1498 Water of True Spirits (1/2)
”It is the most difficult thing to pay the debt of gratitude. Just forget it, and stay alive!” Bu Xiangfeng laughed and said, ”I am off now. Take care.”
”You too.”
Ping Shanyue said.
Before he said it, Bu Xiangfeng was already gone.
Ping Shanyue quietly sat down and said in a low voice, ”In the city, the Hall of Life and Death. That's right. In the City of Chaos, the Hall of Life and Death.”
After that, he closed his eyes and became like a sculpture again.
People like him were always high above ordinary people as if they could do whatever they wanted.
However, they knew how difficult it was.
Because they were powerful, what they had to do in their lives were much more dangerous than others!
In the Limitless Ocean, who was more powerful always met bigger dangers in daily life.
If there was a place that could save their lives, they would definitely keep it in mind.
Just as Bu Xiangfeng said, one should always keep alive first. How did a dead man talk about anything?
No matter how big a price they had to pay, they would pay it to continue their lives!
Everybody wanted to live!
…
The most famous inn in the City of Chaos was Brothers Drink, which belonged to the Brotherhood Alliance!
Brothers Drink was the name of the inn.
It was not only a hotel but also a restaurant. It was a huge building, where almost all the itinerant cultivators would stay at when they came to the City of Chaos.
Bu Xiangfeng's second target was right in this place.
He came here for three men.
People called these three men—Three Poisons in Lian Mountain. They were sworn brothers, also disciple brothers in the same sect.
Before Bu Xiangfeng entered the room of the First Poison, he knocked on the window.
When he got in, the three men were all sitting in the room, staring at him with caution.
Their eyes were like sharp swords pointing at Bu Xiangfeng.
”Old Bu, it is you!” The First Poison seemed to be more cautious. ”What are you doing here?”
The other two men both put their hands together, looking cautious.
They knew about Bu Xiangfeng. They were not friends but knew each other.
That was all. However, at this dangerous time, nobody knew what Bu Xiangfeng was after! What if he was here to kill the three brothers?
”Relax. I am here to offer you life. Well, one life, or three lives. How generous I am.” Bu Xiangfeng laughed.
…
After a while, Bu Xiangfeng left.
”Brother, what do you think? Is this guy telling the truth?” The Second Poison was in thoughts.
”Bu Xiangfeng is much more powerful than us. He doesn't need to fool us. It won't hurt us, and doesn't benefit him either.” The First Poison said.
”I think Old Bu is acting weird, but he has shown us kindness. It is always a good thing to have somewhere to save our lives. I don't care how much it costs.” The Third Poison said.
”Well… Let's not forget about that place then.” The First Poison took a breath and said, ”One will always get hurt in the martial world. Just in case… It is always good to have a place that can save us.”
”That's right. In the city, the Hall of Life and Death. I have marked it down!”
”Second, listen… Go to Master and his wife, and tell them the message.” The First Poison said.
”What? Tell Master and his wife? Who can possibly hurt them anyway…” The Second Poison was surprised.
”You fool! They don't need it, but our disciple brothers and disciple sisters do. Are you going to tell them one by one? Just tell Master and his wife, and they will do whatever should be done!” The First Poison stared at the Second Poison.
”Yes. That's right. I'm on it.” The Second Poison looked upset.
”No matter how much it costs, it is a chance to live. Life is much more important than anything else.”
The First Poison saw the Second Poison off and murmured.
”I don't think Old Bu would lie about this.”
…
In the end, Bu Xiangfeng had told three groups of people. He should have done a great job, but he wanted to do better, so he told two more men. After that, all the people that he knew that had arrived at the city were informed.
So he started to go back.
”I truly don't know what it can actually bring us.” Bu Xiangfeng was confused. ”If you want to let more people know, you should tell as many people as you can. Why did he only want me to tell a few people? What is that about? If these people don't get hurt, I have wasted my time over there, haven't I?”
”I really wonder what is in the young man's head.”
Ye Xiao was watching the construction going with both hands behind his back.
The high walls were rising up. He was the owner of them. That made him feel proud.
Everybody would have this feeling. Whoever had bought a house and watched the workers decorating the interior could feel the same feeling.
The walls seemed to be big and tall, but could only keep normal people out. They wouldn't stop the cultivators. With a jump, most of the cultivators could get over the wall. Some of the cultivators could even easily destroy the wall with one hit.
However, without the walls, Ye Xiao just didn't feel like he owned the place. It was all about a sense of security.
The walls were almost finished. It reminded Ye Xiao of the legend in the city, Ye Hongchen. 'Perhaps, when the Great Master Ye built the City of Chaos, he had a similar feeling as I do now.'
”The Hall of Life and Death should be separated from the mansion.”
Ye Xiao looked at the woods not far away from the mansion.
He decided to make it an unattached place. The Monarch's Hall would become a large organization, and he didn't want the patients staying in the yard of the mansion…
It just didn't look good.
After making the decision, Ye Xiao slowly entered the woods alone.
When he came out of the woods, everybody else was shocked.
The workers, the Dark Evil Spirit, and Bai Long were all shocked.
The woods had changed!
When they first saw the woods, the biggest tree among all was only as thick as two men holding hands. It was not allowed to let the trees grow as big as they could in the city after all.
However…
After Ye Xiao got in and out, the trees became taller and bigger.
After a while, when Bai Long looked at the trees, he was shocked.
The construction of the Monarch's Hall had started for quite some days. There were people sweeping the floor every day. The fallen leaves on the ground would be cleared every time, and a small path into the woods was revealed… Now there was a thick layer of leaves on the floor all of a sudden…
The leaves had covered the ground, and it was a few feet thick…
