Chapter 873 - Shocking Overlord Rights (1/2)
”Teacher, how did you know?” Jiang Fei was stunned by Ou Yezi's reaction. Based on Jiang Fei's capabilities, there was no way he could have killed Huang Xie. Why was Ou Yezi so certain that Huang Xie was dead?
”Ah! From the moment you departed, I knew that Huang Xie would die with certainty!” Ou Yezi said after taking a sip of alcohol. ”Based on his personality, I knew that he would sacrifice himself for your sake when he saw the Cauldrons of the Ancient Kingdom you possess.”
”Uncle Huang was right. You know him the best.” Jiang Fei sighed.
Ou Yezi knew from the start that Huang Xie was not the kind of person who would commit such a huge crime for his own benefit. However, Ou Yezi could not openly challenge the Human race's authority. Therefore, he only spoke generally that all men fell prey to their own greed. He also added that Huang Xie's words might not have been entirely false which was what he truly believed in.
”Let's go! We can't let your uncle die in vain!” Ou Yezi stood up. He seemed to have really drunk a lot.
”Teacher, are you alright?” Jiang Fei immediately held Ou Yezi up.
”It's better if I'm drunk…” Ou Yezi smiled bitterly as he teleported himself and Jiang Fei away.
”Go in to meet with the Lord on your own. I won't be going in…” When they arrived at the big palace, Ou Yezi did not seem to want to enter. Instead, he asked Jiang Fei to enter on his own. Clearly, he was still affected by Huang Xie's death and currently held a grudge against Lu Fu.
”Alright.” Jiang Fei nodded as he turned around and said to Ou Yezi, ”I promised Uncle Huang that if I succeed in the Quest Against the Heavens, I will make sure everyone knew the part he played.”
”Hehe! I have indeed chosen the right disciple!” Ou Yezi said as he smiled.
Although Jiang Fei possessed many of the cauldrons, he was still only Ou Yezi's disciple. It was impossible for him to convince everyone that Prince Wu Geng had wrongly blamed Huang Xie. However, if he one day succeeded in the Quest Against the Heavens, he would be the new Lord. It would be extremely easy to change everyone's opinion then.
As Ou Yezi walked away shakily, Jiang Fei began walking into the big palace.
”Lord, please show yourself!” Jiang Fei shouted loudly.
Buzz!
A white light flashed as Lu Fu appeared behind his desk.
”Greetings, my Lord!” Jiang Fei bowed respectfully.
”You may stand. Did you complete your quest?” Lu Fu asked.
”Yes, I am glad I have not failed you,” Jiang Fei said as he retrieved Huang Xie's Soul Mark.
”Hmph!” Lu Fu snorted as he released a beam of golden light which hit the Soul Mark in Jiang Fei's hand. The Soul Mark was instantly crushed into pieces.
After destroying Huang Xie's final trace in the world, Lu Fu sighed as his anger dissipated. He then said to Jiang Fei, ”Verdure Glider, you have done well! You have completed my Tier Challenge Quest!”
”Ding! Tier Challenge Quest - Defeat the Villain, completed!”
”Ding! You have acquired the status of an Overlord!”
”Ding! You have obtained a new skill - Overlord's Might!”
”Ding! You have obtained a new skill - Overlord's Special Rights!”
”Ding! You have obtained a new skill - Overlord's Benefits!”
