Chapter 24: Nether Emperor City

  In recent days, the Netherworld has been bustling with activity. The scenes of burning, killing, looting and fighting that were once ubiquitous have become rare. From Red Su City to Black Cang City and all the way to Ming Huang City, people are coming and going, very lively, with varying levels of strength gathering in groups of three or five. All this is unfolding as expected by Qing Kuang. If it's said that no one has ever done this before, that would be impossible. It's just that no one was able to destroy the obstacles between cities, so they were unable to succeed. However, as long as people are not willing to live in conditions where they can't eat their fill, sleep well and constantly worry about their lives, there will always be someone who rises up in rebellion, overthrowing the ruling powers. What Qing Kuang did was to give these people a small spark of hope, but how far this fire would spread is not something she needs to consider.

  "Haha, Brother Wang, you're here too..."

  "Of course, I've long been unwilling to stay here for another moment, I'm really fed up..."

  "Look, look, aren't those two over there a pair of Double Hawks? I really didn't think they'd come too..."

  "Yes, yes, those eagles over there have also arrived..."

  "They also came?"

  "It seems like everyone is here for the same purpose..."

  In the noisy crowd, all sorts of whispers came from time to time. Every face was filled with scrutiny, curiosity and vigilance... While observing others, they were also weighing in their hearts who would be an enemy and who would be an ally.

  "What's next, Light?" For a long time, several people had been accustomed to asking her for guidance on everything. The dozens of people following beside them were puzzled, but they didn't say much, as long as their interests weren't harmed, and they had also gained many benefits before, so naturally they wouldn't speak out of turn now.

  Looking at the architecture of Ming Huang City, and then looking at the crowd around her, she was very satisfied. She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and there were so many people coming. However, for such a result, she was still very excited in her heart, the more turbid the water is, the more it can provide her with an opportunity to take advantage of!

  "First find a place to settle down, then we'll make long-term plans." With such a large group of people following her, even Leng Qiu couldn't think clearly about how to face them.

  They headed towards the inner city of Ming Huang City, and indeed, there were people everywhere. It was probably the first time they had seen such a crowded scene! Qing Kuang held Xuan Xi's hand, strolling from house to house, searching for a place to settle down. However, it seemed that their luck wasn't too good, and after walking for a long time, they still couldn't find a place that could accommodate their group of several dozen people.

  "What are we going to do now?" Dongfang Ji turned his head to look at her. The group of old men didn't care, they had experienced wind and rain before, but after all, there was Qingkuang and the child, if they still mixed with these men, it would be very inconvenient!

  "What to do?" After a glance around, Leng Kong's gaze settled on a large and luxurious mansion. "No place? Then let's take one by force!" A playful smile, after all, isn't taking things by force the rule of this world?

  Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ji and Beidong Zhimo exchanged a glance. They had just robbed a dead man's belongings, were they going to rob a house now too? When did Qingkuang become so...so "lawless"? Even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't think Qingkuang was in the wrong, and following him meant having food to eat! Naturally, they wouldn't say any more.

  "This house is fine, sitting north and facing south, the place is big enough, and the feng shui is not bad, I've taken a liking to this house!" In front of them was a neatly arranged courtyard wall, with a large red door tightly closed. However, on the door were many scars from knife cuts, as well as burn marks. On the two stone lions at the entrance, there were also bloodstains, showing that a fierce battle had taken place here not long ago.

  With these details in mind, he strode forward with a swagger, kicked the door open with one foot, and with a loud crash, the two large doors fell to the ground as if in slow motion, the heavy sound immediately alerting the people inside.

  "What kind of person?! How dare you come here and cause trouble!" A sturdy, dark-skinned man with a tiger-like back and bear-like waist charged out with a group of people, their eyes blazing with anger, wanting to tear them apart alive.

  "It's not about being reckless, just borrowing this place for now. Now, you can get out of here!" Stomping her foot, she carelessly brushed off the dust on her shoes with a slight pout.

