Yue Xiling's face showed surprise, then she realized something and looked at Yue Qingxuan in disbelief, "Mother, you...you didn't agree, did you?"
Seeing her slowly nod, Yue Xiling's face paled. She wanted to negotiate a little longer! Why so suddenly?
"No, I won't allow it!"
Yue Xiling didn't care about anything else anymore. If she really married this old geezer, her life would be ruined!
Yue Qingxuan's gaze lingered on her for a moment before he slowly said, "Whether you agree or not, the outcome will not change. Guards, take her away..."
Just as the guards on both sides were about to take Yue Xiling away, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Who do we have here from the Thunder Domain? It's you, you old geezer!"
Yue Qingxuan waved for the guards to leave, and soon, Lu Shangyu, the Ninth King of the Underworld, stepped into the hall, staring at Bai Jingzhe with disdain.
"You're so old, why are you still thinking about young girls? You old lecher!"
"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Domain Lord!"
Wei Xuancang, who was standing next to Bai Jingzhe, turned cold and a thunder spear appeared in his hand. He was about to teach Lu Shangyu a lesson when Bai Jingzhe stopped him.
He glanced back at Lu Shangyu and said, "I thought that as the Ninth Court of the Underworld, you would know what to say and what not to say!"
As he spoke, the aura of an Immortal Realm Fifth Stage cultivator pressed down on Lu Shangyu...
"Lord Bai is right!"
Behind Lu Shangyu, a slender and upright figure with an elegant and refined demeanor stepped out. He waved his folding fan and exuded the aura of the fifth level of immortality.
He possessed the composed and noble air of a young master from a prominent family. His hair was jet black, with only a few strands of white at his temples. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, his expression was calm and peaceful, and his movements were slow and unhurried.
"My ninth son misspoke, and I apologize to Lord Bai on his behalf..."
This person is Shen Yanci, the second king of the underworld, whose guardian deity is King Chujiang, one of the ten kings of hell!
Seeing this, Bai Jingzhe withdrew his imposing aura and sat back down. He still remembered the important matter at hand. "Lord Yue, when do you think would be a better time to set this auspicious date?"
Yue Xiling's heart tightened, and just as she was about to retort again, a commotion suddenly came from outside the hall, and Bai Shaotian ran into the hall.
"God, something terrible has happened! Our men, while clearing out the demons on the west side of the city, discovered the body of Liu Hengdao, Liu Tianjun, in the forest..."
Everyone was shocked to hear this news. Liu Hengdao was a god of the fourth realm of immortality. How could he have died without any fighting?
Yue Xiling's mouth gaped slightly, a mixture of surprise and secret delight in her eyes. She knew that Li Moxuan's purpose in coming here was to kill Liu Hengdao, but she didn't expect him to act so quickly.
Yue Qingxuan noticed her expression and frowned slightly. It seemed that this matter was somewhat related to her.
However, she didn't have time to question Yue Xiling right now. The Heavenly Lord of the Thunder Domain had died within the Illusionary Dream Realm, and she had to give him an explanation...
"Shaotian, take Lord Bai and Lord Wei Tian to check the situation first. You must catch the culprit!"
"Yes!"
Bai Jingzhe could only put aside his work for the time being, since all his subordinates were dead, but it wouldn't be appropriate to go and check on them.
"Good riddance! I've had my eye on that guy for a long time!"
Lu Shangyu, however, seemed somewhat gloating, crossing his arms and saying, "If I find out which righteous man it is, I'll definitely treat him to a drink sometime..."
His voice wasn't quiet, so Bai Jingzhe naturally heard it too, but he was too lazy to waste time with Lu Shangyu here...
"My lords, I know why you've come, but I have other matters to attend to at the moment. Please, my lords, go and rest for a while..."
Yue Qingxuan waved his hand, signaling the guards to take the two of them to rest first. Shen Yanci nodded and cupped his hands, saying, "No need for now, Lord Yue, you go ahead and do your work. We'll just wander around the city!"
"Please go ahead!"
Shen Yanci led Lu Shangyu out of the hall and opened the folding fan in his hand. "Xiaoyu, I know you don't get along with the people from Leiyu, but don't say it to their faces!"
Lu Shangyu clearly didn't take his words to heart. "By the way, where's Sheng An? Wasn't he with you?"
"That kid didn't want to see Liu Hengdao, so I let him wander around the city by himself. Let's go take a look around too, and see if we can find him..."
"I'm not going!"
Lu Shangyu stretched and said, "I'm going to see how that guy Liu Hengdao died. The person who could kill him so quietly is no ordinary person..."
"Okay, go ahead! Just be careful!"
"Okay, Second Brother, stop fanning yourself with that fan all the time, it's too flashy..."
"..."
Chapter 380: I Guarantee with My Divinity
Half an hour ago.
Wang Shengan walked on the streets of the Frosty Forbidden City, with his little follower Li Qi by his side.
Li Qi exclaimed excitedly, "Young Master, this place is like a land of women! There are beautiful women everywhere!"
Wang Shengan punched him on the head, "Stop looking like a lecherous man, we have a mission to complete..."
The Underworld's withdrawal from the joint bounty and the inexplicable undead army both need to be explained, so Wang Renqing specially sent him out to gain some experience.
Of course, even if he can't handle it, there's still the Second Hall Master, Shen Yanci, to back him up. He's a Deity of the same realm as Bai Jingzhe, and his strength shouldn't be underestimated.
