C1401 The News Was Accurate
"Where did you hear this from? How could the Old Master die? He's so powerful!"
"Who sent this news? Investigate! Hurry up and investigate!"
... ""
In just a few days, the entire Haori Realm had already spread this news that made people afraid.
After all, there were a thousand Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert warriors, and there were even a hundred Peak Heaven-sovereign Stage warriors among them. So many of them had gathered together, but they had all died. How could this be possible?
Of course, after the major powers received the news, they sent people to investigate the purpose of the news, and also to find out the truth of the matter.
Within the Haori Realm's Xiahou Family...
The Xiahou Family was a famous super family in Haori Realm. There were about seven or eight Peak Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert in the family, so they sent two Peak Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert into the Heaven Realm this time.
Of course, they didn't know where these Peak Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert was going. However, when they thought about how there were so many experts together, it was obviously impossible for anything to happen to them, so they didn't think too much about it.
"Quickly open it and take a look!"
When a middle-aged man saw a stone tablet being slowly taken out from the secret chamber, he hurriedly ordered.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, one of them hurriedly responded. He quickly pried open the stone tablet and revealed a milky white stone.
This was a Soul Stone with a human's soul attached to it. Once the soul disappeared, the Soul Stone would also shatter. Thus, after confirming whether the person was alive or dead, the Soul Stone was clear.
"Third Brother, Big Brother's Soul Stone didn't shatter." When everyone saw that the milky white stone was intact, everyone present secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Third Brother, I told you that the news was fake. There were so many Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert who went on a mission. How could something have happened to them? And all of them were killed. It was simply impossible." One of them said.
"En, it seems like I was overthinking it. Alright, seal up Big Brother's soul stone." The originally solemn looking middle-aged man said softly.
"Kacha!"
However, just as the man finished speaking, a crisp shattering sound rang in everyone's ears.
Immediately after, in front of everyone, the originally perfectly fine Soul Stone directly shattered into powder.
"What!?"
Upon seeing this scene, everyone's eyes nearly popped out. It shattered, the Soul Stone actually really shattered.
The shattering of the Soul Stone meant that the soul attached to Rocky had also disappeared. The disappearance of the soul meant that the owner of the Soul Stone had fallen.
"Big brother... Big brother is dead!"
Although the people present couldn't accept this reality, the soul stone wouldn't lie to them. Therefore, they were certain that the person was dead.
"Quick... Quickly take out Second Brother's Soul Stone, quick!" Because Big Brother was already dead, the people present could not wait to know Liu's situation.
"Yes!"
The man who took out the soul stone earlier hurriedly took out the stone tablet beside him.
"Liu is still alive!"
When they saw that the Soul Stone had not shattered, joy appeared on everyone's faces.
"Kacha!"
However, the joy didn't last more than three seconds. When a clear cracking sound rang out, the smiles on everyone's faces came to an abrupt stop.
"Second Brother!"
When they saw the originally fine Soul Petrification turn into powder, everyone present cried out in alarm.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Looking at the two piles of Rocky powder, a few Peak Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert's faces revealed anger.
Although their Xiahou Family had seven or eight Peak Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert, losing two Peak Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert would still affect their family's power greatly.
"Damn it, didn't they say that nothing would happen? Why are both of them gone?" The man called Mo angrily said.
At the same time, the other families also discovered that the Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert sent by their families had died.
In other words, the news that spread throughout the Haori Realm wasn't fake, but a true fact.
However, who was the one who spread the news? Who was the first one to discover this problem?
Regarding this point, every family and power started to investigate. Because if they found the source of the news, they might be able to find out the whole truth.
But unfortunately, no matter how many people investigated, they were almost at the source. At most, they found out which city the news started from. As for who exactly it was, no one knew.
That was why the whole thing became even more mysterious.
Although they didn't know who sent the news, these families that had lost their Heaven-sovereign Stage Expert were furious.
"Let's make a scene, let's make a scene, the bigger the better." After Lu Feng asked around, he nodded his head in satisfaction.
After saying that, Lu Feng started to drink. Although the taste of the wine in Haori Realm was different from the wine in the Heaven Realm, it was still very delicious.
"Jiang Han, you idiot. You can lose yourself to anyone. Are you trying to anger me to death?" Just as Lu Feng was enjoying the fine wine and delicacies, a voice suddenly came from the back of the restaurant.
"Young master, yes... I'm sorry, I... I've really looked for him, but I can't find him. I'm sorry, young master!" After being scolded, Jiang Han hurriedly apologized.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Lu Feng, who was drinking, raised his eyebrows slightly. Obviously, he heard two voices coming from behind.
