The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

19. Colluding with Each Other

The color of the fire defined the level of the fire. From the lowest level to the highest level were respectively orange, yellow, red, scarlet, and purple. The fire of the higher level possessed the stronger power.

As everyone knew, the Demon Beast which could spew the red fire was definitely a high-level Demon Beast. The Demon Beasts which spewed the orange or the yellow fire were in the low level. As for the purple and scarlet fire, only the Sacred Beasts of the Mythical Beasts in the legends could possess the fire of those colors.

It was known to all that only a Totem Sacred Lord could own a legendary Sacred Beast which could blow a cloud and spew the purple flames originated from the Soul Fire. The power of the purple flames was formidable. However, it had been quite a long since the Totem Sacred Lord showed up last time. Hence, the Demon Beasts of the highest level that everyone was able to see were the ones that could spew red flames.

Due to the rarity of the high-level Demon Beasts, normally the people who could have a high-level Demon Beast were either the nobles or really lucky enough to sign a contract with the high-level Demon Beasts.

But a boy who didn't even have a servant had a high-level Demon Beast. Moreover, that Demon Beast happened to be the Hairless Chicken that they had just mocked. That was very terrifying. After a long while of silence, someone shouted all of a sudden.

"Gosh, that is a high-level Demon Beast with Fire Damage."

"Alas, I can't believe this Hairless Chicken would be a precious high-level Demon Beast. What has happened to this world?"

"Hairless Chicken? High-level Demon Beast! Somebody, please punch me in the face."

"..."

The people in the crowd kept exclaiming, finding the truth hard to swallow. Someone screamed so loudly that the nether people who had sneered at the boy and the Hairless Chicken all showed gloomy faces, unwilling to believe what had just happened.

Would a boy with inexpensive clothes who had a high-level Demon Beast be an ordinary person? Even an intelligent girl like Dongfang Ling'er had been misled by the first impression she had for the boy, so it was reasonable for others to be tricked by the boy's appearance.

However, having a high-level Demon Beast wouldn't change the fact that the boy was from an inferior race.

The appearance was everything. After a while, most of the people recovered from the shock. Then they started to assume that the boy should be a noble of his inferior race and had happened to acquire this Demon Beast that could cause Fire Damage. Even so, the boy had still offended the noble nether people and would definitely be fiercely punished!

"What happened?"

A vigorous and clear voice came through from outside the crowd. A man in a black robe squeezed into the crowd with a guard who wore golden armor beside him. After the man in black fixed his eyes on Dongfang Ling'er, he showed a joyful look on his face and walked toward her right away. Then he bowed to her reverently.

"My lady, what can I do for you?"

"You have arrived right on time. Please catch this boy for me. Not only has he insulted the nether people, but he also hurt two of my friends. I can not let him get away with this! Please be careful. The chicken next to him is a high-level Demon Beast which could cause Fire Damage and spew red Soul Fire!" Dongfang Ling'er stared at the boy coldly and her voice was so deep that hardly anyone could guess the real meaning.

The man in the black robe was Yang Ming, the leader of the Green Nether Guard Group which belonged to the guard groups in the Rest Night City. He who had seen lots of schemes and plots already figured out that Dongfang Ling'er only told a one-sided story. However, he was well aware of Dongfang Ling'er's identity. The daughter of the Prime Flamen was too exalted for him to offend.

If Dongfang Ling'er wanted Yang Ming to vanish in this world, he would never have run away with that even if he escaped to the end of the world. So, even though he knew that the boy might be innocent, he still followed Dongfang Ling'er's order.

Now was a great chance for Yang Ming to make a hit. He didn't want to leave any regret!

The boy had wandered in all the streets in the Heaven Phoenix Kingdom all the time in his previous life, so he knew the dark side of people more or less. Hearing Dongfang Ling'er and Yang Ming's conversation, he understood right away that the two people had already colluded with each other. Even if he brought out the facts, they still wouldn't let him go. However, the boy knew his leader would help him. Then he patted on the Hairless Chicken and said boldly.

"Hairless Chicken, show them no mercy! Let's see who will become hairless!"

Even if the boy said nothing, Hairless Chicken didn't intend to let go of these people. Anyone except its master who called it 'Hairless Chicken' would never be forgiven by the chicken. Even though Dongfang Ling'er was the daughter of the Prime Flamen, as long as she and those people hurt the boy, the chicken believed that the King who lived in the Heaven Palace wouldn't sit by and do nothing. It was not clear who would suffer!

Dongfang Ling'er and Yang Ming didn't know that the reason why Hairless Chicken could be so fearless was that it had the most powerful people in the Three Worlds to back it up. It was so sad that those poor nether people still didn't know about that, otherwise, they would surely be scared to death.

"You, take them back for interrogation!"

Yang Ming was the leader of the Green Nether Guards because of his remarkable power. Although Hairless Chicken was a high-level Demon Beast, Yang Ming still detected that this creature hadn't fully evolved with a grade between second to fifth. Thus he was confident that he could defeat Hairless Chicken easily. However, as a leader, he only needed to give commands to the guard who had come with him.

As the guard who wore the golden armor got close to the boy and the chicken, Hairless Chicken roared at the sky. A red fireball appeared in its mouth...
