Chapter 669 - The Kings

Greatlaw Sky, Central Region

It was a small-scaled continent within the central region of the Great Havenlaw with a towering majestic mountain peak. The peak was like a sword as it pierced the clouds, the scene was immensely grand.

This peak was named the Greatlaw Peak, the most critical location in the entire Greatlaw Sky. Not only was it managed by the three Emperors, rumour had it that the mysterious Ruler also resided on this peak.

This was the backbone of the entire Greatlaw Sky or even the whole Great Havenlaw Domain.

Today in this Greatlaw Peak, it was exceptionally bustling, since there were whistles of gales that continually resounded, along with rays of light swiftly crossing from a distance away and landing on this majestic peak.

Today was the Nine Kings Conference that was held every 6 months. Speaking of which, it was also the more important conference in the Great Havenlaw Domain, so there wouldn’t usually be any missing seats.

On the Greatlaw Peak stood a towering palace that was emitting an ancient aura, as if it was left behind from the ancient times. It caused revere to rise in the heart of others.

Before the palace was a myriad stone staircase. Every single ray of light landed beneath those stairs, they did not directly fly up to the highest point; instead, they chose to ascend the stairs respectfully.

At this moment, there was already many figures before the myriad stone staircase. However, the majority of those had their own batch standing together, differentiating their standings.

As long as it was a place with people, there would definitely be competition. These rules hadn’t been changed, and factions were competing amongst themselves in the Greatlaw Sky. Thus, the grudges between the factions were also extremely complicated.

Whoosh!

As this vast platform became filled with people, there were several streaks of light arriving from the distant horizon and landed here.

Everyone shifted their gazes over, and when they saw who it was that came, there was a dense shock in their eyes that spewed out, which was shortly followed by resounding whispers.

“That’s the… Nine Nether King? She has returned?”

“I received the news yesterday, looks like it wasn’t fake. Nine Nether King has disappeared for so many years, rumour has it that she was undergoing her Tribulation. From the looks of it now, she should have succeeded in it.”

“How formidable, to have successfully undergone her Tribulation at her age, shredding spirituality and forming divinity.”

“Looks like there will be a show to watch in the Nine Kings Conference. For all these years, the Nine Nether Palace has been suppressed, headed by the Blood Hawk King. With Nine Nether King’s personality, she would definitely not let it go so easily.”

“In the past, when Nine Nether King had yet to go through her Tribulation, she had the Sky Vulture Emperor supporting her, but she wasn't a threat. But, now that she has undergone her Tribulation, I’m afraid that the matter won’t be so easily left to rest.”

“…”

On the vast platform, whispers of all sorts rang out.

As to those whispers, Nine Nether paid no attention to them as she raised her head, looking at the ancient palace up on the myriad stone staircase. She slightly narrowed her slender eyes.

Mu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou stood behind Nine Nether and did not glance sideways.

Not long after Nine Nether had shown herself, there were whistlings of wind that resounded once again from the horizon. Several figures flew over and had landed on the platform.

Along with those figures appearing, there was a powerful Spiritual Energy pressure that enveloped the surroundings. Those figures were naturally those influential figures.

Mu Chen swept his gaze over and realised that three batches had arrived. The one leading the left batch was a middle-aged man with no expression on his face. He was donned in a black robe, his eyes were dark red in colour, giving others a chill down their spine.

Standing behind that middle-aged man was a slightly younger man. His figure was towering, donned in the azure garment and his brows were as piercing as a sword. He had a rather handsome appearance, along with extraordinary Spiritual Energy ripples fluctuating around him. His bearing was rather calm, except that when he saw a slender silhouette, ripples couldn’t help swinging in his eyes.

“That’s the Asura King, the strongest among the Nine Kings. With time, he might even ascend to the level of the three Emperors.” When Mu Chen saw the two figures, Tang Bing explained from the side in a soft voice.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head with a grave look in his eyes. The feeling that the Asura King gave him was even more powerful and unfathomable than the black-robed old man with Liu Ming.

“As for the person standing behind the Asura King, he is Xu Qing, the head of the Four Great Domain Lords. His strength is rather impressive as well.”

Mu Chen’s gaze moved, shifted onto the man donned in the azure garments. The latter’s gaze was focused onto Nine Nether; looking at it, it seemed that what Tang Rou said before might be the truth. This Xu Qing did have some thoughts on Nine Nether.

However, there wasn’t any response from Nine Nether regarding his pleasantly surprised gaze. Except that when she saw the Asure King when she directed her gaze over, she gave him a slight nod.

Although this Asura King was tough to approach in the Great Havenlaw Domain, in Nine Nether’s view, this Asura King was clearly more scheming than the Blood Hawk King.

