Chapter 382: In A Pickle (Part 1)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wang Mang was dumbfounded.

He had never expected that the Lord of the Eighteen Hells would come knocking on his door. Realizing the potential danger, Wang Mang’s joy from his sudden increase in strength immediately vanished.

In fact, Wang Mang was feeling a little flustered. The Lord of the Eighteen Hells was a land Immortal, and was ranked within the top three on the global ranking list of experts.

He was on the verge of panicking. What should he do? He definitely could not defeat a land immortal. Hell, why did the system even bother giving him options?

There was no way he could fight the latter, much less kill the Lord of the Eighteen Hells. If he angered the Lord of the Eighteen Hells, he would end up being pursued all over again!

“System, I choose Mission 1!”

Ding! Congratulations! Obtained 5 billion evolution value!

Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Golden Treasure Chest xi!

Honestly, Wang Mang hated crappy rewards like these, but there was no choice in this situation.

If he acted rashly, he would end up dead!

With this thought in mind, Wang Mang did not waste any more time and prepared to lead his subordinates out.

When Wang Mang arrived outside the cave, he found that all his subordinates had arrived.

The four demon emperors from the New Frontier Province, the Black Dragon Emperor, the three great demon kings, and the Old Turtle in the reservoir. “Greetings, Master!”

Upon seeing Wang Mang, everyone greeted him respectfully.

Hearing this, Wang Mang nodded slightly and said, “Stone Emperor, Flower Emperor, Black Dragon Emperor, the three of you will follow me.”

“The rest are all free to move around in the province.”

“When I’m not around, I’ll leave the tiger, buffalo, and goat demons to guard the cave.”

“In addition, Old Turtle, you can continue to watch over the reservoir. If there’s danger, hide.”

“Yes, Master!”

Upon hearing Wang Mang’s order, his subordinates nodded respectfully.

After that, other than the three demon emperors that Wang Mang had named, the rest of them returned to their tasks.

Then, he turned to the Stone Emperor, Flower Emperor, and Black Dragon Emperor and said, “Follow me!”

Wang Mang’s massive body immediately sprouted eight enormous wings.

However, just as he was about to soar into the sky, Wang Mang suddenly sensed a terrifying aura coming from afar.

Raising his head abruptly, Wang Mang saw a cloud of black mist in the distance heading toward him. Within that black mist, he could also see a familiar figure.

Within the black mist was the Dog Emperor who had just parted ways with Wang Mang not long ago!

At this moment, the Dog Emperor was struggling in the black mist, but it was useless.

Seeing this, Wang Mang was stunned.

The Dog Emperor was actually captured?

Could it have been caught by the Lord of the Eighteen Hells?

Seeing that he was short on time, Wang Mang quickly ordered, “You guys go to Yang Gui town first. When 1 arrive, I’ll come looking for you.”

“Yes, Master!”

The Stone Emperor, Black Dragon Emperor, and Flower Emperor nodded and left.

After all, seeing the terrifying expert coming from afar, they were also panicking.

Therefore, they fled at maximum speed.

Wang Mang was speechless.

However, Wang Mang did not blame them, because if they stayed, they would not be of any help to him.

On the contrary, it might even become a burden or a worthless sacrifice.

That being said, Wang Mang did not choose to flee immediately.

On one hand, he was buying time for his three subordinates to escape, while on the other hand, he was simply not afraid.

If he used World Walk, he could even reach a speed of more than 60,000 kilometers per hour, and was thus confident in his ability to escape, even from a land immortal.

At this moment, the Lord of the Eighteen Hells descended from the sky and appeared in front of him.

The three-faced, six-armed Lord of the Eighteen Hells, who was three meters tall, was strangling the Dog Emperor like a plaything.

His face was ferocious and terrifying, and his eyes were cold and indifferent as he looked at Wang Mang.

“Take them out! Don’t force me to make a move.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang looked at the Lord of the Eighteen Hells and asked in confusion, “What might you be referring to?”

Although Wang Mang knew what the other party was here for, he would never admit it, especially since he had already consumed all of the heavenly treasures.

Seeing that Wang Mang was pretending not to know anything, the Lord of the Eighteen Hells’ indifferent eyes gradually turned scarlet, and his aura became even more terrifying.

This made Wang Mang more vigilant. The moment the other party made a move, he would flee immediately.

As for the Dog Emperor, who was now completely at the mercy of the Lord of the Eighteen Hells, although Wang Mang sympathized with the Do Emperor, there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, the Dog Emperor begged, “Brother Python, save me!”

“We’ve known each other for so long.”

“I’ve never done anything to let you down!”

“You can’t just leave me in the lurch!”

He looked at the dog emperor’s tearful and terrified expression helplessly.

The problem was that Wang Mang really could not hand over the stuff now. Thus, he straightforwardly said, “Lord of the Eighteen Hells, even if you want me to take out so many heavenly treasures, 1 can’t do it!”

“Even if you kill me, I really can’t do it!”

“How about this?”

“How about we chalk it up to owing you six half-step land immortal-level heavenly resources first?”

“If that still doesn’t work, then there’s nothing that can be done.”

“Perhaps you can kill the Dog Emperor to calm your anger?”
