The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

166. Here They Came

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Soon, they arrived at the territory of the Blue Jade Family. Led by Zhang Yang, the two of them walked to the meeting hall of the Blue Jade Family.

Most important people from the Blue Jade Family converged in the meeting hall. The two most important people were the current master and the former master of the Blue Jade Family, aka, the father and grandfather of the girl that Feng Xi and his boss saved. They two were both shocked to hear about what happened at the intersection and then stared at Feng Xi in disbelief.

“I’m Lan Zhentian of the Blue Jade Family. Thank you for saving my daughter. Hereby I express my gratitude to you two on behalf of the Blue Jade Family.” The former master, Lan Zhentian came to his senses first, took a step forward and then bowed to them with cupped hands before his chest.

“You are welcome.”

Not depressed anymore, Feng Xi immediately waved his hand. Originally, he also wanted to say “Don’t mention it”, but if he really did and the Blue Jade Family took his words for real, he would gain nothing. Therefore, he didn’t say it, hoping to have something in return.

“May I know how I should address you two?” Lan Zhentian smiled and said.

“My name is Feng Xi, and this is my boss, Feng Ming!” Feng Xi was complacent to mention King of the Netherworld’s name .

“Oh, Childe Feng and Mr. Feng. Childe Feng, you’ve reached such a cultivation level at such a young age. You’ve impressed me.” Lan Zhentian saw that the young man was very young and his tone was somewhat childish. At the thought of their killing Third Master and the guard of Shenma Family in the street, he didn’t suspect their identities or mention the matter of the murder.

Feng Xi smiled happily. “I’m flattered. Actually, my Boss is much more powerful than me.”

“Oh?” Lan Zhentian’s gaze suddenly shifted to King of the Netherworld. Seeing that he didn’t speak, he guessed that this person must have no interest in talking to strangers, so he did not ask any questions proactively to the relatively elder man. Instead, he only spoke to the young man, “Both of you are outstanding. Zhang Yang told me that you two want to go to the central region via the transmission ritual of Xingyuan City. You may leave it to me and just rest assured.”

“When can it be done?” King of the Netherworld asked indifferently.

Lan Zhentian was stunned for a moment, then he quickly responded. “Today is the last day for the Blue Jade Family to manage the Transmission Ritual. However, because it is the last day, the Transmission Ritual is prohibited from opening to the public. It can’t be used until tomorrow when the new receiver of the Transmission Ritual is selected and the handover is completed. Therefore, it will be doned the day after tomorrow.”

“Then we will leave the place the day after tomorrow.” As expected, King of the Netherworld glanced at the young girl standing behind Lan Zhentian.

“I will make the arrangement as soon as possible.”

Lan Zhentian had just finished speaking when a loud noise came from outside. Then, someone ran inside in a flurry and shouted, “Patriarch, We are in trouble. The members of the Shenma Family have barged in. They are asking us to hand over the two men, or they will break in regardless.”

“What? How dare they! The Shenma Family are more and more opinionated. Do they think our Blue Jade Family are push-overs? They dare to barge in directly! Go! Let’s meet them.”

Lan Zhentian immediately flew into a rage with his face turning red with anger. Even though he knew why they came, he did not expect that they would dare to break into the territory of the Blue Jade Family. The members of the Shenma Family increasingly didn’t take the Blue Jade Family seriously, so he led his men to the entrance.

Feng Xi thought it was fun, so he dragged King of the Netherworld over there too.

“Boss, the so-called Shenma Family are here to find us, right?” Feng Xi raised his head and asked.

“Xi killed their people. Of course they are here for us.” Seeing that the young man had a glint of obvious interest in his face, King of the Netherworld touched his head. As he did that too many times, he had almost developed the habit of touching the young man’s head every time, but he didn’t feel any problem with that. Instead, he enjoyed the feeling of the young man’s soft hair slipping across his fingertips.

“Should we deal with them ourselves?” Feng Xi held King of the Netherworld’s arm, with two brightening eyes.

King of the Netherworld pinched his nose and said intimately, “Xi, how do you want to solve this?”

Feng Xi glanced around and found that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation. Then he whispered into King of the Netherworld’s ear, “Let’s sneak to Shenma Family at night and then… They should have a lot of treasures and we can steal them, which will definitely piss them off.”

King of the Netherworld smiled. Feng Xi still didn’t forget his profession.

Lan Zhentian and his men quickly arrived at the entrance. From afar, they saw the members of the Shenma Family laid a siege around the gate. None of the people inside could get out. Apparently, these people came with preparations. The one leading the group was the master of the Shenma Family, Gu Hai, a shrewd middle-aged man with a sullen face. One of his family was dead and another one was injured, so after learning that the two incidences were conducted by one man, who was said to be with the people of the Blue Jade Family, he brought his men over at once.

