Indestructible God King

Chapter 161.1 The Demon Sovereign's Questioning (1/2)

Wang Ke rushed out of his manor, not minding to leave any instructions for his subordinates. All because he heard his boss calling! He would not dare delay in the slightest.

He traced the origin of the voice and quickly reached a small courtyard located on top of a hill in the Dragon Cultivation Town.

The courtyard had a ghostly feel to it, and there was no one to guard it. Still, it was enveloped by a dense mist, which was obviously an array protecting the perimeter.

"Your subordinate, Wang Ke, greets...!" Before Wang Ke could finish his sentence

"Come in!" said the voice from inside the courtyard.

Wang Ke entered the courtyard. After looking around for a moment, he found the one who summoned him standing on the porch of a house. His back facing Wang Ke, the person wore a black robe and held a glass of wine. He gazed at the God Wang Towers construction site in the distance; a devil's mask was placed on the table next to him.

"Divine Dragon Branch Lord Wang Ke greets the Demon Sovereign!" Wang Ke bowed respectfully.

What brought the Demon Sovereign here? Wang Ke was frightened by the voice that summoned him. He was careful, not daring to fool around since he was in the presence of the Demon Sovereign himself.

"Wang Ke? Do you know why I summoned you here?" said the Demon Sovereign, still standing with his back facing his subordinate, using a peaceful tone after taking a sip of his wine.

The reason why you summoned me? Wang Ke immediately understood what had happened. It had to be because his boss had grown suspicious about his identity. He could also sense a murderous aura emanating from the powerful cultivator. You want to kill me?

But the more critical the situation is, the calmer I need to be.

"Please pardon me for not knowing!" Wang Ke replied in a respectful tone.

"You don't know? Heh. Do you really not know, or are you feigning ignorance?" the Demon Sovereign questioned him with a chilling voice.

"I really don't know! Please guide me!" Wang Ke said.

There's no way Id take the initiative to confess to anything right now! What if hes thinking about a completely different matter? Wouldn't I be blamed for two wrongdoings? It's better to wait for the boss to speak first!

"The Heavenly Wolf Sect's Righteous-Qi Sword confirmed your righteous status! Tie Liuyun led his followers and peers to support your promotion and become the East Wolf Deputy Hall Lord? Chen Tianyuan's good disciple! And the company you opened received full support from the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Golden Crow Sect? Hehe, these are all your grand accomplishments!" said the lofty expert after lifting his cup of wine.

Wang Ke was shocked. Damn, you know everything that happened in the Heavenly Wolf Sect?

"Uhh, thank you for the compliments, Demon Sovereign. I'm just fulfilling my duty!" Wang Ke answered back immediately.

The leaders hand shook when he heard Wang Ke. What did you say? You thanked me for complimenting you? Do you really think I was praising you? Didnt you notice I was being sarcastic?

The Demon Sovereign held his glass and waited for a while. But Wang Ke only acknowledged his 'praise' and stayed silent.

The Demon Sovereign: ".......................!"

"Humph, Wang Ke. Don't you have anything you want to explain to me?" the latter asked.

"Explain? Demon Sovereign, I told you about it back when we were on Divine Dragon Island. I wanted to release that batch of prisoners and use them as a ticket back to the Heavenly Wolf Sect! You knew about it back then, and I only carried out my duty; it was part of my responsibility. Demon Sovereign, your high praise makes me feel embarrassed!" Wang Ke said with a guilty tone.

The Demon Sovereign: ".......................!"

Was there a problem with my expression? Was I praising you? I'm obviously interrogating you!

"What's with your God Wang Company?" the Demon Sovereign asked with a deep voice.

"Yes, Demon Sovereign, please hear me out. You showed me a great favor and appointed me as the Divine Dragon Branch Lord, but the recruitment effort involves money; it wouldn't be reasonable for disciples to pay me money to support me, right? That's why I opened the God Wang Company to collect money from the righteous disciples and use it to develop our Divine Dragon Branch! O wise Demon Sovereign, here's an insurance plan sample; please take a look!" Wang Ke handed his insurance plan over.

The Demon Sovereign did move to receive it, as though he had already read it before.

