Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribeâs Old Ancestor Shi Ming was enshrouded in frightening corpse qi, and he kept mum. One could only see two green light spots that were supposedly his eyes through the thick corpse qi, giving others the creeps.
Seeing that Shi Ming had kept mum, Massacring Gods Gateâs Old Ancestor Chu Han couldnât hold back any longer, âBrother Shi Ming, since we can already confirm itâs that kid, I think we should act immediately and resolve this trouble once and for all. Huang Xiaolong, this runt is just too hard to predict and talented. If he is allowed to grow further, we might not be able to kill him even with our strengths.â
Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribeâs Old Ancestor finally spoke in an unhurried manner, âDo you think I donât want to kill that kid as soon as possible? Donât forget that weâre in the Devil World now, and not in Hell!â
Chu Han and Feng Chu both blanked for a second.
âOur identities are already exposed. Our every move is under the local forcesâ scrutiny. The Heavenless Devil Legion has not come looking for us because weâre behaving. If we make a move to kill Huang Xiaolong, the Heavenless Devil Legion would surely swoop down on us!â Shi Mingâs words reverberated in the hall.
Chu Han and Feng Chu frowned after listening to Shi Mingâs explanation.
âWhat are we going to do then? Kill the Heavenless Devil Legion as well? Put aside the fact that weâre no match against them, and even if we could stand against them, it would evoke the entire Devil Worldâs ire. All the Archdevil Ancestors would come chasing at our heels. Do you both think we can fight against the whole Devil World?â Shi Ming continued.
The Heavenless Archdevil Lord had formed the Heavenless Devil Legion in the past. This legion of the army had been guarding the Devil World for ten billion years, even though Heavenless Archdevil Lord had been missing for so long. Thus, the Heavenless Devil Legion remained highly ârespectedâ by the Devil World. Moreover, to a certain degree, the Heavenless Devil Legion maintained order in the Devil World on behalf of the Archdevil Lord.
If they dared to kill a Heavenless Devil Legionâs soldier, the Devil Worldâs various Archdevil experts would not sit still at all.
âThen, are we going to sit back and watch that Huang Xiaolong swagger arrogantly, and let him become more complacent?â Chu Han was unwilling. âHuang Xiaolong went all the way up to the top of the Devil Towerâs ninth floor, and he must have greatly benefited from that. Based on his potential, he would probably step into the Emperor Realm soon.â
âMoreover, there has been a rumor claiming that whoever reaches the top of the Devil Towerâs ninth floor has a high chance of obtaining the two devil steles, and even gather all six great devil steles! If that kid succeeds in gathering all six great devil steles, then no one will be able to suppress him in the whole universe!â
This was the reason Chu Han was so anxious to kill Huang Xiaolong.
If Huang Xiaolong gathers all six devil steles, then he would be...?
The new Archdevil Lord?!
The new Archdevil Lord, on top of being the Lord of Hell. Just thinking of this possibility made Chu Han, Feng Chu, and Shi Mingâs hearts palpitate with an ominous feeling.
âThat... is not possible, is it?â Fiend God Emperor Feng Chu lacked confidence even as he tried to refute it, âHeâs already the Lord of Hell. He cannot be the Devil Worldâs Archdevil Lord too.â
Chu Han sniggered, âThough this has not happened since the beginning of time, who can say itâs impossible? Who made it a rule that the Lord of Hell cannot be the Devil Worldâs Archdevil Lord as well?â
Feng Chu was dumbfounded, unable to refute a word.
âHuang Xiaolong must be killed!â Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribeâs Old Ancestor Shi Ming spoke again. âBut we must wait until he leaves the Eternal Devil City and heads to the Demonic Beasts Empires. As soon as he steps out of the Eternal Devil City, we will kill him! Send people to keep an eye on Huang Xiaolong. At the same time, have people watch the Mara Plains. When the Mara Plainâs miasma thins, that will be the time when Huang Xiaolong will leave the Eternal Devil City.â
âYes, Great Lord.â Fiend God Emperor Feng Chu respectfully complied.
Massacring Gods Gateâs Old Ancestor, Chu Han merely nodded his head in agreement.
âHowever, before that kid leaves the Eternal Devil City, we can send some trouble his way.â Shi Ming said in a vindictive tone.
âBrother Shi Ming intends to...?â Chu Han looked in confusion at Shi Ming. So did Feng Chu.
âHeave people leak Huang Xiaolongâs identity.â Shi Ming sneered.
