Chapter 1389: The Inheritance (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The sky was a brilliant red like a raging sea of flames, covering the world in an omnipresent manner.
Underneath this sky, a large dragon was spitting flames. Its red pupils carried a ferocious light while its entire body was filled with a powerful deterrent force as if it was ignited with flames. However, most importantly, the dragon has three heads. Each head had an enormous mouth which would spew out flames, terrifying the humans who were standing beneath the flames.
A head of silvery hair was fluttering in the wind in front of the Three-Headed Hell Dragon. The crimson-robed man was standing tall in a cold and distant manner in midair. His eyes carried a blood-thirsty light and his vicious glare was fixed upon the ferocious Three-Headed Hell Dragon!
“Qianbei Ye, cough, cough…”
Suddenly, someone coughed near the silver-haired man in crimson robes. A heavily wounded man in black robes with a mask covering his face crawled to his feet from the ground. His handsome face was entirely pale and his voice carried an obvious sense of astonishment, “Why… Are you here? What about my little sister? Where is she?”
Qianbei Ye looked at the cold and grim black-robed man before he placed his attention on the Three-Headed Hell Dragon. He then spoke in a cold and vicious voice, “Let him go.”
The Three-Headed Hell Dragon fell silent but his eyes remained just as fearsome as ever. His icy-cold voice carried a murderous intent as he replied, “I never thought that someone as powerful as you would invade my Dark Earth Realm all for the sake of one small, insignificant human! How are you related to this human?”
“He’s my brother-in-law, a precious relative of my bride-to-be. I’m going to take him with me no matter what today!”
“Hahaha!” The Three-Headed Hell Dragon burst into laughter as if he had just heard a hilarious joke, “Bride-to-be? I never thought that a cruel, blood-thirsty man like you would fall in love with a woman and would willingly journey to the Dark Earth Realm for the sake of her relative! Unfortunately, I cannot let you take this man away. He had the audacity to enter the Dark Earth Realm and had tried to steal the Dark Earth Realm’s treasures. Hence, I will never let him go!”
Hearing this, Gu Shengxiao laughed bitterly.
He had been turned into a half-puppet by the Wen family and he had heard that the Dark Earth Realm was the only place which contains the Earth Lotus Heart which could restore him into a full human once again. Hence, he had taken the risk and stepped into this place.
However, he never expected to bump into the Three-Headed Hell Dragon once he had entered the Dark Earth Realm!
“And if I insist on taking him away?” A wave of eerily sinister aura erupted from Qianbei Ye’s body as his bloodthirsty eyes glared at the Three-Headed Hell Dragon.
“I admit that you were very powerful in the past but you aren’t at your peak strength now! Do you think that you can defeat me with your current abilities? However, on account of our old friendship, I can give you a choice! You can stay in the Dark Earth Realm in exchange for his freedom!”
The Three-Headed Hell Dragon laughed sinisterly but his eyes were filled with mockery as if Qianbei Ye was only a toy in his hands.
Qianbei Ye raised his head. His features became increasingly magnificent in the face of the raging flames as he said, “Alright, I’ll agree to it.”
The Three-Headed Hell Dragon was shocked as if he never expected Qianbei Ye to agree so readily. “Qianbei Ye, don’t forget, you have countless enemies in the Dark Earth Realm. If you remain in the Dark Earth Realm, there are many who would want to turn your bones into dust! Are you truly willing to exchange yourself for this human’s freedom?”
The Dark Earth Realm, also known as the Underworld, was, of course, different from the mythical underworld where humans would journey to after death. This Underworld was not very much different from the mainland where the people of the world reside. It was made up of large organizations and orders as well.
However, humans who live in the Underworld have extremely long lives. Hence, the gate to the Dark Earth Realm was guarded by the Three-Headed Hell Dragon so people from the outside could not enter and those on the inside could not escape.
Hence, after a long period of time, the Underworld has turned into a myth. A rumor then appeared from out of nowhere, saying that great sinners would be sent to the Underworld upon death!
Actually, that was not the case. The Underworld was only a small, sealed-off dimension. As it was far too mysterious, rumors like that had begun to circulate on the mainland!
“I had promised my bride-to-be that I would bring her big brother back to her.” Qianbei Ye looked at the Three-Headed Hell Dragon and said, “I will keep every promise I’ve ever made to her.”
