Chapter 239: The Black King's Palace's Actions

This time Lin Xiaoxiao was not woken up because she didn't fall asleep at all.

Within a day, the number of people missing in the East Continent reached thousands, and Lin Xiaoxiao and the people from the East Continent sects were busy. Since the missing people were not only civilians, but also disciples from various sects who went out for training, each sect urgently called back the disciples who were out, and then formed a team of elders to go out and investigate.

Lin Xiaoxiao's clones basically kept spreading their mental power to observe the area they were in, and they saved quite a few people, but thousands of people were still missing. The fact that they were able to remain undetected under the surveillance of Lin Xiaoxiao's clones showed that the other party had a guy with mental power of at least half a step to the Void Refining level.

"Kraken..." Lin Xiaoxiao frowned as she sat in Medicine King Valley. She could only think of the giant octopus. "That means it's the Black King Palace that's causing trouble... but why? Does the Kraken need to eat humans to restore its strength? Or..."

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of Qian Wan and the Demon God Cult, and a hint of hostility was revealed in her voice: "They want to transform people into monsters."

The Black King's Palace itself possesses the secret technique of transforming humans into demons and ghosts, and now it has absorbed Qian Wan and the Demon God Cult. Perhaps this transformation can be superimposed... If it can be superimposed, one or two of those transformed monsters may not be a big deal for her, Lin Xiaoxiao, but once the number piles up, she will feel a little troubled, but it will still be fine.

But how many creatures in the Eastern Continent or even the entire underworld can be as fearless of these things as she is?

"A bunch of lunatics..." Lin Xiaoxiao was really angry now. She wished she could punch the people from the Black King's Palace and fly them thirty thousand miles away to vent her anger.

Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao is currently unable to send someone flying 30,000 miles with one punch, she can only send someone flying 3,000 miles.

Lin Xiaoxiao's anger radiated out, and Ye Yuxie beside her patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, let's think of a way to find the Black King's Palace headquarters."

"Tsk...Okay, you're right," Lin Xiaoxiao calmed down, but her expression was still not good. "But the Black King Palace headquarters and Medicine King Valley are similar in nature. How can we find them..."

"It's different. If it's the real Black King Palace headquarters, it's indeed similar to Medicine King Valley, but this is the East Continent, and the spatial anchor point of the Black King Palace headquarters is fixed on the West Continent." Ye Yuxie shook his head, "So the Black King Palace headquarters in the East Continent can only be a poor imitation of the Black King Palace and Medicine King Valley. At most, it can be a secret space that can conceal its aura very well, but it can never be an independent little world."

"So, how do we find it?" Lin Xiaoxiao understood a little, but was still confused.

"If they imitated the independent world to create a secret space, then the atmosphere must be similar. The only independent world they can access is the Black King's Palace headquarters," Ye Yuxie said with a smile, "and you and I have both been to the Black King's Palace headquarters."

Indeed. Lin Xiaoxiao recalled that at that time, the Black King Palace directly moved its headquarters here to deal with her, so she could be considered to have been there.

“And you’ve come into contact with the Kraken before. You’ll definitely find it by following its scent.” Ye Yuxie gave a thumbs up.

"Ah? But their presence should be all over the continent now, right?" Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and said.

Although Ye Yuxie's words made some sense, in order to sense these auras, Lin Xiaoxiao would have to take action personally, and even have to take back all her spirits.

And just like she said, the Kraken is running around everywhere, and its aura is probably left all over the continent. Although it is probably very shallow, Lin Xiaoxiao can only search for it bit by bit.

"What else can you do?" Ye Yuxie shrugged. "You can turn into a big roc, so why not become smaller and fly faster?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's expression froze for a moment, and this moment was accurately captured by Ye Yuxie.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ye Yuxie's eyes became inquiring. Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head away awkwardly, hesitating for a rare time.

"That's... that..." Lin Xiaoxiao played with her hair and didn't look at Ye Yuxie, "I can't control the size of my transformed form freely yet... Hey~"

“Hey, you big-headed ghost!” Ye Yuxie knocked Lin Xiaoxiao’s head hard. “How can you find him if you can’t control yourself? With a body that’s dozens of miles in size, the other party noticed you as soon as you showed up! Why don’t you practice now!”

