Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1143 - 1129: Abi Surrenders, A Sudden Change Arises!
Chapter 1143: Chapter 1129: Abi Surrenders, A Sudden Change Arises!
"Pathetic!"
Watching the Netherworld Prison Master lying lifeless on the ground, everyone except Xiao Yi was utterly stunned, unable to recover from their shock for a long time.
Gulp!
Zhang Ming swallowed hard, glancing at the equally frozen He Ju and Asura War God beside him. "Am—am I seeing things? As powerful as the Netherworld Prison Master was, did the Master just slay him with one strike?"
The Netherworld Prison Master, a being standing ninety-five steps on the Path of the Great Dao.
Among the four Prison Masters, he was universally acknowledged as the strongest.
And yet...
He was killed by Xiao Yi with a single sword strike?
Before coming here, they’d all been prepared for an intense and brutal battle.
But for it to just end so casually?
He Ju wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his lips trembling slightly, "It—it’s not an illusion, right..."
Whew!
The Asura War God exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and only then did a sense of relief strike him. Muttering to himself, he said, "It’s fortunate that back in the Asura Battlefield, I didn’t outright confront the Master with life and death. Otherwise, my corpse would likely be freezing cold by now!"
He had long been tired of the life in the Endless Ice Prison, especially after realizing Xiao Yi’s immense strength during their confrontation. At that moment, he’d secretly hoped Xiao Yi could fulfill the dream he had failed to achieve.
Defeat the four Prison Masters, and gather the keys to leave the Endless Ice Prison.
It was with this hope that, after his initial defeat, he quickly surrendered the key and pledged allegiance to Xiao Yi.
Looking back now...
Even if he had fought with all his might at that time, the ultimate result would have been nothing but a dead end!
Just like the Netherworld Prison Master.
Xiao Yi, however, paid no attention to their thoughts and spoke, "Where to next?"
"Now only Abi Prison Master and Jialuo Prison Master remain..."
The Asura War God pondered for a moment before speaking, "It’s better to head to Abi Prison Master first! Among the four Prison Masters, Jialuo Prison Master is the weakest and also the most mild-mannered. Once the Master defeats Abi Prison Master and secures three keys, Jialuo Prison Master would likely surrender without a fight!"
Jialuo Prison Master.
Among the four Prison Masters, he was known as the ’good guy.’
He had never proactively harmed others.
Even when bullied right at his doorstep, he always responded with a smile.
Even Zhang Ming and He Ju couldn’t help but show a hint of disdain when mentioning Jialuo Prison Master: "Jialuo Prison Master really is weak-willed!"
"He’s easy to deal with!"
As everyone shared similar evaluations of Jialuo Prison Master.
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling a bit curious about this so-called "good guy" Jialuo Prison Master.
After all.
A ’good guy’ able to climb to the top of the pyramid in a brutal, survival-of-the-strongest world like the Endless Ice Prison was indeed puzzling.
The group of four soared through the air, heading to Abi Prison Realm where Abi Prison Master resided.
And after they left...
Inside the Netherworld City, some strong figures cautiously ventured out of the city.
When they saw the Netherworld Prison Master’s gruesome death along with the three Netherworld War Gods, the news quickly spread like wildfire, sweeping through the Endless Ice Prison.
Abi Realm City.
Abi Prison Master stared at the intelligence report in his hand. His palms trembled slightly, his face showing disbelief: "The Asura War God was defeated, surrendered to the new Asura War God? And their group went to the Netherworld Prison Realm and killed the Netherworld Prison Master with just one sword strike? How is this possible..."
Standing before him was a middle-aged man with a nasal ring, a dark complexion, and a head as large as a drum.
This man was his right-hand Ma Dahar.
Ma Dahar murmured, "Prison Master, this information just arrived, and it’s completely accurate."
"Who on earth is this new Asura War God? I’ve never heard of such an existence in the Endless Ice Prison..." Abi Prison Master muttered to himself.
Ma Dahar said, "Could it be someone from outside?"
"Outside?"
Abi Prison Master froze, suddenly standing up with hurried breaths, "That’s very likely... That’s the only explanation! If it’s someone from the outside who became the new Asura War God and then challenged the Netherworld Prison Master, they’re likely aiming to leave the Endless Ice Prison. This might be our one chance to escape this hellish place..."
"Do you mean... they’re seeking to collect the four keys to leave the Endless Ice Prison?" Ma Dahar asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Quick, have someone open the city gates immediately! You... no, go to Jialuo Prison Master and tell him to bring his key as well. That ’good guy’ wouldn’t dare defy my orders. With two sets of key fragments handed over, we’ll have more leverage to negotiate with them."
Abi Prison Master nodded solemnly, "Meanwhile, I’ll personally go to the city gates to welcome them. As long as we confirm they’re worthy, we hand over the keys. How many years has it been? Finally, there’s hope of leaving this cursed place..."
With that.
The two divided their tasks.
When Xiao Yi’s group arrived at Abi Realm City.
Seeing the banners and decorations, with large signs reading "Welcome to the Majestic Asura War God" hanging overhead, the group couldn’t help but exchange perplexed looks, their faces filled with surprise.
Zhang Ming muttered blankly, "What’s the meaning of this?"
"It seems the news about Master killing the Netherworld Prison Master has already reached here..."
The Asura War God chuckled bitterly, shaking his head slightly as he looked at Abi Prison Master flying towards them from the city walls, "That sly fox is as cunning as ever!"
"Are you the new Asura War God?" Abi Prison Master’s voice arrived before his figure did.
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, replying, "That’s right, I am Xiao."
"Ah, so it’s Lord Xiao! I, Abi Prison Master, have long admired your reputation. Upon meeting you today, you truly are a divine wonder! Lord Xiao, please come inside and rest for a while!" Abi Prison Master said eagerly.
Xiao Yi replied coolly, "Resting won’t be necessary. I have pressing matters to attend to..."
"Hahaha, could Lord Xiao be heading to Jialuo Prison Master’s domain next?" Abi Prison Master chuckled.
Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Can Abi Prison Master foretell the future?"
"Not at all, it was merely a deduction, a simple deduction, hahaha!"
Abi Prison Master chuckled smugly and said with self-satisfaction, "Lord Xiao, you need not rally anyone; I’ve already sent someone to Jialuo Prison Master to invite him over with his key fragment. For now, let’s enter the city and discuss how to cooperate!"
"Oh?"
Xiao Yi displayed a hint of surprise.
He hadn’t expected Abi Prison Master to willingly surrender and forego resistance.
Judging by his behavior, he had apparently already colluded with Jialuo Prison Master to negotiate terms with Xiao Yi.
Still...
Xiao Yi’s immediate priority was to leave the Endless Ice Prison as soon as possible, and as long as the terms weren’t excessively unreasonable, he had no objections. Nodding slightly, he said, "If that’s the case, then..."
Before he could finish his sentence.
A figure suddenly flew in from the city, landing in front of Abi Prison Master, visibly anxious, and stammered, "Pri—Prison Master, bad news! General Ma has been killed by Jialuo Prison Master..."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone froze in utter shock...
