C997 In South Sky City
Indeed, high-grade Spirit Vein was precious, but the life of a Soul Formation cultivator was even more precious. If one wanted to cultivate to this stage, without opportunities, just relying on Spirit Stone was not enough.
The ten thousand years of bitter cultivation that had been going on for nearly ten thousand years had all disappeared in one go, making one want to pee.
Although South-suppressing King was still able to stand up, he had already reached the point where he was at the end of his rope.
Pingwu King did not hold back at all, and he did not have any defense at all. He could only rely on his body to withstand it.
The bodies of the Spirit Realm's cultivators were weak to begin with. The result could be imagined. Powerful magic power entered his body and severely injured his Elemental Spirit. Even if Pingwu King let him go now, he wouldn't have any hope left.
The injury of the Elemental Spirit wasn't that easy to heal. Even if he didn't die now, he wouldn't have any hope of healing it in the future. Just like Pang Shiyuan in the past, he would have to wait for the day of his death.
"Brother Zhu, don't blame me. Even if I don't kill you, Gold King won't let you go."
Pingwu King sighed and said, "Do you think I want to kill you? I don't want to. When Chang Huan brought back this information, I didn't take it seriously at all. But Gold King's letter forced me to do this. "
" Take a look at what Gold King wrote in the letter! "
Pingwu King threw Gold King's letter back to South-suppressing King.
"I see!" South-suppressing King was suddenly enlightened. Gold King asked Pingwu King to bring the high-grade Spirit Vein to Jin State.
This sentence became a warning to Pingwu King, forcing him to take some action.
"Are you so sure that Zhen Xing will give you the upper grade Spirit Vein?" South-suppressing King was somewhat unconvinced.
"I don't know!" Pingwu King shook his head and said, "But I know that this is the only path I can take."
Zhen Xing had asked Lee Hao the same question. Lee Hao had answered the same question to make Pingwu King have no choice. Reality proved that Lee Hao had done it. Pingwu King really had no choice. He could only follow the script that Lee Hao had designed for him.
"Brother Zhu, don't worry. You won't die in vain! In the future, I will destroy the Fallen Immortal City and avenge you. I will also flatten the Hidden Kill Alliance and help you vent your anger."
"With Brother Zhu's intelligence, you should know why I chose this place!"
"That's right. I'm going to report to the Son of Heaven that it was the Hidden Kill Alliance who assassinated Brother Zhu!"
"Assassinating a prefecture lord is a huge matter. Tian Zi would certainly be furious, not to mention the Hidden Kill Alliance in Tiannan County. The Hidden Kill Alliance of Great Zhou Dynasty is in the midst of revenge. So many assassins from the Hidden Kill Alliance are buried with Brother Zhu. Brother Zhu should be resting in peace now!"
It had been mentioned before that although Hidden Kill Alliance claimed that they could assassinate anyone, there were some key figures that couldn't be moved. Once they moved, something big would definitely happen.
As for the county lord, he was a person that the Hidden Kill Alliance Branch absolutely couldn't assassinate.
On the one hand, those who could become the prefecture lord were at least Deification Period, and it wasn't easy to assassinate them. On the other hand, the prefecture lord had a high position, and assassinating them would cause too much of an impact. A single negligence would cause a huge war between the two powers.
"Alright then! Take my head. I only hope that Brother Mei can fulfill your promise just now."
"Brother Zhu, have a good journey!"
After killing South-suppressing King, Pingwu King coldly looked at the cultivators in the Hidden Killing Fortress. None of them could escape.
Inside the Hidden Killing Fortress, Pingwu King started a massacre. He even set off a fire and destroyed all the evidence.
Outside the Hidden Killing Fortress, a black shadow secretly entered the void, and no one noticed it.
This person was not the assassin of the Invisibility Fortress, but Lee Hao.
After learning about Gold King's reply from Huo Fenghuang, Lee Hao knew in his heart that the overall situation had already been decided. It would depend on when Pingwu King would make his move.
Calculating the time, Lee Hao set off.
