"Buzz—"
Just as Huoshiyun turned off the communication device, it rang again. The message on the device indicated that it was a message from Li Chu.
However, Firestone Meteor did not re-establish contact; instead, it immediately shut it off again.
"Buzz—"
However, just a moment later, the communication device prompted another connection request.
The Firestone Meteor was turned off again.
Watching this scene, Huo Shi'ao's emotions fluctuated between rising and falling. He vaguely guessed the plans of the Fallen Ancestor, but this was ultimately about a Sacred Sound Stone, which made him nervous.
After repeating this process several times, the Firestone Meteor finally chose to connect.
Lee Chu's image reappeared on the other side.
"Fallen Saint, you're ruthless..." Upon appearing, Li Chu was seen with a gloomy face, speaking hatefully.
It has to be said that Firestone Meteor had grasped his weakness, making it impossible for him to refuse Firestone Meteor's threat. However, the matter was not completed, and he had to pay the price of a Holy Sound Stone, which ultimately made him very angry.
Upon hearing Li Chu's words, Huo Shiyun's lips curled slightly. He knew that the matter was settled.
Then, he smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Li, you're too kind. How about this, I'll also tell you some news about your life and safety, and in return, you give me a Sacred Sound Stone?"
"News concerning my life and safety?" Li Chu's expression changed.
“Indeed, if Young Master Li were unaware of this news, he might be in grave danger of perishing,” Huo Shiyun nodded slightly.
"Alright, if the information you gave me is true, I'll give you a Holy Sound Stone." Li Chu gritted his teeth and said. Anyway, he had already planned to give the other party a Holy Sound Stone to shut them up. If he could also get some information about his life and safety in return, it would be a good return on his investment.
"Would Young Master Li like to make an oath?" Huo Shiyun asked with a smile.
Li Chu's expression changed again. Experts at their level value oaths extremely. If they take an oath and then break it, it will affect their state of mind. This slight change in state of mind could affect their future prospects. When they reach a certain level, they may no longer be able to climb to a higher level.
"If Young Master Li is unwilling, then let's leave it at that. Our Huoshi family is not one to force others." Seeing Li Chu's ever-changing expression and his silence, Huoshi Yun's smile faded, and he said calmly.
As he spoke, he had a thought and was about to put away the communication device.
"Wait..." Just then, Li Chu hurriedly said.
This time, it was his turn to be anxious. If this matter ended here, he was afraid that the Huoshi family would reveal that he was the one who instigated the Huoshi family to deal with Lin Yun.
The Firestone family and the Immortal Origin Holy Land had long known of their ambitions. If he really wanted to, it wouldn't be impossible for the Firestone family to sow discord among the people of their Immortal Origin Holy Land.
He had just agreed to Huoshiyun's request. In fact, he had already decided that when he returned this time, he would see if the Sacred Sound Stone was easy to obtain. If it was, he would give it to the Huoshi family without hesitation.
If it weren't for the good, he would have delayed as long as possible, and even if the Firestone family made it public, he could still forcefully refuse.
However, what Huoshiyun said next made him take it seriously.
Whether or not he reveals a piece of information could put his life in danger.
What could be more important than his life?
Someone like Huoshiyun wouldn't lie to him; he wouldn't dare gamble...
"What?" Firestone asked calmly, showing no sign of being in a hurry.
"It's just an oath, I'll swear it! As long as the information that Fallen Saint tells me can truly determine my life or death, I will give Fallen Saint a Saint Sound Stone. If I break this oath, may I never be able to climb to a higher realm and die a terrible death!" Li Chu gritted his teeth and said.
As he spoke, he used some techniques, fearing that the information Huoshiyun was telling him was just a lie, or empty talk, or information he already knew.
If he already knew this news, it wouldn't determine his life or death, because he would have already prepared for it. In that case, he wouldn't have needed to give the other party the Holy Sound Stone.
"Hehe, Young Master Li, you flatter me." Huo Shiyun said with a light smile, not taking any hidden meaning in Li Chu's words seriously.
Hearing Huo Shiyun's words, Li Chu gritted his teeth, his resentment growing even stronger. "So serious?" he thought. "Wasn't it this old man who forced me to make the oath? Now he says it's serious? How hypocritical! If he's so capable, why doesn't he make me make the oath?"
At the same time, he was also deeply wary of the cunning of these old guys. He had already thought things through, but unexpectedly, he still had to compromise again and again.
