Chapter 506 - 513: A Deal with the Netherworld King

"You two outsiders come running to my Netherworld to steal things, and you have the gall to ask who I am?"

The Netherworld King radiated a bone-chilling aura.

This Mahayana cultivator was quite good at hiding. He had been searching for a long time without success, but now he had finally caught him.

And then there was Song Wanning. He was crystal clear on everything that had happened these past few days.

As long as Song Wanning didn’t cause trouble, he hadn’t planned on doing anything. But these two were just too brazen, raising a ruckus in the Eighteen Layers of Hell and turning everything upside down.

If he hadn’t shown up, they would have completely destroyed this place!

"Two outsiders?"

The Mahayana cultivator’s expression shifted slightly, his eagle-like, piercing gaze shooting straight toward Song Wanning.

"You’re a Cultivator from the Spirit Realm too?!!!"

A look of horror flashed in his eyes, and a sudden chill seeped into his heart.

"You—you followed me in??"

The passages to the Netherworld had been closed for tens of thousands of years. How could it be such a coincidence that another one opened at the same time?

’Therefore, she could only have followed me in!’

The mere thought that someone had been watching and following him all this time without him knowing sent a cold shiver down the Mahayana cultivator’s spine.

’This woman truly is bizarre. She can’t be judged by common sense.’

"We were just heading the same way."

Song Wanning’s face broke into a smile, her expression one of pure innocence.

"You—"

The Mahayana cultivator was infuriated by Song Wanning’s shameless act, and at the same time, his wariness of her deepened.

’What kind of monster is she, and where did she crawl out from? For me to have not noticed her at all...’

"Alright, are you two done talking?"

The Netherworld King, feeling ignored by the two, grew even more incensed.

’Is this really the time for them to be figuring out the truth?’

"You two trespassed into the Netherworld and even schemed to steal one of its treasures."

"You really think I, the Netherworld King, am just a decoration, don’t you?!"

A murderous glint flashed in the Netherworld King’s eyes. ’Is the Rebirth Flower something these outsiders can covet?’

"You’re the Netherworld King?"

The Mahayana cultivator’s heart sank, and his eyelid twitched violently.

The Netherworld King was the ruler of the entire Netherworld. Now that he had run into him, getting the Rebirth Flower would be difficult.

Song Wanning’s eyes, however, lit up, a flicker of curiosity crossing her beautiful face.

She had previously heard the Valley Master mention that the current Netherworld King was a gentle and kind person.

So, she immediately thought of a plan and took out an Elixir Bottle.

"So it is Senior Netherworld King. Forgive my intrusion, this junior is Song Wanning."

"It’s just that this junior is in dire need of a Rebirth Flower. I am willing to trade a Super Second Grade Elixir for it. I wonder if Senior would agree to this exchange?"

Before she learned to refine them, Super Second Grade Elixirs were one of a kind.

Even though the Valley Master had now made a breakthrough, he still couldn’t refine a top-quality Super Second Grade Elixir in a short amount of time.

Thus, the value of this Elixir Pill was self-evident.

Hearing this, the Netherworld King was tempted. He was naturally aware of Song Wanning’s abilities, and this Elixir Pill would be very useful to him as well.

However, before he could say anything, the Mahayana cultivator had already let out a derisive laugh, looking at Song Wanning as if she were an idiot.

"So she’s an idiot."

A trace of mockery flashed in his eyes. He just thought Song Wanning was out of her mind.

’A Super Second Grade Elixir is certainly impressive, but a Spirit Pill is useless to a Ghost Cultivator.’

’Using this for a trade? The Netherworld King isn’t an idiot. How could he possibly agree?’

But just as his laughter died down, the Netherworld King nodded. "Alright. Deal!!!"

He wasn’t a bloodthirsty person to begin with. Now that he could make a trade, he was naturally happy to do so.

"..."

This time, the Mahayana cultivator was truly dumbfounded.

