Chapter 1325 The truth that is not the truth
Long Dapao came to the underworld to find the Sword of Pluto in order to survive the great catastrophe that has plagued the spiritual world for ten thousand years.
But now, the Sword of Pluto has fallen into the hands of the third prince. Lu Yun does not know the reason.
He just wanted to find Luo Li and the others and didn't want to get involved in this mess at all.
However, the third prince clearly showed an attitude of winning people's hearts.
The third prince walked straight up to Lu Yun and stood in front of him.
"I admire you very much. From the moment you saved my life, I decided that you would be my commander-in-chief." The third prince smiled and said, "And the facts have proved that you are fully capable of doing all this."
"Uh... Third Prince, you know that I just want to..."
"For the sake of a woman, I understand." The Third Prince took Lu Yun's hand and said, "As long as you promise me to be my commander, I will return your woman to you, how about that?"
It looks like a negotiation, but it is actually a threat.
This is an exchange, a transaction, not a favor.
Right now, Lu Yun has two paths to choose from.
1. Agree to the Third Prince's request, become the commander-in-chief of the three armies, get Luo Li and others, then lead the troops to attack Hades City, kill Hades, and send the Third Prince to the throne of Hades;
2. Reject the third prince.
However, the cost of refusal would definitely be very high. Regardless of whether the Third Prince would kill him or not, he would never be able to see Luo Li and the others.
There were no bodies either.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yun believed that he had only one choice, which was to compromise.
He suddenly realized that since some time ago, his life had been controlled by an invisible thread.
It's like a puppet, with no control over my own decisions.
It seems glorious, and he beats all kinds of masters, but in the end, what did he get?
"Thank you for your kindness, Third Prince. I, Lu Yun, am willing to serve you!"
Bow.
salute.
This was the most insincere thing Lu Yun had ever said.
"Hahahaha! Good, good, good!" The third prince laughed: "I swear on my heart that I will never let my brothers down, otherwise I will die and never enter the cycle of reincarnation!"
After saying this, the Third Prince stared into Lu Yun's eyes with a smile on his face.
The meaning was obvious. He was waiting for Lu Yun to swear with a Taoist heart.
"Brother Lu, hurry up!"
Hei Hu on the side kept giving Lu Yun glances.
Lu Yun hesitated again and again, and finally compromised.
"I, Lu Yun, swear on my heart that I will never let down the Third Prince's kindness, otherwise I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
His oath was not that serious, but it didn't matter. Even if he swore a poisonous oath, the Third Prince would kill him without hesitation if the war failed.
This is the way of the emperor.
"Hahahaha!"
The third prince was overjoyed and personally took a tray from the boy beside him.
The cloth on top was lifted to reveal a shining suit of armor.
"My great marshal, this is your handsome uniform!"
Lu Yun had no choice but to reach out and take it.
"This prince will give you another good thing!"
The third prince stretched out his hand, and suddenly a small porcelain bottle the size of a thumb appeared in his palm.
Suddenly, Lu Yun's mind was lifted.
Somewhere in the dark, he sensed a trace of the breath of origin.
"This is……"
"That's right, this contains a drop of blood from an ancient god or demon. It seems that my Grand Marshal has already sensed it, hahahaha!"
After hearing this, Lu Yun's body perked up.
This blood essence of ancient gods and demons may be useless to other people, or even poisonous, worse than the poison of Gu.
But for Lu Yun, it is a huge benefit.
He himself is a body of god and devil. With this drop of essence and blood, his cultivation will be greatly improved.
"Thank you for the gift, Third Prince!"
Lu Yun saluted again.
After settling Lu Yun, the Third Prince rewarded other people.
After what happened to Lu Yun, no one else dared to disobey the Third Prince and could only agree to it.
Hei Hu was named the Great General and became the most powerful general under Lu Yun.
His joy was beyond words and the smile on his face never stopped.
Sheng Xue came over to congratulate Lu Yun with the help of Xiao Lu.
"My benefactor, it's rare that my brother treats you so well, please don't let my brother down."
Lu Yun nodded slightly with an ugly smile on his face.
He thought to himself: You are the one who made me feel cold, how dare you talk to me?
"Elder Canglan, can you tell us what the current situation in the underworld is like?" the third prince asked in a loud voice.
Elder Canglan clasped his fists towards him, and then said to everyone: "The undercurrent in the underworld has been surging for a long time. Now all forces are moving together, heading straight for the Underworld City and the Hades' army."
Afterwards, Elder Canglan began to read the manifesto.
What it means is simply that Hades is cruel, he kills his brother and humiliates his sister-in-law, disregards justice, exploits the creatures of the underworld, does not care about the lives of the people, is greedy for pleasure, and causes the people of the underworld to live in misery.
The entire manifesto was so passionate that everyone who heard it was filled with righteous indignation. They wished they could eat the man's bones and flesh to relieve their hatred.
Even Lu Yun was furious with Hades after hearing this.
"This damn Hades, isn't it good for him to be a leisurely Hades? Why does he have to cause so much trouble? Now, people want to kill you for revenge and get rid of the harm to the people. I just want to ask you, are you afraid?" Lu Yun said secretly.
After finishing everything, the Third Prince returned to the top of the mountain accompanied by Sheng Xue and Fairy Fei Yun.
Qin Bao suddenly changed his attitude and bowed respectfully to everyone present.
"I apologize for offending you before. Please forgive me." Qin Bao said with a smile, "Your accommodation has already been arranged. Please call me anytime if you need anything."
Elder Canglan came up to Lu Yun with a smile.
"Boy, we meet again, congratulations!"
"Elder Canglan." Lu Yun saluted.
No matter what, he should thank Elder Canglan for providing him with clues about the dragon cannon, and he also saved his life with his royal energy.
Now the two of them are considered acquaintances, which makes others envious.
In the entire underworld, there are probably very few people who can be actively greeted by Elder Canglan, one of the four guardian gods.
Therefore, everyone became more and more confused about Lu Yun and looked at him with envy and jealousy.
"Elder, may I have a word with you?"
The two of them came to the side.
Lu Yun looked around and then asked in a low voice: "Elder Canglan, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter."
"Tell me about it." Elder Canglan sat on the ground.
Lu Yun also sat down hurriedly.
"Elder, is what the Third Prince said really true? Is the underworld already so terrible?"
"Yes, the Hades is indeed not the original Hades. The real Hades is the biological father of the Third Prince."
"In that case, the first and second princes..."
"He and the Third Prince are half brothers."
After getting the confirmation, Lu Yun was shocked.
Why are the three brothers so different from each other when they are born to the same father?
Elder Canglan smiled and said, "I know you are very confused and you must think that these are all fake. But in fact, the whole underworld has long been hostile to Hades, but the time has not come yet."
"Then what about Yuwen Nian? Why did he stop the Third Prince from taking over the throne of Hades?"
"That's because Yuwen Nian wants to protect the Third Prince."
