I Am Overlord

Chapter 494: I Won't Keep You Around Then

Gulp!

Both the old Emperor and the red-haired youth made the same noise.

Inwardly, they cried out in alarm, An Emperor Realm shadowmark was killed so easily?

They both felt a chill creep up their spines, the previous calm expressions on their faces nowhere to be seen.

"Do you want that to happen to you as well?" Xiang Shaoyun asked indifferently.

At this moment, Xiang Shaoyun viewed himself as a saint. Otherwise, why would he be so kind toward these two? Why would he have saved the Han Clan sisters repeatedly? Of course, the two before him would definitely disagree. They were right to disagree, though. A person who sliced an Emperor's head off and smashed it with a stomp without hesitation was definitely no saint.

"Brother, th-there must have been some misunderstandings between us," said the old Emperor awkwardly. He added, "I have a stalk of devil leaf lotus here. Please accept my gift, my friend."

"I have a stalk of devilflame snake vine here. Consider it a compensation from me for wasting your time," said the red-haired youth.

They had no choice but to show some sincerity in their attempt to preserve their lives.

"Are your lives so cheap?" Xiang Shaoyun asked while rubbing his nose.

He would not be able to face himself if he did not take a large bite at this piece of meat practically right before his mouth. The old Emperor and the red-haired youth did not seem too happy, but they did not dare to show any temper here.

"Young brother, I am an elder from the Dark Devil Sect," the old Emperor reminded. The Dark Devil Sect was rather influential in the Bloodsin City. He believed that his identity would buy him some respect.

"So what? This is the Devil Domain," said Xiang Shaoyun with a shrug. "Cut the nonsense. Take out any treasures you have to buy your own lives. Otherwise, you can stay here forever."

The old Emperor was so furious he felt like coughing blood. He had never expected that a puny King would dare to threaten an Emperor like him, yet he was completely helpless about it.

"Haha, you are right, young brother. This is the Devil Domain, and nobody will find out how you die. Apart from the devilflame snake vine, I also have a few devilish emperor medicines and some devil crystals and devilish energy stones with me. You can have all of them," said the red-haired youth as he took out the treasures he had harvested from the Devil Domain.

"Smart choice." Xiang Shaoyun did not press on as he had a feeling this youth was much scarier than the old Emperor.

Why was that? Because he could sense that this youth was only a fourth-stage Emperor, yet in the Nether Soul Domain, he could sense that this youth was not weaker than the old peak seventh-stage Emperor. If a person like that started fighting with his life on the line, the Nether Soul Domain might not last. Thus, Xiang Shaoyun knew when to stop.

"How about you, old man? Do you have something to say?" Xiang Shaoyun asked with a smile.

The old Emperor grew even more annoyed when he saw Xiang Shaoyun's smile. However, he had no choice but to really take out something of value. After all, he could always earn more wealth in the future. His life was more important. Thus, he did the same and took out a pile of treasures he had harvested from the Devil Domain.

"This should be enough, right?" said the old Emperor indignantly.

In the past, whenever he revealed his identity as an elder of the Dark Devil Sect, nobody would dare to touch him. This time, it didn't work. But when he recalled the domain's prowess, his courage dropped.

After stowing away all the treasures, Xiang Shaoyun smiled. "That will do, I guess. Alright, you may leave. I won't be keeping you around then."

As he said that, the Nether Soul Domain vanished. The moment the Nether Soul Domain vanished, the old Emperor and red-haired youth quickly distanced themselves from Xiang Shaoyun, worried that he would pull them into his domain once again. That sensation of being completely suppressed was not something they wanted to relive.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly cupped his hands and saluted them. He said, "Goodbye!"

He then dashed toward a different direction.

"What kind of luck do I have to encounter someone like this?" grumbled the old Emperor unhappily as he returned to the second layer.

As for the red-haired youth, after a short hesitation, he chased after Xiang Shaoyun. When Xiang Shaoyun sensed the pursuit, he stopped, turned, and asked coldly, "Are you regretting your previous choice?" historical

The red-haired youth waved his hands and smiled. "No, not at all. I only wish to be your friend. My name is Ouyang Chuanqi, from—"

Xiang Shaoyun did not give him the chance to finish his sentence and said, "I don't care who you are. Nor am I interested in being your friend. Please leave."

Ouyang Chuanqi blanked out for a bit before grinning. "I guess it has been too presumptuous of me."

He then left.

Inwardly, he wondered, That is the Nether Soul Domain, but this fellow clearly has the aura of a human without an ounce of the Imperial Nether Clan's aura. He is definitely of mixed blood. But the Imperial Nether Clan has always considered themselves a high-class race and has always looked down on humans. Why would there be someone like this, then?

Ouyang Chuanqi had only tried to befriend Xiang Shaoyun out of curiosity. Unfortunately for him, Xiang Shaoyun did not seem to care much for his friendship. That caused him to feel rather gloomy. His name was extremely well-known among the younger generation, yet Xiang Shaoyun had no idea who he was. He even started wondering if he was as well-known as he had thought.

But he subsequently recalled that Xiang Shaoyun was only a King and was related to the Imperial Nether Clan. It wouldn't be weird for someone like this to not know him. He stopped thinking too much about it and started returning to the second layer as well.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was in a good mood after obtaining a pile of treasures from the two. These treasures were rather valuable to him, as they would be useful for increasing the overall strength of the ghostrunes.

Before long, he reached Meng Gansu and the Han Clan sisters. The three had been waiting not far away from the entrance and had not been attacked by any devils.

"Master!" Meng Gansu stepped forth and greeted.

The Han Clan sisters asked at the same time, "Are you fine, Xiang Shaoyun?"

Xiang Shaoyun nodded at Meng Gansu, then looked at the Han Clan sisters and smiled. "Do I seem like I'm not fine?" He then asked Meng Gansu, "I thought the third layer was filled with Devil Emperors? You didn't encounter even one of them?"

"Master, there won't be too many of them near the entrance. But if you go in slightly deeper, you will encounter a lot of them," said Meng Gansu.

"I see. If that is the case, you should stay here. I will explore around," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Don't you want us with you?" Han Xuewei was getting anxious.

She had completely fallen for Xiang Shaoyun and did not wish to part with him.

"I'm going to hunt some Devil Emperors to earn some contribution points. If you come, you will only slow me down. If you want to stay alive, just stay here with Old Meng. I will bring you out after I return," said Xiang Shaoyun seriously.