’What the hell is this guy? He actually agreed?’

’Can the Netherworld King even use that Elixir Pill?’

’And he just traded for it?’

His frustration and confusion were written all over his face, and seeing it, the corners of Song Wanning’s lips curled up.

’The Mahayana cultivator must be frustrated to death, right?’

It was a pity, but neither of them planned to enlighten him.

In almost the same instant, all three of them made their move.

Song Wanning went straight for the Mahayana cultivator, while the Mahayana cultivator and the Netherworld King both targeted the Rebirth Flower at the same time.

In an instant, the surrounding Yin Qi erupted violently. Countless vortexes of air exploded, setting off a series of thunderous BOOMS.

The evil souls shrieked in terror, their wails unending, wishing they could die all over again.

But the three of them were completely deaf to their cries and roars, clashing at high speed.

Just as the Mahayana cultivator was about to grab the Rebirth Flower, Song Wanning threw a Space Talisman at him.

Instantly, the Mahayana cultivator’s figure vanished, reappearing five meters away the next moment.

In that moment, however, the Netherworld King uprooted the Rebirth Flower and seized it in his hand.

Song Wanning immediately flew over, stored the Rebirth Flower in her Storage Ring, and simultaneously handed the Elixir Pill to the Netherworld King.

With that, the transaction was complete.

"You two—"

The Mahayana cultivator was both shocked and enraged. The way he looked at Song Wanning was as if he were seeing a monster.

"Where in the world did you come from? Why have I never heard of you?!"

He had never heard the name Song Wanning.

But given her methods, there was no way she was a nobody.

"This junior is merely an Ascension Cultivator. It’s perfectly normal that Senior has never heard of me."

Song Wanning smiled faintly. With the Rebirth Flower in her possession, she finally felt at ease.

Once she returned to the Spirit Realm, she could go find the other invader, Jiang Cen.

She had occupied the body of a native Cultivator and deceived the original body’s father...

As long as she used the Rebirth Flower, she wouldn’t even have to act herself; Jiang Cen would be driven to a dead end.

"An Ascension Cultivator?"

The Mahayana cultivator’s eyes narrowed. He still felt that Song Wanning wasn’t telling the truth.

But now wasn’t the time to dwell on that.

"I need the Rebirth Flower. Give it to me, and you can name any price!!!"

He couldn’t make a deal with the Netherworld King.

But Song Wanning was a Cultivator from the Spirit Realm, which was different.

He had plenty of good things on him. It shouldn’t be difficult to find something she needed.

But the one thing Song Wanning didn’t lack was treasures. She even had those treasures from the Huo Family that she hadn’t even bonded with yet.

So, she just shook her head.

"The Rebirth Flower is very important to me as well. I can’t give it to you."

’No one wants to offend a monster like a Mahayana cultivator, but there’s no choice. Dealing with the invader is what’s most important!’

"Fine. It seems you’re determined to fight me for it, then?"

Killing intent flared from the Mahayana cultivator once more. He had to take the Rebirth Flower with him, and no one could stop him!!!

"Don’t think you can rest easy just because you have him helping you. The Rebirth Flower can only be mine!!!!"

With that, he attacked again, his first move nearly sending all the nearby cauldrons of boiling oil flying.

Fortunately, the Eighteen Layers of Hell was protected by restrictive enchantments; otherwise, everything within a ten-li radius would have been devastated.

After all, a Mahayana cultivator could move mountains and fill seas. This was no joke...

Song Wanning’s expression turned grim. She hadn’t expected the Netherworld King to intervene again, so she immediately brandished her sword and counterattacked the Mahayana cultivator.

The two of them were once again locked in a furious battle, and the entire high tower trembled precariously, looking as if it were about to collapse.

The Netherworld King’s face turned black with rage. With an angry roar, he charged in as well.

"You damned old man, get the hell out of my Netherworld now!"

"If you persist in this delusion, don’t blame me for trapping you here forever!!"
