Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2645 - 2645 Threat



2645 Threat

“So, it’s the young master of Verdant Flame Ridge.”

When Tang Qing’er saw who it was, she cupped her fists and greeted.

Similar to Corpse Mountain Ridge, Verdant Flame Ridge was one of the ten great Hell Ridges!

The young master of Verdant Flame Ridge said with a smile, “The little princess of the North Ridge usually cultivates in the Central Capital. It’s truly rare that you’re making such a long journey to return for the birthday banquet of King North Ridge.”

Tang Qing’er said, “I naturally can’t miss father’s 800,000 year old birthday.”

“Of course.”

The eyes of the young master of Verdant Flame Ridge curved sharper. “The true pity will be if you miss King North Ridge’s birthday banquet this time round.”

“Young master.”

The Hell King expert of Verdant Flame Ridge said softly, “It’s time for us to leave.”

“Understood!”

The young master of Verdant Flame Ridge laughed and led the large group of people to brush past Tang Qing’er and the others.

The Martial Dao Prime Body felt something strange.

Logically speaking, Verdant Flame Ridge was only one of the ten great Hell Ridges and was under the rule of King North Ridge.

However, he did not seem to have much respect for Tang Qing’er in North Ridge City which was right under the nose of King North Ridge.

“That’s him!”

Right then, a shout sounded not far away. “The person in the purple robe and silver mask, that’s him!”

The Martial Dao Prime Body and the others looked over.

Another large group of cultivators walked towards them with an aggressive aura—they were hostile!

The group of them exuded a strong aura of death and their skin had green tinges.

“Enemies are bound to meet.”

Tang Qing’er frowned slightly and sighed.

“They’re from Corpse Mountain Ridge?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked.

Tang Qing’er nodded. “To think that we would meet here in advance. But don’t worry, they won’t do anything to you with me around.”

The reason why Tang Qing’er was so protective of the Martial Dao Prime Body was because she was curious about the upper world.

She wanted to obtain some information about the upper world from the Martial Dao Prime Body.

However, the young master of the South Forest felt another feeling when he saw that.

He was displeased and his gaze darkened.

“So, it’s the young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge.”

Tang Qing’er took the initiative to step forward, shielding the Martial Dao Prime Body behind her as she greeted the young man in the lead.

“The little princess of the North Ridge?”

The young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge frowned and waved it off. “Make way, I’m looking for that purple-robed man behind you!”

Uncle Chen’s expression darkened. He glared at the young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge and said coldly, “This is our princess of the North Ridge. Watch your tone and attitude!”

A Hell King behind the young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge stood out as well. “Brother Chen, this has nothing to do with the North Ridge. I advise you guys not to interfere.”

Tang Qing’er smiled gently. “Everyone, I was present when everything happened. There was some misunderstanding that caused both parties to fight. Please don’t pursue this matter on account of my father.”

“Why? Are you trying to say that our Corpse Mountain Ridge’s Nether General North Black shall die for nothing?!”

The Hell King of Corpse Mountain Ridge narrowed his gaze and said aggressively, “Little princess of the North Ridge, you have to think carefully. Nether General North Black is someone from the Ancient Nether race!”

“The Ancient Nether race has a noble status in Hell indeed. However, North Black was only a Nether General at the end of the day.”

Tang Qing’er gradually retracted the smile on her face. Her tone turned cold as she asked, “My father is King North Ridge. Is his reputation inferior to a mere Nether General?”

The young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge sneered. “The reputation of King North Ridge, fufu…”

Initially, Uncle Chen harbored some dislike towards the Martial Dao Prime Body as well.

However, at that moment, it was clear from the attitudes of the young master and Hell King of Corpse Mountain Ridge that they were looking down on King North Ridge!

That was something that Uncle Chen could not tolerate!

“Guys.”

Uncle Chen narrowed his eyes that shone with a cold glint and said slowly, “Let me remind you guys that this is North Ridge City, not Corpse Mountain Ridge. Be careful, trouble comes from your mouths!”

“The birthday banquet of King North Ridge is approaching. The North Ridge doesn’t mind using the corpses and fresh blood of an entire Hell Ridge to liven things up at his birthday banquet!”

It was a blatant threat!

The expressions of the young master and Hell King of Corpse Mountain Ridge changed clearly—they looked wary.

“Young master, endure it first. There’s no need to be hasty.”

The Hell King reminded secretly.

The young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge had a dark expression. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled. “Not bad, the North Ridge sure is impressive. Just you wait and see.”

With that said, the young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge beckoned and led the way with the cultivators behind him.

“Hmph!”

Looking at the back view of Corpse Mountain Ridge’s group, Uncle Chen harrumphed coldly and said sinisterly, “After the king’s birthday banquet, Corpse Mountain Ridge should be replaced!”

“Go on.”

Tang Qing’er said, “Let’s forget about this matter.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body witnessed the entire process and felt that things were not simple.

Although North Ridge City seemed peaceful and joyous, there were actually undercurrents surging!

Be it Verdant Flame Ridge or Corpse Mountain Ridge, their attitude towards Tang Qing’er was clearly a little strange.

Furthermore, the young master of Corpse Mountain Ridge seemed to be implying something.

The young master of Verdant Flame Ridge seemed like he wanted to say something as well. However, he was reminded by the Hell King of Verdant Flame Ridge and left first.

“Seems like this birthday banquet of King North Ridge won’t be peaceful.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body thought to himself.

The young master of the South Forest at the side witnessed everything as well and was slightly puzzled.

However, he did not think too much about it and followed Tang Qing’er and the others into the palace of North Ridge City.

Not long after they entered the palace, a group of people walked over. Their leader was tall and had a powerful aura. Every single move he made exuded the dominance of a king.

“Big brother!”

When Tang Qing’er saw that person, she smiled and greeted him from afar.

It was the eldest prince of King North Ridge, Tang Hao. He was the one overseeing the birthday banquet this time round and was a Hell King.

“Qing’er, you’re back.”

Tang Hao’s gaze shifted. When he saw Tang Qing’er, he smiled as well and strode over.

“Your Highness.”

Uncle Chen bowed.

Tang Hao nodded slightly. He looked at Tang Qing’er and smiled. “You’ve been cultivating in the Central Capital and haven’t seen father for many years.”

“Father was also delighted when he heard that you’ve returned.”

Pausing for a moment, he looked at the young master of the South Forest and sized him up. “This must be the young master of the South Forest, right?”

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

The young master of the South Forest cupped his fists hurriedly.

Tang Hao smiled and nodded. “You’re indeed a handsome young man with a dignified appearance. Father should be very satisfied to see you.”

“Where’s father? Let’s pay him a visit.”

Tang Qing’er asked.

“This is…”

Tang Hao’s gaze shifted to the Martial Dao Prime Body and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

For some unknown reason, Tang Hao could not sense the cultivation realm of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

Furthermore, the Martial Dao Prime Body exuded the aura of a living person that was incompatible with the surroundings.

“This is a friend I met on the way back. I can take him to meet father at the same time.” Tang Qing’er explained briefly.

“Father is resting in his chamber. You guys can go on.”

As Tang Hao said that, he scanned the Martial Dao Prime Body.

However, no matter how he checked, he could not see the depths of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
