Chapter 384 - 384: Left With No Choice
A mission? Really?
Was the system giving him a hint here?
Furthermore, the rewards were really generous for the third option.
The first option was completely out of the question. If he picked that, forget the local deity, he would have to deal with the wrath of the Lord of the Eighteen Hells right here and now.
As for the second mission?
Cough up twelve half-step land immortal-level heavenly treasures?
Hell no!
Therefore, the third option was the only feasible and reasonable option.
Of course, Wang Mang would not rush into things blindly. He had to discuss and negotiate terms with the Lord of the Eighteen Hells first.
“Lord of the Eighteen Hells, you should know that my strength is still far too lacking, so you have to give me enough time!”
“Otherwise, I really can’t accomplish your request. At the very least, I have to reach the land immortal level too!”
After saying that, Wang Mang put on a pitiful expression.
The Lord of the Eighteen Hells was not surprised by Wang Mang’s final choice. He had roughly come to understand Wang Mang’s personality from the Dog Emperor, and he was certain that Wang Mang would acquiesce.
Of course, he would not give Wang Mang too much time.
Thus, the Lord of the Eighteen Hells examined Wang Mang for a moment before saying, “I’ll give you a month!”
“Based on the speed at which your strength is increasing, in less than a month, you will definitely become a land immortal.”
After hearing this, Wang Mang almost burst into tears, and he did his best impression of a pathetic, weak snake.
The Lord of the Eighteen Hells really thought highly of him!
This was indeed true, as the Lord of the Eighteen Hells could tell that, judging from his aura, Wang Mang’s current strength was no weaker than any half-step land immortal-level expert, and was actually stronger than most of them.
Thus, seeing Wang Mang’s act, the Lord of the Eighteen Hells said indifferently, “One and a half months. If that damn old man isn’t dead by then, I will come looking for you.”
At this point, the Lord of the Eighteen Hells threw the Dog Emperor over to Wang Mang’s side and said meaningfully, “Take care of yourself. 1 will only give you one and a half months.”
“In a month and a half, if that old man is dead, all grudges between us will be written off.”
“If he’s not dead, you should be prepared for the consequences.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of the Eighteen Hells turned into a ball of black mist and flew off, causing gusts of cold wind to sweep over.
Looking at the Lord of the Eighteen Hells who had disappeared into the sky within just a few moments, Wang Mang felt even more terrified. This was because, based on Wang Mang’s estimation, this fellow’s speed had already reached 50,000 kilometers per hour!
In fact, Wang Mang could not help but think that the Lord of the Eighteen Hells was waiting for the Dog Emperor to steal something before intercepting the latter.
This was too suspicious.
Since the Lord of the Eighteen Hells was able to capture the Dog Emperor, the latter should not have been able to escape from the Netherworld!
At this moment, the Dog Emperor’s furious voice rang out, “Stop guessing.”
“If I hadn’t used up all my spatial teleportation talismans, he wouldn’t have been able to catch me!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang turned his huge snake head and looked at the Dog Emperor, who looked as if he had eaten sh*t.
“What’s going on? 1 saved your life. Why are you so dissatisfied?”
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Dog Emperor sneered.
“You took all my treasures! Also, you saved my life?”
“If you hadn’t snatched my treasures, I would have just returned the treasures and gotten off scot-free?”
“Without my treasures, would your strength have increased so much?”
Wang Mang could not refute those words, though it did make him displeased.
He could tell that the Dog Emperor had quite a bit of resentment toward, him.
Should he kill the Dog Emperor?
This thought suddenly appeared in Wang Mang’s mind.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Wang Mang gave up on the idea.
After all, he still had a bottom line. If he snatched the other party’s treasures and even killed the other party, he would truly be a wicked person.
That being said, if they did not know each other, Wang Mang might have done it, but the Dog Emperor was one of the two demons that he was more familiar with.
The other demon was naturally Black Bear Demon King.
Thinking this, Wang Mang immediately said in a deep voice, “Won’t I have to bear the consequences anyway?”
“You can go now. I saved you, so any past grudges between us should be written off.”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the Dog Emperor gritted its teeth and sneered, “Now that you’ve eaten everything, you think I’m useless and want to kick me away?”
The Dog Emperor’s words stunned Wang Mang. He said in astonishment, “Hasn’t the danger been resolved now? What reason do you have to stick around?”
Hearing this, the Dog Emperor’s eyes darted around and it sneered, “I’ll stay here and wait for you to die. If I don’t see you die, I won’t be able to vent my hatred!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang could not help but curse, “Although I’m not a human anymore, you’re a real dog, you know…”
“Get lost! Don’t force me to kill you!”
