The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

136. What Can I do About it?

His apathetic voice resonated through the restaurant before rushing out of Skyline City, instantly covering a thousand miles.

Whether it be the people hiding within Skyline City or outside, or the forces that were rushing to Skyline City from a thousand miles away, nobody could overlook this voice. The sound was ethereal, but it concealed a terrifying aura.

The shocking intimidation set off world-shaking waves in the hearts of all the cultivators, including those experts that had just received the information and were rushing to the city from a thousand miles away.

Nobody could ever imagine that such a powerful expert would be hiding in the small Skyline City. If his voice could cover a thousand miles while containing this sort of intimidation, the owner of this voice was certainly not an expert of the Exalt God realm. It was probable that he was an expert of the Heaven God realm. The only problem was, which side was he from? Which force was so powerful that they would send an expert of the Heaven God realm?

Although the Nine Heaven Gods of the middle region had outstanding fighting prowess, they wouldn’t get involved so easily due to the promise that they had made with each other.

The duty of the Nine Heaven Gods was to protect the God Demon Tower. Unless it was a matter of life or death that involved their family and there was no other choice, the Nine Heaven Gods couldn’t become involved. In the past, the Crystal Mouse had jumped into the lap of the Great Heaven God of Air on its own accord, so it didn’t count as violating their promise. As a result, they were sure that the expert of the Heaven God realm who was in Skyline City definitely wasn’t one of the Nine Heaven Gods!

However, it was also unlikely that he was sent by one of the Nine Heaven Gods. The middle region was extremely far for Skyline City. Even if they used a Transmission Ritual, they still wouldn’t be able to arrive immediately. According to the information that they had received, the news about the vein of ore in the Emerald Dragon Mountains had only been spread around for about half a month, so it was absolutely impossible.

Moreover, an expert of the Heaven God realm held an extremely important position in a family. If one was lost or hurt, to train another would take more than a few hundred years. No one would be willing to reveal their trump card. Even if it was a high-grade vein of ore, there wouldn’t be a family who would be willing to send their expert of the Heaven God realm.

As a result, once the cultivators, who were overflowing with confidence, heard this voice, their faces grew cold one by one.

The gap between an expert of the Heaven God realm and the Exalt God realm was immeasurably huge. An expert of the Heaven God realm could simultaneously take on four or five experts that were at the peak of the ninth grade of the Exalt God realm and still come out victorious. From this, the power of an expert of the Heaven God realm was evident. However, in the face of this opportunity, there would always be people who were like moths attracted to a fire. If this vein of ore could attract an expert of Heaven God realm, it definitely wasn’t some low or middle grade vein of ore. In addition to when the Emerald Dragon Mountains was formed, if there really was a vein of ore, then it was at least a high-grade vein of ore!

What does a high-grade vein of ore mean for a family? Everyone understood this point, or else why would the Dino Family secretly dispatch two experts of the Exalt God realm to infiltrate Skyline City.

Although an expert of the Heaven God realm was powerful, they weren’t invisible!

With such a huge opportunity in front of them, those forces who were a thousand miles away, only hesitated for a moment and then continued to travel toward Skyline City. If they had known that the real reason was an adult Crystal Mouse, then they probably wouldn’t have hesitated at all and would have immediately flown over. However, what they didn’t know was that those experts that were both inside and on the outskirts of Skyline City, were all running for their lives. No matter how strong an expert of the Heaven God realm was, it was impossible for them to hurt everyone. That person was definitely of the Great Heaven God realm!

Only a few quiet groans were left in the silent restaurant. The heavily injured souls wouldn’t be able to recover quickly.

Upon hearing the man’s threat, many of the people who had fallen to the floor, even the injured, scrambled out of the restaurant. While it was true that the Crystal Mouse was extremely attractive, but if they were dead, what use would it be? No matter how enticing it was, it couldn’t be compared to one’s own life.

As a result, within ten seconds, the bustling restaurant instantly became empty. The only ones who were left were Huan Ye and the others as well as a few commoners who had know idea what had happened since the beginning. Those rogue cultivators as well as the people from the Dino Family all ran away. They didn’t care whether the man’s words were the truth or not. After he had displayed his power, nobody dared have any more ideas of fighting for that Crystal Mouse.

The shock that Luo Nanshu and the three others felt couldn’t be expressed in words.

To possess an adult Crystal Mouse, any normal person would know to hide it. However, not only did they not hide it, they also brought it with them. If this kind of behaviour was not asking for death, then their confidence was through the roof.

Seeing the aura that had exploded from that man, Luo Nanshu and the three others were confident that the power of this man was comparable to that of a Great Heaven God.

The Heaven God realm was also split into the Lesser Heaven Gods and the Great Heaven Gods. These two realms were split distinctly by a line and this line was extremely difficult to cross. As a result, most people couldn’t progress any further than the Lesser Heaven God realm and the Great Heaven God realm was a state that one could only yearn for in their dream. However, very few people knew there was a state that was even more powerful than the Great Heaven God realm. This state was a realm that even the guardian of the God Demon Tower could not touch, so its existence wasn’t well-known.

Although Luo Nanshu and the others weren’t able to see the true strength of the King of the Netherworld with their vision, they could still see that from his last move. Compared to the Nine Great Heaven Gods, he was only stronger.

This information was absolutely frightening, so the three others were still in shock.

Feng Xi looked at the restaurant that became empty in the blink of an eye. He then raised his head while opening his large eyes and said: “Leader, everyone has run away. Can we go dig for the vein of ore now?”

