C953 Fortune Formation
"Inform Suxin to act!" The black-robed man said coldly, "I want to see if this Lee Hao has the ability to escape the Soul-absorbing Fragrance that our Hidden Kill Alliance uses to deal with cultivators."
"Soul-absorbing Fragrance?"
The Foundation Establishment man looked at Mountain Lord in shock. He understood in his heart that this time, Mountain Lord was really angry.
The Soul-absorbing Fragrance was the most precious treasure of the Hidden Kill Alliance's Heavenly South Hall. It was bestowed by the headquarters and only one portion was kept for a thousand years. It had never been used before. He never thought that the black-robed man would be willing to use it this time.
In the Cultivation Realm, there were very few treasures that could be used to deal with divine souls. Each of them could be said to be priceless. The Soul-absorbing Fragrance was one of them. The black-robed man took out the incense. Clearly, it was aimed at Lee Hao's actions just now.
If Lee Hao could extract the soul and refine the soul, he would be able to absorb Lee Hao's divine soul, making him unable to reincarnate for the rest of his life.
He lit the incense stick and focused his mind. This was the habit of many cultivators. It was a good method to aid their cultivation. The Soul-absorbing Fragrance had the same appearance and smell as the ordinary Concentrating Incense. It was very difficult for cultivators to discover it. By the time they discovered it, it was already too late. Their souls had been affected by the Soul-absorbing Fragrance. Their minds were blurry, and they could only wait for death with their hands clasped behind their backs.
The Hidden Kill Alliance began to carry out a new assassination plan. They had to kill Lee Hao and complete the bounty mission this time.
...
...
In the main hall of City Lord Mansion, Lee Hao was listening attentively to Zhen Xing's report.
"City Lord, the assassins of Hidden Kill Alliance have been dealt with according to your request, but we didn't find anyone suspicious."
Lee Hao had tortured the assassins of Hidden Kill Alliance with a great fanfare. Apart from deterring the Hidden Kill Alliance, he had also tortured them. There was another reason why ___ had tortured the assassins of the Hidden Kill Alliance. He wanted to see if he could find the spies of the Hidden Kill Alliance in the Fallen Immortal City. Unfortunately, the Hidden Kill Alliance wasn't a pushover. They had existed for tens of thousands of years. Zhen Xing's means were quite clever, so he didn't notice anything unusual.
"Is there any news about the headquarters of the Hidden Kill Alliance?"
It was impolite to not reciprocate a favor. It wasn't Lee Hao's style to wait for others to come and assassinate him. He wanted to take the initiative to attack and remove the branch of the Hidden Kill Alliance from the Tiannan County.
"No!" Zhen Xing smiled bitterly and said, "The headquarters of the Hidden Kill Alliance in the Tiannan County. This is the core secret of the Hidden Kill Alliance's Heavenly South Branch. Very few people know about it. Furthermore, these people all have a forbidden technique in their minds. Even if they managed to capture it, it would still be a waste. And we can't get the information we want."
The Cultivation Realm had done a good job in keeping the secret, especially when it came to the inheritance. It was virtually impossible to obtain the inheritance through soul searching.
This was understandable.
The ancestors had put in a lot of effort to create each cultivation technique. Some of them had even gathered the strength of a sect. If the technique was stolen just like that, who would be willing to spend so much effort to research a new cultivation technique?
"Got it!" Lee Hao did not feel disheartened. He had already expected this result. He just wanted to give it a try and ask Zhen Xing to find out more about it.
"City Lord, then this subordinate will take his leave?"
"En, you can leave now!"
After Zhen Xing left, Lee Hao began to ponder. The Hidden Kill Alliance was facing a serious problem, but it was a pity that they were hiding their true intentions. It would be difficult for them to seek revenge, so they could only target the person behind the scenes for now.
Who was the person behind the scenes? It was easy to guess. After all, Lee Hao only had a few enemies in Spirit Realm, and there were even fewer who had the ability to do such a thing.
Hiring assassins, this kind of thing, needless to say, must have been done by Pingwu King or South-suppressing King, or perhaps it had been done by them.
