Chapter 874 - A Gentle Smile (1/2)

Around the pale skeleton palace, the many humans' expressions turned grim and Fu Li shouted in disbelief. "You are telling me that you brought nothing with you and you expect me to gift you the Third Prince Mu?"

Zhong Yue nodded and said calmly, "Not only am I here to ransom him back, but I also want you all to surrender and serve Xian Tian Palace."

Mu Suge's face turned pale right away and he complained in his heart, We're doomed! How can Mister Yi be so reckless? He came with no valuables, wanted to ransom me and even try to make these barbarians yield? We are all going to die here today!

Fu Li was so angered that he burst out laughing mockingly while the others all got furious. Fu Shan raised his sword, pointed it towards the oil pot and grinned, "Brat Yi, do you see that pot over there? How about I fry you in it?"

"Oh? But with my Heavenly Deity's body, I'm afraid that mere oil won't harm me at all."

Fu Shan replied with a cold smirk, "This oil is not as ordinary as you may think. It is extracted from a demon race's Imperial Emperor. The fire it's burning on is the heavenly fire we harvested from the ancient universe's core! A Creator wouldn't even last a second in it, not to mention someone like you! Men, bring me the prince and we will start with him so that this little Yi boy here can see the power of our oil!"

A few wild humans got up, dragging Mu Suge towards the pot and hurled him inside.

Mu Suge shrieked right away and after a moment, the wild humans extracted him from the pot but Mu Suge continued screaming in pain.

However, as a Creator, he survived the frying and his powerful body allowed him to shed his skin and regenerate again.

Zhong Yue's expression changed and he praised, "Impressive."

Another muscular woman said, "This pot will give you an unforgettable nightmare! Did I tell you that we also have special techniques for ripping skin? After ripping your skin off, we will remove your veins and tendons, making sure that you are alive the feel the pain every step of the way. Come, bring me the prince and let's show this little brat about our techniques!"

Zhong Yue's expression changed right away and he immediately stopped them, "There is no need for that, I've witnessed your powerful pot and oil. I know how powerful you all are now. There is no need for such extreme measures anymore."

Hearing this, Mu Suge, whose heart was on the verge of giving out, suddenly calmed down.

Fu Li then raised his bone clubs and said, "Then how do you plan on dying? Pick one, Mister Yi."

Zhong Yue laughed and said, "Humans, you are all nothing but pawns! You know nothing about your imminent annihilation and still, live your life without care! If I die right here, I will have all of you to come with me and I think that is an honor for me! If that happens, I can't imagine just how embarrassed you all are to go see your Fuxi Celestial Race's ancestors in the heaven!"

Mu Suge's heart pumped quickly again and he wanted to break free from his restraints to stop Zhong Yue from speaking.

Just as he thought, Fu Li's expression became extremely terrible and he said, "Little brat, I have no idea if we are going to be doomed or not but there is one thing that I know, you are doomed right now! Men, bring him here and fry him up!"

Immediately, two wild humans grabbed onto Zhong Yue and dragged him towards the pot.

Zhong Yue however, kept his cool and he said, "I have a big plan. Not only can it allow your humans to escape your imminent destruction, but it will also allow you to recover and reclaim your ancestors' glory. You bunch of barbarians, I guess you deserved what's coming."

"Fry him up!" shouted a wild human with his bone shield raised up high.

"Fry him! Fry him" shouted along with the many human magnates as they all held their simple weapons up highly.

Suddenly, an old voice sounded, "Halt, let go of him."

The two wild humans let Zhong Yue down, who then patted his clothes and looked at an old man with grey hair that sat on the skeleton throne not far away. This old man donned a leopard fur robe and his skinny fingers plunged deep into the eye socket of the skull on the handles.

The old man said mightily, "Let him speak and we'll decide if we'll fry him or not."

Zhong Yue laughed and said, "The humans still have reasons it seems."

"What do you have to say?" asked the old man.

Zhong Yue walked up and said, "Of course I have something to say. You've wandered around the universe in constant fear that you will be annihilated by your foes and in the end, you fled into the ancient universe and became humans. The other Fuxis scattered all over the 3,000 Six Paths World, and lived unremarkable lives where they were treated as nothing but food by the celestial and demon races."

The humans immediately groaned at his words.

Mu Suge on the other hand, was in shock and he trembled as he prayed that Zhong Yue would stop angering these humans.

Zhong Yue continued, "I, an innate god from my previous life, was reborn into the human race and I was lucky enough to be favored by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. I am now in charge of 8,000 Fuxi and along with them, we served under Imperial Emperor Xian Tian to aid him in his conquest. If he succeeds in ascending to the throne, he promised me a high position where I am above everyone but him."

"How is that related to us?" grinned the many wild humans.

With a smile, Zhong Yue replied, "Why is everyone so short-sighted? Can't you see a little bit further? Think of it, I am a human too! Once I reach that position, I can free you from your slavery! Besides, with that wise thinking of the Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, he is bound to become the Son of Heaven-the Heavenly Monarch. By then, do you still need to frustrate yourselves over how to lift the bloodline seals in you?"

The many wild human leaders looked at each other silently and this was when Fu Li questioned angrily and seriously, "Mu Xiantian? Who do you think he is? The current Heavenly Monarch, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming is much stronger than him! Compared to Heavenly Monarch Di Ming's proper bloodline, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian's is just one without proper heritage."
