Chapter 96 - 96 The Real Conspiracy
96 The Real Conspiracy
Some time had passed since the mock tournament before the Inter-Campus Tournament.
During this time, Su Wan understood that the White Dragon Saint had become Xu Yuan’s little follower.
“The Inter-Campus Tournament will start tomorrow. Can we win this championship?” said Su Wan. She was full of confidence. She had seen the White Dragon Saint’s power with her own eyes, after all.
The White Dragon Saint had joined her camp now. Su Wan had a lot of ideas about the Inter-Campus Tournament.
“The Inter-Campus Tournament?” asked the White Dragon Saint. He looked at Xu Yuan in confusion.
In his opinion, someone as powerful as Xu Yuan definitely wouldn’t be interested in something like an Inter-Campus Tournament.
However, the White Dragon Saint thought about it. The Dark Demon Dragon might not be interested in something like that, but his Overlord was still weak. The Inter-Campus Tournament would be of benefit to her.
“Yes, we are going to participate in the Inter-Campus Tournament,” said Su Wan. “White, you are one of the twelve Holy Envoys of the Dark Screen, aren’t you? You must know a lot about their internal workings. Tell us, what is their goal?”
The White Dragon Saint was one of the Twelve Holy Envoys. He held a very important position in the Dark Screen. He would definitely know a lot about the organization and its ultimate goal.
The White Dragon Saint hesitated. He wasn’t sure if he should reveal such information.
Su Wan noticed his reaction. She had been just trying to trick him, but seeing how he reacted, he definitely knew more than he let on.
Su Wan glanced at Xu Yuan. The only one who could command the White Dragon Saint was Xu Yuan. However, Xu Yuan didn’t seem interested.
Su Wan could only rely on herself. She decided to take the matter into her own hands. “White, if you have any information, you should just tell us now,” she said. “Do you wish to join the Inter-Campus Tournament with us?”
Su Wan saw that her offer was enough to make White Dragon Saint interested. The matter involved the Dark Demon Dragon. If he didn’t reveal the information, there would be a disaster.
When the time came to settle the score, he would definitely be taught a lesson anyway! Hence, the White Dragon Saint told them what he knew.
“My Lord, Dark Demon Dragon,” he said. “There is a problem with the location of the Inter-Campus Tournament.”
The White Dragon Saint was not sure about it. The Dark Screen had Twelve Holy Envoys, after all.
In terms of strength and hierarchy, the White Dragon Saint was ranked twelfth. He wasn’t considered the most important.
The top three envoys were the ones who held the core secrets of the organization. The White Dragon Saint had only vague knowledge about the information. For the White Dragon Saint, they were almost close to legends.
In the ancient past, there was a legendary expert known as the Earth Core Butterfly. It flew out from the sun’s interior and created havoc in the world with the sun’s scorching temperature.
Numerous experts had to join forces to kill it.
…
As far as the White Dragon Saint knew, that legendary beast had fallen into the Overlord Plane.
“So, the final location of the Inter-Campus Tournament is the place where the Earth Core Butterfly died?” asked Su Wan.
The White Dragon Saint nodded. “It’s likely that the final showdown will take place on the back of that legendary beast.”
The organization’s goal was to awaken the legendary beast once again!
The legendary giant beast, the Earth Core Butterfly, had not completely disappeared. The Dark Screen planned to awaken the legendary beast.
“From the information I have, the final battleground for the Inter-Campus Tournament has something that can help the Overlord become a Mythical Overlord. Maybe the Dark Screen is afraid a human Overlord might become a Mythical Overlord, so they are trying their best to stop them.”
Su Wan raised the doubts she had. This was the information she had gotten from the Dark Dragon King’s consciousness.
The secret to achieving the Mythical Overlord level was hidden in a mysterious place. The object was hidden by the Dark Dragon King’s Overlord.
The White Dragon Saint nodded. “That might be so,” he said. “The Dark Screen indeed wants to prevent a human Overlord from obtaining the secret object and becoming a Mythical Overlord. But that is just a smokescreen.”
The Dark Screen was afraid of a human Overlord becoming a Mythical Overlord. They wanted to prevent a human Overlord from becoming a Mythical Overlord. However, that was just a cover-up for what they were actually planning.
There was another problem. After obtaining the secret object, would the human Overlord be qualified to accept it and then become a Mythical Overlord?
Even if all conditions had been met and the Overlord was qualified to become a Mythical Overlord, the Overlord would need time to become stronger and to grow into the new power.
There were various factors affecting the progress.
The mysterious place was controlled by the powerhouses of human Overlords and powerful heroes. It was not easy to enter the area.
The Dark Screen’s true goal was to use this opportunity to hide from the Overlords.
The Overlords assumed that the Dark Screen was afraid of them, and it tried to sabotage the Inter-Campus Tournament. The Dark Screen pretended to sabotage the Inter-Campus Tournament so that the Overlords would be motivated to hold it no matter what.
Eventually, the Overlords fell into the Dark Screen’s trap.
“So, the Dark Screen is just waiting patiently for the Inter-Campus Tournament to start?” asked Su Wan in astonishment.
Su Wan finally realized the sinister intentions of the Dark Screen!
The White Dragon Saint nodded.
Xu Yuan lazily opened his eyes. “Mythical giant beast?” Xu Yuan was now very interested in that mysterious place.
If there really was a legendary giant beast in that place that was severely injured…
‘I will use the Dark Duel Domain…’
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes. His Dark Duel Domain ability would allow him to devour the soul and power of his enemy after defeating them in that duel space.
If what the White Dragon Saint said was true, then the legendary beast was fatally injured. However, the godhood of the beast hadn’t been destroyed completely. There was still a chance for resurrection.
Xu Yuan thought about it. He was suddenly enthusiastic about the Inter-Campus Tournament. Even if Su Wan didn’t want to participate in the tournament, he decided he would trick her into doing it.