  "Who do you think you are, telling us to scram? This is our turf!" The burly man swung his large knife, his arm muscles rippling with explosive power, as he glared menacingly at the young punk. They had just taken over this place, and before they could even warm up their seats, some weakling of a girl dared to provoke them - did she really think that Xiong Erhei was someone to be trifled with?

  "Oh? Not leaving, huh? Well, that's a problem. I was kind enough to give you an opportunity, but since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me." She shrugged her shoulders, her tone casual yet laced with disappointment. But when she raised her eyes again, her words took a sharp turn, and her demeanor suddenly became fierce. "Guards! Since these people don't know what's good for them, throw them all against the wall and make sure they can't even scrape themselves off! Hmph!"

  She snorted, not even sparing them a glance, and grasped her son's small hand in hers, fiddling with it nonstop. Just as everyone was wondering who the "little servant" she mentioned was, Feng Jiang Mou Lu emerged from behind, his face covered in dark lines, feeling extremely disgruntled in his heart. He was the great Demon General Feng Jiang Mou Lu! How did he end up being called a "little servant" by a human? Although it was true that he was indeed a servant, why did this title sound so awkward? In the future, when there's an opportunity, he must think of a way to resolve this matter.

  "Hmph! How arrogant! I, the old bear, want to see what you're capable of, daring to be so rampant on my turf! All of you, come at me! Let them die without a whole corpse, throw all of them into the backyard to feed the dogs!"

  A large group of people rushed forward with a loud shout, and the people following her were all on high alert, even preparing to take action. However, Feng Jiang Mou was not just a decoration? The long spear was pulled out from behind his back, directly cutting through the air like chopping cabbage, and in an instant, his figure rose into the air, wailing sounds echoed, it's really unknown how many groups of people occupied this courtyard, with such strength, how did they do it? It's too puzzling!

  Along with the wailing, Feng Jiang Mou also didn't forget what he said earlier, and really kicked these people flying in mid-air into the wall, and they couldn't be pulled out.

  "What kind of people are you, anyway? I'm telling...telling you...my big brother and the others will be back soon, and when they do, you'll be dead for sure. Now, if you leave quickly, I can let bygones be bygones..." The dark-skinned burly man was sweating profusely, his eyes darting back and forth, searching for an escape route.

  Frowning secretly, he was already impatient in his heart, "You're so noisy ~ little servant, my master is tired now, and your young master is also tired, let's end this quickly!"

  Feng Jiang Mou's figure paused, and a strong black air directly rushed towards the dark big men. Suddenly, a mournful cry sounded, accompanied by the black air, all the people who were in the way disappeared, no one knew where they went, whether they were alive or dead. Oh, no, maybe Feng Jiang Mou could know, but those were no longer what they should be concerned about.

  The crowd was shocked and lost their color, looking at the light and crazy eyes also became more cautious. After all, there is such a servant, the master's strength is not to be underestimated. The Eastern Qiu and Northern Tang Mo were also surprised to look at the light and crazy, while Huangfu Mingbo narrowed his eyes, with an imperceptible arc at the corner of his mouth.

  "Alright, now this place is ours, you find your own accommodations!" Pulling Xuan Xi's hand, she led the way in. Just now, she had discovered that there was a strong smell of blood in the courtyard, and didn't know how many people had lost their lives here.

  Feng Jiangmu put away his long spear, while Hei Lin's eyes were filled with excitement as he followed the footsteps of the carefree person. This human's way of doing things really suited his taste! How could something so "cute" be bad?!

  Pushing open the door to a room, Qing Kuang always felt a bloody smell at the tip of her nose. Lighting up a stalk of lily incense, it wasn't long before she managed to dispel the bloody smell. Looking at Feng Jiang Mou and Hei Lin who followed in, Qing Kuang didn't say much either. One was a demon from the same blood contract as her, the other was the contracted super divine beast of her precious son, compared to those people outside, she trusted them more, so it's still better for them to act together.

