Chapter 1004: Slaughter And Purge

Sky Martial Underworld Hall's prestige stood tall and awe-inspiring!

Sky Martial Underworld Hall had, for a long time, been suppressed by Ancient Underworld Hall. In the opinion of the Mysterious Underworld martialists, Sky Martial Underworld Hall's presence was rarely felt.

After all, Ancient Underworld Hall was basically the decision-maker for most major events in the Mysterious Underworld Race. Although the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had climbed up the hierarchy quickly, his reputation had always been under the shadow of the Ancient Underworld Hall Master's prestige.

However, after Deputy Hall Master Nalanye went all berserk and started to arrest suspicious martialists by throwing them into the Sky Martial Prison, many martialists became extremely jittery.

They were afraid that they could be arrested by Sky Martial Underworld Hall martialists at any moment.

Most of the people who were interrogated and tortured were very unlikely to come out of the Sky Martial Prison alive. Thus, the reputation of Sky Martial Underworld Hall soared.

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master shook his head gently after seeing what Sky Martial Underworld Hall had become. Even though he hadn't wanted to come, he'd had no other choice.

"Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, an old friend is here to pay you a visit. I hope you'll meet me." The voice of the Sky Intellect Hall Master spread throughout the entire Sky Martial Underworld Hall instantly.

"Ha ha ha... It is an honor for me to have the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master here. If I remember correctly, this is the first time in 100,000 years that the Sky Underworld Intellect Hall Master has arrived at the gate of Sky Martial Underworld Hall!" The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master walked with a bright smile, but the words he said were extremely sharp.

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master certainly recognized the slight resentment in the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master's words. He immediately smiled and deliberately acted like he was unaware. "I'm ashamed of myself, Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. I was too busy in the past, but here I am now, right?"

Although the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was not very fond of the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master was still a Hall Master of the six underworld halls and had the same status as him.

Hence, even though he did not like the Sky Intellect Hall Master, he still had to put up a happy front.

"Ha ha ha... Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, you're too kind. It is Sky Martial Underworld Hall's honor that you could be here! Ha ha ha!"

The Sky Martial Hall Master gestured as he told the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, "Hall Master, please come with me."

After sharing some casual chatter, the two hall masters took their seats. The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master pondered for a moment before raising the subject. "I wonder how the tracking down of the human spies that you are in charge of is going?"

"Human spies are really cunning. We haven't caught their mastermind yet. However, we have arrested a lot of accomplices."

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master added, "The Ancient Underworld Hall Master is a piece of trash. It's atrocious how he managed to allow our territories to fall in such a sorry state."

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master did not argue with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master even though he felt annoyed by this filthy underhanded behavior.

He knew that it would be a wasted trip if he argued with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. Therefore, after pondering it a little, he said, "The Mysterious Underworld Race's territories are too vast. It is not easy to control everything."

"Ha ha ha! Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, you are obviously exculpating Sagu. I know that you are good friends with him, but doing so isn't going to do you any favors!"

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master's tone was placid, but there was a hint of condemnation in it.

Although the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master felt very uncomfortable, he still smiled and said, "I am just judging the matter as it stands. This time, I came to visit you mainly because I wanted to ask you to think twice before acting in the future!"

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master lowered his voice. "Although we urgently need to track down the spies of the Human Race, we cannot act too rashly and cause widespread indignation and resentment!"

"Sky Martial Master, I'm afraid you don't know this yet, but just three days ago, Deputy Hall Master Nalanye led his subordinates and slaughtered every member of Saint Tengkong's family!"

"Nearly 100,000 powerhouses of the Mysterious Underworld Race were slain by him in just a short time. This has truly made many of our people panic!"

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master frowned slightly. "Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, I have known about this for a long time."

"Are you trying to say that Deputy Hall Master Nalanye is using his status to take revenge for his private affairs? Well, I must say that this is not a massacre of innocents or any personal vendetta. The investigations on the human spies indeed traced them to Saint Tengkong's family."

"Do you know how secret of an event it was for us to hold the succession for the inheritance of the Second Ancient Yuan Underworld Lord? There aren't really many people that know about it."

"Our six underworld halls have extraordinary control over our disciples, so they can be ruled out. But what about the four saints?"

"They also knew about it and were more likely to reveal this matter to their disciples inadvertently."

The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master put out his hand to stop the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master as he was about to say something. "I know what you are going to say, but I do not doubt the four saints. I also think that the possibility of betrayal from the four saints is very minute."