Just thinking about Liu Hengdao still being here made Wang Shengan clench his fists. That bastard who made him break his promise, he would definitely kill him if he had the chance!
At that moment, a woman in a black robe bumped into him and then brushed past him.
Wang Shengan subconsciously glanced back and met the gaze of the woman who was also turning around. The woman's face suddenly turned panicked, and she hurriedly ran away.
That... isn't that Mother?
Wang Shengan was stunned for a moment. Hadn't his mother passed away a long time ago? Or was his father hiding something from him?
The father's guardian deity is the head of the Ten Kings of Hell in the underworld, a position of considerable importance. It's not impossible to save the mother from the brink of death through this connection.
Perhaps my mother didn't die at all. If that's the case, why would my father hide it from me?
"Li Qi, I'm thirsty. I heard there's a milk tea shop outside Huantian Palace. Could you go and buy me one?"
"Young Master, aren't you coming along?"
Wang Shengan pointed to the teahouse not far away, "I'm tired, I'll wait for you there. Hurry up, if I haven't had my milk tea in ten minutes, don't follow me anymore!"
"what?"
Li Qi felt that he was acting a little strange, but she didn't think about it too much and assumed that he was still angry about her leaking the secret to the manor lord last time.
"I'll go right away, young master, you wait for me here!"
After sending Li Qi away, Wang Shengan turned and chased after the figure he had just seen, determined to investigate the truth on his own...
After chasing for a while, they finally saw the figure leaving the city at the gate of the Frost Forbidden City. Wang Shengan did not have the guards stop her.
If that person really is my mother, there must be some hidden story behind it. Recently, Huanmengtian and Leiyu have been getting very close. Letting them find out might not be a good thing...
Wang Shengan followed the woman out of the Frost Forbidden City. The guards knew he was the young master of the Underworld and did not stop him, but they still reported his whereabouts to Bai Shaotian.
"That person might not be your mother..."
After following them to the snowy forest in the west of the city, Zhong Kui suddenly spoke up, "The dead cannot be brought back to life, not even in the underworld!"
"But she looks so much like my mother..."
Wang Shengan clenched his fist. "Even if it's not, it must be related to something. If it's some bastard impersonating her, I'll make her pay!"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhong Kui did not try to persuade him any further. He did not want to interfere with Wang Sheng'an's choice, and it was up to him to see how far he would go in the future.
Wang Shengan followed the footprints in the snow into the snow forest. After following for a while, the sound of fighting suddenly came from afar.
He hurriedly concealed himself, hiding behind a bush and peeking out. What came into view was Liu Hengdao, whom he hated to the core.
However, he was not in good condition at the moment. His body was covered with wounds, blood dripped onto the ground, and the surrounding trees were scorched by lightning.
Opposite him stood a burly, robust man with wild, unruly dark brown hair that was slightly tousled by a blood-red fighting spirit.
His body was surrounded by crimson flames and pale gold war god patterns. He was wearing tattered black and gold battlefield heavy armor, with menacing shoulder armor covered in thorns and metal straps wrapped around his forearms.
The man had almost no injuries, a stark contrast to Liu Hengdao opposite him...
In the sky, Bi Tianjun, the guardian deity of Liu Hengdao, was fighting against a Western god whose figure was tall and imposing, whose muscles were as solid and domineering as a mountain.
The Western deity had long, wildly flowing dark reddish-gold hair, scarlet golden eyes burning with the intent of war, and was clad in a ferocious black-gold divine armor with thorns growing on his shoulders, surrounded by dark red flames of war.
Who is this guy?
Just as Wang Shengan was wondering what was going on, a familiar voice sounded from behind him, "Xiao An..."
He was stunned. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a scepter sweeping towards him. Although he managed to draw his Demon-Slaying Sword in time, he was still swept away by the enormous force.
"It's you!"
Liu Hengdao recognized Wang Shengan at a glance, and seemed to realize something. He angrily said, "So it was you from the Underworld who wanted to kill me!"
He soon realized he was overthinking things. Wang Shengan watched in disbelief as the woman in front of him gradually transformed into a young man.
The man had short, dark red hair, wore a dark green suit, a black vest, and a silver pocket watch, with an ouroboros-shaped brooch on his collar.
He put away his scepter and looked at the burly man not far away. "Karens, how come this guy is still alive and kicking after fighting for so long?"
“Rock, I’m just a little uncomfortable in this body…”
"You are... from the Holy Covenant Church?"
Most of the Western gods are in the Holy Covenant Church, so it's quite normal for Liu Hengdao to be able to think of these things.
However, these two people's divine status is obviously higher than his own. How come he has never heard of these two people in the Holy Covenant Church?
"You don't need to know that much..."
Rock tightened his grip on his black gloves. "I've already set up a shielding array here. People outside won't be able to sense anything coming from here!"
"With our strength, it's only a matter of time before we take you two down. But God has been merciful and has given you both a chance to live!"
He took out a pocket watch. "You two have a quarter of an hour. If you can kill each other within that time, you can leave alive!"
"You bastard!"
Realizing what was happening, Wang Shengan drew his Ghost-Slaying Sword and slashed at Luo Ke, at which point the guardian deity Zhong Kui appeared.
"Kid, I advise you to consider your own strength before you make a move!"
Karens caught Wang Shengan's sword with one hand and casually tossed him away. "Even that guy behind you, who's at the fourth level of the Immortal Realm, isn't a match for me. What can you do about it?"
"you……"
