Li Boran turned pale with fright and quickly returned to the people of Lingzhou.
He felt lucky that he had glanced to the side, otherwise the person might already be dead.
After the initial grief of learning of his death, his family and friends will likely be preparing for a joyous feast.
He wasn't sure if Han Feng would refrain from killing everyone in Lingzhou, but one thing was certain.
He was the only one in Lingzhou who opposed him, so Han Feng certainly wouldn't show any mercy.
"Didn't you say you would support me? Why are you all backing down at this crucial moment?"
Li Boran was so angry that his face turned red as he questioned the people of Lingzhou.
"Senior Li, you've misunderstood us. Our support is spiritual."
"Yes, yes, we are your spiritual support!!"
...
The people of Lingzhou had a strong will to survive and would never try to reason with Han Feng.
They just want Li Boran to go there; it would be best if Li Boran could persuade Han Feng.
If Li Boran hadn't said he was killed, it wouldn't have been him who died.
"Everyone, don't have these unnecessary thoughts. You'd better just collect the spirit stones you have," Qin Buli sighed.
The group pooled their spirit stones and managed to gather a mere one million top-grade spirit stones.
"This is probably not enough!" Qin Buli said with a bitter expression.
"Senior Qin really doesn't have any more. This isn't the first time we've given him spirit stones; it's been many times. He's long since run out of spirit stones."
"Let's give it to them first and see. This time, Old Devil Han is hard to talk to, since we scolded him quite harshly."
"We can only blame ourselves. You need to have the ability to watch the show. If you don't have the ability, what's the point of watching the show? Now everyone's relatives and friends are going to have a feast."
...
The people of Lingzhou were extremely uneasy, feeling that a great disaster was about to befall them.
"The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is up. Has everyone made up their minds?" Han Feng also walked over.
"Senior Han, this million top-grade spirit stones is all we have left," Qin Buli hurriedly took out.
“Alas! I really want to help you, but you won’t give me the chance. I am also a man of my word. You have given me so many spirit stones, I will not kill you. It just so happens that my Huangfeng Valley is facing an attack from a major sect in Lingzhou, and the entire sect is in dire need of manpower. You can join Huangfeng Valley with me.”
"Joining Yellow Maple Valley? Senior Han, you must be joking."
The people of Lingzhou quickly waved their hands in refusal.
Huangfeng Valley has offended large sects such as Taiqing Sect and Tianmo Sect. In the past, it was only because of the natural defenses that they allowed it to act recklessly.
With the natural barrier about to disappear, we absolutely cannot allow it to run rampant.
Furthermore, Han Feng killed over a hundred elite disciples of the Taiqing Sect, which will surely enrage the sect upon learning of this.
Joining Yellow Maple Valley now is probably no different from death.
To be precise, it would be worse than death; in Han Feng's hands, it might just mean his own demise.
But if it falls into the hands of a sect in Lingzhou, it will bring disaster to their own sect and family.
"I understand what you mean. You think Huangfeng Valley is not good enough for you, so you have no reason to live," Han Feng said, feigning anger.
"Senior Han, you misunderstand. We are not saying that Huangfeng Valley is bad, but we have sects above us and families below us. If we join, they may be gone."
"That's right. For example, the Taiqing Sect seems to be a prestigious and righteous sect, but if we offend their interests, we will definitely die."
"Senior Han, please change your terms. It's not that we're unwilling, it's just that the sects in Lingzhou are too ruthless."
...
Having experienced what happened before, the people of Lingzhou have come to see the true nature of major sects like Taiqing Sect.
If we touch these major interests, these major corporations will never let us off the hook.
Even the so-called number one righteous sect, Taiqing Sect, is like this, not to mention other sects.
"I've thought about it and I don't have any good conditions. If you don't want to join Yellow Maple Valley, don't blame me for being ruthless," Han Feng said helplessly.
"Spare me, Senior Han!"
The people of Lingzhou turned pale with fright, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
"Senior Han, I think there's another way?" Li Boran quickly asked.
"What method?" Han Feng asked.
"Senior Han isn't the one who likes spirit stones the most. I can help Senior Han get more spirit stones. Now, Senior Han, temporarily block the news of the destruction of Taiqing Sect. Then you can send us back to Lingzhou and say that Taiqing Sect is about to occupy Huangfeng Valley and that the Xuantian Spiritual Treasure may have already fallen into the hands of Taiqing Sect."
“People from other sects will definitely take action and rush to Tiannan. But if Senior Han spreads the news of the destruction of Taiqing Sect to Lingzhou, I'm afraid people from other major sects won't come to Tiannan.” Li Boran’s face was full of smugness.
“What you said makes a lot of sense, but you’ve overlooked one point: the Taiqing Sect has soul lamps. Would the Taiqing Sect not know if these people died?” Han Feng voiced his doubts.
"Senior Han, you can rest assured. Taiqing Sect will definitely not say that they lost so many people while other sects did not lose a single person. The competition among sects in Lingzhou is very fierce. With one side gaining at the expense of the other, Taiqing Sect will definitely not be willing to accept this."
"You make a very good point."
Han Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Li Boran revealed a smug smile: "I wonder if Senior Han can let us leave now? We'll definitely help you spread the word."
“That won’t do. If you don’t promote this for me when you get back to Lingzhou, I don’t think I can do anything about it. Besides, promotion can be done by a few people.”
"That might not be a good idea."
“There’s nothing wrong with it. I still need to supplement your plan. Just some publicity is definitely not enough. For example, when they come to the Immortal Island, there should be cultivators from Lingzhou. If the entire Immortal Island is empty when they arrive, do you think they will believe it?”
"Alright then, let's discuss it."
Li Boran discussed the matter with the people of Lingzhou and finally selected more than twenty people.
These twenty-odd people all had decent cultivation levels and were quite popular in Lingzhou.
More importantly, they all have hostages among this group.
If they harbor malicious intentions, the first to die will be those closest to them.
Of course, Han Feng also took the divided souls of everyone, so that if he sensed something was wrong, he could quickly turn them into idiots.
"Finally back in Lingzhou. I'd rather die than watch this kind of show again."
Li Boran was the one who came up with the idea, and he also joined the group of twenty.
After returning to Lingzhou, he did not spread any so-called "rumors".
This propaganda campaign was certainly risky; these large vanguard forces were almost completely wiped out in Tiannan.
This could very well infuriate these sects, prompting them to investigate and prosecute those who spread the rumors.
Even if they finish their publicity and hide immediately, they are still very likely to be discovered.
Li Boran decided not to publicize his whereabouts and to conceal his identity upon returning to Lingzhou, so that no one would know where he was.
Although his divided soul was in Han Feng's hands, he had a secret technique to get rid of it.
