Chapter 1371 Nether King Er Ha Was... Captured

“Earth Prison?”On the silver warship, the corner of the man’s mouth curved upward slightly as he looked at the metal plate with great interest. The information about the small world called Earth Prison had not been sent back to him, but he was not in a hurry. Once his puppet completed the scan, he would have all the information he wanted, and then he would know why this small world was excluded from the great world.

Oh, in addition to Earth Prison, another small world called Immortal Cooking Realm was also independent of the Great Netherworld as well.

“This is getting funnier and funnier... Is this Great Netherworld trying to make me die of laughing? It looks like they know I will be here, so they transcended to the great world in advance to obtain the Laws of the Universe’s recognition. Are they trying to use this trick to defend against me?”

The man lightly tapped the metal plate with his forefinger, his eyes gleaming.

The metal door of the ship slid open from bottom to top with a hiss, and then a girl in revealing clothing walked out through it. She looked like a servant, and she was holding a tray with a glass of glittering fruit juice on it.

“Your orange juice is here, my lord.” She was beautiful, but her eyes were somewhat blank, and she looked at the man sitting in the chair as if she were looking at a lump of raw meat.

“Very good. You will be rewarded for your obedience,” the man said as he took the orange juice from her. He didn’t look at her.

When she heard that she would be rewarded, the girl’s eyes lit up slightly.

“Go to the lowest deck and feed my pets... Then I will give you a meal.” The man looked up at the girl with a faint smile on his lips, then he reached out a hand and stroked her smooth and flat stomach.

The girl did not move, and her eyes were as still as two pools of dead water again. She nodded, turned, and walked back into the ship, heading toward the lowest deck. Roars could be heard ringing out from where she was going.

Chuckling, the man narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the girl’s graceful figure disappear. “Oh? A signal...” Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he turned them back to the metal plate. His puppet was finally about to start scanning the small world called Earth Prison.

...

Business at Yellow Spring Little Restaurant remained brisk. Many customers were enjoying their food excitedly. Er Ha sat with his legs crossed, facing Yellow Spring Great Sage. A spicy strip dangled between his lips as he sat comfortably in the chair, and from time to time, he would push the strip into his mouth, then pull it out again. Yellow Spring Great Sage’s eyes were half-closed, and he was holding a jade wine jar that contained his most precious wine.

In addition to the spicy strips, Er Ha also ordered a set of Boiled Fish with Pickled Greens. It was a new dish Bu Fang had introduced in the past nine years. Technically, it was not a new dish—what he did was giving new life to an old dish. He had cooked it in a completely new way, which made it taste even more delicious. It would be a unique experience to eat the spicy strips and then the boiled fish.

Bu Fang had chosen the fat fishes in the Heaven and Earth Farmland as the main ingredient of this new Boiled Fish with Pickled Greens. Nourished by the Spring of Life, these fishes were extraordinary, and after being infused with the farmland’s Great Path, their meat was now a far cry from an ordinary fish. A dish cooked with them would enchant even Great Saints.

In fact, this dish had become one of the most popular dishes in the little restaurant. Many people had come here just to taste it.

All of a sudden, Er Ha narrowed his eyes. He glanced at Yellow Spring Great Sage, then raised his head and looked at the sky in surprise. He seemed to sense a strange aura hovering in the starry sky. He was not the only one. Many people in Earth Prison had sensed that as well, including Yellow Spring Great Sage, Tian Cang, and Lord Dog lying under the Path-understanding Tree.

“Yellow Spring, I’ll be right back. Don’t finish everything. Remember to leave some for me,” Er Ha said with a smile. He rose to his feet, told Tian Cang that he would be back soon, and then walked out of the restaurant.

Tian Cang watched with a gentle look on his face as Er Ha left. He did not say anything but turned, walked to the kitchen’s window, brought the dishes out, and served them to the customers.

Er Ha stepped out of the restaurant, kicked the ground, and soared into the sky without making any noise. Soon, he broke through the clouds and came to the starry sky. He was quite strong now. After becoming a Nine-revolution Great Saint, his fighting capacity had reached a very fearsome level.

Holding a spicy strip between his lips, Er Ha narrowed his eyes and looked at the tiny dot suspended in the distance. “Eh? That thing looks familiar... Could it be Lord Whitey’s relative?” he murmured in surprise, staring at the metal puppet.

The metal puppet’s chest had split, and light beams were shooting out of the gap to scan the small world when its movement suddenly paused. Its mechanical eyes turned and rested on Nether King Er Ha. Doing no other movements, the light beams shot out of its chest once again, scanning everything including Er Ha.

That gave Er Ha pause. He felt his whole body tremble after he was scanned by the metal puppet. It was as if he had been seen through by an invisible force.

“You’re spying on us?” Er Ha furrowed his brows. “How dare you scan Earth Prison right in front of me? Do you have any idea who is guarding Earth Prison now?” The spicy strip twitched between his lips, then he moved. His body turned into shadows and disappeared in the starry sky, leaving a line of afterimages before appearing before the metal puppet.

Bam!

His fist struck the puppet on the chest. However, this confidence blow of his did not move the puppet even a bit.

