Chapter 1089: Blood Oath
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On a nameless mountain, the Ancient Underworld Hall Master was quietly waiting for something, but a hint of an imperceptible smile could be seen on his face.
Ancient Underworld Hall had not managed to gain any advantages over the years by battling against Sky Martial Underworld Hall. Although they weren’t considered to be at a disadvantage, it was also undoubtedly impossible to make Sky Martial Underworld Hall submit to them.
As the Ancient Underworld Hall Master felt pity for his subordinates who had died in the war and was fuming in rage at the Sky Martial Hall Master, who he was totally helpless against, he was overjoyed by the decree issued by the First Yuan Underworld Lord.
Nothing would be a problem anymore thanks to the decree of the First Yuan Underworld Lord.
The Ancient Underworld Hall Master believed that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master would surely give in this time. However, the warning the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master had given him before he’d arrived made him feel a little unhappy.
It was necessary to give some power to the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. This was what the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master had said. He had to do so if he did not want Sky Martial Underworld Hall to split up.
Although the Ancient Underworld Hall Master knew that what the Sky Intellect Hall Master had said was correct, he still wasn’t very happy to hear it.
After all, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had caused them heavy losses.
Plus, geniuses like Jiuxi Xuanming and the Golden Mysterious Lord had lost their lives in the hands of Sky Martial Underworld Hall.
Although the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master felt that this matter should be forgotten, how could the Ancient Underworld Hall Master forget such a painful ordeal that had been deeply etched in his mind?
Killing Nalanye was impossible, but no matter what, he had to make evil Nalanye pay the right price for his vile deeds.
When the Ancient Underworld Hall Master secretly made a decision, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
What was happening? Could the Human Race’s Tianding Realm really have dared to attack the Mysterious Underworld Race? If that were the case, then it would be necessary to ask all the elders in Underworld Burial Earth to deal with the Human Race...
As thoughts like this crept into the mind of the Ancient Underworld Hall Master, the void suddenly turned blood-red and a massive star appeared.
The star was dyed blood-red and it fell forcefully from the sky.
“The Sky Martial Underworld Star! This is the Sky Martial Underworld Star!” The Ancient Underworld Hall Master recognized the star immediately with a glance.
The Sky Martial Underworld Star represented the star of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. The fact that it was soaked in blood meant that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had fallen.
The Ancient Underworld Hall Master had been dreaming of this scene forever and had been eagerly looking forward to it. He’d even wished that he could shatter the Sky Martial Underworld Star personally.
However, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was dead right now!
Unfortunately, he was not feeling delighted at all. Instead, he felt shocked and fearful!
How could the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master die right now? Although the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s cultivation wasn’t stronger than his own, it wasn’t much weaker either!
This was also the main reason the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master could challenge his position. However, this person, who could make the whole world look at him askance, had unexpectedly died right in front of the Ancient Underworld Hall Master!
This was impossible! He couldn’t possibly have killed the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. It was impossible for the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master or the Sky Sun Underworld Hall Master to do so either. There was absolutely no chance that the Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master and the Sky Moon Hall Underworld Master would kill the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master either.
However, who could it be if it wasn’t them? Who could have killed the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master?
Just as the Ancient Underworld Hall Master was contemplating this to himself, the communication device in his hand rang and the face of the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master appeared in front of him.
“Sagu, tell me! Did you do it?” The relationship between the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master and the Ancient Underworld Hall Master wasn’t ordinary.
The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master showed great respect for the Ancient Underworld Hall Master most of the time. Calling him by his name directly was almost unprecedented.
The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master’s rage was evident through his abnormal behavior.
The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master was actually suspicious of the Ancient Underworld Hall Master!
Although this made the Ancient Underworld Hall Master very unhappy, he cleared his thoughts immediately. After all, he knew that it was definitely not the time to be angry.
He would benefit the most from this unprecedented situation, so it was very reasonable for the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master to be suspicious of him.
“Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, I had nothing to do with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s death. I find it inconceivable as well. I’m not stupid. How could I ambush the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master at such a time?”
The Ancient Underworld Hall Master tried to calm himself down quickly before speaking sadly.
The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master stared closely at the Ancient Underworld Hall Master for a full minute before looking away.
“Sagu, I don’t think you would be so stupid either, but this has already happened. What we have to do is deal with the consequences.”
The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master’s tone was very sullen, as it was obvious that he also felt very helpless about what would happen next.
After all, no ordinary person had died. This was the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, the number one person that could rival Ancient Underworld Hall.
His death was not only going to make Sky Martial Underworld Hall panic, but also Sky Moon Underworld Hall and Sky Gold Underworld Hall.
