1120 He Has the Say
When the woman suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, the others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. No one dared to move or make a sound.
At this moment, a few even more handsome men walked out of the entrance. Be it strength or status, these people did not look simple. When they saw Ye Jiushang, they only bowed briefly and did not kneel.
“Nether King, why are you so angry the moment you return? Be careful not to scare everyone.”
“I don’t know when the Nine Nether Holy Land allowed women to enter and leave as they pleased. Could it be that while I was not around, the rules of the Nine Nether Holy Land have changed?” Ye Jiushang questioned coldly. Then, he looked at the woman he had crippled and continued speaking, “Who is this woman? And who allowed her to enter the Nine Nether Holy Land? She’s even so unruly as to reveal her anger and killing intent in front of me. Does she want to kill me or does she want to kill my people?”
When the woman lying on the ground in extreme pain heard Ye Jiushang’s words, she cried and begged for mercy. “Nether King, I am Duanmu Qian of the Duanmu family. We have seen each other in the past. Please forgive me this time on account that we have met each other before.”
Although she had only seen the Nine Nether King once, this single meeting left a deep impression on her. Her heart skipped a beat and she even swore to become the Nine Nether King’s woman.
But who knew…
“I don’t remember when I’ve seen you, so don’t try to get close to me. I hate it when women try to get close to me. You’re from the Duanmu family, so it should be Duanmu Cun who let you enter the Nine Nether Holy Land. Pass down my orders. From now on, no one from the Duanmu family is allowed to step foot in the Nine Nether Holy Land, including Duanmu Cun. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy. Remove Duanmu Cun’s identity as a Holy Envoy and expel him from the Nine Nether Holy Land.”
No one dared to question Ye Jiushang’s orders, nor did they dare to disobey. After all, he was the Nine Nether King and the master of this place. He had the final say here.
However, the Duanmu family only had themselves to blame for having such an outcome. They clearly knew that the Nine Nether Holy Land did not allow women to enter and leave as they pleased, but Duanmu Cun still let his younger sister in. He simply had a death wish.
Although the Nine Nether King had been outside for more than 200 years and there had been no news about him for more than 200 years, it did not mean that others could do whatever they wanted in the Nine Nether Holy Land.
The Duanmu family relied on Duanmu Cun’s status as a Holy Envoy of the Nine Nether Holy Land to constantly try to push Duanmu Qian to the Nine Nether Holy Land. They even wanted Duanmu Qian to become the mistress of the Nine Nether Holy Land, but in the end, they went for wool and came home shorn.
The luck of the Duanmu family had come to an end.
When Duanmu Qian heard Ye Jiushang give such an order, she was dissatisfied. Even if she could not see, she questioned him sternly, “Nether King, what did our Duanmu family do wrong that you have to treat the Duanmu family like this? My brother has always been loyal to you and has done his best for the Nine Nether Holy Land. You can’t treat him like this, you can’t treat the Duanmu family like this.”
“If he were loyal to me, he wouldn’t violate the rules of the Nine Nether Holy Land and stuff his younger sister in. If he did his best for the Nine Nether Holy Land, he wouldn’t have let his younger sister taint the Nine Nether Holy Land. Using power for personal gain is a heinous crime. I’m already merciful enough not to take his life. As for you… How dare you have designs on me and dream of being the mistress of the Nine Nether Holy Land? Now I’ll make it so that you do not even have the right to daydream.”
“No, don’t… Nether King, I know my mistake. I beg you to let me off. I can be your slave, I…”
“Someone, throw this woman who has tainted the Holy Land out. Announce to the public that the Duanmu family will no longer have anything to do with the Nine Nether Holy Land. Let everyone in the Holy Region know what the outcome of the Duanmu family’s wishful thinking is.” Ye Jiushang could not be bothered to waste time on Duanmu Qian. In the end, he gave an order and turned his attention to Xue Fanxin. However, when he faced her, he could be as gentle as water. “Are you frightened?”
Seeing such a gentle Nine Nether King, everyone present was stunned.
Was this still the Nine Nether King they knew?
The Nine Nether King did not like women. He really, really did not like them. It could even be said that he hated women. That was why the Nine Nether Holy Land had a rule that women were not allowed to enter and leave as they pleased.
But who could tell them what was going on?
