I Am Overlord

Chapter 1806: Long-Awaited Reunion

The Imperial Nether Clan had sent more than one Nine Revolutions Realm expert.
There were three of them, with the one holding Ming Fu captive being the strongest of them.
He was a Six Revolutions expert, a right-hand man of the Nether Monarch's.
His name was Ming Xuepan.
Ming Fu might be an Imperial Nether Clan princess, but there was no comparing her to an old monster like Ming Xuepan.
Ming Xuepan did not even care about her status.

Before Xiang Shaoyun could say anything, Ming Fu clenched her teeth and said with tears dripping down her eyes, “He's not my son! He's not my son!”

Ming Fu was no fool.
On the contrary, she was quite smart.
She knew that her clan members were only doing this to force Xiang Shaoyun to make an enemy out of the humans.
That way, he would return to the Imperial Nether Clan.

From the moment Xiang Yangzhan had refused to acknowledge her, she had understood that point.
Her heart ached greatly, but for the sake of her son, she had still decided to not acknowledge her son, a great demonstration of how much parents cared for their children.

“It doesn't matter if you refuse to tell the truth.
I believe the nineteenth prince will be honest, right?” asked Ming Xuepan with a toying look.

Prior to this, they had ascertained that Xiang Shaoyun was a filial son.
He wouldn't have hid for ten years during his youth just for the sake of regaining his family sect.
Furthermore, he had once gone deep into the Devil Domain in search of his mother.
Additionally, he had also braved countless dangers at the Wumo Pass to rescue his father.

Xiang Shaoyun walked on thin air and said, “Release my mother, and I won't create any trouble for the Imperial Nether Clan.
Otherwise, the Imperial Nether Clan will be my sworn enemy.”

In truth, Xiang Shaoyun did not feel any malice toward the Imperial Nether Clan.
After all, that was his mother's clan.
It did not matter if they were devils.
After all, a child should never think badly about his mother.
Regardless of his mother's race or appearance, none of that could be changed.
He could only accept it.
However, he could not tolerate them holding his mother hostage against him.

“Hahaha, so long as you admit that she's your mother, that is enough.
Ming Fu can stay with you from now on,” said Ming Xuepan.
With a hearty laugh, he pushed Ming Fu toward Xiang Shaoyun, looking like he really wasn't going to create trouble for Xiang Shaoyun anymore.

At this time, Xiang Yangzhan came over and said, “Son, are you blind? She's not your mother! This is the Imperial Nether Clan's conspiracy!”

The Imperial Nether Clan did not wish to make an enemy out of Xiang Shaoyun.
They did not want to see Xiang Shaoyun become humanity's savior, either.
With how mistrustful the humans were, Xiang Shaoyun would no longer be able to gain a footing among them after this.
It would only be a matter of time before he aligned himself with the Imperial Nether Clan.

If Xiang Yangzhan could understand that, how could Xiang Shaoyun, the owner of the Light of Wisdom, not understand? But it did not matter to him.
He would not abandon his mother.

He caught Ming Fu and smiled at his father as he said, “Father, mother, we're finally reunited.”

That sentence alone caused all of Xiang Yangzhan's words to be stuck in his throat.
Ming Fu's cheeks streamed with tears.
She also couldn't find anything to say.
As for the surrounding people, an uproar broke out among them.

“Xiang Shaoyun is really a devil? I was wondering why he has the Imperial Nether Clan's abilities.
So it turns out the previous rumors are true!”

“No wonder the Ziling Sect is fearlessly conquering the Western Desert.
So they're actually working for the devils? We can't spare these traitors!”

“He must be the biggest undercover devil we have in our midst.
I don't understand why Lord Ge Yi accepted him as a disciple and guaranteed his identity as a human.”

“I think the Guardians Guild needs to muster their army and attack the Ziling Sect.
We can't allow them to keep growing.”

“Xiang Shaoyun is done growing.
It won't be that easy to suppress him now.”

…

People from numerous different organizations were present, and after they ascertained that Xiang Shaoyun was a devil, they felt an instinctive dislike for him.
Of course, most of them merely disliked him because they were envious of his accomplishments at such a young age.
If he was given more time, perhaps even the entire dominion would fall under his rule.
That wasn't something they wanted to see.

After all, these people were all used to lording their own corner of the world.
They were not willing to submit to anyone.

The Imperial Nether Clan took the chance to leave.
Before leaving, Ming Xuepan did not forget to say, “Nineteenth prince, the Nether Monarch said that you're welcome to visit at any time.”

Clearly, Ming Xuepan was trying to fan the flames to make sure that the humans would hate Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun ignored Ming Xuepan.
He knew what the devil was planning, but he did not care.
It was only a matter of time before his bloodline became common knowledge.
There was no point trying to hide it.

If he lost the courage to acknowledge even his mother, he might as well kill himself.
With the Imperial Nether Clan's departure, Xiang Shaoyun brought Xiang Yangzhan and Ming Fu back to the sect.

“Son, be careful.
I'm afraid some people are going to turn hostile,” reminded Xiang Yangzhan.

Ming Fu was still tearing up as she said, “Sorry.
This is all my fault.”

“Alright, Father, Mother.
Don't worry.
Your son is not someone just anyone can kill,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
He released Gui Qi and Money and said, “Keep watch over the sect.
Kill anyone who dares to try anything against the sect.”

“Yes!” answered both Gui Qi and Money.

The two released their powerful auras, causing the surrounding people to retreat in fear.
Just like that, two more super experts had appeared among the Ziling Sect's ranks.
This was getting ridiculous.

Xiang Shaoyun then brought Ming Shi, who was finally free of interference, high into the sky.
There, an intense battle was ongoing between the many super experts.
Among them, the most intense fight involved Mo Dingtian and Wu Xie.

As one of the nine powerhouses, there was no doubting Mo Dingtian's strength.
As for Wu Xie, he was Venerable Yuan Shi's son.
Having inherited a powerful bloodline, he was no weaker than Mo Dingtian.
It wouldn't be easy for either of them to defeat the other.

On the other side of the battlefield, Gan Bazhou proved himself capable.
He was able to seriously injure Mao Jiuming even though he was facing both He Ma and Mao Jiuming at the same time.
If it wasn't for He Ma's powerful poison, he would have been seriously injured as well.

The battle between the Guardians Guild members and people like Uncle Yuan, Tan Xinji, and Nangong Shangbing was also ongoing.
When Xiang Shaoyun arrived with Ming Shi, Ming Shi released a terrifying aura that shocked even Mo Dingtian.

“Kill him,” commanded Xiang Shaoyun.

Ming Shi naturally obeyed and attacked Mo Dingtian with all his strength.
Mo Dingtian was already having a hard time against Wu Xie.
With Ming Shi joining the fight, he stood no chance.

“Just you wait, Xiang Shaoyun.
It won't be long before you become humanity's enemy.
Let's see if you can still be as cocky at that time,” said Mo Dingtian before fleeing.

Gan Bazhou naturally didn't dare to stay alone.
He immediately fled as well.
Only the Guardians Guild members remained with an air of arrogance around them.
They believed that Xiang Shaoyun would not dare to lay hands on them.