  "Mother, what's next?" He wrapped his arms around Qing Kuang's waist and looked up at her.

  "Let's wait and see for now, there aren't enough people yet, it's probably still troublesome to want to leave this place, and we also don't know what the next city is like, or what kind of difficulties lie ahead, so we'll have to wait for someone to 'take the lead' for us, while we accumulate our strength in the meantime."

  "Alright, I'll listen to you, Mother... But I don't know what those two cities are called now, after all, no matter where they are, the dynasties change, let alone a city! So it's possible that the lord of the city has changed too. Oh right, Mother!" Thinking of someone he had met before, Xuan Xi felt that it was better to tell his mother about this matter.

  "What's wrong?" He picked the person up in one move, walked to the side of the bed and sat down, took out four Life Fruits and threw them at those two guys, only then did he look at the treasure in his arms.

  When he saw Qingkuang sit down, Feng Jiangmou and Hei Lin also sat down, and he took the bright red fruit in his hand. Feng Jiangmou had eaten it before, so he naturally knew it was good stuff. Hei Lin, on the other hand, was seeing it for the first time, didn't think much of it, and bit into it with a crunch. After chewing twice, his eyes were shining brightly...

  Even with all eyes on him, Xuan Xi spoke slowly and calmly, "Mother, do you still remember the person who saved us back then, the one with a blue-colored birthmark on her face?"

  It was her who rescued them from the Red Sand Burial Soul, and she nodded slightly, indicating that she remembered.

  "That person's jade pendant at the waist, I don't know if Mother noticed it or not. That jade pendant is a heirloom of the Void Ghost Realm, passed down through generations as a symbol of the realm master's identity, so that man should be this generation's realm master."

  This stunning news was unexpected, that person turned out to be the Boundary Master? He even saved them, but why did he save them? Why did he appear there? What kind of purpose did he have in saving them? Is it good or bad to get involved with the Boundary Master? The more she thought about it, the more uncertain and confused Lightness felt, as if her mind was a complete mess.

  "Mother? Mother......" Patting her lightly flushed face, Xuan Xi looked at her with concern.

  "What? Oh, Mother is fine." Jingkong came back to his senses from his daze, no matter what happened, she would face it head-on.

  Knock knock knock, the sound of knocking on the door came, and outside, Beidong Qimeng's voice rang out, "Qingkuang, come out and eat something!"

  "Come on!" Looking at Feng Jiang Mou Xun and Hei Lin, he slightly gestured for them to hurry up and eat. After they finished eating in a few mouthfuls, he opened the door and walked out.

  "Lightly insane, everything is ready-made, we've walked for so long, let's eat something first!" Beitang Qimò's face was still not good, but perhaps it was because he found Lightly Insane and saw hope, his spirit was quite good.

  "Let's go!"

  Pulling Xuan Xi, Feng Jiang Mou Xun and Hei Lin followed behind her, one on the left and one on the right, squeezing Bei Tang Qi Mo Hei to one side. Hei Lin didn't care, but Feng Jiang Mou Xun had a very unfavorable impression of these humans.

  All the way to the dining hall, Qing Kuang and Bei Tang Qi Mo didn't say much, but Bei Tang Qi Mo felt that Qing Kuang was a bit strange, as if he was deliberately keeping his distance from them. What's going on? Qing Kuang wasn't like this before, he used to be cold outside but warm inside, but now he's giving off an aloof aura from the inside out, making it hard for him to know how to start a conversation. And what about this child, is she really Qing Kuang's daughter? How did she grow up so big? What's the relationship between her and the two people beside her? This unclear feeling made his heart feel uncomfortable.

  "You're here, Qing Kuang." Dongfang Jie stood up, and the people beside him also rose to their feet. This sudden movement interrupted Beidou Qimeng's question that was about to be asked.

  "Hmm." Looking at the empty seats, he walked over casually.

  "Let's eat first! This place can't compare with the Imperial City, but let's just make do for now!"