A hint of regret crept into his heart. If he had known, he wouldn't have cooperated with them in the first place, or he wouldn't have personally intervened. However, the situation was urgent at the time, and only his intervention could make the Firestone Family take it seriously and immediately agree and execute the agreement. If it had been an ordinary cultivator, or even a super strong one, the Firestone Family probably wouldn't have paid any attention to him.
Now, Lin Yun has failed to deal with him, and instead, he has suffered considerable losses, which is so frustrating that it makes one want to vomit blood.
"The news I intend to tell Young Master Li is that Lin Yun's battle pet's mother, the super golden beast Can, has already followed the path you fled along. Star beasts generally have strong tracking abilities, and super star beasts are even more so. I hope Young Master Li will be careful, as it would be bad if you were caught up," Huo Shiyun continued.
"What? That super golden beast is chasing me?" Li Chu's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
He knew how strong that super golden beast was. Even among the fourth level of the super realm, it was a formidable force. Otherwise, with the super golden beast joining forces with Mo Dan and Lin Yun, they wouldn't have been able to overpower Huo Shi Ao and Huo Shi Wei.
Huo Shi Ao and Huo Shi Wei were not ordinary fourth-level Super Realm experts. Lin Yun, Mo Dan, and Can, along with their beast, were able to overpower the two of them. Although this was related to Lin Yun's combat awareness and the two powerful magic weapons, it was also largely due to the fact that Mo Dan and Can were not ordinary fourth-level Super Realm experts.
Between Mo Dan and Chan, Chan is much stronger.
“You—you—how dare you scheme against me—” Li Chu then said angrily.
Just now, he was running fast, but he stopped because Huoshiyun said Lin Yun was in a competition and wasn't chasing him. Now, he's been standing still for quite some time... Just how fast is that super golden beast?
It is very likely that the time he spent there put him in great danger.
How could he not be furious?
"call!"
He didn't have time to say anything more and immediately fled into the distance.
"Young Master Li, why do you say that? You only asked about the situation at the Heavenly Dao Fruit Competition. I only said that Lin Yun was competing and wasn't chasing you, but I didn't say that the others weren't chasing you either!" Huo Shiyun said calmly.
"puff--"
On the other side, Li Chu heard Huo Shiyun's words. Coupled with the fact that he had been traveling at high speed and his aura was already chaotic, and that he had just frantically and quickly activated all his strength, his blood and qi became unstable again. Finally, he couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Firestone's words were a perfect finishing touch.
Even though he knew that Huoshiyun was plotting against him, he couldn't say anything wrong about it.
In the end, Li Chu said no more and angrily turned off the communication device.
"Haha... That's satisfying... Really satisfying... The Fallen Ancestor was truly brilliant..."
On the other side, seeing Huo Shiyun manipulate Li Chu with ease, Huo Shiao finally couldn't help but burst into laughter the moment Li Chu turned off his communication device.
However, Huoshiyun frowned slightly, showing no sign of joy.
"Ancestor Yun, what's wrong with you?" Huo Shi Ao quickly noticed Huo Shi Yun's expression and asked with slight confusion.
"During our conversation just now, Li Chu acted very reasonably, which is really hard to guess. Is this a conspiracy by the Immortal Origin Holy Land?" Huo Shiyun shook his head slightly and said.
"The Ancestor of Fallen Souls said that Li Chu might still be part of a conspiracy by the Immortal Origin Holy Land?" Huo Shi'ao's expression changed as he asked.
Just now, Li Chu's reaction made him think that Li Chu's actions were indeed something he had done on his own.
It's normal for some conflicts to occur among powerful forces. Let alone scheming against a genius from the same force, he has seen countless cases of fratricide, murder, and even killing one's mother or father over a long period of time.
For example, such incidents are countless within their vast Firestone family.
Conversely, it would be abnormal for a major power not to have such struggles.
"Uncertain, uncertain. This is where Li Chu was just now. You can confirm it later and see what their battle was like after Na Can caught up with him." Huo Shiyun shook his head and said. Finally, he sent a message to Huo Shiao.
"That super golden beast, can it really catch up with Li Chu? Wouldn't Li Chu be in danger... that Holy Sound Stone..." Huo Shi'ao's expression changed drastically.
