Chapter 0439: Receiving Favor and Still Being Disgraceful
“Get up, all of you!” Archibald glanced at the members of the Lance Tribe and other god-tier powerhouses from the Purple Moon Mountains, speaking calmly yet with overwhelming authority.
“Thank you, Lord Archibald!” Simpson and the others replied respectfully in unison, as nearly 100 million god-tier powerhouses stood up.
Archibald turned his gaze from them to Huang Long and asked, “Huang Long, why have you come here?”
Before Huang Long could answer, Simpson stepped forward and replied respectfully and obsequiously, “Lord Archibald, this Huang Long has come to the Lance Tribe to find Xide.”
“Oh?” Archibald was surprised. He then looked at Xide behind him and said to Huang Long, “Do you two know each other?”
Xide and Huang Long knew each other?!
In fact, not only was Archibald curious, but even Simpson and the others wanted to know how Xide knew Huang Long—or why he “abducted” Huang Long’s family; it couldn’t have been done for no reason.
Xide replied respectfully, “Yes, Lord Archibald. We actually met two thousand years ago.”
Two thousand years ago? Everyone around was shocked as they looked at Xide. According to rumors, Huang Long had just entered the Netherworld two thousand years ago, right?
Archibald became even more interested. Xide had known Huang Long two thousand years ago?
However, he didn’t press further. Instead, he turned to Huang Long with a smile and said, “Heh, Huang Long, so you two knew each other. Have you come here to catch up with Xide?”
Catch up? Simpson and the others looked puzzled.
Huang Long sneered, “Exactly.” He had indeed come to “catch up.”
Seeing Huang Long’s expression, Archibald frowned, sensing that something was wrong. At that moment, Simpson stepped forward and couldn’t help but say, “Lord Archibald, Huang Long came to the Lance Tribe to find Xide because he claims that his family’s disappearance two hundred years ago is related to Xide.”
Only then did Archibald realize things weren’t as he had imagined. Family disappearance? He turned to Xide and glared at him, “Xide, is what Huang Long says true?!”
If this were true, given Huang Long’s status, he couldn’t side with the Lance Tribe.
“Archibald, this Huang Long is lying!” Xide replied, his expression resolute and angry.
Clearly, Huang Long’s “lies” had angered him.
Everyone watched Xide.
With the arrival of Archibald and the others, some god-tier powerhouses from the Purple Moon Mountains quietly watched the drama unfold. Now that Xide was accusing Huang Long of lying, things were getting interesting.
Archibald’s expression remained calm. “Is that really the case?!”
“Absolutely true!” Sid swore, then said with hatred, “Two thousand years ago, I accompanied Moira in searching for the Purple Ganoderma in the Valley of Poisonous Winds. Later, when Moira and I found one, the Yellow Dragon suddenly appeared, trying to snatch it.” Sid spoke slowly, pausing slightly at this point.
Archieber’s eyes flickered, while Simpson and the others never expected Sid and the Yellow Dragon to have such a story.
So, their conflict stemmed from the Purple Ganoderma.
Of course, the Yellow Dragon and Sid had a dispute over it, but in reality, it was the Yellow Dragon who first discovered the Purple Ganoderma, only for Sid and Moira to suddenly appear and take it.
“The Yellow Dragon tried to snatch it on the way, so I naturally got angry and attacked him. In the end, not only did he fail to get the Purple Ganoderma, but he was also severely injured by me and fled in panic. Before leaving, he uttered a vicious threat, saying he would make the Lansi Tribe disappear from the Netherworld within ten thousand years!” Sid said.
Everyone was shocked!
The Yellow Dragon, that legendary figure of the Netherworld, had been severely injured by Sid?! And he fled in defeat?!
Everyone stared at Sid intently.
Once this news spread, it was imaginable that Sid’s “fame” would likely “outshine” that of the Yellow Dragon.
“Now, with the Yellow Dragon’s strength increased, he’s come to the Lansi Tribe, claiming he captured his family, but it’s just an excuse to exterminate us!” Sid said, pointing at the Yellow Dragon with anger.
Everyone was stunned and looked at the Yellow Dragon.
Could this be true?!
The Yellow Dragon wanted to destroy the Lansi Tribe, so he came up with such an excuse?!
The Yellow Dragon watched everything coldly.
Meanwhile, Bog and the others were furious. Others might not know about what had happened back then, but they did. Sid was utterly shameless, even resorting to slander!
“That Yellow Dragon had just entered the Netherworld at the time and encountered Mingyu from the Dark Moon Tribe. It was Mingyu who led them to the Purple Moon Mountains,” Sid continued.
Two thousand years ago, Mingyu?!
Mingjia, who was with Mingyu, muttered to himself. Then, his mind flashed, his body trembled, and he stared at the Yellow Dragon and the others in disbelief. Now that Sid had brought this up again, he gradually remembered what had happened back then.
Those twenty-odd people who had been defeated by him and brought to the Dark Moon Tribe by his son were actually the Yellow Dragon, Bog, and the others!
Then he also understood why Sid had been suppressing the Dark Moon Tribe for these two thousand years.
So it was all because of his son!
“Who is Mingyu?” Archieber asked calmly.
