The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife Chapter 285-286

Chapter 285 – The Murong Family

Many people wouldn’t recognise His Highness Hell King, but still, Wu Yu had quickly made him a disguise so that no one would know his true identity just in case.

But even though Hell King was disguised, an imposing aura was still being released from Hexi’s group, particularly from Qing Long and Wu Yu. The two of them hadn’t bothered to conceal their cultivation base at all and with them both being at the peak of Gold Core stage, it caused the groups surrounding the fog to shrink back in alarm.

A martial artist in the early ranks of Gold Core stage came forward and warily sized them up. “You also want to enter the medicinal field?”

Wu Yu indifferently responded, “If so, then what?”

“I’ll give you a bit of advice, you had better leave this place immediately,” The martial artist then lifted his head and arrogantly said, “Let me tell you the truth; this medicinal field has been claimed by our Murong family. You can enter if you want, but you’ll have to pay eighty percent of whatever you earn from the medicinal field to us.”

Before Wu Yu could reply he saw Gu Liufeng, who had been silently listening to this the whole time, suddenly take a step forward and sneer as he said, “If we don’t agree?”

“Don’t agree?” The martial artist burst into loud laughter. “Do you think that just because your cultivation base is high that you can take whatever you want from this medicinal field? I’ll tell you now that in here, even if your cultivation base high, you still can’t overturn the wind and the waves. Even if you’re a dragon on the outside, once you’re in our Murong family’s territory you have to be obedient.”

“Murong family?” Gu Liufeng slowly stressed the word.

“The head of the Murong family belong’s to one of Yan Jing City’s four great clans; don’t tell me you don’t know this?” Arrogance flitted across the Gold Core stage martial artist’s face and he looked at Gu Liufeng in contempt. “If you don’t abide by Green Wood Realm’s rules, even if you leave, my Murong family will never let you go. So if you’re tactful you should either get lost, or you’ll obediently do what we tell you to do!”

That martial artist hadn’t yet finished speaking when a fierce red light shot from Gu Liufeng’s hand.

Uttering a shrill scream as he flew back several feet, the martial artist then smashed heavily to the ground.

His eyes opened wide as they filled with disbelief. On his chest, there was a still ablaze wound that spread him open from chest to abdomen.

“You…you–!” Blood continuously flowed from his mouth and his face was a terrifying sight, filled with obstinacy. Ultimately, he was unable to finish what he was saying before he stopped breathing.

All the martial artists who were watching this had the same frightened expression on their faces’ due to Gu Liufeng’s ruthlessness; whether they were Murong family subordinates or a few of the Nalan family subordinates.

While on the contrary, the group of people from Hexi’s side were completely unmoved regarding Gu Liufeng’s abrupt violence. To them, it was as if what he had killed was nothing more but an insignificant ant.

Instead, the rather gossipy Wu Yu leaned towards Gu Liufeng and whispered, “Oh, do you hate the Murong family?”

Gu Liufeng calmly retrieved his Long Sword, an indolent smile hanging on a corner of his mouth. “They’re nothing but a group of dressed up pigs that are unpleasant to the eyes, it’s best to slaughter them when you see them. What hatred are you talking about?”

Hearing that, Wu Yu let out a fit of laughter and didn’t bother trying to pry further into Gu Liufeng’s privacy. Rather, he pointed at a martial artist beside the white fog and demanded, “You, come here!”

That person was a middle-rank Meridians stage martial artist. After just witnessing Gu Liufeng’s ruthlessness, his face instantly turned white when he was called over and he wished he could dig a hole to hide himself in.

“Don’t call me, don’t call me! I…I’m not from the Murong family! I was staying here in the hopes that I could take advantage of any trouble that might occur.”

Wu Yu sneered, “Just come here when I tell you to! Talk any more nonsense and I’ll rip your tongue out of your mouth to be a snack that’ll accompany a glass of wine!”

