The Demon God King's son-in-law
CHAPTER 288 | News from the Clan King of the Underworld
After feeling that Fang Ma's heart was starting to improve, Shen Long then bid his farewell to him to continue their journey to the Gates of Hell. Not to forget he gave some provisions to Fang Ma on his way.
“Nona Fang, be careful on your journey. When in trouble, do not hesitate to ask for help from my Sword of Hope sect. Just tell them my name is Shen Long,” Shen Long said before leaving.
“Secte Sword of Hope? Is this sect actually good or evil?” Doubts arose within Fang Ma at the Sword of Hope sect. Seeing the demeanor and words of Shen Long, Fang Ma felt that not all of the people of the Sword of Hope sect were evil. Fang Ma then continues his journey to the city of Mushen to start his own adventure.
Meanwhile Shen Long with Che Ti had arrived at the Hell Gate formation area. “What exactly happened in the Hell Realm?” inner Shen Long. He looked around, then he saw someone coming towards them.
“Zhou Ti!” Che Ti suddenly shouted in surprise at Zhou Ti's arrival approaching them.
“Twin god Che Ti!” Zhou Ti's face was aghast at Che Ti who had come with someone beside him.
Zhou Ti did not expect himself to meet Che Ti at that place. It made him feel a little relieved after his fight with Zen Luo which caused still a slight wound to remain within his body.
“Che Ti, give her recovery medicine,” said Shen Long who saw Zhou Ti's injured condition.
“Good Your Majesty,” Che Ti said following Shen Long's orders.
Zhou Ti's eyes twitched hearing that, even though he received the recovery pill and took it but he retreated realizing Che Ti had turned to that person. “Che Ti, what are you doing? Who is that guy. Why do you follow his orders.” Zhou Ti did not expect in his group the twin gods would defect following the orders of others.
“Cure your wounds first. I'll tell you,” said Che Ti. Hearing Che Ti's words, Zhou Ti then sat down cross-legged to purify the recovery medicinal pill given by him. Then after feeling his internal injuries recover, he listened to Che Ti's explanation of Shen Long's.
“What? This person was so strong that he could kill the ancient god Liang Ti, his inner”. Zhou Ti's eyes glared in disbelief as he looked at Shen Long's body which seemed like an ordinary human. “He is only a human, how can defeat the gods?” inner again.
“Zhou Ti, tell me what really happened in the Hell Realm? Why did Shang Ti ask you to guard this Gate of Hell?” Shen Long asked her.
Zhou Ti's eyes twitched at the question from Shen Long, as a subordinate he never asked the intent of his commanding officer Shang Ti. He was only doing what he was told to do like the other ancient gods.
“Your Majesty, I'm sure Zhou Ti ama is like me. We never asked Shang Ti for the task that she ordered us. We just run it,” Che Ti replied to Shen Long's question.
Shen Long shook his head hearing Che Ti's reply to him. He found it useless to ask the other ancient gods. He should ask Shang Ti directly.
“Where is Shang Ti?” ask Shen Long then
Shen Long pondered at what he should do at this moment. While contemplating suddenly he saw some people coming closer to them. Shen Long narrowed his eyes looking towards the east. Three people were flying to their place.
After getting close enough, Shen Long was surprised to see Shan Lang coming with Water Demon King Shui Ni with Metal Dragon King Jin Long. “Your Highness” Shouted them simultaneously while kneeling in salute to Shen Long.
Zhou Ti's eyes twitched at that. “Even the clans of the underworld call him His Majesty. Who is this guy?” zhou Ti murmured in his heart.
“What happened? How did you know I was here?” Ask Shen Long
“Your Highness, while gathering the clan friends from the underworld, we then went to the Eternal Mountain according to His Majesty's orders. Then He Ti informed him of His Majesty's whereabouts here,” Shan Lang said.
“Your Highness, there has been a big one in the underworld. Please Your Majesty save the people of the lower world clan,” Metal Dragon King Jin Long prostrated pleading for Shen Long's help.
“Jin Long, wake up. Tell me what happened,” Shen Long said.
Jin Long later recounted since Shang Ti's arrival to the underworld and seized power in the underworld by killing Water Dragon King Shui Long. Shang Ti then resurrected 12 of his friends to the ancient gods.6 Ancient gods were sent to the human world while the other 6 were in the underworld.
“The ancient gods who were in the underworld acted arbitrarily to kill and treat us like their slaves. Many left the underworld to hide in this human world. So that the portal of the underworld to the human world is closed by them.” sahut Metal Dragon King Jin Long.
“True Your Majesty, even we who were in the human world before did not escape the pursuit assigned to the twin god He Ti can Che Ti who has now followed you,” added Demon King Air Shui Ni.
“Your Highness, 6 people ancient gods in the underworld are different from us 6 ancient gods sent to the human world. Their strength and status were closer to Shang Ti. We are ancient gods with low status in their eyes,” Che Ti said later while bowing his head.
Zhou Ti nodded his head as Shen Long looked towards him. Zhou Ti was one of the two ancient female gods in the group of 13. Of the 13 ancient gods, Zhou Ti was more heartless than the others. He never wanted to kill anyone else even though he was assigned to it. As much as possible he avoids murder unless circumstances force him to do so.
With Shen Long's experience all along, little did he already get to read people's characters. He knew Zhou Ti had a good ancient god foundation, which was why he had Che Ti give him recovery medicinal pills to treat his injuries.
Hearing the news from the Kings of the clans of the underworld, not only did Shen Long shock, but Che Ti and Zhou Ti were also shocked to hear it. They never asked about the task given by Shang Ti, but they did not expect that they were actually the antagonists in this Loka.
Shen Long finally decided to go to the underworld first freeing his people from the arbitrariness of the ancient gods who were there. “Let's go to the underworld.”