Huangsha City, this was Lee Hao's first stop, but he did not find any traces of the two princes.
At that time, Lee Hao was extremely depressed. He thought that the two of them had already started fighting, but the people below did not know.
But later on, he received news from Huo Fenghuang, and only then did Lee Hao know that the two princes had gone to Sihai Commerce Alliance to gather Spirit Stone.
What was the point of gathering Spirit Stone at this time? Needless to say, it was obviously handed over to Hidden Kill Alliance.
Therefore, Lee Hao had already waited outside the Hidden Killing Fortress for a few days, and finally waited for the day the two princes appeared.
Lee Hao didn't come here just to watch the show. His original intention was to stab him in the back. As long as Pingwu King didn't kill South-suppressing King, he would pretend to be a cultivator of the Hidden Kill Alliance and assassinate South-suppressing King.
However, the development of the story was beyond Lee Hao's expectation. Pingwu King was quick and efficient. He seized the perfect opportunity and severely injured South-suppressing King with a single palm strike.
This wasn't all. What was even more rare was that Pingwu King and Lee Hao had the same thought. They both wanted to frame the Hidden Kill Alliance. Furthermore, compared to Lee Hao targeting the Hidden Kill Alliance branch in Tiannan County, Pingwu King was even more thorough in his actions. He wanted to bring this matter to the Great Zhou's Son of Heaven.
First, he used the method of slaughtering the entire city to threaten the duke to hand over the two Qianyi Spirit Stones, and then he simply killed the duke without any hesitation. This matter was going to blow up.
Hidden Kill Alliance would definitely feel wronged, because they were just taking back what belonged to them.
The exciting matter was still at the end, the Hidden Kill Alliance had not completed the bounty mission at all...
Not completing the bounty mission, but extorting a huge amount of Spirit Stone from the employer, and even killing the employer, would have a big impact on the Hidden Kill Alliance's reputation? Did it cause a huge sensation in the Spirit Realm?
News spread in Spirit Realm was slow, but Lee Hao had a way to make this matter known to everyone.
...
...
South Sky City, Sihai Commerce Alliance Branch Hall. After Lee Hao left the Hidden Killing Fortress, he immediately rushed here and found Huo Fenghuang.
"Young Master Lee, what are you doing here?" When Huo Fenghuang saw Lee Hao, she was completely stunned.
A few days ago, the two of them met in Fallen Immortal City. They had already told her everything they needed to know. Why were they here again?
"About this, I still want to trouble Miss Huo with one more thing." Lee Hao felt a little awkward. He did not come to the temple for no reason. He came to find Huo Fenghuang to ask her to do something.
Huo Fenghuang was angry. She was the son of the heavens. What did Lee Hao think of her? Was she a servant who ran errands?
However, Lee Hao was after all a big client. Huo Fenghuang could only put away her pride as the son of the heavens and said angrily, "Tell me what it is. Perhaps I am in a good mood and can consider helping you."
"Then I will tell you. Cough! Cough!" Lee Hao cleared his throat and said, "Miss Huo, I want to trouble you to go to Jin State again and find a way to let Gold King temporarily spare Pingwu King's life."
"Why?" Huo Fenghuang was stunned and then said angrily, "Do you know what I said to let Gold King kill Pingwu King?"
Huo Fenghuang originally wanted to say how many lies she had said, but after thinking about it later, she realized that it was to discredit herself. She immediately changed her words and said, "I had to put in a lot of effort to make Gold King think that Pingwu King invited him this time to plot against him. Now, you want Gold King to let Pingwu King go. I can't do it. "
Huo Fenghuang was angry. If it wasn't for Gold King suspecting Pingwu King's intention, would he have given up on coming to Tiannan County? That was absolutely impossible.
In the past, Gold King had said that he wouldn't be able to take out a high-grade Spirit Vein to kill Pingwu King. Now, he had added another one to scheme against him. It could be said that Gold King now had the intention to kill Pingwu King. At this time, he wanted Huo Fenghuang to go over and advise Gold King not to kill Pingwu King. Wasn't this giving her a difficult problem?
