C1002 Reaction from All Sides
Lee Hao was still alive. This news not only stunned Mountain Lord of Hidden Kill Alliance, it also stunned Pingwu King.
Ever since he killed South-suppressing King and burned down the Hidden Killing Fortress, Pingwu King had been planning how to get his hands on the high-grade Spirit Vein.
In the end, he couldn't say anything. He could only send Chang Huan to Fallen Immortal City once again.
Chang Huan went to Fallen Immortal City and easily saw Zhen Xing. Unfortunately, Zhen Xing was different from his usual self. He told Chang Huan that there was no way he could get the upper grade Spirit Vein.
Chang Huan was dumbfounded.
Last time, Zhen Xing had promised that he would bring a letter to Pingwu King. As long as Pingwu King killed South-suppressing King, he would give the high-grade Spirit Vein to Pingwu King with both hands.
But now?
Chang Huan cried out involuntarily, "Brother Zhen, aren't you afraid that the Heart Devil Oath will backfire on you, and you won't be able to reach the Deification Period for the rest of your life?"
"Heart Devil Oath's backlash?" Zhen Xing let out a cold snort and said, "I, Zhen, was lucky enough to escape this calamity. I have been struggling with my last breath until now, and I only want to avenge my family. Now that I have taken revenge for my family, even if I die now, I have no regrets. I don't care about a mere Heart Devil Oath. "
"Why?" Chang Huan said in disbelief, "Brother Zhen, why are you doing this? As a cultivator, the Great Dao is number one. How can you turn your priorities upside down and abandon the Great Dao?"
"Hahaha!!" Zhen Xing laughed happily and said disdainfully, "Who told you that I abandoned the Great Dao and ignored it? It's not like there's no way to remove the Heart Devil Oath in this world, so how could this Zhen sit and wait for death?"
"Ah..." Chang Huan was dumbfounded. He had never thought that things would turn out like this. This was simply a joke.
"Brother Zhen, why do you have to do this? Treasures that can remove the Heart Devil Oath are all precious treasures. They are even more precious than high-grade Spirit Vein. Why don't you just hand over the high-grade Spirit Vein? This will save you some precious time."
Heart Devil Oath, this was an oath of the Great Dao, how could it be removed by any ordinary thing? In Chang Huan's understanding, the treasures that could remove the Heart Devil Oath were much more valuable than the high-grade Spirit Vein.
The fact was that the Spirit Realm had the most uses for removing the Heart Devil Oath. There was only one method that was widely circulated in the Spirit Realm, and that was to find the wondrous rock of heaven and earth in exchange for the Life Stone.
Only by finding this stone could a cultivator remove the Heart Devil Oath.
This was a treasure that could be used by all cultivation realms. It could be used from the Great Multiplication Stage to the Qi Condensation Stage.
It was precisely because of this that the Life Changing Stone was priceless.
It had been mentioned before that the mainstream method of controlling cultivators in Spirit Realm was the Heart Devil Oath, but how could cultivators be willing to give up their lives in the hands of others?
This was a contradictory existence.
In order to obtain better resources and gain trust, one had to make a promise to the Heart Devil Oath. However, in another aspect, one had to break away from this control.
At this time, they would think of the Life Changing Stone.
Many big shots had the Life Changing Stone in their hands. Normally, they would not use it. They would only use it when it was a critical moment, or when they were planning to betray a certain organization.
All of these proved that the Life Changing Stone was precious. It was even more precious than a high-grade Spirit Vein. It was not a lie.
Unfortunately, the Heart Devil Oath met Lee Hao.
The immortals of the Immortal World were incomparable to the cultivators of the Spirit Realm. The Heart Devil Oath had been ruined by them, and they had come up with many ways to crack it.
Lee Hao had inherited the means of the immortals.
Of course, such a thing would never be publicized. As a matter of fact, the lackeys that Lee Hao had recruited in the past had never shown themselves in the Spirit Realm. All of them were hiding in the City Lord Mansion.
