Eternal Life Begins with Taking a Wife

Chapter 918: Attack (2)

Hence, there were many who took the risk. But this kind of thing is hard to find out. So there’s an underground black market.

Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others did not expect the juniors under the command of the Black Horn Legion to make such a deal. A Heavenly Immortal did not have such power. Therefore, when they heard this, their first reaction was that the Black Horn Legion was dealing the trade.

Once it gets out, the impact is enormous.

Fu Chengxue continued with a helpless expression, “How would I dare to make up such a thing? And even if I saw it, I wouldn’t dare to casually expose it. Not to mention that the Northern Ice Immortal City wouldn’t care, even if they did, with the other party’s background, they would most likely find a few scapegoats. Huo Yao also knows this, so he’s not in a hurry to take action.

“For him, watching me being cornered step by step might be what he wanted to see. I really don’t want to implicate you, Captain.”

Fu Chengxue had a clear mind. Whether it was reselling resources or secretly trading with the foreign races, it was basically a semi-public matter in the Northern Ice Immortal City. However, it had always been an unspoken rule. No one took the initiative to expose it. The Heavenly Court turned a blind eye to it. Unless someone exposed it, they would not care.

Pei Huoyu said, “From the looks of it, Huo Yao might use this power to deal with our Peace Squad. Firstly, this force is definitely not small and is very hidden. Secondly, even if they really destroy us, they won’t be able to trace it back to the Ghostfire Squad.”

Yin Honglian snorted, “There’s such a lousy thing everywhere. That Huo Yao probably covets the immortal artifacts on our team.”

Yu Yan pondered for a moment. “Chengxue, our team won’t leave the immortal city for the time being. After dealing with this matter, we’ll go out and continue doing anything. You can rest assured and stay in the encampment. Don’t leave alone because you’re afraid of being implicated. You’re smart. You should understand that even if you leave, Huo Yao might not let the team off.”

Fu Chengxue nodded silently. After she left, Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others started discussing. Actually, the reason why they were not worried was mainly because if the other party was not stupid, he would definitely investigate their background. When they first arrived in the county city, they had followed Shen Ping to the main city and stayed there for a few months. Therefore, if they really wanted to investigate, they could find out that there was a peerless immortal behind them.

How could a Heavenly Immortal like Huo Yao dare to attack? But things are different now. It was very likely that the Ghostfire Team was related to the underground dark forces in the Immortal City. Those forces did not care about their background. As long as there were huge benefits, they would dare to attack even if they had the bloodline of an Immortal King.

“Should I tell my husband about this?”

“This is not a small matter. Indeed, I have to tell my husband that it will be difficult for us to deal with it alone.”

“Then contact him.”

…

In the cultivation room of the huge cave abode that was the largest in the main city, waves of immortal auras kept colliding. If not for the fact that the cultivation room was made of special minerals, it would have long been destroyed by this aura.

He opened his eyes.

Shen Ping sensed the compressed immortal essence energy in his body and slowly exhaled. In the past twenty years, he had gone out to hunt Mystic Immortals and Peerless Immortals of other races while cultivating. Today, he had already compressed 30% of the immortal essence energy in his body into dense immortal essence energy.

After the complete conversion and compression was completed, he would use all kinds of rare treasures to train and nourish his body. After that, he relied on an opportunity to allow his Immortal Essence Energy and body to complete the fusion and transformation, and then he nurtured a Dao Embryo to break through to the Immortal King Realm.

This step was a painstaking one. There was no shortcut at all.

A transmission jade slip appeared. Shen Ping swept his immortal senses and received a message from his wives, concubines, and Dao companions. His expression was calm and unperturbed.

Cultivating until now, no matter how evil and dark things were, it was difficult to shake his emotions. This was also a price to pay for cultivation. After all, after seeing too much, he would become numb. As an expert, he would only feel that this was nothing new.

As the saying goes, nothing is new under the sun. As long as there were benefits, there would be darkness.

