The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

306. Flags in Twelve Colours

Translator: 飞弹

The branch of the Myemo Tribe was located on the Steep Peak ten kilometers away from the south of Imperial Dragon Town. It was surrounded by the dense forest and a large number of Demon Beasts were strewn all round it. Most of the Demon Beasts were specially captured in other areas by the people of the Myemo Tribe, so most people did not dare to approach the Steep Peak.

Steep Peak was the highest and most precipitous peak in Degenerate God Ravine. The colorful palace of Ronba was built on it. It was just a branch, but most of the soldiers of the Myemo Tribe were put on the Steep Peak, and Ronba also liked to live on the Steep Peak, so the headquarters 5,000 kilometers away from here had actually long existed in name only.

The Myemo Tribe had flags in twelve colors, which were black, red, brown, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, pink, grey and white. The flags represented the strength of everyone in the Myemo Tribe. The darker the color of one flag was, the stronger the man who belonged to the flag was. Each flag had 10 to 30 people, and they were divided mainly based on power with contribution value as a supplement.

In other words, even though one had the power, if he didn’t have contribution values, then he could only be assigned to a flag in the color which was neither dark nor light and vice versa.

The so-called contribution value did not mean the contribution to the the Myemo Tribe. There were two ways to get contribution values.

The first way was to get points by killing the people of the Jintin Tribe and the Tendo Tribe. The points were different according to the rank of the cultivation level. The cultivation levels were divided from low to high into seven stages: Magician, Profound Heaven realm, Sky God, Regal God, Exalt God, Lesser Heaven God and Great Heaven God.

In other words, in order to get one point, one needed to kill 100 Magicians or 50 cultivators on the level of Profound Heaven realm or 20 Sky Gods or 10 Regal Gods or one Exalt Gods. But he could get ten points if he killed one Lesser Heaven Gods, and if he killed one Great Heaven Gods, he could get one hundred points. However, the targets were limited to the people in the Jintin Tribe and the Tendo Tribe.

The second way was to capture or kill Demon Beasts, and one could get almost as many points as he did in the first way. This was why there were so many Demon Beasts in the forest of the Steep Peak.

In the end, when he got enough points, one guy could challenge the stronger one with half of the points he had got. If the guy succeeded, he could replace the position of the other party and belong to the other party’s flag. But if the guy failed, then half of the points he had must be given to the other party. This was a very fair way, all based on strength.

Of course, there were also some people who were smart while their strength was not good. These people could choose to stay at the flag in the palest color, and then try to be promoted to another flag in a less lighter color in three years. Otherwise, they would go and be the subordinates of Echu and Eshar, who would arrange and order them at will. But most people would rather go to follow Echu and Eshar than stay in the flags in twelve colors.

Because for those who were weak, Eshar had set up a series of punishment systems.

Although the flags in twelve colors were divided by the strength with colors, they were also divided into three camps. The people in the white, grey, pink and purple flags were the weakest ones, followed by those in the blue, cyan, green and yellow flags, and finally the people of the orange, brown, red and black flags were the strongest.

The people of the flags in four colors, that is, the third camp, would be arranged by Eshar to do boring jobs, such as sweeping up, doing the dishes, wiping tables and cleaning restrooms. The palace was so big that Eshar was not afraid that they would have nothing to do.

Then as for the second camp, their jobs were relatively simple. They just needed to repair the broken wooden boards of the palace, and they were also responsible for feeding some captive Demon Beasts in the Myemo Tribe. If there was anyone who hadn’t been fixed with a job, Eshar would let them go outside to work in other families for earning crystals. Only the people of the first camp didn’t need to do anything.

These punishments were unusual but they were also what those people couldn’t accept the most.

No matter what happened, they were also famous powerhouses in Degenerate God Ravine. If people knew that they were doing some boring jobs in the palace, it would be so humiliating. So in order to get rid of this kind of shameless work, all of them worked hard and tried their best to be promoted to the flags in the darker colors.

Although people in every four flags formed a camp, it did not mean that the strength of the people in four flags was almost the same. The people in the black flag were the strongest of the first camp, which referred to Nangong Yang, Yang Xiao, Yang Mo and the other men in black who brought Feng Xi to the Myemo Tribe.

They were the most idle people among all the members of the flags in twelve colors. Even if there was a mission, they didn’t need to do it. So they had been always idle and restless.

This time, because Ronba ordered them firmly to take action against the Jintin Tribe and the Tendo Tribe and they didn’t need to do it in secret like before, so the people in black flag strongly requested to participate in the action. This just caused the super “ridiculous” scene that Feng Xi had seen just now. In just two days, they had done like this for more than five times, raising the specter of people in Western Waste Land.

“What you mean is that this little buddy has got separated from his Boss because of you, so you let him come back with you for the time being until we find Boss?” Eshar looked Feng Xi up and down and then stood in front of them, concluding kindly what they had said.

“Well… That’s probably what I meant,” As the person who caused it, Nangong Yang was pushed out to explain it to him again.