"Your insurance plans are boosting the righteous sects morale. Haven't you thought about that?" the latter asked.

Wang Ke replied passionately, "Oh, Demon Sovereign, you've read the insurance plan already! Aiya, that's good! I'm sure that someone as mighty as you was able to see that this is hard-earned money! I had no other choice! It was all for the sake of developing the Divine Dragon Branch! Someone has surely been badmouthing me in your presence! But I am indeed putting my heart and soul into the Divine Dragon Branch! To prove my case, I'm even building a second God Wang Tower in the Dragon Cultivation Town! Ive already made it clear that this new tower is aimed to serve the demonic sects disciples. When the time comes, the same insurance plans can too be sold inside the demonic sect! Any demonic disciple who thinks that I'm trying to support the righteous side can come and purchase an insurance plan from me! They can use this as a way to give me a good slap in the face, if they claim that I'm trying to boost the righteous faction's morale! Have them buy more insurance plans to boost the demonic side's morale even more! If the demonic disciples buy them, the demonic sect will eventually be brimming with morale!"

The Demon Sovereign remained silent for a moment. He had already realized that his subordinates plans were just made to rake in cash. But still, some were still throwing accusations. The good thing was that Wang Ke was blatantly publicizing his second towers project for the demonic sect, which covered his bases in a way.

Even the Demon Sovereignwho had seen through the schemes of countless peoplefelt that Wang Ke's words were creepy as hell.

"I heard you used my name to exert authority and throw your weight around in the demonic sect? Just a short while ago, when some disciples went to cause you trouble, you dared to use my name to pressure them?" the demonic leader asked with a threatening voice.

"Yeah!" Wang Ke answered without missing a beat.

The Demon Sovereign: ".......................!"

Shouldn't you be trembling in fear and confessing your wrongdoings? Why did you sound so proud when you said 'yeah'?

Wang Ke explained himself as if it were a matter of course, "Demon Sovereign, you named me Divine Dragon Branch Lord personally! How can I be the same as the other Branch Lords? This was a personal bestowal, which means that I'm basically seen as your disciple already! It was only natural! Those Branch Lords acted so proudly because they thought they were hot stuff since they served some Parlor Lords. But, which Parlor Lord can surpass you, my mighty Demon Sovereign? I'm your disciple! If I crack under so little pressure, like an easy target to be bullied, I would only be a disgrace to you!"

The Demon Sovereign: ".......................!"

"My sovereign, don't worry; you can investigate as much as you want. I didn't randomly use your name for selfish reasons! I'm very clear on this! Every time I mention your name, I'm only expressing the fact that you are the one who named me Branch Lord. I'm proud of this Divine Dragon Token, and that you personally promoted me. Why can't I shout to let the world know this? The other Branch Lords are backed by some Parlor Lords, but you, the Demon Sovereign himself, are my backing! That is why I'm proud to be the Divine Dragon Branch Lord! I think this is a very understandable situation! Demon Sovereign, did someone complain about my actions?" Wang Ke asked curiously.

The powerful leader sipped his wine while suppressing the slight frustration in his heart. Complain? Far worse than that! Our demonic sect's intelligence unit has been sending me full-blown accusations!

But how did the same accusations become the foundation of your pride?

"Someone told me about the passionate love affair between you and the Golden Crow Sect's Zhang Li'er, rescuing both her and Zhang Shenxu in public. You even saved her juniors too, all because of love!"

"Rumors! Those are definitely rumors! Demon Sovereign, please be the judge for my sake!" Wang Ke complained angrily.

The Demon Sovereign: ".......................!"

Damn, news about this has already spread far and wide among the righteous disciples. The Golden Crow Sect even proved it for you! And you have the gall to say this is just a rumor?

"First, about the thing with Zhang Li'er and me, Zhu Hongyi and Zi Bufan were there. I insisted that I didn't like Zhang Li'er; shes the one whos chasing me relentlessly! Only then I found that someone had been spreading rumors that Zhang Li'er liked me. It's Mo Sanshan, that geezer! Somehow, I have become a thorn on his side! Damn him for spreading so many rumors about me!" Wang Ke raged indignantly.
