The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

162. Confrontation on the Outskirts

Translator: Kickassjo

On the third floor of God Demon Tower, Tower God and other Elders formed a circle.

There was a flat light ball with gold and silver color among them. At this moment, it emitted a dazzling light. This light ball was the Heaven Observing Mirror. Through it, any object in the God and Demon Kingdom could be detected. However, it consumed a huge amount of energy. The more forbidden places it scanned, the more energy it required. Therefore, unless there was a major event, it wouldn’t be easily used.

“Since everyone is here, let’s begin!” An old man in a gray robe spoke in a hoarse voice.

The others seemed to regard him as the leader. When they heard him speak, they nodded.

“Anyone who dares to break the balance of the God and Demon Kingdom, be he a human or a god or a demon, we have the obligation to maintain the balance of the Kingdom. The mysterious Great Heaven God this time has caused a disturbance in the Kingdom to a certain degree, so it’s imperative that everyone should do their best to find him.” The old man in the grey robe said slowly, his voice filled with an ancient aura.

“Yes,” Tower God and the others lowered their heads slightly.

There was a crystal behind them, but this crystal was not one of the common ones on the continent. The dark green light it reflected gave off extremely rich energy. Due to the movements of Tower God and the others, it shot out a strong light. Six rays of light shot directly into the Heaven Observing Mirror, thick fog in the mirror instantly spread out, and the blurry mirror slowly turned clear, revealing a lush forest.

The image of the forest only lasted for two seconds, and then it suddenly came closer from afar. It went all the way through the forest and past the mountains and the clouds, eventually stopping on the outskirts of a city.

On the outskirts of the city, there were two groups of people in fierce confrontation. With a shudder of the mirror, two figures stood in the shade not far away. The tall man looked handsome and elegant with a hint of apathy on his face while the short man had a beautiful and delicate face and a pair of sparkling eyes. Right now he was smiling broadly, revealing his two canine teeth. His eyes were fixed on the two groups of people ahead while he was holding a skewer of roasted meat in his hand.

“It’s them.” the old man in grey said.

Tower God nodded and took out a Black Crystal on which he engraved the looks of the man and teenager.

The scene slowly dissipated until the mirror returned to its original appearance. The light of the six dark green crystals suddenly dimmed a lot. It seemed that they had consumed a lot of energy when using the mirror this time. If they tried to use it again, the six dark green crystals would probably be destroyed.

Tower God put away the crystal and said, “Who does the Grand Elder think should be sent?”

“Leave this matter to the Yinfeng.” the elder in grey said.

The men of sacrifice of God Demon Tower wouldn’t show up easily, so normally, whichever side’s opinion was agreed on, the side would be the one in charge and there was no exception this time.

They didn’t know that as the Heaven Observing Mirror was put away, the King of the Netherworld, who was tens of thousands of miles away, suddenly looked towards the bright blue sky before him. It was the location where the mirror appeared. His eyes seemed so clear, as if he had long discovered the Heaven Observing Mirror.

“Leader, how long do they have to stand? Why haven’t they started fighting?”

Feng Xi stuffed the barbecue into his mouth and chewed hard. His gaze was fixed on the people in front of him but even after he finished eating the food in his hand, the two groups of people still hadn’t started the fight. He couldn’t help feeling a bit dispirited and began to complain.

“Xiao Xi also wants to get involved?” King of the Netherworld looked at him with affection while taking out the handkerchief and wiping off the oil stain on the corner of the boy’s mouth.

“Of course not. I just want to see them fight. Leader, who do you think will win once they fight?” Feng Xi let the King of the Netherworld wipe his mouth for him, which was a habit developed in the past few days. Otherwise, he would have just wiped it off on his body.

It had been almost a month since the two of them left Skyline City, and the Skyline City was relatively safe because of the intervention of the Heaven Fantasy Family and Gunilla Chamber of Commerce. Everyone was vigorously mining the vein of ore. The Sura Family and other ethnic groups had also arrived at Skyline City, including Huo Linglong not long ago. However, when they arrived at Skyline City, the two of them had already left. At present, the entire Skyline City was taken by their people. The other strong people of the families had left and stopped coveting the vein of ore because of the Great Heaven God.

After King of the Netherworld made the arrangements, he took Feng Xi out of Skyline City. In two months, it would be the 100th birthday of the princess of Heaven World. If they went to Heaven World at that time, they would not be able to deal with the matter here. Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, King of the Netherworld decided to settle it first.

