Chapter 379: His Majesty, the Underworld King
Looking at Zhong Mo as he walked in, everyone quickly and respectfully greeted him.
“We greet His Majesty, the Underworld King!”
Generally, when battles of their level and scale reach a stalemate and require reconciliation, it is best to find a sufficiently important mediator to preside.
This ensured that both parties signing the reconciliation agreement would more honestly abide by its terms.
His Majesty, the Underworld King, was undoubtedly the mediator they had invited.
“Mm, sit down.”
Zhong Mo replied indifferently, his expression remaining unchanged from beginning to end, making it impossible to discern his mood.
For a moment, the one-eyed young man was also uneasy.
“Your Majesty, the Underworld King, is that Luo Ji your subordinate?”
Hearing this, Zhong Mo remained expressionless.
His gray-white eyes flickered slightly as if he were contemplating something.
“Forget it, consider it repaying a favor.”
Thinking this, Zhong Mo spoke again.
“Sort of. What happened to him?”
As soon as these words left his mouth, the one-eyed young man’s heart immediately sank.
Meanwhile, the group led by the snake-man across from him openly showed undisguised malicious glee in their eyes.
Those scoundrels were definitely laughing their heads off internally.
In fact, it was true.
How dare they provoke someone under His Majesty, the Underworld King? Clearly, they hadn’t witnessed the might of the Undead army, acting as if they were tired of living, in every sense of the word.
As thoughts raced, the one-eyed young man braced himself and roughly explained the situation he knew.
After listening, Zhong Mo calmly uttered an “oh,” and then, there was nothing else.
However, in this situation, how could the one-eyed young man not know what to do?
Disregarding the fact that he was currently in front of Zhong Mo, he quickly sent a message to his junior, Wang Dong, telling him to immediately stop his suicidal behavior.
He had just praised him for being worry-free, yet this one move almost caused a disaster!
Upon receiving this message, Wang Dong’s heart instantly grew cold.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered the message Luo Ji had sent him earlier, saying that his senior was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.
Oh my god, it was actually true!
Wang Dong wanted to cry but had no tears.
Not to mention him, even his senior, who was known as the Lord of the Seven Seas, couldn’t afford to provoke His Majesty, the Underworld King!
Now, he suddenly felt awkward.
Although he hadn’t uttered any arrogant threats earlier to avoid being slapped in the face, Luo Ji’s identity had now, in a way, surpassed his own.
How was he supposed to smooth this over?
Thinking this, Wang Dong couldn’t help but tap his forehead.
Finally, he just bit the bullet and sent a message.
“The matter has been clarified. We are all family, and it was all a misunderstanding.”
“This matter ends here.”
“I wonder if Brother Luo Ji is interested in joining our Zongheng Tianxia? We can look out for each other when support is needed at critical moments.”
After sending it, he didn’t wait for a reply and immediately convened an alliance meeting.
He explicitly stated, in his capacity as the leader, that unless they were in battle and unable to disengage, every member of Zongheng Tianxia had to attend, otherwise, they would be kicked out of the alliance!
Players within the alliance, including the leader and co-leaders, generally maintained a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, so such clear mandatory orders were rare.
Many alliance players, upon seeing Wang Dong’s message that tagged everyone, undoubtedly realized that something big was about to happen and responded quite promptly.
Almost all the alliance members, including Liu Ye and Wang Congjie, the two co-leaders, showed up.
As for the few who didn’t come, whether they were in battle or doing something else, Wang Dong wasn’t in the mood to care about them.
He needed to clarify things with the players who were present, to prevent them from causing any more trouble.
“Li Yuanjie is dead…”
Wang Dong began, immediately announcing Li Yuanjie’s death.
When Li Yuanjie was alive, he had only added Wang Dong as a friend.
In other words, no one else in the Zongheng Tianxia Alliance knew that Li Yuanjie had died until now.
Wang Dong’s announcement immediately caused a huge stir.
No one had expected that Li Yuanjie was dead, and even worse, he died at the hands of a newcomer who had only risen to the Bronze tier a few months ago!
However, before everyone could be shocked for long, Wang Dong, seated at the head, unhesitatingly dropped another bombshell.
“The matter of targeting Luo Ji ends here. All operations are to cease.”
At this, before the other players present could react, Liu Ye was the first to explode.
“Why?!”
As soon as he asked “why,” Liu Ye realized it himself.
That’s right, Li Yuanjie was the strongest Bronze-tier player in their alliance, by common consensus.
If Li Yuanjie had fallen, how much chance would other Bronze players have if they went to attack?
Realizing this, Liu Ye quickly changed his tone.
“Then at least allow me to kill Luo Ji and avenge my cousin when the time is right!”
Liu Ye’s phrase “when the time is right” undoubtedly referred to when Luo Ji rose to the Black Iron tier.
Clearly, Liu Ye planned to act personally then.
Hearing this, Wang Dong felt a headache coming on.
He immediately put on a sincere expression and said,
“Liu Ye, listen to my advice. This is for your own good. Don’t insist on seeking revenge on Luo Ji anymore.”
Liu Ye’s entire expression clearly froze at this.
He had originally thought that if Wang Dong didn’t allow other alliance members to go, he would at least allow Liu Ye himself to seek revenge.
He had never expected the other party to say such words.
“Why? I need a reason!”
At this moment, not only Liu Ye but also a large number of players, including Wang Congjie, who had always been at odds with Liu Ye, were somewhat confused by Wang Dong’s meaning.
Seeing this, Wang Dong couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.
His current heaviness was not entirely false, after all, he had also lost Li Yuanjie in this wave, which was a huge loss.
“That Luo Ji, he is a subordinate of His Majesty, the Underworld King.”
A single sentence instantly stunned everyone present.
Among them, Zhao Nan and Lin Leshi, who were seated below, broke out in a cold sweat upon recalling their actions a while ago.
Now that they thought about it, it was fortunate that they had both stayed hidden behind the scenes and hadn’t directly acted, otherwise, they would definitely be dead.
The same went for Yan Sheng, who was sitting in the corner.
Fortunately, he had kept a low profile afterward and hadn’t gotten involved again.
Ignoring what the Bronze-tier players below were thinking, Wang Dong’s gaze focused on Liu Ye.
If possible, he didn’t want to lose Liu Ye, his Black Iron-tier assistant.
As thoughts raced, Wang Dong immediately spoke again.
“Even if you seek revenge on him, what then?”
“When His Majesty, the Underworld King’s army arrives to support him, who can save you besides those few equally renowned individuals?”
“Be sensible, we can’t afford to provoke him.”
“Just forget about this matter.”
The cruel reality was like a bucket of ice water poured over Liu Ye, completely sobering him up.
He indeed wanted to avenge his cousin, but that didn’t mean he was willing to sacrifice his life for it.
Well, at this moment, he backed down.
“I understand. This matter ends here.”
