Chapter 73 Dead From Madness

Chapter 73 Dead From Madness

Mei Ao and Hei Ling had naturally already arrived in Holy Cloud City. The two of them even saw how Yun Ming greeted Ciel so graciously, making them unable to help but be envious because here there weren't even commoners greeting them since they were completely unrecognized by anyone.

Actually, if the Mei Clan moved to the Holy Cloud Continent, they would also be one of the top factions, but still, in the entire Realm of Life, there were too many factions that were on par with them.

In the territory of a God, only the factions of other gods could earn a welcome.

And Ciel was from one of the most powerful God factions. Wherever he went, he was destined to get a big welcome even if it was in another Realm.

"I heard that the conflict between Yun Ming and Yun Xiao is getting more intense, the latter seems to be escalating quickly, possibly gaining support from the other side. It's possible that he could become an enemy to that bastard if he knows that he has the key to the Mountain King's tomb." Hei Ling said after a moment of gnashing his teeth.

Mei Ao glanced at him, but in truth he felt somewhat unconvinced.

Although he heard that Yun Xiao was the type of man who was very decisive, not even hesitating to fight people with big backgrounds, fighting Ciel was still something else.

Hei Ling knew Mei Ao's hesitation, so he continued, "if he feels threatened because the Ice Prince is close to Yun Ming coupled with the potential of obtaining the Mountain King's secrets, it could be that he acts against the Ice Prince. If it were me, I wouldn't be afraid. After obtaining everything, I would hide and cultivate secretly until I was strong enough to ignore the Ice Goddess. It can definitely be done with the secret. The Mountain King failed only because he was too reckless."

When hearing Hei Ling's speculation, Mei Ao couldn't help but show a serious expression, thinking that it was a possible thing. After all, chance sometimes made people fear nothing.

It was just that, he thought of something.

"Then what do we get out of it all?" he asked.

This question was actually a bit late because he was also too angry. But since the key wasn't his to begin with, he calmed down sooner.

After being able to think rationally, he began to have doubts about doing all this.

And his question was enough to make the furious Hei Ling freeze with his mouth open.

He was not only surprised, but also confused as the same question kept popping up in his head.

Yes? What would he get when he was already even out of the game? What he could do now was nothing more than spreading rumors and hoping Ciel was harmed by them. Just that, just really that.

As he continued to think about that, Hei Ling's head felt as if it wanted to explode. He started to get frustrated and his aura started to get chaotic, disturbing the people around because he was actually not weak either.

"Ahhhhhhhhh..." In the end, he actually screamed, so loud that Ciel, Yun Ming, and the others could hear it.

Commotion was common in this city, so no one really cared.

However, Ciel recognized the owner of the voice, so she couldn't help but stop Pegasus, making the others stop as well.

Quickly, Ciel found the figures of Hei Ling and Mei Ao.

The latter became panicked because he had already been found by Ciel.

Hei Ling, on the other hand, became even crazier.

Whoosh!

He then jumped onto the top of a very tall building.

While pointing his hand at Ciel, he shouted, "That bastard, the Ice Prince has stolen the key to the Mountain King's tomb from me. The key is in his hands now, if you want the secrets of the Mountain King, you can take it from him."

"...."

What he said instantly made the atmosphere of the city freeze. Even Yun Ming opened his mouth and thought, 'Mountain King's tomb, there really is its key.'

He spontaneously glanced at Ciel who showed no expression but calmness, and that instantly made him tremble.

He was trembling because the thought of jumping towards Ciel came to him. Fortunately he was still rational and could control his thoughts.

'No, no, I'll just be the Ice Prince's friend no matter what happens.' He quickly made up his mind, not wanting to change his mind.

After which, he shouted loudly at Hei Ling. "Evil creature, how dare you accuse the Ice Prince of stealing from you. Even if the Ice Prince has that key, it must be his. Such an extraordinary thing can only fall to a great being like the Ice Prince. Everyone, kill this evil creature to earn my thanks."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Instantly after Yun Ming shouted, dozens of people leapt towards Hei Ling, each one stronger than him.

Only an instant later, the place where Hei Ling was directly turned into a blaze.

"Ahhhhhhhhh..." Hei Ling's scream echoed out and the pain seemed to be enough to snap him out of the madness because after that he suddenly shouted, "please, please spare me, noooo, damn it, how dare you, I am the young master of the Hei Clan in the East Wind Continent, my grandfather is a Second Stage Demigod."

"..."

This situation made Ciel smile. He enjoyed it very much, enjoyed his power where he was always considered right and always the winner.

Only, he was also made aware of how much of an asshole the man beside him was.

He was actually asking people to take action just to get his thanks.

Who does he think he is?

Ciel thought that if in such a situation, he would say that smhe would reward those who helped him.

A while later, the situation finally calmed down.

Hei Ling had nothing left but his name, even his soul had become nothingness.

However, after that was done, people couldn't help but stare at Ciel again.

Some even seemed very interested in coming closer and perhaps saying something.

Sometimes, people would forget who they were and who they were dealing with when they were filled with greed. Therefore, they needed to be constantly reminded.

"Take one step closer, and I guarantee you and all those related to you will die." Ciel finally spoke, taking out the silver key with the dragon's crest, hanging it on his finger while looking at the people who seemed very interested in doing something.
