had no interest in trying them every day.
Liu Mila said with a smile, "Master, the Sea People have sent many beauties this time. Many of them are daughters of noble families with high status, including some noble ladies from the Sea People's royal family. Many of them are of excellent appearance and talent."
If Suk wanted them, he could probably have any problem with the empresses, concubines, and ministers' wives, but Suk considered himself an upright man and didn't have any particular hobbies.
"Heh." Suk knew perfectly well what those sea people were up to. Not just the sea people, but other races and forces were actually in the same boat.
It's estimated that this palace will soon be filled with beautiful snowmen, winged women, and coral women... It's certainly paradise for ordinary men, but it doesn't mean much to Suk.
Can all of these things combined compare to Empress Liumira? Doesn't Liumira serve her tea and water every day?
Suk had no intention of having much interaction with the natives of this planet, and said directly, "If anyone wants to see me, just refuse them."
A year has passed, and the abyss is once again covered by lightning; anyone who enters will surely die! The next time the lightning dissipates will be 100,000 years later.
They've been in this palace for a while now, and the scouts sent out have searched the planet thoroughly, almost turning it upside down. At least on the surface, they haven't found anything of value. They've also investigated the historical information about the Emperor's statue, but haven't found any new metal either.
Suk also wanted to leave; he didn't want to stay here and be constantly observed by that dark being.
Suk looked out of the palace, from where he could see the radiant statues in the city's central square.
There's one more thing to do before I leave.
"What? The statue of Emperor Gulei is missing?" The city lord's mansion is located not far from the Emperor's Palace and is also the current residence of the Gulei family. The city lord of Gulei, who was contemplating the future in his room, was shocked to receive the report.
The clansman who came to report was also bewildered, and said anxiously, "Yes, Lord, you should go and see, it's already in complete chaos outside."
With a whoosh, the City Lord of Gulei rushed out of the room, flew into the sky, and looked towards the city square. Sure enough... the dazzling statue of the emperor was gone.
Where is the statue of the emperor?
What about my huge statue?
Lord Gu Lei felt his blood rushing to his head, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. He gritted his teeth and sped up to the square. The square was now surrounded by guards and a large group of saints had gathered there, but they all seemed confused and bewildered.
"City Lord."
"Lord City Lord."
Upon seeing the Lord of Gulei City appear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in greeting.
"What exactly happened? Where is the statue of the Great Emperor?" Lord Gulei shouted. He was extremely anxious. The statue of the Great Emperor Gulei held extraordinary significance for both Holy Mountain City and the Gulei family. It had been damaged before in history, but the statue was made of special materials. No one knew what method was used when it was made, but even the Great Emperor could not destroy it after it was completed. It has continued from ancient times to the present day, becoming a testament to the glory of Holy Mountain City.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. One of them, a wiry-looking guard leader with disheveled hair, spoke up: "Lord, I just questioned the guards here. They were on patrol when they suddenly sensed something was wrong. They then discovered that the Emperor's statue in the square was missing, which alerted everyone. Now the whole city knows that the Emperor's statue has disappeared."
The statue of King Gureh stands right in the square; there's no way to hide it.
The city lord of Gulei asked with a dark expression, "So, the Emperor's statue disappeared in an instant?"
"That should be true. Such a large statue, even if someone could move it, couldn't possibly take it away silently, unless..." The guard leader's expression was grave. "The person who took the Emperor's statue had a spatial storage device, and the internal space was particularly large, enough to put the entire statue inside."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
"What kind of storage treasure would you need to take such a huge statue?"
The Lord of Gulei City remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Commander Yannis's words are not without reason. At present, the most likely explanation is that they took the statue using a storage device. But why would they target the Emperor's statue? Does the Emperor's statue hold some secret?"
Everyone was lost in thought. In fact, the statue of the emperor had been here for so many years, and it was left by the legendary Emperor Gulei. It wasn't that no one had ever studied it. Many emperors in history had done the same.
They couldn't damage the statue, and in the end, they found nothing.
Suddenly, the City Lord of Gulei seemed to realize something, and he abruptly looked up at the Imperial Palace, a look of surprise and uncertainty on his face. "Such a major event has occurred here, where is the Emperor? So much time has passed, why hasn't he appeared to investigate?"
Lord Gulei had a bad feeling and immediately said to the surroundings, "We must go see the Emperor. This matter must be reported to the Emperor."
But they were destined to make a wasted trip, because Suk and the others were no longer there.
