Rebirth: City Sovereign

In the darkness of night, the old man known as the King of Hell opened his mouth and slowly exhaled. A heavy and hoarse voice slowly rang out from his mouth as he responded to the Giant Ancestor.    

Ye Ning who was at the side knelt behind the Giant Patriarch, raised his head, and in the pitch black space, he used his peripheral vision to size up the old man.    

On the stone chair behind the old man, a long black tube connected his body. Streams of spiritual energy flowed into the tube and into his body.    

This was the lowest level of the Underworld King Hall that was established underground. Other than the Giant Ancestor, Fox Ancestor, and the dead Sea Ancestor, the Underworld King Hall was a secret hall that no one else knew about, the Underworld King Pavilion.    

Even Ye Ning only found out today that there was actually such an underground space within the hall of the King of Hell, and what was even more unexpected was that there was actually such an existence in the underground space that could even make a great ancestor bow down before him!    

Before arriving at the Underworld King Pavilion, Ye Ning had already heard from the Giant Ancestor the general story of the ancient foreign race that lived in the Underworld King Pavilion.    

According to the Giant Ancestor, even before the establishment of the Hades Palace, before the exorcism of the mechanical Titan Clan to Earth, this ancient foreign race had already existed on Earth.    

On the surface, it looked like the three leaders of the different races, namely Sea Ancestor, Great Ancestor and Fox Ancestor, were controlling the Underworld King Palace. But in actuality, every crucial decision, including the Underworld King Exterminating Token, was made by this ancient being, and it was his own decision that allowed the hitman organization, the Underworld King Palace, to survive until today.    

No one knew the name of this alien. No one knew how he came to be on Earth, nor did anyone know exactly what race this alien from ancient times was. The only thing he knew was that the strength of this ancient alien far surpassed the three ancestors of the Hades Palace!    

After the establishment of Hades' Palace, this nameless foreign race was honored by the three ancestors of Hades' Hall as the Hades' Lord.    

Hearing the King of Hell's reply, the Great Ancestor remained silent for a long while, as if he was preparing to say something, and said with a complicated expression.    

"Ghost Mastering Sect lost."    

"Yeah, I know." Hades nodded as he replied. His voice reverberated in the dark space like the shrill and hoarse roar of a wild beast that had not been drinking water for days.    

The giant ancestor lowered his head and continued.    

"We had originally thought that the White-Clothed Sword Immortal had already died in the Heavenly Portal of Western God, and turned into a corpse. Who would have thought that not only did he not die, he even obtained some good fortune in the Heavenly Portal of Western God and forged a peerless divine weapon. His body also became an unstoppable Precious Body of Earthly Immortal."    

The Giant Patriarch did not know that the Precious Body of Earthly Immortal was obtained by Ye Kai from Yue Fei's grave on Earth. It was natural for Ye Kai to think that it was something that he had obtained from the Heavenly Portal of Western God.    

"With the death of Ghost Mastering Sect, the only ones left with any grudges against him are the Hades Palace."    

"Within the current China, there are still some remnants of the Ghost Mastering Sect that need to be eradicated by the White-Clothed Sword Immortal. Once those remnants are annihilated, the White-Clothed Sword Immortal will step foot into the hall of the King of Hell within two months!"    

"If we don't get rid of the White-Clothed Sword Immortal before then, and wait for the death of my Hades Palace, we will definitely end up in the same fate as our Ghost Mastering Sect!"    

Speaking to here, it seemed like the image of the Young Sect Master with Ghost Mastering Sect being killed by Ye Kai with a single punch appeared in his mind. The Great Ancestor stood up from the ground excitedly and shouted.    

"Lord King of Hell, please come out of your cultivation to eradicate that White-Clothed Sword Immortal to protect the prestige of our hall!"    

Hearing the Giant Ancestor say this, Ye Ning's heart sank.    

Although he wasn't born in the palace of the underworld, he still had a very deep sense of admiration for the great Ancestor. In Ye Ning's eyes, as an otherworldly being that came to Earth from another planet, the great ancestor's power was unquestionable.    

But such a Giant Ancestral Beast was actually kneeling on the ground right now, admitting its weakness and begging someone stronger to come out and deal with Ye Kai. This made Ye Ning feel really bad.    

