I am the Ultimate Villain, So What If I Kill a Protagonist

147: Chapter 147 Netherworld Divine SkillWuhua Mountain, Dragon Group meeting hall.

Before long, Ye Yun, dressed in a black leather coat and wearing sunglasses, walked in with a stylish swagger, making a dashing entrance into the sight of Mo Chou, Phoenix, and the others.

”Everyone, please forgive my intrusion and my lack of manners,” Ye Yun said.

Ye Yun’s tone was indifferent. While his words were apologetic, his demeanor showed no such humility, nor did he explicitly acknowledge the attention-grabbing stunt of jumping from the plane he had just performed.

The showboating had been shocking and the ordeal had been tough, but most importantly, he had thoroughly intimidated the members of the Dragon Group, achieving his intended effect.

For Ye Yun, this was enough.

Seeing the other party ”show weakness,” the hypocritical smile on Mo Chou’s face faded slightly.

He admitted that the Nether Palace possessed extraordinary strength, but one must not forget that his Dragon Group was not to be trifled with either.

Especially since there was an even sturdier backer behind him; he had absolutely no fear of Ye Yun or the Nether Palace behind him.

Mo Chou was deeply dissatisfied with Ye Yun’s behavior—trying to flex his muscles and intimidate him before even seeing the world properly.

Even Phoenix, standing to the side, frowned deeply.

True, the other party had indeed saved her life, but that was no reason for him to show off in front of the Dragon Group members.

Before Phoenix could speak, Mo Chou, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked coldly at Ye Yun with a flat expression. ”I presume this is the Underworld Palace Lord of the Nether Palace? Coming all this way to my Dragon Kingdom, is it to declare war on my Dragon Group, or perhaps even on the Dragon Kingdom itself?”

”May I ask who you are?”

Ye Yun looked with some confusion at Mo Chou, who was sitting in the main seat and seemed unfriendly toward him.

He was no fool; he could naturally tell from the seating arrangement that this person’s status and position were far above Phoenix’s.

The tension between them was palpable from the moment they met. Beyond the Dragon Group’s natural dislike for mercenaries like them, there was an even more important reason: his showboating earlier had likely displeased the other party.

Having spent over a decade abroad and becoming the leader of the Nether Palace, he had braved countless storms of gunfire.

When it came to understanding social nuances, Ye Yun couldn’t say he was an expert, but he was no longer the novice he once was.

”This is Mo Chou, our Dragon Group Deputy Leader and the person in charge of the Magic City headquarters, responsible for Dragon Group affairs in Magic City.”

”For the Underworld Palace Lord to offend the prestige of our Dragon Group right from the start, it seems a bit uncalled for.”

Although Phoenix was annoyed with Ye Yun, the other party had after all saved her life.

She also knew that Mo Chou held a special status, and she didn’t want the two of them to clash as soon as they met, so she acted as a mediator.

Sensing the attitudes of Mo Chou and Phoenix, Ye Yun lowered his own profile and offered a smile with a cupped-fist salute. ”So it is Deputy Leader Mo Chou before me. The earlier matter was indeed my oversight, and I apologize to Deputy Leader Mo Chou and everyone in the Dragon Group here.”

”No need for more words. The Underworld Palace Lord rarely visits without a reason; coming suddenly to the Dragon Kingdom and barging straight into our Dragon Group headquarters, surely you aren’t here just to perform your skydiving stunt.”

”I am an impatient person, so let’s get straight to the point. Why exactly have you come to my Dragon Group?”

Mo Chou couldn’t be bothered with hypocritical pleasantries with Ye Yun and laid his cards on the table.

”Uh! That direct?”

Ye Yun was a bit dumbfounded. Didn’t people in the Dragon Kingdom like to exchange a few pleasantries and hear a few compliments before getting down to business? By cutting off the conversation so bluntly, what was he supposed to say?

Collecting himself, he also dropped the hypocritical pleasantries and prepared to get straight to the point and state his purpose.

”Since Deputy Leader Mo Chou has put it this way, I, Ye Yun, will not hide anything. I have come here this time precisely to cooperate with the Dragon Group.”

”Oh? I wonder what kind of cooperation the Underworld Palace Lord wishes to have with my Dragon Group?”

Although he had long known what Ye Yun was going to say next, Mo Chou still feigned a look of shock.

Acting was all it was, and it wasn’t as if Mo Chou didn’t know how to act.

”I know that the Dragon Group possesses supreme authority throughout the Dragon Kingdom and can move unimpeded, but it is not as convenient abroad.”

”As long as Deputy Leader Mo Chou is willing, my Nether Palace has some influence abroad and can open doors of convenience for the Dragon Group members to cooperate fully with you.”

Ye Yun patted his chest, looking arrogant.

He dared to make such a bold claim, naturally, there was no element of bluffing in it.

The Nether Palace brand might not be effective in the Dragon Kingdom, but abroad, it was definitely more impressive than the Dragon Group.

”Heh!”

Upon hearing this, Mo Chou felt no temptation at all; instead, he looked disdainful. ”The Nether Palace is notorious abroad, while my Dragon Group guards the entire Dragon Kingdom. If we were to cooperate with your Nether Palace, wouldn’t that be lowering our status and becoming a laughingstock?”

”You!”

Ye Yun gritted his teeth in anger. He had originally intended to kindly offer help to the Dragon Group abroad, but he hadn’t expected the other party to be so unappreciative and mock him instead.

However, he was currently at a disadvantage; if he wanted to return to the Dragon Kingdom openly and honestly, he had to obtain the support of the Dragon Group.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful he, Ye Yun, was, if he offended the Dragon Group, he would likely find it difficult to stay in the Dragon Kingdom.

”To be honest, my Nether Palace possesses a supreme martial art, which is the treasure of our Nether Palace: the Nether Divine Art.”

”It can bring internal energy to perfection. While I dare not call it the number one martial art in the world, once learned, it is enough to enhance one’s strength.”

”I wonder if Deputy Leader Mo Chou is interested.”

With no other choice, Ye Yun had to bring out his other major trump card: the Nether Divine Art.

Speaking of the terrifying nature of the Nether Divine Art, take him, Ye Yun, for example: originally an ordinary person with no foundation, through practicing the Nether Divine Art, in less than ten years, he leaped to become a powerhouse in the Transcendent.

While this was certainly due to Ye Yun’s natural intelligence, the credit for the Nether Divine Art was also indispensable.

”Nether Divine Art? Could it be the treasure of the Nether Palace, the Nether Divine Art?”

At this, even Mo Chou could no longer sit still.

He had naturally heard of the Nether Palace’s peerless martial art, the Nether Divine Art.

It was said to be an extremely miraculous technique capable of cleansing the marrow and changing one’s physical foundation.

If one could cultivate it to the Great Completion stage, breaking through to the Transcendent would be an easy task.

Such a temptation was difficult to resist, even for Mo Chou.

”For the Underworld Palace Lord to pay such a heavy price, what do you want to get from my Dragon Group, or what do you want my Dragon Group to do?”

There is no free lunch in the world; even a child understands this, and how could Mo Chou not know it?

The price Ye Yun was paying this time was so high that what he was asking for was certainly not a simple request.
