“Greetings, Deputy Hall Master!” A Sky Martial Underworld Hall powerhouse greeted Luo Yunyang respectfully.
Luo Yunyang had now accepted the title of Deputy Hall Master so he smiled warmly. “We’re all a family. There’s no need to be so formal.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall powerhouse replied respectfully, “Respect must be given when it is due. I ask that the Deputy Hall Master takes care of his subordinate in the future too.”
Luo Yunyang had never refused this sort of attempt to lean on him. Thus, he immediately chuckled heartily and said, “This is not a big deal. We will take care of each other in the future.”
Wanyan Tiannu, who was coming out of the palace hall in the meantime, saw Luo Yunyang talking and laughing with that Sky Martial Underworld Hall powerhouse. He immediately scoffed and turned to leave.
Luo Yunyang knew that Wanyan Tiannu was a disciple who belonged to another faction within Sky Martial Underworld Hall that would not submit to the Sky Martial Hall Master.
Even the Sky Martial Hall Master had to bear with Wanyan Tiannu at times.
Of course, the person he tolerated was not Wanyan Tiannu but the existence that stood behind him.
Luo Yunyang was not afraid of Wanyan Tiannu at all. Upon seeing Wanyan Tiannu walking away, he said nonchalantly, “Wanyan Tiannu, come here!”
A tinge of unhappiness could be seen on Wanyan Tiannu’s face. However, he calmed himself down immediately, as he knew that his cultivation was much weaker than Luo Yunyang’s.
Furthermore, Luo Yunyang had murdered a Mysterious Underworld Saint, which had made him realize that Luo Yunyang was someone that he should not offend carelessly.
“Greetings, Deputy Hall Master!” Wanyan Tiannu pondered for a moment before paying his respects.
Luo Yunyang noticed the unruly expression on Wanyan Tiannu and replied calmly, “Mmm… Youngsters should cultivate well.”
“Go on!”
Wanyan Tiannu felt stupid all of a sudden. Although he knew that there shouldn’t be anything important that the Deputy Hall Master would call him over for, he had never expected that Luo Yunyang would call him over just to say this.
He had sent him away after merely saying a few words. This was obviously embarrassing for him!
Although he felt unhappy about it, Wanyan Tiannu replied patiently, “This subordinate will take his leave now.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall powerhouse watched Wanyan Tiannu leave and mused. He felt that this young Deputy Hall Master was definitely someone that one mustn’t offend.
Wanyan Tiannu was already a difficult person to handle, but this Deputy Hall Master was even more challenging.
With that in mind, the respect that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall powerhouse had for Luo Yunyang increased.
After watching Wanyan Tiannu stomp off, Luo Yunyang marched into the great hall of the Sky Martial Hall Master.
“Greetings, Hall Master!” Luo Yunyang respectfully saluted the Sky Martial Hall Master.
The Sky Martial Hall Master showed great enthusiasm upon seeing Luo Yunyang. He laughed and said, “Deputy Hall Master Nalanye, please take a seat.”
“Ha ha… You just chided Wanyan Tiannu. I saw it. Not bad!”
Luo Yunyang smiled modestly. “It was merely a small trick. Hall Master, your status makes it unworthwhile for you to deal with such an insignificant, rude individual like Wanyan Tiannu, but I am different. If Wanyan Tiannu dares to be arrogant and not know his limits, I will teach him a lesson.”
“Ha ha ha… Alright, you did a very good job, Nalanye. Wanyan Tiannu has been really spoiled by his master. You taught him some rules of life, which is very good!”
Luo Yunyang could sense the slight resentment in the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s words, which were directed at the master of Wanyan Tiannu.
Luo Yunyang did not want to know who Wanyan Tiannu’s master was, yet he believed that he would find out soon.
This time, he had come here to discuss some of his views with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master.
“Hall Master, have we found the spies of the Human Race yet?” Luo Yunyang changed the subject.
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master frowned and said, “No, the powerhouses of the Human Race are also top-notch geniuses in this aspect. They did not leave any traces when they left. It is extremely difficult to find them through mere deduction.”
Luo Yunyang nodded and said, “This is also to be expected.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master nodded in agreement. “Those bloody human spies… Once I find any trace of them, I will exterminate them completely.”
Luo Yunyang’s only positive impression of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master disappeared completely. However, he still agreed with the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. “Hall Master, you’re right, but I think the most important thing now isn’t to look for the spies of the Human Race.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s face stiffened. He did not say anything but he eyed Luo Yunyang in silence. Luo Yunyang could feel a huge pressure coming from that cold gaze.
As a Hall Master, the Sky Martial Hall Underworld Master was not a fool. Although he seemed calm and did not speak, he had unknowingly released his aura.
