So Resolute... So Utterly Without Looking Back...
At this moment, Chu Xinghe realized that something terrible had happened...
It couldn't be any bigger...
With this Formation-Locking Jade activated, it's no longer just a matter of four thousand disciples... They can't even protect those at the Dead Spirit Realm?
The many powerful figures of Vast Heaven Holy Land were unaware of what Xinghe was thinking at this moment, but Holy Lord Gu Mingchao seemed to be saying, "Watch Quietly as Things Change You'll see. I told you to wait and see what happens back in the Dead Spirit Realm..."
In response, the Grand Elder said, "That so-called Holy Lord, is it possible that you weren't even present at the time?"
In response, the Holy Lord said, "Elder, although I am not present, I know everything!"
Upon hearing the Holy Lord's words, the Grand Elder asked, "Is that so? Since the Holy Lord is omniscient, does the Holy Lord know why Martial Emperor City has recently been targeting our various industries from multiple angles?"
Although there were no problems with the cooperation, they would occasionally make things difficult for us. Cheng Xiaotian even demanded that the Holy Lord pay back the money!
Lord Holy Lord, what exactly did you do in Martial Emperor City that day to make Cheng Xiaotian demand repayment?
What exactly is the problem between you two?
Gu Mingchao replied, "What problems could we possibly have? We just had a few drinks and then went to sleep... That old geezer Cheng Xiaotian is probably drunk and confused..."
Um... I suddenly had an inspiration and need to start writing. You guys chat... you guys chat...
After speaking, the Holy Lord vanished in a flash... so resolute... so unwavering...
Just as the Holy Lord left, news came again from the Bear Clan!
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, another array -Formation-Locking Jade has flown in!"
Goodness, upon hearing this news, everyone knows that their earlier guesses were absolutely correct!
As expected, Xinghe made his move...
This Xinghe technique was hidden far too deeply, so deeply that Elder He said he never expected it!
Look at the design of this Xinghe series, it's simply unbeatable...
It turns out that Xinghe already knew how the Formation-Locking Jade was created. No wonder we all frowned when we heard the news about the Dead Spirit Realm, even the Earth Sha Evil Lord who possessed the Dead Spirit Realm was frowning.
But if you think back carefully, what was Xinghe's expression at that time?
That's right! It's excitement!
It was extreme excitement!
Under what circumstances would a person become excited?
They must have known beforehand that the Shadow Ghosts in the Dead Spirit Realm would be incredibly profitable to be so excited!
But Elder He admired most was that Xinghe, despite being extremely excited, remained completely calm...
Why did Xinghe suddenly throw out 40 million spirit stones without warning?
There's a reason why all the escaped Shadow Ghosts were captured and replaced with Formation-Locking Jade!
Everyone thought that Xinghe throwing away 40 million spirit stones was pure nonsense.
Isn't that a pure loss?
But what are forty million spirit stones compared to all the Shadow Ghosts that escaped?
There were at least several thousand Shadow Ghosts who escaped, which means that the Vast Heaven Holy Land will gain at least several thousand Formation-Locking Jade!
Elder He said that none of us are considered to be at the Dead Spirit Realm, so let's talk about what several thousand complete Formation-Locking Jade represents.
Can the value of several thousand complete Formation-Locking Jade be compared to forty million spirit stones?
Let alone forty million, a complete Formation-Locking Jade would fetch millions of dollars right now, and there would definitely be powerful array masters willing to buy it!
What the hell? You'd have to be a fool to buy something this expensive?
First of all, do top-tier formation masters lack money? A few million spirit stones could buy countless lives, but they couldn't buy the life of a top-tier formation master!
While the Formation-Locking Jade is just a stone in your hands, it is many lives in the hands of a top-level array master!
Everyone in this world has enemies. Even top-tier array masters can't be without foes!
As a top-tier formation master, you can hide inside a formation, and the enemy certainly can't do anything to you. But a top-tier formation master can't stay in their formation forever!
As we all know, even top-tier formation masters can be killed in a short time if they leave their formations and encounter a sudden battle.
After all, your opponent won't even give you time to set up your formation, how are you supposed to play?
However, things were completely different when this top-tier formation master possessed the Formation-Locking Jade.
He can imprint his strongest life-saving and killing formations into the Formation-Locking Jade in advance. Then, no matter what danger he encounters, as long as he has a moment's chance, he can throw out the Formation-Locking Jade to open the formation!
Once the formation is activated, the formation master can survive.
Therefore, for a top-tier array master, this Formation-Locking Jade is like having many lives!
Unless it's an absolute level advantage, no one of the same level would be willing to ambush a formation master who possesses Formation-Locking Jade.
Because when you get close and think the other person is the prey, you'll find that the real prey has always been you!
So what if it's a few million? A few million might take a top-tier formation master a long time to earn, but don't worry, if given the chance, this top-tier formation master would definitely not hesitate to spend those few million to buy himself a resurrection armor that can be used many times!
So what's wrong with 40 million spirit stones?
Let alone getting thousands of fully- Formation-Locking Jades, even if they only get ten or eight yuan back, Vast Heaven Holy Land can break even with this one!
Of course, the Vast Heaven Holy Land would never sell something like the Formation-Locking Jade!
After all, the Vast Heaven Holy Land has its own Formation Spirit Palace, so it should prioritize arranging things for its own people first!
But no matter what, forty million spirit stones are really nothing compared to the Formation-Locking Jade that just flew in!
Elder He said that there was another reason why Xinghe threw out 40 million spirit stones without warning, which was to completely stun the Earth Sha Evil Lord.
