Indestructible God King

Inside the Divine Dragon Island’s prison complex.

All the demons were looking at Wang Ke; they were in awe of Wang Ke’s dauntless, sacrificial spirit.

Tong An'an was also looking at Wang Ke with his face twitching. He was trying his hardest to find something to say.

“That can’t be true. Did Wang Ke really jump into the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool? Why did nothing happen to him?” Northern Gambling God refused to accept the situation.

“Yeah, the venomous snakes in the pool are deadly. Besides, anyone who enters the pool would have their cultivation suppressed by the spell array, and would surely be injured! Why is Wang Ke okay?” Tong An'an looked toward Wang Ke with a frown.

“Hmm?” Zhu Hongyi also doubted Wang Ke’s involvement.

“Isn’t the Sacred Child okay too?” Wang Ke replied, frowning.

“The Sacred Child? He has a special physique that gives him immunity to all poisons!” Zhu Hongyi answered.

“The Sacred Child is immune to all poisons?” Wang Ke was surprised by the answer.

“Yes. What about you?” Zhu Hongyi asked in suspicion.

“I…!” Wang Ke could only frown.

How am I going to explain this?If I say that I have a special physique too… it would be bad if they decide to check my body!

“Wang Ke, you came well-prepared. You jumped into the Ten-thousand Serpent Pool with a special artifact to protect you from the snakes’ venom?” asked the Northern Gambling God.

Just when Wang Ke was about to reply, he instinctively came to a realization.

This Northern Gambling God is really sly. Trying to frame me, huh?If I say “yes,” you would say that I jumped into the pool with an already premeditated plan?And so, rescuing the Sacred Child was also preplanned?Wouldn’t that make me the one who planned to kill the Sacred Child?

Damn it!Northern Gambling God is really up to no good.

Northern Gambling God, Tong An'an, and the others looked forward to Wang Ke’s answer.

Still, no matter how he answered, they would twist things around to paint him as a suspect of the Sacred Child’s murder attempt. And then, they would have the upper hand to deal with him.

But Wang Ke had quite the rich experience in life; he wasn't fazed by such a paltry trick!

“Sacred Child, someone thinks that I shouldn't have saved you! They think that the person who saved you when you were being bitten by all those snakes is actually the one who tried harming you in the first place! Sacred Child, what do you think I should reply?” said Wang Ke with a pained look.

Tong An'an and Northern Gambling God immediately peeled their eyes. I have yet to frame you, and you are framing us already?Haven’t you heard of “first come, first serve?”

“Wang Ke, how dare you slander us!” Tong An'an berated.

“Uhh? I’m talking about Northern Gambling God. Wasn’t he the one who interrogated me just now? Why are you.......?” Wang Ke looked at Tong An'an, displaying his astonishment.

Tong An'an was aghast. I spoke someone else’s line!

“Wahhh~~~ Wahhh~~~! Parlor Lord Zhu! They... they are all bad people! They want me dead! I’m going to tell the Demon Sovereign! I’m going to tell the Demon Sovereign! Wang Ke saved me, but they won’t accept it! They are the ones trying to harm me. I’m going to tell the Demon Sovereign!” the Sacred Child screamed in tears.

“Okay, okay. Sacred Child, don’t cry. Rest assured, I will find out the truth. I will not spare the ones who tried to kill you!” Zhu Hongyi immediately tried to comfort him.

The Sacred Child pointed at Northern Gambling God and declared. “He’s the one! He wished Wang Ke didn’t rescue me. It must be him!”

And Northern Gambling God knelt down in an instant. Everyone understood that Wang Ke was trying to frame me! Why can’t you see it, Sacred Child?Sacred Child, you really are but a child. He lied to you and you believed him, just like that?

“No! I would never! I wouldn’t stop Wang Ke from rescuing the Sacred Child! Parlor Lord, please help us find the truth!” Northern Gambling God begged Zhu Hongyi for mercy.

Zhu Hongyi frowned a little. He could sense that Wang Ke threw out a red herring to distract them from something important, then returned a blow to Northern Gambling God… But it wasn’t appropriate to reprimand the Sacred Child at the moment, especially when the boy was raging.

“Someone! Arrest Northern Gambling God. I will judge him personally!” Tong An'an ordered.

“Chapter Lord!” Northern Gambling God cried out.

Was Tong An'an trying to wash his hands from the whole thing?

He had to do it! He had to do all he could to prevent the problem from growing further, at the risk of being traced back to him! He had to find a scapegoat as quickly as possible.

He had spoken out of turn just then, so he had to draw a clear line between himself and Northern Gambling God.

I will arrest Northern Gambling God first to comfort the Sacred Child. Then I will personally interrogate the suspect to find out the “truth.” I just have to find someone to take the fall and let him “commit suicide” later, so I can be back in the clear.

Northern Gambling God knew what Tong An'an was about to do, so he didn’t retaliate, other than call out to the Chapter Lord.

Zhu Hongyi looked toward Northern Gambling God and asked, “You don’t need to investigate this personally. You, where were you before dawn?”

“I? I was…!” Northern Gambling God’s face froze.

“Speak!” Zhu Hongyi glared at him.

“I was at the Chapter Lord’s residence. I wasn’t in the prison complex. It has nothing to do with me!” Northern Gambling God answered anxiously.

Tong An'an also stared at him. Damn you, why do you have to mention me?Who’s going to save you if I’m dragged down into this sh*t by you?

Tong An'an explained immediately, “Parlor Lord, please find out the truth. Northern Gambling God came to my place before dawn to relay a report!”

“Oh? What could be so pressing that it needs to be reported in the middle of the night?” Zhu Hongyi asked, looking ever serious.

Something seems off!Why would anyone report petty matters at midnight?Instead of waiting for daytime? Zhu Hongyi didn’t suspect Northern Gambling God at first, but the question unveiled a rising suspicion.

Tong An'an really wanted to kick Northern Gambling God to death. You worthless thing. Why did you have to drag me in?

Now I will also be screwed if I don’t give the Parlor Lord a reasonable explanation!

“Northern Gambling God said that a full moon was coming. Brother Wang had yet to go through his demonization baptism and had no demonic Qi, so he could have a hard time in this couple of days. He asked if I could find a living person to consume blood from and commit his first evil! And I... I agreed!” Tong An'an explained.

He could only use the excuses he had prepared beforehand. Or else, he would risk exposure if Wang Ke spoke again!

“Oh?” Zhu Hongyi looked toward Wang Ke.

“This did happen,” Wang Ke nodded with a doubtful face, “But they found me a righteous prisoner and asked me to suck his blood essence until he died!”

“A righteous sect prisoner? How dare you!” Zhu Hongyi stared at him.

“What?” Wang Ke was shocked.

Zhu Hongyi looked back at Tong An'an, “The Demon Sovereign commanded that no one can suck all of the prisoners’ blood! We are only allowed to draw part of it, as we’ve farmed them for blood thus far. He left you all in charge, supervised by the Sacred Child! Humph. How dare you act as if obeying on the surface but going against his orders in secret! Are you not afraid of the Demon Sovereign?”

“No, no. I didn’t disobey the Demon Sovereign. That righteous prisoner is on a hunger strike. He wants to die! That’s the reason why I sought approval for Brother Wang to drink his blood. I haven’t faked my obedience. He is really trying to kill himself by not eating!” Northern Gambling God was in a flutter.
