"So the esteemed guest of the Black Tortoise Tribe is the current First Sage, Cheng Hou. We meet again!" Zhong Shan shouted to the void.
Cheng Hou?
The moment Zhong Shan called out this name, almost everyone's expression changed.
Youshan, Youshui, Youquan, and Youlan immediately guarded Zhong Shan. Sage, the First Sage! He had been hiding around?
Xuan Tianzong and Gui Shenwu's expressions also changed slightly. However, they were not too unhappy, as if they already knew that Cheng Hou was coming.
Whoosh!
The space in front of Xuan Tianzong shook slightly, and a figure in purple robes appeared.
It was indeed Cheng Hou.
After Cheng Hou appeared, he did not look at Zhong Shan. Instead, he looked at Xuan Tianzong.
"Xuan Tianzong, I'll have to trouble you again this time!" Cheng Hou said politely.
"It's nothing!" Xuan Tianzong immediately said politely.
However, Zhong Shan looked suspicious. Was Cheng Hou being polite to Xuan Tianzong?
After Cheng Hou greeted Xuan Tianzong briefly, he immediately turned to look at Zhong Shan.
"Chung Holy King! Good move! "Cheng Hou said lightly.
Good move. Naturally, he had discovered Cheng Hou. No one else had discovered him, not even Ziyang Jinghong, who was the Life Usurper. However, Zhong Shan had discovered him. Cheng Hou paid more attention to Zhong Shan.
"The First Sage has been here for a while, right?" Zhong Shan asked lightly.
Cheng Hou looked at Zhong Shan and shook his head. "Doesn't Chung Holy King have something important to do? Why hasn't he left? "
Zhong Shan's expression changed slightly.
Xuan Tianzong also revealed a look of surprise and then became anxious. Cheng Hou wanted to let them go? Why? A large group of experts from the Black Tortoise Tribe would be here soon. With you, the First Sage, would Zhong Shan be able to escape?
Zhong Shan pondered for a moment and could not guess what Cheng Hou was thinking. In the end, he nodded and said, "Then I'll take my leave!"
Cheng Hou nodded.
Zhong Shan turned around and flew north while keeping his guard up against Cheng Hou.
When he flew past Cheng Hou, Cheng Hou was really indifferent, as if he had completely forgotten about the East Continent.
After Zhong Shan left, Xuan Tianzong immediately asked, "Marquis Cheng, you sent me a voice transmission just now. Why did you let them go?"
Cheng Hou looked at Zhong Shan's back in the distance and said indifferently, "Xuan Tianzong, don't you want that Gu Xian Turtle and Snake?"
"Yes!" Xuan Tianzong said.
"Don't worry, they can't run!" Cheng Hou said coolly.
"Can't run? What do you mean? "Xuan Tianzong did not understand.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" …
Gusts of wind blew over as the Black Tortoise Race's experts received the news and quickly rushed over.
"What's the matter, Supreme Martial Artist?" Everyone immediately asked.
Looking at the dozen or so Zu Xian, Xuan Tianzong's face darkened and said, "You're only here now. Everyone's gone!"
The Zu Xian Black Tortoise Race's faces changed slightly. They had rushed over as soon as they received the news. Some of them had even left everything behind to help Supreme Martial Artist at a critical moment in their cultivation. How could they be blamed in the end?
The Black Tortoise Race's experts felt uncomfortable, but Xuan Tianzong was Supreme Martial Artist after all. The rules of the race could not be broken, so they could only suppress the anger in their hearts.
"Don't worry, Xuan Tianzong. They'll be back!" Cheng Hou said.
Cheng Hou spoke to Xuan Tianzong in an equal tone. He did not have the attitude of a saint at all. It was as if he believed that Xuan Tianzong had the qualifications to be on equal footing with him.
If Zhong Shan was here, he would definitely be surprised. What was so special about Xuan Tianzong?
"Back? What do you mean? "Xuan Tianzong asked.