What is the Earth Sha Evil Lord? He's definitely an old monster!
If Xinghe immediately suggests that we're paying to acquire your Dead Spirit Realm, do you think the Earth Sha Evil Lord would suspect a scam?
It's like you have something you think is worth ten dollars, but one day a group of people suddenly appear, one giving you a billion dollars, another giving you even more... In this situation, you would definitely immediately think that the treasure you have is worth far more than a billion dollars!
Under those circumstances, if Xinghe had immediately offered ten million to buy it, even the Earth Sha Evil Lord probably wouldn't have been able to sell!
After all, although the Earth Sha Evil Lord didn't know about the Formation-Locking Jade, he was incredibly Earth Sha Evil Lord!
It's hard to guarantee that nothing unexpected won't happen.
However, Xinghe did not choose to buy directly, but instead spent 40 million first, making himself look like a spendthrift. If you didn't know, you would think that Xinghe simply wanted to consume the sect's resources!
Even the Earth Sha Evil Lord found it absurd in that situation... and even had doubts.
After all, judging from the situation at the time, even if the Earth Sha Evil Lord did not think that Xinghe was trying to deplete the sect, he believed that Xinghe did so purely out of benevolence and righteousness!
In this situation, if someone who spent 40 million just to buy a reputation for benevolence spends another 10 million to buy the Dead Spirit Realm, wouldn't that be even more benevolent and wouldn't arouse any suspicion from the Earth Sha Evil Lord?
Therefore, the Earth Sha Evil Lord sold the Dead Spirit Realm to the Vast Heaven Holy Land without hesitation!
At this moment Elder He realized that he finally understood why Xinghe had insisted on signing the Heavenly Dao Contract!
This is truly the most brilliant move in all of Xinghe's operations!
This move completely eliminated any chance that the Earth Sha Evil Lord would have to retaliate after learning all this!
At that time, the Earth Sha Evil Lord said, "Take it if you want..."
Friend... if you try to take advantage of this situation, you'll definitely end up taking it, right...?
But believe me, if you make that choice now, you'll definitely suffer a huge loss!
If Xinghe took the Dead Spirit Realm for free back then, what do you think the Earth Sha Evil Lord would do once the news broke that Shadow Ghost could produce Formation-Locking Jade?
It's estimated that the Earth Sha Evil Lord is on his way to the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
When that happens, the Earth Sha Evil Lord will declare that the Dead Spirit Realm is Earth Sha Evil Spirits Division. In that case, you really won't be able to argue with him!
Because, given the circumstances at the time, the Dead Spirit Realm was indeed in the territory of the Earth Sha Evil Spirits... so there was nothing wrong with what they said!
Under such circumstances, the Vast Heaven Holy Land should at least share a large portion of the benefits with the Earth Sha Evil Spirits Division!
However, Xinghe's purchase of the Heavenly Dao Contract and ten million spirit stones left the Earth Sha Evil Lord speechless.
Putting aside the question of who the Dead Spirit Realm belonged to before, let's just say, isn't the Dead Spirit Realm now part of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
The Heavenly Dao Contract is written clearly in black and white!
Heavenly Dao bears witness, the Vast Heaven Holy Land hasn't shortchanged you Earth Sha Evil Lord, not a single penny, has it?
You willingly sold the Necromancer's Dead Spirit Realm, didn't you?
You can't back out just because the Dead Spirit Realm has increased in value now, can you?
Besides, do you think the Heavenly Dao Contract is something to be trifled with?
Try asking the Earth Sha Evil Lord to go back on his word. Forget about coming to cause trouble for the Vast Heaven Holy Land; he wouldn't even make it to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. He'd be blasted into dust by the Heavenly Dao on the way!
What? Has the Earth Sha Evil Lord become so powerful that he can disregard the Heavenly Dao Contract?
When did this Half-Step Main God become so powerful?
So Xinghe's extra 40 million plus 10 million, and all his extravagant spending, were all to deceive the Earth Sha Evil Lord, and in the end, he sealed everything off with the Heavenly Dao Contract!
Even though the Earth Sha Evil Lord knows he lost a fortune selling the Dead Spirit Realm, he can't say a word. If he shows the slightest dissatisfaction, the Heavenly Dao Contract will teach him a lesson at any time!
Following Elder He's analysis, everyone nodded vigorously!
Because Elder He's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, everyone carefully recalled what happened, and it was exactly as Elder He had said.
Xinghe has made himself look like a spendthrift, and everyone is saying he's trying to drain the sect's resources...
Xinghe clearly knew everything, but Xinghe remained Watch Quietly as Things Change.
Because this matter is far too significant... so significant that Xinghe is extremely afraid of even the slightest leak!
In this game, Xinghe personally entered the game, causing the Earth Sha Evil Lord to sell the goose that laid golden eggs to Vast Heaven Holy Land for ten million spirit stones!
We don't know exactly how much the Earth Sha Evil Lord lost in this round, but thanks to Xinghe's skillful maneuvering, our Vast Heaven Holy Land made a killing!
Chu Xinghe listened to Elder He's speech, but he had already logged off...
Chu Xinghe thought to himself, "That Elder He... is it possible that I was just a complete spendthrift back then...?"
I just want to lose a fortune...
But at this moment, Chu Xinghe said none of that mattered anymore... because right now, you see me Chu Xinghe, as if I'm still alive, but actually I can't hear, see, or speak anymore!
Some people, you think they're still alive, but they've actually been dead for a long time!
At this moment, Chu Xinghe said, "You might not believe it, but I Chu Xinghe, am actually a bit dead right now..."
He died so calmly... so resolutely... so without hesitation...
