Chapter 2022: Chapter 2022: Coronation as King
As everyone walked out of the Temple, they witnessed an extremely shocking scene.
On the plaza outside the Temple, many people were kneeling.
Looking around, it was a vast sea of heads.
Long Qie, being sharp-eyed, recognized the identities of several people in the crowd. They were leaders from various major forces, and their factions had all participated in the attack on the Blood Clan.
Not only Long Qie, but also Brent and the others recognized these people, and immediately a murderous intent filled the air around them.
If Xiao Zheng and Hades hadn’t spoken yet, they would have rushed in and beheaded these people long ago.
The crowd slowly parted, and Xiao Zheng and Hades walked side by side.
When those kneeling on the ground saw the two of them appearing, a trace of panic and regret flashed in their eyes. Clearly, their purpose in coming this time was to test whether Xiao Zheng and Hades were really alive and had returned.
The result of the test left them feeling hopeless, because neither Xiao Zheng nor Hades were people they could deal with.
Now everyone was only hoping that Hades would go easy on them.
"Clan leader Wu Bai’er of the Moonset Clan, pays respects to the great Blood Clan Netherworld King and the Evil God!"
Among the crowd, one person rushed to pay great homage to Xiao Zheng and Hades.
Seeing his diligent manner, others couldn’t help but silently curse in their hearts, then hastily followed suit, kneeling on the ground and heavily kowtowing.
The scene of thousands of people bowing together was undoubtedly very shocking.
However, in the eyes of Xiao Zheng and Hades, it only brought a hint of mockery to their faces.
Xiao Zheng knew that with Hades’s personality, she would certainly not want to waste words with these people, so he took the initiative to ask, "With so many of you coming to the Netherworld King Temple, what is it that you seek? Could it be you intend to attack the Netherworld King Temple?"
"We wouldn’t dare..." They hastily replied in fear.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh, saying, "Wouldn’t dare? In this world, is there really anything you dare not do?"
Hearing his words, everyone was momentarily at a loss for what to say.
A chill rose up their backs, and their faces became deathly pale.
"You really have some nerve, daring to loot a burning house while we were fighting with Gabriel." Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I really don’t know if I should call you brave or say you’ve grown tired of living."
His tone was already tinged with a hint of killing intent.
Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man kneeling at the front quickly said in fear, "Honorable Evil God, please let me explain! I am from the Fierce Tiger Gang, and I truly had no knowledge of the attack on the Blood Clan! It was a decision made privately by the vice leader! I have already brought him here tied up; you can deal with him as you wish! I just hope you and Lord Hades will not blame us, the Fierce Tiger Gang!"
After speaking, he waved his hand, and soon members of the Fierce Tiger Gang were pushing a man tied up tightly with ropes forward.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng’s smile only became more brilliant.
Even those behind him, including Long Qie, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
After shaking his head, Xiao Zheng asked, "Do you think I’m so easily fooled? To come up with such an excuse, you truly are a talent."
"Evil God! I swear I am not lying! You really have to believe me!" The leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang was almost on the verge of rushing over to hug Xiao Zheng’s leg and plead.
Moreover, just after the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang finished speaking, someone else in the crowd raised his hand.
What no one expected was that his excuse was exactly the same as that of the leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang, pushing all the blame onto the deputy. And it didn’t stop there — the third person, the fourth person...
The leaders from the various major forces seemed to have held a pre-planned meeting, as their excuses were identical.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng didn’t even know what to say, feeling as if his intelligence had been insulted.
Not only him, but also Long Qie and the others had expressions as if they couldn’t bear to look.
Xiao Zheng completely lost interest in talking to these people, turned to Hades and asked, "This happened on your territory. How to deal with them, you decide."
At his words, everyone’s gaze focused on Hades.
However, Hades’s response left everyone feeling as if they’d fallen into an ice cellar.
"Kill."
Hades said just one word without unnecessary talk, very much in line with her style.
Long Qie and the others couldn’t suppress their killing intent any longer. Upon hearing her decision, they immediately acted. Though the various major forces that came to plead were numerous, with Xiao Zheng and Hades present, they had no courage to resist.
In less than ten minutes, the battle was over.
The entire plaza was a river of blood!
After terminating the battle, Long Qie and others returned to their side with excitement on their faces.
Xiao Zheng swept his gaze over the crowd, then smiled and said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. Tonight, I will discuss with Hades to hold a grand celebration feast for you."
His decision elicited a cheer from everyone.
To hold a celebration feast within the Netherworld King Temple was undoubtedly an enormous honor for everyone.
Hades did not disappoint, nodding and saying, "The banquet can be held, but the battle is not over. Many have not come yet, and they will all face judgment."
Everyone knew exactly what she meant by judgment.
Brent and the remaining eight priests almost simultaneously stepped forward, then kneeled on one knee and said, "We are willing to fight for Lord Hades, please give your permission!"
With the stance of these nine people, the Blood Clan members all kneeled to volunteer.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Since everyone’s fighting spirit is so high, as allies, Sky Net will naturally not stand idly by. Long Qie, Brent, the next phase is still under your leadership. Endeavor to conclude the battle within three days!"
"At your command!" they responded in unison.
Thus.
That night, a grand celebration and expedition conference was held within the Netherworld King Temple.
By the next day, the army formed by Sky Net and the Blood Clan set out majestically from the Netherworld King Temple.
After three full days, all the families and forces that participated in the assault were purged, with no one spared!
This battle completely cemented the Blood Clan’s standing in Europe!
The Blood Clan replaced the Bright Church and took full control of Europe!
As for Hades, she was crowned king!