  "It's okay." On the table were just roasted monster meat and some fruits and vegetables. Qing Kuang picked up a slightly tender piece of meat and handed it to Xuan Xi, and he also tore off a piece to eat. After all, in the future, she would still have to rely on these people, and if she refused everyone's face, it was inevitable that someone would have some thoughts in their heart.

  She took the lead and everyone else followed suit.

  "What's our next move, Light?" Despite the circumstances, everyone couldn't help but notice the young master's demeanor. Dongfang Jue and the others ate elegantly, taking a moment to ask Light.

  "Wait!"

  "What?" The clinking of cups and saucers, accompanied by the sound of munching, intertwined together. Dongfang Ji raised his eyes to look at her.

  "Only by constantly adding firewood can the fire burn more vigorously, right?" After eating a few bites, Qing Kuang stopped eating too. She still had food in her spatial ring to eat. Looking at Huo Er who wasn't eating either, she wiped his small mouth and said nonchalantly.

  There are many astute people present, and with a little thought, they will understand the meaning of her words. The bird that sticks its head out to be shot is naturally done by others, and all they need to do is wait.

  Little did they know, while they were waiting here, there were others waiting on the other side.

  In the cold and dark great hall, a man was sitting crookedly on a throne-like chair. The man's face was indistinct, but what stood out most were his red and blue eyes, which emitted a chilling aura.

  "So, what's the situation now?" The man seemed nonchalant, playing with his fingers, but the cruelty in his tone was not hidden at all.

  "Reporting to Vice Sect Master, people from all sides have begun to gather and the number of people is still increasing." The man who replied was wearing a silver long gown with golden lotus flowers embroidered on it, looking elegant and noble, but the occasional glint in his eyes was inexplicable, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

  "Your Majesty of the Underworld, if your Underworld Castle is breached by someone, then you will no longer have any reason to exist. My Void Ghost Realm does not allow anyone to come and destroy it, otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable for you, wouldn't they?" Flicking her fingernails, those red and blue eyes were filled with sinister intentions.

  "Yes, Vice Master! I will take them down with one net." The man in silver robes had a resolute gaze, proof of his determination. Everything he did was for that person's sake, even if it meant risking his own life. He would help him protect this world, and no one could destroy it. He absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to destroy it.

  "Recently, your Hell Thirteen Wolves seem to have been killed a lot. I don't care how many of you are left. If you can't meet my requirements, I'll make sure you die and can't come back to life again. Got it?"

  "What does their life have to do with me? One dies, and there can be a second, third... as long as huge benefits are thrown out, I believe no one will not be moved. However..."

  The man on the armchair changed his posture, with a light tone, "But what?"

  "Some news has come that among the people who killed them, there are demons..." As he said this, the man in silver robes carefully looked at the man at the top, for so many years, this person had been extremely hateful towards demons.

  "What did you say?" With a loud crash, the man in front of him instantly overturned the table, followed by a roar, "What did you say? Demon clan! Say it again for me! Demon clan! Demon clan! Ahhh, demon clan..."

  Looking at the person who was going crazy above, Ming Huang carefully retreated to avoid hurting himself. However, as soon as he took a step back, his neck was immediately grabbed, "Is your information correct? Is it really the Demon Clan?"

  "No mistake, and very fierce...... Cough cough......"

  A man who had just been furious was now calm, his eyes still rolling around strangely. "Wait until all these rebels have gathered, then notify me, and I'll go there myself!"

  "Vice-Boundary Master... But..."

  "Hmm... Do you want to question my decision?"

  Being glared at by those unusual eyes, Ming Huang lowered his head and hastily nodded in agreement, "Your subordinate dares not."

  "Hum! I suppose you don't dare, get out!"

  Carefully backing out, Ming Huang only then lifted his head, smoothed out the somewhat wrinkled robes, and turned to leave.

