My beautiful CEO wife

Chapter 1799: Reviving the Ancestor

Wind at the back of the head, surely something strange!

Xiao Zheng reacted almost instinctively, picking up Catherine’s body and rolling on the spot. He then saw countless vampire bats sweeping past where he had just been, shooting out of the small window on the wall.

"As expected of the Evil God, you figured it out so quickly."

In the darkness, a tall figure slowly stepped forward.

Holding Catherine, Xiao Zheng slowly stood up, his gaze intriguingly resting on this person, then he spoke, "I remember your voice, you’re the one who called me earlier, right?"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious man took a step forward, first performing a standard aristocratic gesture, then said, "Yes, esteemed Evil God, we finally meet. Let me introduce myself first, I am Legus, from the esteemed Mode family."

"Sorry, never heard of it," Xiao Zheng replied bluntly.

"It’s normal you haven’t heard of us; our Mode family has a legacy spanning nearly two millennia, but we’ve always been discreet," Legus smiled and said, "As per our family mantra, we are always humble and courteous people."

"Humble and courteous? Spare me the laugh." Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle, "Honestly, I’ve always despised you Blood Clan. They often hold themselves as nobles but engage only in despicable and lowly acts."

"In my eyes, you’re worse than those begging on the streets."

Despite Xiao Zheng’s words, Legus remained unperturbed and smiled, "Has the Evil God never heard the saying, ’The victor reigns’? Only the victorious are privileged to write history."

"So long as it succeeds, no matter how despicable the methods, it’s nothing."

"Your shamelessness moves me." Xiao Zheng gave him a thumbs up and then asked, "Just tell me, what’s your purpose in bringing me here? I’m pressed for time, worth millions every minute, so I can’t afford to idle with you here."

As the two met in the dungeon, other Blood Clan experts appeared behind Legus.

But Xiao Zheng showed little interest in these people, not even glancing at them.

Yet, in the eyes of these Blood Clan experts, their focus was entirely on Xiao Zheng. Although they’ve seen Xiao Zheng’s photos before, facing him in person filled their hearts with a touch of fear.

There’s no helping it.

As the saying goes, a person’s name like a shadow of a tree.

Xiao Zheng caused such a stir in Europe earlier, even Rob III perished at his hands, making these Blood Clan experts wary of his formidable strength.

"Didn’t expect Evil God’s aura would be so overwhelming."

"Fortunately, we have the Ancestor Statue; otherwise, we’d all likely die here today..."

In the Blood Clan experts’ minds, various thoughts arose.

Legus appeared much calmer, speaking unhurriedly, "We went through great efforts to invite the Evil God here, not merely as a guest. Our Mode family seeks to borrow something from the Evil God."

"What do you want to borrow?" Xiao Zheng asked with interest.

Upon hearing this, Legus’s eyes instantly turned a bit fervent as he said, "What our Mode family wants to borrow from the Evil God is precisely your life! Only by sacrificing your life can we awaken the Ancestor Statue!"

"By then, I can glimpse the mysteries of the Supreme Realm and compete for the next Netherworld King position!"

A hint of realization flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

Only now did he comprehend the real reason behind Legus kidnapping Catherine and forcing him here. As he had initially suspected, Legus’s true goal was to deal with Hades.

However, the Ancestor Statue mentioned by Legus caught his interest.

Unable to resist, Xiao Zheng asked, "What exactly is the Ancestor Statue you’re talking about?"

"The Ancestor Statue embodies the soul of our Mode family’s ancestor, but unfortunately, it remains dormant. Only the blood of a supreme can awaken it," Legus did not intend to hide anything and straightforwardly explained the origin of the Ancestor Statue.

Then, he pulled a necklace from his collar.

At the lower end of the necklace hung a finger-width vampire statue.

Delicately crafted, it looked almost like a collectible figure.

Yet from this statue, Xiao Zheng could distinctly perceive an extremely evil aura. As Legus mentioned, this profoundly wicked aura was slumbering.

"Western aliens really differ greatly from our Huaxia Martial Artists."

"So many Supreme Realm powerhouses."

Xiao Zheng felt a bit helpless at the presence of this evil aura as he sensed a trace resembling Hades. It was an aura unique to the Supreme Realm, though this statue fell short when compared to Hades.

No matter how weak, it was still a statue exuding the aura of the Supreme Realm.

No wonder Legus dared to claim the intent of competing with Hades for the Netherworld King position; if he truly awakened this statue, he indeed could challenge Hades.

"I must admit, your Mode family has some skills indeed."

"If you were to hibernate for a few more decades or centuries, your plan might actually succeed. But unfortunately, your greatest mistake was targeting me."

"Thinking about using my life as a sacrifice, I’m afraid you don’t have the capability."

As Xiao Zheng finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight in a bizarre manner.

Before Legus and the others could react, Xiao Zheng was already standing before Legus. With Catherine still in his arms, he smiled at Legus.

Legus was shocked internally, instinctively trying to attack Xiao Zheng.

Unfortunately, he was too slow, and Xiao Zheng easily kicked him to the ground.

"Family Head!"

The remaining Blood Clan experts were shocked, their eyes filled with anger and fear as they looked at Xiao Zheng.

"Don’t worry; you’ll have your turn soon."

"Let me deal with him first, then I’ll come for you."

After speaking to these Blood Clan experts, Xiao Zheng lifted his foot and stepped directly toward Legus, who was kneeling in pain. This foot carried tremendous force; not just an early-stage Martial Saint like Legus would suffer, even a Peak of Martial Saint expert wouldn’t be able to withstand such force.

In panic, Legus tried to activate the Ancestor Statue.

Though unable to revive the soul inside, he could still steal a bit of its power.

Evil aura spread throughout the dungeon, and an invisible force instantly blocked Xiao Zheng’s footfall. There even seemed to be a tendency to repel Xiao Zheng’s foot, as if taunting him.

Xiao Zheng let out a cold hum, "A dead man for who knows how many years dares to mock me! Truly courting death!"

He then erupted suddenly, smashing the invisible force with a single stomp.

Then, his size 40 shoe descended, instantly crushing Legus’s head into a pulp!

The surroundings fell utterly silent!
