398: The God's Building!

“The Netherworld King Cult was destroyed by the Blood Emperor, so if the Netherworld King can return, then it's understandable that he destroyed the forces of the Blood Emperor.”

“The Netherworld King’s cultivation was at the Immortal King Zenith Realm back then. After so many years, I don’t think he could have improved much.”

“From this perspective, the Blood Emperor’s cultivation was, at most, at the Immortal King Great Perfection Realm.”

“However, none of these matters concern us.”

“Whether the Netherworld King or the Blood Emperor lives or dies is not important for what we need to do right now.”

“Rest well tonight, and tomorrow we will depart for Shensha Pavilion,” Chu Yun said to the others.

Immortal King Qi Xi nodded, “Yes, Uncle Yan.”

Although the Netherworld King was defeated by the Time-Space Human Ancestor and was also from the Yuan Realm.

What was in the past is in the past; what is now is now.

Chu Yun’s strength had not yet reached its former Peak, and he was no match for the Netherworld King.

Even with Qi Xi and Qi Bai, the two of them combined would find it quite difficult to fight an Immortal King Zenith.

It would be much simpler to deal with the Netherworld King once he had finished editing the background identity of the Chaos Dominator.

Afterward, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.

The City of Death was very quiet at night; the surrounding streets had no light, but the scent of blood was heavier than during the day.

For the people here, night was the beginning of slaughter.

Some personal grudges, including infighting and secret schemes between factions, were all resolved in the darkness.

...

North of the city.

A Niu’s luck was pretty good; he walked a long way with the severely injured old man.

They left Immortal King Mu’s territory and even passed through the Seven Shas Immortal King’s domain. Fortunately, no one bothered him.

Perhaps it was because he looked so simple-minded, and the old man’s clothes were tattered, so people subconsciously felt that these individuals had no value and thus didn't bother them.

However, along the way, A Niu witnessed more than a dozen instances of slaughter.

At least a thousand people were brutally murdered before his eyes, and most of them were killed without a single word of nonsense, taking lethal action the moment an opportunity arose.

He even personally witnessed a Great Emperor Realm Peak being instantly dismembered, his body broken into five pieces, and his Soul devoured by a ghost creature raised by his opponent.

After walking this far, A Niu, who was already terrified, became even more worried.

He was now sitting in a room at an inn, taking large gulps of wine.

The blood-robed old man in tattered clothes sat on the bed, holding his breath and concentrating, recuperating from his injuries.

“This godforsaken place is truly not fit for humans.”

“Whoever wants to wander around can go themselves! Grandpa Niu will stay here for seven days!”

“After seven days, I’ll go straight back to Yinmu Tower and tell Second Master that I’ve finished my tour.”

“Old man, you’ll have to cooperate with me then!”

“Don’t let Second Master see through our deception.”

After finishing a few gulps of strong wine, A Niu looked at the blood-robed old man sitting on the bed and said.

They had chatted along the way.

A Niu had briefly told him about himself and Chu Yun’s group coming here for training.

And from their conversation, the blood-robed old man also told A Niu that his injuries were inflicted by someone from the Blood Emperor Cult.

So now he had to avoid the Blood Emperor Cult’s territory.

“Young friend, rest assured. If this old man is needed, I will certainly cooperate with you,” the old man opened his eyes and replied to A Niu with a chuckle.

“Alright!”

“Then I’m relieved!”

“Time to sleep! Time to sleep!”

“This trip has scared Grandpa Niu’s little heart.”

“Grandpa Niu needs a good sleep and some rest.”

With that, A Niu lay down on the spot, and snoring soon followed. His sleep quality was truly exceptional.

After A Niu fell asleep, the old man sat on the bed, the smile on his face slowly disappearing, replaced by a hint of solemnity.

He looked at the injury on his chest; within the deep, bone-piercing wound, a faint trace of Netherlight was secretly hidden.

“I didn’t expect you to have such a hidden trick.”

“Netherworld King, oh Netherworld King, you truly live up to your reputation.”

With a solemn expression, the blood-robed old man pulled a strand of hair from his body and placed it on the wound, temporarily suppressing the Netherlight.

...

Netherworld King Cult.

After the Blood Emperor Cult was annihilated, the Netherworld King directly re-established the Netherworld King Cult at the former Blood Emperor Cult site.

Eighty percent of the Blood Emperor Cult’s high-ranking experts were slain by the Netherworld King.

The remaining twenty percent were controlled by him and have now become high-ranking members of the Netherworld King Cult.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Netherworld King Cult.

The Netherworld King sat alone in the seat above, his eyes closed, his brows slightly furrowed, and Netherlight swirling in his hands, as if he was performing some kind of spell.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and the Netherlight in his hands receded.

“Hmph!”

“Old fellow, I didn’t expect you to have something like this on you!”

“To be able to suppress the hidden move I left, you truly are cunning.”

“However… I have already determined your approximate location.”

“You won’t escape the debt for destroying my Netherworld King Cult!”

A sinister glint flashed in the Netherworld King’s eyes.

...

The next day.

Seven Shas Immortal King’s territory, Shensha Pavilion.

It served as the gathering and discussion place for the core members under the Seven Shas Immortal King. Shensha Pavilion was almost never open to outsiders; only those under the Seven Shas Immortal King could enter.

Shensha Pavilion had a total of seven floors, and at this moment, on the seventh floor, which was the very top floor.

A long table was placed in the middle, and nine figures were seated around it in sequence.

The Qi emanating from the nine individuals were all at the Immortal Martial Realm level.

All nine were high-ranking core members under the Seven Shas Immortal King, and the three at the head were all at the Immortal Martial Realm Peak cultivation level.

They were the Seven Shas Immortal King’s absolute confidants, named Zuo Nian, Zeng Tian, and Xu Chang.

“Today’s main topic is still about the annihilation of the Blood Emperor Cult and the return of the Netherworld King Cult,” Zuo Nian, who was seated at the head of the table, said at this time.

“Everyone knows that our territory is adjacent to the Blood Emperor Cult.”

“Now that the Netherworld King has returned, even Immortal King Mu is unsure of his methods and ambitions.”

“Therefore, Immortal King Mu’s intention is also for you to avoid provoking them as much as possible.”

“It would be even better if the people of the Netherworld King Cult could be made to fight with other forces first,” Zuo Nian, who was seated at the head of the table, said at this time.

“Brother Zuo, we understand Immortal King Mu’s meaning.”

“We can also restrain our subordinates from actively causing trouble.”

“However, if the people of the Netherworld King Cult actively provoke us, what should we do then?!” At this moment, an Immortal Martial Realm asked.

Zeng Tian, the Seven Shas Immortal King’s second-in-command, answered him at this moment: “Endure!”

“The reason is simple: the Blood Emperor Cult was destroyed by the Netherworld King. If we really fight, we definitely won’t win.”

“Therefore, the current situation is such that we temporarily cannot afford to provoke this Netherworld King Cult.”

“If they actively provoke us, we can only retreat.”

Listening to Zeng Tian’s words, some of the others frowned, feeling that this was too cowardly.

But on second thought, it was indeed the most suitable choice.

After all, the Blood Emperor Cult, once the largest force in the City of Death, had been annihilated.

Now that the Netherworld King had returned, if he wanted the Netherworld King Cult’s prestige to resound throughout the City of Death once more, then he would likely need to make an example of another force.

At this time, they absolutely could not actively create an opportunity for him.
