Chapter 978: There Is Strife Wherever There Are People

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The six great underworld halls were led by Ancient Underworld Hall. However, it wasn’t like there was nobody that would challenge Ancient Underworld Hall within the six great underworld halls.

For example, Sky Martial Underworld Hall! As the second power amongst the underworld halls, Sky Martial Underworld Hall had always had objections to Ancient Underworld Hall.

It could even be said that the two sides had fought openly and covertly many times.

Now, Sky Martial Underworld Hall was coming hand in hand with Sky Gold Underworld Hall and Sky Moon Underworld Hall, which brought about a bad feeling.

However, even if Ancient Underworld Hall was displeased, they could only receive the three leaders of the three great underworld halls now that they had come.

The master of Ancient Underworld Hall thought for a moment before saying casually, “Let the three hall masters in.”

Once the Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s instructions were issued, a line of mighty Mysterious Underworld beings walked in. At the front were three individuals with a very imposing demeanor.

Although the auras weren’t the same, each of them emanated an aura that wasn’t in any way inferior to the Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s.

“Ha ha ha... Old friend, you didn’t even come to receive the three of us when we came. Perhaps you think that you are much stronger than us and you underestimate us.”

The Mysterious Underworld being standing in the middle spoke. The Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s face turned black when this was said.

The Grand Deacon immediately spoke. “Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, Sir Sagu is the head of the six great underworld halls. Please watch what you say.”

The personnel at Ancient Underworld Hall would rather die than see their leader humiliated. Even though people had disagreed with the Grand Deacon previously, they were now on the same page as the Grand Deacon.

Therefore, when the Grand Deacon said this, even though no one said anything, they all looked at the Grand Deacon with respect.

“He he... Who are you? Is it even in your capacity to speak here?” The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master cast a sideways glance at the Grand Deacon as he spoke nonchalantly.

As a Yuan Demon close to reaching the Taishi Yuan Venerate level, the Grand Deacon had quite a reputation amongst Yuan Demons.

He even represented Ancient Underworld Hall on many occasions and visited various powers. He had also personally called upon the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master about 100,000 years ago.

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had said this on purpose. His motive was to shame the Ancient Underworld Hall Master.

The Grand Deacon’s eyes burned with anger.

However, even so, he couldn’t do anything. While the Grand Deacon was quite the character in Ancient Underworld Hall, his status was still too inferior compared to Sky Martial Underworld Hall.

If he were to get tangled up with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, the one on the losing end would be him.

While the Grand Deacon was feeling pissed and helpless, the Ancient Underworld Hall Master spoke. “Have you come here just to seek out my Grand Deacon and argue with him? In that case, I can arrange a special place for you all.”

“Ha ha... Are you arguing with him? What for? If I am unhappy, I can kill him right away.” The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master chuckled.

This wasn’t the first time the Grand Deacon was being humiliated. Thus, he calmed down rather than remain pissed.

He stood quietly to the side and acted as if everything had nothing to do with him.

The newcomers from the three halls laughed uninhibitedly. The people from Ancient Underworld Hall all clenched their fists.

They already hated Sky Martial Underworld Hall because of all the various scuffles and fights.

Now, Sky Martial Underworld Hall was actually provoking them in their own hall. This caused the fury in their hearts to reach its peak.

The Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s gaze turned cold as he said, “If you wish to have a match, I am willing to accede at any time.”

A fight between two underworld hall masters would be shocking news to the entire Mysterious Underworld Race.

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master knew that there was some disparity between him and the Ancient Underworld Hall Master. Although he knew this disparity wouldn’t go so far as to cost him his life, such a disparity gave him an unbearable feeling.

He hadn’t come to feel inferior. Thus, he quickly put up his arm after hearing what the Ancient Underworld Hall Master said. “I have come here because I have something to discuss with you, Ancient Underworld Hall Master. I’m not here to fight.”

Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master, who had been silent all this time, also chuckled. “We are all friends. There is no need to make such a ruckus upon meeting.”

“If the two of you were to really fight, I fear that it would cause quite an upheaval for the entire Mysterious Underworld Race. As the head of our six halls, the Ancient Underworld Hall Master must definitely consider the big picture.”

The Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master seemed to be trying to smooth things over. However, upon careful inspection, this seemed like a vague verbal attack. He was implying that the Ancient Underworld Hall Master was short-sighted.