  On the other hand, Qingkuang had taken over the mansion she had seized and was finally able to enjoy a few days of peaceful life. Of course, there were many people who didn't know any better, but after seeing the pile of severed limbs at the entrance, no one dared to come and provoke her again, after all, they didn't want to lose their arms or legs.

  However, Qing Kuang didn't expect that while waiting, she would end up waiting for two unexpected people - Xi Men Lin Xiang and Bei Tang Xin Er.

  Yesterday, just as they finished dinner and were heading back to their room, the person who went out to gather information brought back two seriously injured people. When she saw them, Qing Kuang couldn't express what she was feeling in her heart, but thinking that not seeing them would be better, she ignored Bei Tang Liu Mo's expectant gaze, directly stormed into her room and slammed the door shut, refusing to come out again.

  The next morning, Qing Kuang heard Ximen Linfeng's voice coming from outside, accompanied by the persuading voices of Dongfang Ji and Beidong Qiemo.

  "I'm sorry, Qingkuang! I also know that it's too late for me to say anything, and we were the ones who wronged you in the first place. You have every right to be angry. Now that I know you're safe and sound, a huge weight has been lifted off my mind. I don't dare ask for your forgiveness, because I don't even have the face to say such words. What happened back then was our fault, Qingkuang, I'm sorry, truly sorry..." Ximen Ruxing knelt on the ground, his heart filled with bitterness. He knew that from now on, he would lose Qingkuang as a friend. Qingkuang was someone who loved and hated clearly, and wouldn't tolerate any deceit. The fault lay entirely with them."

  Next to Dongfang Jiu and Beidong Qimeng, seeing him like this, they also felt uncomfortable in their hearts. Especially Beidong Qimeng, who had not yet recovered from the shock of learning that his sister was coming last night, already knew that something like this would happen. He finally understood why Lianhuo had become cold and distant, betrayed by a good friend, trapped in a conspiracy, with an uncertain fate. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to remain so calm either. If only he had severed ties with him directly without saying anything. But he was Xinger's brother, and his sister had betrayed Lianhuo. Who could understand the turmoil in his heart? Looking at his heavily injured friend, he felt anxious and distressed. And that silly sister of his, lying on the bed, made him even more furious and resentful. And then there was Lianhuo, whom he felt most guilty towards. He really didn't know how she had endured it back then, saving the brother of the person who betrayed her. The more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, and the more he couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt.

  Thinking of this, Beidong Qimò also knelt down beside Ximen Lingshuang and said loudly, "Lightly arrogant, I know everything that happened between you and Xinger. As her brother, I apologize on her behalf. Although it's hard to escape blame even if I die a thousand deaths, if I don't say this, my conscience will be uneasy for the rest of my life. For such a long time, it was you who helped us, protected us, but Xinger trapped you in injustice for her own purposes, which is entirely her fault. You can take revenge however you want. Fortunately, you're still safe, but the Beidong family still owes you... These things have nothing to do with Ximen, all the blame should be borne by Xinger alone. However, Ximen is now covered in wounds, can you... can you...?" Forgive? He himself couldn't do it, why should he ask others to? How could the esteemed Beidong family produce such an ungrateful thing?!

  "Lightly, I'm really sorry, I don't ask for your forgiveness, it's just... Xinger also got her retribution......" Xi Men Rongxiu licked his lips with difficulty and rubbed his eyes which were full of bloodshot, then continued to say, "Xinger had a miscarriage... We encountered a demon beast, the child... the child is gone... She couldn't bear the betrayal towards you, the condemnation of her conscience, plus the double blow of losing the child... Xinger, she's crazy... The whole person has become stupid... Lightly, I'm not saying these things to gain your sympathy, it's just... Just seeing you safe and sound, I can finally be at ease... I don't have to sleep restlessly every day, but even if I repent, repent for a lifetime, the guilt won't stop. I owe an apology to a person named Zhan Lightly, a friend who could give his life for me... Lightly, I'm sorry... Really sorry..." By the time he finished speaking, Xi Men Rongxiu had already been crying uncontrollably, this kind of mental torture was driving him crazy too! But if he went crazy, what would happen to Xinger? He's a man, with responsibility towards another woman on his shoulders! So he could only get up again and again, swallowing all the bitterness in his heart.