When Asura King saw Nine Nether, there was a faint ripple on his face that didn’t have any expression. In the end, he gave her a nod in reply. In the past, Nine Nether was just a brat in his eyes. But her return this time made him feel a little pressure. Looks like she has risen her strength after all these years.

The man standing behind Asura King bitterly smiled when he saw that Nine Nether had not cast him a glance. But the splendour in his eyes grew even more brilliant, as if he had suddenly found his motivation.

Mu Chen shifted his gaze and looked at the second batch. The one leading was a middle-aged man with a robust build. His hands were rather large in size, with veins protruding from them like worms, as if that pair of hands could split the mountains.

“That’s the Mountain Splitting King… he’s also a formidable figure amongst the Nine Kings.” Tang Bing briefly said.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head as his gaze suddenly changed, he saw another robust man that had occasionally drifted his gaze over.

The target of his gaze clearly wasn’t Mu Chen, but the Tang Bing who, with a cold expression, was standing beside him.

“Hehe, that’s the number two of the Four Great Domain Lords, Zhou Yue. He seems to be rather fond of big sister. In the past, he had sneaked into our Nine Nether Palace to peek at big sister. Later on, when it was discovered by a big sister, he was simply chased out with a sword.” Tang Rou secretly laughed as she spoke.

“Looks like your big sister’s charm isn’t small.” Mu Chen was somewhat intrigued. This Zhou Yue clearly had some feelings for Tang Bing, but looking at Tang Bing, she didn’t seem to care about him that much.

Tang Bing frowned her brows as she cast a glance at Mu Chen. The latter was smiling at her, which led her to turn her head with indignance. She realised that Mu Chen’s skin was rather thick, even when she glared at him, he didn’t feel that he did something wrong.

“Haha, isn’t it Nine Nether? I never thought that you would really return, it’s a joyous occasion indeed.”

Just as Mu Chen was looking at the Asura King, laughter that made others feel cold suddenly rang out as Mu Chen saw another batch approach.

Many people have also directed their gazes over.

The one leading was a middle-aged man with scarlet hair, his gaze was sharp and eerie. As if he was a hawk eyeing his prey and was prepared to unleash a fatal attack at any moment.

Right now, he was smiling as he looked at Nine Nether. As his scarlet hair fluttered along the wind, there was a bloody stench coming from it.

There wasn’t a need for Tang Bing to introduce him this time, since Mu Chen had already known that the one that came was naturally the Blood Hawk King that didn’t have a good relation with Nine Nether.

Tang Bing and Tang Rou next to him were staring at the man dressed in white that was standing behind the Blood Hawk King with anger. That man didn’t look handsome, and his face was somewhat stiff when his gaze flickered and did not dare to look at Nine Nether.

Looking at this scene, Mu Chen had already figured out that he must be Cao Feng, who had left the Nine Nether Palace…

Another man was standing beside Cao Feng, he was smiling with eyes spewing flames while looking at the sisters with dense desire in the depth of his eyes. Shortly after, he licked his lips. Judging from the looks of it, it's as if he wished to devour the two sisters into his stomach.

This person should be the third among the Four Great Domains Lords, Wu Tian…

Nine Nether did not pay any attention to the Blood Hawk King, her gaze bypassed him and glanced at Cao Feng, who stood behind the Blood Hawk King with an indifferent expression.

“Haha, Cao Feng, aren’t you neglecting to greet your old master?” Blood Hawk King crossed his ten fingers as he casually smiled.

Only then, did Cao Feng raise his head and let out a stiff smile. “Cao Feng greets Lord Nine Nether.”

Nine Nether looked at him as her gaze gradually calmed down. There wasn’t much disappointment in her eyes, although she felt a little hurt when she heard the news yesterday. When she met him again, the feeling felt like he was a stranger. She only somewhat felt pity that the youth that she had rescued from the battlefield back then had gradually turned bad.

It seems like not everyone could maintain their warmth and smile on the path of becoming a supreme expert like the youth beside her, who was full of stubbornness deep down to his bones and maintained his heart.

Cao Feng looked at Nine Nether’s gradually calming gaze and sensed the gaze of a stranger that she was directing at him. His hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly together as he lightly hung his head, his face was a little distorted with darkness.

He didn’t like Nine Nether being so calm towards his betrayal.

Nine Nether retracted her gaze as she looked at the Blood Hawk King. A chill gradually converged in her eyes as she turned around, walking towards the palace as her cold voice instantly decreased the surrounding temperature.

“Blood Hawk, be prepared to spit out whatever you have taken from my Nine Nether Palace.”
