My gorgeous wife Chapter 2237 - 2205: Interrogation

Back then in Blotto, when Ning Wangyang was being corroded by Behemoth’s Seal, he could have still resisted it with his will, but because something happened to the Nether Army, Ning Wangyang didn’t hesitate to let the Seal erode him, and in the end blocked the enemy for all the members of the Nether Army.

Ever since that time, Ning Wangyang entered a minor world and became a henchman of Behemoth, and only after Li Chen arrived did he finally break free of the Seal’s shackle.

It’s just that, as for who was right or wrong back then, that’s already long in the past.

If not for the help of the Seal, even Ning Wangyang probably wouldn’t have been able to block that calamity; that time, quite a few people would definitely have died.

But no matter how you put it, Behemoth, for his own selfish desires, let countless people die for nothing; this kind of thing, Li Chen could not afford to forget.

Ning Wangyang came this time precisely to accompany Li Chen as a witness.

What Li Chen didn’t quite expect was that, while they were fighting over there, the Abyssal Lord who had been ambushed, seeing the situation turn bad after being injured, actually fled in their direction.

That Abyssal Lord had truly been forced to desperation; if things went on like this, he would definitely fall here.

Upon seeing Li Chen and Ning Wangyang, although he didn’t expect them to be of any real help, using them as scapegoats to stall a bit and win himself some time to escape would still be good.

The Abyssal Lord charged over and directly stretched out both hands to grab at the two of them, his long Claws reflecting a chilling cold gleam.

Although the aura the two showed was only at the Demon King level, in the Abyssal Lord’s eyes, Demon Kings clearly didn’t count for much, and he was about to grab them and throw them toward the pursuers behind him.

However, to this Abyssal Lord’s surprise, the two actually neither dodged nor avoided, just stood there watching him rush over.

The Black Longsword at Ning Wangyang’s waist gave a gentle tremor; Unsheathed and sheathed again, in less than a ten-thousandth of a blink of an eye.

After pondering his own Divine Skills, Li Chen had once passed on some techniques to Ning Wangyang; Ning Wangyang, having received Li Chen’s Divine Skills, although Li Chen’s Divine Skills belonged to the Blade Dao Divine Power, could in some aspects still be used interchangeably.

This slash so fast it couldn’t be seen by the naked eye was a simplified version of Unsheathed.

With that single sword, the Claw reaching for him hadn’t even touched him yet before it dropped from midair.

On the other side, the Claw grabbing toward Li Chen had yet to touch him when it was instead rolled back by an even more majestic Power.

In an instant, the Abyssal Lord’s arm shattered inch by inch, and that reversed Power directly transformed into an even larger palm, which clenched the Abyssal Lord in its grasp.

The Abyssal Lord who had originally planned to drag Li Chen and Ning Wangyang down with him as meat shields to block the pursuers was instantly dumbfounded.

Weren’t these two Demon Kings?

He was only stunned for a heartbeat before the Abyssal Lord reacted; with not the slightest bearing of a Soul Realm expert, he immediately began begging for mercy: "My lords, spare my life! This small one had no eyes to see Mount Tai and offended the two lords; please, lords, forgive me!"

At this moment, the other Abyssal Lord who had been chasing closely also halted and stopped advancing.

No matter what, the Abyssal Lord who’d been grabbed was still his great enemy; even if wounded and greatly weakened, he could not easily capture the other alive, and even killing him would take some effort, yet these two strangers had seized him so effortlessly. There was no doubt that these two were far stronger than he was!

As for how much stronger, he didn’t dare to guess.

With a turn of thought, this Abyssal Lord prepared to turn and flee; he didn’t want to get involved with these two unfathomable fellows. Even if his enemy was right in front of him, he would rather wait until these two left before talking about anything else.

"Leave later." Li Chen said softly.

However, once he heard that voice, this Abyssal Lord ran even faster, in a single instant bolting a great distance away.

"Thunder and Lightning Laws?" Li Chen let out a slightly surprised hum.

By Li Chen’s side, before he could even speak, Ning Wangyang’s figure flashed and vanished.

As the Black radiance dispersed, he appeared again.

In Ning Wangyang’s hand he was already carrying that fleeing Abyssal Lord.

Clearly, no matter how profound his Thunder and Lightning Laws were, he couldn’t possibly escape from Ning Wangyang’s palm.

After all, Ning Wangyang now was a bona fide Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate!

And one whose strength was absolutely comparable to the True Realm.

A mere Seventh Rank Abyssal Lord being able to escape from Ning Wangyang’s hands—now that would be seeing a Ghost.

"My lord, I really didn’t mean to offend you, I was just fleeing in panic just now and accidentally collided with the two lords." At this moment, the Abyssal Lord who’d been seized first was pleading without a shred of backbone.

In a place like the Demon Realm, how many Spirit Crystals is backbone worth?

Staying alive is more important than anything; this is something everyone in the Demon Realm understands all too well.

"I ask, you answer." Li Chen’s light words shut both of them up.

As for the group of Subordinate’s who’d been waiting at the two Abyssal Lords’ sides to assist, upon seeing this scene, they didn’t even dare to fart, and scattered in all directions.

Li Chen had no interest in bothering with these small fry; he looked at the two and asked, "According to what you know, who are the current strongest figures in the Demon Realm, and where are they?"

Hearing Li Chen’s question, the two Abyssal Lords were both stunned, and subconsciously glanced at each other.

At this moment, Ning Wangyang suddenly spoke up: "I advise you to answer honestly. Otherwise, even if the boss doesn’t do it, I’ll personally butcher you."

"Y-yes, yes! This small one will leave nothing unsaid!" the two Abyssal Lords hurriedly pledged.

"At present, the strongest in the Demon Realm is said to be the Demon Emperor, who rules the eighteenth layer of space in the deepest part of the Demon Realm." One Abyssal Lord said, "It’s said the Demon Emperor’s strength has already surpassed the Soul Realm; as for what Realm he is exactly, no one knows, and no one dares to investigate."

"Besides the Demon Emperor?" Li Chen asked. The Demon Emperor was indeed a problem, but what he wanted to know was whether, in the Demon Realm, there were other experts above the True Realm aside from the Demon Emperor.

In particular, he wanted to know how many people actually knew about Behemoth.

"Besides the Demon Emperor, there should be several Purgatory Demon Lords who have been Cultivating in Hiding for many years. It’s said their strength had long since reached the Peak of the Soul Realm, and after the Banquet Era, they should have already stepped into the True Realm; it’s just that no one knows exactly how strong they are either. It’s only said that aside from their private sparring with each other, every challenger has died." The other Abyssal Lord said cautiously.

The True Realm, after the Banquet Era, was clearly no longer a secret; even this sort of Abyssal Lord already knew of the True Realm’s existence.

"Looks like we won’t get any useful information." Li Chen exchanged a glance with Ning Wangyang.

The Abyssal Lord who had been grabbed first thought, upon hearing this, that Li Chen was about to kill them, and hurriedly yelled, "My lord, wait, I know something!"

"At the end of the Flourishing Era, it’s said a Super Expert’s Soul returned to life! I...I know where this expert is!"

At these words, a sharp gleam flashed through Li Chen’s eyes.

"A Soul returning at the end of the Flourishing Era?"
