"Do you not understand yet?"
Lin Wai couldn't help but sigh.
"The moment you cursed the Lord, it ceased to be just your matter or just the Lord's matter."
Seeing the bewildered expressions of the three, he knew he was speaking to deaf ears.
"The dignity of the Master of Nether City in the Netherworld cannot be desecrated. Even if the Lord doesn't care about your actions, the Heavenly Venerables and Earth Immortals underneath will act in secret to maintain the stature of the Netherworld by eliminating you.
Otherwise, if word gets out that the entire Master of the Netherworld was cursed by you, and you walk away unscathed,
then everyone from the Nether City who encounters you would have to bow their heads.
How could those cultivator experts and geniuses, with pride as high as heaven, cope with this? It would be a severe blow to the dignity of the entire Nether City."
As he laid it out, the three finally grasped the seriousness of the situation. Their faces immediately changed.
