Chapter 1000: The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Deputy Master

The six underworld halls had always centered around Ancient Underworld Hall. Now, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was going to take charge of this major investigation. This was an insult to Ancient Underworld Hall.

An insult that everyone in Ancient Underworld Hall was unable to accept!

Both the Ancient Underworld Hall Master and the members of Ancient Underworld Hall were staring at the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master Master angrily.

However, the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master Master merely huffed in response. Although his response was rather soft, it still made many powerhouses that were staring at the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master shudder.

A few peak Heavenly Venerate powerhouses nearly fell to the ground while cracks started to appear on their heads.

The Ancient Underworld Hall Master was equally furious about the proposal of the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master. However, what angered him even more was that the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master had actually attacked his subordinates.

He glared icily at the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master and said sardonically, “They are just juniors, Hall Master. Why bother arguing with them?”

“I’m not arguing with them. I just want them to know that they should maintain respect at all times.”

“Sagu, you have been a bit too lenient with your subordinates over the years. Otherwise, Ancient Underworld Hall would not have turned out like this,” the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master said.

The Ancient Underworld Hall Master had an urge to lambaste the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master. This detestable person really knew how to touch his sore spot!

He knew that arguing further would not reap any benefits at all, so he did not bother continuing.

After all, this kind of problem was too trivial for him to argue about.

“Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master, we have always listened to Ancient Underworld Hall. Although the Ancient Underworld Hall Master made some mistakes during this incident, Sagu shouldn’t be held entirely accountable.”

“Other underworld halls are equally responsible!” A scrawny being spoke up. Even though his voice wasn’t loud, it had the ability to convince everyone present.

Although the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, one of the six Hall Masters, rarely opened his mouth, his words always had great influence.

It could be said that even the Ancient Underworld Hall Master respected the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master most of the time.

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master frowned, as he was obviously uncomfortable with the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master speaking out.

However, it was difficult for him to stop the Sky Intellect Hall Master from speaking as well.

He had been elected as the new leader, so his best choice of action now was to keep silent.

“The words of the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, though not unreasonable, are in fact absurd.” The Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master did not disappoint the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. He pointed out the Sky Intellect Hall Master directly and said, “The main responsibility lies in the insufficient protection provided by Ancient Underworld Hall.”

“We didn’t say that Sagu should be stripped off his position because of this incident. We just wanted to let the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master take charge.”

“Now, the top priority of the Ancient Underworld Hall Master is to sort out the power within Ancient Underworld Hall and see if there are other loopholes inside.”

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master frowned slightly. Although he had many other thoughts, he had to admit that the Ancient Underworld Hall Master had really disappointed him this time.

Empty talk was useless, even though he had a glib tongue.

After a moment of hesitation, the Sky Intellect Hall Master finally shook his head.

This gesture seemed like nothing, but it was trying to tell the Ancient Underworld Hall Master that he should give up arguing about this matter.

After all, the tattered state of Burial Underworld Earth had already cost him greatly.

“Alright then. Since all of you think that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master can handle this matter, he shall be responsible for the investigation.”

The Ancient Hall Master added sternly, “However, I hope that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master can find the spies of the Human Race as soon as possible and will not disappoint the Mysterious Underworld Race.”

When the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master heard that the Ancient Underworld Hall Master would no longer argue over this position, he became happier.

After all, many things would fall in place like dominoes as long as he got this position.

“Sagu, don’t worry. I’ll do better than Ancient Underworld Hall!” the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master said firmly.

“Great, I await your good news,” the Ancient Underworld Hall Master said coldly.

As soon as he said that, he glanced at the three Saints who were still staring with hatred at Luo Yunyang and said, “Let’s go!”

The three Saints really did not want to leave, but the words of the Ancient Underworld Hall Master forced them to do so.

All three of them glared viciously at Luo Yunyang before walking away in disdain.

“Sky Martial, although you gained the upper hand on this matter, this is still related to the ancestral land of the Mysterious Underworld Race. Thus, I hope you won’t hold a grudge against Sagu and put all your effort into this matter.”

