Chapter 1642: The Third Quest

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“These people are all Earth Jianghu’s God-Ascension cultivators. Because they didn’t know the rules, I punished them.”

Chen Xiaobei swept his gaze across the room at the six demigods who were looking at the ground like frightened little children, too afraid to even breathe.

If the six of them served the temple well, the Northern Wilderness Temple Overlord would be like their God of Prosperity with an endless supplies of Spiritual Stones!

However, if they failed to do their jobs well, the Northern Wilderness Overlord would be like their Reaper, capable of taking their lives.

Right now, Chen Xiaobei was the new Temple Master of whom the Temple Overlord had approved of, and crossing Chen Xiaobei also meant crossing the Temple Overlord.

That was why the demigods were so afraid.

But Sima Liang stepped forward and said, “Mr. Chen! Although you killed Lu Gang, fixed the portal and rebuilt Atlantis, contributing your labour to the Overlord…”

Everyone turned their attention to him. He had just said ‘although’ which meant that the sentence was not yet complete!

“You have yet to complete the Overlord’s final quest! So, you’re not actually the official South Town Star Temple Master yet!” Sima Liang added with emphasis. “You don’t have the authority of the South Town Star Temple Master yet but you did as you pleased, and beat the guests until they looked like this! You disrespect the Temple! You disrespect the Overlord!”

Suddenly, everyone’s demeanor changed.

“Chen Zhufeng! The nerve you have!” Zhou Daoxian roared. “You are not the Temple Master yet and you have the nerve to humiliate us like that! How defiant!”

“Chen! You are a savage!” Xu Shiqiu added. “You did not have the authority yet you beat us without seeking permission! That’s insolence towards the Overlord!”

“No! That’s not simply a matter of insolence!” Ding Xiadong followed suit. “We are all invited guests of the Temple Overlord! Chen Zhufeng hitting us meant that he was slapping the Overlord in the face as well!

If Chen Xiaobei was the South Town Star Temple Master, these six demigods would not have criticized him so harshly.

However, it seemed that Chen Xiaobei was not the Master of the South Town Star Temple!

Sima Liang even appeared to be accusatory!

Sima Liang was the brains of the Northern Wilderness’ think-tank! He was the one who legitimized half of the important policies in Northern Wilderness Starfield. The other half required his input before being implemented!

If the Temple Overlord was the Emperor of the starfield, then Sima Liang was his left hand!

Sima Liang’s accusation indicated that Chen Xiaobei’s rise to South Town Star Temple Master was not yet complete!

That was why Zhou Daoxian and Xu Shiqiu dared to scold Chen Xaiobei.

The other six demigods were no fools either. They understood what was at stake and were infuriated.

“Overlord!” The demigods called out, complaining at once.

“Chen Zhufeng, this bastard is so conceited! He’s dictatorial and commits outrage! He has no respect for you! He’s such a despicable creature!”

“This kind of person should not be allowed to become the Master of South Town Star Temple! He’ll be like a cancerous growth to the Temple! He will stir up trouble for all of Earth’s Jianghu and make sure we have no way of getting by!”

“Please, Overlord, sir! No matter what, you cannot let Chen Zhufeng become the Temple Master!”

“Please Overlord… We beg you…”

The demigods had gone down on their knees, bowing their heads to the ground, crying out as if someone had just passed away.

“Everyone! Please calm down!” The Overlord finally spoke. “Mr. Chen and I have made an agreement. He needs to complete three quests in order to become the Master of South Town Star Temple! Right now, the third quest is about to begin. He may no be able to succeed!”

When they heard this, the six demigods were ecstatic, shooting spiteful glares at Chen Xiaobei.

It was obvious that the person that these demigods truly feared was the Northern Wilderness Overlord!

If Chen Xiaobei failed to complete the third and final quest, he would not be made the Temple Master nor would he receive the approbation and protection of the Overlord.

The demigods could then join forces and kill Chen Xiaobei.

On top of that, the Overlord had brought a large number of people with him. Those who had entered the grand hall were all the Overlord’s honored guests made of officials and dignitaries. Those who have yet to enter were no common people either!

Now that the whole situation had been blown out of proportion, if Chen Xiaobei failed to complete the third quest, he would not be able to leave this place!

Everything now completely hung on this final quest!

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “The Overlord came to Earth personally, which meant that you’ve come with the third quest ready. Let us not delay the matter further. Please announce the task!”

“Heh, Mr. Chen really is quite gutsy – swift and decisive like the wind, and never slow to agree!” The Overlord chuckled. “I have indeed brought you the final quest. Please come with me Mr. Chen, and you’ll see what the final task is!”

Everyone followed them out of the hall.

Outside was a plaza so spacious that one might have mistook it for a parking lot but instead of cars, there were hundreds of people standing in two groups.

On the left was a group of about 50 people all dressed in black robes. The expression on their faces were of contempt and malevolence, glaring at Chen Xiaobei as if they wanted to skin him alive!

Chen Xiaobei knew these people – they were all the core members of the South Town Lu family.

The master of the house Lu Mingjun was among them. There was also another old man whose aura was much stronger than Lu Mingjun – he was the Temple’s Core Elder, the great grandfather of the Lu family, Lu Tianheng!

The animosity between Chen Xiaobei and the Lu family could be summed into one word – interminable!

On the right side of the camp were also about 50 people, dressed in extravagant, expensive clothing, lined in swathes of copper, and wearing the same angry faces!

Chen Xiaobei recognized these people as well – they were the wealthiest family in Northern Wilderness Starfield, the Tie family!

The master of the family Tie Jingtao was the President of the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce. The other core family members such as Tie Nulang and Tie Hongji were present as well.

Previously, Chen Xiaobei had extorted 500 million Spiritual Stones from the Northern Wilderness Chamber of Commerce and killed Tie Nulang’s son, Tie Juzhe!

The hatred sowed between them could only be described in the same way – interminable!

What was this final task the Northern Wilderness Overlord had that brought the Lu family and the Tie family to Atlantis?
