“You deal with it? What kind of joke is this, do you even know who Mo Ling is?” Elder Xiao said slightly angrily.

Did this man even hear what the others said? Who among the four heroes was easy to deal with? Back in snow city, he heard that two senior elders and five elders combined barely went even against Mo Ling’s Tai Mountain giant!

Though main palace had many elders and experts, if soul alliance dared to start trouble, a huge amount of experts would definitely come forth. Then, if no one could occupy Mo Ling’s Tai Mountain giant, his giant would stand out in strength and cause great damage to the senior elders’ top tier emperor rank soul pets!

“Being unduly humble is bad, but overestimating yourself is also frowned upon. We should take this slowly.” The rather conservative elder Yang Fengyi said.

Yang Fengyi was a female elder. From her appearance, she was around forty, so her actual age wouldn't be very young. She really admired Chu Mu’s ability, but her conservative thinking caused her to think it was a bad idea to go up against soul alliance head on. Let alone, could this seemingly calm young man really go up against end hero Mo Ling? One had to know barely anyone in soul palace could say that confidently.

Soul palace people who didn’t like expressing their own opinions all mostly agreed with Yang Fengyi’s ideas. Not many people gave their recognition to Chu Mu’s idea.

Taking it from the long term naturally meant talking with the other two palaces.Dealing with soul alliance was a matter of all three palaces. Since soul alliance was incredibly powerful, soul palace naturally had to find others for support.

The second day, three palace’s higher level all gathered in soul palace to talk about this issue. Of course, it included whether or not they should help Mu Qingyi bring back justice. After all, everyone knew Mu QIngyi no longer had a dominator rank soul pet, and was much weaker than before….

“Nightmare Emperor Jiang, tell me your thoughts.” Diagram supreme Ke Yin looked at emperor jiang and asked.

Nightmare emperor Jiang instead glanced over at Chu Mu and secretly used soul remembrance to communicate, “Chu Fangchen, are you truly trying to deal with end hero?”

“En.” Chu Mu nodded.

“Good resolve! I’ve gotten tired of that fellow for a while!! Good, we nightmare palace will all support you!” Nightmare emperor Jiang instead laughed in his soul remembrance.

After he spoke, nightmare emperor Jiang stiffened his face and his tone fell colder as he addressed everyone, “I agree with Chu Fangchen, soul alliance doesn’t dare start a war with us. They clearly just want to test our limits, so why don’t we dull their resolve a little, in case they start feeling too good about themselves?”

Nightmare emperor Jiang wasn’t afraid of starting a battle now. All of nightmare palace had been storing up resources for a few years now. If they didn’t fight, they wouldn’t even know what to do!

“What are your opinions?” Nightmare emperor Jiang asked the other elites of nightmare palace.

“We all agree with Chu Fangchen too!” Elder Han, Shen, and a few others were all in agreement, giving their full support!

Nightmare palace’s bravery caused soul palace’s more conservative people to be speechless. They all cursed secretly at the crazy fools in nightmare palace, actually following a young man willfully!

However, what people didn't understand was, why did nightmare palace specially note that they agreed with Chu Fangchen, as if they saw Chu Fangchen as their leader?

“Nightmare emperor Jiang, you must know that this time, the person that came forth was end hero Mo Ling…..” Elder Xiao specially emphasised.

“Mo Ling has already scared all of you stiff. Mo Ling isn’t much!” Nightmare emperor Jiang humphed coldly, but in his mind he added, “The young man in front of you killed even nightmare ancestor!

Diagram supreme Ke Yin saw Nightmare palace fully supporting Chu Mu and laughed bitterly. If NIghtmare palace truly obeyed this young man, diagram supreme had an answer in mind. Of course, he still had to ask soul pet palace for their opinion.

Soul pet palace remained neutral, so in the end diagram supreme spoke, “Then tell people to spread the word that heavenly concubine Mu Qingyi was framed. Remember not to affect emperor concubine; her influence is too large and can easily bring bad news to us.”

Three palace had a lot of members in almost all cities. If they wanted to spread certain information, it was too easy!

    ……

Indeed, the same night, news about Mu Qingyi being framed and someone intentionally confusing the emperor concubine spread out, pointing the spearhead at end hero Mo Ling.

Mu Qingyi originally had a higher status than end hero Mo Ling and had greater influence. Thus, if three palace stands forth, many other factions that favored Mu family would gather together too.

