The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

149. Here Come the Enemies

Translator: Ning LL

More and more people gathered in the valley, but they couldn’t move a bit because of the line of defense formed by the ten gold puppets.

Those gold puppets sent by the King were all experts of the Exalt God realm. That truly was a strong squad. After all, a family with three or four experts of the Exalt God realm could already be considered as a second-class force.

Everyone was clear of that. Therefore, when they saw the ten gold puppets, most of them turned their faces stiff.

The people there had already learned that Huan Ye, Young Master of the Heaven Fantasy Family, Luo Nanshu, Young Master of the Gunilla Chamber of Commerce and Zong Wuqing, grandson of the Grand Massacre Heaven God had already gone into the cave to explore the lode. These three people all had very strong background. As a result, all the people there were pretty sure that the gold puppets, though might not be sent directly by the three people, must have something to do with them.

Those people had lost sleep over the message not only because of the lode of highest grade in the Emerald Dragons Mountain, but also those mature Crystal Mice. The people of all those powerful families had used the Transmission Ritual hastily in order to rush over in time, and their deep-sunken orbits showed a lot of things. They had thought that they could at least get a piece of the action, but the reality was rather cruel to them.

First, there were three families which they couldn’t afford to offend. What’s more, they couldn’t get in.

The ten gold puppets completely blocked the entrance of the tunnel in the valley. Though they seemed very calm, the people there could still feel a destructive power from them.

Being intimidated by the strong power, those people had to consider of their own strength before trying to break in.

Moreover, everyone there was smart and none of them wanted to make the first movement. This time, the message had come so sudden, so those families hadn’t made a thorough plan and the experts they had sent were in the low level of the Small God Heaven realm. After all, an expert in the Grand God Heaven realm wouldn’t be frightened by the ten gold puppets in the nine grade of the Exalt God realm at all.

However, the situation couldn’t be changed now. They could only stand there and do nothing unless they had a solution to deal with the ten gold puppets.

As they were still racking their brains, there were a group of people walking out of the cave all of a sudden.

Four gorgeous men came out in succession. They looked either handsome, or pretty, or masculine or elegant, being uniquely different. After that, they stood in a line and looked at the people who surrounded outside the tunnel with meaningful looks on their faces.

Seeing those familiar faces, many people put on glum looks. Giving offence to the Three Big Families would do no good to them. Even if they truly got the treasures, they might not be able to take them away. Still, someone was reluctant to accept that fact. Now that a lode of the highest grade was right in front them and they couldn’t get a share, it was understandable for them to get anxious and angry.

“May I know your intention?”

Luo Nanshu stood out first. He was the most famous one and had the most powerful background among the four men. Because he always challenged others and always won, most of the people there on the spot had met him before.

Seeing him stepping forward, nearly all the people changed the look on their faces. As they thought of the Gunilla Chamber of Commerce and Grand Wind and Cloud Heaven God that behind him, they felt their firry mood being dampened. Many people boggled as they saw Luo Nanshu’s masculine and intimidating face.

“Long time no see, Young Master Luo, I hope that you are in great condition.”

Someone had to say something at this moment. The person who spoke was an elder from the Po family in the Middle Area, called Po Ying. It was actually impossible for the people for middle area to arrive at the Emerald Dragons Mountain. However, Po Ying who was on a mission had happened to pass this place. Therefore, the leader of the Po family had sent him here.

Po family was a large family in the middle area. However, it could never compare to Gunilla Chamber of Commerce in power and background. As a man from the middle area, Po Ying knew better than anyone else on the spot how influential Luo Nanshu was. Therefore, Po Ying didn’t dare to offend Luo Nanshu openly and talked politely.

“It’s you. Elder Po Ying. It’s true that we haven’t met for a long time. As for my own condition, it depends on what you will do.” Luo Nanshu knew who Po Ying was. Hearing the latter’s polite words, he then returned the courtesy. However, as a straightforward man, he never liked to beat around the bush, so he cut to chase straightly at once.

“I heard that there was a lode of highest grade in Emerald Dragons Mountain, so I came here to have a check.” Po Ying remained calm and chose to tell part of the story he had heard and didn’t mention about the Crystal Mouse at all.

“Then what’s the result of your exploration?” Luo Nanshu said that a beaming smile remaining on his face.