  Two people knelt in the middle of the courtyard, and had already attracted the attention of countless people. Dongfang Jue, who was watching from the side, furrowed his brow, unable to determine what stance he should take. After all, Qingkong had saved him many times before, so he wanted to help her plead their case! However, the object of their plea was a good friend of many years; helping them beg for mercy from Qingkong, after they had done such an excessive thing, was unreasonable both emotionally and logically. For a moment, Dongfang Jue didn't know what to do for the best, sighing... what's going on here?!

  It was unclear when Huangfu Mingbo appeared, from head to toe he didn't say a word, at this time he had his arms around his chest, leaning against the wall, his eyes constantly changing color.

  Hearing the two people's conversation, the anger in Qingkuang's heart was stirred up again. She had truly invested her emotions, but this was the result she got! Originally, she wasn't planning to let Beitang Xiner off, but after hearing that she had miscarried, her heart didn't feel good either. This had actually made things difficult for her, and she didn't know what to do anymore.

  Opening the door, looking at the two people kneeling in the courtyard, silence gradually spread. After exhaling the depression in his heart, he spoke lightly after a long time, "You also know what kind of person I am, Beidong Xiner, I will never forgive her! As for how she will be from now on, it has nothing to do with me anymore. As for you two, saying that there is no gap in your heart is impossible. The future is unpredictable, let's just wait and see! However, if anyone dares to betray again, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"

  "I won't, I won't... Don't be ridiculous, thank you, thank you... You saying that is already the greatest tolerance for me... If there's another time like this, he would have been tormented to death, if it happens again, he himself wouldn't let himself off."

  "Regardless of what happens, the Northern Tang family owes you one!" Looking at Ximen Rong's magnanimous expression, Beidong Qiemo completely understood his emotions.

  Seeing this, Dongfang Jue also let out a sigh of relief. This was already the best outcome. After all, who could be so magnanimous as to forgive someone who had pushed her into a desperate situation? Saying these words was also embarrassing for Qingkuang!

  It didn't seem like much, but after watching the lively Huangfu Ming for a long time, he muttered a sentence of boredom and finally stood firm.

  Just as Beidou Tang was helping Ximen Rong up, a report came from outside the door.

  "Miss Qingkuang, there is someone outside asking to see you." These past few days, they had all tacitly acknowledged Qingkuang's leadership position, and for any matter, they would always look for her to take charge.

  "Oh? Looking for me? Who could it be?" She didn't have any acquaintances here, who would come looking for her?

  "It's an old friend."

  "What does it look like?"

  "Wearing all black, can't see anything at all..."

  Before he could finish speaking, a man's voice interrupted from the corner of the wall, "It's me! I don't know if you're welcome or not?"

  Following the sound, everyone looked up like a wall. When Qing Kuang saw this person, he suddenly felt annoyed, and it was really a lingering ghost.

  "Is it you?" Who else could be dressed like this except for Lie Lang?

  "What? Not welcome?" He had inquired for a long time before finding this place.

  "What brings you here?"

  "Rush to you!" The fierce wolf said it as if it was a matter of course, and jumped down, also secretly measuring the people around him, before slightly putting his mind at ease.

  Go after her? What a joke! They're not even on the same wavelength, and she wouldn't think herself so great that everyone should flock to see her. This person has been up to no good from the start.

  "Oh? I don't think there's anything worth your while to run to."

  "Wrong! You do! I still have an eye for people, and my intuition is quite accurate. Compared to those useless guys, I'd rather put my bet on you!" Liewu shook his finger in disapproval, making a "tsk" sound.

  "That's really not good, even if you want to gamble, it depends on whether I'm willing to be the banker or not?" She instinctively didn't like this person, and if she really let him join in, it would be like a rotten fish stirring up a pot of stinky soup!

