2154 The Upper Province is Shocked!
“If I’m not mistaken, not only did your Black Kshetra Sect’s Green Bat King died in there, but even Sin City’s Meng Hao died in there!” Pei Si Hai said in a low voice.
“Meng Hao?” The Violet Dragon King’s eyes widened involuntarily when she heard Pei Si Hai’s words. She realized her speculation had been right. Similar to Wei Suo, something had also happened to Meng Hao!
At the same time, many sectless cultivators were shocked when they heard this. “Meng Hao? Lord Meng Hao also died?”
Stern-faced scholar Meng Hao was well-known in Sin City. He was also one of the patrons of Sin City. His cultivation base was at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage! Moreover, Meng Hao’s rank on the Supreme Saint Ranking was even higher than the Green Bat King from Black Kshetra Sect. Meng Hao was ranked 21st on the Supreme Saint Ranking. How could everyone not be shocked by Meng Hao’s death?
“So you came for Meng Hao. It seems like you’re close to Meng Hao. My condolences…” The Violet Dragon King sighed as she consoled Pei Si Hai.
Pei Si Hai shook his head. “I merely know of Meng Hao’s existence, I don’t know him personally.”
Pei Si Hai’s words confused the Violet Dragon King and everyone present on the scene.
If Pei Si Hai did not know Meng Hao personally, why did he ask about Meng Hao’s whereabouts as soon as he arrived?
“I came to find Meng Hao because of my senior brother. Due to Meng Hao, he has probably entered this s.p.a.ce as well!” Pei Si Hai said in a deep voice as he answered the question. He looked at the opening he had created in the s.p.a.ce barrier.
As soon as Pei Si Hai finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.
The person whom Pei Si Hai addressed as his senior brother… was another disciple of Nie Wu Tian, the current strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land?
Pei Si Hai was not the only disciple of Nie Wu Tian? Otherwise, why would he refer to someone as his senior brother?
Naturally, there were also people who thought the senior brother Pei Si Hai had mentioned might not be related to Nie Wu Tian. That senior brother of his might be from a sect he had joined or a disciple of another master.
People began to whisper among themselves.
“My senior brother is also a disciple of my master, Nie Wu Tian!” Pei Si Hai said, dispelling the doubts from those people who did not think his senior brother was also a disciple of Nie Wu Tian. With his words, he confirmed that the senior brother he mentioned was also a direct disciple of Nie Wu Tian, the current strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
When Pei Si Hai’s senior brother was alive, he did not want to shame his master so he did not announce that he was a disciple of his master. Now that he had died, Pei Si Hai wanted everyone to know the ident.i.ty of his senior brother.
“Apart from Lord Pei Si Hai, Senior Nie Wu Tian has other direct disciples?”
“I have never heard that Senior Nie Wu Tian has another disciple!”
“Someone whom Nie Wu Tian accepted as a direct disciple must have a high innate talent!”
A commotion broke out again after Pei Si Hai spoke. Their topic had changed again. Many people were curious about Pei Si Hai’s senior brother.
When everyone, including the Violet Dragon King, was wondering who Pei Si Hai’s senior brother was, Pei Si Hai announced, “My senior brother is Sin City’s Bai Li!”
Everyone fell silent again.
Bai Li!
Most people present on the scene were familiar with this name!
Bai Li was one of the strongest patrons in Sin City that they know. His cultivation base was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, and he was ranked ninth on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was even stronger than the Violet Dragon King, the leader of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas, who was ranked tenth on the Supreme Saint Ranking!
After the Violet Dragon King recovered from her shock, she could not help but cried out, “Your senior brother… is Bai Li?”
Everyone was in a similar state. They were in disbelief and shock.
Compared to Pei Si Hai, Bai Li had always appeared in public. He was a famous sectless cultivator in the Dao Martial Saint Land for a very long time now. However, prior to today, no one knew he was also a direct disciple of Nie Wu Tian, the strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
It was shocking news for everyone.
Upon hearing the Violet Dragon King’s words, Pei Si Hai nodded and said faintly, “Yes. Senior brother always felt that he did not live up to our master’s name so he never announced his relations.h.i.+p to our master!”
