Villain Cultivator

Chapter 512 – Agents of Netherworld Realm

"Who are you?"

Liu Guang frowned as she stared at the visiting stranger, who suddenly barged into her palace in Xiangyang City.

Just now, the city had suffered from a mysterious earthquake. Many structures were destroyed, and her soldiers were buried under the debris of collapsed buildings.

Liu Guang had no time to breathe. She received this stranger first before the latter could cause more trouble.

The visitor was an immortal harpy, a bird-like demi-human. Her arms were bird wings while her legs were the same as hawks. As for her upper torso, she looked the same as an ordinary woman on earth. The harpy only wore a set of gold bikinis and trinkets, but each piece emitted the aura of an immortal-grade artifact.

The harpy woman swiped her drool, resisting her urge to devour Liu Guang's insect bodyguards in the palace. She coughed and stated her purpose.

"Your husband's supporter, Her Majesty Lilith, is giving you the honor of migrating to the Netherworld Realm. Follow me obediently, or I will have to take you there by force."

"…"

Guo Jia and Sima Yi looked back and forth between their master and the visitor. They thought that the immortal came to bully them, but they maintained their composure.

As strategists, they always looked for opportunities to exploit the situation for Liu Guang. But this time, schemes could not compete against an immortal's absolute authority and power.

Both strategists had the urge to advise Liu Guang to contact Miaomiao. However, the harpy came with an unbelievable claim.

If this harpy's boss was Miaomiao's backer, they couldn't rely on Miaomiao's connection anymore.

"Alright. I'll go with you. By the way, can I bring my subordinates with me?"

"Bring as many as you want. But for you, you'll be coming with me first. I'll come back and pick them up later."

"Cool."

Liu Guang sighed as she followed the harpy into a strange portal.

…

Nero, the guardian of Miaomiao's wives, was in a bad mood. As he had been loitering on the Holy Land Continent below the tournament island, he had failed to save Sun Wentai when the incident occurred. The dragon currently flew over the Holy Land Continent, searching for Immortal Qin Clan's men.

When the tribulation occurred, he was not affected since the pressure couldn't harm him. However, it still annoyed him to the point that he had to summon a soul domain for self-protection.

After the tribulation followed Miaomiao out to the void, Nero planned to resume the search.

Unfortunately, a couple of minutes later, a dragonewt appeared before him.

The demon dragonewt woman was also a high-rank deity, working directly under Lilith as one of her aides. She also carried the half-blood of an evil dragon and a legendary demon, blessing her with both races' traits and power.

Nero had met her once when he was young. This woman was actually his mentor, who had taught Nero various techniques, including dream manipulation techniques that he taught Dian Wei.

Seeing his mentor, Nero lowered his head.

"Master Levy?"

Levy was her nickname. As for her real long name, she never allowed anyone to use it as she refused to inherit her father's glorious name.

She had two demonic horns, lustrous black spike scales, grey skin, dark red pupils, a long thick dragon tail, and a dragon head. She also wore white full plate armor, made from a sinister compound element material from the Netherworld, the Unholy Semen of Jealousy.

Leviathan, one of the seven Primordial Demons, who was a colleague of Asmodeus, was her father! She also inherited his name after her father had perished during the Seven Sin Sovereigns Calamity, which occurred after the Player Calamity.

As for Leviathan and Asmodeus' backgrounds, it would be a story for another time.

"Nero, Her Majesty has given me her decree. We must bring Mao Miaomiao's families and followers to the Netherworld Realm. Also, this planet shall become one of her collections. Do not resist and come with me."

"WHAT?!"

Nero was shocked. He never expected his mentor's master, the Legendary Queen of Netherworld, to make a move so soon.

"Don't waste my time, Nero. Quickly, come with me. You don't want to offend her, or she will imprison you in THAT! Do you want to stay at the same place as Clem?"

"That homicidal cannibalistic bitch? Hell to the no! I'd rather die than being jailed at that place!"

"Good," Levy patted Nero's head, and both of them vanished from the mortal world.

…

In the hotel outside of the tournament stadium, an array had been erected to protect the buildings. Yet, glass windows were all broken, and electric appliances were all busted.

