I Am Overlord

Chapter 488: Conquering With Virtue

The crimson sword energy landed and created a massive explosion, unleashing a power only possible through emperor-grade techniques.

"Haha, you should be proud that you get to die from my Bloodburst Sword technique!" said Xue Jianhe as he laughed proudly. Yet when the dust settled, Xiang Shaoyun and the Han Clan sisters were completely unharmed, protected by layers of golden walls.

"Alright, you're free now," said Xiang Shaoyun after untying the sisters. The rope tying them was as tough as a king weapon. It was most likely a uniquely produced rope. Otherwise, it wouldn't be strong enough to completely bind the two.

"Y-you're fine?" Xue Jianhe was overwhelmed with shock.

Without any hesitation, he started fleeing, wishing he had more than two legs he could use to flee. He had not expected that the kid who had appeared randomly was actually such a terrifying person. Not even those devils were as scary as him.

Unfortunately, he had barely moved when Xiang Shaoyun appeared before him. With a kick to his crotch, he was sent crashing in front of the Han Clan sisters. The intense pain coming from his lower body caused him to roll around on the ground in pain with both his hands on his crotch.

"Alright. He's all yours," said Xiang Shaoyun. The Han Clan sisters glared at Xue Jianhe with an intense hatred in their eyes.

"S-spare me...I'm Noxious Blo—" Xue Jianhe begged. However, the Han Clan sisters would never spare him. They had been badly mistreated by him in recent days, and now was the time for them to get their revenge.

"Die, pervert!" Han Qianwei stomped Xue Jianhe on his face, causing blood and broken teeth to fly out of his mouth.

Han Xuewei was not holding back either. She kicked Xue Jianhe's chest with all her strength, breaking his breastbone. The two started venting their anger on him for their recent mistreatments, kicking him until he was dead. By the time he was dead, his corpse was no longer recognizable.

As for Xiang Shaoyun, he couldn't be bothered to focus on what the sisters were doing. His focus had returned to the Nether Soul Domain. There, his soul was beating Meng Gansu up. Meng Gansu was a seventh-stage Emperor, yet he actually wasn't Xiang Shaoyun's match in the Nether Soul Domain. Few people would even believe that this would be possible. In fact, not even the Imperial Nether Clan members would believe it, unless it was a prince of their clan doing it.

Even after pushing himself to his limit, Meng Gansu was unable to unleash more than 70 percent of his strength. This beating he received caused him to be very depressed. Right as he was about to be killed, he begged, "Please spare me. I...I have a secret regarding the Imperial Nether Clan I can trade for my life!"

That saved his life. Of course, Xiang Shaoyun would not free him easily. Only by having him under control would Xiang Shaoyun be able to ascertain if he was speaking the truth. In any case, Xiang Shaoyun was planning to enter the third layer. It would be nice to have an Emperor like Meng Gansu serving as his guard.

And thus, Xiang Shaoyun used the Nether Soul Domain and sent numerous ancient runes flying toward Meng Gansu. In the Nether Soul Domain, the runes were even stronger. Each rune was bright and radiant, emitting an ancient aura as they swarmed Meng Gansu.

The Nether Soul Domain has actually more than doubled in strength? Looks like the Nether Soul Domain and the Nether Dragon Soul Curse can work together with much greater efficiency due to their similar origin, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

Meng Gansu wasn't even able to resist before his soul was cursed. The torture on his soul caused his willpower to instantly crumble. He immediately swore his allegiance to Xiang Shaoyun.

Only then did Xiang Shaoyun stop the torture and release Meng Gansu from the Nether Soul Domain. Using the Nether Soul Domain in battle exhausted a large amount of soul power. Fortunately, a soul raising stone was stored in it, constantly replenishing the exhausted soul power.

That was what allowed Xiang Shaoyun to use the Nether Soul Domain for an extended period of time. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep the Nether Soul Domain outside him for long. It was obvious there was a time limit to how long he could keep someone trapped in his Nether Soul Domain.

Of course, that did not apply to the ghostrunes, who were like fish back in water in the Nether Soul Domain. After all, according to Gui Qi, the Ghostrune Clan was the subordinate clan of the Imperial Nether Clan. They might even be a clan the Imperial Nether Clan had created. Meng Gansu's appearance shocked the Han Clan sisters. They knew very well how scary this person was and were afraid that his reappearance would be bad for them.

"Don't worry. Focus on healing. He is now my follower," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"How is that possible? He's your follower now?" Han Qianwei could not believe that.

"Haha, there's no helping it. I am wise and heroic, always conquering others with my virtue. There is nothing surprising for him to change his ways upon witnessing my virtuous self," said Xiang Shaoyun without any shame.

Meng Gansu knelt down on one knee before Xiang Shaoyun and swore, "Meng Gansu will forever obey the young master's command."

"Alright, alright. Come on, we have something we need to talk about," said Xiang Shaoyun. The two then walked away, leaving behind the pair of sisters that were in disbelief.

"Big sister, have you noticed how handsome he is?" Han Xuewei asked with a look of infatuation.

Han Qianwei did not deny that. Rather, she said, "Focus on healing."

Inwardly, she found herself in agreement to her little sister. However, it did not matter what they thought. In her opinion, this young man was a remarkable genius cultivator. Although they were rather talented as well and were both sixth-stage Skysoar Realm cultivators, she did not believe that they were worthy of being his lover.

Not far away, Xiang Shaoyun asked through voice transmission, "Tell me. What secret do you know about the Imperial Nether Clan?"

"Master, I once heard from the Noxious Blood Gang's great monarch that there is a site in the third layer once inhabited by the Imperial Nether Clan. That might be where they used to live, or that might be their graveyard. However, that place is also guarded by extremely powerful devils. Not even Sovereigns would dare to easily step foot there," said Meng Gansu.

"A site of the Imperial Nether Clan? Are you sure?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in astonishment.

Meng Gansu said, "I think so? That place probably has some sort of relationship with the Imperial Nether Clan, but I really don't know. According to the great monarch, nothing is left there. Even if there used to be treasures there, they would have all been taken by those who were there before this. That place is just an abandoned site now."

"So it's an abandoned site," Xiang Shaoyun sighed. He further asked, "Do you know anything else about the Imperial Nether Clan?"

What he wanted to know the most was whether the Imperial Nether Clan was part of the devils and what role they played in the entirety of the dominion.