“Sky Intellect Underworld Hall will cooperate fully when it comes to this matter. Feel free to request whatever you need.” The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master did not leave immediately. Instead, he addressed the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master seriously.

Although the Sky Intellect Hall Master was an old trusted subordinate of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master did not dare be too careless when he heard that. Therefore, he replied, “Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, please rest assured that I will try my best to track them down and find all of them in the shortest time possible.”

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master nodded before turning to Luo Yunyang. “Nalanye, you just succeeded the inheritance of the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord. Although your cultivation is still only at the Taishi Yuan Venerate, your combat prowess is on par with a Taichu Yuan Venerate already.”

“Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. I hope you will give up the dispute with the three Saints for the sake of the Mysterious Underworld Race.”

“Saint Tengkong has already paid the price!”

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master was a wise man, but Luo Yunyang was not very interested in him. After all, he was not a member of the Mysterious Underworld Race.

He eyed the Sky Intellect Hall Master and said casually, “Nalanye will keep the Hall Master’s lessons in mind, but I think the Hall Master should have preached more of these righteous words to the Ancient Underworld Hall Master. Otherwise, his carefully-planned conspiracy against me for his own self-interest wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

“Hall Master, do you think what Nalanye just said is correct?”

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master looked at the unruly face of Luo Yunyang and shook his head gently. He possessed extraordinary wisdom and naturally knew the reason behind Luo Yunyang’s behavior.

If the Ancient Underworld Hall Master had not been the mastermind, Nalanye would never have picked a fight with the four Saints and they wouldn’t have ended up losing one of them.

Although the Saints held a significant status, their ability to fight had started to fade. Hence, he did not feel too unfortunate.

However, Nalanye’s adamant attitude really gave him a small headache.

He actually felt that the current situation was really unbearable.

Knowing that words alone couldn’t resolve this enmity, the Sky Intellect Hall Master shook his head gently and said, “I hope you can attach importance to the overall situation of the Mysterious Underworld Race. This time, the hidden force of the Human Race residing in our territories has reached a point we cannot ignore. Otherwise, something much more unpredictable will happen.”

Luo Yunyang looked on coldly as the Sky Intellect Hall Master left. Then, only the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and the others remained behind.

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master looked at the Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master and the others and said, “We have to thank the two Hall Masters for their strong support this time. That support won us this opportunity.”

“However, our current priority is to mobilize all our forces to track down the spies of the Human Race.”

When he said that, his eyes turned to Luo Yunyang and he said, “Nalanye, you have obtained the inheritance of the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord. Although your combat prowess hasn’t reached the Taichu Yuan Venerate level, you’re not far.”

“I’d like to invite you to become the Deputy Hall Master of Sky Martial Underworld Hall. Would you accept my proposal?”

Luo Yunyang was stupefied when he heard the title of the Deputy Hall Master of Sky Martial Underworld Hall. He had never thought that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master would make him the Deputy Hall Master.

The Sky Gold Underworld Hall Master and the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master were obviously surprised to hear what the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had said. However, they seemed like they understood his underlying intention.

For the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, the position of the Deputy Hall Master was nothing, but it meant a good deal to win Nalanye over.

After all, Nalanye’s cultivation had reached the peak stage of a Taishi Yuan Venerate.

Within Sky Martial Underworld Hall, some people stiffened up when they heard this suggestion, as they clearly disapproved of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s proposal.

However, in the end, they did not say anything. This was naturally because of Luo Yunyang’s amazing performance.

“Hall Master, I believe that my moral conduct is insufficient, so I’m asking you to withdraw your order.” Luo Yunyang hesitated for a moment before he replied.

He did not do so because he wanted to reject the offer to become the Deputy Hall Master, but because it would be best for him to act humble and reject the offer modestly first.

In all honesty, Luo Yunyang was somewhat surprised to be appointed the Deputy Hall Master of Sky Martial Underworld Hall. After all, he had only joined Sky Martial Underworld Hall for a short time.

However, being the Deputy Hall Master could bring him great benefits and even make him one of the most powerful people in the Mysterious Underworld Race. How could he reject such a good deal?

Sure enough, as Luo Yunyang had expected, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master chuckled and replied, “This is settled then!”
