Chapter 1324: Invitation (3)
Xing Yue snorted, "Do you think all death sovereigns are fools? Do you think you're very smart? You don't understand this tunnel. You know nothing. The tunnel here is very fragile. It's the same with the other tunnels. Each tunnel can only support the traversal of one death sovereign. Thus, Grandstar will only need to face one death sovereign at a time." "We would have broken out of the Death Realm long ago otherwise. Grand Dream's tunnel is the sole exception. It can support the traversal of three to five death sovereigns at a time."
Understanding dawned on Su Yu. So that was why. No wonder there would only be one death sovereign per city. So they were limited by the tunnels.
Su Yu said, "No wonder Lord Xing Yue has been spending all her time in her tunnel. That way, she will have nothing to fear from the other death sovereigns. Lord Xing Yue, why didn't you block the entrance of the tunnel back when Yanmo was here? That would be enough to stop him."
"Laws."
Xing Yue gave a short reply. When did she ever say that she was afraid of the other death sovereigns? She had merely been obeying the laws. Back then, Su Yu had killed someone in the city. That would allow any death sovereign to kill Su Yu within three days. Since she had failed, Yanmo was allowed to try as per the laws.
Suddenly, Su Yu thought of a different question. He asked, "Lord Xing Yue, how exactly do death spirits grow strong? Do you cultivate? Or do you grow through consuming your kind? Or do you only need death qi?"
Xing Yue ignored him.
Su Yu explained, "Don't misunderstand me, Lord. I'm not trying to learn your secrets or something like that. I'm thinking of getting Yanmo killed. If that can increase your strength, perhaps we can find a way for you to devour him. I'm afraid that you'll get yourself killed by the other death sovereigns for being too weak. You can't die on me, Lord. If you were to die and no other death sovereigns wanted to convert me, I wouldn't be able to stay a mayor anymore."
Was he listening to himself? Xing Yue was infuriated. Was he looking down on her?
Grandstar answered generously, "For a death sovereign to grow strong, consuming other death sovereigns is one of the methods. Additionally, the expansion of the death sovereign's territory will help as well."
"Territory?"
