Chapter 595 - Cause as Much Chaos as Possible (1/2)
Qiu Ling cut the connection with Fu Min and Fu Heng without warning and took out another transmission stone. Before he imbued his spiritual energy, he stopped though. Ah, he was still in the demon realm. He couldn't contact the old geezer or that bastard Jin Ling might notice. He couldn't let that happen!
Mn … Qiu Ling narrowed his eyes. He had to do this in a roundabout way. Otherwise, he would lose the only bargaining chip he had.
He kept the transmission stone and looked at An Bai. ”I have to return to the Nine Heavens for a while. You, keep watch here!” With that, he turned and rushed out of Jin Ling's palace.
An Bai looked at the spot where his king had stood and sighed. ”I'll certainly keep watch, my king. It's not like I could do anything else.” With another sigh, he returned to the wall of the cell and sat down, looking out at the corridor outside. Ah, maybe he would be lucky and Xiang Yu would return on his own? Then he could ask him what had happened to His Highness and maybe … maybe the fallen god would even answer. He could only hope so.

He frowned at Qiu Ling with dissatisfaction and waved. ”I know, I know. You didn't manage to free him. I expected nothing else. No need to make such a fuss.”
”No, it's even worse!” Qiu Ling stormed further in, finally seeing his uncle-in-law standing to the side too. He blinked but didn't greet him. There was no time now! First, he had to cause as much chaos as he could to divert Jin Ling's attention!
He turned back to the Heavenly Emperor and put on the most grievous expression he could muster. ”There's a fallen god in the demon king's palace!”
”What?!” The Heavenly Emperor leaped up from his throne. ”A fallen god?!”
Qiu Ling nodded eagerly. ”Yes! It could even be he kidnapped Jing He from the demon king! At least I couldn't find him, even though I saw the demon king …”