  "Well, let me tell you about my stake, and then consider whether to take me along or not?" He believed that as long as he mentioned the matter, it would be settled.

  Watching the two of them riddle each other, Beitang Qimeng couldn't speak up again and had no choice but to let Dongfang Jue ask instead.

  "Who is this guy?" He looks suspicious, with his head down and tail up, doesn't look like a good person at all.

  "This is it! Of course, it's the notorious Hell Thirteen Wolves' Lie Lang!" After saying this in a light and boastful tone, everyone who heard the name was stunned. If you want to join them, then let's start with an introduction first!

  "I heard he's dead..."

  "I've also heard it, but is he really...?"

  "I don't know either..."

  A skeptical voice gradually spread through the crowd, a complacent smile, and a tender shout, "Quiet!"

  Liu Lang's expression was stunned for a moment, but no one saw it. The secret he wanted to hide with all his might had been exposed like this!

  "Let's just hear what he has to say himself!"

  Seeing everyone's gaze gathered on himself, Lie Lang endured the impatience in his heart and had no choice but to reveal his true identity. "That's right, I am Lie Lang, and the one who died previously was just a substitute."

  Upon hearing this, the entire scene erupted into chaos. It's really Hell's Thirteen Wolves! But what did he come to find Miss Qingkuang for? What does he want to do? Could it be that he wants to harm them?

  "Now that I've said it, it's equivalent to showing my sincerity. Can't we have a detailed discussion now?" Wait until he leaves, and I'll definitely take care of her myself, humph!

  "Who says I want to talk to you? What qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

  "Are you regretting?" The obscured face suddenly stiffened, and the wolf's eyes were full of gloom.

  "I didn't agree to this from the start! However, I won't say I'm not giving you a chance. If you want to join us, we have to see your abilities first! If you're holding everyone back, don't expect us to save you." Alright, she admitted that she was intentionally trying to make him give up. "Little servant, go and exchange a few blows with him. The lives of so many people are not something to be taken lightly. If you can't even beat him, then there's no need for us to keep him either."

  Feng reluctantly walked down the stairs, feeling very awkward!

  Looking at the human in front of him, Feng Xiang couldn't help but take out his long spear and charge forward. After all, it was just a human! The sooner he finished this fight, the better he could go discuss with his master about changing his title.

  A powerful spiritual force burst out, and Lie Lang didn't dare to be careless. He barely resisted a few moves, but he didn't hide his strength anymore. However, Lie Lang didn't expect that this person would actually hide his strength. Guī Jiàng showed her that this person was clearly an eighth-level strong practitioner of the Huáng Qián realm, but the array under his feet was only at the fourth level of the Dì Kūn realm! Indeed, this person was a ruthless character and had to be guarded against!

  Even if Lie Lang is a Ge Kun realm, how can humans be the opponent of the Demon Clan? The battle situation was completely one-sided, after being kicked out by Feng Jiang several times, Lie Lang spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at him viciously. He didn't believe it, relying on their power would be so difficult!

  But before Lie Lang could launch an attack, Feng Jiang Mou appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, his long spear aimed at his neck, only waiting for a slight movement to end his life.

  "Hey! Don't you want what's in my hand?" Glaring at him with hatred, he would kill this stinky woman sooner or later!

  "Ah! Lost, huh? So the infamous Hell's Thirteen Wolves aren't that impressive after all! However, let me make one thing clear: you didn't have the qualifications to negotiate with me before, and now you have even less! You see, your life is in my hands right now. But my young servant has a bit of a temper, if he gets unhappy and doesn't control himself, you'll be done for. So, can you tell me about what's in your hand now?" Step by step, he walked down, standing not far from him, speaking with a light and airy tone that carried a hint of menace.

  The already injured Liewu was almost choked with rage, "Cough... you, you shameless..."

  "This thing can be eaten casually, but words cannot be spoken casually! Little servant, didn't you hear him scolding your master? Teach him a lesson for me!" A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he gave a stern warning.