The ceasefire this time had been accepted because the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and the rest could not disobey the decree of the First Yuan Underworld Lord.
However, due to the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s death, Sky Martial Underworld Hall would have a basis to reject any peace talks. Even the First Yuan Underworld Lord would not necessarily be able to suppress their anger.
“Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, what do you think we should do now?” The Ancient Underworld Hall Master knew that it was useless to say anything now, as the main problem was solving this matter.
After all, the ceasefire had just started. It would be disastrous if Sky Martial Underworld Hall pinned the blame on him and Ancient Underworld Hall.
The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master hesitated for a moment before replying, “There’s no right solution. We can only show enough sincerity to convince Sky Martial Underworld Hall that we did not do this.”
The words of the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master were rhetoric. It would be too easy if Sky Martial Underworld Hall believed their words just because they were sincere.
However, as far as he was concerned, there was no other solution.
“Sagu, I didn’t expect you to be such a person.” The Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master’s figure appeared in the communication device with grim, murderous intent in his eyes.
The relationship between the Sky Metal Underworld Hall Master and the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was also extraordinary. Furthermore, the death of his friend naturally made him resent the Ancient Underworld Hall Master.
When was the last time the Ancient Underworld Hall Master had been chided by someone so harshly? However, he knew he had to exercise restraint now.
It would be even harder to erase any suspicion about him if he did not exercise restraint, as everyone would mistakenly think that he had really done it thanks to all the rumors and clamor going on.
“Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master, believe it or not, I, Sagu, would never do such a thing. I would definitely never violate the decree of the First Yuan Underworld Lord.”
Although the Ancient Underworld Hall Master tried his best to appear sincere, his explanation was regarded as complete sarcasm by the Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master.
“It’s because the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master believed in you so much that he dared to meet you alone. You want me to believe you? Fine, bring me the person who killed the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master then!”
“I will definitely find this murderer, tear him into 10,000 pieces, and plant him on my head. I will make him regret coming to this world,” the Ancient Underworld Hall Master said tyrannically.
The supreme figures of the Ancient Underworld Hall Master, the Sky Sun Underworld Hall Master, and the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master also connected to the Ancient Underworld Hall Master’s communication device shortly. Obviously, all of them also suspected that the Ancient Underworld Hall Master had done it.
In their opinion, there was only one person in the world that could assassinate the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and that was the Ancient Underworld Hall Master. Although the Ancient Underworld Hall Master tried again and again to prove his innocence, he still felt extremely frustrated.
Although he wasn’t the one who had done it, he was forced to shoulder the blame. Furthermore, he could not be angry. He had to put on a smile to face all the accusations.
Just as the Ancient Underworld Hall Master felt that he was about to explode, a voice began to reverberate frantically in the void. The voice sounded desolate but determined.
“I, Nalanye, will definitely avenge the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. I will make Ancient Underworld Hall pay the price in blood. I, Nalanye, will enter the samsara forever if I do not destroy Ancient Underworld Hall!”
An endless shower of bloody rain ensued after the voice faded. The Ancient Underworld Hall Master felt extremely uncomfortable as the blood rain pelted him.
Nalanye had actually taken a blood oath. This oath meant that Nalanye and Sky Martial Underworld Hall would fight to their last gasp against Ancient Underworld Hall.
It could even be said that only one of the two could exist.
This meant that the responsibility for the death of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was pushed on Ancient Underworld Hall and the Ancient Underworld Hall Master after Nalanye took this blood oath.
The battle between the six underworld halls of the Mysterious Underworld Race would continue. Although the other party no longer had the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and seemed to be at a disadvantage, the Ancient Underworld Hall Master knew that his side wasn’t in a much better situation.
Furthermore, due to the doubts of the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master and the Sky Sun Underworld Hall Master, the strength invested by the two underworld halls would weaken a lot.
“Nalanye, I didn’t kill the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master!” Although the Ancient Underworld Hall Master knew that it was useless, he still shouted out in response.
He hoped that he could dispel the accusations by doing so.
After all, he would really have to shoulder the blame if he did not say anything.
Nalanye responded very quickly by telling the Ancient Underworld Hall Master, “Stop quibbling. I must kill you!”
These words gave the Ancient Underworld Hall Master an urge to cough out blood. This was utter injustice! However, the Ancient Underworld Hall Master really did not know what to do after seeing Nalanye’s face. It seemed as though Nalanye wanted to use revenge to wipe away his grudges.
Even though he knew deep down that he really had not committed the deed and had never had any intention of killing the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had been killed while en route to negotiate with him. It was a complete coincidence but even though it wasn’t true, it would be impossible to remove the suspicions on him.
