"You said you're Hades, the Netherworld King." When everyone heard Ye Shikai introduce himself, they looked at each other in disbelief. It was said that the mighty and renowned Netherworld King was from Huaxia, but this was Huaxia's territory. There were too many Huaxia people here, and if someone dared impersonate him, it would be difficult to tell them apart. The Netherworld King's whereabouts were mysterious, and rumored to those who've met him were mostly dead. Clearly, none of these people had truly seen the Netherworld King's true face.
However, if it really was the Netherworld King, then committing crimes against him would be akin to a god-slaying crime, and there'd be no chance to plead for mercy.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
"You say you're the Netherworld King, do you have any proof?" one person questioned. Before he finished speaking, a large hand clamped onto his neck like iron pincers, slowly lifting him up, making breathing difficult.
It was Ye Shikai who made the move.
"This is the proof." Ye Shikai expressionlessly tossed the man aside like garbage, the others showing fear. This terrifying speed and explosive power, even if he weren't the Netherworld King, would be enough to kill them.
"My lord, spare us; it was our lack of perception." One person immediately knelt on one knee, showing submission to Ye Shikai. Seeing this, the others followed suit and knelt down.
"This is the Netherworld King's badge, carried by each successive Netherworld King." Ye Shikai took out a shining badge from the Storage Ring and waved it in front of everyone.
"Yes, it was all our fault. Please forgive us, Netherworld King. We are willing to pledge allegiance to the Netherworld Palace. Please accept us." the people said.
"Alright, since that's the case, get in the car, someone who can drive, be my chauffeur," Ye Shikai thought. After all, being alone now, recruiting some followers wasn't a bad choice. At least, there'd be someone to help drive, and someone who could use the guns, practically making them a group of 'armed militants'.
"Sir, please rest in the back; we'll guard you." These people carried weapons, and each was a cultivator, but at a shallow level, just beginners. They came to Bai Qi's relic hoping to get lucky and find artifacts, then 'rise to fame'.
"Alright, stop when you see anyone." Ye Shikai said calmly, gently closing his eyes.
"Sir, why have you come here alone?" someone asked curiously.
"Had an accident, I got separated from the Hidden Guards, now I need to find them." Ye Shikai said calmly.
"Sir, people ahead!" At this moment, the vehicle suddenly stopped. In front of the SUV, no less than fifty to sixty people blocked the road.
"We vow to protect the lord to the death." one shouted loudly, only for Ye Shikai to push away his head.
"Protect my head; I need you to protect me more." Ye Shikai directly got out of the car, utterly surprised to see Ji Qian and her Moon Guards amidst the crowd.
"Qian," Ye Shikai shouted loudly, simultaneously, Ji Qian recognized Ye Shikai, rushing over to embrace him. This scene made Tang Nie feel like his heart was galloping with horses; he had originally wanted to try to 'develop a relationship' with Ji Qian, but Ji Qian had directly embraced this stranger man, looking mutual and willing.
What kind of person was this? Tang Nie instinctively felt hostility toward Ye Shikai.
"Isn't this Lord Moon God?"
"Yes, I recognize her; indeed it is Lord Moon God."
"So that means he truly is the Netherworld King."
"Lucky we didn't make a move; otherwise, we'd be finished." The people from the Underworld behind relished, feeling like they had just evaded Death God's scythe, surviving a great disaster, never thinking they'd encounter two Main Gods here.
"I'm so glad I finally found you." If not for so many people being present, Ye Shikai would have kissed Ji Qian. What the Sword Soul casually mentioned turned out to be true; this path really led to Ji Qian's.
Ji Qian was speechless with excitement; it was like finding a glimmer through the dark, finding Ji Qian left Ye Shikai deeply gratified. In such a vast relic, the chance of meeting was miserably low; perhaps it was heaven's mercy.
Ye Shikai only wanted to hold Ji Qian's hand and never let go...
"Who is this person?" Tang Nie said coldly, already carrying a hint of killing intent, watching Ye Shikai and Ji Qian intimately, his long-standing aristocratic pride was shattered.
"This is Ye Shikai, also famously known abroad as the Netherworld King." Wang Qian said from the side, apparently achieving her goal, Ye Shikai's appearance had clearly sparked Tang Nie's war flame.
"No wonder there are so many foreigners with him, so that's why." Tang Nie glanced at those people and coldly said, "Guards, follow me."
"Who are these people?" Ye Shikai sensed the killing intent from Tang Nie, and looking again, he saw Wang Qian was here, no wonder, that woman was surely stirring trouble again. To his surprise, Wuyan was also here; that was odd; she was not one to sit quietly. But with Wuyan around, should a fight break out, Ye Shikai felt more assured.
"No idea, who might you be?" Ye Shikai coughed twice disdainfully at Tang Nie, his aura not to be overshadowed.
"Second Young Master of the Tang Family, Tang Nie."
"I heard you were the Netherworld King." Tang Nie continued, "This is Huaxia's relic; foreigners cannot act wantonly here."
"Tang Nie, what are you planning?" Ji Qian glared coldly; she was not a weak woman. On the contrary, in battle, it would be apt to describe Ji Qian as 'unyielding iron bones.' She also knew Tang Nie was concerned about her, knowing that with this connection, Tang Nie wouldn't clash with Ye Shikai in front of her.
"Don't forget, I am also the Moon God. If you want to make a move, face me first." Ji Qian wielded her gleaming Magic Wand, confronting Tang Nie. This made the 'prince' furious, his beloved woman actually siding with another man against him; at this point, he even wanted to kill Ye Shikai.
"But you're now Ji Family's eldest daughter, we should join forces to kill this foreigner."
"Qian, stay behind me." Ye Shikai was never a pushover; he had just met Tang Can, who was no good either, so he would start with this Second Young Master Tang.
"Looks like you want to fight, don't you?" Ye Shikai drew a metal sword; he had disciplined many spoiled rich kids like these.
"Don't act rashly; the Tang Family is dominant here. If it's avoidable, don't resort to violence." Ji Qian gently held his arm; she didn't want Ye Shikai to act impulsively and regret it.
"Doesn't matter, I'll teach their entire family a lesson sooner or later, starting with Tang Nie."