As the chief of the six great halls, the Ancient Underworld Hall Master felt his face turn dark. Although he was itching to kill off the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master, he still put a faint smile on his face.

“The Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master’s words have enlightened me. In the future, I hope the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master will keep his bad temperament in check to avoid offending others and causing problems within the six great underworld halls.”

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master merely smirked but didn’t reply. It seemed as if he felt that every member of Ancient Underworld Hall was beneath him.

The Ancient Underworld Hall Master felt as if he was a one-man show. Although his cultivation base was higher than the cultivation base of these three, he still couldn’t help feeling really sullen when it came to this matter.

If possible, he definitely wouldn’t let things rest with these three.

“Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, why have you all come over?” the Ancient Hall Master asked while forcefully bearing the unpleasant feeling he had.

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master replied, “I wonder if Sagu has seen the requests of countless Mysterious Underworld powerhouses in the Endless Underworld?”

Although Sagu was the Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s name, very few Mysterious Underworld powerhouses called him by this name ever since he had become the Ancient Underworld Hall Master. Most people addressed him by his title, which showed his importance.

However, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had rudely used this name the moment he had come. Thus, many people in Ancient Underworld Hall were furious.

This fellow was really repulsive.

The Ancient Underworld Hall Master said, “What requests? Since when have we cared about the Endless Underworld?”

“He he... As expected from the head of our six halls, you are so high and mighty that ordinary Mysterious Underworld beings can only be ignored,” the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master said sarcastically, “Let me tell you then. Countless martialists in the Endless Underworld are requesting that Nalanye obtains the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s inheritance.”

“If I remember correctly, Nalanye already became a member of Ancient Underworld Hall some time ago. Looks like you have really picked up a cheap bargain this time!”

There was a twinkle in the Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s eyes as he glared icily at the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. “The resurrection of Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord is a huge matter for the entire Mysterious Underworld Race.”

“Our six great halls have already made a decision regarding this. Now, given all the nonsense you are spouting, could you possibly wish to overthrow the decision the six great underworld halls have made?”

“Let me tell you something. If you insist on doing this, I won’t agree and neither will the other underworld halls.”

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master didn’t fear the Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s cold glare. The fact that he could stand there meant that he had come prepared.

Thus, he replied calmly, “I don’t know whether Ancient Underworld Hall will agree, but I know that Sky Martial Underworld Hall, Sky Gold Underworld Hall, and Sky Moon Underworld Hall have agreed.”

“The decision to let Jiuzi Xuanming gain the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s inheritance was made by us. However, at the time, we didn’t have a better choice so we made that decision.”

“Nalanye hadn’t yet risen to prominence then. We still didn’t know that he cultivated the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s God Sky Conversion Technique.”

“However, the inheritance of the Underworld Lord has yet to start so we can amend our previous wrong decision. Therefore, we should let Nalanye get the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord’s inheritance.”

The Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s face darkened when he heard this. He glared icily at the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and said, “Is this a personal grudge? A personal grudge because of your defeat at Jiuzi Xuanming’s hands a long time ago?”

The Sky Martial Underworld Lord looked displeased when this was said. His six eyes burned with rage.

Jiuzi Xuanming had experienced nine lifetimes of cultivation. Each time he had reached the peak of the Heavenly Venerate, he had stopped before entering the Yuan Demon boundary because of flaws.

Now, his cultivation wasn’t beneath an ordinary Taishi Yuan Venerate’s.

During his uprising in his nine lifetimes, he had challenged many people in his bid to temper his martial path. The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, who hadn’t yet become a Yuan Demon back then, was one of the people who had been defeated by Jiuzi Xuanming.

He had actually suffered a miserable defeat.

“Sagu, everything I do is for the sake of the Mysterious Underworld Race. Slandering me this way is vile indeed.”

“I have not come to have a dispute but to inform you of our decision. According to the rules of dealing with matters that the six halls follow, as long as three great underworld halls express doubt over a matter, the decision has to go through a new round of decision-making,” the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master said with resolve.

The Ancient Underworld Hall Master pondered this as he studied the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, who wasn’t giving up. “That isn’t entirely possible. If you recommend Nalanye and we support Jiuzi Xuanming, then we’ll just have to let their strength do the talking.”

“In a month, on the Divine Incarcerate Race’s Wanyu Sacred Mountain, our various alliance partners will search for ancient treasures. Let these two search for treasures and compare the value of the treasures they find.”

“I hope you are all satisfied with this!”
