Chapter 2783
Donoghue’s eyes flickered and he slowly said, "Since you’re an envoy in the underworld, you must have privileges, right?"
Chester scowled and looked at Donoghue, "why do you ask?"
Donoghue took a deep breath. "I’ll tell you a secret if you let me out."
‘What?’ Chester was surprised by the request. Then, he shook his head and smiled.
"Donoghue, have you gone crazy from being locked up? Do you think it’s even possible for you to get out?"
Chester looked determined when he replied in a sulky manner.
Donoghue was a villain and he had long-standing enmity with Chester and his brothers. How could Chester possibly let him go?
Donoghue laughed and ridiculed Chester when he was adamant about his decision. "Chester, you claim to be an upright gentleman, but nowyou’ve become a traitor to The Nine Continents by being the envoy to the King of the Dead. I wonder how the people in The Nine Continents would feel when they find out.”
The accusation suddenly angered Chester. "What do you mean?"
Donoghue took a deep breath and said slowly, "The King of the Dead is ambitious and wants to control The Nine Continents. He desperately needs some of The Nine Continent's powerful cultivators to be his minions. When I first entered the Ghost World, the King of the Dead gave me an offer, but I refused."
Then, Donoghue glanced at Chester with mixed emotions. "I didn't expect that the righteous Sect Master Chester would take refuge in King of the Dead. Hahaha!”
Donoghue appeared conceited when he commented about Chester.
Three years ago, Donoghue entered the Ghost World after being attacked and killed by a giant python in the Valley of Death in the Wild Deserted Secret
Region. At that time, the King of the Dead threw Donoghue into purgatory for his evil deeds.
However, the King of the Dead soon summoned Donoghue and asked him if he would be his minion. Donoghue was a rare cultivator in The Nine Continents, after all, even though he had done many evil deeds.
Although he was evil, he was extremely conceited. He never wanted to submit himself to the leadership of the King of the Dead.
"I..." Chester gaped while facing Donoghue's mockery, but he was speechless.
Chester had taken refuge in the King of the Dead as he had no other choice. If it were not for Darryl and Dax, as well as his revenge against zhang Jue, Chester would have been reincarnated a long time ago.
Then again, how could he simply admit the fact to Donoghue?
At the same time, Chester was also startled. It turned out that the King of the Dead really intended to rule over The Nine Continents.
Chester realized that something was wrong when the King of the Dead made Jed and the others separate from the Raksasa Tribe. After confirming the fact with Donoghue, Chester became flustered.
‘If this is the case, can I continue to work for King of the Dead?’ he thought.
Donoghue's eyes flickered when Chester remained silent.
"Although I’ve been locked up here for three years, I know a great deal about the King of the Dead' s secrets. If you let me go, I’ll tell you everything. Haven’t you always seen it as your duty to contribute to the betterment of The Nine Continents?"