The Violet Dragon King muttered to herself, “I didn’t expect Bai Li was also Senior Nie Wu Tian’s direct disciple!”
After a while, the Violet Dragon King seemed to have thought of something as her expression changed slightly. “You… You came to look for your Senior Brother Bai Li, could… could it be… because…”
“En. His Soul Pearl is with me and it shattered not too long ago.” Pei Si Hai seemed to know what the Violet Dragon King was trying to say so he nodded and said, “I suspect that he died in there as well!”
Although Pei Si Hai seemed calm when he spoke, there was sadness in the depths of his eyes.
The moment Pei Si Hai finished speaking, everyone was stunned as though a bolt of lightning had struck them suddenly on a sunny day.
Bai Li, the powerhouse who was ranked ninth on the Supreme Saint Ranking, a rare powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, had died in the trap that was left behind by three Eminent Celestials?
This was undoubtedly a serious matter for those who were present and for everyone in the Dao Martial Saint Land!
After all, this matter concerned the death of a powerhouse in the top ten of the Supreme Saint Ranking!
After a while, news of this began to spread.
When word of this reached Sin City, it caused a big commotion.
Apart from the Bai Li, one of Sin City’s patrons, Meng Hao, and one of the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas, the Green Bat King, had died as well.
Subsequently, more shocking news arrived in Sin City.
The Seven Kill Alliance, the Thousand Years Alliance, and the Eternal Alliance, the three strongest alliances in Sin City, had announced their disbandment.
Not only did the three strongest alliances announced their disbandment, but even those alliances that were slightly weaker like the Mighty Tyrannical Alliance, the Hundred Ghost Alliance had also announced their disbandment.
The reason for all this was due to the deaths of the backbones of all these alliances!
Bai Li, Meng Hao, Wei Suo, and all these people had died!
“I heard that the direct disciple of the strongest person in the Dao Martial Saint Land, Pei Si Hai, had personally investigated this matter… All these people had died in the trap left behind by three Eminent Celestials!”
“Moreover, I heard when Lord Pei Si Hai entered that s.p.a.ce, he almost lost his life. Luckily, he had the Boundless Bell given to him by Senior Nie Wu Tian. That’s how he managed to narrowly escape death. However, he had to pay a heavy price since he lost an arm.”
“The Boundless Bell? Why does it sound familiar? Oh, right! There’s a defensive Super Saint Weapon called the Boundless Bell in the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking. Could it be…”
“If it wasn’t for the Super Saint Weapon, do you think Lord Pei Si Hai could survive a trap set up by three Eminent Celestials?”
“Lord Bai Li was actually Lord Pei Si Hai’s senior brother… This means Lord Bai Li was accepted by Senior Nie Wu Tian before Lord Pei Si Hai was accepted!”
“I never knew… Lord Bai Li really kept a low profile!”
Similar discussions could be heard all over Sin City.
As these shocking news spread from Sin City, more and more people learned about what had happened.
Based on the speed the news was spreading, it would not take long before the entire Dao Martial Saint Land found out about it! To be more precise, it would not be long before the entire Upper Province found out about it.
Soon after, a few shocking news spread again.
Apart from Bai Li and Meng Hao, another four patrons from Sin City had died as well. Their respective children discovered this when their Soul Pearls shattered.
“One of our powerhouses at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and five of our powerhouses at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage died?”
When the sectless cultivators heard this, they could not accept the news.
There were not more than ten powerhouses who vowed to guard Sin City. Currently, six of them had died! Moreover, one of them was a powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!
“According to the time when the Soul Pearls of these powerhouses shattered… All of them had died at almost the same time. It’s very likely they died in the trap that the three Eminent Celestial had set up.”
Many people speculated.
“What are those Eminent Celestials trying to do? Spending so much time and effort to create a realm, they didn’t even leave anything useful behind. Instead, they set up a trap to harm us!”
No one could understand the motive of those three Eminent Celestials.
As the shocking news spread throughout the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, it shocked everyone to their cores.
Regardless of how chaotic it was in the outside world, Duan Ling Tian was still in the dark about it. He was still stuck in the trap left behind by the three Eminent Devils!