“How’s this possible? Why is this thing so tough?” Er Ha sucked in a cold breath. With his Nine-revolution Great Saint strength, he couldn’t even move the puppet? “Where did this puppet come from?” He focused his eyes, thinking that the puppet was sent here by Nether Puppeteer Patriarch to keep an eye on Earth Prison. He did not like her at all.

In the blink of an eye, he was clad in the Nether King Armor with the Nether King Halberd in his hand.

Because the puppet had scanned Er Ha as well, the man sitting in the chair on the silver warship exclaimed with great interest, “Oh? What a fierce small world. I can’t believe someone has rushed out even before the scan begins... Is that a native of Earth Prison? How interesting...” With the hint of a smile playing about the corners of his mouth, the man lightly touched the metal plate with his finger. “In that case, I’ll let my little darling play with you.” Smiling, he entered many instructions on the metal plate, his finger moving lightly over it.

In the starry sky, Er Ha immediately felt the changes in the metal puppet. It was a change in attitude. All of a sudden, one barrel after another emerged over the puppet’s arms, all aiming at him. It sent a shiver down his back. Not daring to underestimate the puppet, he clutched the halberd tightly. This metal puppet was no doubt an enemy. Otherwise, why would it attack him and fill his heart with such a dreadful feeling?

A loud boom rang out, and a golden energy shell shot out of one of the barrels. Er Ha’s hair stood on end instantly. He found the energy shell very familiar, and the power in it was extremely horrible. Without hesitation, he swung the halberd and unleashed an energy blast, which collided with the golden shell and exploded.

Powerful blasts swept out in all directions as a tremendous force impacted Er Ha and made him move back a great distance. Even the spicy strip in his lips had dropped.

“So strong?!”

He quickly produced another spicy strip and held it at the corner of his mouth. Then, he squinted at the metal puppet and took a deep breath. He was a man who had gone through the Demon Passes. Specially built for him by Tian Cang, the purpose of those passes was to improve his cultivation base, so the previous Nether King had included many cruel and brutal tests in them. They were literally tortures, but the benefits were obvious. After going through them, Er Ha’s combat skills had improved rapidly.

The metal puppet had not succeeded in its first strike, so it attacked again. Six cold barrels emerged on one of its arms, all aiming at Er Ha. The next moment, flames poured out of them as they began to spin at the same time, filling the air with a clicking sound, while one shell after another shot rumbling out.

Er Ha’s pupils constricted. He had a hard time against the first shell, and now the puppet was shooting... eighteen shells at him? He saw those barrels turned three times, which meant they had shot three rounds. If all eighteen of them exploded together... The corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he sped away, flying across the starry sky as fast as he could.

However, eighteen energy shells roared across the void like a swarm of hornets, chasing after him. No matter how he dodged, he could not escape them. It made his scalp numb. He felt the will of the metal puppet was locked onto him. It was similar to the divine will, but it seemed more extreme.

The shells were too fast, and Er Ha knew that he could not escape them. His only choice was to face them. So he held the Nether King Halberd tightly before him, and his Nether King Armor burst into a blinding light.

BOOM!

Shafts of dazzling light broke out as eighteen shells fell at the same time and struck Er Ha. A terrible explosion erupted in an instant. For a moment, flames spread as far as the eye could see. The whole starry sky seemed to be burning while dreadful fluctuations swept out in all directions.

Amid the explosion and flames, a clanging sound rang out, which was accompanied by Er Ha’s explosive cry. The Nether King Halberd was blown into several pieces, falling quickly toward Earth Prison, while the Nether King Armor had been shattered and was scattering across the void. As for Er Ha, he was covered in blood with the spicy strip still held between his lips. His body was lying feebly in the void, looking as if he was about to fall from tens of thousands of meters in the air.

Buzz...

The metal puppet emerged, raised a hand, and shot out a metal net, which spread and caught Er Ha like a fish. After that, its mechanical eyes continued to scan Earth Prison, and soon, a virtual map appeared in them. When it was done, the puppet picked up Er Ha, who was struggling like a fish in the net, and sped away.

...

In Earth Prison, a black dot fell rapidly from the sky, whistled through the air in a flash, and smashed into the ground, collapsing the earth. The fragment of the Nether King Halberd sank deep, with wisps of black smoke rising from it.

Many experts sensed that in an instant, and their faces fell. Ying Long, who was at the Nether King Palace, widened his eyes, while the Hollow Eye Staff in his hand flashed.

“Nether King got into trouble?” The old Prison Overlord sucked in a cold breath.

In Yellow Spring Little Restaurant, Tian Cang, placing down a dish on the table, halted his movements. The gentle smile on his face vanished in an instant and was replaced by a cold look. At the same time, under the Path-understanding Tree, the black dog opened his eyes and gave a soft cry of surprise. Yellow Spring Great Sage had just reached his chopsticks into the steaming Boiled Fish with Pickled Greens in front of him. He was about to put the glimmering white flesh into his mouth when the fish was crushed by him and fell back into the bowl.

Bu Fang, cooking in the kitchen, also furrowed his brows, somewhat puzzled.

At this moment, they all sensed an unusual aura, which made their faces turn extremely grave.

...

In front of the silver warship, the man took a sip of the orange juice and smiled warmly. Suddenly, he turned to look in the direction of Nether Prison. A vague black fog emerged there, then began to move quickly toward the warship with a dog paw looming inside.