The Meridians stage martial artist was scared witless and began shaking all over. Frantically rushing forwards he dropped to his knees before Wu Yu’s feet, trembling as he kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Chapter 286 – The White Fog’s Absorption Of Spiritual Power

Wu Yu crossed his arms in front of his chest as he asked, “Tell me, what’s with this strange white fog? Why did that useless trash from the Murong family say that even if someone’s cultivation base is high, they still couldn’t overturn the wind and the waves?”

How could a low-level martial artist ever dare to conceal the truth? Hurriedly, he replied, “Senior, please spare me my little life! I’ll tell you; I’ll tell you everything that I know!”

“I don’t know what formations are inside the fog, but, no matter how high a person’s cultivation base is, when they enter that white fog, their spiritual power will quickly start to drain away. Moreover, any methods you might have to control your spiritual power will become ineffective once inside. Even if it were a martial artist of Nascent Soul stage, they would also become an ordinary person without any cultivation base.”

“A person’s spiritual power will quickly drain away?” Wu Yu stroked his chin while frowning, then he said, “Do you know what happens to the ones who go inside?”

The martial artist’s face now looked somewhat frightened as he shook his head. “We went in for a while and found that the road ahead was endless and obscured. When we realised that the spiritual power within our bodies’ was draining at high speed, we escaped out of fear. This humble one had two companions with him who didn’t believe in evil. They went in, but…the Jade Life Tablets they left with this humble one shattered.”

If a Jade Life Tablet were to shatter, then that would mean that the martial artist who owned it had died.

Wiping away the perspiration on his forehead, the martial artist continued in a trembling voice, “Once this humble one left the white fog, this humble one discovered that after a full two hours my spiritual power restored itself. Unfortunately, during that period this humble one’s strength was lacking more fifty percent of its usual power. Due to that, this humble one nearly lost his life to all the martial artists who had surrounded the white fog hoping to collect any small advantage. If it were not for this humble one handing over several treasures, this humble one would’ve long been on the journey to the underworld.”

Wu Yu frowned as he turned to look at Nangong Yu and Hexi.

The white fog could absorb all of a martial artist’s spiritual power? This issue was indeed troublesome. Since the medicinal field was inside the white fog, it was unknown whether any of the martial artists who had previously entered had met with an ambush or if after they had left the medicinal field, with their spiritual powers wholly depleted, they just couldn’t resist an attack. It would’ve been like slaughtering fish in a barrel.

Wu Yu glanced at a few of the Gold Core stage martial artists standing nearby. Other than glaring towards Hexi’s group, none of them blindly attacked. Satisfied with how they were now acting, he said, “So now you stay here in the hopes that when someone comes out from inside, you can take advantage of their powerlessness to loot them? Didn’t the Murong family take control of this area? They still allow you all to take advantage here?”

Trembling, the low-rank martial artist broke out into a cold sweat before hanging his head and saying, “What the Murong family want is some of the rare spiritual plants inside the medicinal field. In particular, they seem to be looking for a seventh-grade spiritual herb known as the Mythical Heart Herb. The Murong family will thoroughly search every person that exits the white fog and then those that remain and are deemed unnecessary by them, are then left for us to search and divide between us.”

Wu Yu had nothing more to ask so he waved his hand and allowed the martial artist to return to where he’d previously been standing. Then, turning towards Nangong Yu, he said, “Master, the risk of entering the white fog is too big. It’s better to let me and Qing Long go to the medicinal field while you and Young Master Xi wait outside.”

“Out of the question!” Hexi immediately vetoed. “You wouldn’t be able to recognise any of the medicinal herbs, and you also don’t know to pick them safely. I want to go to the medicinal field by myself; you can wait outside.”

What a joke! Her space was the best place to transplant the medicinal herbs! If there were any precious spiritual plants in the medicinal field, she would of course straight away move them into her space to ensure their survival. If she didn’t go in herself, the damage to the herbs would be too significant.

Upon hearing that, Nangong Yu’s face instantly darkened. “Xi er, you should just drop the matter, I said before that I’d never let you leave me. Not to mention, letting you go to such a dangerous place alone is impossible!”
