LDP S3: The Jewel of the Underworld

Ch. 57 — You Threaten Me!

“If it wasn't for your carelessness that left the enemy without confirming his death first, then I definitely wouldn't have dirtyed my hand by killing Fu Yu. Yep! I did kill Fu Yu before I went to your room. As I recall, I had also told you about this matter when I gave you a mask.”

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Fu Rong did not try to dodge the accusations at all and clearly confessed his actions before Heilong.

Heilong became increasingly confused as to what he should do at this moment. His mind was instantly blank when he heard Fu Rong's reply. He could not believe how a woman as beautiful as Fu Rong was willing to kill her Clan members to help her. Is it possible that this crazy woman fell in love with me?

“What was the intention of your arrival here to hold me accountable by declaring to the public that I was the one who killed Fu Yu?” fu Rong continued asking because Heilong suddenly went silent.

“No! I'm not gonna get you into the trouble I started. I was just wondering what reason you killed Fu Yu back then?”

As a man, Heilong certainly did not want to take refuge behind a woman. Moreover, this woman had tried several times to help him. However, he was still confused on how to solve this problem without arousing suspicion in him.

“I just don't want to cause a split between the Fu Clan and the Zhao Clan that will only drag the Demon Lords into an insignificant vortex of commotion. Because, there are still many things that must be done by the Demon Lords rather than just taking care of the internal problems of Clan members,” Fu Rong replied coldly without the slightest hesitation.

“I understand. I will immediately find a solution to solve this problem without causing a commotion.”

“No need! As long as they were unable to find any trace of who Fu Yu's true killer was, then this matter would disappear by itself within a few months. You should really understand how things are in the passage of an unstable dimension and filled with chaos energy.”

After getting a reminder from Fu Rong about the situation inside the dimensional passageway, Heilong became even more relaxed. Because, all the evidence of Fu Yu's murder must have long been destroyed by the energy of chaos.

And, what Fu Rong said was indeed true that this matter would disappear by itself if there was not found sufficient evidence because no one dared to disturb the composure of the Demon Lords.

“Thank you, then I'll be right back to my place.” Heilong immediately finished his cup of tea and was ready to leave this place.

However, Fu Rong suddenly called out to him.

“Wait .. !”

Heilong immediately turned around and looked at Fu Rong.

“Do you need my help?”

“What help can you give me? And, do you think I'm short of something?” fu Rong replied, turning his eyes the other way. He did not dare to look at Heilong for too long while chatting.

“I can uproot all the old plants in this park and replace them with new plants,” Heilong replied teasingly while laughing crisply.

“Really a waste of time. All the flowers in my garden have the ability to renew their own lives. So, this park did not require any maintenance at all,” Fu Rong stared intently at Heilong then threw a scroll of letters.

“Bacalah. You'll know what I want after reading that invitation.”

Heilong immediately unrolled the letter and read it carefully. The scroll of the letter turned out to be an invitation to enter a certain place that seemed to have many benefits for the Devil Race.

“No! I just want you to make a fuss in that place by killing the elites of several Demon King Clans. The moment the place was opened, all the Demon Clans would definitely send their best disciples to benefit from the Dark Origin Tree because the dark Qi was the main source of power for the Demon Race.”

Heilong also understood the importance of the dark Qi to the Demon Race after seeing the memory fragments shown by Tian Che. The Demon Race had always regarded the demonic air as the source of life whereas the dark Qi as the source of strength.

“What is your real purpose? Aren't you a part of the Devil Race then why do you have to kill your own Race?” Heilong could not understand Fu Rong's path of thought.

“Who killed? Wasn't my words just now clear enough that the one who would kill the elites of the Demon clan was you. All of this I did so that the foundation of the Fu Clan could continue to stand firmly in the Underworld. After all, no one will ever suspect a useless Pengeran figure like you because from the outside you look completely devoid of cultivation and you will also definitely not get the invitation.”

Fu Rong was visibly irritated because Heilong kept arguing and never gave an answer.

'It turns out that the Devil is still the Devil! Her beauty that was able to captivate the heavens would never be able to cover up the cruelty of her extremely terrifying mind, Heilong muttered inwardly.

“What if I refuse?” rarely did Heilong with a slightly challenging tone because he was completely unwilling to be taken advantage of by others.

“You may refuse but I will no longer guarantee the security of your disguise. You should know better than me if your real identity is exposed especially if it reaches the ears of seven Demon Kings,” threatened Fu Rong.

“You dare threaten me!” Heilong clenched his hands in annoyance.

“Why don't I dare? I have enough capital to threaten you. Besides, you'll never be able to do anything to me. Now that the choice is in your hands, think well before deciding!”

Heilong just stared at Fu Rong with anger because his current self would indeed not be able to kill Fu Rong who had very high achievements in the Space Dao. Fu Rong might even run away and report all of this to Demon King Fu.

“Alright, I'll do what you ask. But this is the last time. In the future, I will never comply with your request even if you threaten me.” Heilong finally relented considering that he only needed a little time to prepare his army of ancient monsters before starting to fight the Devil Race.

“Good.” Fu Rong then threw a paper containing a list of names. “That is the names of the elites of the various Demon Clans that you have to kill. Use the power of the Time Dao when it will infiltrate this place because the power of the Space Dao cannot penetrate that place at all. Besides, you should also use the mask I gave you back then to hide your identity.”

Fu Rong gave a little direction to Heilong considering this was the first time Heilong had gone to that place.

“You also know I have the power of Dao Time!” Heilong was furious. He felt that Fu Rong had been spying on him all along.

“Fu Yu had told me about all the abilities you had before I killed him. Is there a problem with that?”

“Not at all.”

Heilong immediately left this park feeling extremely annoyed and returned to the Zhao Clan Pavilion.

Fu Rong simply stared at Heilong's fast-moving back leaving this place and entering the dimensional crack.