Since there were still two months left and Feng Xi didn’t like the feeling of weightlessness and deafness on the Transmission Ritual, so he traveled with King of the Netherworld and went sightseeing along the way. After a month, he finally walked out of the northern region and reached the border of the central Region. Before he would enter the city, he came across these two groups of people.

King of the Netherworld did not expect that the old guy from God Demon Tower would use the Heaven Observing Mirror to locate him.

“If there is no accident, the red team will win,” King of the Netherworld knew the strength of both sides at a glance.

“Then what should we do? I hope the team in blue win.” Feng Xi called out.

“Why?”

“I’m wearing red too. With them all dressed in red, I would get mixed up when I walk over so the blue team should win.”

“Xiao Xi still wants to control the way they are dressed?” King of the Netherworld smiled.

“How could someone as cute as me do something like that? I wouldn’t care less if it had happened somewhere I don’t know. However, now that they are right there in front of me… I think it’s hard to look away.” These contradicting words had been uttered in a righteous way. The appearance of the two people had attracted the attention of the two groups, and Feng Xi spoke in a reckless way, so they could hear clearly.

The atmosphere around the group in red became gloomy instantly.

Although the blue side was somewhat happy, the two of them didn’t guess it wrong. Not only were they small in number, but they were much worse in strength than the other side. If they really fought, they definitely wouldn’t win and might even be killed. So their only hope lay in the young man and man under the tree.

“Excuse me, I am Zhang Yang. If you are willing to help us beat them, the Blue Jade family will definitely reward you.” The leader of the blue team, Zhang Yang, was desperate to seek any help he could get. He only hoped that he could survive this disaster and escort the young lady to the city safely.

“What are you planning to reward us with?” Feng Xi was instantly interested.

“This…” Zhang Yang had never seen anyone ask for rewards before offering any help, but he was only stunned for a moment. When he saw the two of them, he carefully asked, “I think the two of you are here with a purpose. I wonder if you need to use the Transmission Ritual here to go to the central region?”

“Hey, you’re so smart. You got it right.” Feng Xi praised him.

“Coincidentally, the Transmission Ritual of Star City is still under the control of the Blue Jade family. If the two of you are willing to lend a hand, then you can use the Transmission Ritual for free. Of course, this would only be one of the rewards.” Zhang Yang was delighted to see that the other party had admitted without hesitation.

Feng Xi knew that the Transmission Ritual would consume a lot of crystal stones, especially the large Transmission Ritual, such as the Transmission Ritual to the central region. Since the central region couldn’t be reached without the Transmission Ritual, generally speaking, if anyone wished to head to the central region, he had to gather fifteen people and the fees should be divided among them, which would take a longer time.

With King of the Netherworld’s ability, he naturally didn’t need to use Transmission Ritual to reach the central region, but it would then be troublesome and would consume his divine power. Therefore, Feng Xi decided to come to Star City to look for the Transmission Ritual. If it was really as Zhang Yang said and the Blue Jade family was in charge of Transmission Ritual, then everything would be much easier and they didn’t need to gather another 14 people.

“Humph, after tomorrow, the Transmission Ritual will no longer be under the control of the Blue Jade family. If you want to help them, you’d better have second thoughts. There won’t be any good outcome if you offend our Shenma family.” The leader of the red team, Tian Ma, saw that Feng Xi was likely to agree and thus threatened them, unwilling to lag behind.

“What a joke. There’s still no telling who loses and who wins. A force like the Shenma family would one day be punished. If you dare, let us go immediately. If you don’t even dare to fight a fair war, shame on Shenma Family!” Zhang Yang was so angry that he cursed loudly.

Feng Xi hated being threatened more than anything and when it came to threatening, it could only be him who threatened others. So when he heard what the other person had said, his grin became broader.

“Uncle, are you threatening us?”

The blunt words instantly stunned both sides. The boy’s face seemed quite… excited?

Tian Ma’s face suddenly grew grim, “So what if I do threaten you?”

“It’s okay, you’ve done well. I’ve been cultivating for a month. I was just hoping to see if my marksmanship has improved,” Feng Xi was neither angry nor pissed and he remained smiling. He then turned and said to the King of the Netherworld, “Leader, wait for me here. When I finish dealing with them, we’ll go to the city to eat authentic barbecue!”

When King of the Netherworld heard him say that, his heart grew soft and he rubbed the boy’s head, “Go, don’t show mercy!”