"Buddy!"
At this moment, Lu Feng put down the wine glass in his hand and called out to the waiter.
"Customer, do you have any other instructions?" The waiter quickly ran over and asked.
"Please call your boss over. I have something to discuss with him." Lu Feng said.
"Boss?"
Hearing this, the waiter was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not understand what the other party meant.
"Don't worry. I know your boss. He's your boss's friend. I'm here to discuss some business matters." Lu Feng said in a low voice.
"Okay. I will go and invite him now." The waiter answered.
He naturally wouldn't dare to neglect the friend of the boss. Although he didn't know Lu Feng very well, he didn't dare to be careless.
Therefore, after bidding farewell to Lu Feng, the shop assistant quickly walked towards the room behind him.
"Bang! Bang!"
When the shop assistant arrived at the door, he gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Because he was angry, Zhu Huo naturally snapped angrily.
"Boss, someone is looking for you outside. He said he is your friend and wants to talk business with you." The waiter stood at the door and said.
"My friend?"
Zhu Huo frowned slightly. A friend who wanted to do business with him, he did not seem to have such a friend?
"Jiang Han, stay here. I will come back later to deal with you." Zhu Huo said to Jiang Han, then left the room.
"Where is the man who called himself my friend?" After walking out of the room, Zhu Huo asked the waiter.
"Boss, he's over there!" The waiter pointed at Lu Feng and said.
At this time, Lu Feng also heard the voice, so he raised his glass and turned his head to signal.
"It's you!"
When Zhu Huo saw Lu Feng, he was slightly surprised at first, then a smile appeared on his face.
"So it's you, little brother. I thought it was you. Why? Do you want to cooperate with me? " Zhu Huo sat beside Lu Feng and asked with a smile.
"En, I have thought it through. But I have a condition. That is, I don't want to sell my portion of the Spiritual Root. How about you sell your portion of the Spiritual Root as you wish?" Lu Feng said.
The effects of cultivating the Spiritual Root were excellent. Therefore, Lu Feng naturally wouldn't foolishly exchange them for useless ores. As for why they cooperated, this made sense to him.
First of all, Jiang Han had completed this mission very well, so Lu Feng didn't want him to be punished.
Secondly, Lu Feng wanted more Spiritual Root, but he didn't have any backing here. In fact, his own cultivation base was also limited. If he was noticed by others, then... It would be dangerous. There were quite a few of them. That was why they found a force with a strong background to work with. This was very important.
After combining these two points, Lu Feng naturally fixed his eyes on Zhu Huo.
"Still forty-six points?" Zhu Huo asked.
If Lu Feng could take the initiative to look for him, then perhaps there would be some changes in the division, so he had to ask clearly.
"Fifty percent. You have to contribute in capturing the Spiritual Root, so it's best to divide it equally. It's fair to everyone." Lu Feng explained.
"Alright, that's settled then."
When he heard that not only did the share not decrease, but it also increased by 10%, Zhu Huo naturally nodded his head repeatedly and agreed.
"Someone, go and bring me the best dishes in the restaurant. Little brother, let's have a good drink today and wish us a happy cooperation." Zhu Huo said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Regarding this, Lu Feng smiled and nodded. Since the cooperation had been agreed upon, then he could naturally drink this wine.
Just like that, after having a good drink, Zhu Huo even opened the best room in their restaurant for Lu Feng, so that he could have a good rest.
Regarding this, Lu Feng naturally wouldn't refuse because without him, Zhu Huo wouldn't be able to obtain a single Spiritual Root. Therefore, he naturally had no reason to reject this offer.
Of course, Lu Feng wasn't a fool. The reason why the other party had booked a room for him in his restaurant was to make it easier for him to monitor him and prevent him from suddenly escaping.1
But since Lu Feng was here, he definitely wouldn't leave so easily. As for what he would say in the future, he would say it at that time.
Just like that, because of Lu Feng's arrival, Jiang Han naturally wouldn't punish him. However, because of his mistakes, Zhu Huo naturally wouldn't allow him to continue following Lu Feng.
Of course, Jiang Han didn't feel disappointed because of this. Instead, he felt fortunate because he finally had the time to use the Spiritual Root to improve his cultivation.
In this world where the strong were respected, strength was everything. Without strength, one could only be manipulated and manipulated by others.
Therefore, not long after Jiang Han returned to his residence, he closed his door and started cultivating. With his cultivation, one Spiritual Root was enough to help him break through his current realm.
