Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 398 - 407: The Final Choice

For Xiao Mei, he was willing to endure all the suffering unimaginable to others, just to see Xiao Mei again and never part. As long as they could stay together, he was willing to pay any price.

And now, he feared separation, dreaded the familiar yet terrifying taste of the past millennium resurfacing.

"Xiao Mei, all this is for you, it’s all for you."

A’Niu’s voice roared low, while Xiao Mei on the other side smiled, a tragic smile, with tears rolling down her cheeks like pearls.

"If it’s because of me that the greater part of the Netherworld falls into ruin and destruction, then I would rather enter the endless hells, to endure endless torment, never to reincarnate!"

Xiao Mei’s voice was resolute, the determination in her eyes made A’Niu’s heart tremble. He knew that Xiao Mei was a woman who meant what she said, and for the truth in her heart, she was willing to sacrifice everything.

"Xiao Mei!" A’Niu extended his hand, about to speak, but Xiao Mei simply waved her hand to interrupt him.

"A’Niu, let go, I beg you, release all the souls in the Netherworld!"

Xiao Mei appeared to be pleading, and A’Niu closed his eyes, tears sliding down from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to heed Xiao Mei’s words, but armies had broken out, countless souls fought desperately within the cities of the Netherworld, in a brutal massacre.

Nowadays, most of the Netherworld was in his grasp. The ten Yan Juns, the Bodhisattva who manages the Netherworld, could only watch him eternally preside over hell, potentially becoming its ruler, a master of his own realm.

To let go now would render everything so far as mere empty talk. More importantly, the plans of the mysterious person behind him would all dissipate into nothing.

The countless souls who fought for him would also perish in the chaos of war—all for Xiao Mei’s words, a consequence he kept pondering.

"I know what you are thinking. Do you believe you are certain to win?"

Ye Ling stepped out. He knew that now was the time to add a fatal straw to A’Niu’s deliberating scales, tipping them towards letting go.

A’Niu looked at Ye Ling and sneered, "What about it? Do you still think the Netherworld has a chance? I’ll tell you, over half of the ten Yan Juns are dead or injured, and the Bodhisattva cannot return to the Netherworld. The entire Netherworld is nothing but loose sand."

"No one can save the Netherworld. So, if I wish it, the Netherworld will belong to me, and I shall eternally reign over hell!"

Ye Ling was stunned, then burst into hearty laughter, "Haha, you’re really amusing, you know. Your idea isn’t bad, it’s just a pity you’re a fool."

"You’re just a guy at the Golden Core Stage, and you want to reign over hell eternally? Aren’t you relying on the strong being behind you? What do you think you are?"

"Or do you really believe that the mysterious powerhouse behind you can permanently imprison the Netherworld? Let me tell you, the powers that be in the Heavenly Court have already begun to prepare to deal with this matter."

"A minor restriction can hold the Netherworld for a month, two months, half a year, but can it do so for a lifetime?"

"Impossible. And let me tell you, the Netherworld, born under the Heavenly Dao from the vast Chaos, governs the reincarnation and death of creatures from all six realms. It is impossible for it to fall into the hands of a force not permitted by the Heavenly Dao."

"So, the day that the powers in the Heavenly Court break the restriction is the day of your doom. As for the mysterious powerhouse behind you, they will certainly become ants under the overwhelming onslaught of the Heavenly Court, to be easily crushed!"

These words made A’Niu stun, his face went ashen. But soon he laughed, "Don’t try to scare me. I’m telling you, even if we lose, the Heavenly Court won’t have it easy."

"In the Netherworld, we have ten souls of the Great Immortal Rank stationed, and even more souls at the Tribulation Transcending Divine Infant stage than you could count. If you want your armies to invade, hehe, the price of mutual destruction, I reckon the Heavenly Court should seriously consider that."

The ten Great Immortals, innumerable powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcending, Divine Infant level, upon hearing this, Ye Ling was suddenly stunned. Damn, the rebel forces are quite substantial.

The mysterious strong man has now wiped out all the elite warriors of the Netherworld, leaving only a few second-rate strong men who fled in a panic. Under this power, any strong man could be suppressed.

However, Ye Ling shook his head. "Heh, delusional guy, if you want to send Xiao Mei to her death with you, then just keep going down this path."

"This woman has waited for you for a thousand years, longed for you for a thousand years, and now that you have returned, you actually want to take her down a road of no return to death. I really don’t know whether you love her or hate her."

With these words said, Xiao Mei also spoke up, "A’Niu, I am willing to accompany you to death, to walk a path that would make us enemies of the entire world. But the path you’re taking now, it’s simply impossible!"

"Promise me, let go, okay? Just lift the restrictions that sealed the entire Netherworld, and release the thousands of souls of the Netherworld, promise me!"

Xiao Mei held A’Niu’s hand and spoke passionately. A’Niu looked at Xiao Mei and was momentarily speechless, while Ye Ling took Qing Yi by the hand and walked out. However, before leaving, he left a sentence behind.

"I promise you, if you agree to lift the restrictions of the Netherworld, I will allow you and Xiao Mei to reincarnate and become husband and wife in the next life, forever bound together!"

Ye Ling dropped a heavy bomb, then waved his hand to set up a terrible barrier to protect Qing Yi’s courtyard, before hiding with Qing Yi in a corner nearby.

Qing Yi looked at the courtyard, then at Ye Ling. "Ye Ling, what if A’Niu doesn’t agree?"

When Ye Ling heard this, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he laughed coldly. "If he doesn’t agree? Then he’ll become just a hostage in my hands, nothing more."

No matter what, A’Niu could no longer return. Ye Ling was confident he could fight his way out amidst various encirclements. By holding on to A’Niu, he could make them hesitate to act rashly.

An hour later, Ye Ling suddenly laughed and stood up, pulling Qing Yi to her feet. "I think, we have a result."

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi became conflicted. What would A’Niu’s choice be?

Ye Ling waved his hand to remove the barrier, and then entered the courtyard. At that moment, Xiao Mei was nestled in A’Niu’s arms, A’Niu’s face showing a contented smile, tightly holding the woman in his arms.

"A’Niu, from now on, I don’t want to be separated from you ever again, never again!" Xiao Mei murmured, yet her tone was amazingly firm.

A’Niu nodded and stood up when he saw Ye Ling arrive, his expression serious. "I can lift the ban if you want, but you must promise me one thing." Explore hidden tales at novelbuddy

"Speak, as long as it’s not unreasonable," Ye Ling nodded. He was willing to agree to any demand to lift the ban, and of course, it was like haggling over the price of vegetables.

A’Niu nodded. "That ban was laid by the mysterious person behind me. He has never trusted me, and I know he’s using me as a pawn."

"But I’ve kept a trick up my sleeve. I can open one restriction. I don’t have the power to break the entire barrier, and once you open the restriction, I want you to promise not to slaughter the spirits who rebelled with me."

"They chose this path because they followed me. I can die, but they cannot. If you agree, I will remove the restriction."

Ye Ling smiled. "Don’t worry, you don’t have to die, and they don’t have to either. Everyone serves their own master. I promise you this."

"However, you have to lure out that mysterious guy for us," Ye Ling also put forward a requirement.
