C858 The Truth Was Revealed
At this moment, Liu Wenyao still had some bitterness in his heart. He wanted to slap himself twice so that he could think of a way to make him think that he was smart. One piece of news for two families. He lifted a stone and smashed it on his own feet.
"City Lord Liu, there are hundreds of thousands of cultivators looking at you. Why are you still hesitating?" South-suppressing King was a bit unhappy. The longer this matter dragged on, the more variables there would be. He had to act quickly.
Besides, just like what the cultivators had analyzed, he relied on ruthlessness. If the other party thought for too long, it would be detrimental to him.
Ruthless could only intimidate others for a moment. In the end, the winner would still be the fist. In this aspect, South-suppressing King was at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, South-suppressing King knew that there were still some rogue cultivators who did not manage to analyze the situation properly. It was the upcoming thousand year grand ceremony of Great Zhou Dynasty. He, Liu Wenyao, only needed to survive this year. Wait! After Pingwu King and South-suppressing King participated in the grand ceremony, there were no cultivators in the entire Pingwu and Tiannan counties who could do anything to him.
During this period of time, Liu Wenyao could totally hide in Pingwu King's mansion. Even if South-suppressing King had extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Liu Wenyao.
Compared to South-suppressing King's urgency, Pingwu King seemed much calmer. Reputation was something that couldn't be seen or touched, but it was the last straw that could crush a camel's back at a critical moment.
Even if South-suppressing King swore a poisonous oath that he would protect Liu Wenyao with all his might in the future, would Liu Wenyao dare to believe it?
The Heart Devil Oath, although it sounded like an oath of the Great Dao, it would harm a cultivator's Dao heart if it was not abided by. However, that was actually the case. It just depended on whether one was willing to remove it or not.
"I..."
After a few minutes of thinking, Liu Wenyao finally made up his mind and said solemnly, "I want to ask Pingwu King to search the Fallen Immortal City."
Boom! Boom!
As soon as Liu Wenyao finished speaking, the entire world fell into silence. Even though the answer wasn't out of everyone's expectation, however, when they heard the news... The shock wasn't shallow. Because this indicated that Liu Wenyao had completely offended a Deification Period King.
The fate of Liu Wenyao in the future and the fate of Fallen Immortal City instantly became blurred.
South-suppressing King stood on the deck with an ashen face. He gritted his teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. Liu Wenyao's choice had completely infuriated him.
What about Pingwu King? A victorious smile appeared on his face and he said, "City Lord Liu, your choice is very wise. I believe that you won't regret your choice today."
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Liu Wenyao cupped his hands and said.
Pingwu King nodded, then looked at South-suppressing King and said, "South-suppressing King, you should give up now! I advise you to bring your Cultivator Army away as soon as possible so that you won't lose face here."
South-suppressing King was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He said fiercely, "Liu Wenyao, you are a good man. You are a two-faced man. Back then, you promised to only tell me the news of the Wu Family having the Spirit Vein. I didn't expect you to betray your word and tell Pingwu King behind my back. Today, you fooled me again and again. I will remember this grudge. I don't believe that Pingwu King can protect you for the rest of your life. Otherwise, I will kill you."
Putting aside how ruthless South-suppressing King's threat was, it was already a foregone conclusion that they would fight to the death. No one would doubt South-suppressing King's character.
However, the information contained in it had shocked countless of cultivators.
What? The news that the Wu Family possessed the Spirit Vein was leaked to South-suppressing King and Pingwu King by Liu Wenyao?
The three families of Xian Lin, Liu Family, Wu Family, and Yun Family were the three largest independent families in the Xianlin Mountain. They were also the families that were in charge of the Fallen Immortal City.
There must be some conflicts between the three families, but that was also the internal conflict of the rogue cultivators in Xianlin Mountain. Since when had there been any conflicts between South-suppressing King and Pingwu King?
The city lord was the strongest rogue cultivator with the highest cultivation and combat strength. This was something that the rogue cultivators of Xianlin Mountain had to admit. But now, the Liu Family was trying to protect their position as the City Lord. They had leaked the biggest secret of the Wu Family, causing the destruction of the Wu Family. It also involved tens of millions of rogue cultivators in the two counties.
One should know that although the two princes had not fought for a long time, they had caused a lot of trouble for the rogue cultivators.
In the past, even though the rogue cultivators suffered, they only acted based on the expressions of the two Royal Highnesses. However, their days were still passable and they could still cultivate in peace.
However, when the war broke out, the situation was completely different. The two Royal Highnesses had an excuse to recruit rogue cultivators into the army.
Only a few were willing to obey the enlistment and were willing to be cannon fodder, but most of them chose to flee.
This could be said to be in accordance with the Royal Highnesses' wishes.
Rogue cultivators were poor, but no matter how small a mosquito was, it still had meat. Without any hesitation, they brandished the butcher's knife in their hands and killed the rogue cultivators. Then, they robbed the wealth of the rogue cultivators.
Lee Hao knew this very well, because many of the treasures he looted from the cities were left behind by the rogue cultivators.
All of this was caused by Liu Wenyao's personal desire. At least tens of millions of rogue cultivators had died in this war.
In the past, it was fine if no one knew about it, but now, South-suppressing King had shed all pretenses of cordiality and sold Liu Wenyao out without any hesitation. Liu Wenyao immediately became the target of all criticism.
"Liu Wenyao's heart is so vicious! He actually did such a thing that forgets his sense of justice. My child, I finally know who is behind this." A cultivator cried bitterly.
Of course, it wasn't just one person. Many cultivators immediately looked at Liu Wenyao with hatred, as if they were drinking Liu Wenyao's blood and eating his flesh.
Although it was South-suppressing King and Pingwu King who did this, these two forces were too powerful. How could the rogue cultivators dare to have any thoughts of revenge?
However, Liu Wenyao was different. Although he was a Great Perfection of Nascent Infant, as long as he didn't break through to the Soul Formation realm, he wouldn't be able to enjoy any extraordinary treatment. Among the rogue cultivators, there were some who could defeat him.
These people were only the ones who were implicated. As the person in charge, Wu Zimei's mood could be imagined.
At this moment, her eyes were burning with fury. If it wasn't for Lee Hao holding her back, she was afraid that she would have sought revenge from Liu Wenyao.
Compared to the person who directly swung his sword, this kind of troublemaker was even more hated by others. Lee Hao couldn't stand it any longer. He said solemnly, "Miss Wu, don't worry! I will definitely take Liu Wenyao's head and comfort your family members' souls."
Wu Zimei was so touched that she laid on Lee Hao's chest and cried. If she wanted Lee Hao to fuck her in the past, she would only use her body as a bargaining chip. But at this moment, there was a kind of emotion spreading in her heart.
On the city wall, Liu Wenyao's face was as dark as Bao Gong's. He had thousands of complaints about South-suppressing King. Damn it, they had agreed not to let a third person know about this matter. Now, there were more than three people. There were hundreds of thousands of cultivators in Fallen Immortal City.
This time, Liu Wenyao's reputation was completely ruined. Even if he could escape from South-suppressing King's pursuit, would he still have the face to stay in Fallen Immortal City?
This was hard to say. What was the meaning of 'strength is king'? The fist was big, so who wouldn't accept it? Who would stand out and see if I dare to touch you?
Therefore, even though Liu Wenyao had heard the gossips behind, he didn't take them seriously. Instead, he made up his mind to deal with these rogue cultivators after he got through this crisis.
It couldn't be helped. At this moment, Liu Wenyao also felt aggrieved. He urgently wanted to find some blind people to vent his anger.
