Everyone was stunned by her words. Wang Yanzhao knew there would be side effects, such as a decline in cultivation, but he never expected it would cost him his life.
"Miss Yan, why are you doing this?" Wang Yanzhao sighed heavily. He never expected that after Wang Hao's death, these confidantes would not only not leave, but would also risk their lives to help him.
Shi Mengqi took a deep breath and said with a determined look in her eyes, "After the Yantian Conference ends, I will ask Qing Liuli for help."
"I'll go too. If she doesn't make a move, I'll die in front of her." Qingran's expression was firm. Yan Qin was willing to pay the price of her life for Wang Hao's mother, so what right did she have to hesitate?
Wang Yanzhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, a sense of powerlessness penetrating his heart. He didn't blame anyone but himself for his lack of strength. If he had the cultivation of a Saint, let alone Qing Liuli.
Even if it means turning Tianxing upside down, they will save Wang Hao and extend his wife's life.
Time flies, and ninety years have passed since the Battle of the Styx. The victor is king and the loser is villain. No matter how amazing Wang Hao was before, few people remember him now.
As the Yantian Conference drew ever closer, in the ninety-fifth year, Yin Yi, the young master of the black market, rose to prominence, breaking through barriers and establishing himself again, his cultivation reaching the level of an Earth Immortal.
Even the older generation of martial artists at the Great Perfection of the Earth Immortal Realm were no match for him. Yin Yi even once wanted to challenge the geniuses of the One Sect, Two Schools, Three Schools, Four Towers and Five Families.
But everyone avoided him. Everyone was busy preparing for the Yantian Conference, and no one paid any attention to this madman. For a time, he was the center of attention.
Just when Yin Yi was at the height of his power, martial artists from various sects in the universe arrived one after another. A young disciple of the Qiankun Sect, having heard that he was very strong, issued a challenge.
The disciple of the Qiankun Sect called himself the King of the Underworld. He had a seven-foot-long sword at his waist, wore a white robe, and had a bronze mask on his face that looked neither like he was crying nor laughing.
"You are Hades? You want to challenge me?"
In a small town near the Tianxing Minghe Conference, Yin Yi took the initiative to find the Underworld King, originally thinking that he could easily defeat him in a few moves.
However, when they actually met, they discovered that they couldn't see through the other person's cultivation level, and the mask worn by Hades had a magical power that could absorb a person's spiritual energy.
If a martial artist has weaker mental strength, they will lose the initiative in just one exchange, or even die.
Hades didn't speak, but simply extended a finger and beckoned to Yin Yi.
This is outrageous! They clearly don't take Yin Yi seriously. After all, Yin Yi is a Tianxing person. To be provoked like this by an outsider is intolerable.
"Hmph, you're really courting death." Yin Yi moved his feet and instantly appeared in front of Hades. He clenched his fist, and a golden holy figure appeared behind him. In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.
The houses in the town were on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, the town was protected by the array of Tianji Sect warriors. Otherwise, with Yin Yi's aura alone, the town would have been razed to the ground.
"Bang!"
Yin Yi threw a punch, but missed Hades. His fist was stopped by Wu Aoyu, the elder of the Black City, just three inches away from Hades. Wu Aoyu pulled Yin Yi back.
"Young Master, let's go back to the black market first." Although Wu Aoyu was talking to Yin Yi, his eyes were fixed on Hades not far away.
Yin Yi's mind stirred, realizing that things might not be so simple. So he nodded, and the two of them turned into a streak of light and disappeared.
Hades didn't move an inch from beginning to end, just standing there straight in place. Only after Wu Aoyu and Yin Yi left did he stiffly twist his neck and whisper, "What a pity."
"Elder, is there something wrong with that person?" Upon returning to the black market, Yin Yi asked in a deep voice. He knew that Wu Aoyu, as a half-saint level expert, would never make baseless accusations.
Wu Aoyu was silent for a moment, then said, "These are special times. There are only five years left until the start of the Yantian Conference. Many sects from the universe have come to Tianxing."
"However, according to the intelligence held by the black market, there is no such sect as Qiankun Sect at all, and this person seems to have appeared out of nowhere, with no information about his past found."
"The higher-ups suspect that this Hades might be targeting you, and that it is highly likely that he is a saint pretending to be weak while actually being strong."
Yin Yi's expression changed, and he said, "Impossible. That person's bone age looks like he's only a little over a hundred years old. How could he be a saint? The black market's information must be wrong."
Wu Aoyu shook his head and said, "I didn't believe it at first either, but when I faced this person just now, I instinctively sensed a sense of danger."
"You should know that my cultivation is only half a step away from becoming a saint. The only people I can think of besides saints can make me feel dangerous."
Yin Yi said, "This person challenged me as soon as he appeared. It seems he came for me. Could he be my enemy from my previous life? Impossible. It's been thousands of years. They should all be dead by now."
Wu Aoyu glanced at Yin Yi and said, "No matter what, you must not leave the black market before the Yantian Conference begins. I'm afraid this person is really after you."
Yin Yi nodded reluctantly, but it was fine. He would take advantage of these last five years to try to raise his cultivation level to the next level. He was also very curious about who those nine Martial Ancestors were.
It might be an old acquaintance of his.
The Underworld King of the Qiankun Sect challenged Yin Yi of the Black Market, but Yin Yi fled without a fight and hid in the Black Market.
This message went viral immediately, and everyone in Tianxing was discussing it. They didn't know who Hades was, but the people of Yinyi Tianxing were very familiar with him.
Immediately after this incident, Hades visited the Heavenly Mystery Sect again, wanting to challenge Wu Guangtai, but was still turned away and did not even set foot on Heavenly Mystery Mountain.
Hades was not angry. He walked down Tianji Mountain and headed straight for the Four Symbols Sect. When he arrived outside the Four Symbols Sect, all the disciples of the sect were on high alert.
"Please don't be nervous, everyone. I've come here simply to catch a glimpse of Miss Meng Luoxin's unparalleled beauty and, by the way, to invite her to share a drink."
Hades' voice did not come from his mouth, but resounded in the minds of all the disciples. To achieve this, one's mental strength must be extremely powerful.
Many disciples with low cultivation levels were even knocked to the ground and fainted by the sound. This was a show of force. The Four Symbols Sect didn't even have a single elder showing up, so the Underworld King used these young disciples to give them a warning.
"Arrogant! How dare you run wild in the Four Symbols Sect!"
With a loud shout, Luo Longbin rushed out of the sect, using his powerful internal energy to dispel the voice of the Underworld King from the minds of the many disciples.
The sound transformed into a wave of sound, rushing towards Hades.