Residents and workers of this hotel were injured from the sound wave and the sudden pressure of negative karma strands. Weak workers fell into comatose while stronger residents were busy running around, helping the injured.

As for hotel guests, they were not in a good shape.

Weak disciples from the Ten Path of Nirvana Sect took the hit from the collateral damage as well. Even Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and many others fell unconscious.

Jiang Lan and the yin slaves were in better shape, but they also suffered from internal injuries. They drank the Unified Element Spring Water and rushed to help the others, feeding the same water to the disciples.

The women and elders ran around in frantic, panicking if the disciples might not make it through the ordeal.

Fortunately, the elixir of Siren City was effective. After drinking a sip of the liquid, their internal injuries were healed.

Everyone survived, but they still needed time to recuperate.

However, before they could even catch their breath, a group of ten strange women appeared. All of them were immortals with weird physiques and appearances.

A sphinx little girl, whose body features were similar to Mao Xueyan's, stood in front of the group. However, she resembled a lion instead of a snow leopard or a white tiger. In addition, her height was as short as Jiang Lan's waist.

She looked like a grade-schooler girl, whose age didn't exceed 7!

The group leader wore a cute dancer cloth of an ancient Egyptian, but no one dared to mock the immortal. Each piece of garment was either immortal-grade or divine-grade, which was superior to the yin slaves' equipment.

The captain of the immortal squad stared at Jiang Lan. She pointed her finger at her.

"You! With me! Come!"

"???"

"All, with me, follow! Not follow, kill!"

Strangely, the captain spoke in a broken language, but it was understandable.

Since the other party downright threatened them, Jiang Lan had no choice but to take up arms.

"Stop, Jiang Lan."

Ju Chen grabbed Jiang Lan's arm and pulled her back. She shook her head, telling the gang leader not to provoke the immortals.

Ju Chen walked forward and cupped her fist, "We surrender. Please don't harm us or these children."

Jiang Lan and others turned to Ju Chen, rebuking her with their expression.

Ju Chen glanced at them for a moment and proceeded to ignore everyone. She turned to other subordinates of the sphinx immortal.

"Also, I would like an explanation. Could you please?"

An adult blue slime woman behind the sphinx walked forward. She apologetically smiled at Ju Chen and returned the salute.

"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Her Majesty the Queen Lilith would like to extend her invitation to you to the Netherworld Realm. Your husband, Mao Miaomiao, is currently working for her. Therefore, we are working under the same banner. Our people hold high regard for his achievements and contributions to the underworld, so we have decided to bring you to a better place to a better environment to nurture you."

Ju Chen frowned. She had heard about Devil, Joshua, OG-Buddha, Kunwu, Sun Wu, Monkey King, Sun Crow, Hongjun, and a few god's names. But Lilith wasn't one of them.

"Excuse me, but, where is my husband?"

"He's transcending a tribulation at the moment. Her Majesty is also nearby and is giving him a hand."

"I see."

Ju Chen turned to other elders, disciples, and colleagues. She gestured for them to comply with their demands.

Jiang Lan and others nodded. They helped the weak disciples to follow these immortals into a strange portal.

…

Meanwhile, Sun Bofu, Huang Gongfu, Wu Guotai, and the people of the Sun Clan had been weeping, crying for the death of Sun Wentai.

Gan Xingba and the Qiongqi cub also attended the funeral, which was held in a hotel meeting hall. None of them was even bothered by their lingering injuries from the previous commotion as the death of Sun Wentai hit them hard.

The funeral was simple. The corpse was put into a wooden coffin on a pedestal, and everyone got to kowtow or bid farewell to him one last time before the body would be incinerated.

"He's a good man," Gan Xingba bit his lower lips.

The cub nodded, "Yeah. He's annoying, but he cared about us."

Gan Xingba patted the cub's head and wiped the latter's teardrop.

The one that was in pain the most was Wu Guotai. She was holding her stomach as she gazed at the coffin.

She was pregnant!

"I'm so sorry, my dear. I just…"

Wu Guotai couldn't come up with the right excuse. She cried and while she sat on a chair.

