Chapter 738: Fear of Death



Lord Hill's face changed drastically. As expected, they were the two Mahayana masters of the Zixiao Sect that Lord Crofts had mentioned!

"Isn't your target Crofts? Are you trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

"Crofts is quite strong. You can barely call him a malnourished tiger. In order to kill this malnourished tiger, I have to become stronger again." Zhongli Tingzhou looked regretful.

Gao Han's mouth twitched, he almost died, and he became stronger. He spoke so provocatively, is it so difficult to admit that he almost lost the fight?

Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at him. It was difficult. It would be impossible for him to admit that he was weaker than Crofts. After all, he was the one who killed the other party, so he was defeated by him. Besides, he had become stronger, and he was not wrong.

Okay, as long as you are happy.

"Impossible. Crofts is a great monarch-level warrior who has reached the great perfection. His strength is second only to the emperor. How can you kill him?" City Lord Hill didn't believe it. The other party's cultivation was only in the middle stage of Mahayana. How could he kill Crofts who had reached the great perfection?

Zhongli Tingzhou smiled, "How do you think the accident in the South Region happened?"

Lord Hill was filled with fear and shock. He actually had some guesses in his mind about the two people appearing here, but he just couldn't believe it.

“Who the hell are you!”

He suspected that the two were not newly promoted Mahayana masters, but must be top masters from Zixiao Sect or other secluded people pretending to be them!

"Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou of Zixiao Sect, don't you already know? If you don't want to die, just answer our questions obediently."

Lord Hill didn't believe it, and while he was talking, he immediately tore through space and escaped.

Tear and tear, the space is as hard as steel and cannot be torn open.

"It's useless. The space here has been blocked by me. You can't escape." Gao Han said lightly.

The Xumi World should now be said to be a big world. After the upgrade, the space has also become thicker. Even if the emperor comes in person, he may not be able to tear it apart.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Lord Hill tried several times but to no avail, and finally gave up hope.

"What is Crofts' purpose in coming to the Southern Region? Where did the missing strong man go?" Gao Han added a guess with a normal expression.

Lord Hill gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

A sword beam appeared silently in front of him.

Lord Hill was hit by the sword without any preparation and his arm was blown off.

Although the pain was not enough to make him cry out, the horror in his eyes was very obvious.

After all, he was a powerful warrior in the middle stage of the Great Monarch, but he had an arm blown off before he could even react.

He suddenly understood a little why Crofts died in their hands, if what they said was true.

"If you don't tell me, you will die. Anyway, we can still find out what we want." Zhongli Tingzhou sneered. Did he really think they would have any reservations?

Lord Hill gritted his teeth and said, "I said, will you really let me go?"

"That depends on whether what you say can satisfy us."

If he doesn't say it, he will die. If he says it, there might be a way to survive. He is afraid of death.

Lord Hill made a decision in an instant, "Okay, I'll tell you."

Gao Han couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was unexpectedly smooth. He didn't expect that the Lord of Hill City was so afraid of death. No wonder he found few casualties when he first arrived in Tufang City. It turned out that he was just slacking off.

"Everything is for the demon species. The reason why Crofts went out personally was to capture the Mahayana monks of the human race alive, as well as some combined monks. The southern region is vast and sparsely populated, so it is not taken seriously. No matter how big a commotion is made here, it will not attract much attention."

"Are you sure you won't attract attention? What about the Land of the Fallen?" Gao Han asked.

"The Fallen Land was an accident. When the Fallen Land appeared, the plan was already underway. Your Excellency did not expect the Fallen Land to appear at this time."

Zhongli Tingzhou frowned, "These demons, in order to obtain demon species, have come up with endless methods, either the demon species seal in the Fallen Land or the Twelve Star Evil Formation."

Lord Hill's pupils shrank. He had heard before that the Twelve-Layer Evil Formation had been broken, but he didn't expect it was done by these two people.

"Since Crofts didn't want to attract attention, why did he choose to attack the strong men of the sect this time?"

"Because most of those who can be captured in the Southern Region have already been captured..."

But since there are not enough people, we naturally have to start from the major sects of the human race.

It is not easy to take action in other places because there are many powerful human beings stationed there. Once an action is taken, it is easy to affect the entire body.

"Besides Elder Tian who was not captured before, has Crofts ever captured another Mahayana cultivator from the Purple Sky Sect?"

Lord Hill shook his head. "I don't know about that. Even if Crofts really caught him, he wouldn't tell us."

"Where were the arrested people detained?"

“She was sent away.”

"Where was it sent?"

"I don't know. Crofts just asked us to cooperate and won't tell me the specific plan." Lord Hill looked at him anxiously.