“Hall Master, I think Sky Martial Underworld Hall’s greatest enemy isn’t the Human Race infiltrators, but Ancient Underworld Hall.”
Luo Yunyang said fearlessly, “Hall Master, you were elected the leader of the task to track down the spies of the Human Race. It seems very impressive and feels as though you have taken the initiative in all aspects. However, my lord, you should know clearly that at the moment, the commander of our entire Mysterious Underworld Race is still the Ancient Underworld Hall Master.”
“After all, you’re still not the Hall Master of Ancient Underworld Hall.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master nodded. Although he had said that he would focus on capturing the human spies, he knew deep down that what Nalanye said was also true and it concerned him the most.
Such words should not be spoken before the Sky Moon Underworld Hall Master and the Sky Gold Hall Master. After all, these two Hall Masters were still not as close to him.
“Nalanye, your analysis is very thorough. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?”
“Hall Master, I think that we should start by considering several aspects. First, let’s talk about the Endless Underworld. We should let the mistake that happened in Burial Underworld Earth be made public. This way, the entire Ancient Underworld Hall would become the target of condemnation by all Mysterious Underworld martialists.”
Luo Yunyang added firmly, “Moreover, the Ancient Underworld Hall Master will be caught in a difficult situation. Even if he does not resign and apologize, he will have to pay a huge price for it.”
“Naturally, this would in turn result in him being too busy to compete against you in the search for the human spies.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master nodded again. “Burial Underworld Earth is a sacred location of our Mysterious Underworld Race. Every the Mysterious Underworld Race regards it as the place that they yearn for. ”
“This sort of thing can never be covered up. I also think it’s time to let them know what happened.”
When Luo Yunyang had come to persuade the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, he had known that the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master would never refuse anything he suggested.
After all, this matter mainly concerned the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master. The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master was not a benevolent person and he wasn’t going to forgo his self-interest by safeguarding the Mysterious Underworld Race’s righteousness.
“I also believe that this alone isn’t enough. We should also take this opportunity to strike at the forces closely related to Ancient Underworld Hall and let them know who is going to be the next leader of the Mysterious Underworld Race.”
After expressing his intentions, Luo Yunyang stared at the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master and added, “Hall Master, you have been kind to me. Your subordinate is doing all this for the sake of the Hall Master and Sky Martial Underworld Hall.”
“I know you mean well when it comes to Sky Martial Underworld Hall.” The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master hesitated for a moment before he said, “But I have merely taken the lead in one task. You are suggesting to attack those that rely on Ancient Underworld Hall? Isn’t that…”
Luo Yunyang scoffed inwardly upon hearing this. Although the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master did not complete his sentence, Luo Yunyang still understood what he was thinking.
Since he was thinking about how to topple Sky Martial Underworld Hall, why should he be so hypocritical as tp beat around the bush?
“Hall Master, this is a very important moment. It will decide whether or not Sky Martial Underworld Hall will become the ruling hall in the future. A man of great ambition does not care about trifles. I have to ask you to think twice about it.”
Luo Yunyang spoke sincerely as he admonished the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master.
The Sky Martial Hall Master hesitated for a moment before replying faintly, “You’re right. A man of great ambition does not care about trifles.”
“Nalanye, since you said so, you’ll go ahead and do this for me. However, there’s one thing you should remember. Don’t involve Sky Gold Underworld Hall and Sky Moon Underworld Hall. As for the two other underworld halls, try not to have direct conflicts with them.”
“Everything else is up to you!”
Luo Yunyang was not surprised that he had so easily persuaded the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master, as he had merely guided the true thoughts of the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master.
After considering this for a moment, Luo Yunyang said, “I think that if we want to do this, we should start with someone reputable.”
The Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master paused for a moment before a name came to his mind. Momentarily, he looked at Luo Yunyang and trembled slightly.
“You… You don’t mean him, right?”
Although the Sky Martial Underworld Hall Master’s cultivation was much better than the intended target’s, that person’s position was so high that the Sky Martial Hall Master would remain helpless even if he was angered while facing that person.
It was quite uncomfortable. Apart from feeling humbled, the Sky Martial Hall Master really had no other good way of dealing with him.
Luo Yunyang looked at the Sky Martial Hall Master, who appeared rather uncomfortable with the suggestion, and said solemnly, “Yes, I am referring to him.”
“Can we really touch him?” The Sky Martial Hall Master hesitated for a moment before he said faintly, “No one in the Mysterious Underworld Race would think that he would collude with the Human Race.”
“It will probably be detrimental if we make a move against him.”
Luo Yunyang looked at the worried Sky Martial Hall Master and said heavily, “Your subordinate has already made plans. I would never embarrass you, Hall Master.”
“Alright then, go ahead!” The Sky Martial Hall Master mulled it over for a bit before agreeing.
