Chī~
Ye Xuan arrived on the balcony. At one moment, he sensed a fleeting surge of malevolent energy from the dense forest beside the Shui Tian Wine Mansion, causing him to frown slightly.
"Ding, the host has triggered a random quest: Slay the Dark Church's Divine Guard and subdue Ouyang Baxia!"
"Quest Option One: Accept the quest, receive a tenfold rebate, capped at 120 billion RMB!"
"Quest Option Two: Refuse the quest, gain one meter in height!"
Oh?
The system's voice echoed in his ears. Ye Xuan looked towards the source of the malevolent energy. The Dark Church? Capped at 120 billion??
This quest is quite good.
Ye Xuan pondered for a moment, a curve forming on his lips. With a flick of his figure, he vanished from the Shui Tian Wine Mansion.
...
Deep within the dense forest beside the Shui Tian Wine Mansion.
Dīng dīng dīng~~
Fierce energy erupted, rocks and earth crumbled. Every strike carried immense power, even ordinary War God realm experts would not dare to withstand them head-on.
Pēng~
A dull thud resounded. A man in his thirties, clad in a black robe emblazoned with the symbol of a blazing sun, was none other than Pluto, the first Divine Guard under the Sun God, one of the twelve main gods of the Dark Church.
Pluto, a powerhouse below the peak of the War God realm, was invincible as long as no one at the peak of the War God realm appeared!
"Ouyang Baxia, it's your fault for becoming an enemy of our Dark Church. Next life, keep your eyes open when you become a person."
With a cold voice, Pluto, to avoid any further complications, delivered a fatal blow directly towards Ouyang Baxia's heart.
"Those who offend our Dark Church shall all die!!"
A dagger, cutting through the air as if traversing space, appeared beside Ouyang Baxia. Already gravely injured by Pluto, Ouyang Baxia's face was filled with despair. "Dark Church, Hei Tian and you are sworn enemies! I will not rest until one of us is dead!!"
"Humph~"
"A mere insignificant organization like Hei Tian dares to challenge our Dark Church? Die!!"
Thinking thus, Pluto did not waste any more time. His attack speed increased by another notch. However, at this very moment...
*Ding!* A golden light struck Pluto's dagger. In the next instant, an immense force sent Pluto flying backward. Staggering, he took several steps before barely steadying himself.
"The Dark Church is as overbearing as ever."
*Swish!* A figure appeared in front of Ouyang Baxia. This scene, Ouyang Baxia would never forget.
"Hmm!?"
Pluto, having regained his composure, his gaze fell upon Ye Xuan, who had appeared on the scene. "Who are you, to dare interfere with the Dark Church's affairs!"
"Who I am is not important, what is important is..."
At this point, Ye Xuan looked at Pluto with a playful curve to his lips. "The Dark Church is my enemy!"
"What, you..."
Before Pluto could finish speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, followed by blood splattering. Pluto, who was supposedly invincible below the peak War God realm, didn't even see how Ye Xuan moved before he became a cold corpse, his face still etched with shock from his final moments.
With intense unwillingness and overwhelming disbelief, Pluto's tragic life came to an end.
Until his dying breath, he couldn't believe that this person was not afraid of their Dark Church at all. Moreover, what was most terrifying was the sheer terrifying power of this fellow.
A single strike kill!
Ouyang Baxia stared in stunned silence. To be precise, it wasn't a single strike kill, because he didn't even know how Ye Xuan had attacked.
Terrifying!
This person's strength was far superior to his own father, the leader of the Hei Tian organization, who was at the peak of the War God realm. If his father was at the peak of the War God realm, then this person's strength must be... beyond the War God level.
As he thought this, fierce determination flickered in Ouyang Baxia's eyes. His sister, Ouyang Ruodan, had been cruelly persecuted by the Dark Church. This was an irreconcilable hatred!
Ouyang Baxia was dissatisfied with his father's inaction regarding revenge. In anger, he had single-handedly attacked a branch of the Dark Church in the Eagle Country, only to encounter the Sun God's strongest Divine Guard, leading to the current situation.
