Chapter 15: The Enemy Arrives

"From now on, call me boss in front of others," the voice of the Death Overlord sounded again in Xiao En's mind.

"Yes." After Xiao En arrived beside the Death Overlord, he confirmed that the surrounding space was warped, invisible and inaudible to others.

The Death Overlord looked up at Xiao En and smiled, "Xiao En, the Nether Hotel is about to receive some guests; does that involve you?"

"I don't understand your meaning, Overlord?" Xiao En asked cautiously, now realizing the ancient Earth saying that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger.

The Death Overlord laughed, "Members of the Four Beast Clan have arrived, looking for you."

"Four Beast Clan?" Xiao En immediately understood that, as the Death Overlord's envoy, the news had likely spread across all divine realms.

It's not surprising that the Four Beast Clan knows, but even knowing that I have become the Lord God's envoy, they still come near Nether Mountain to find me; these people have been arrogantly overbearing for far too long.

But considering the original eight great families' ultimate hatred, it seems normal.

He then asked, "Overlord, do you want me to punish them?"

The Death Overlord said calmly, "Your matter with the Four Beast Clan, I wouldn't interfere if it were elsewhere.

But they dare to come near my Nether Mountain; that's courting death. As my envoy, you should naturally handle it."

"Overlord, rest assured, I will definitely punish them properly," Xiao En readily agreed.

He also knew that the Lord God usually wouldn't personally slay deity-level beings, each having their own pride, but he soon thought of a question and asked, "Lord God, I have no fear of them, but if they try to flee, I can't chase them all down."

"I didn't intend for you to kill them all; deal with as many as you can," the Death Overlord said coldly.

"No problem." A trace of killing intent gradually rose within Xiao En; now he possessed the Divine Artifact, which compensated for his shortcomings.

However, he must not be careless; if the opponent has too many six-star and seven-star masters all wielding the Lord God's power, their soul attacks could also threaten him.

The Death Overlord pointed in a direction and added, "They are now thousands of li away in that direction; the leader seems to know my Nether Hotel is not to be trifled with, so they haven't come directly."

"It seems the Four Beast Clan's Lord God also warned them about the forbidden area of Nether Mountain," Xiao En said with a smile. "But since they've come yet dare not approach, they must be waiting for me to leave."

"Then go ahead," the Death Overlord said calmly.

"Yes, Overlord, I will take my leave now," Xiao En bowed and departed.

He understood that the Death Overlord was going to watch the spectacle, and he needed to perform well.

…

Above a forest outside Nether Mountain, thousands of elite practitioners floated in the air, all high-ranking deities.

"Bu Weite, this Nether Mountain is the Death Overlord's residence; if Xiao En stays in the mountain for billions of years, would we have to wait billions of years?" a towering man shouted.

Bu Weite, a seven-star demon elder of the Azure Dragon Clan, replied, "Mr. Ta Shan, as long as we spread in the Nether Realm that Xiao En is blocked inside Nether Mountain, it would disgrace the Lord God's envoy; Xiao En, to preserve the Nether Realm Overlord's face, will inevitably come out."

Although he is an elder of the Four Beast Clan, Mr. Ta Shan is the Lord God's envoy of his ancestors, ranking just below the Four Beast Clan's chieftain; even a clan elder must show him due respect.

"You are truly bold," Ta Shan said coldly, eyeing Bu Weite, and asked curiously, "What grudge do you hold against Xiao En that makes you take such a risk?"

Bu Weite replied, "Mr. Ta Shan, rest assured, although we are in Nether Mountain, we have not offended the Lord God; the Lord God will not act against us."

"According to my research, Xiao En is extremely proud; being targeted by us, he will inevitably come out."

"He has already become the Lord God's envoy, possesses the Divine Artifact, and has no family of his own; such a person, even the Four Beast Clan, would be reluctant to offend casually," Ta Shan asked again.

Bu Weite glanced at Nether Mountain and said, "It's already too late; no one expected him to become the Lord God's envoy, but the wanted notice has already been issued. Could we retract it?"

"Regardless of whatever Divine Artifact he has obtained, with so many of us wielding the Lord God's power, we can certainly kill him; this is the only chance, otherwise if he goes elsewhere later, it will be troublesome."

"Indeed, now that matters have come to this, we can only strike first," Ta Shan agreed.

At the pinnacle, the Lord God's envoy—aside from the Lord God and the Great Perfection—no one has absolute certainty of killing them, and a handful of Lord God's envoys besieging them would require resources that even the Four Beast Clan finds difficult to mobilize, and they still don't know where the opponent is.

One can only say this is indeed extremely rare; after being wanted, he became a Lord God's envoy, which puts the Four Beast Clan in an awkward position, and even many families from the four supreme realms and the seven great divine realms are waiting to watch the spectacle.

Bu Weite added, "Mr. Ta Shan, rest assured, the clan chief has agreed to summon elders and six-star demons from the Nether Sea, and additionally, Mr. Ha Er Lei from the Water Divine Realm will also come."

With so many elites gathered, as soon as Xiao En appears, they must surround and slaughter him, preventing him from leaving Nether Mountain and becoming a major internal threat to our Four Beast Clan.

"Ha Er Si is also coming? That's excellent; with his support and yours, once we surround Xiao En, he is certain to die!" Ta Shan said with a smile.

Bu Weite added, "Mr. Ta Shan, after killing him, his spatial ring will belong to me; I will compensate you in other ways, such as with the Lord God's power."

"Fine!" Ta Shan replied.

Although he sensed there might be problems, after all he also serves the Four Beast Clan, and without sufficiently certain benefits, he didn't want to conflict with the Four Beast elders.

…

In the distance, Xiao En gradually approached, suppressing his aura to the utmost, and heard all the conversation.

Because he might be under the Death Overlord's surveillance at this moment, he didn't go far, merely projecting his consciousness as only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.

"Are there other Lord God's envoys coming?" Xiao En's expression changed slightly; he realized he must strike early.

On that plane's battlefield, a peak Asura is hard to kill in the wild, but the great war is perilous because there are too many six-star and seven-star demons; even without the Lord God's power, hundreds or thousands attacking together make it dangerous without dual-protected Divine Artifacts.

The current situation is similar; the Four Beast Clan has too many members, all wielding the Lord God's power. If surrounded by them, there is a risk of downfall. This differs from last time; in strength, this group is more than ten times larger, and several seven-star demons have already been spotted by him.

"It seems we need to plant some soul seeds in advance; with insiders we can decide the next step!"

Then Xiao En's figure gradually retreated and vanished.