"Yes!"    

Yama King did not directly reply to the giant ancestor's words. Instead, he slowly exhaled a thick layer of yin aura as he sank into deep thought.    

A few seconds later, the King of Hell's words made the hearts of the Giant Ancestor and Ye Ning turn cold.    

"Titan, I know what's going on."    

"But even the current me is not a match for that White-Clothed Sword Immortal."    

"What?!" The King of Hell's words were like a clap of thunder, exploding in the head of the giant ancestor and unable to calm down for a long time. In the midst of his shock, the Giant Demon Clan ancestor shook his head and shouted crazily.    

"How is this possible!?" Your Majesty is a rarely seen Ranker in the world. Even on Titan, I have never seen anyone stronger than you! "    

"Although that White-Clothed Sword Immortal is strong, he is not invincible. As long as Lord Hades is willing to come out, he will definitely …"    

The Giant Patriarch never thought that when Ye Kai went against the Sea Ancestor of the King of Hell Palace, his strength was only at a level of fifty percent of that of a half-step Earth Immortal Sea Ancestor.    

But in just a few months of time, Ye Kai's strength had actually already surpassed the highest existence in the entire Hades Palace!    

"Titan."    

Before the giant ancestor finished talking, Hades let out a cold voice, stopping the giant ancestor from continuing.    

The giant ancestor realized that he had lost his composure after being choked by Hades' cold voice. His right leg bent and his giant body kneeled down again as he spoke in a low voice.    

"My apologies, Your Majesty. It was I who lost my composure."    

"But, are we just going to watch as that White-Clothed Sword Immortal steps into our hall, and completely destroy the thousand years of heritage in our hall?"    

When he said those words, there was only one emotion left in the Giant Demon Clan ancestor's heart.    

Regret.    

He regretted it a lot. Why did the hall of the underworld oppose Ye Kai back then, and why did they do everything in their power to eradicate him. If they had stopped earlier, perhaps the situation wouldn't have become as difficult to turn as it was now.    

But who would have thought that the inconspicuous Ye Kai would, in such a short period of time, grow into an existence that even the Hades Palace could not deal with?    

Thinking of this, the Giant Demon Clan ancestor started to have thoughts of escaping.    

At this time, Hades let out a long sigh, calling out the Great Ancestor's name.    

"Titan, you still don't understand what I mean."    

"Huh?" Hearing Hades' words, the giant ancestor's expression froze as he subconsciously asked.    

"What I'm saying is that the current 'I' is not a match for that White-Clothed Sword Immortal."    

"What does Your Majesty mean?"    

You also know that I've been sleeping in this pavilion for thousands of years already. Before this, the reason for everything was because I had instructed all of you to take care of things in the hall.    

"I know, the spiritual energy on Earth is very thin, it's not enough to support Yama King using his full strength."    

"Mm, that's how it is. That's why I have been living in the lowest level of this hall, like an animal hibernating, entering the state of pretending to be dead."    

Just as the Giant Ancestor said, the stronger a race was, the greater their demand for spiritual energy would be.    

To humans, life only requires air, water, food, and spirit energy. However, the Titan Clan, fox like race, and the Sea Scale Clan, these modern foreign races need to replenish their spirit energy from time to time in order to maintain their normal bodily functions.    

For an ancient race like the King of Hell who existed before humans were born, spiritual energy was like air and water to humans. It was a necessity that required absorption at all times in order to survive!    

Hearing Hades' words, Ye Ning finally understood why Hades had so many spirit channels stuck in his body.    

This was because the moment he escaped from this spiritual energy transmission, Hades would die within a few minutes!    

At this point, the expressionless Hades actually started laughing.    

"This is truly ironic. Such a powerful person like me, due to the environment of the earth, is unable to cast any spells. I can only stay in this underground place without any sunlight in order to maintain my life."    

"However, all of this will completely change in a month's time!"    

As he said this, Hades' tone changed, revealing an expression the Giant Ancestor had never seen before.    

Her blue eyes flickered with an ecstatic light, and her face was filled with a crazed expression of violence.    

"At that time, let alone one White-Clothed Sword Immortal, even ten, a hundred, or a thousand would be crushed like ants in my hands!"
