"Haha!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Emperor of the Dead laughed wildly as if he had gone mad. His skull crown seemed to be shaking.
Lin Feng didn't know what to answer. Even though he was surrounded by the black Stellar Original Energy and a terrifying aura, he still didn't care. It was true that he had humiliated the Emperor of the Dead in front of everyone and killed his right-hand men. But so what?
What the Emperor of the Dead really cared about was more important.
"Humans are indeed cunning." The Emperor of the Dead's voice was full of disdain and contempt. He looked down arrogantly and said, "You are just an abandoned pawn, a piece of trash that even the Underworld doesn't want. Give me a reason. Why should I take you in?"
It was a blatant show of contempt.
The Emperor of the Dead was indeed narrow-minded. He stepped on others to elevate himself. Lin Feng's eyes were bright as he understood.
Even so, the Emperor of the Dead was not stupid.
"It's simple. Because I am more powerful than the Old Monster Yin Ze." Lin Feng's words were loud and clear.
This short sentence made the Emperor of the Underworld stop laughing.
He looked over with his dark and deep eyes. There was no longer disdain and contempt. Instead, there was a glint of light in his eyes.
"Emperor of the Dead, you have been afraid of the Underworld for a long time. If it is inconvenient for you to do something, I will do it for you." Lin Feng looked at the Emperor of the Dead with his sparkling eyes. "I will take over the position of the Old Monster Yin Ze and become one of the four giants of the Underworld. Everything will come naturally."
"It all depends on … whether you have the courage to take the risk!"
Lin Feng said with certainty. His expression was serious.
His words made the Emperor of the Dead quiet. The skull crown shone brightly as the Emperor of the Dead fell into deep thought.
After a long while …
"Why should I trust you?" The Emperor of the Dead's voice was bone-chilling.
"Trust is as useless as an oath." Lin Feng smiled and looked at the Underworld Emperor. "The reason why I helped the Underworld Emperor was that we shared the same interests. Now that I have found my wife, there is no more interest between us. But it is different from you, Underworld Emperor. You can give me something that the Underworld Emperor cannot."
"Status, power, and strength!" Lin Feng's eyes burned.
"Emperor of the Dead, you were able to recruit a subordinate who is stronger and smarter than Old Monster Yin Ze. You can adapt to the situation. Outsiders will definitely praise you for knowing how to make good use of people. You can also shut Huang Quan's mouth, making him unable to stop or say anything."
"In the future, if I can get rid of Huang Quan, I will become a great figure in the Underworld, second only to one person."
"Since our interests are aligned and our goals are the same, why not?"
With a faint smile, Lin Feng looked at the Underworld Emperor.
At this moment, the latter's aura had already dropped, and his killing intent had already disappeared. Even his enormous aura had receded. The ferocious black armor entered his eyes, but he didn't feel any sense of danger at the moment. The skull crown glowed faintly. The Underworld Emperor suddenly laughed out loud, looking carefree.
"You are very smart, human," the Underworld Emperor praised.
In the blink of an eye, a streak of black light flew over. Lin Feng caught it with his divine hand. It was extremely cold to the bone.
It was an exquisite and translucent command token with a large 'Nether' character inscribed on it. The material it was made of was rather precious and unheard of.
This is …
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
"From today onwards, you, 'Lin Yun', are officially one of the Four Great Leaders of the Underworld. You will succeed Old Monster Yin Ze, but your position is temporarily vacant." The voice sounded faintly. Lin Feng's eyes lit up when he heard it. He held the command token in his hand, but the Underworld Emperor's figure was no longer in front of him. Only the lingering voice remained.
"Remember what you said today, human."
"If you make a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless and turning my back on you."
"Take care of yourself!"
…
The faint voice reverberated around the Emperor Yan's Palace.
The Underworld Emperor had already left, leaving Lin Feng alone. He held the Underworld Command Token in his hand. His eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
…
In the Grand Lotus Garden.
"Hiss!" "What!!" Jin Ji and Shi Zhixin were both shocked, and their eyes widened.
"Brother Lin, you succeeded as one of the Four Great Leaders of the Underworld?" Jin Ji was a little confused. He looked at Lin Feng as if he was looking at a monster.
"Wow, isn't that the same as King of Hell North?" Shi Zhixin's eyes lit up.
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "It's just an empty title. The Underworld Emperor only put me on the stage to compete with the Netherworld. I have no real power." He was already clear about this. Although the Underworld Emperor was the Lord of the Imperial City, he was narrow-minded and could not be a formidable person. Although he had similar interests with him, he still kept a distance.
He wanted to control everything.
This was different from King of Hell North.
In fact, as one of the Four Great City Guards under King of Hell North, his' power 'was already real. King of Hell North once asked him to take over the position of the North Dragon Guard, but he declined. After all, as the Lord of the Southern Region, he still had many things to do.
"The Underworld Emperor is the strongest in the Underworld. Even the Four Great Leaders are controlled by him. If not, why would the Netherworld be racking his brains to pull the Underworld Emperor down?" Qian Lian Huang said indifferently. "Yan Imperial City is different. The Underworld Emperor does not care about worldly affairs. The East, South, West, and North City are independent. Although their positions are the same, their power is very different."
"In terms of power, King of Hell North is even more powerful than the so-called second in the Underworld, the Netherworld Emperor."
