I Am Overlord

Chapter 1798: Ultimate Battle Rune



Chapter 1798: Ultimate Battle Rune

The Ziling Sect was colliding with the devils and aliens. That was quite a heavy accusation. The Ziling Sect was turned into a rat that was detested by all.

Of course, the Ziling Sect did not sit around doing nothing. Song Tiandao, who had followed Xiang Shaoyun on the outside domain battlefield, stepped forth and said, "When the overlord was fighting and killing the devils and aliens outside the dominion, where were all of you? The devils and aliens in the Ziling Sect are merely puppets under the overlord's control."

The Eastern Pass's Song Clan was a powerful organization. With Song Tiandao himself being a young God, his words carried a lot of weight. Additionally, Guangling Palace's first palace lady Ling Ziruo also stepped out and defended Xiang Shaoyun, greatly calming the flames that had been fanned toward the Ziling Sect.

But when the devils sent their envoy to Xiang Shaoyun for the second time, the Ziling Sect found themselves in yet another scandal. The devils had occupied quite a lot of human territory. They would not surrender to the humans, and not even the Guardians Guild was able to do anything effective against them. Why would they visit the Ziling Sect repeatedly?

In fact, this time, the devil delegation consisted of Imperial Nether Clan members. Their representative was Ming Cigeng, who had worked with Xiang Shaoyun before, the same person who had brought Xiang Shaoyun to hunt the Dark Devourer Clan at the seventh layer of Devil Domain.

Once again, the Ziling Sect opened their doors to the devils. However, the person meeting the devils was not Xiang Shaoyun. Rather, it was Xiang Yangzhan. In truth, the devils' two visits were handled by Xiang Yangzhan because they concerned his wife.

The Nether Monarch had requested that Xiang Shaoyun acknowledge his identity as the Imperial Nether Clan's nineteenth prince. The Nether Monarch even promised to make Xiang Shaoyun their clan's heir so long as he agreed. This time, Ming Cigeng had returned with the same goal, hoping to obtain an answer from Xiang Shaoyun.

"If you're really trying to force my son, this old man will just divorce Ming Fu! In any case, she's a devil. We're not suited to be together at all!" said Xiang Yangzhan solemnly.

Of course, anyone could see how little he meant those words. Back when the two met at the Devil Domain, they had braved numerous dangers and hardships together. After being separated for so many years, the two naturally wished to see each other.

If it wasn't for the fact that the devils were too strong, Xiang Yangzhan would have rushed into the Devil Domain to free his wife long ago. Now that the devils were here threatening him and his son, he finally lost his patience.

"Please calm down. I believe the nineteenth prince will be willing to meet the Nether Monarch. He is a filial son," said Ming Cigeng, who was confident in Xiang Shaoyun's character.

Xiang Yangzhan grew even more agitated as he roared, "Scram! My son is in seclusion, and he doesn't have the time to meet you! If you keep staying here, I'll lose control and kill you all!"

"The Nether Monarch said that if the nineteenth prince does not go, he will ensure that you can't meet Ming Fu and will even personally announce the nineteenth prince's identity to the humans. Make your choice," said Ming Cigeng.

Just as Xiang Yangzhan was at a loss, Ye Chaomu appeared. She had gone missing for a long time. Nobody knew where she had gone and what she had done during her disappearance. But when she reappeared, she was already a ninth-stage God.

She could no longer hide the devil rune on her forehead. The rune made her beautiful face look even more sultry and pretty. When Ming Cigeng saw Ye Chaomu, he raised his brow. He could recognize that she was the Undying Devil Clan's princess. He had not expected this princess to grow so quickly. She was already capable of causing him to feel quite a lot of pressure.

"Go tell the Nether Monarch that he better release my mother-in-law or the Undying Devil Clan will not let this rest," declared Ye Chaomu domineeringly. She made no effort to beat around the bush and voiced her request directly.

"Is this the stand of the Undying Devil Clan's master?" asked Ming Cigeng with a frown.

The Undying Devil Clan was the smallest clan of the many devil clans, but they were all incredibly powerful combatants. Because of that, they were no weaker than the Imperial Nether Clan. In fact, if they truly fought, the Imperial Nether Clan might even be at a disadvantage. Thus, Ming Cigeng had to inquire further as to what Ye Chaomu truly meant.

"My words are the equivalent to the words of our patriarch!" said Ye Chaomu.

The battle rune on her forehead pulsed, releasing an indescribable aura.

Ming Cigeng's pupils shrank as he exclaimed, "Undying Devil Clan's ultimate battle rune!"

Different devil bloodlines had different characteristics. The battle rune Ye Chaomu showed was the Undying Devil Clan's high-tier battle rune, one that was several tiers higher than that of a regular Undying Devil Clan member. In short, those with this battle rune would enjoy the highest status in the Undying Devil Clan and could even become the next patriarch.

"If the Imperial Nether Clan is willing to return my mother-in-law, the Undying Devil Clan will be willing to maintain a friendly relation with the Imperial Nether Clan," said Ye Chaomu.

"I can't make the decision," said Ming Cigeng. "It's still better to have the nineteenth prince meet the Nether Monarch. If the Nether Monarch decides to really do something harsh, none of us can stop him. Think it over."

Then, Ming Cigeng left with the other Imperial Nether Clan members. Right after the devils left, Xiang Yangzhan said, "Daughter, without you, I really wouldn't know how to handle those fellows."

Xiang Yangzhan knew that the child he had picked up years ago was a devil, but he did not view her with hostility. Rather, he had taken care of her like she was his own daughter. Furthermore, he could also see that the relationship between his son and his adopted daughter was more than what it seemed.

"Don't worry, Father. I believe that the Nether Monarch will not truly make an enemy out of us for this. He is only trying to force big brother to become the new Nether Monarch," said Ye Chaomu.

"That little bastard has been in seclusion for several years. I wonder what he's doing. The Guardians Guild has basically acknowledged Qin Jiu as the young guild master. If he stays in seclusion, all his prior sacrifices will go to waste," said Xiang Yangzhan with a sigh.

"Don't worry. Big brother knows what to do," said Ye Chaomu. "Father, have our people make preparations. After the Imperial Nether Clan's public visit, some people are going to make a big deal out of this again."

"You're right. I'll have Lingtian pay attention to this. But there are things we can't hide from. Some things can only be solved after your big brother leaves seclusion," said Xiang Yangzhan.

He called Tuoba Lingtian over and reminded his grandson to watch out for what was going to happen. Tuoba Lingtian already had a plan in mind. After conquering the Western Desert, apart from pressuring their subordinate organizations, he had also given them some benefits. In a way, he was using both the carrot and the stick on their subordinate organizations. As a result, their subordinate organizations grew more and more loyal.