“You brought him back without even finding out who he is. Should I reward you?” Eshar looked at Feng Xi and directly showed his dissatisfaction in front of him.

In the current Degenerate God Ravine, there was a real threat of war between the three great tribes; but at such a critical moment, these idiots actually brought an stranger with them. If he happened to be a man of the Jintin Tribe or the Tendo Tribe, wouldn’t they personally send the enemy to their stronghold?

“We’ve asked him before. He’s from the Feng Tribe,” Nangong Yang answered in a low voice with his neck shrunk.

“Do you think I’m a fool?” Eshar squinted his eyes, then he slapped his face and spat at him, “The only forces that dare to claim to be tribes in Degenerate God Ravine were the Myemo Tribe, the Jintin Tribe and the Tendo Tribe. When do you hear about the Feng Tribe? Are you out of your mind and you even believed this?!”

Nangong Yang took a step back when Eshar roared him. Then he explained, “Of course not. We’ve asked long ago that the Feng Tribe was named by him, which happened just one hour ago.”

“So what? Did you just believe him like this?” Eshar was obviously not that easy to be fooled.

“Of course not…” Nangong Yang couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible to believe his words so easily, but the situation was different at that time. They had no choice. They could not really run back naked, could they? He believed that if the positions between Eshar and them were reversed, his final choice would be the same as that of them. After all, the young boy’s cultivation level was only six-star Exalt God, and he could barely enter the second camp. He really didn’t believe that a person like the young boy could deal with such a large number of people.

“Then why did you bring him back?” Eshar also knew that they were not that kind of people, but he was curious about the reason why all fifteen of them agreed to bring him back to the Myemo Tribe.

Hence, Nangong Yang told him the whole story, not daring to miss out any details, because the smart Eshar would definitely be able to guess it.

After listening to the whole story, Eshar glanced at Feng Xi in surprise. The person who could think of letting them to run back naked was indeed a genius, but if they really did like that, it would definitely affect the Myemo Tribe. Because of it, he had reason to suspect that this young boy was the spy from their enemies, and his purpose was likely to dishonor the name of the Myemo Tribe, even though the Myemo Tribe did not have much reputation.

“You guys are really amazing. I have long told you not to play that game, but all of you don’t listen to me. Now you know the consequences!” Eshar said with a sneer.

“What should we do now? We have already brought him here.” Nangong Yang had known that he would make great efforts to bluff his way through Eshar, so he could only let nature take its course.

“I have to report this to the master first. Coincidentally, the master is free now. Bring him over there.”

It was a matter of great importance. Right now, any stranger who entered the Myemo Tribe couldn’t be let off easily. Only those who were really harmless to the Myemo Tribe could make him rest assured. Eshar thought that the background of the young boy was a little strange, so he still had to take him to see his master. If there was really something strange about this boy, he could let his master investigate the young boy’s soul.

Looking at Eshar who turned to leave, Nangong Yang looked at Feng Xi helplessly, “You heard it too.”

“If I had known it, I should have let you run first,” Feng Xi could understand his thoughts, but he didn’t want to agree with Nangong Yang. Wasn’t he just going to stay here for one or two days? Why did the Myemo Tribe treat him so vigilantly as if he was the dead enemy of the Myemo Tribe and he had to be examined so strictly?

“Don’t say like that. We believe that you’re not a spy. As for the question that whether a spy would be like you, do you think that…” Nangong Yang turned around with a smile, wanting to ask his companions for approval, but there was no one behind him at all.

“You don’t need to have a look. They have long run away,” Feng Xi even watched as they sneaked away one by one.

“You’re really a bunch of ungrateful guys! You just share the fortunes and let me suffer the hardship!” Nangong Yang scolded them angrily; but in fact, he was not really that angry. Obviously, this was not the first time they had abandoned him.

Then the two of them followed Eshar. Feng Xi thought that he was free now, so he would be reluctant to meet the strongest man of the rumors.

After Feng Xi came to Degenerate God Ravine, the rumor he had heard most was about Ronba of the Myemo Tribe. It was said that he was the strongest man in Degenerate God Ravine. The Myemo Tribe led by him was completely different from the Jintin Tribe and the Tendo Tribe. His main rule was to prohibit internal conflicts. Once he found out that someone disobeyed the rule, his cultivation level would immediately be destroyed while the one would also be slung out of the Myemo Tribe. So, even if the number of the people in the Myemo Tribe was small, they were all powerhouses. Some relied on strength while someone else depended on schemes. Besides, they were also tight groups.

Ronba’s residence was very easy to find. It was just located on the tallest peak, the Steep Peak, where a quiet yard was built with a grass shed. Ronba would drink there most of the time to view the scenery, as if he was uplifting the mind and the spirit. But in fact, he was training his mental state.

When Feng Xi and Nangong Yang walked into the yard, they saw the jars scattered on the ground. The person lying on the grass was Ronba himself.
