Chapter 1140 - 1139: Pregnant
The Nether Emperor who intercepted Yusuf Zuck and Fatty was called Fang Ruan, a devotee under the Tian Di Bank.
The Tian Di Bank had many devotees, and essentially, these devotees were security personnel. After all, the Tian Di Bank was exceedingly wealthy, hence it was imperative to employ some powerful individuals to safeguard the bank.
The reason Fang Ruan came so quickly was firstly because he was near the troubled branch of Tian Di Bank, and secondly, the bank’s higher-ups had issued an urgent order for him to intercept them.
There wasn’t a secret command to kill these two men, just an order to intercept them for the duration of one incense stick. After the time of one incense stick, the bank owner himself would arrive.
Indeed, someone had targeted a sub-branch of Tian Di Bank, killing more than ten experts. Most importantly, the attackers claimed to possess Superior Immortal Spirit Stones. Thus, the deaths were secondary, and being targeted was secondary—the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones were the most crucial!
Because Superior Immortal Spirit Stones had an infinite allure for all Nether Cultivators, especially irresistible to the Ninth Rank Nether Emperor, since attaining the status of a Dao Lord also required a fusion, and Superior Immortal Spirit Stones were essential for the Fusion. It could be said that obtaining the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones could make one a Dao Lord, and being a Dao Lord elevated one to a divine ranking, making divinity within reach.
Thus, regardless of whether the news was true or false, despite not knowing what these two mysterious individuals were up to, since they had provoked the Tian Di Bank, they had to pay with their lives.
Fang Ruan had not expected these two individuals, who exhibited no signs of cultivation, to be so calm, even making plans on who should confront him. Thus, he became cautious, tensing up all over his body.
He too desired the Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, which is why he acted preemptively. If he could kill these two individuals before they acted, and if they truly had two Superior Immortal Spirit Stones, then he would at least get one for himself, with no one to contest it!
Thus, no matter where these two mysterious individuals had come from, he was determined to try and fight.
Moreover, he had never heard of any Ninth Grade Great Emperor or Dao Lord in The Nether World being fat like a pig, nor would any Great Emperor exchange Superior Immortal Spirit Stones for Superb Dark Stones. Thus, he concluded that these two were not any significant figures.
