The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

123. Appeasement and Blackmail

Translator: Joy

Carendra wasn’t the only one who discovered this situation, and the East Sun Demon also noticed.

A stupefied look flashed across his face, but then he immediately started to laugh. His laughter made it seem as if he was extremely pleased with himself. If he couldn’t kill Carendra then, at least killing the rest of the Sura Family would vent his anger.

Although Carendra had discovered it early, catching up to the blast was a whole other matter. Since it was the strongest attack from an expert at the fifth grade of the God Sovereign realm, he wasn’t sure whether he could even withstand the attack. However, he couldn’t just stand there and watch his sect members die.

“Elder brother!!”

“Carendra Thunder!!”

Two voices simultaneously shouted.

In front of the power of thunder, people looked miniscule while the world was silent at this moment.

However, the moment Carendra Thunder was about to collide with the attack, a slender pale hand stretched out of nowhere and grabbed Carendra Thunder’s clothes. A sweet voice whispered in his ear, “Boy, life is precious. Don’t just give it up so easily. That’s not what a real man does!”

Carendra Thunder suddenly widened his eyes. Before he could get a good look at the woman, he was pushed out of the way.

The gorgeous woman wore a pale pink dress while her slender figure was charming and attractive. Her pink lips were pursed into a smile and she didn’t even blink as she faced the thunder attack. The corners of her lips suddenly curved into a charming smile as she reached out her hand calmly. Her pretty fingers that resembled white jade quietly drew a circle and flicked it outward ……

Just as the people thought the thunder attack would destroy the valley, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. In its place was a stunningly gorgeous woman whose graceful figure was accentuated by her pale pink dress, making her extremely attractive. Her voluptuous figure caused the men on the battlefield to spurt nosebleeds. Obviously, she was stunning!

Besides the Demon Beasts that were fighting, everyone else froze and stared as if in a trance at the gorgeous woman in the sky.

The East Sun Demon had long been stupefied but it wasn’t because of the gorgeous woman, but it was because his strongest attack was completely dispelled by her. Even the head of his family, who was at the ninth grade of the God Sovereign realm, wouldn’t be able to stop this attack that easily. Therefore, this revealed a problem: the strength of the gorgeous woman was much more than his and it was possible that she had already passed the God Sovereign realm and was an expert of the Exalt God realm.

There wasn’t a single expert of the Exalt God Realm that existed in the north territories of the God and Demon Kingdom!

“Who is your excellency? Why did you save the Sura Family?”

The East Sun Demon couldn’t hold his breath anymore. If this woman was just passing by, then the problem was relatively simple to resolve. However, if she came specifically to save the Sura Family, then the Hoare Family’s reputation couldn’t be recovered. With the support of an expert of the Exalt God realm, even the Hoare Family, which was the strongest sect in the northern territories, would still most certainly lose!

The East Sun Demon’s face darkened and he hoped that it was the former.

“Haha!” Huo Linglong covered her smile as she found what the East Sun Demon had said was extremely funny. When the latter couldn’t maintain his stern expression anymore, she slowly replied: “Why do I have to report to this geezer who I want to save?”

The East Sun Demon’s face immediately grew ghastly pale. “Your words, are you trying to pick a fight with the Hoare Family?”

In the past, even without the Hoare Family’s status, no one dared be disrespectable after hearing of the East Sun Demon’s reputation. As a result, he developed an arrogant and domineering personality. He had lived for such a long time, but no one dared to call him a geezer. If not for the mystery that shrouded this gorgeous woman, the East Sun Demon would’ve killed her already and wouldn’t have endured until now!

“Hoare Family?” Huo Linglong pretended to be stunned and then suddenly smiled charmingly. Her rosy lips opened slightly and she said: “What’s that?”

There was an uproar in the crowd below.

They had seen many people who looked down on the Hoare Family, but no one ever dared to ridicule the Hoare Family in front of the East Sun Demon. These words were clearly insulting the prestige of the Hoare Family!

The East Sun Demon was so angry that his face changed from blue to black and his beard swayed as he exhaled in rage. He had learned a lot today!

However, rage would remain as rage because he didn’t dare to attack the woman. From that previous exchange, he could already tell that this woman wasn’t an ordinary person. Perhaps she really was the legendary expert of the Exalt God realm and if that was true, the Hoare Family would have to change their plans. To make an expert of the Exalt God realm their enemy was not a wise choice for the current Hoare Family!

“Geezer, if you don’t want your people to die, then leave! Or else when my two masters arrive, the strongest family on the northern territories will change!” Huo Linglong slowly took a few steps forward as she threatened the angry East Sun Demon.

“Fine! Fine! Fine!” The East Sun Demon laughed angrily, “What a threat! I will relay your words to my sect leader. At that time, you’d better make sure to protect the Sura Family every day. Or else sooner or later, the Sura Family will disappear from this earth!”

