Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Void.

Wa Huang’s Palace.

"Are you willing to become my disciple?" Wa Huang asked Peacock Great Ming King.

However, Peacock Great Ming King sat cross-legged with eyes closed, not responding to Wa Huang’s words.

Wa Huang: "?????"

"Are you willing to become my disciple?" Wa Huang asked again.

Yet, Peacock Great Ming King still ignored him.

Peacock Great Ming King’s reaction made Wa Huang furious.

Who is Wa Huang?

One of the four Innate Great Beings, those who wish to become her disciples could line up from the Void to the heavens and earth.

Yet, Peacock Great Ming King remained indifferent to this.

Moreover, she had incurred a tremendous ancestral debt to Daoist Ancestor to save Peacock Great Ming King.

Logically speaking, given this life-saving grace alone, should Peacock Great Ming King have such an attitude?

In the past, it was always others seeking warmth from Wa Huang’s cold stance.

For the first time, Wa Huang’s warm gesture faced a cold rejection!

"How unreasonable!"

"Are you deaf or something?" Wa Huang said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Peacock Great Ming King responded.

Peacock Great Ming King opened his eyes, looking at Wa Huang with a playful gaze: "I’m not deaf, I just don’t want to engage with you."

Wa Huang: "?????"

"Fine, very well!"

"No one has ever dared to show such disrespect to me!"

"I could slap you dead, treating it as saving an ingrate!" Saying this, Wa Huang raised her hand, ready to take Peacock Great Ming King’s life.

However, Peacock Great Ming King was not afraid; instead, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Huang quickly grabbed Wa Huang’s hand, secretly transmitting a message: "Little sister, you cannot kill him!"

"If you kill him, our efforts were in vain, and the tremendous ancestral debt to Daoist Ancestor is for nothing?"

"Besides, can’t you see? This young one is seeking death."

"He’s deliberately provoking you, waiting for you to kill him. If you do, you fall into his trap."

Xi Huang was right; Peacock Great Ming King was indeed seeking death.

Peacock Great Ming King knew that once he entered Wa Huang’s Palace, escaping wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover, Wa Huang likely intended to use him.

In any case, Peacock Great Ming King would never help oppress others or harm his friends and companions.

That’s why Peacock Great Ming King deliberately provoked Wa Huang, hoping she would kill him.

What a pity!

Xi Huang was too clever, seeing through Peacock Great Ming King’s intentions immediately.

With Xi Huang’s words, Wa Huang came to her senses.

She glared at Peacock Great Ming King and snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

"Almost fell for your cunning plan; unafraid of your refusal, I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

While Wa Huang was stronger than Xi Huang, in terms of wit, she was far inferior.

Wa Huang had no means to force Peacock Great Ming King into submission.

It didn’t matter if Wa Huang couldn’t find a solution.

Wa Huang knew her brother Xi Huang would surely have a way.

"Brother, this young one would rather die than submit, what now?" Wa Huang asked Xi Huang.

Xi Huang pondered and said to Wa Huang, "Let me persuade him."

"This young one is stubborn; he isn’t afraid of death, force won’t work."

Wa Huang considered, then transmitted the message: "I’ll leave this matter to you, brother."

While Xi Huang and Wa Huang communicated privately, Peacock Great Ming King guessed they were plotting something.

But Peacock Great Ming King had decided, no matter their schemes, he’d respond with silence like Xu Shu entering Cao’s camp.

In any case, betraying his companions was out of the question.

After Wa Huang left, Xi Huang attempted to persuade Peacock Great Ming King.

"You know Wa Huang’s strength, and her cultivation technique aligns well with yours."

"Becoming Wa Huang’s disciple could greatly enhance your power, perhaps one day rivaling the World Honored!" Xi Huang spoke slowly.

If it were Wa Huang speaking beside Peacock Great Ming King, he would certainly ignore her.

But since Xi Huang was speaking now.

Peacock Great Ming King held a favorable impression of Xi Huang, as Xi Huang had insisted on protecting him despite knowing he couldn’t defeat the Demon Lord.

Peacock Great Ming King looked at Xi Huang and replied indifferently, "Power obtained through betraying companions, however great, I won’t want."

"Wa Huang paid a great price to save you..." Xi Huang continued.

Peacock Great Ming King coldly replied, "I didn’t ask her to save me!"

"Nine days, in nine days, the World Honored will prove the Dao!"

"Your companions will ultimately become World Honored’s puppets."

"We’re saving you, saving you, do you understand?" Xi Huang earnestly persuaded.

Peacock Great Ming King replied with a serious expression, "I don’t care!"

"I’d rather die fighting alongside them!"

"You...

"You’re truly stubborn!" Xi Huang was infuriated, his beard shaking.

Xi Huang looked at Peacock Great Ming King, Peacock Great Ming King stared at Xi Huang; the two were locked in a fierce gaze.

After a long stalemate, Peacock Great Ming King spoke voluntarily: "I can join Wa Huang’s Palace, but I have a few conditions."

Seeing Peacock Great Ming King relent, Xi Huang’s eyes lit up.

"What conditions? Speak." Xi Huang asked.

Peacock Great Ming King calmly stated: "A wager, on the great battle nine days from now, let me leave, I want to participate."

"If the World Honored wins, I will join Wa Huang’s Palace and follow your commands thereafter."

"If the World Honored is defeated, you let me go."

As Peacock Great Ming King spoke, Xi Huang grasped his intentions.

If the World Honored wins, the world would be the World Honored’s, and Peacock Great Ming King could use Wa Huang’s Palace’s power to cause trouble for the World Honored.

If the World Honored is defeated, they win, and let him return.

Though the current situation favored the World Honored’s victory, the wager still significantly benefited Peacock Great Ming King.

At this moment, Wa Huang’s voice echoed around, evidently monitoring the situation from the shadows.

Or perhaps nothing in Wa Huang’s Palace escaped Wa Huang’s notice.

"If the World Honored wins, as you said."

"Letting you return is impossible."

"If the World Honored is defeated, you imprison yourself in Wa Huang’s Palace, is this acceptable?" Wa Huang inquired.

Without hesitation, Peacock Great Ming King agreed: "Okay!"

In fact, all conditions were of no concern to Peacock Great Ming King.

What he cared about was the great battle nine days hence.

That battle, he must partake.

His intent was to die fighting.

Nine days hence in the great battle; as long as he dies fighting, the ancestral debt with Wa Huang’s Palace will naturally end.
