"Kill him." Wen Ping showed a trace of annoyance and directly ordered the Evil Spirit Knight.
Heh—
The Evil Spirit Knight let out a chilling laugh, just about to devour Han Zhiyu’s soul, when Li He spoke up, "Spare my second uncle, I can tell you more things, anything you want to know."
Ah~
A scream resounded.
Li He’s words ca too late. After a scream, Han Zhiyu’s eyes turned charcoal black.
The Evil Spirit Knight let go, and the person moved no more.
Seeing this, Li He jumped up in rage, but was kicked away by the Evil Spirit Knight.
After listening to Li He finish his story, Wen Ping stood up, not even sparing a look at Li He, who had been sentenced to death, and turned to walk toward the top of Yunlan Mountain. Now, he finally understood why the people from Extre Realm Mountain sent a Profound Realm cultivator to their doorstep.
It turned out that the Wooden Flowing Sand he took that day was actually ant for making the Vortex Map.
If that’s true, then this matter will surely be without an end.
As for the Vortex Map, his father had once ntioned it to him; it was a slab-like object with brightly colored vortices on both the front and back. It was only as big as a palm, but it was extrely valuable.
At the sa ti, it was sothing even the Profound Realm couldn’t obtain—at least not the Lower Profound Realm.
If one day the Hundred Sects Alliance suddenly auctioned a Vortex Map, and you had only 100,000 Gold Coins, you wouldn’t even qualify to bid.
500,000 gold was just its starting price!
The final成交 price would definitely exceed a million Gold Coins. If a million gold doesn’t seem intuitive enough, to shock you, selling a Two-star Influence would value around a million gold.
That was his father’s words, also a standard version circulated by those who knew about it.
However, what he heard from his mother was entirely different because she had personally witnessed a Vortex Map auction—right at East Lake!
According to his mother’s recollection, a total of 12 Two-star Influences participated in that auction, along with 3 Three-star Influences. At that ti, Immortal Sect was already a 2-star Sect but didn’t even qualify for an invitation.
At that auction, there were as many as a hundred Profound Realm cultivators, and even an Upper Profound Realm powerhouse appeared!
An Upper Profound Realm character could shake East Lake with just a stomp.
But ultimately, the Vortex Map was not taken by him. All the forces present did not care about the Upper Profound Realm’s revenge. In other words, the temptation of the Vortex Map outweighed the fear of the Upper Profound Realm.
And the currency used in that auction was not gold coins, but White Crystals—which circulate above the Profound Realm—a thumb-sized milky white crystal stone worth ten thousand gold coins each.
In the end, its成交 price was three hundred White Crystals, which is three million gold coins, far exceeding the total value of a Two-star Influence.
As for which force bought the Vortex Map, few knew, but the only known fact was that a mutated ridian Gate Profound Realm appeared in East Lake from that day on! With the strength of the Middle Profound Realm, it overpowered most of East Lake’s forces and could even contend with a Two-star Influence’s Upper Profound Realm ancestor.
Recollecting his thoughts, Wen Ping smiled, "The Young Master of Extre Realm Mountain harbored great ambitions, wanting to create a Vortex Map himself. If he succeeded, East Lake would have one more invincible powerhouse in the future. Unfortunately, the Wooden Flowing Sand had already been consud by ."
Thinking of this and the Vortex Map again, Wen Ping felt the urge to climb the stairs—his own Thousand Layers could grant him an Anomalous Vein.
...
At the foot of the mountain, Leng Bai’s face imdiately froze as he watched the ridian Qi light stream disappear from the mountain’s peak, as if a great enemy was approaching, hurriedly rushing out of the house—could he have misread it?
The ridian Qi has erged!
Subsequently, Leng Bai hastened towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Bam!
The gate of the City Lord’s Mansion was pushed open by Leng Bai.
Leng Bai continued to push aside the guards surrounding the City Lord’s Mansion, striding towards the still-lit study.
Bam!
Another forceful door push.
Ignoring Huan Cheng’s glaring eyes, Leng Bai knelt on one knee, "My lord, a Profound Battle has erupted on Yunlan Mountain!"
Slap!
The book in Huan Cheng’s hand fell onto the desk as he stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with horror.
A Profound Battle, this was no trivial matter.
Could it be that the Hundred Sects Alliance’s Mo Yue had attacked the Immortal Sect?
Huan Cheng imdiately donned the armor on the wooden rack beside him and took the long knife from the blade rack, saying, "Assemble the Divine Strategy Camp!"
"Yes!"
Leng Bai exited imdiately, heading straight to the Divine Strategy Camp’s camp outside the city.
The people of Divine Strategy Camp had just returned, planning to take a bath and sleep, when they heard the assembly drum sound. They quickly ran out of the bath, put on their armor again, mounted their warhorses, and assembled below the city wall.
Thirty Divine Strategy Camp warriors, following the pace of Huan Cheng’s Half-Faced Golden Armor, charged straight towards Yunlan Mountain.
Mighty and grand, like waves crashing against the shore!
Wherever the sound of hooves passed, every house was re-illuminated!
Upon reaching the foot of Yunlan Mountain, Huan Cheng’s gaze fell on the three corpses at the mountain’s base.
His expression changed imdiately, and he dismounted quickly.
The torch instantly lit up the foot of Yunlan Mountain, also illuminating the corpses of Han Zhiyu and the other two.
Huan Cheng approached, but before he could distinctly see the faces of the three, Leng Bai exclaid, "My lord, it’s the three from Extre Realm Mountain we encountered on the stone steps earlier, hadn’t they left?"
Huan Cheng crouched slowly, pausing before Han Zhiyu’s corpse for a mont, "They probably never left. The battle that happened just now on Yunlan Mountain likely involved those three."
"My lord, let’s go up the mountain."
"Hmm." Huan Cheng nodded.
However, at this mont, a middle-aged man in golden armor from the Divine Strategy Camp crouched in front of Han Zhiyu, his gaze fixed on Han Zhiyu, and uttered a startling remark, "City Lord, this is a Profound Realm from Extre Realm Mountain!"
Profound Realm?
This statent left everyone in disbelief and suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Leng Bai imdiately retreated and also knelt in front of Han Zhiyu’s corpse.
"My lord, does this an that this person is a Profound Realm?" Leng Bai looked surprised, staring blankly at the leader of the Divine Strategy Camp—Murong Xi, who was at the Body Refining Thirteenth Layer—sowhat disbelieving this fact.
Not just him, even Huan Cheng behind him found it hard to believe.
Murong Xi continued to explain, "Recently, I saw him together with the Sect Leader of Kao Shan Sect, and the Sect Leader always addressed him as senior. For a Body Refining Thirteenth Layer invincible cultivator to call soone senior, it could only be a Profound Realm."
"This..."
Huan Cheng was montarily speechless.
The original plan to ascend the mountain was imdiately abandoned, turning back and taking a closer look at Han Zhiyu.
Since Murong Xi said this, it must be true.
However, what baffled him was how the Immortal Sect could have the实力 to kill a Profound Realm expert. Could it be that the things left by his brother had reached the level of killing a Profound Realm?
But his brother himself was only at the Lower Profound Realm.