“Gu Hai, don’t go too far. Don’t think that the Blue Jade Family are afraid of you.” Lan Zhentian was quite furious.

Anyone who saw his gate blocked by his opponents would surely get mad. Maybe he would just launch an attack on impulse. No one would choose to reason. Lan Zhentian directly released the pressure of Lesser Heaven God and a few people of the other side just couldn’t stand firmly.

Gu Hai sneered and a strong pressure was released from him. The subordinates behind him suddenly felt some weight taken off their bodies.

“Lan Zhentian, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. I only need you to hand over the two people who hurt my younger brother and son. Otherwise, I will tear the two persons apart even at the cost of my life.”

“Gu Hai, I’m quite surprised that you should come here before I go to your family to seek revenge. I haven’t gone to your family to seek revenge. How dare you hail yourself as a straightforward person? In the outskirts of Xingyuan City, why did you ambush my granddaughter? If you didn’t do that, what happened today would never happen. You should be held fully responsible.”

“What a joke! When did I send anyone to ambush your granddaughter? Do you have any evidence?” Gu Hai refused to admit it. Today, he was determined to let Lan Zhentian hand over the two men.

“You…” Lan Zhentian knew that Gu Hai was thick-skinned, but he did not expect this man to be so shameless—just refusing to admit what he had done. A giggle came from behind them.

“I have evidences.”

Everyone looked behind and saw that the teenager was holding a crystal in his hand, which was a Black Crystal used to record things and transmit information.

Feng Xi gave the crystal to Lan Zhentian. “This records the scene about their ambush.” At the time, because he was bored and he had never tried the Black Crystal before, he tried it and simply recorded the scene of the two sides confronting each other. To his surprise, the recording could be of help today.

“Patriarch, it’s him. The person who killed Third Master and injured the young master is him, and the man behind him.” A guard leaned over and whispered to Gu Hai.

Putting on an extremely gloomy face, Gu Hai stared at the young man fiercely and said, “Good. It turns out that you are one who killed my younger brother and injured my son seriously. How dare you! If I let you escape today, I will reverse my name then!”

Feng Xi suddenly smiled and said, “No way. Gu Hai sounds awful. Hai Gu sounds like Haigui (lit. turtle)!”

“You’re dead meat.”

Gu Hai’s serious expression was instantly enraged. With a flick of his sleeves, he struck an beam of arrow-like light at Feng Xi at a lightening speed.

“Be careful!” Lan Moyu, the current master of the Blue Jade Family, who was watching clearly aside, saw that Gu Hai was attacking a young man sneakingly and then immediately shouted anxiously.

Lan Zhentian, who was the closest to Feng Xi, had yet to make his move. Feng Xi had already been dragged over by King of the Netherworld. He flipped his right hand and easily parried the attack of Gu Hai.

However, the matter was not over. Gu Hai obviously did not intend to let Feng Xi go so easily. A dark-blood sword appeared in his hand and then he just slashed at King of the Netherworld without hesitation with a fierce wince. The attack was as strong as the power of the two stars of Lesser Heaven God. Gu Hai himself was at the level of the three stars of Lesser Heaven God. His second move had been exerted with 90% of his power. Obviously, he really wanted to kill Feng Xi and King of the Netherworld.

Everyone of the Blue Jade Family felt the overwhelming power and they were all astounded. Lan Lingyu, the granddaughter of Lan Zhentian was shocked even with a pale face, and their expressions changed. Lan Zhentian’s granddaughter, Lan Lingyu, turned pale.

“What an ant!” King of the Netherworld’s cold gaze seemed to pierce through Gu Hai. For outsiders, this blow was very powerful, but in his eyes, Gu Hai was merely too weak to withstand a single blow from him. With a snort, the power seemed to bump into a thin light curtain and the light screen gave off bright radiance at a visible speed. And then the power on the light screen just rebounded completely.

No one would have thought that their strength would rebound?

Neither did Gu Hai expect that his power would rebound and go at him. He clearly knew how strong the attack was. Moreover, he was hit totally off guard, so he was sent flying away from the gate of the Blue Jade Family and fell in the street. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The man struck a serious blow at Gu Hai who was at the level of three stars of Lesser Heaven God. If one hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe at all. For the moment, everyone was shocked, especially the people of the Shenma Family, who were all horrified.

“Get lost!” The man snapped coldly.

The members of the Shenma Family immediately came to their senses, and they did not dare to stay any longer. A group of people supported the seriously injured owner and left hurriedly.
