Chapter 1646

With Luo Jiuyou's standing, and being at Dao Yi Shengdi, besides the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, who would dare beat him like this?

Seeing Luo Jiuyou putting on a tough act, still claiming he was sparring with the Nether Clan Old Ancestor.

You're sparring? One's Emperor realm, the other Ancestor realm—what's there to spar about?

Losing by a move? That's fooling ghosts—even if you're a Top Prodigy, can you really bridge two major realms and stand equal with an Ancestor-level existence?

Not to mention Ancestor level, even an Emperor Sovereign expert would have to strain.

Seeing Luo Jiuyou's indifferent tough look, Ye Zhangqing didn't bother to expose him.

After quietly listening to him, Ye Zhangqing only spoke up once Luo Jiuyou had finished.

How did the Old Ancestor over there respond?

Ye Zhangqing was asking about the alliance; hearing that, Luo Jiuyou paused briefly, then quickly patted his chest and said.

Naturally there's no problem—I told the old man yesterday, he said it's fine; don't you trust me to handle this?

Tomorrow I'll bring the old man over; Brother Ye Zhangqing, you prepare a meal to entertain him—this will surely be fine.

Really?

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing expressed some doubt—Luo Jiuyou's current appearance really isn't convincing.

Even Ye Zhangqing wondered if Luo Jiuyou had been beaten precisely because of this matter.

Sensing Ye Zhangqing's doubt, Luo Jiuyou patted his chest and assured him.

Do you still not trust me to handle this? Rest easy—I've got it covered. And, Brother Ye Zhangqing, is there any breakfast left? Give me a bowl.

Luo Jiuyou, just able to get out of bed, rushed to the canteen naturally for that meal.

Seeing that, Ye Zhangqing smiled and shook his head—breakfast was surely gone, so he could only simply cook Luo Jiuyou a bowl of noodles.

Luo Jiuyou didn't complain; with Ye Zhangqing's skill, even a plain bowl of plain water noodles would surely be delicious.

After eating a big bowl of noodles in the canteen, Luo Jiuyou finally left satisfied.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to guarantee again.

Brother Ye Zhangqing, rest assured—I've got this covered.

Then I'll await your good news, Brother Luo.

Rest easy, it's all set.

Leaving the canteen, Luo Jiuyou's smile gradually faded—now that he'd spoken, the old man would certainly have to settle this.

Walking and thinking, when he returned to his dong fu, Luo Jiuyou simply steeled himself, dragged his injured body, and went straight to the old man's small courtyard.

He pushed the door open; at that moment, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor was discussing matters with two Nether Clan Emperor Sovereign perfected experts.

As the courtyard door was pushed open with a bang, Luo Jiuyou hobbled in.

He was just brutally beaten yesterday, and today he's back?

Looking at Luo Jiuyou, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor and the two Emperor Sovereign experts were all somewhat doubtful—how did this guy come again?

Do you have business?

Or the Nether Clan Old Ancestor spoke up, asking, "You're beaten like this and not resting—what are you doing here?"

Facing the old man's question, Luo Jiuyou, with an air of having long disregarded life and death, gritted his teeth and said.

What am I here for—you don't know?

Kid, are you itching for a beating again?

Hearing that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor said lightly, but Luo Jiuyou showed no intention to retreat; instead, he spoke as if welcoming death.

Cut the act—I'm just asking: regarding the alliance with Haotu Shijie, will you agree or will you agree?

Again because of this? Hearing that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor gave a cold chuckle, slowly rose, his gaze on Luo Jiuyou, and said slowly.

It seems I was still too light-handed yesterday.

Stop spouting uselessness—if you've got the ability, kill me; otherwise I............... ah...............

Luo Jiuyou was still speaking when, the next second, a black shadow appeared before him, and then his vision blurred.

Immediately he was knocked to the ground by a punch, after which followed inhumane torment.

This time Luo Jiuyou's cries were even more miserable, while the Nether Clan Old Ancestor struck and shouted.

You little brat, you're getting more and more lawless.

You're playing the backbone game with me? Fine—I want to see just how much backbone you have from head to toe.

Another brutal beating; when the Nether Clan Old Ancestor clapped his hands to finish, Luo Jiuyou had already been knocked unconscious.

The two Emperor Sovereign experts beside him watched, their hearts pounding with shock.

Really damn vicious," one of them muttered, then asked.

Old Ancestor, is this......... all right, the young master?

Hearing that, the Nether Clan Old Ancestor glanced at Luo Jiuyou without concern.

It's fine; I'm controlling my strength—he won't die.

Huh???

Hearing that, the two Emperor Sovereign experts looked at Luo Jiuyou lying unconscious on the ground, each falling into silence.

This indeed doesn't look lethal, but the problem is he doesn't seem like he'll last long either.

This is their Nether Clan's sole young master; if he's beaten to death, what then?

One felt like advising the old man to not be so heavy-handed next time—after all, he's the one who raised him; could they really beat him to death?

But the lesson from Luo Jiuyou's past was still fresh in their minds; after hesitating repeatedly, they ultimately didn't dare speak up.

Regarding the young master, the old man can already be this ruthless—let alone them, being beaten to death isn't impossible.

Forget it; the young master's affairs are for him to settle—they can only express their inability to help.

Then the three continued discussing matters, after which the Nether Clan Old Ancestor had the two take Luo Jiuyou back to his room to rest.

Along the way, Luo Jiuyou never woke up, even after being given the elixir.

"Any breath left?"

They carefully placed Luo Jiuyou on the bed, and one of them asked.

He hadn't moved at all along the way, and he began to suspect the young master might already be cold.

He quickly signaled his companion to check the young master's breath; upon hearing that, the other reached out to feel, then nodded.

"Still there."

"That's fine, as long as he's not dead."

No matter what, as long as there's still breath clinging on, he can still be saved.

Luo Jiuyou had been beaten up twice in a row by the old man, and over the next two days, Ye Zhangqing never saw Luo Jiuyou.

He began to feel it was unreliable, as Shi Song's side had already inquired many times.

Right now, allying with the Nether Clan is indeed a top priority for the Haotu World.

Originally Ye Zhangqing had intended to have the Eternal Night Old Ancestor step forward, but while eating, he merely tried probing with a sentence, and the Eternal Night Old Ancestor directly replied.

"Youngster Changqing, I can still call the shots on my own Eternal Night affairs, but as for the Nether Clan's matters, even if you call me, it's useless."

"That old thing from the Nether Clan might give me a bit of face, but not much, it's useless; this matter still has to rely on you yourselves, and besides, isn't there Luo Jiuyou kid helping? What does he say?"

"By the way, where is that kid?"
