"Not bad. You can still recognize my voice," Lord Four said with a smile.
"I never expected the famous Lord Four who has many friends to be the Federation's devil, Jing Daoxian." Zhou Wen warily stared at him and sized him up. He increasingly felt that this person was Jing Daoxian. He had a special bearing that no one else could emulate.
"No one would have expected that the famous Thief King, who suppresses the Holy Spirit Association and the League of Defender and is currently wanted by both the underworld and the underworld, would actually be you, Zhou Wen," Lord Four said, mimicking Zhou Wen's tone.
Zhou Wen knew that his identity had long been seen through by Jing Daoxian. He was wearing the Dragon King armor, and even changing his voice was useless. He had no idea how Jing Daoxian had recognized him.
"How did you know it was me?" Zhou Wen asked.
"You have changed very successfully. Your bearing, figure, voice, and even your personality seem to have changed. Others naturally can't recognize you, but I'm different. The only people who haven't gone mad or died after obtaining the Lost Immortal Sutra are the two of us. Back then, I used some means to transfer the Lost Immortal Sutra to you. Although I didn't master it, I still know a little about it. That's how I was able to find some clues from you. " Lord Four paused before saying, "Just call me Lord Four. It's not suitable for Jing Daoxian to appear at the moment."
"You know how to be afraid?" Zhou Wen was somewhat curious. He didn't know who a devil like Jing Daoxian would be afraid of.
"It's not that I'm afraid, but it's not suitable." Lord Four explained very patiently, "Back when I met you, I was severely injured and nearly died. That was why the bureau caught up to me. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for you to meet me. Speaking of that injury, a large part of the reason was because of the Lost Immortal Sutra.
"In this life, I have to accomplish anything I want to do. However, there are two things I failed to do. One was losing to that hypocrite, and the second was failing to master the Lost Immortal Sutra. "
"Hypocrite?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback.
"The Hero King of the Zhang family you mentioned," Lord Four said.
Zhou Wen immediately understood that the loss to the Hero King Jing Daoxian was probably referring to the number one beauty in the Federation.
Lord Fourth Duke continued. "Back then, everyone who came into contact with the Lost Immortal Sutra was either crazy or a fool, but I refuse to believe it. I insist on mastering what others can't. It's only fun for me to do what others can't. I originally believed that it was only an Essence Energy Art. Even if it was meant for an Immortal Emperor or Buddhist Lord to cultivate, I would still be able to find a way to make it mine. "
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to tame it in the end. I almost lost my life in the Holy Land because of it," Lord Four said with a sigh.
"You entered the Holy Land back then? How did you get in? Didn't they say that only low-level humans could enter the Holy Land? " Zhou Wen had always wanted to enter the Holy Land to take a look because it was very likely that the former principal was in one of the Holy Temples. However, he had never found a way to enter the Holy Land.
"As long as I want to go, there will naturally be a way." Lord Fourth Duke said with a smile, "However, it's best you don't go. Even if you have the power to suppress the League of Defender and the Holy Spirit Society, you still won't be able to leave that place."
"What's in there? What's going on with the six Holy Temples? " Zhou Wen had never figured out the relationship between the six Holy Temples and the dimension. All he knew was that it seemed to be the contact point of the dimension on Earth, similar to the monasteries and temples in the human world.
"Do you know the term 'concession'?" Lord Fourth Duke didn't answer as he asked.
"I've heard of it. It's a rather ancient term. It seems to be an office rented by a country in another country." Zhou Wen thought for a while before recalling what the term meant. Back when he was studying history, it had been mentioned in books, but it had only been a few sentences.
"The Holy Land is equivalent to the dimension's concession on Earth. Everything there isn't restricted by Earth's laws. Dimensional creatures can descend freely. Even Calamity-grade or even apocalypse-grade creatures can reach there and showcase their might. You've been there in the past. Thankfully, you weren't qualified to let them take a look at you back then, so you were able to return alive. If you go again now, such a good thing won't happen, "Lord Fourth Duke said.
Zhou Wen was immediately alarmed. If that was the case, he was lucky to have returned alive back then.
"If you can return alive, why can't I?" Zhou Wen wasn't convinced verbally. He wanted to know more details from Jing Daoxian.
Lord Fourth Duke looked at Zhou Wen teasingly and said, "I can return alive because I can steel my heart. I'm just afraid you won't be able to steel your heart when the time comes."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen looked at him in puzzlement.
"If you really go in the future, you will naturally know." Lord Fourth Duke clearly wasn't willing to talk about the Holy Land. It was likely that he had done something unspeakable there.
Zhou Wen thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out what it was that he could steel his heart to do.
"Don't tell me you came here just to talk to me about this? What do you want? "Zhou Wen asked.
"Didn't I get Liu Yun to tell you long ago? I want you to help me leave my name on the rankings," Lord Fourth Duke said.
"Why didn't you go yourself?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I don't have the ability to do so," Lord Fourth Duke said.
His words were a little awkward, but Zhou Wen still understood. What he meant was that with Lord Fourth Duke's status, he probably didn't have the ability to do so. If he really did it, others would definitely suspect him.
"Did you really make a bet with someone?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Yes." Lord Fourth Duke nodded.
"What did you bet?" Zhou Wen asked again.
"Within three months, someone has to enter the rankings. Otherwise, I'll kowtow and admit my mistake," Lord Fourth Duke said casually.
"Who did you bet with?" Zhou Wen had always heard from Liu Yun that Lord Fourth Duke had made a bet with someone, but he had no idea who he had bet with.
Zhou Wen wasn't very curious in the past, but now that he knew that Lord Fourth Duke was Jing Daoxian, he was somewhat curious.
Jing Daoxian definitely wouldn't do useless things. He definitely had a plan for making a bet with someone. Therefore, if he knew who he was betting with, he might be able to figure out what he was up to.
"The person who bet with me. I heard you call him Teacher," Lord Fourth Duke said to Zhou Wen with a faint smile.
"Who are you talking about?" Zhou Wen widened his eyes as he looked at Lord Fourth Duke. His eyes were about to pop out as his face was filled with disbelief.
He naturally knew who Jing Daoxian was talking about, but he couldn't believe it.