"However, there is one thing you should pay attention to," the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master said coldly, "I am referring to the disciples and descendants of the four saints. There must be an infiltrator from the Human Race amongst them."

"Deputy Hall Master Nalanye also investigated them according to my orders."

"You should know that it is not easy to hunt down the spies of the Human Race, so those who dare to resist should be treated as spies!"

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master looked helpless. Although he had also thought about this possibility before coming, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master's courageous words of justice still made him a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. The issue with Saint Tengkong's family is a matter of the past. Now, can we use a gentler approach to track down the human spies?

"Otherwise, I am afraid the Mysterious Underworld Race will fall apart before the human spies are caught."

"You wouldn't hope that Ancient Underworld Hall and Sky Martial Underworld Hall would compete under such circumstances, right?"

The Sky Martial Hall Master was an extraordinary figure. Thus, he laughed and said, "I am one of the six Hall Masters and I definitely don't want to start a war amongst the six underworld halls."

"I can agree to your request, Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master. Let Deputy Hall Master Nalanye go easy from now on."

"However, my stance is clear. We can go soft but we can never relax when dealing with our enemies. I also hope you can tell Sagu not to cover up for his disciples too much."

The Sky Intellect Hall Master nodded and said, "Of course."

"In the future, I will make the Mysterious Underworld martialists involved surrender to Sky Martial Underworld Hall as long as you can produce any sort of evidence for your suspicions. Please do not make a move at will if there is no evidence."

"After all, this would be a mess for the Mysterious Underworld Race both internally and externally. It really isn't the time to go to war amongst ourselves."

The conversation between the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master was not as harmonious or satisfactory but it did solve some problems on the surface.

While seeing the Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master off, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master said, "Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master, although Sagu has a great cultivation, I believe that he is somewhat insufficient to lord over the six underworld halls. I think that it's time for us to change the leader of the six underworld halls."

"You, for example, would definitely do better than the Ancient Underworld Hall Master if you were put in charge."

The Sky Intellect Underworld Hall Master chuckled. "Thank you for your respect, Sky Martial Hall Master. I know that I am not suitable. Ha ha... I'm better off doing my old job, to be honest!"

The Sky Martial Hall Master watched coldly as the Sky Intellect Hall Master left before muttering to himself, "How meddlesome..."

However, he still informed Nalanye via the Endless Underworld to be extra careful and moderate their next few missions while tracking down the human infiltrators.

Luo Yunyang had gained plenty of glory by using the strength of Sky Martial Underworld Hall as he slaughtered his way through the entire Mysterious Underworld Race.

However, he had still failed to make Ancient Underworld Hall and Sky Martial Underworld Hall clash despite nearly killing all the disciples of Saint Tengkong. This had really disappointed Luo Yunyang.

Similarly, this also made Luo Yunyang realize deeply that what he had done hadn't reached the boiling point of their patience yet.

Ancient Underworld Hall had been silently enduring this all this time.

Sky Martial Underworld Hall was executing his plans with great momentum due to the incident in Burial Underworld Earth. However, the advantage he had would disappear once this matter subsided gradually.

Without the advantage, it would be difficult for Sky Martial Underworld Hall to challenge the position of Ancient Underworld Hall.

Although the two of them would still be at odds, this would not have much influence on his status in the Mysterious Underworld Race.

Did he really have to find something that would infuriate both sides more?

In Luo Yunyang's opinion, killing the saint's descendants was already his limit. Furthermore, the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master had even handed down that order.

However, Luo Yunyang was not willing to let the matter drop. He drummed his fingers on the jade table a few times before a wild idea came to his mind.

"Men, bring the confession of the external official of Saint Tengkong's family to Ancient Underworld Hall and demand that they hand over the person stated inside!"

Luo Yunyang's command excited many people in Sky Martial Underworld Hall immediately. They had been held back by Sky Martial Underworld Hall for a long time to avoid venting their anger on Ancient Underworld Hall. Thus, they were very angry with them.

This time, heading to Ancient Underworld Hall to demand the suspect was the best opportunity for them.

"Deputy Hall Master, I am willing to go!"

"Deputy Hall Master, I have some issues with a martialist from Ancient Underworld Hall. Please let me make this trip!"

"Deputy Hall Master, I also want to go to Ancient Underworld Hall and join in the fun!"

This command caused quite a commotion. Hence, Luo Yunyang ordered two Sky Martial Underworld Hall martialists with ninth-level Universe-Grade cultivation to head over to Ancient Underworld Hall.

When he issued the order, the clone embodiment of Blue Lotus Daozi also turned into smoke and headed for Ancient Underworld Hall.