Instantly, many who knew Mingyu from the Dark Moon Tribe turned to look at him. Mingyu had no choice but to step forward bravely.
“Are you Mingyu?” Archibald looked at Mingyu.
“Yes, Lord Archibald,” Mingyu replied respectfully.
“Sidde said it was you who led Huanglong to the Purple Moon Mountains. Is that true?” Archibald asked.
Mingyu opened his mouth but could only say in a low, helpless voice, “It was I who led Lord Huanglong to the Purple Moon Mountains.” It was indeed true; even if he tried to lie, it would be useless, as Archibald could easily verify it. Many people in the Dark Moon Tribe already knew about it when he brought Huanglong back, including his father.
Everyone present had complex expressions after hearing this.
Two thousand years ago, Mingyu had led Huanglong to the Purple Moon Mountains?!
“Then, who is Moira?” Archibald asked after confirming that it was Mingyu who had led Huanglong there.
Moira hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and bowing to Archibald.
“Just now, Sidde said that you and he searched for the Purple Spirit Ganoderma in the Poison Wind Valley, and later encountered Huanglong, who attacked them. When Huanglong was severely injured and fled, he left a message demanding that the Blues Tribe disappear from the Netherworld for ten thousand years. Is all of this true?!” Archibald raised his voice, staring at Moira.
For a moment, the entire scene fell silent.
Nervous and uneasy, Moira raised her head, her gaze drifting between Huanglong and Sidde. She bit her red lips, hesitating.
“Moira, tell everyone what really happened. Is it true?!” Sidde interjected, “reminding” her.
“It’s… all true!” After a while, the hesitant Moira suddenly became resolute and admitted that everything Sidde said was true!
In the end, she chose to side with Sidde!
Because Sidde had the Terrence Family behind him!
The Terrence Family was one of the six major families in the Netherworld. Even though Huanglong was now extremely powerful, how could he compare to such a powerful family that had existed for countless eras?!
Logic told her that the best choice was to side with the Blues Tribe and the Terrence Family.
Finally, Moira gave her answer. Sidde beamed with joy, while looking at Huanglong with a cold smirk.
The nearly hundred million god-tier warriors in the surrounding Purple Moon Mountains were shocked.
Was all of this really true?!
Originally, most people didn’t believe it, but now they began to doubt their original opinions.
“You fucking lie! You bitch! You’re lying!” Ork Nat shouted at Moira.
Moira seemed frightened and retreated to the Sam Tribe.
Of course, no one around her believed Ork Nat’s words.
In their eyes, it was natural to think that the orc Natt hated Moira for exposing the “shameful incident” committed by the Yellow Dragon in the past. After a while, Archibald turned to look at the Yellow Dragon and said, “Yellow Dragon, Sidde severely hurt you back then. It was Sidde’s fault. Sidde, come and apologize to the Yellow Dragon. Yellow Dragon, out of respect for me, let’s just let this matter go.” Archibald believed this was the best outcome. Sidde didn’t expect Archibald to demand that he apologize to the Yellow Dragon instead. However, he dared not disobey Archibald’s orders and stepped forward to apologize, saying, “Lord Yellow Dragon, it was Sidde’s fault back then. Please don’t take it to heart.” Sidde’s expression was sincere, and he even addressed the Yellow Dragon as “Lord Yellow Dragon.” But to everyone’s surprise, the Yellow Dragon ignored Archibald and the others, continuing to stare at Sidde coldly and saying, “I’ll say it again—where are my father and the others?” Archibald frowned. The crowd around was in shock, and one of the eighth-levelNether king warriors from the Terrence family could no longer hold back. “Yellow Dragon, don’t be ungrateful! Elder Archibald himself stepped in to reconcile and decided not to pursue this any further. Yet you still dare to push further. Do you really think the Terrence family won’t dare do anything to you?!” Not only did this eighth-levelNether king warrior of the Terrence family believe the Yellow Dragon was lying but also wanted to use his family as an excuse to target the Blues Tribe. Even some other god-level warriors from the Dark Moon Mountains shared this view, thinking the Yellow Dragon was going too far. Since Elder Archibald of the Terrence family was already so “generous,” even the Yellow Dragon, despite his special status, should step back. “Ungrateful?!” The words of that eighth-levelNether king warrior echoed throughout the Dark Moon Mountains. But as soon as he finished speaking, a loud crash sounded, and he let out a scream before flying backward and crashing onto a mountain peak below, remaining motionless for a while. The Yellow Dragon’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. The distance was too close, and the Yellow Dragon moved too fast—so suddenly that Archibald couldn’t stop him in time. Watching his family’s eighth-levelNether king warrior crash downward, Archibald was shocked by the Yellow Dragon’s strength and filled with anger. His face darkened as he said, “Yellow Dragon, you’ve hurt a member of my Terrence family!” Yet the Yellow Dragon still ignored him, his eyes still filled with murderous intent as he stared at Sidde. Suddenly, he opened his right hand, thunder rang out, and he struck at Sidde. Seeing this, Archibald shouted angrily and dashed forward to attack the Yellow Dragon. At that moment, Bradd also took to the air one after another.