Chu Han and Feng Chu were surprised, but then both of them laughed as the implications occurred to them.
âBrother Shi Ming, thatâs an excellent idea! Absolutely masterful!â Chu Han laughed wantonly.
While those within the walls of Eternal Devil City were still in a furor over Huang Xiaolongâs achievement in the Devil Tower, another news rose to the surface and stupefied everyone.
âThat black-haired young man who successfully reached the top of Devil Towerâs ninth floor is the champion of Divine Worldâs Battle of the Heavenly Court! The King of Grandmistâs personal disciple Huang Xiaolong!â
âThis Huang Xiaolong is also the new Lord of Hell!â
When this news spread out, the entire Eternal Devil City was in a new and higher wave of the furor, shocking many Archdevil Ancestors. Some were in a daze for a long time, and they were too shocked to utter a sound.
Especially the Hundred Transformation Sectâs Ancestors.
âWhat?! Heâs Huang Xiaolong!" Elder Long was clearly shocked by the news.
Violent Lightning Archdevil, Black Killer Sect Chief, and all allying parties, who had intended to kill Huang Xiaolong, had apprehensive expressions on their faces.
Even Violent Lightning Archdevil, one of the twelve generals of Heavenless Archdevil Lod, was unable to keep calm.
Huang Xiaolongâs reputation was simply too resounding. Everyone was aware of the battle above the Nethersea, where he had slaughtered over a hundred Emperor Realm experts, and even the Nine Yin Giant Corpse Tribeâs Patriarch Shi Wushuang had fled with his tail between his legs.
Moreover, not long ago, Huang Xiaolong had destroyed the Fiend God Emperor Palace that had stood for several billions of years, which used to bring terror to the Devil World with its mere mention!
Huang Xiaolong has also killed the Emperorâs Disciple, who was also Feng Chuâs son. Other than Feng Chu and a small number of Fiend God Emperor Palaceâs Ancestors who had escaped, the rest of them had fallen!
This and many other factors elevated Huang Xiaolongâs invincibility in everyoneâs mind.
Even for someone like Violent Lightning Archdevil, who was used to calling for the wind and summoning rain in the Devil World, and who was also able to direct a great legion army of tens of thousands, did not dare to think of fighting Huang Xiaolong head-on.
âElder Long, what should we do now?â A long time later, Hundred Transformation Sectâs Elder Yi recovered from his shock and asked Elder Long.
Elder Longâs eyes gleamed as he spoke slowly, âWeâll wait for the Old Ancestors and the rest to arrive then decide what to do.â
The rest of the present Hundred Transformation Sectâs Ancestors fell into silence.
Huang-Xiao-long, these three words were akin to a million great chaos mountains pressing down on everyoneâs chest.
At this time, inside the Hundred Transformation Sectâs residenceâs secret chamber, Chen Weijian coughed up a mouthful of blood with a loud âwa.â His face was deathly pale with disbelief as he stared at the Hundred Transformation Sectâs disciple in front of him.
âWhat, he, he is Huang Xiaolong?!â He asked in a quivering voice.
âYes, that is so, Young Lord. The news has spread throughout the entire Eternal Devil City. He he is the King of Grandmistâs personal disciple, and the new Lord of Hell, Huang Xiaolong!â The Hundred Transformation Sectâs disciple affirmed with a fearful expression.
Anyone, hearing of Huang Xiaolongâs name, would feel immense pressure.
Chen Weijian vomited another mouthful of blood.
âYoung Lord, you, are you alright?â The Hundred Transformation Sectâs disciple was terrified by Chen Weijianâs sudden violent condition.
âGet lost, get lost!â Suddenly, Chen Weijian raised his head and shouted at the disciple with a distorted expression.
The Hundred Transformation Sectâs disciple fled the chamber in a fluster.
âHUANG-XIAO-LONG!â Chen Weijian bit each word through gritted teeth.
Not long after Huang Xiaolongâs identity was exposed, another commotion hit the Eternal Devil City.
âHuang Xiaolong is the Lord of Hell! Kill him! He cannot be allowed to become our Devil Worldâs Archdevil Lord!â
âThatâs right. He has gone up to the top of Devil Towerâs ninth floor. If he manages to gather all six devil steles, wouldnât our Devil World have to acknowledge him as our Archdevil Lord? He must not be allowed to gather the six devil steles! Kill Huang Xiaolong!â
