After crushing the last stone statue, Shen Tuze dispersed the black light in his hands. After tidying up his shirt, he walked slowly to the quiet chamber before entering it.
As the door to the chamber opened, the Nether Priest sensed him immediately. After seeing Shen Tuze entering, not only was he not relieved, he was even slightly wary.
Under normal circumstances, whoever wanted to enter the quiet chamber had to pass the stone statues outside first.
The only person who could walk in freely was only the master of the Nether Priest, the Emperor of the Dead.
But now that Shen Tuze did the same, the Nether Priest was naturally cautious. Moreover, Shen Tuze wore a relaxed look on his face, which meant that something was wrong.
Because he led Xiao Yan over to the Netherworld Sea, the Nether Priest gave Shen Tuze a hard time. That time, Shen Tuze was truly frightened and was filled with fear and regret. He was also filled with fury and jealousy towards Xiao Yan.
But now, all the negative emotions did not appear to plague Shen Tuze.
The Nether Priest could see that Shen Tuze was also looking at him.
As he entered the quiet chamber, Shen Tuze immediately clasped his palms and conjured a spell. As a black light flashed, the entire quiet chamber was sealed. This was to ensure that all forms of connection were cut off from the external world.
The Nether Priest looked at him coldly, “You went to find Xiao Yan purposely?”
Shen Tuze laughed, “If it’s only Xiao Yan, Master, you won’t summon the powers of the Netherworld Sea. If Lin Feng is here personally, you won’t be able to escape. Only if Xiao Yan came with Zhu Yi, who has a destiny-level magic treasure, will you summon the powers of the Netherworld Sea and yet ensure that you can escape.”
“Honestly speaking, it’ll be very difficult for you to achieve that. I didn’t have the confidence, but I tried. Fortunately, the result was to my liking.”
The Nether Priest sighed, “Good, very good. Junior betrayed His Majesty and now my disciple has betrayed me.”
Shen Tuze replied, “Master, why are you so shocked? I was only able to rise to my current status by stepping on my seniors. If I want to go higher, I have no choice but to use you as my stepping stone.”
The Nether Priest stared at him, “Do you think that you are very clever? You thwarted the plans of His Majesty and I, and you even attracted our enemies here. Eventually, the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Great Void Sect and Gu Family may be the ones who will benefit from all this. Aren’t you being too clever for your good?”
Shen Tuze shook his head and laughed, “Master, you must be kidding. One has to choose his methods based on how capable he is. Although this is a risk, there’s at least a possibility of success. Just like how it is now, I think it’s rather good.”
“If we continue to wait, until the start of the War of the two Worlds, until the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect fully clash, it’s definitely the best. But in that case, I will have no chance, since you and His Majesty would have a lot of preparation time then.”
Shen Tuze grinned, “Having been under you for so long, I have the confidence to do better than you in other aspects. Even if I can’t manage to do so now, I believe that there will be a day when I will succeed.”
“But in terms of patience, I don’t think I can win you and His Majesty. The patience of the both of you are indeed of the highest level. His Majesty is currently retreating into cultivation, thus this is my only chance. When he exits his retreat, I really believe that I will be tormented to death by the both of you then.”
The Nether Priest said, “It’s tough on you, having to pretend, be impatient, be brutal and be distracted by romantic feelings and desires.”
Shen Tuze shook his head, “It’s only been 20 years in the Greater World. It’s not that long. I have followed you for thousands of years already.”
After hearing this, the Nether Priest snorted. If it had only been a few decades that Shen Tuze had displayed his admiration for Xiao Zhener, the Nether Priest would have spotted this abnormality.
In the past, Shen Tuze had once been infatuated with a certain lady.
Normally, he was very brutal and violent. Although he was always very impatient, he displayed sufficient potential and standards to be the best out of all the Nether Priest’s disciples. Only when he faced this lady did he lose his standards.
Over the long course of history, there were quite a few occurrences of this.
Because of this problem, the Nether Priest had punished Shen Tuze quite often. In the recent few years, while the problem still existed, Shen Tuze slowly “matured” too.
This time, Xiao Yan went to the Ancient Longevity World to propose marriage on behalf of the Nether Priest. At the start, Shen Tuze showed himself to be very honest and restrained. Even though Lin Feng and the Great Void Sect had came to the Ancient Longevity World for very long, he did not do anything. But at the last moment, he sneaked out and riled Xiao Yan.
“Master, you should have noticed this problem of mine? As long as it doesn’t affect the plans of His Majesty, you are willing to overlook this problem of mine.” Shen Tuze smiled as he said. “Someone with flaws is also someone who can be controlled easily, used easily, restricted and even killed.”
“And as a superior, no matter how powerful one’s subordinates were, as long as they had one critical flaw, they could be controlled easily. Using such subordinates will leave one more assured then.”
Shen Tuze said calmly, “It’s the same with the enemies. It’s the same with Xiao Yan. Because of his father’s death and because I tried to snatch his lover, he chased me to the Netherworld Sea. Being emotionally affected, that’s his flaw.”