If the cultivators of the Spirit Realm found out that someone could remove the Heart Devil Oath at a very low price, it would certainly cause a huge commotion and cause panic among those major powers. It would bring unimaginable trouble to the Fallen Immortal City.
Therefore, they could not say it!
Zhen Xing replied, "You don't have to worry about my matter. The City Lord has already promised to find the Life Changing Stone for me. I believe the City Lord won't lie to me."
"City Lord?" Chang Huan was stunned for a moment. "Which City Lord?"
"Of course it's Lee Hao, Mayor Lee!"
"What? Lee... Lee Hao? He... he's dead, isn't he? " This time, Chang Huan panicked. This was because the news came too suddenly.
" The City Lord has great abilities. What can a small fry from the Hidden Kill Alliance do to him? " Zhen Xing said disdainfully.
Chang Huan had no intention of asking for the high-grade Spirit Vein anymore. He knew that Lee Hao wasn't dead yet. There was a huge conspiracy behind this. Perhaps all of this was planned by Lee Hao. He had to return immediately and report the news to Pingwu King.
Zhen Xing allowed Chang Huan to leave. Now wasn't the time to kill him.
Just like that, the news of Lee Hao's death reached Pingwu King's ears. It should be said that Pingwu King had found out about Lee Hao's death a little earlier than Mountain Lord from the Hidden Mountain Alliance.
"How is this possible?"
Pingwu King staggered and fell onto his chair. This news was more impactful than Gold King not sending out his troops.
"Chang Huan, is what you said true?" Pingwu King still found it hard to accept.
"I am telling the truth. Looking at Zhen Xing's reaction at that time, Lee Hao did not die. It should be true."
"This..."
Pingwu King really didn't know what else he could say. He sat dejectedly on the chair. Lee Hao wasn't dead. It was even harder for him to obtain a high-grade Spirit Vein than ascending the heavens.
He had spent a lot of effort to obtain a high-grade Spirit Vein from Zhen Xing, and he had even killed South-suppressing King with his own hands just to save his own life. But in the end...
Only now did he realize that it was all in vain.
Pingwu King wasn't an idiot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed South-suppressing King. At this moment, Pingwu King understood that he had fallen into a trap that someone had set for him.
But, so what if he knew? Strength was the right to speak. Without strength, one could only be slaughtered.
At this moment, the high and mighty Pingwu King once again experienced the sorrow of being unable to control his own life and death.
Pingwu King was also a human, and he cultivated step by step. Unfortunately, after reaching the Soul Formation stage, he had forgotten the sorrow of being a low level cultivator.
It had been too long. Pingwu King had already reached the Soul Formation realm for thousands of years, and he had also been a duke for thousands of years. He had truly forgotten about it.
Now, after experiencing it once more, Pingwu King found it hard to accept.
No, he could not figure it out. Pingwu King spat out a mouthful of old blood and said sorrowfully, "Even if the heavens want me dead!"
Upon seeing this scene, Chang Huan felt delighted in his heart. He was experiencing this kind of feeling every day.
The things in the world were so strange. Those who begged for life couldn't live. Those who thought they were going to die just couldn't die.
Pingwu King didn't expect that there would be someone who would help him overcome this crisis in secret.
In Jin State, when Huo Fenghuang found Shen Lang again, Shen Lang was very surprised.
"Miss Huo, what brings you here this time?"
"Butler Shen, I left in a hurry last time. After I went back, I remembered that there were some things that I had yet to explain clearly. This time, I came again to prevent any misunderstanding from arising."
"Miss Huo is talking about allies?" Shen Lang smiled and said, "Miss Huo, don't worry. I am not an ignorant person. I have already understood Miss Huo's meaning."
After Huo Fenghuang mentioned that Jin State wanted to attract strong reinforcements, Shen Lang thought of Fallen Immortal City and hurriedly sent people to investigate Fallen Immortal City.0
He would not know if he did not look at it. He was shocked when he saw it. When the news came back, Shen Lang found out that so many things had happened in Tiannan County and Pingwu County during this period of time.
