Chapter 1874: Uptala Army

Minister Uptala and Minister Kalasutra went back to the city. Many people knew about the war already. Not long before, w.a.n.g Zhuo had died in battle, w.a.n.g 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. w.a.n.g Zhen had come back, too. He was furious. When the crowd saw how furious w.a.n.g Zhen looked, they understood that the war hadn’t gone well at all.

Minister Kalasutra and Minister Uptala had gone to war for w.a.n.g Zhen, they were supposed to help him take over that territory. w.a.n.g Zhen would have become a Minister that way. However, he had lost!

—

After w.a.n.g 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.

w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Zhen indifferently.

“You lost?” said the old man gloomily. w.a.n.g Zhen lowered his head, “Monsignor, Minister Uptala and Minister Kalasutra are way too arrogant. They let w.a.n.g 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 h.e.l.l, 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 w.a.n.g 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.

w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Zhen, trembling in fear.

“Go now,” said the man, making a shooing motion nonchalantly. He turned around and headed back into the palace. w.a.n.g 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 h.e.l.l. Even his descendants didn’t know how strong he really was.

w.a.n.g Zhen left and far away, he sensed a cold energy surround him. He turned around and saw w.a.n.g Xiao.

“Brother w.a.n.g Xiao,” w.a.n.g Zhen greeted him politely.

“Don’t call me that,” said w.a.n.g Xiao icily. “I’m asking you, who killed my son w.a.n.g Zhuo?”

w.a.n.g Zhen’s expression changed drastically. How unlucky! What a tragedy, today was so horrible. He had to give w.a.n.g Xiao an explanation, but he didn’t know how w.a.n.g Zhuo had died.

“Brother w.a.n.g Xiao, after we entered that territory, I asked Minister Uptala to take care of w.a.n.g Zhuo. However, later, they told me that he had been killed. I was furious at Minister Uptala and

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 w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Xiao. An ice-cold Qi surrounded w.a.n.g Zhen.

“The battlefields were divided into three, one for low-level h.e.l.l emperors, one for medium-level h.e.l.l emperors and one for high-level h.e.l.l emperors. w.a.n.g Zhuo followed Minister Uptala to the medium-level h.e.l.l emperors’ battlefield. Only medium-level h.e.l.l emperors could fight, so nothing should have happened to w.a.n.g Zhuo! I don’t know what Minister Uptala did. You can go and check, Brother w.a.n.g Xiao.”

“A bunch of nonsense!” shouted w.a.n.g Xiao furiously, “My son had my talisman! He could have made it explode to protect his life. Unless a h.e.l.l great emperor attacked him, he couldn’t have died. How could he die on the medium-level h.e.l.l emperors’ battlefield?”

“I also think it’s strange,” w.a.n.g Zhen agreed. He had already thought of that. If w.a.n.g Zhuo had faced danger, he would have broken the talisman or used a Great Imperial Weapon. However, he had been killed nonetheless.

“There’s another possibility.” said w.a.n.g Zhen suddenly as if he had thought of something.

“What possibility?” asked w.a.n.g Xiao.

“One of your people could have a.s.sa.s.sinated him!” proposed w.a.n.g Zhen icily. “Indeed, Minister Uptala came back alone with Lin Feng and Jian Mang. One of them is blind, the other one has just become a medium-level h.e.l.l emperor. How could they be strong enough to kill all those medium-level h.e.l.l emperors? How come they cooperated? Besides, Minister Uptala and Lin Feng are quite close, he takes care of Lin Feng. Lin Feng

Lin Feng even went back to Minister Uptala’s headquarters.”

w.a.n.g Xiao frowned. His son had died, and the matter was very strange, so anything was possible.

“Lin Feng and Jian Mang were the only survivors. Brother w.a.n.g Xiao, you have an inspection technique, if you inspect their memories, you’ll find out the truth,” said w.a.n.g Zhen.

w.a.n.g Xiao seemed pensive. He couldn’t do anything against Minister Uptala and Minister Kalasutra. Regarding Lin Feng and Jian Mang, he just needed an opportunity to attack them. After all, they were Minister Uptala’s guests. He couldn’t attack them openly.

However, his son w.a.n.g Zhuo had died. He had to try anything he could!

——

Lin Feng didn’t know what w.a.n.g Xiao and w.a.n.g Zhen were talking about. He was in Minister Uptala’s headquarters.

“Minister Uptala, we offended w.a.n.g Zhen. He’s one of Great Emperor Song’s descendants. Won’t they cause trouble?” asked Lin Feng to Minister Uptala.

“We’re in h.e.l.l. There are Ten Yama Courts. If we hold grudges against one another, then Great Imperial Song City will disappear. Lin Feng, you have to understand that strength is all that matters here,” said Minister Uptala. Great Imperial Song City was one of the ten cities of h.e.l.l. Strength was all that mattered. Anyone who was strong enough was respected. Lin Feng was such a person.

“Minister, do kings inherit their position of Ten Yama Courts’ king?” asked Lin Feng.

Minister Uptala looked at Lin Feng, smiled and shook his head, “Of course not. The position of Ten Yama Courts’ king is obtained thanks to strength. If someone becomes a peerless cultivator and defeats Great Emperor Song, then they’ll replace him. But n.o.body has tried to attack Great Emperor Song in thousands of years.”

Lin Feng was stupefied. Great Emperor Song had been one of the Ten Yama Courts’ kingsYama Courts’ kings for thousands of years? How strong!

“Of course, even though w.a.n.g Zhen doesn’t attack strong people, maybe he will try and attack you. After all, you offended him too. You have to be careful,” warned Minister Uptala. Lin Feng nodded, he knew that.

“Let’s go, Lin Feng. I’m going to show you around the Uptala district!” said Minister Uptala, smiling at Lin Feng. He took Lin Feng to several different buildings. After a short time, they arrived in front of a lake, and went into the water. There was a door there, it looked like an illusion. They crossed it and ended up in a courtyard. There was a pattern under Lin Feng’s feet.

Teleportation Deployment Spell!, thought Lin Feng looking at the marks of the pattern. The marks were Holy marks. After Minister Uptala conquered a territory, he had created a Teleportation Deployment Spell to go there easily.

“Let’s go!” Minister Uptala and Lin Feng rose up into the air. After a short time, they appeared above a beautiful watery world. There were many waterfalls and rivers. Lin Feng gazed into the distance and saw people wearing Uptala armor. They were seated cross-legged and practicing cultivation. Some of them fought against one another to practice. Some others talked about cultivation. Those people were also extremely strong.

“Those people are the members of the Uptala army. They work together a lot. They can fight against one another to compare themselves, and they can talk about cultivation. I also make them travel sometimes. Of course, if they want to stay alone, they can too. They help me control this part of h.e.l.l. People who are talented can join my army,” Minister Uptala explained to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded. This army controlled a part of h.e.l.l!