“If Li Chu hadn’t lingered for a while, that super golden beast might not have been able to catch up with him. Unfortunately, he lingered for a while, and as long as that super golden beast didn’t hold back, it could have caught up,” Huo Shiyun said, shaking his head slightly.
If Li Chu heard Huo Shiyun's words, he would surely be so angry that he would vomit blood several more times.
"If it kills that Li Chu, it will prove that this is not a conspiracy by the Immortal Origin Holy Land. There really is a conflict within the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Even if we cannot obtain that Holy Sound Stone, it will still be worthwhile." After a pause, Huo Shiyun glanced at Huo Shiao and continued.
The Sacred Sound Stone contains the sermons of the sages of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. Although he wanted to hear it, he wasn't particularly eager. After all, he was now also a sage, and he was naturally extremely proud to have reached this level.
He didn't think that the preaching voice of any random saint in the Immortal Origin Holy Land could have much of an impact on him; it would be more likely if it were the preaching voice of the First Saint.
Furthermore, now that he knows that if the strength of them, the Saint-level experts, were to increase further, they would leave this universe prematurely, he naturally cares even less about this matter.
If we get it, that's good; if we don't, it doesn't matter.
However, he knew that Huo Shi Ao desperately wanted that Sacred Sound Stone.
After all, he had gone to the Immortal Origin Holy Land and listened to the sermons of the Immortal Origin Holy Land before breaking through to the Saint Realm. It is understandable that Huo Shi'ao wants to follow his path.
However, having gone through the process of breakthrough, he was also aware that this was not only due to listening to the sages of the Immortal Origin Holy Land preach, but also greatly related to his usual accumulation of knowledge and his understanding of the Great Dao.
In this respect, Huoshiao is still somewhat lacking.
However, he obviously couldn't tell Huo Shi'ao about this directly.
Therefore, he paused and said again, "Don't worry, Li Chu has the combat power of the third level of the Super Realm. In addition, he is the pride of the Immortal Origin Holy Land. He must have some life-saving items. However, if that super golden beast chases after him, it should not be able to cause fatal damage to him. So, your investigation this time is just to find out the specific level of their battle."
Hearing what Huoshiyun said next, Huoshiao breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alright, leave this to me,” Huo Shi’ao nodded.
call.
Then, Huo Shi Ao teleported away.
...
A starry sky, the accelerated space, all hazy and gray.
A young man flies rapidly, teleports, and shifts through space.
"Damn it! Damn it..." the young man cursed angrily as he hurried along.
This young man was none other than Li Chu.
"boom--"
Suddenly, a space around him was torn apart, and a huge golden beast claw reached out from the other side of the space.
"What? Super Gold Beast! That Chan is coming!"
Li Chu looked up, his face filled with terror.
Super golden beasts are extremely rare in this universe. Currently, only two are known to the public: one is Lin Yun's battle pet, Xiao Jin, which is only at the first level of the Super Realm; the other is Xiao Jin's mother, Can, who is at the fourth level of the Super Realm.
This super golden beast also exudes the aura of the fourth level of the Super Realm. Who else could it be but Can?
"Bang--"
In an instant, the beast's claw slammed down on his body.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the countless layers of defense on his body shattered, and his body flew backward like a meteor.
"So...so terrifying!"
Li Chu, who was sent flying backward, was even more horrified.
The Immortal Origin Holy Land also has experts at the fourth level of the Super Realm, and there is more than one. He is not without opponents among the experts at the fourth level of the Super Realm of their Immortal Origin Holy Land.
However, none of the experts at the fourth level of the Super Realm of their Immortal Origin Holy Land possessed the terrifying strength displayed by this Super Golden Beast.
This strength far surpasses that of an ordinary fourth-level Super Realm expert.
At this moment, he seemed to finally understand why Huo Shi Ao and Huo Shi Wei, both fourth-level experts of the Super Realm, were defeated so quickly and badly when facing Mo Dan, this Super Golden Beast, and Lin Yun.
This super golden beast is incredibly powerful!
"Run! Run! Run!"
Li Chu turned around, no longer daring to make contact with the super golden beast, and immediately activated all the power in his body, quickly fleeing into the distance.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
At the same time, he kept throwing one after another of his unique magical treasures, trump cards, and talismans behind him.
This is not the time for him to feel sorry for himself.
Look at Huo Shiwei and Huo Shiao; they didn't use some of their trump cards at the beginning, and in the end, even if the two wanted to use them, it was too late.
He can't end up like that.