"Private Marseille..." Lin Xiaoxiao said sincerely, "But there is not enough time."

"Not enough? Ha," Ye Yuxie sneered, "Did you forget something?"

"Like one soul space per day or one year?"

Lin Xiaoxiao trembled all over, with a horrified expression: "No way?"

“That’s right!” Ye Yuxie’s face was grim for a moment, and he dragged Lin Xiaoxiao away. “Be prepared! This is all for the sake of saving people.”

Lin Xiaoxiao came out a day later looking a little absent-minded. She had been practicing transformation all day long, and even the beast pattern had attached itself to her body. Her cultivation had also increased, but she was a little exhausted physically and mentally...

Song Hanyun was participating in the defense at this time. Because Lin Xiaoxiao told all the sects about the possible actions of the Black King's Palace, all the sects were carrying out defense measures, including but not limited to forming formations and mobilizing people.

Song Hanyun was called to draw talismans. There were many talisman masters like him who were drawing talismans like crazy like a printer. The talismans they drew were given to the elders of each sect and distributed directly to various places to protect the villages and cities.

Once the talisman is broken, each sect will sense it immediately, and the associated teleportation talisman will be activated to teleport the elders and sect leaders forward.

All the sects knew that the Kraken had broken the seal, but in order not to cause panic, they kept it from the people.

The sect leaders also thought that the only one who could sneak someone under Lin Xiaoxiao's nose was Kraken, so they took out the treasures in the bottom of the box. After the talismans they distributed were broken, they let the elders and sect leaders take these magic weapons over. Even if they couldn't keep Kraken, they could buy some time for Lin Xiaoxiao to have a chance to arrive.

Lin Xiaoxiao took back all the spirits and only left two or three in the Western Continent to continue working. Now she had to do everything on the Eastern Continent herself.

After discovering the movements of the various sects and Lin Xiaoxiao, the Black King Palace restrained itself a little, but it was still quietly abducting people back to the headquarters for experiments. After all, these three or four thousand people might seem like a lot, but it might not be possible to transform all of them into vampires to deal with a sect, and Fengxue Tower must have external aid.

At least 8,000 people are needed. Although Lu Ruochi and Kraken's kidnapping actions were more low-key, the scope was expanded, and people from the demon tribe were taken away by them.

Over the past few days, as many as five thousand people in the Black King's Palace had been transformed into vampires.

Kraken was reluctant at first. After all, it was a bit embarrassing for him to do such a kidnapping personally. But Lu Ruochi said that this was to stop other people and let him and Lin Xiaoxiao fight one-on-one, so he reluctantly agreed.

Five thousand vampire demons were crowded in the headquarters of the Black King's Palace in the East Continent. Meaningless groans and roars rose and fell. The people of the Demon God Cult regarded them as treasures. The people of the Black King's Palace had some opinions but did not speak to disrupt the harmonious atmosphere between the two sides. Qian Wan was still immersed in the illusion.

"These guys were a little interesting the first time I saw them, but now that I've seen them for a long time and there are more of them, I feel a little disgusted..." Kraken frowned as he looked at the huddled vampires and said, "Can't we take them outside? I'm a little unhappy staying with these guys."

"Your Majesty, if we let them run around, it will be troublesome if Lin Xiaoxiao finds them," Lu Ruochi said with a flattering smile, "Besides, they are going to sacrifice themselves so that you can fight happily later. For the time being, they are your subjects, so just consider it as a way of expressing your magnanimity to your subjects."

"Well... okay." Kraken was silent for a moment before agreeing, although he still looked a little reluctant.

As the king of the Arctic ice field, Kraken has always referred to himself as "myself" and "this king". In order to avoid losing face and causing some unpleasant things, Lu Ruochi has always called Kraken "Your Majesty".

Thinking of this, Lu Ruochi looked at the people in the hall and gave a ferocious smile.

Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Xiaoxiao...are you ready to accept this great gift from me? With these cards in hand, Lu Ruochi finally had a little confidence in killing Lin Xiaoxiao.

At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao was staring at a place in the form of a roc. That was the entrance to the headquarters of the Black King's Palace in the East Continent.

"It seems... I found it?"