On the third day, the entire Wanxiang city was lifted with a wave of heavenly concubine getting framed, where everyone could be seen talking about it.

“Look, I knew there was something in there that was fishy. Heavenly concubine has always been righteous, so how could she do such a thing?”

“Yes, yes, it’s definitely end hero Mo Ling. More damnable is that he dared lie to the emperor concubine too, he truly is unforgivable!”

“Though Mu family has stepped away from command, I still hear many old people say that Mu family was very forgiving to their people; no emperor family was ever like them.

“I’m not sure if you’ve heard yet, when snow city battle happened between three palace and soul alliance, it hurt countless civilians and immediately- heavenly concubine got furious and scolded end hero Mo Ling for being cold-hearted. She even brought justice for the people under the risk of offending both the factions. How would such a queen be a criminal?”

Rumors continued to spread. Within the short while, wanxiang city’s thoughts on Mu Qingyi split into two clear factions. And, through this trend, as many factions that were loyal to mu family stood out, it could cause the news of Mu QIngyi being framed to become the mainstream story.

    ……

“Beng!!!!!!”

A jade desk was shattered in one slam. In the powder, end hero Mo Ling stared angrily at the rows of subordinates in front of him!

“What are you idiots doing, not even able to accomplish such a simple task? Why do I keep you around!” Mo Ling pointed at the people and screamed.

“Boss, three palace just has too many members, especially at the bottom level. In terms of information spreading, we truly can’t do much more…… and, Mu family’s influence is far greater than what we thought. Once three palace stood out, more people were inclined to come help.” The man kneeling at the center said.

“Three palaces! Hengheng, looks like if I don’t show them what I can do, they truly think they can’t be harmed!” Mo Ling’s eyes glinted cold!

The moment he finished speaking, a man cloaked in shadows floated over like a ghost.

Mo Ling saw the shadow and immediately his face changed as he frantically tried to summon his soul pet.

However, Mo Ling was still too slow. The shadow floated past the previously speaking man, and immediately, a line of blood appeared down the man’s neck!

“Puchi!”

Blood sprayed out onto the flower carpeted floor. The man blankly held his neck as his body fell down, oozing blood along the way.

The scary scene caused the other kneeled people to have hackles raised. Their entire body started shaking.

“If he can’t do things well and uses excuses to hide it, why keep him?” The man said calmly, as if killing the man was as easy as waving his hand.

Mo Ling glanced at this black ghost of a man, and his face turned even more steely, “He was my subordinate, even if he dies, its by my hand!”

“Sometimes you are like a lady and can’t make the move so I, Yi Jun, will help you.” The man named Yi Jun said.

Hearing this man call himself Yi Jun, he kneeled down and felt a wave of cold and shock!

Yi Jun. Many people didn't know who this was because this was a person that lived completely in the darkness!

He was the king of underground palace!!

Underground palace was always touted as the fourth palace, but it was clear that they couldn't see the light of day, and thus weren’t as powerful foundationally as three palaces.

However, having gathered so many evil killers, prisoners, and criminals, underground palace has never been destroyed. This was not because of how powerful it was or hard to deal with, but rather simply because there was a person that even three palace didn’t wish to trouble!

This person was the underground king - Yi JuN!

In the human realm, not many dared to call themselves king. Even Mo Ling wouldn’t dare to do that, but Yi Jun definitely had the ability to do so!

“Why are you here!” Mo Ling said hostility.

Yi jun pointed at the corpse and said, “You can’t do things well- like him, but sadly I can’t kill you, so I can only follow master’s wishes and help you clean up.”

“Heng, I suggest you don’t appear, in case you cause greater problems for us.” Mo Ling said.

Yi Jun was indeed powerful, but this person had truly risen to a point where anyone was eager to kill him. If other factions knew that Yi Jun were partnering with soul alliance, soul alliance’s reputation will fall greatly.

“Hehe, you care too much. How would I, a sewage rat, possibly come out into the light of day and defile your reputation?” Yi Jun’s description seemed mocking, but wasn’t delivered as so, as if he enjoyed the sensation of staying underground.

“Then just do your thing.” Mo Ling said coldly.

Mo Ling indeed didn’t want to deal with this fellow. Being eccentric and loving killing, there was no telling why this man was so obedient to his master.