“We’re not in a hurry to excavate the vein of ore. However, we must determine the location of the vein of ore first.” The King of the Netherworld lowered his gaze as a light silhouette remained around him. The aura that had exploded from his body dissipated with the wind in the blink of an eye.

“Then what are we waiting for? Going now is better than going later!” Feng Xi’s mood was completely unaffected by the series of events that had happened before. He was still in high spirits about digging up the vein of ore and not a cloud was seen on his face. It was like the bright sun after a rainstorm.

The King of the Netherworld fixed his eyes upon Feng Xi’s small face for a moment. After he saw the joyful expression on his face, he said: “Then let’s go!” However, before he left, he glanced at Luo Nanshu and the others, and then he left the restaurant with his little tail. (T/N the author describes Feng Xi as a little tail, that follows the King of the Netherworld)

Carendra stood up and said to the three others: “Would you three like to come?”

Although it was a question, Carendra didn’t seem to wait for their answer. After he finished asking, he followed the King of the Netherworld and Feng Xi out of the restaurant.

Luo Nanshu and the others immediately looked at each other. They had understood what Carendra meant and no one refused.

They would be fools if they refused such a great opportunity.

These three were the undisputable heirs to their family, so having no knowledge was impossible. Although they weren’t cunning, they were still able to discern the hidden meaning behind people’s words. It seemed as if they would monopolize the vein of ore in the Emerald Dragon Mountains. However, judging from the appearance of the Emerald Dragon Mountains, they were afraid that this vein of ore was too big, not small. Even with their strengths combined, hogging it all would probably be impossible.

The news of the vein of ore will undoubtedly spread. At that time, the people coming from all directions from different forces certainly wouldn’t be small. If there was no oppressive power to subdue them, then at that time, there would be endless problems. Therefore, if they could collaborate with a few powerful forces, then when the time comes, they just had to spread some rumors. Those people would at least fear their family’s reputation and wouldn’t dare make a move.

The other problem was the difficulty in excavating a vein of ore. It would be impossible to finish mining within a short period of time, so the Emerald Dragon Mountains would need to be guarded day and night to prevent people from sneaking in.

As to why it was them, it was because they were lucky.

After leaving the restaurant, the King of the Netherworld didn’t rush to the Emerald Dragon Mountains. Instead he looked toward the Skyline City gates in the distance. All of a sudden, he reached out his hand and waved it in the open space in front of him. A golden light flashed by and five brightly shining golden armoured soldiers appeared out of nowhere. The golden armoured soldiers were cold and stiff, without a sign of life. It seemed that they were five puppets. Under the King of the Netherworld’s command, the five golden puppets changed into five beams of light and rapidly flew toward the city gates.

Seeing the situation, Luo Nanshu and the others who had walked out of the restaurant instantly understood the King of the Netherworld’s plans.

No matter how frightening, there would still be some people who would lose their reason when enticed by wealth. Rather than letting the endless problems find them, why not just stop them outside the city gates? They had originally planned to do this, but it seemed that it wasn’t necessary anymore.

“Leader, what are those?” Feng Xi turned around to look as he felt that those things that had flown by looked familiar.

“Those are golden puppets, who guard the Heaven Peak Palace.” The King of the Netherworld answered.

“It turns out that they could be brought out. What do you do to control them?” ‘I want to fight them’ was immediately written on his face. He originally thought that the golden guardian puppets could only move around in the Heaven Peak Palace. If he knew that he could bring them out, then he would’ve sneakily hidden a few.

The King of the Netherworld had already seen through him. He reached out his hand, pinched the boy’s nose and smiled: “If Xi cultivates past the God Sovereign realm, then I’ll give you a few.”

“I’m already at the fourth grade of the God Sovereign realm.” Feng Xi waved his fist.

During this time, in order to fulfill his dream of an army of Demon Beasts, he would stay in the Flower Sea for a few days with the King of the Netherworld every night. Not only did he practice his God Perishing Spear Art, he also sparred with the shadows that the King of the Netherworld created using his Nine Rhythm Fists. Having fought everyday, his cultivation level increased two grades and his speed was already quite impressive.

However, the biggest gain for Feng Xi was that he learned how to refine weapons. He had heard that weapon refiners were in high demand, so he pestered the King of the Netherworld to teach him. Obviously, the result was that he had successfully learned it but unfortunately, he didn’t have a good fire root. The fire root was the most important aspect for a weapon refiner. It could determine the level of the refiner and the grade of Profound Instrument that was made.

Since the King of the Netherworld taught Feng Xi how to refine weapons, then naturally he wouldn’t forget about the fire root. In fact, he had long settled on a super mythical beast of the fire attribute. However, he temporarily decided not to tell Feng Xi.

“The fourth grade of the God Sovereign realm is too weak. It’s still too far from the Exalt God realm.” The King of the Netherworld knew that the boy was trying hard, but he was still too weak.

“I’ve already put in so much effort. If he’s still at the Exalt God realm, what can I do about it? It would be great if there was something that could allow me to immediately jump to the Exalt God realm.” Feng Xi raised his little fist to protest. How he wished that his cultivation level would jump straight to the Exalt God realm. However, he always felt that the idea was unrealistic.

The King of the Netherworld suddenly smiled mysterious: “It’s not that there’s no way.

“Leader’s the best! Please tell me.”

Feng Xi quickly pounced on the King of the Netherworld. His small canine teeth glittered under the sun.