Po Ying couldn’t figure out what was on Luo Nanshu’s mind. However, he also couldn’t resist the temptation of the huge benefits. After he hesitated for a short while, he decided to be honest, “We think the message is true. I’ll put it bluntly then. Young Master Luo, I think you know that Emerald Dragon Mountains didn’t belong to anyone. If you want to take all the treasures away, the rest of us wouldn’t agree with that. I believe that you are a clever person.”

His words sounded like a threat. However, to everyone’s surprise, Luo Nanshu chuckled instead of getting angry.

Everyone looked at each other at a loss, not knowing what Luo Nanshu was up to. After a long while, he said with a smile,

“Of course I knew that Emerald Dragon Mountains didn’t belong to anyone. However, perhaps you guys don’t know one thing, a few hours ago, I mean three or four hours ago, this mountain already had an owner. Even I don’t dare to provoke this owner.” Luo Nanshu glanced at everyone’s face with his sharp eyes, finding those people not convinced by his words at all, but that was not surprising to him.

“I never tell lies. I suggest you believing me. I know that you have got that message from the Dino family. Before this, the people of that family had taken a beating in the Skyline City and offended someone they shouldn’t have. As a result, they were kicked out of the Skyline City. We know the Dino family’s patterns, that family would definitely revenge after suffering losses. Therefore, the Dino family has spread those messages. I’m afraid that one of those messages is about Crystal Mouse. However, just think about if by yourself, even the people of the Dino family have got blown out of the water, do you think you can fight against that owner?!”

After saying that, Luo Nanshu put on a face which suggested that he didn’t care if they believed his words or not.

“Young Master Luo, don’t be an alarmist. Even if you want to keep the lode all to yourselves, you shouldn’t say those words to threaten us.”

“That’s right. That’s a humiliation to your name.”

“Young Master Luo, you should at least find a better excuse.”

…

Not only Po Ying, no one there trusted Luo Nanshu’s words. They all considered that speech as a story that Luo Nanshu had made up in order to take away all the treasures with the men behind him. In those people’s view, Gunilla Chamber of Commerce was the most powerful force in God and Demon Kingdom. Nevertheless, Luo Nanshu had just said that even Gunilla Chamber of Commerce didn’t dare to offend the owner of Emerald Dragons Mountain. Therefore, to the people there, Luo Nanshu’s words were completely nonsense!

They couldn’t believe the Young Master of Gunilla Chamber of Commerce had used such a perfunctory excuse.

As a result, the people who were in awe of Luo Nanshu showed how angry they were at once and even felt that he was a shameless guy.

“That’s my advice for you. Trust it or not, it’s none of my business.” Luo Nanshu knew that they wouldn’t believe him and he hadn’t expected that they would trust his words so easily. Everyone went just as he had expected.

“I can guarantee that Brother Luo is telling the truth.”

Zong Wuqing walked out from Luo Nanshu’s behind with a gentle and nice smile on his face. His elegance and grace had been beautifully realized. By standing there quietly, he had already attracted everyone’s eyes. That soft smile stayed on his handsome face the whole time, looking beaming but now too bright.

Though he wasn’t as famous as Luo Nanshu, his great moral quality was there to be seen. Nearly everyone in God of Demon’s Kingdom knew that the hot-tempered Grand Massacre Heaven God had a gentle and couth grandson, and that was Zong Wuqing whose reputation was even better than Grand Massacre Heaven God. Therefore, hardly anyone questioned his words.

Now that he had gone along with Luo Nanshu’s words, the others all dithered.

“I’ll guarantee for him too. Also, the ten gold puppets were sent by that expert.” Huan Ye walked out smilingly.

Though Huan Ye wasn’t as famous as Zong Wuqing and Luo Nanshu, he was the Young Master of the Heaven Fantasy Family after all, so a lot of people knew about him.

Now the three men had all confirmed that saying. If their families joined hands together, they would easily tear the God and Demon’s Kingdom upside down without lifting a finger. However, now these three men were willing to stay humble and give compliments to another guy. Back then, no one would believe such an absurd thing because no one would demean his own family and praise another person.

As a result, everyone’s resolution began to stagger. However, right at this moment, a voice came through from the crowd.

“After so many things you have said, you only want us to quit. However, none of us has seen the person you have talked about. Only a three-year-old kid would trust you and treat your words seriously because of your reputation. Unfortunately, we are not children. Even a saint would be tempted by a lode of highest grade, let alone that we are all normal people. What’s more, I’d like to ask who the man behind you three is. Is he the man you have been talking about?”
