Chapter 1874: Uptala Army (1/2)
Chapter 1874: Uptala Army
Minister Uptala and Minister Kalasutra went back to the city. Many people knew about the war already. Not long before, Wang Zhuo had died in battle, Wang Xiao had gone insane and destroyed many buildings.
“Minister Uptala and Minister Kalasutra have suffered heavy casualties, things don’t look good for them…” said some people when they saw the two Ministers come back. Wang Zhen had come back, too. He was furious. When the crowd saw how furious Wang Zhen looked, they understood that the war hadn’t gone well at all.
Minister Kalasutra and Minister Uptala had gone to war for Wang Zhen, they were supposed to help him take over that territory. Wang Zhen would have become a Minister that way. However, he had lost!
—
After Wang Zhen came back, he immediately headed to the private district since he was a descendant of Great Emperor Song. Even people with privileges couldn’t go there freely.
Wang Zhen looked glum. He went to a certain palace and waited outside, not daring to enter.
After a short time, an old man appeared. His hair was white and he had wrinkles everywhere, but still managed to look fearsome. He glanced at Wang Zhen indifferently.
“You lost?” said the old man gloomily. Wang Zhen lowered his head, “Monsignor, Minister Uptala and Minister Kalasutra are way too arrogant. They let Wang Zhuo die and in the end, we had an opportunity to conquer that place, but they didn’t want to let me control it, so they abandoned me. They don’t care about us Great Emperor Song descendants.”
“In order to be a Minister in Hell, you need to be a man of virtue and honor. The Ministers, and especially Great Emperor Uptala, would never try to do anything to harm you. Minister Uptala even controls the strength of the ten thousand things of creation. He doesn’t try to harm people on purpose. They would have never harmed Wang Zhuo, either. If you failed, it means you’re not suitable to become a Minister. From now on, don’t come here anymore,” said the man calmly.
Wang Zhen started trembling violently, and his face turned deathly pale. He was in the central part of Great Imperial Song City, this place was the symbol of the city. From now on, he couldn’t go there anymore, he perfectly understood what that meant!
“Monsignor!” protested Wang Zhen, trembling in fear.
“Go now,” said the man, making a shooing motion nonchalantly. He turned around and headed back into the palace. Wang Zhen’s heart was pounding violently. That old man was even more powerful than what the legends said about him.
He was the only one who could see Great Emperor Song. Seeing Great Emperor Song was extremely difficult even for Ministers!
Great Emperor Song was one of the Ten Yama Courts’ kings, one of the ten great leaders of Hell. Even his descendants didn’t know how strong he really was.
Wang Zhen left and far away, he sensed a cold energy surround him. He turned around and saw Wang Xiao.
“Brother Wang Xiao,” Wang Zhen greeted him politely.
“Don’t call me that,” said Wang Xiao icily. “I’m asking you, who killed my son Wang Zhuo?”
Wang Zhen’s expression changed drastically. How unlucky! What a tragedy, today was so horrible. He had to give Wang Xiao an explanation, but he didn’t know how Wang Zhuo had died.
“Brother Wang Xiao, after we entered that territory, I asked Minister Uptala to take care of Wang Zhuo. However, later, they told me that he had been killed. I was furious at Minister Uptala and Minister Kalasutra. Then, they abandoned me and refused to continue helping me conquer the area, I was forced to leave the small world and came back alone,” said Wang Zhen coldly. He was trying to blame everyone else for all those problems.
“What you mean is that you don’t know how my son died?” asked Wang Xiao. An ice-cold Qi surrounded Wang Zhen.
“The battlefields were divided into three, one for low-level Hell emperors, one for medium-level Hell emperors and one for high-level Hell emperors. Wang Zhuo followed Minister Uptala to the medium-level Hell emperors’ battlefield. Only medium-level Hell emperors could fight, so nothing should have happened to Wang Zhuo! I don’t know what Minister Uptala did. You can go and check, Brother Wang Xiao.”
