C146 (1/2)
Jin Ping City was the capital of the You Nan country. It was a city that was even larger than half of the Di Kingdom, and there were a lot of people inside. Thirty to forty million people was only the base number, so it was hard to imagine that there would be such a big city.
He was called Bi Huan, a general of the Immortal Realm. Because the Immortal Demon War was imminent, he temporarily took charge of the city, and there were many people here, waiting for the day when the war would break out. There were a lot of cultivators here, and some of them were here to recruit Immortal soldiers, while others were here to earn some Spiritual Pills and the like. This Jinhai City was an extremely important foothold for the Immortals before the war.
Because this was the capital, there were a few large cultivation families here. First, there were the Jin family in the south, the Yu family in the north, and the Shi family in the west. However, in the entire Eunuch South Country, these three families could only be considered middle-class because there was also the Lu family on top, which was one of the five big families in the cultivation world.
The five great clans of the cultivation world were located in Dian Xun, Zan, Dian Ming Yin, Da Wei Shentu and Shen Yu Lu. They were respectively located in Dian Xun, Zen, Da Ming, Da Wei and Shen Yu. I had never heard of these five countries before, but when I found out about their return, my heart skipped a beat.
Five days ago, the puppets had entered Jin Ping City to investigate this matter. Although the security of the city was extremely tight, the puppets were very smart and no one noticed anything amiss.
This puppet stayed in the restaurant every day and ordered a jug of wine, but it didn't move at all. It listened carefully to the conversations of the people around it, but today, it truly heard an extremely important piece of news.
There were a few people sitting against the wall of the restaurant. They ordered some food and wine while chatting. One of them was very thin, while the other was very fat. The last one had a darker complexion. However, he heard the skinny man say in a low voice, ”I heard that the cultivation world is starting to become chaotic.”
”Chaos? How could that be possible? Do you think that the seven great immortals are useless!? ”
The dark-faced man shook his head and sighed, ”The seven great Immortal Emperors are at odds with each other. It's not a secret. However, there's been some news recently that we don't know if it's true or not.”
Fatty asked doubtfully, ”What news?”
The thin man drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, leaned his head forward and said in a low voice, ”Do you know that the Three Great Deathlands?”
”En!” Fatty nodded.
”Absolute Canyon Life-Extermination, Black Corrupt Bone, River Styx Soul-Sucking! ”The valley is in the Di Kingdom, which is in the barren land in the north. The Black Lands are on the border of the Great Nether Kingdom in the west. However, the River Styx is the most mysterious and strange place. No one knows its exact location.”
”And then?”
”And then? Hehe, ”the black-faced man also took a sip of his wine,” The Styx has been discovered. ”
”The River Styx has been discovered?” However, as soon as he spoke, he immediately knew that he had lost his composure. He turned around and looked around, but he did not find anything out of the ordinary, so he continued his discussion in a low voice.
”Where is it?”
”How would I know? The cousin of the cousin of my brother's sworn brother, his wife's wife's cousin, was on good terms with me, and the news came from him.”
Fatty was momentarily stunned, he blinked his eyes and asked: ”Your brother's sworn brother's uncle, his wife's … Who is the cousin of his nephew? ”
The dark-faced man slapped his head and said in a low voice, ”Isn't that me!?”
”Oh …” The fatty was suddenly enlightened. ”How did you know?”
”I …”
”Wait, wait!” Fatty hurriedly stopped the black-faced man, ”Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush again.”
The black faced man gave the fatty a disdainful look, ”My great-grandfather's good friend was related to a popular person from the Immortal Emperor. That was something I got from him.”
”Oh, but so what if the location of the Styx is discovered?”
”No one knows about the dangers of the Styx. It seems like even the Immortal Emperor felt that it was extremely troublesome. Thus, he found a Soul Cultivator that hasn't appeared for 10,000 years and decided to have him explore it for us.”
”And then?”
Soul cultivators have appeared, and the world is in chaos. During the critical moment of the Immortal Demon War, the Immortals once again went to explore the River Styx.
The fatty's eyebrows creased together in anxiety. ”Can the immortal lords defend this place?”
”Why are you thinking so much? We're not going to participate in the war. Furthermore, the immortals should only be planning it out. The time for their true exploration should be after this war.”
”Un …”
The Immortal Emperor wasn't here, so he should've been happy, because no matter what he did, he had a chance of escaping. Judging from the expression on the man's face, this agreement of Xing Gan's should've been an extremely dangerous one, perhaps even suicidal. Now that there was a chance for him to survive, why did he still frown?
