Three days later.
Xia Ping didn't act rashly in the beginning after entering Huai Ning City's branch palace. Instead, he took this opportunity to learn about the big and small affairs of Huai Ning City's Soul Palace, as well as various taboos.
This was because Xia Ping had gone crazy and beaten up Chang Chi, shocking everyone. Moreover, after beating up Chang Chi, Chang Chi hadn't taken any action to retaliate. This was even more shocking.
Therefore, his authority as a Hall Master reached an unprecedented height. No one dared to question him. Regarding these questions, they only thought that Xia Ping was trying to knock them down a peg.
Therefore, no matter what Xia Ping asked, they would answer without hiding anything.
"You may begin."
After understanding the situation, Xia Ping took the teleportation formation in Huai Ning City and used his authority as the Hall Master to head to other super cities to distribute the flyers.
He didn't need to do it himself. He gave the golden slime an order, and then it split into thousands of pieces. They carried the leaflets and entered the streets and alleys of the city in the darkness, letting countless people know of this news.
As the Golden Slimes were extremely fast and could change their form and color, they could be in a state of invisibility. No one knew who spread the news.
The next morning, almost everyone on the streets and alleys knew the news.
"Have you heard? Actually, Blood Soul Saint isn't dead yet. He's just sealed up. Now, we only need a hundred soul stones to free him. When that time comes, we'll be rich and can become Soul Palace Lord. "
Someone shouted with the leaflet in his hand.
"Bullsh * t! I don't even know where you got this news from. How can you believe such words? Do you really think I'm stupid? "
"That's right. Even if Saint Blood Soul didn't die, why would he use such a stupid method to escape? Do you really think Saints are something?"
"Saint Blood Soul was able to break free with just a hundred soul stones. Saint Blood Soul's seal really isn't worth that much. This must be some mischievous young master of some aristocratic family spreading this kind of third-rate news."
"Those who believe in such things are called fools."
"Even if you want to deceive people, you should at least be a little more skilled at deceit. You can't just tell a lie that can be easily seen through."
"This is really the biggest joke of the year."
Many people in the city knew about this news, but most of them scoffed at it. They didn't believe any of the words on the flyer and treated it as a joke.
Putting aside whether the Blood Soul Saint was truly dead or not, just the fact that he was still alive and was sealed in some valley meant that he could be freed with just a hundred soul stones? Was this a joke?
Just how powerful was the power that sealed the Blood Soul Saint? How could a mere hundred soul stones be enough to break the seal?!
But time passed day by day. Ten days. Twenty days. Finally, a month had passed.
Not only this city, but 108 super cities across the entire Blood Soul Continent were spreading the news that the Blood Soul Saint was sealed in a valley near Huaining City.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. Sometimes, when rumors are spread too much, they will become true.
"What's going on? This rumor is spreading like wildfire. It seems like the entire Blood Soul Continent knows about it. Could it be that the Blood Soul Saint is not dead, but has been sealed away? "
"That's impossible. Even if the Blood Soul Saint is not dead and is sealed away, how could the location of his seal be leaked so easily?"
"The problem is, the news is spreading like wildfire, as if it is true. We have no choice but to believe it. It's not groundless."
"Indeed. Let's look at it from a different angle. At first glance, it might seem like a joke, but what if it's true? If it's true, we'll be rich. We'll be able to save Saint Blood Soul with just a hundred soul stones. By then, we will be the benefactors of the Blood Soul Saint. Wouldn't we be able to ascend to the heavens in one step? The leader of the Hall of Souls would be nothing. "
"Yeah, anyway, the flyer said the location of the Blood Soul Saint's seal. Can't we just go check it out? If we go there and find out that it's fake, we won't be at a disadvantage when we come back. If it is true, we will be rich. "
Even if a portion of people did not believe it, a few people out of ten thousand believed it. That was enough. They were hoping for a fluke. What if it was true?
Moreover, they were only going to check the location of the seal. If it was fake, they would not hand over the soul stones. No matter how they looked at it, they would not be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, a small portion of people decided to check the valley near Huaining City to see if the information on the flyer was true.
Even if this portion of people was extremely small in the population of the Blood Soul Continent, less than one in a hundred thousand, it was not a small portion when the population exceeded tens of trillions.
… …
The news had undoubtedly spread to the Hall of Souls and was immediately known by the higher-ups of the Hall of Souls.
"What is going on? Why is this rumor spreading like wildfire? It's also said that the Blood Soul Saint is not dead and is sealed in the valley. Who did it? Did they find the culprit who spread the rumor?! "
The palace master of the Hall of Souls, Chang Shisheng, was very angry. He was already very annoyed to find the culprit who killed his son. Now that such a big thing had happened, he even wanted to kill someone.
"I'm sorry, sir palace master. We spent all our efforts to find the culprit. We only know that the news spread overnight. However, we have no idea where the rumor originated from."
The group of subordinates was extremely ashamed. As the largest force in the Blood Soul Continent, they had the responsibility to monitor the world. However, they could not find the source of the rumor. This was a considerable degree of negligence.
Even if they were fired on the spot by the palace master, they could not do anything.
However, the opponent was too mysterious. No one knew when the flyer that spread the rumor appeared or where it came from. Everyone only remembered that a strong wind blew and the flyer appeared. They did not even see the shadow of the person.
"Trash, all a bunch of trash."
Chang Shisheng was furious.
"Sir palace master, in fact, we don't need to worry."
An elder said in a deep voice, "No matter what the culprit is thinking, his goal is probably to lead us to the valley near Huai Ning City."
"Why don't we beat them at their own game and follow the intentions of the mastermind? Let's go and investigate and see what exactly that mysterious force is up to."
"Moreover, the death of the palace master's son seems to be near Huai Ning City. Is there any unknown secret in it? I think we can carefully explore it."
What?!
The eyes of the palace master of the Hall of Souls, Chang Shisheng, revealed a trace of coldness, "You're right. Immediately send someone to check that valley. I want to see who dares to cause such trouble."