South-suppressing King was someone Lee Hao had to kill. Now that Lee Hao had advanced to the Nascent Soul realm, his combat strength far exceeded that of an early Soul Formation cultivator, killing South-suppressing King was as easy as flipping his hand.
Unfortunately, this wasn't the case. Lee Hao really didn't have the chance to kill South-suppressing King.
Ever since South-suppressing King and Pingwu King lost the battle, they had been hiding in the Imperial City. Lee Hao couldn't possibly go to the opposite Imperial City to kill them, could he?
Imperial City wasn't an ordinary city. It was a place that was extremely dangerous. If one rashly entered, one would only die.
This was not an alarmist, but a fact.
The formation of Imperial City was a formation bestowed by the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was the core of the Great Zhou Dynasty's rule. How could it be an easy task?2
Lee Hao had never been to Imperial City, but he knew the scariness of the formation in Imperial City.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was a dynasty of fortune. They cultivated luck, gathering power to obtain luck. This was the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
How could they gather power? They had to rely on one thing, the Fate Array.
If the Fate Array is here, this place will belong to you. If it isn't here, then I'm sorry. Even if you rule this place, it won't belong to you.
The Fate Array of South-suppressing King and the other useless princes were like a star, guarding the mother planet of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If something were to happen here, the Great Zhou Dynasty would immediately know what was going on here.
The Heavenly Province where the Great Zhou Dynasty was located was too far away from the Tiannan County. Lee Hao wasn't very worried, but it wasn't easy to break the Fate Array.
The Qi Gong formation was different from other formations. It didn't mean that the Qi would be used up to break the formation. It relied not on Qi, but on luck.
Let's put it this way! Currently, there were close to a thousand cities in Tiannan County. As long as one city belonged to South-suppressing King, the Fate Array in Imperial City would not break.
Similarly, as long as there was still a county in Great Zhou Dynasty that had not fallen, then the Fate Array of Great Zhou Dynasty would not be broken.
This was the Fate Array.
The stronger the force, the stronger the Fate Array would be, and the weaker it would be. The weaker the Fate Array was. Currently, South-suppressing King had only lost a few hundred warships, and his foundation was still intact. At this moment, the Fate Array was at its strongest. If Lee Hao went over now, wouldn't he only end up dead?
Not to mention hiding himself, it was absolutely impossible.
The Fate Array was a formation of the Great Dao that recognized people. No matter how hard you tried to hide it, as long as you were an enemy, you would be discovered immediately after entering the formation. This was the terrifying part of the Fate Array.
Lee Hao's Eye of Delusion could find any weak point of any formation or restriction in the world, but there was nothing he could do about the Fate Array.
To use force to suppress others, unless one used force to break the formation, the Fate Array was an existence that could not be solved.
Breaking force was very simple. Gathering force to form force, then snatch the territory from the other party, and then snatch the force from the other party. The Fate Array would break without attack.
Gathering force was easy to say, but when doing it, one had to be extremely careful.
Xianlin Mountain was not under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because there was no city of the Great Zhou Dynasty here. However, this place was located in the crevice between the two counties of Great Zhou. If they were to gather forces... There was only one way to develop this place, and that was to annex the territory of Great Zhou Dynasty.
Needless to say, the result was that they were absorbing nutrients from the Great Zhou Dynasty. There was only one outcome, and that was to fight to the death.
This was the reason why there were so many sects and organizations in Great Zhou, but no one dared to gather power.
The current Fallen Immortal City was the same as those sects and organizations. Without gathering power, one could only be regarded as a bandit who had occupied a mountain and become the king. Only after Lee Hao announced the news to the world would one have the right to gather power.
There was no turning back when the arrow was drawn. Once it was announced to the heavens and earth, there was only one way, and that was to continue on. If one failed, the path of life and death would disappear.
The struggle for power was the cruelest way of cultivation. Although Lee Hao had such thoughts in his heart, he still had some hesitation when he really wanted to do it.
His future was unknown. Even though Lee Hao had seen many things and had the inheritance of an immortal, he still didn't have the confidence to do so.