"The last time you sent me a message, you said that the Ice God Palace's sacrifice person has been decided? She's called Sorrowful Green Silk? "Cheng Hou asked.
"That's right. It's already been decided. Now, even the Crystal Race has given her the Divine Escape Pill!" Xuan Tianzong nodded. At the same time, he was very puzzled by Cheng Hou's words.
"That's right!" Cheng Hou said.
"Oh?"
"Zhong Shan might have come to the North Continent this time for Sorrowful Green Silk!" Cheng Hou said.
"Sorrowful Green Silk?"
"Don't you know? Sorrowful Green Silk is Zhong Shan's Empress? "Cheng Hou was slightly surprised.
However, Xuan Tianzong's information was not as comprehensive as Cheng Hou's. Moreover, Sorrowful Green Silk did not say anything.
"So it's her? Zhong Shan wants to save Sorrowful Green Silk. Clearly, he wants to go against the Palace Master of the Ice God Palace. This time, only the Palace Master and Sorrowful Green Silk are qualified to sacrifice. How can the Palace Master let Zhong Shan have his way? The sacrifice will proceed as scheduled. With Sorrowful Green Silk here, Zhong Shan will definitely come! "Xuan Tianzong's face lit up.
Cheng Hou nodded and did not say anything else.
"Cheng Hou, I must get the Tortoise Serpent. When the time comes, I will need your help!" Xuan Tianzong said directly.
"Alright!" Cheng Hou did not avoid it.
"In this way, Zhong Shan will no longer have an advantage. I thank you!" Xuan Tianzong immediately said.
"Xuan Tianzong, you don't have to do this. All these years, the Black Tortoise Tribe has contributed so much to the Great Thousand World. No matter what, we will do our best to help!" Cheng Hou immediately said.
"This is what we should do!" Xuan Tianzong also became polite.
"Let's go. I'd better go in early and try my best to return before the Sacrificial Ceremony starts. I will face Zhong Shan with you!" Cheng Hou said.
"Alright!"
On a mountain peak in the Far North.
Zhong Shan and his group waited patiently. Soon, the Golden Roc flew over from afar.
"Holy King!" The Golden Roc shouted.
"How's the investigation? Why did Cheng Hou go to the Black Tortoise Tribe? "Zhong Shan asked in a deep voice.
"I caught a few Black Tortoises and finally got accurate information. Holy King, do you still remember the four pillars we saw?" The Golden Roc said.
"Yes!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"The top is connected to the entrance of the Heavenly Demon Realm, and Cheng Hou flew in not long ago!" The Golden Roc said with a strange tone.
"Cheng Hou entered the Heavenly Demon Realm?" Huan Ji was surprised.
"Yes, but no one knows what he went in for. Cheng Hou is also strange. Such a proud person is very polite to Xuan Tianzong in the Black Tortoise Tribe!" The Golden Roc said.
Zhong Shan pondered for a moment. Everything was strange. Cheng Hou entered the Heavenly Demon Realm?
Cheng Hou entering the Heavenly Demon Realm was one thing, but the attitude of the Black Tortoise Tribe was another. Why could Zu Xian become a Sovereign Being when he was at the Eighth Heaven?
"Did you find out how Xuan Tianzong became a Sovereign Being?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Yes, but it's strange. Back then, he was chosen by all the Black Tortoise Tribe. After he was chosen, the entire Black Tortoise Tribe recognized him. As for why he was chosen, other than Zu Xian, no one knows!" The Golden Roc shook his head.
"All? It shouldn't be? "The Turtle Serpent couldn't understand.
The Black Tortoise Tribe attached great importance to bloodlines. Xuan Tianzong wasn't the strongest, and his bloodline wasn't pure enough. How could he become a Sovereign Being?
"We'll deal with these things later. Let's go to the Ice God Palace first!" Zhong Shan said.
"Yes!" The Turtle Serpent nodded.
"Have you found out the location of the Ice God Palace?" Zhong Shan asked the Golden Roc.
