2650 Edict of the Hell Lord
Someone else had arrived!
When they heard that voice, the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges relaxed significantly.
Against the enraged King North Ridge, the ten Territorial Lords felt immense pressure as well.
Even if the ten of them joined forces and could suppress King North Ridge, they would definitely have to pay a heavy price and half of them might even die on the spot!
None of the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridge wanted to die at the front.
When that voice sounded in the hall, the thousands of Hell King experts of the ten great Hell Ridge consciously avoided it and opened up a path.
A group of cultivators entered the hall slowly.
Compared to the formation of the ten great Hell Ridges, the auras of the new cultivators seemed much weaker. After all, there were only slightly more than ten of them.
However, all the factions of the North Ridge were shocked when they saw the cultivators.
All the cultivators had a strange rune on their glabellas!
The Ancient Nether race!
More than ten Nether Kings arrived at the main hall of the North Ridge Palace!
Although Hell Kings and Nether Kings were of the same cultivation realm, the difference in strength between them was extremely great.
In terms of physique and bloodline, the Ancient Nether race was far superior to ordinary living beings of Hell!
When he saw the dozens of Nether Kings, King North Ridge's pupils constricted and his heart skipped a beat.
A look of realization flashed through the eyes of the young master of the South Forest.
He finally understood why the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges would join forces fearlessly and even declare that they wanted to annihilate the Tang family of the North Ridge.
So, the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges were backed by the Ancient Nether race!
Under normal circumstances, most of the Ancient Nether race cultivated in the Central Capital and would not be too far away from the Frost Springs.
It was clear that these Ancient Nether race beings were from the Central Capital as well!
The person who presided over the Central Capital was Hell Lord Frost Springs!
Ancient Nether race beings from the Central Capital were here to join forces with the Territorial Lords of the ten great Hell Ridges to annihilate the Tang family—was this the intention of Hell Lord Frost Springs?
If that was the case, he could not get involved and had to withdraw in time lest he implicated the South Forest and brought about a calamity for his father!
At that thought, the young master of the South Forest stood up hurriedly and bowed to the dozens of Nether Kings. "Actually, I was merely interested in a marriage alliance with the North Ridge. However, this matter has yet to be decided."
"Since such a change happened to the North Ridge, I think we can only put aside the marriage alliance for the time being."
As he said that, the young master of the South Forest gave Hell King South Essence a look.
The envoys of the South Forest withdrew from their seats one after another and drew a clear line between them and the factions of the North Ridge.
"You!"
Tang Qing'er looked at the young master of the South Forest in disbelief, shocked and furious.
The young master of the South Forest merely glared at her coldly and did not say anything to her the entire time.
The reason why he wanted a marriage alliance with Tang Qing'er was because he was keen on the power of King North Ridge.
But now that the Tang family of the North Ridge was about to be annihilated, wouldn't he be courting death if he joined them?
"Good, good, good!"
King North Ridge was so angry that he laughed instead. He looked at the young master of the South Forest and grinned. "Little b*stard, you sure have fast reactions!"
"The wise recognize their circumstances."
The Nether King in the lead was not old and had an indifferent expression. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Ming Feng and I'll become the new King North Ridge."
"You think that a few of you Ancient Nether race beings and the ten great Hell Ridges alone can replace me?"
King North Ridge was fearless and said slowly with a ferocious glint in his eyes, "If I fight to the death, I won't let you guys have a good time even if I die!"
"I've managed the North Ridge for 100,000 years and have thousands of Hell King experts under my lead. It's not something you guys can shake with ease!"
"I forgot to mention."
Ming Feng took out a cloth from his storage bag. "I've also brought an imperial edict from Hell Lord Frost Springs. Anyone who resists will be enemies with him and their family clans and anyone related by ten degrees of association will be annihilated without mercy!"
The moment he said that, the experts under King North Ridge were stunned.
These Hell King experts had followed King North Ridge for many years. If they were only facing the ten great Hell Ridges, they would not be afraid or retreat under the lead of King North Ridge.
However, now that they were up against Hell Lord Frost Springs, many Hell King experts no longer had any intention of resisting.
Hell Lord Frost Springs ruled over the entire Frost Springs Hell.
Although the Hell World was in the Dharma Ending Era and the world was shattered with an incomplete Great Dao and Hell Lord Frost Springs was merely a Nether King, no one could challenge his status.
Right from the beginning, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not say anything and merely enjoyed the wine brewed in Hell, as though everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The current situation was gradually becoming clearer.
On the side of King North Ridge, after Ming Feng took out the imperial edict of Hell Lord Frost Springs, their morale was already low and no one dared to resist.
Even if King North Ridge was indignant, he was merely a cornered beast and could not change anything.
At that moment, King North Ridge seemed to have aged considerably in an instant as he stood on the ground filled with corpses.
"Forget it, forget it."
King North Ridge was silent for a long time before shaking his head. "Since it's the will of Hell Lord Frost Springs, I'm… willing to accept it. From now on, I'll leave the North Ridge."
"No, no, no."
Suddenly, Ming Feng smiled. "You're mistaken about one thing. The edict of Hell Lord Frost Springs merely gave others a choice."
"However, the only outcome for the Tang family of the North Ridge is extermination!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Qing'er and the others from the royal family looked despaired.
King North Ridge was enraged as well as he clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress the rage in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I'm willing to withdraw, but you guys insist on exterminating us?"
"If my Tang family of the North Ridge were to fight you guys to the death, you guys won't have it easy either!"
"Your Tang family of the North Ridge?"
Ming Feng smiled. "From this day forth, the Tang family will cease to exist in the North Ridge."
"Oh, right. You're waiting for him, right?"
As Ming Feng said that, he took out a bloodied head from his storage bag and threw it in front of King North Ridge.
That head belonged to Tang Hao who died with grievances!
As a Hell King expert, Tang Hao was killed silently in the North Ridge Palace!
At the sight of Tang Hao's death, King North Ridge could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.
He also knew that he had no way out!
"I'll make you pay with your life for my son!"
King North Ridge roared and rose from the skies. He withdrew a gigantic pitch-black saber and slashed down at Ming Feng's head!
Splash!
King North Ridge did not hold back at all and released his powerful blood qi. At the same time, he propped up his Grotto-heaven and wanted to kill Ming Feng on the spot!
"Fufu…"
Ming Feng chuckled with a mocking expression. "You overestimate yourself."
Behind Ming Feng, another Nether King appeared in a flash. While holding up his Grotto-heaven, he released his Bloodline Phenomenon!
The Grotto-heaven of this Nether King was dark, deep and sinister.
There was even a phenomenon accompanying the Grotto-heaven!
A gigantic Frost Springs gushed out like a torrent that emitted a chilling intent and devoured towards King North Ridge!
It was the innate Bloodline Phenomenon of the Ancient Nether race, Hell Frost Springs!
Crack! Crack!
A layer of frost appeared on King North Ridge's Grotto-heaven when it was struck by Hell Frost Springs. Countless ice shards formed both inside and outside the Grotto-heaven.
