Han Feng returned to his usual secret room and forcibly erased the storage bag imprints of the third and fourth ancestors of the Bai family.
The two had a lot of immortal jade and semi-immortal artifacts in their storage bags, as well as some powerful cultivation techniques.
The only difference was that the fourth ancestor of the Bai family also had a piece of paper in his hand, which was a "book of the underworld" that exuded a ghostly aura.
"Both of them have a book of the underworld, it seems the Bai family has a lot of problems."
Han Feng believed that the Bai family was involved with the Undying Nether Sea, otherwise the three of them would not all possess a "Netherworld Book".
"The strongest member of the Bai family is not even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. The Undying Nether Sea has an Immortal Emperor level expert in charge. To collude with them, you would need an Immortal King."
After his analysis, he suddenly thought of someone: "Could it be that the Immortal King of Guangling is colluding with the Undying Nether Sea? That would explain everything."
Han Feng felt that he had discovered a great secret, a secret that concerned the life and death of a Celestial King.
"How about we try soul searching? Perhaps the Bai family knows something."
Han Feng looked at the four ancestors of the Bai family lying there like dead pigs, wanting to know if soul searching was the best way.
However, he felt that if he were to perform a soul search, he might encounter danger.
The Immortal King of Guangling is in cahoots with the Undying Nether Sea; this must not be known to outsiders.
As loyal followers of the Guangling Immortal King, the Bai family would surely have been subjected to a taboo by the Guangling Immortal King after learning the secret.
If Han Feng were to forcibly search the soul, he might trigger certain taboos.
After the taboo was triggered, the death of the four ancestors of the Bai family was not a major problem.
The problem is that triggering the taboo could very likely attract an attack from the Immortal King of Guangling.
His current strength is comparable to that of an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal; if he can't win, he can still escape.
Faced with a powerful Immortal King, Han Feng had no chance of survival.
"How about using a life simulation to search for the soul?"
Han Feng dismissed the idea as soon as it came to him.
He felt that with his current strength, it was better not to provoke a Celestial King and to develop his power cautiously.
The more you know, the sooner you'll die.
Han Feng decided to kill the fourth patriarch of the Bai family to absolve himself of this matter.
Even if they obtained the "Book of the Underworld" from the Bai family, they couldn't keep it on their person. They had Leng Hanmei sell it through the black market.
He picked up the Fire Kirin Sword, ready to end the lives of the fourth ancestor of the Bai family.
Seeing Han Feng approaching with murderous intent, the four ancestors of the Bai family, who had been motionless, suddenly moved.
But Han Feng reached out and grabbed the fourth patriarch of the Bai family instantly.
"You old bastard, you're quite cunning. You already have the ability to act, yet you're still pretending to be dead here."
"My lord, spare my life!"
"When you came to me, why didn't you think you would die? Now you know to beg me, but it's too late."
Han Feng was about to kill the fourth patriarch of the Bai family when the fourth patriarch, driven by a strong will to survive, quickly said, "I can tell you the secret of the Guangling Immortal King."
"Are you trying to kill me? If I didn't know the secret of the Immortal King of Guangling, he might not have paid any attention to me. But now that I know, it's my death day."
"This is also the secret I have to tell you, adults. Whether you know the secret or not, it may lead to your death."
"Are you exaggerating?" Han Feng's face was full of murderous intent.
"No!"
The fourth patriarch of the Bai family trembled with fear and hurriedly said, "I know, but not in great detail. My eldest brother once mentioned to us that if the Guangling Immortal King wanted to break through to the Quasi-Emperor level, he would have to sacrifice many people."
"You should have seen the 'Book of the Underworld' on me. These things were given to us by the Immortal King of Guangling. He told us to use them often, whenever we encounter danger."
“I have long suspected that the Guangling Immortal King is connected with the Underworld Ancestor. He cannot break through on his own and may have to follow the path of the Underworld Ancestor, which would require countless living beings to be sacrificed in the Underworld Sea.”
"Such a big matter, isn't Empress Tianxuan going to take care of it?" Han Feng said with a solemn expression.
If things are really as the fourth patriarch of the Bai family said, then the place he occupies is in danger again.
If the Immortal King of Guangling wants to sacrifice his life to improve his cultivation level, the place he will likely choose is one of the immortal cities near the Great Wilderness.
He had barely escaped the harm of the divine egg, yet he had come to Guangling Immortal King again.
Each of these figures has an even more formidable background than the last. The divine egg can even possess another body. The Guangling Immortal King is far too powerful and extremely difficult to deal with.
Could it be that there is a plan in the dark?
I used a life simulator to simulate life and changed some things, but I still couldn't change the overall trend.
"wrong!"
"The Undying Nether Sea mainly absorbs immortal souls and divine souls, unlike the divine egg which mainly consumes flesh and blood. The two have no influence on each other."
"In other words, the Guangling Immortal King could easily erase the matter by relying on the divine egg. The divine egg destroyed the immortal city beside the Great Wilderness, but no one in the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom dealt with it, which is very strange in itself."
"It's not that the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom is afraid of Wang Teng's blame, but that someone within the Tianxuan Immortal Kingdom has stopped this matter."
After thinking it over carefully, Han Feng realized that the logic made perfect sense.
The relationship between the Dragon Serpent Immortal Kingdom and the Heavenly Jade Immortal Kingdom is not good. How can you expect to sacrifice hundreds of millions of people just because of the Dragon Serpent Immortal Emperor's investiture?
Otherwise, if Empress Tianxuan found out about this, many people would be punished.
If someone in the immortal realm is manipulating these things, then everything makes sense.
"Empress Tianxuan has always been lazy and doesn't like to meddle in the affairs of the Immortal Kingdom. In addition, she treats her old subordinates very well. Unless there is solid evidence from the Immortal King of Guangling, filing a complaint is tantamount to courting death," the fourth ancestor of the Bai family explained.
"You mean I'd better give up everything now, or I'll be the one who dies?" Han Feng asked.
"Try to leave as early as possible. The Undying Nether Ancestor and the Guangling Immortal King are likely locked in a tug-of-war right now. Once they reach a decision, it will be difficult for you to leave."
"I'm really unlucky."
Han Feng sighed helplessly.
"My lord, I've risked my life to tell you so much, you can't let me go now," asked the fourth patriarch of the Bai family.
"Okay, you can leave."
Han Feng did not stop them any further and allowed the fourth patriarch of the Bai family to leave.
The fourth patriarch of the Bai family quickly stood up; although his skin was burned beyond recognition, he was otherwise unharmed.
He was afraid that Han Feng might change his mind at the last minute, so he quickened his pace considerably.
"Ahhh!!"
Before the fourth patriarch of the Bai family could even leave the secret chamber, a shrill scream rang out.
His flesh and soul automatically decomposed and disappeared in an instant.
"Just as I thought, if I were to search a soul, it would be the same, and I might even be discovered by the Immortal King of Guangling." Han Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Leng Hanmei disposed of more than a dozen semi-immortal artifacts, bringing Han Feng five million mid-grade immortal jade.
Immortal artifacts have always been a form of hard currency in the immortal realm, selling better than elixirs and talismans.
Originally, many Golden Immortal experts had to use low-grade immortal artifacts, but immortal artifacts were so scarce that they could only use semi-immortal artifacts.
For example, even a respectable family like the Bai family only used low-grade immortal artifacts when their third and fourth ancestors used them.
Leng Hanmei took more than a dozen semi-immortal artifacts to the black market and quickly sold them all at a very good price.