If the Hoare Family really didn’t fight back after being threatened by this woman, then after today, they would become the laughing stock of the northern territories. The forces supporting the Hoare Family would start to look down on them. By that time, the Hoare Family’s reputation would’ve plummeted and then their status in the northern territories would really be in danger!

“Huh? Then the God and Demon Kingdom is part of the Hoare Family as well?”

Just as the East Sun Demon and his group were getting ready to leave, a crisp yet puzzled voice suddenly rang through the sky. The doubtful voice sounded as if it was coiled with hundreds of knots. However, in the ears of the other people, his words were clearly accompanied by a trace of ridicule.

It was true that the God and Demon Kingdom was not controlled by the Hoare Family. Even in the northern territories, the Hoare Family wasn’t the most powerful force. In fact, there were quite a few people that could defeat them. No one could guarantee that in this chaotic northern territory there wasn’t an expert that was above the God Sovereign realm such as the gorgeous woman that was in front of them. However, between reputation and power, some cultivators much preferred freedom!

While looking for where the tender voice was coming from, the East Sun Demon opened his eyes in terror as he was overwhelmed by shock. A black whirlpool suddenly twisted the space in front of him and from the center, two thin figures appeared. The sound was from one of these two people.

The man had a tall and upright figure much like that of a god and extraordinarily handsome features. Most surprisingly was the gem on his forehead that shone so brightly that people couldn’t directly look at him. His temperament was as if he had cast aside all worldly desires and lived in isolation from the rest of the world so that life couldn’t contaminate his heart. He stood silently with an indifferent expression and it seemed as if he blended into the space between heaven and earth. Standing beside him, a boy was dressed in red clothes which made him seem more energetic. His long and beautiful black hair was tied behind his head with a red ribbon, making him seem clean yet graceful. However, his black eyes made the boy seem more quick-witted!

However, what shocked the East Sun Demon to the extreme was the sudden arrival of these two people.

Directly crossing the shackles of space. Even an expert of the Exalt God realm wouldn’t be able to do it!

The East Sun Demon finally realized that the Hoare Family had really offended some extremely powerful people. The two masters that the gorgeous woman had mentioned before were likely these two people. Originally, he didn’t believe her and thought that she was just trying to scare him into leaving. However, he didn’t think that it was in fact real and it was the most powerful man in the legends!

The East Sun Demon truly felt that he shouldn’t have gone out today!

The other people had already long been stunned, especially Carendra and his group. Some of them had met the King of the Netherworld before.

Feng Xi’s appearance was within their expectations. However, the arrival of the King of the Netherworld was something they didn’t dare to think of. Who would’ve known that the almighty King of the Netherworld, who could cause the Three Worlds to tremble with one step, would appear in the chaotic northern territories? It obviously was just a conflict between two small forces, but it drew out the King of the Netherworld. If word got out, no one would believe it!

Since the gorgeous woman appeared, Carendra suspected that Feng Xi was behind it. However, he never guessed that Feng Xi even brought the King of the Netherworld. It seemed that this battle didn’t need to be fought anymore!

The northern territories were going to change!

“Geezer, do you still want to fight?” Feng Xi asked with a smile.

East Sun Demon was trembling and the answer was very clear.

Feng Xi took his ‘silence’ as his agreement and continued: “Since you don’t want to fight anymore, let me make this clear for you. The Sura Family is protected by me, if you want to fight them, you will have to beat me first. Do you understand?”

The East Sun Demon mechanically nodded his head as he couldn’t mutter a single word from his trembling lips.

“Well, now that you have decided to compromise, I can answer you. However, you brought so many people to cause problems for the Sura family, it’s unreasonable if you don’t compensate for the damage that you’ve caused. How about this, just pay the Sura Family a hundred thousand purple crystals! It’s not very much.” Feng Xi said matter-a-factly as if he believed that he was already being considerate.

The people below them who heard this couldn’t stop their mouths from twitching.

When the East Sun Demon finally snapped back to reality, he heard the hundred thousand purple crystals that were the compensation fee and his eyes almost rolled to the back of his head. That was a hundred thousand crystals and was equivalent to two years’ worth of income of the Hoare Family. It was faster to steal!

Seeing the boy’s smiling expression, he knew that there was no room for negotiation.

The East Sun Demon only had one choice between the reputation of the Hoare Family and the extermination of their sect. Although after today Hoare Family’s reputation would be ruined, the East Sun Demon didn’t regret it. He only regretted making the Sura Family an enemy. If he had known that the Sura Family was backed by such strong forces, he definitely wouldn’t have brought people to kill them!

“It’s not a lot!” The East Sun Demon said with difficulty.

Suddenly, a brilliant smile lit up Feng Xi’s face!
