Chapter 709: Chapter 464: You agreed before I finished speaking?_3
“This gentleman…”
Xu Yang didn’t know how to refer to the High-ranking True Deity, so he called him ‘Mister,’ and asked, “Mister, has there been an intrusion here just now?”
The High-ranking True Deity initially wanted to respond, but after remembering the orders from the Death Lord, he immediately shook his head in denial.
“???”
Xu Yang was puzzled, “Really? I must have sensed it wrongly… Wait, there’s a corpse under that corner of the wall!”
“…”
With a flick of his palm, he destroyed the corpse. This High-ranking True Deity, with a blank face, said, “Celestial Master Xu must’ve seen it wrong… Celestial Master Xu, please, ahead is the very heart of my City of Death, the Palace of Death!”
As soon as he entered the Palace of Death, Xu Yang caught sight of that familiar figure.
The Overseer of Death!
He wasn’t tall.
Beneath the black robe, his body seemed rather lean.
He held a scepter of death in his hand.
He sat casually in a stone chair, yet he projected an imposing presence, as solid as a divine mountain.
Xu Yang clasped his hands, “Greetings, Overseer of Death.”
“No need for formalities.”
The Overseer spoke indifferently, striving to maintain a calm tone. Yet his heart thumped uncontrollably, even daring not to look directly at Xu Yang!
Damn it!
This being…
It’s really him!
The memories of his early death was once again awakened in his mind.
In the brain of the Overseer, the image of a great being from the Eastern Underworld Palace, standing in space, his figure larger than a steady star, emerged…
At that time, he was trying to capture a Space Behemoth.
The Space Behemoth was terrifying, probably not inferior to his current self by much.
However, with just one strike…
That emperor, with just one strike, suppressed the Space Behemoth!
Shivering, the Overseer of Death came back to his senses.
Even without those nine guys coming to “warn” him, even if someone lent him a hundred guts… he wouldn’t dare to offend this being!
What’s different now is, if it were not for the “warnings” from those nine, the moment he saw him, he would run far away!
Now…
He had to pretend to be at ease when facing him.
“Ding!”
“The Overseer of Death is shocked, Virtue Points +1,000,000.”
“Ding!”
“The Overseer of Death is shocked, Virtue Points +1,000,000.”
“Ding…”
“???”
Xu Yang blinked his eyes.
He looked at the Overseer of Death sitting on the stone chair, sensing his strong aura. After triple confirmation that he hadn’t “heard” wrong, he hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, “Overseer of Death… why am I under the impression that you are scared of me?”
Upon hearing these words…
“Ding!”
“The Overseer of Death is shocked, Virtue Points +1,000,000.”
“Ding!”
“The Overseer of Death is shocked, Virtue Points +1,000,000.”
“Ding…”
Another few system notification sounds echoed together, the Overseer of Death shivered secretly, responded with false bravado, “Nonsense, as the dignified Overseer of Death, the powerful who has achieved Great Perfection in comprehension of the rules of death, how could I be scared of you?”
True.
The Overseer of Death… why would he fear me?
But the system notification sound can’t fake it, Xu Yang could only suppress his doubts, swung his hand to throw the caught Middle-ranking True Deity to the ground, and said, “Overseer of Death, I have to be honest… I’m here today to propose an alliance with you. As far as I know…”
“I’ve considered that too, to form an alliance with Celestial Master Xu is an honor for my City of Death. From today on, my City of Death will be the most loyal ally of Celestial Master Xu, we shall share weal and woe!”
“???”
Xu Yang was speechless… Damn it!
I haven’t even finished my speech yet, and you already agreed?