"If Lin Feng wants to show off, the North City is far more powerful than the Underworld Emperor."
Qian Lian Huang's voice was clear, and her words hit the bullseye.
Lin Feng heard it and nodded with a smile.
It was better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. In the Underworld Emperor, even if he was one of the Four Great Leaders, he was still the puppet and sword of the Underworld Emperor. He only existed to deal with the Netherworld Emperor. So what if he was the third in the Underworld Emperor? He might not even have the basic freedom.
But in the North City, King of Hell North saw him as a family. This time, he was duty-bound to help.
He would remember this in his heart.
Besides, other than the size of the North City being smaller than the Underworld Emperor, there was nothing different about the North City. Here, he was on equal footing with Li Chan and the other two. If he wanted to, he could totally take up the role of a normal city guard. Even if he rejected it now, King of Hell North would not be dissatisfied.
Most importantly …
"You have been in the North City for so long. Haven't you noticed anything strange?" Lin Feng looked at Jin Ji and Shi Zhixin and smiled.
The two of them looked at each other and instantly racked their brains. However, unlike Qian Lian Huang, Jin Ji and Shi Zhixin still had the temperament of a child. After entering North City, they had run out countless times and were completely unable to settle down.
"Strange …" Shi Zhixin put her hand to her mouth and whispered.
"Brother Lin, there really is something strange." Jin Ji nodded as if he understood.
"Oh right!" Shi Zhixin's watery eyes widened. She quickly shouted, "There are a lot of humans in the North City!"
"Yes, that's right!" Jin Ji clapped his hands and smiled. "There are a lot more humans than in the East City. Even among the neutral races, there are many in human form. Walking in the North City is like walking in the South Region. "
Lin Feng smiled and nodded. "The North City has the bloodline of 'humans'."
Human bloodline?
Jin Ji and Shi Zhixin were confused.
"The Northern Dragon Guardian, the Northern Separation Guardian, and their subordinates all have the blood of humans running through their veins. More or less, some have one-quarter of their blood, some have one-eighth of their blood, and some even have one-half of their blood. They are all closely related to humans. Even the Northern Hades is the same."
"Therefore, the North City is also called the 'City of Humans'."
Lin Feng smiled and explained.
"Wow, it's true." "So that's how it is!" Shi Zhixin and Jin Ji suddenly understood and revealed surprised expressions. Qian Lian Huang smiled slightly. She already knew. She had asked Lin Feng to find King of Hell North in the beginning because they shared the same bloodline. It was much easier to talk to him.
"Then we will continue to stay here?" Jin Ji's eyes lit up.
"Of course. You can stay here for as long as you want." Lin Feng looked at the three of them and smiled. "This will always be your home."
The four of them looked at each other and smiled. There was no need for words.
They would enjoy blessings and endure hardships together.
…
…
The Purple Moon Clan.
At this moment, an emergency meeting was being held.
Although Lin Feng had caused a commotion three days ago and the Purple Moon Clan's vitality was greatly damaged, most of the Sage Kings were only seriously injured. Not many of them had died. For example, the powerful Great Elder, Zi Fengtian, was full of energy after eating the Star Fruit and was roaring continuously.
"We must not tolerate this. We must punish him severely!" Zi Fengtian gritted his teeth and roared.
His hair and beard trembled. When he thought of the humiliation that day and the mysterious death of his grandson, Zi Xuanyu, Zi Fengtian's resentment soared to the sky. He wanted to cut Lin Feng into pieces.
"I agree. We must report this to the Heavenly Spirit as soon as possible and capture this murderer," the Fourth Elder agreed.
"Let's observe for a while longer," the Third Elder said with a frown.
"That's right. I heard that his younger brother, Lin Yun, caused a ruckus in the Netherworld. He was so strong that even Old Monster Yin Ze was beheaded. If we report this to the Heavenly Spirit and capture Lin Feng, I'm afraid that this fiend will be enraged. It's possible that he will slaughter the entire Purple Moon Clan," the Second Elder said in a low voice.
…
"Are we just going to swallow this anger?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that it's not the right time yet."
"Then when is the right time? Are we going to wait until he's nowhere to be seen before we report this to the Heavenly Spirit? We'll lose all our face then! "
"You can't say that. Face is a small matter, but the safety of the clan is more important."
…
They argued endlessly.
Everyone expressed their opinions. The Purple Moon Clan was very lively.
Only the Patriarch, Zi Yuan, rested his chin on his hand. He was in a high position, and his brows were tightly knitted together. Lin Feng's matter was a big problem for him. The First Elder's faction and the Second Elder's faction could be said to be reasonable. It was difficult for him to make a decision in a short period of time.
As the Patriarch, he had to consider the final benefits and not act based on personal feelings.
Reporting to the Heavenly Spirit would allow the clan to vent their anger, but there would be a lot of repercussions. After all, three days ago, Lin Feng's younger brother, Lin Yun, caused a ruckus in the Netherworld and killed Old Monster Yin Ze. If he really reported this to the Heavenly Spirit, who knew if Lin Yun would slaughter the clan for revenge?
The possibility was quite high!
At this moment …
"Hmm?" Zi Yuan's eyes lit up, and his gaze fell on the compass in his left hand.
Pa! He reached out and pressed it. Looking at the message above, Zi Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he took a light breath.
