Chapter 103 Exalted Overlord

After that strenuous battle with Gwen back then, Nightin had fainted them due to the internal injuries which his body had suffered during the battle.

Since then, three days had passed even though Gwen and even though Orochi had tried their utmost best to help Nightin recover, his injuries weren't as simple as they seem and they were left helpless against it.

His meridians were severely damaged and they were only able to mend and reconnect them back together after two days and nights of effort, his internal organs were all shifted out of position with serious damages to his spirit core. If they don't manage to salvage it soon, he might lose his current cultivation base and the potential to go any further.

*Orochi and the mysterious man*

"Exalted Overlord, I'm here today to request for your assistance in saving a youth, he has already been unconscious for a month even after Gwen and I tried our utmost best to help him recover, we suspect that there are more to this than what what we can identify." Orochi lowered his head as he cupped his fingers and said to the mysterious man clad in a red robe sitting opposite of him.

The facial features of that man weren't viewable even though the hood wasn't in the way, it was being blocked off by a mysterious form of energy which took on a chaotic shape.

"Oh, on what conditions should I even check on that youth you mentioned? If that's all you have to ask me of, I'm afraid that you have asked the wrong person, Evil Lord Orochi." The red robe man replied coldly as he got up from the red wooden chair and walked towards the exit, without his footsteps even slowing for the slightest bit.

"His willpower to challenge Gwen and force out her third Astral form was what resulted in this, from a seventeen year old youth who transcended from the lower realms." Orochi threw out the attractive part of the deal immediately as he stood up abruptly with his hand slammed on the table.

"Damn you, Evil Lord Orochi, you just had to force my hand." The red robed man said in the still cold voice, but slight killing intent was enveloped into his voice this time as he stopped his footsteps, his back still facing Orochi.

Others may not know that well, but him including the seven other Evil Overlords all knows that while his army may be one of the strongest across the universe, he is still on the search for someone to inherit his legacy.

The red robed man hesitated for a moment, but still added on "Lead the way, you better hope that it wouldn't be a waste of my time or you'll get it from me, even your father would choose to stay out of this matter."

Orochi walked ahead as he gestured with his hand "Follow me, the young fella I mentioned to you just now is currently resting in one of the top grade recovery rooms."

On the way there, they walked past many guards and servants who were fulfilling their daily duties, but most of them didn't even have the guts to even pay respect to Orochi when they saw the man who was wearing a red robe walking alongside him, the only person who has the qualifications to rebut the revered Evil Overlord.

This may not have applied to everyone, but a gaze from the red robed man sent everyone walking away whenever they tried to pay respects.

None of them know the true identity of the red robed man, but that doesn't matter for he had the qualifications to walk alongside Orochi, or even get the Evil Lord Orochi they respect to lead the way for him.

Orochi chuckled along the way as he asked helplessly "Exalted Overlord, my reputation in the Evil realm will be tarnished if you were to keep up with this actions of yours."

What replied him was the intense stare from two eyes, killing intent was infused into them as he felt a shudder go down his spine.

Along the way, absolute silence was what accompanied them on their journey as Orochi lead the way while crying to himself, why did he even invite such a character?

Orochi was under immense pressure every moment, who knows if the Exalted Overlord behind him might suddenly snap due to whatever reasons and attack him for no particular reason.

When they arrived at the high grade recovery room which Nightin was residing in currently, shock was the first reaction which took Gwen over by surprise as she transmitted her voice to Orochi, asking "Stupid snake, why did you even have to invite that demon of all people."

Orochi transmitted back as sweat dripped down his forehead, he could feel his robes sticking close to his skin, replying "He can hear us fool."

Gwen broke out in panic as she hurriedly explained while pouring a cup of tea "I'm sorry Exalted Overlord, that was not what I had meant to say. It was only a slip of the... Ahh!"

Gwen pulled her hand back while placing the teapot back onto the table, her hands were currently of a deep shade of red and anger was mixed in with agony on her face, healing herself with her Oceanic plane Astral, she asked "Just what the hell was in that teapot?"

What replied her was a cold hoarse voice "It's just the average tea mixed in with some fire elements of the sharp style, that should teach you to think before you speak next time."

Ahh! Gwen cursed Orochi deep down in her heart for a thousand times and the anger she accumulated would definitely become a trouble for Orochi to handle.

"Where is the young fella you mentioned?" The red robed man asked once again in irritation, he came here expecting to get the matter settled quickly, yet there was some stupid girl in his way.

"He's just up ahead, resting beyond the thin sheets of curtains." Orochi said softly as he pulled the curtains aside, only to see a youth with eyes void of any life.
