Chapter 1738: Netherworld Clan's Eight Kings

The Red Lotus Netherworld King slightly furrowed her brows, "What?"

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King's face darkened slightly, "Why pretend, Red Lotus Netherworld King? Everyone in the Netherworld Clan knows I like you. I mentioned last time that I hope you'll consider becoming my partner. I am the Prince of the Netherworld Clan, the future King. Accompany me, and you'll be the Queen of the entire Netherworld Clan."

The Red Lotus Netherworld King replied indifferently, "Thank you for your favor, Heavenly Defect Netherworld King, but I'm not interested in you. You should look for another woman for such a good opportunity. I'm sure they will be very willing."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King's face immediately darkened.

"Red Lotus Netherworld King, do you realize what great fortune you are turning down? It's your privilege that I have an eye on you. Do you know how many women long for this honor?"

The alluring woman sneered with disdain, "I really don't understand why you're so confident despite being so ordinary?"

A murderous gleam flashed in the Heavenly Defect Netherworld King's eyes, "Who are you to meddle in the affairs of this Netherworld King? Do you have the right to speak here? Slap yourself, and I'll spare your life; otherwise, bear the consequences."

The Red Lotus Netherworld King replied calmly, "Her words completely echo mine."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King's glare grew fierce as he shouted, "Red Lotus Netherworld King, don't take kindness for granted."

"If you continue to pester, it will only bring shame upon yourself."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King's expression turned exceptionally ugly, "Red Lotus Netherworld King, listen to me carefully. You are my woman, and this won't change. I will find my father and have him personally speak to you."

"Heh..." The Red Lotus Netherworld King replied softly, "Even if your father intervenes, he cannot alter my decision."

"Don't forget, you are one of my Netherworld Clan's Twelve Kings, do you dare to defy the command?"

"I am indeed one of the Twelve Kings of the Netherworld Clan, but that doesn't mean I have to obey everything the clan says. At worst, choose someone else for the position of Netherworld King. Leaving the clan doesn't mean disobeying orders."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King was furious, "Ridiculous! The entire Nether Sea belongs to my Netherworld Clan. Being a king is not something you can simply opt out of. In the Nether Sea, my clan holds the power."

"In the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, the Netherworld Clan only occupies a corner. I think the other three seas will welcome me."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King shouted angrily, "So it seems you've long harbored thoughts of betraying my clan. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. If I can't have you, no one will."

"You are truly deranged. Even if we did betray the clan, it's because a lust-driven fool like you pushed us," the alluring woman laughed coldly.

"Insolence, even a mere Netherworld General dares to be arrogant before the king. Be gone."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King's eyes were cruel as he lifted his hand, gathering dark energy, and struck towards the alluring woman.

The woman's face changed drastically, but the Red Lotus Netherworld King deftly moved her jade-like hand, forming a seal. A dazzling red lotus flew out.

"Boom!"

The red lotus clashed with the power of the Heavenly Defect Netherworld King, exploding with a roar. Both were forced back several steps, glaring at each other coldly.

"Red Lotus Netherworld King, it seems you're not willing to accept leniency. Dare you still challenge me for a servant?"

The Red Lotus Netherworld King replied calmly, "She is not a servant; she is my friend. Even if she were a servant, it's not for you to discipline her. What she said truly represents my thoughts. Heavenly Defect Netherworld King, I advise you to dismiss your intentions. I have no interest in you at all."

"Moreover, if you wish to label me as a traitor to the Netherworld Clan, I suggest you consult with your father to see if he agrees. Considering your reckless behavior as the prince, I believe your father would reconsider entrusting the clan to you."

The Heavenly Defect was fuming with rage, "Are you lecturing me?"

"It's a well-meaning advice, hope you heed it. I returned at the clan leader's command, and if you truly wish to cast me from the Twelve Kings, it must come from the clan leader's lips. The current Netherworld Clan is not yet yours to command."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King's face twisted slightly.

"Red Lotus Netherworld King, you will regret your words today. You are mine, and no one else will take you. Someday, you will be pleasing me in bed."

The Red Lotus Netherworld King's face turned cold, "Heavenly Defect Netherworld King, speaking filth is not befitting a member of the Netherworld Clan. Moreover, as the prince, I will ask your father for an explanation on this matter."

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King sneered, disdaining the concern. As the only son, what would his father do even if he knows? The future of the Netherworld Clan still depends on him.

The reason the Heavenly Defect Netherworld King did not persist was that other Netherworld Kings had arrived.

Figures descended from the sky one after another.

"Crack Mountain Netherworld King."

"God Slaying Netherworld King."

At this moment, the Heavenly Defect Netherworld King presented himself as a refined gentleman, greeting them one by one. No trace of his earlier twisted demeanor towards the Red Lotus Netherworld King could be discerned.

The other Netherworld Kings, aware of his future status as leader, treated him with respect.

Soon, eight of the Twelve Kings of the Netherworld Clan arrived.

The Heavenly Defect smiled, "In that case, let's go inside and wait for the other four kings."

Everyone nodded slightly.

The eyes of many Netherworld Kings fell on the Red Lotus Netherworld King.

Apart from the Heavenly Defect Netherworld King, at least half of the Twelve Kings of the Netherworld Clan found themselves interested in the Red Lotus Netherworld King but refrained due to the Heavenly Defect King's presence.

Opposing the future leader of the Netherworld Clan for a woman wasn't worthwhile.

The Netherworld Kings, along with their subordinates, marched grandly towards the Netherworld Clan.

"Heavenly Defect Netherworld King, do you know what urgent matter the clan leader summoned us back for?"

The Heavenly Defect Netherworld King scoffed, "The clan's Spiritual Master divined that a great catastrophe is approaching the clan. That's why my father hastily called you all back. It's laughable that my father believes a charlatan's words. We, the clan, dominate the Nether Sea; who dares oppose us? What catastrophe could there be?"

"I think it's just the Spiritual Master exaggerating for attention due to their usual uselessness."

"But it doesn't matter, it's been a while since we gathered. Let's use this opportunity to reunite and strengthen our bonds."

The Netherworld Kings nodded in agreement, feeling that what the Heavenly Defect Netherworld King said made sense. The Netherworld Clan has ruled the Nether Sea for so long; who would dare challenge its might? Surely death is the only outcome?

"One, two, three... eight, why are there only eight?"

Suddenly, a discordant voice echoed from above.

The crowd instinctively looked up.

In the air, a small boat floated, and a few figures stood upon it, looking down at them. Leading them was a man as handsome as a demon, cradling a white kitten in his arms.

"It's you?" the God Slaying Netherworld King shouted in anger.

The crowd was startled, not expecting the God Slaying Netherworld King to recognize the person.

"Who is this person, God Slaying Netherworld King?"

The God Slaying Netherworld King replied coldly, "He is Qin Yi, the one who killed many of our Netherworld Clan's experts."

Qin Yi?

The crowd's expressions changed. They had all heard of Qin Yi. After all, no one had dared to challenge the Netherworld Clan's authority on the Nether Sea before. Qin Yi had slain many Netherworld Envoys and Generals, a feat impossible to ignore. For at least the past five hundred years, Qin Yi was the first to brazenly defy the clan.
