In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 366: Hidden Plans and Lingering Dreams

"This servant knows a little," the young Ger replied.

"As long as you can protect yourself, that will be enough," Yue Mingxuan said.

He had assumed that the young Ger’s skills were mediocre, but then Xie Yunlan spoke up, "Yue Juhua’s martial skills are actually quite good."

"So your name is Yue Juhua," Yue Mingxuan said with a smile.

He had not known the young Ger’s name before, though it was not particularly important.

As long as he could serve him loyally, that was enough.

"Yue Juhua will do his best," Yue Juhua said, his small face flushed and looking somewhat shy.

Yue Mingxuan smiled and said, "I have some matters to attend to, so I must leave first. As for the affairs within the palace, you and Xie Yunlan will handle them together."

With that, Yue Mingxuan could no longer wait and immediately entered the hidden passage.

The passage appeared quite ancient.

Yue Mingxuan knew that this place likely dated back many years, so he moved with extra caution.

He carefully examined the nearby walls and trying to determine the purpose of the key he had found earlier.

However, the walls all looked identical.

If he were to knock on each one individually, it would take an unknown amount of time.

He did not grow discouraged and instead continued to observe carefully.

At last, perseverance paid off.

Near the third stone that emitted a faint green glow, he finally saw a hint of hope.

It was a stone with a texture different from the others.

It appeared smoother.

Yue Mingxuan instinctively pushed it, and sure enough, the stone sank inward.

"So there are other branches within this hidden passage," Yue Mingxuan murmured to himself, then followed the path deeper inside.

The interior was not resplendent with gold and jade, nor did it contain any extravagant decorations.

There was only a scroll made of bamboo.

On the bamboo scroll were many lines of text.

The moment Yue Mingxuan saw the writing, he found it very familiar.

The handwriting was remarkably similar to his own.

However, it was far more neat and orderly than his.

He stuck out his tongue slightly, then continued reading.

As he read on, he discovered a shocking secret.

The Nine Abyssal Gate had originally split off from The Black Archon.

Many years ago, the Nine Abyssal Gate and The Black Archon had been the same organization.

However, not long after, the people within the Nine Abyssal Gate grew dissatisfied with their status and sought to gain more for themselves.

The members of The Black Archon naturally refused such demands.

After all, The Black Archon had not reached its current position easily.

While those of the Nine Abyssal Gate desired their own benefits, the people of The Black Archon were far more loyal.

This led to a complete break.

In truth, the Nine Abyssal Gate had not originally been called by that name.

It had once been a division established within The Black Archon.

Only after becoming independent did it take on the name Nine Abyssal Gate.

The previous Imperator Jin had expended great effort in attempting to eliminate the Nine Abyssal Gate.

However, the final result was failure.

The Nine Abyssal Gate continued to exist, while Imperator Jin disappeared.

Imperator Jin had not left behind any descendants.

That meant the person Shang Qinghua was meant to marry had already been missing for twenty years.

Setting other matters aside, in terms of age alone, Imperator Jin was about twenty years older than Shang Qinghua.

For a moment, Yue Mingxuan did not know what to say.

He had imagined Imperator Jin as someone whose in the prime of their youth, yet they’re actually twenty years older than they had expected.

If Shang Qinghua truly had to marry that Imperator Jin, that would mean marrying a someone who is two decades older than himself.

Although Yue Mingxuan did not hold any prejudice, he still found the situation somewhat unbelievable.

Moreover, if Imperator Jin had truly been missing for twenty years, then Shang Qinghua had never even met the people he was meant to marry.

It sounded absurd, yet it was the truth.

Yue Mingxuan continued reading and learned that Keshun Sanfeng was an assassin known as the Purple Lightning Demon.

He was ruthless in his actions and meticulous in his planning. He’s capable of setting traps from which there was no escape.

Yue Mingxuan felt that Keshun Sanfeng was not only ruthless, but also extremely difficult to deal with.

He had never intended to make an enemy of such a person, but now that matters had already developed to this point, he had no other choice

.

All he could do was his best to prevent Keshun Sanfeng from succeeding.

"So it was you, Keshun Sanfeng, who led the Nine Abyssal Gate in rebellion," Yue Mingxuan said as he continued reading, feeling his blood surge within his chest.

Further down, there was supposed to be a record of the current Imperator Jin’s whereabouts.

However, when Yue Mingxuan followed the text, all he saw was a blank space.

That blankness left his mind equally empty.

"Where exactly is the current Imperator Jin?" Yue Mingxuan felt both confused and helpless.

He had finally found a clue, yet it was only a faint trace.

He had hoped to follow the trail, but instead, it had abruptly come to an end.

He placed the bamboo scroll into his storage jade bracelet, then looked around carefully.

He wanted to find something useful, but there was nothing else to be found.

"Where could it be?" Yue Mingxuan sighed as he searched for any remaining fragments of the bamboo scroll.

It was clear that the text had been deliberately erased at this exact point.

There were even visible marks left behind by a blade.

"I suspect this was also done by the people of the Nine Abyssal Gate," Yue Mingxuan said as he tightened his grip on the bamboo scroll and sighed.

Now that the trail had been cut off, he had no choice but to seek out the Hua Family of Dungyue to discuss matters.