“He is a genius in terms of cultivation. I have cultivated tirelessly for thousands years, yet I can’t win him, but so what? By targeting his flaws, he’s just another tool of mine to use. He will come and settle you for me and help me to achieve greatness.”
“Honestly speaking, if someone has such a huge flaw and does not try to correct it, I can’t understand it. However, I like people who are like this. The more of them, the better. If Xiao Yan remains like this, it will not be difficult for me to kill him.”
The Nether Priest looked at him and said slowly, “Right now, I can confirm that over these thousands of years, you have indeed pretended to be someone that you don’t look down on.”
Shen Tuze smiled, “Master, your words are too serious. After today, I will receive the strength that you have of controlling the Netherworld Sea. In terms of battling, Xiao Yan won’t be my match then.”
He looked at the Nether Priest and said, “Master, you have always been someone who is not very talkative. I know that you are willing to hear me spout gibberish because you want to fight for more time for yourself, so that you can turn the tables on me.”
“In fact, I’m not someone who is interested in talking nonsense. As to why I’m talking so much to you now, it’s because I also need some time to complete my set-up.”
The pupils of the Netherworld Priest shrank.
Shen Tuze smiled, “After all, my first goal is to send you on your way. But in terms of foundation, your part-control of the Netherworld Sea is my second goal. To achieve both, I need some time and effort.”
“Right now, the time has come.” As Shen Tuze said, he conjured a spell with his hands and clasped his palms together in front of him. The quiet chamber started to extend out with hundred black chains that trapped the Nether Priest.
The Nether Priest groaned and black light surged around his body. But the chains started to flash with red light.
The chains broke through the protective black light around the Nether Priest and chained him up.
Shen Tuze spoke rhythmically, “I tampered with this quiet chamber of yours beforehand for today. Normally, it can’t escape your sharp eyes. But when your powers are affected as you summon the powers of the Netherworld Sea, you might not notice.”
The Nether Priest was expressionless, “There’s more that you still have to learn.” His pupils flashed with a light projection. The disasters of the Netherworld Sea re-appeared and the chains around the Nether Priest started to shake tremendously. They were about to be crushed.
He was already slightly hurt through summoning the powers of the Netherworld Sea. Now that he summoned the powers of the Netherworld Sea once again, he was even more heavily hurt. Even if he could escape, he might still lose his life later on. But he still had to give it a go.
Shen Tuze shook his head, “Master, it’s useless. All these years, beside cultivating my own powers, I did two other things. One is the false image that I projected of myself. The second thing is my observation. Although you nurtured me, my understanding of you is greater than your understanding of me.”
The spells on his hands changed again before he turned to the Nether Priest and pointed at him, “Your reaction is within my expectations. By summoning the powers of the Netherworld Sea once again, you are only inflicting more injury on yourself, which is advantageous for me.”
Shen Tuze’s hand appeared with a piece of broken rock, which flashed with violent red light. It was actually a broken rock that was similar to the Catastrophic Broken Rock of the Ancient Longevity World.
After seeing this rock, the Nether Priest’s expression changed, “You actually received a piece of the Catastrophic Broken Rock and hid it?!”
Shen Tuze laughed, “Otherwise, how will I dare to come and find you?” As he pointed, the red light on the Catastrophic Broken Rock turned into black light which penetrated through the temple of the Nether Priest.
The Nether Priest tried to struggle, but he was restrained by the chains. He could only watch as the black light stabbed through his temple.
In the next moment, the images of disasters in the Nether Priest’s eyes disappeared. Whereas the chains around him became tighter and tighter, as they reached for his Immortal Soul.
Shen Tuze nodded his head, “It’s all thanks to you for summoning the powers of the Netherworld Sea that has caused you to become weaker. In this way, I can achieve my target of sending you on your way and obtain control of the Netherworld Sea. I can even cultivate you into my avatar. Although the last wish is a little time-consuming, the rewards will be greater than my investment.”
After hearing this, even the Nether Priest was frustrated and furious. But the more unstable he was emotionally, the faster the chains were able to violate his body. This was exactly what Shen Tuze planned from the start.
The Nether Priest shouted, “His Majesty won’t forgive you for being so greedy. Without His Majesty and I to protect you, do you think you can avoid the pursuit of the Great Void Sect and Celestial Sect of Wonders? You are only digging your own grave!”
Shen Tuze shook his head, “To fight for time previously, we have wasted too much time talking crap. Do you think that I’m so interested in seeing this pathetic state of yours, or do you think I am eager to showcase my superiority over you right now?”
Shen Tuze laughed slightly and walked forward. He slapped the head of the immobile Nether Priest. The Nether Priest felt as if everything had turned dark in front of him and the last words that he heard were, “I won’t do that. Who knows whether you have any last ultimate move to deal with me? So, I only pray that you can be sent on your way peacefully.”
“In that case, Master, take care along the way.”