He walked out of the cultivation room and soon arrived at the Black Sky Tavern.

“I need all the information I can get on the Ghostfire team.”

Soon, all the information about Huo Yao and the Ghostfire Squad was recorded in the jade slip, including the commander of the Black Horn Legion behind him, the deal he secretly made, and the dark forces behind the deal.

Even without Venerable Sovereign Hei Tian presiding over it, the Black Sky Tavern had long been a colossus of the human race over the countless years. The members in charge of collecting information were all over every Immortal Realm. Perhaps their friends were the spies of the Black Sky Tavern. They were also in the Devil Clan, the Spirit Race, and the Flame Race. They also had spies to collect all kinds of information.

Therefore, many things in the Northern Ice Immortal City could not be hidden from the Black Sky Tavern. It’s just about Shen Ping’s identity. The Black Sky Tavern was not too clear, but even if they knew, this kind of thing was top secret.

“The 15th place on the bounty list, the Golden Splitting Spear, is actually the owner of the underground underground force, Phoenix House. It’s really surprising!”

He did not return to his cave abode. Instead Shen Ping went straight to the Clear Moon Teahouse. This teahouse was a place that his wife, concubine, and Dao companions liked to come to. Not only was it elegant, but it was also usually quiet. The immortal tea also tasted good. He had come here occasionally in the past few years.

“Senior, this way please. The private room is ready.”

He did not conceal his peerless immortal aura at all. The boss of Clear Moon Teahouse hurriedly welcomed him. His fat body looked like a ball and his cultivation was at the first level of the Mystic Immortal Realm. He brought Shen Ping to a private room with a passionate expression.

“Boss Chen, I have a favor to ask of you.”

The boss quickly said, “Senior, you’re too polite. Just tell me if you need anything.”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “Help me spread the news. Tell them that I’m waiting here for the owner of the Phoenix House to come. If he doesn’t come, the Phoenix House won’t exist.”

Boss Chen’s face sank. Phoenix House was one of the stronger forces among the underground dark forces. For so many years, it had secretly done business with the foreign races, but it was not banned or destroyed. Instead, it became stronger and stronger. It could be seen how powerful the owner behind it was.

This peerless immortal surnamed Shen had actually asked him to come in person. How arrogant was this? Even though they were both peerless immortals, there was a huge difference between them.

Although he wanted to refuse, Boss Chen did not dare to say anything. He could only agree obediently. Not long after, the fragrance of the immortal tea assailed his nostrils.

Shen Ping sat in the private room and waited. News of him inviting the owner of Phoenix House quickly spread throughout the Immortal City. It seemed that this kind of news spread extremely quickly. In less than an hour, many immortals came to the teahouse to watch the commotion.

Huo Yao, who was about to contact Phoenix House, received this news. “Is Shen crazy?! How dare he invite the owner? Is he crazy! Hmph, maybe he’s giving in.”

Huo Yao’s expression was uncertain. No matter what, he was the one who caused this matter. He would definitely be punished by the owner after this.

That’s right. He was also a member of Phoenix House. Due to his identity, he was qualified to participate in the secret transaction and take a share of it.

Huo Yao had originally planned to ask the Phoenix House to help find a foreign expert and kill them while they were out on a mission. Unexpectedly, the peerless immortal behind them moved before he could do so.

Cheng Yi the Golden Splitting Spear frowned when he received the news. He didn’t know why this new peerless immortal had suddenly invited him. Although very few people in the immortal city knew that he was the owner of Phoenix House, since the other party was a peerless immortal, he would definitely be able to get news from the Black Sky Tavern.

Hence, he called his subordinates over to ask. His subordinates were also confused.

“Forget it, I’ll go meet this new peerless immortal. It just so happens that I have plans to rope him in!”

He changed his identity, wore an immortal artifact mask that could hide his aura and face. He left the main city and arrived at the Clear Moon Pavilion. When the nearby immortals saw the owner appear, they were in an uproar.
