The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

96. Summoning

Translator: Ning LL

The King was not unfamiliar with Carendra’s name and even had heard of the latter.

As one of the Three Big families in the Netherworld, the Sura family developed very fast. However, the really powerful cultivators in their family were rather few. Until now, there wasn’t a single expert who was in the God Sovereign realm. It didn’t mean that they didn’t have the talent for cultivation. The most important reason was that they had been restrained by their bloodline.

Due to the particularity of the bloodline of the Sura family, it would be three or four times harder for them to cultivate when they were in the early stage of their cultivation. Thus their cultivation speed was also slower than others.

However, once the cultivators of the Sura family had broken through the God King realm, their bloodline would be stimulated, which made their cultivation process much easier and quicker than before. Unfortunately, the experts of the Sura family had all passed away in the great war between the Gods and Demons which broke out tens of thousands of years ago. The secret art which helped the people in the Sura family to stimulate their bloodline also went missing at that time. As a result, the Sura family had declined ever since then. At last, when their former enemies came to them, most of their family members had to move to the Netherworld.

A few experts of the Sura family who had passed away were sort of the acquaintances of King of the Netherworld, so he allowed the Sura family to settle in the Netherworld.

Nevertheless, the Sura family was keen on fighting. The family members were all militants who were unwilling to see their family declining. So, they kept looking for a solution. However, the solutions they had found were all palliatives. As long as their bloodline couldn’t be stimulated, their condition would stay the same forever.

Carendra was the hope of the Sura family. He had already become an expert in the sixth grade of the God King realm. Even since the Sura family declined, he was the only one in his family who had reached the God King realm before thirty. Thus, he was the most likely one to revive the Sura family. That was because if a member of the Sura family still hadn’t reached the God King realm at a young age, it might be impossible for him to stimulate his bloodline.

As a result, the Sura family had high expectations of Carendra, the only hope of the family.

Carendra hadn’t disappointed his family. With great talent and his hard work, he had finally made a breakthrough in the Heaven God realm and reached the God King realm. In fact, he was even more talented than Ming Qingyu who was known as the most talented cultivator in the Netherworld. It was just that Carendra always stayed low-profile and aloof, so the people who were not from his family seldom heard of his name.

This time he finally became famous because he had attended the assessment of the Green Nether Hunting Group.

Therefore, when Carendra heard that Feng Xi could help him make a breakthrough in the God King realm and reach the God Sovereign realm, he was struck dumb and  even exposed his inner feelings.

The people of the Sura family had come to the Heaven Peak Palace for their family but were blocked out by Uncle White.

The King had heard of that before. The elders of the Sura family had begged the King to help Carendra despite the fact that they might lose face. However, the King had no obligation to help them and Uncle White wasn’t the kind of person who had sympathy for everyone. Therefore, the elders of the Sura family had been driven away by Uncle White before they even had a chance to see the King’s face.

However, things were different right now. Since Carendra had saved Feng Xi’s life, the King felt that the Sura family now deserved to be helped. After all, at that critical moment, Carendra had protected Feng Xi from Ming Heiyu’s attack.

Because of Feng Xi, the King finally paid attention to Carendra.

Carendra was a brave and cautious man with ingenuity who could keep calm when problems came up. If his bloodline could be stimulated, he would definitely become an extremely powerful expert in the future. What was more, it would also be good for Feng Xi if he could cultivate with Carendra.

“Then, you can call him over.” After thinking for a short moment, the King nodded under the expectant gaze of Feng Xi.

“Hooray! You are the best, my leader!” Feng Xi jumped to the King right away. Then he started to rub the King’s body lovingly with his own.

The King showed a smile in his eyes with the look on his face turning soft. After a short while, he called Uncle White in. When Uncle White heard that the King wanted him to summon Carendra, Feng Xi had an illusion that the corner of Uncle White’s eyes seemed to twitch.

After Uncle White left, Feng Xi shook his head and asked, “That’s so weird. Why is that?”

The King closed his eyes while holding the boy in his arms. Hearing that question, he opened his eyes slowly and said, “What’s so weird?”

“Uncle White. He seemed quite strange just now.” Feng Xi had no idea that the words

he had said to his buddies were already heard by the King and Uncle White. If Feng

Xi knew about that, he might not have the guts to talk to Uncle White for quite a while.

Though Uncle White knew that the King wanted Carendra to be here because the

latter had saved Feng Xi’s life, he still couldn’t forget about the words Feng Xi had said about him and Carendra. Then, the icy look on his poker face had softened again.