"Yes, it should take less than five days. I'll lead the way!" The Golden Roc said immediately.
"Good!"
In the Ice God Palace.
The construction of the Ice God Palace was very strange. There were many palaces, but the one in the center wasn't the main palace. It was a palace called the Mortal Life Palace.
Mortal Life Palace. No one knew who wrote these three words, but just looking at it gave one a feeling of pity for the people.
The Mortal Life Palace was heavily guarded, and no one dared to approach.
At this moment, the Ice God Palace Master stood in front of the Mortal Life Palace with Sorrowful Black Hair.
"You've already eaten the Soul Shedding Pill, and you've been chosen as the next sacrifice. Your status in the Ice God Palace is equal to mine. There are some things that I should show you," the Ice God Palace Master said.
Sorrowful Black Hair's face was very cold, and her expression was slightly empty.
"Mortal Life Palace. For the next half a year, you'll be the Master of the Mortal Life Palace. Let's go, I'll show you!"
Boom!
The Ice God Palace Master gently opened the palace.
As soon as the Mortal Life Palace opened, an extremely cold aura gushed out. But to the two of them, this cold was nothing.
There was light inside the palace, and the ground was as white as ice crystals. There was a huge pool in the center of the palace. Gloomy energy filled the pool, but it couldn't fly out of the pool.
Around the pure white pool, there were eighty women sitting cross-legged.
Their faces and bodies were snow-white, and they were all beautiful. Unfortunately, Sorrowful Black Hair found that there wasn't a single living person here. They were all dead.
Eighty corpses?
Sorrowful Black Hair didn't look at the corpses. Instead, she looked at the center of the pool. Large amounts of gloomy energy rose from the center of the pool. There were red, blue, black, yellow, and all sorts of colors, but they weren't bright enough. But this wasn't much. The main thing was that there were many small statues rising from the pool.
Statues?
Sorrowful Black Hair's empty eyes lit up. There were eighteen small statues in total, and they seemed to be absorbing the gloomy energy in the pool. Sorrowful Black Hair had seen these eighteen statues before.
"Root of all evil?" Sorrowful Black Hair said in shock.
Root of all evil, beautiful statues. Wasn't this the statue that displayed the Daikon State's Hundred World Grotto-Heaven? Of course, Sorrowful Black Hair didn't know that the Daikon State slowly gave birth to Huan Ji because of that root of all evil.
But here, there were eighteen of them? The eighteen roots of all evil floated in the pool like bottomless pits, absorbing the gloomy energy rising from the pool.
The Ice God Palace Master didn't introduce the ten or so roots of all evil. Instead, she brought Sorrowful Black Hair before the eighty corpses.
Looking at the eighty corpses, the Ice God Palace Master said, "Although these eighty people aren't famous in the world, they're all martyrs for the world. They should be respected by everyone in the great thousand world. They're even nobler than the so-called saints! "
"If I eat the Soul Shedding Pill and my soul leaves my body, will I become like this too?" Sorrowful Black Hair asked in a low voice.
The Ice God Palace Master looked at Sorrowful Black Hair and sighed, "The Sacrifice Palace only needs the soul. Therefore, the Soul Shedding Pill will separate your soul from your body. Your soul will be sacrificed, and your body will be brought back by me. You'll be listed with these eighty martyrs. The Palace of Mortal Life, for the sake of all living beings in the world, even if a saint were to come here, he would still have to show respect to you! "
Sorrowful Black Hair bit her lips and said, "I don't want the respect of saints, and I don't want to be listed with them!"
"Black Hair, you've already eaten the Soul Shedding Pill. There's no turning back!" The Ice God Palace Master thought that Sorrowful Black Hair was going back on her words.
"No, I'll sacrifice my soul. It's just that my body doesn't want to be with them."
"You don't want to be here?"
"Sorrowful Black Hair begs the Palace Master to send my body to the Daikon State Holy Palace after the Sacrifice Palace," Sorrowful Black Hair said with deep longing in her eyes.