Zhongli Tingzhou said with disdain: "How can you be so useless? You know nothing. What use are you?"

Lord Hill sensed the murderous intent and said urgently, "Wait, I can take you to find out the information you want!"

Zhongli Tingzhou was really going to kill him. The Lord of Hill City, who had a strong desire to survive, was indeed very sensitive.

"oh?"

Lord Hill immediately spoke at his fastest speed, "Crofts has a confidant who helps him deliver the captured human warriors to their destinations. He was ordered to leave before. If he doesn't know that Crofts is dead, he will most likely come back. You can ask him. If that doesn't work, I can also take you to where you want to go. I am a great monarch with a very high status and can go to many places."

"You have successfully saved your life." Zhongli Tingzhou smiled and his murderous aura subsided.

Lord Hill wiped his forehead tremblingly; his back was already wet.

"Lead the way."

"Yes, yes, yes." Lord Hill immediately walked to the front to lead the way.

His Hill City was not affected. When they fought with Crofts, the location of the Falling Land was random. Later, the Falling Land was shattered and Hill City was not affected too much.

The two pretended to be demons again, and no one saw through them.

If Lord Hill had not seen their transformation with his own eyes, he would not have been able to see through their identities and he became increasingly wary of them.

Such a strong man is only in the middle stage of Mahayana. The other one cannot see through it, but his level should not be very high either. If they become strong men like the emperor, do they still have a way to survive?

He shuddered. Even the Great Perfect Crofts was dead. It was difficult to guarantee.

The demon guarding the city saw that the city lord had returned with only two of his men and thought that everyone else was dead.

Lord Hill did not explain, nor did he dare to. However, although he was not dead now, he would die soon. After he escaped, there was no one to restrain the Mahayana monks of Tufang City, and his men must have been wiped out.

Lord Hill brought the two evil stars to his mansion and took the initiative to drive away the people in the hall.

"What's the name of that confidant, and when will he be back?"

"His name is Maud. He usually makes a round trip in a day. He left yesterday at noon and will probably be back in a few hours. However, if the emperor tells him that Crofts is dead, he may not come back." Lord Hill almost said nothing.

Gao Han asked: "When a strong man dies, can the Demon King sense it? Or can all strong men sense it?"

Lord Hill: "Only the top masters like the emperors can sense it."

Gao Han pondered for a moment, "It seems that this Mod will never come back."

Lord Hill couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed.

If Mod hadn't come back, his chances of survival would have been quite high. These two people wanted to use him to find someone, but in this way, he would have to take greater risks and take the two people there. If they were discovered by the emperor, he might be in big trouble.

Gao Han had another plan. Seeing that Lord Hill didn't know about Crofts' death, he thought that other people wouldn't know either. He wanted to impersonate Crofts, but now that wasn't working.

"Wait another three hours. If he doesn't come back, you lead the way." After three hours, it was almost a day.

"Yes." Lord Hill looked worried.

Three hours later, Maude did not return and no message came. He probably thought that Crofts was dead and Hill City must have disappeared.

"Since we are going to put on a show, let's do the whole thing." Before leaving, Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile something that set off alarm bells in the heart of the Lord of Hill City, and then he destroyed Hill City.

Hill City Lord: "..."

His city, his subordinates, he became a completely single commander.

"This way you won't be suspected." Zhongli Tingzhou patted Lord Hill's shoulder through a layer of cloth.

Lord Hill felt like he was going to suffer internal injuries from the shock, so he really thanked him.

Although he felt like vomiting, the other party's action really helped him to cover up his lie.

Feeling very aggrieved, Lord Hill stopped talking and led them on their journey.

How he wished the journey could be longer, but unfortunately the top experts traveled too fast, especially the two humans whose control over space was stronger than his. It usually took him more than half an hour to get there, but they only took less than ten minutes.

"A royal city?"

Gao Han saw the name of the giant city from afar. He remembered that the Royal City was the weakest among the three levels of demon cities. He thought that Crofts would be carrying out such an important plan in the Imperial City.

Lord Hill had a blank expression on his face. "We don't know what the adults are thinking, and we can't interfere."

"I feel like you know something." Zhongli Tingzhou put the sword on his neck, "Will you tell me or not?"

Lord Hill swallowed a mouthful of blood and went back. How did he figure that out? But he was afraid of death.

"Because this royal city is related to the demon species, the plan is to build it here."

"You should have said it earlier. Why did you have to threaten me? What if I accidentally kill you? Where can you complain?" Zhongli Tingzhou patted his face lightly and rubbed the hilt of the sword against his body twice.

Hill City looked horrified.