She wanted to tell him that she was pregnant, but she couldn't as she hadn't slept with him for over a year.

The child was not his baby!

As for the true father, only Wu Guotai and Miaomiao knew.

Her subordinates, maids, and followers panicked and fetched her a new handkerchief.

Since nobody knew, everyone thought that Wu Guotai was bearing Sun Wentai's unborn child. The scene felt even more tragic.

While everyone was in sorrow, a woman with the terrifying presence of a mid-tier deity strolled into the funeral hall. She came here in her black knight armor suit, carrying a knight helmet in her arm, showing respect to the relatives of the dead.

The uninvited visitor resembled Lilith for her long ears, dark skin, and her gorgeous face. But instead of having black sclera, she had ordinary eyes and brown pupils.

The dark elf woman in the knight's plate armor walked to the coffin and lighted incense sticks.

"Death is not the end but a new beginning. May your soul find salvation and peace in the next life!"

The dark elf bowed to the coffin and put down the incenses. Then, she turned to Wu Guotai and others.

"My name is Lilim, the First Princess of Netherworld Realm. Samsara has died, and Sun Wentai's remnant soul falls into the jurisdiction of my mother. We shall protect him and ensure his peaceful reincarnation."

Everybody in the hall stopped making noise. They widened their eyes and stared at Lilim.

"R-Really?"

Sun Bofu stood up and rushed to Lilim's side, "Who killed my father?! Do you know the murderer?!"

"BOFU!!"

Huang Gongfu pulled Sun Bofu back and pushed his head down to apologize, "We're deeply sorry. Our kid is uneducated! Please forgive him!"

"I don't mind," Lilim waved her hand and looked at Sun Bofu. "What will you do if you know about the murderer's identity?"

Sun Bofu raised his head and shouted, "I'll kill him. I'll slaughter his entire family, chickens, and dogs! He will pay!"

"Even dogs and chickens, you say?" Lilim sighed and shook her head. She had seen so many angry youths, and Sun Bofu was no different to them.

Still, Lilim knew a few tricks to motivate and persuade the Sun Clan to follow after her to the Netherworld Realm.

"The one behind this murder is Immortal Qin Clan's Emperor, Qin Shi Huang! He's a deity just like me. Do you think you can avenge for your father with your meager strength?"

Sun Bofu gritted his teeth, "Then, I'll get stronger!"

"How will you get stronger, then?"

"I… I…"

Sun Bofu stuttered for a moment. Suddenly, he had an inspiration.

He knelt and slammed his head to the ground, kowtowing to Lilim.

"P-PLEASE TAKE ME AS YOUR DISCIPLE!!"

Huang Gongfu and other clansmen were shocked, "WHAT?!"

Lilim smirked. She laughed at Sun Bofu in her mind that this youth was too easy to trick. Moreover, getting another faithful vessel or a disciple was never a bad thing.

"Good. I'll take you in as my disciple in-name for now. You will have to prove yourself through your talent and determination before I can acknowledge you as my disciple. Are you alright with that?"

Sun Bofu raised his head and kowtowed again, "SON BOFU GREETS MASTER LILIM!"

"…"

The Sun Clan's members were flabbergasted by the development. None of them managed to utter a word.

Huang Gongfu bit his lower lips. He wished that Zhou Gongjin was around to stop this madness.

Unfortunately, Zhou Gongjin was a tournament participant. He was still resting in the stadium, avoiding trouble from the outside world.

Lilim helped Sun Bofu up and turned to the other clansmen, "You may bring your family and subordinates to the Netherworld Realm with me. Go and pack your belongings. I will wait for you here. I don't mind if I have to wait until the funeral is done."

"Yes, master!"

Sun Bofu wiped her face and rushed to his mother. Then, he went out to fetch the other disciples of the Ten Path of Nirvana Sect in his division.

…

Aside from the contestants of the tournament, Lilith's subordinates easily reeled in Miaomiao's men to the Netherworld.

Lilith watched the development with her divine sense. She smirked and turned to the clump of karma threads.

Next, she would personally persuade Miaomiao to ditch Devil to join her side so that they would end Kishin Douji's madness together without Devil's help!