  "Yes!" Feng Changyu didn't hesitate, but also grasped the right measure, and only opened a mouth on his neck, without harming his life.

  "Shh...... you, you, you......" Lie Lang looked at them in disbelief. This person had actually done what he said he would do. For the first time, he doubted himself - was it right to find this woman? Not even her servant could be defeated, let alone harm a single hair on her head!

  "Hurry up and say it, I don't have that much time to waste with you!" She hadn't even had breakfast yet!

  "Alright, I'll say it... You also know my identity. Now the big boss is gathering his men to catch all of you rebels in one net. The time should be about right now, so you'd better take precautions early." Even if he's "dead", he still knows the contact information of the 13 Wolves of Hell, so it won't be difficult for him to receive any messages.

  Gathering manpower? The "boss" he mentioned refers to Ming Lang? But why does he want to stop them? Ah, I see, that guy is the lord of this Ming Huang City, and now he wants to suppress them? Doesn't everyone want to leave here? She was wrong?

  "Let him go." Holding onto Xīěr, he walked towards the grand hall they were in before. If what he said was true, then they would have to plan for the long term.

  He struggled to get up, and the fierce wolf also followed the crowd to move forward. Originally he wanted to tell her quietly, now it's good, he is on the pirate ship.

  A group of people also knew about the situation in their eyes, silently moving to the hall, waiting for him to clarify.

  "Alright, now you can say what you know." Seated in the central position, others also found their own positions and looked at Lie Lang together.

  "I don't know if you're aware, but the leader of our Thirteen Wolves is actually the lord of Ming Huang City. Recently, he's been sending out messages to gather the remaining people and some experts. Now, people are coming to Ming Huang City one after another, just waiting for the number to be enough, then we'll... no, I mean, we'll catch you all in one net."

  "Why did he have to do this?" This broken place, will anyone still be nostalgic for it?

  "I guess it's the orders from above." After all, in the entire spiritual realm, only the boss can see the people above, and maybe there are others, but he doesn't know.

  The person above? Could it be the realm master with the blue demoness? Doesn't seem like it! But you can't judge a book by its cover, who can truly see through someone's thoughts?

  "List of people gathered, number, time and place of suppression!"

  Originally, people in the hall who heard the news were still a bit flustered, but as they asked questions in an orderly and calm manner, they also calmed down.

  "I only know that there are a few remaining from the thirteen wolves, the number is unclear, the location is unclear, and the time should be soon...” Lie Lang replied while applying medicine to himself. Putting aside personal feelings, this girl still has some capital of arrogance.

  Saying it is equivalent to not saying it, but at least now they know and won't be passively beaten.

  "What shall we do, it's getting out of hand?"

  "Yes, Miss Lightfoot, what shall we do..."

  "What should we do..."

  "Silence!" The cup was slammed directly onto the table, her lightly knitted eyebrows furrowed as she scanned the room, and finally, the hall fell silent. Was it suppressed? She thought of a way to make him leave, no matter how slight.

  "Get out and spread the word, tell everyone that the Lord of Nether City said: someone dares to break into Nether City, kill without pardon; also, he has gathered a large group of people to deal with you all, saying that you are just old mice in the sewer, absolutely not worthy of attention, once caught, skin and bones will be torn apart, fall into the Avici hell, never to be reborn. The more absurd this message is spread, the better, did everyone understand? Understood then go quickly!"

  "Yes, got it!" The crisp voice echoed throughout the hall. Even if they didn't quite understand, as long as they executed, that was all that mattered. Life was a high-stakes gamble, and now hope was right in front of them - even if it meant risking their lives, they still wanted to take a shot.

  The remaining few people looked at Qingkuang with a glance, then lowered their heads and thought carefully. It was Qingkuang who was the calmest, as the helmsman of this large ship, she couldn't let it capsize.

  In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire Nether Emperor City became somewhat ominous, with a sense of impending doom.