The King took a glance at Feng Xi and said in a flat tone, “Uncle White is born an indifferent person and never has a partner until now.”

“Huh?” Feng Xi raised his head with a confused look, feeling his leader was trying to hint something.

Seeing the boy hadn’t got a clue, the King continued, “Uncle White doesn’t have a son.”

“Oh.” Feng Xi nodded in a daze. However, while he was nodding, there was a huge bang echoing in his head as if he had been struck by lightning. Then he opened his mouth wide and stared at the King in a trance. After a long while, Feng Xi, fingers trembling, asked, “How did you know?”

“Don’t do the crime if you cannot do the time.” The King smiled gently while reminding Feng Xi.

Feng Xi didn’t know how to retort and only gazed at the King for a long while. At last, he still gave a flattering smile and patted the King’s chest, “My leader, you have remembered it wrong. I’ve never said that. Eh, I wonder if Uncle White knows that I have said those words.”

The King raised the boy’s chin and asked, “What do you think?”

“Ha-ha, you both heard it wrong. Actually, I never said anything like that at all. I wasn’t talking about Uncle White. It was someone else that I was talking about. Ha, that’s right, someone else. I wasn’t referring to Uncle White!” The more Feng Xi tried to hide the truth, the more his expression betrayed him, because he really was bad at lying.

The King glanced at the blushing face of the boy in his arms. Now under the good care of the King, the boy looked more delicate than before and was no longer the ordinary mortal. Though Feng Xi was about to reach twenty, he still looked like a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy with a slender figure as if he was going to be blown away with a gust of wind.

When the King saw the boy for the first time in the Desire Sea, he had known that there were so many puzzles about the boy. Although the King had solved some of the puzzles by himself, he still couldn’t figure out the rest. Every time he had managed to dispel the mist, there would be a new layer of mist enveloping him. After the King failed to solve the puzzles, he just gave up.

He knew that the Way of Heaven would let him know everything one day.

“Uncle White is back.” The King suddenly looked to the door while saying that gently.

Feng Xi jumped to the ground from the King’s arms right away and then said to the King nervously, “My leader, if Uncle White looks for me later, just tell him I’m not here.”

Before the King said yes, Feng Xi slipped to the back at once, using the King’s body to cover his little figure.

It took the King a long while to move his eyes away from the boy.

At this time, Uncle White had already brought Carendra whose facial expression seemed quite strained into the Palace. No matter how indifferent Carendra was, he still couldn’t help but get excited when walking into the Heaven Peak Palace. He still didn’t know why the King had summoned him and even sent Uncle White to pick him up. Even so, Carendra had a feeling that this might be the only chance for the revival of the Sura family.

Before, Carendra could only look up at the majestic Palace. Now, as he stepped into this place, the astonishment deep inside was already beyond description.

After the barriers were opened, the spiritual energy inside the Heaven Peak Palace came to him right away. As Carendra couldn’t help but take a deep breath, the spiritual energy in his veins even started to flow faster and even his soul began to tremble. Carendra was shocked that the spiritual energy in the Palace was several times richer than the outside. If he could cultivate himself here, he would definitely reach the seventh grade of the God King realm within less than three months.

However, that was merely a fleeting thought of him. Right now, he had no guts to show his feelings.

While Carendra followed Uncle White to the inside, he gradually became less excited and what followed was fear for the unknown. When he saw the Quiet Stage Palace which was sending out sacred aura, he felt his palm breaking into a cold sweat at once, with a nervous look crossing his rigid face. He had never met King of the Netherworld and only heard of the latter’s name from the elders in his family.

Carendra worshiped power, so he admired the Heaven Peak Palace just like others and even had expected that one day he would meet King of the Netherworld. However, when the day suddenly came, he got a bit dazed and felt like he was only dreaming. He was even afraid that he would wake up from this dream and lose everything.

“His Majesty is in there, please go in!” Uncle White’s cold voice suddenly came up, drawing Carendra back to the reality.

The elder in white sent out cold air from all over with no expression on his face, giving others a strong sense of pressure. Seeing him, Carendra frowned slightly, feeling that something familiar had just flashed in his mind. However, he couldn’t figure out what that was, so he just gave up. Then he nodded to the elder with respect and said, “Thanks for leading the way for me!”

Uncle White took a glance at him without saying anything. Then the former called the four maids out.

In the meantime, Carendra took a deep breath as he stared at the black gate. Then he walked inside slowly…
