SWNOVELS Chapter 2329 The Ruler
Guan Yi's body started to tremble in fear despite being the chief of the 13th Court.
He was very powerful himself, but he was nothing in front of Greedy Wolf, who was now also the Demon King.
"I will bow to you," he said with a lowered head as he fell to his knees.
He knew very well that if he dared to utter another word of disrespect, Greedy Wolf would kill him without hesitation and select a new Court Chief.
That wouldn't be the first time the Demon King of the past did something like that.
"You're quite clever after all," said Greedy Wolf calmly.
After that, he ignored Guan Yi as if he was worthless. His gaze swept across the faces of the other 17 Court Chiefs.
"Anybody else unwilling to bow?"
"Long live the Demon King!" Everyone shouted in unison. Their voices were loud enough to burst eardrums.
"Long live the Demon King!"
Their voices were thunderous.
Greedy Wolf gave them a pleased nod, then started walking towards the main court of the Underworld.
Golden light filled the place, and the main court deep within the Underworld was actually very far from where they were right now. But Greedy Wolf only needed two steps to reach the main court. The incredible method of walking he possessed sent shivers down the backs of the other chiefs.
The Demon King was still that Demon King they knew, but now, he was even more aggressive and cruel.
After accumulating a few centuries of violent hatred and viciousness, it was hard not to be frightening.
Greedy Wolf walked up to the highest seat and sat down on the black throne that was covered with skull carvings.
The 18 Court Chiefs knelt down before him and shouted respectfully, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
His aura filled the court.
The chiefs' voices echoed loudly.
Greedy Wolf's eyes were half closed as he said calmly, "Get up. Back then, the Heavenly Palace was destroyed and I nearly perished along with it. So you thought that the Underworld now belong to the 18 of you?"
None of the chiefs dared to speak.
"All of you have fought for your own territory and resources. How very bold," spat Greedy Wolf nastily. "You've made such a mess of the Underworld! So you thought I was really dead?!"
All 18 chiefs fell to their knees.
"We wouldn't dare to!"
Everyone's hearts were filled with fear. The Demon King's presence was too
frightening for them to bear.
"You'd better not dare to," scoffed Greedy Wolf. "I will not count this against you this time, but if this ever happens again, I will kill all of you!"
His tone of voice was exactly the same as before. He was still just as vicious and cruel as ever.
The 18 chiefs were very certain now that this man was really the Demon King, and was even more ruthless than before.
They didn't dare to say anything and remained on their knees with their heads bowed. All the confidence and pomp as well as that high and mighty aura they used to have had completely shattered in front of Greedy Wolf.
"The Heavenly Palace has been
destroyed, but it still has successors and supporters out there," said Greedy Wolf. "I want all of you to find everyone on their side and destroy them completely. That's the mission you have right now. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness!" replied the 18 chiefs loudly.
They were surprised to hear that the Heavenly Palace had not been entirely destroyed.
Back then, the Underworld had used everything they had, and lost more than half the Court Chiefs, including the Demon King. If those Court. Chiefs hadn't died, a number of them wouldn't have had the chance
to become chief now.
Greedy Wolf dismissed them so that they could sort out their teams and go on their mission. In no time, the once divided and chaotic Underworld had been reorganized and unified by Greedy Wolf. Nobody dared to rebel against the Demon King.
Even the chiefs knew that as long as Greedy Wolf wanted to, he could kill them instantly.
In the Underworld, the Demon King held the highest position and he was more than able to keep everyone else under his thumb. Nobody could go against him, and nobody could even challenge him. Otherwise, you would definitely die.
Greedy Wolf looked at the empty court before him and extended his line of sight. He could see Jiang Ning all the way in Donghai.
"So, you didn't die," he murmured to himself. "But you are no longer a match for me."