It was fine if Ouyang Baxia himself died, but he had not yet avenged his sister. At this moment, Ye Xuan had given him hope.
Moreover, this person's strength far exceeded his imagination. With his help, the future annihilation of the Dark Church would surely be much more achievable.
Dōng~
As Ouyang Baxia thought this, he understood that an opportunity now lay before him. He directly knelt on one knee, "Thank you, sir, for saving my life. Ouyang Baxia's life is yours from now on!"
"Whatever your lordship commands, Baxia will not hesitate to obey, even unto death!!"
"Oh?"
Seeing Ouyang Baxia's demeanor, Ye Xuan was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected this young man to be so adept.
"To be frank, sir, my hatred for the Dark Church is irreconcilable..."
Upon hearing Ouyang Baxia's words, Ye Xuan understood the entire situation. Since this was the case, he was naturally happy to go with the flow.
Young master of the Hei Tian organization?
This has good potential and status. Not only can he gain a capable subordinate, but he can also complete the mission. Why not?
"Good."
"From this day forward, you shall be the fourth Heavenly King of my Underworld Palace, Heavenly King Baxia!"
Ouyang Baxia's expression trembled upon hearing this. He then looked at Ye Xuan in disbelief, "Sir... could it be, you are the殿主 of the Underworld Palace?"
Although it was a question, he was already eighty to ninety percent certain.
To joke?
Who else but the殿主 of the Underworld Palace could appoint a Heavenly King?
Pūtōng~
Ouyang Baxia immediately understood what this appointment from Ye Xuan meant. He knelt on one knee again, "Your subordinate thanks the殿主 for your cultivation!"
"Since you're here, come out and meet me."
Ye Xuan then looked in a certain direction. In the next moment, more than ten figures appeared on the scene with a *swish*, and they all knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Palace Master!"
Seeing these people appear, Ouyang Baxia's heart was shocked. There was one at the peak of the half-War God realm, two at the half-War God realm, and over a dozen top experts.
Furthermore, the intense malevolent energy emanating from these individuals indicated that each of them had clawed their way out of piles of corpses. If these people were to assassinate him, he would at least be severely injured, if not killed.
"This is our Underworld Palace's fourth Heavenly King from now on."
"Greetings, Heavenly King Baxia!!"
The group of more than ten people bowed respectfully. They naturally knew that this person, like their other three Heavenly Kings, was at the War God realm. Now that he had submitted to their Underworld Palace, such respect was only natural.
Then, Ye Xuan waved his hand, and everyone dispersed as if nothing had happened. Such speed and order were several times better than their Hei Tian organization.
Seeing the more than ten people vanish in an instant, Ouyang Baxia was filled with emotion. Ye Xuan looked at Ouyang Baxia, "Now I have a mission for you."
"Your Palace Master commands!!"
"Mhm." Da Feng Novel Network
Ye Xuan saw Ouyang Baxia's solemn expression and smiled, "Actually, it's not really a mission. I want you to become the leader of Hei Feng."
Ouyang Baxia, "???"
"Palace Master, this..."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ouyang Baxia was truly dumbfounded. However, he did not hesitate and said bitterly, "Palace Master, my father is a peak War God realm expert, and I am merely at the War God realm. How can I be his opponent? This mission will likely take at least two to three years."
"Two to three years? Is that so??"
Ye Xuan smiled at Ouyang Baxia, then flipped his hand and produced an orange. "Eat this and see if you still need two to three years?"
"Uh..."
Ouyang Baxia was clearly a bit perplexed. Why did the Palace Master carry an orange with him? He didn't know where he had put it, but he didn't think much of it and ate the entire orange. As for poisoning, there was no need to worry at all.
"What, this is... my strength and my body."
"What a magical orange!!"
Clenching his fists, Ouyang Baxia's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. "If I had ten or eight more such oranges, I would definitely be able to break through to the peak of the War God realm. Then that old man wouldn't be able to stop me."
If Ouyang Hetian knew about this at this moment, he might have beaten Ouyang Baxia so badly that he wouldn't recognize himself.
