The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

22. The Intimidation from King of the Netherworld

That pressure startled all the powerful dukes in the Rest Night City, including Dongfang Ao, the Prime Flamen who was staying in the Flamen Palace now.

Ever since the Netherworld was created, the great King of the Netherworld had only shown up once, and that was one hundred million years ago when he was enraged because of the war among the Three Worlds. However, this time the threatening large pressure straight burst out from the Heaven Peak Palace.

Everyone started to guess the intention of the King.

However, they would never know that the King of the Netherworld did that only for a human who had died not long ago. Anyone that knew about the truth would be shocked to death.

Everything in the world seemed to be frozen. The Conquer Demon Sabre also stopped at a place very close to the boy.

Yang Ming couldn't hide the fear and shock inside of him anymore. The Sabre in his hand was like a huge rock that was too heavy for him to move a bit. Worse still, right now he was not in the mood of focusing on the Conquer Demon Sabre. He only found himself frozen by a kind of mystical power. The feeling of fear and shock gave him chills from head to toe.

He would never forget the feeling which was brought by the power. He still remembered that when he was promoted to the leader of the Green Nether Guards thousands of years ago, he had been blessed by the exalted King of the Netherworld.

At that time, he felt that the power of King of the Netherworld was soft and plain like water and it only gave him warmness.

But now, he only felt cold pressure.

Yang Ming fell onto the ground with a pale face. He, nearly frightened to death, had no guts to think what would happen next.

Dongfang Ling'er also got limp on the ground with the same fearful face. Ever since that pressure appeared, she felt vague that something mysterious was staring at her with cold eyes. Then, Dongfang Ling'er, as scared as she was, couldn't even hold the Demon Beast Egg which she had just robbed from the boy. The Egg then rolled to the boy's feet.

Due to the pressure from the King of the Netherworld, everyone couldn't help prostrating themselves on the ground while worshipping the Heaven Peak Palace on bent knees devoutly.

The two guards who had seized the boy also knelt down tremblingly.

The boy, unaware of the sudden freedom, flopped down all of a sudden, which made his face twist with pain.

After he massaged his butt, he stood up and put the Demon Beast Egg back in his arms. It had been very difficult for him to steal that Egg from the Palace. If he lost it instead of trading it for money, he would be doomed. He couldn't let himself lose more than gain.

The pressure from King of the Netherworld only aimed at particular targets. Therefore, the boy didn't have any feeling of fear at all.

After he got his Demon Beast Egg back, he found everyone around him acting weirdly. Dongfang Ling'er and Yang Ming who had just behaved extremely arrogantly were kneeling in front of him menially.

What was happening now?

The boy giggled and then flushed right away. Having glanced at the people all around him at a loss, he finally talked to the two people in front of him, "Actually, you two only need to apologize to me if you realize your mistakes. You don't need to kneel. I'm not an unreasonable person. Although one of you has slapped on my face and the other almost killed me, I am still fine now. So I'll consider forgiving the two of you as long as you two apologize!"

Hearing the boy's sincere words, Dongfang Ling'er almost bit her tongue off. She was really going mad.

'You think I want to kneel to you? The pressure from that strange power is keeping me from standing up and raising my head. If it were not for this, I would have slapped you again! Just shut the hell up!' Dongfang Ling'er cried inwardly.

After the boy saw Dongfang Ling'er and Yang Ming having no reaction to his words, he assumed that they didn't believe what he had said. Then he decided to make a generous gesture by saying, "You truly are very annoying, but I can still forgive you if you can admit your mistake and correct it. Also, if you can give the most precious thing of you to me as an apology, I will force myself to forgive you. How does that sound?"

Dongfang Ling'er burst into anger after hearing that. Her pretty face was completely twisted, looking ferocious and scary. With an evil look flashing in her eyes, she suddenly slightly moved her right hand which was put on the ground. There was a silver needle on which she had applied poison in her sleeves. While everyone else wasn't noticing, she shot the poisonous needle straight to the boy, and there was a flash of silver light in the air.

The toxicity of the poison was only lower than the Heaven Five Death, so even a powerful cultivator was not able to resist that poison.

The boy who was waiting for an answer didn't realize he was already in danger. However, suddenly he was dragged into someone's wide arms. An indifferent voice rang by his ears,

"It's been an hour."

Everyone was astonished by the appearance of King of the Netherworld!

Those noble nether people who had insulted the boy all got their faces deadly pale, feeling that they were destined to die.

"My leader, you arrived right on time! But I have already got them under control. See, they are so afraid of me that they don't even dare to stand up!" The boy laughed loudly with his arms on his hips complacently, totally ignoring what the real situation was.

The indifferent face of the King got softened a bit after he heard that. Then he fixed his eyes on Dongfang Ling'er whose face was full of pain. Then the King raised his hand gently. As he was about to attack the girl with his great Spiritual Power, he heard an anxious voice coming through from far away, "Your Majesty, please show some mercy!"
