For the next twenty days or so, Lin Heng settled comfortably in the city lord's mansion.
By checking in every day, I received four Initial-Grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, including a two-million-year-old spiritual herb and three one-million-year-old spiritual herbs.
The content that follows is somewhat lacking.
Of course, this is not enough; it depends on the person. For example, those Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure that other Supreme Saint experts in the Longevity Realm dream of obtaining are thrown into the system warehouse by Lin Heng like trash, and he doesn't even bother to give them a second glance.
Seeing that there wasn't much good stuff left in the Heavenly Abundance City Lord's Mansion, Lin Heng had a different thought after signing in that day.
Kill Situ Jiannan, then steal his Source Stone and leave?
After all, they've already taken all the credit, and they've gotten everything they wanted to know from Situ Jiannan, so there's no point in going on about it.
Before Lin Heng could even go to Situ Jiannan, the other party unexpectedly approached him first.
"Brother Lin, I wonder if you came to the Longevity Realm alone, or if you came with others and then got separated?"
As soon as Situ Jiannan stepped into Lin Heng's room, he asked the question.
Lin Heng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. Could it be that something had happened to his mother and the others?
"I do have a few friends, but we scattered after we arrived in the Longevity Realm."
After responding, Lin Heng quickly asked, "Is there any news about other Ascenders?"
Situ Jiannan nodded and smiled, "I just received news that a female Ascenders has appeared in the northern part of the Spirit Radiance Region, and has slaughtered two cities. I knew immediately that this person must be related to Brother Lin."
Situ Jiannan's words were nothing more than a reference to Lin Heng's past deeds in Tianyu Cheng and Luohua City, and also carried some implications.
If Situ Jiannan could suppress the matter of Lin Heng's massacre of two city lords and prevent the Ninefold Heaven from pursuing it, then he could naturally suppress today's matter as well. His words just now were an implication to Lin Heng.
If you offer the right benefits, I'll take care of things for you.
" Situ, where is that Ascenders being now?"
Lin Heng asked a question.
"I just received news that the person has disappeared after slaughtering the city lords of two cities. The Blood Demon Sect of the Ninefold Heaven is in charge of managing that area. If this matter is reported to the Ninefold Heaven, given the Blood Demon Sect's temperament, they will definitely send people down to capture that Ascenders immediately."
After saying this, Situ Jiannan looked at Lin Heng with a smile.
Everyone knows that Ascenders are incredibly wealthy, and Situ Jiannan was well-prepared to make a fortune off Lin Heng.
" Situ, I'll head north to the Spirit Radiance Region first. Farewell."
After Lin Heng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Situ Jiannan's reply and flew away from the City Lord's Mansion.
Situ Jiannan was completely bewildered. He was still waiting to fleece Lin Heng, and he just left like that?
After thinking it over, Situ Jiannan offered himself some words of self-consolation.
"I reckon Lin Heng isn't sure if he knows that person yet. Once he confirms and comes back, he'll definitely come looking for me, and then..."
Situ Jiannan couldn't help but reveal a sly smile; the Ascenders were easy prey!
After leaving Heavenly Abundance City, Lin Heng headed north.
In his anxiety, Lin Heng worked without rest for half a month straight.
In other words, Lin Heng's physique is exceptionally strong; a Supreme Saint expert simply wouldn't have been able to endure it.
As Lin Heng approached the northernmost part of the Spirit Radiance Region, he heard a lot of news about the Ascenders along the way.
On this day, Lin Heng arrived at a city called Luotian City.
Lin Heng was exhausted from the continuous journey and planned to rest here for a while, and also inquire about the Ascenders.
We arrived at Huafeng Restaurant, the largest restaurant in the city.
After ordering a few side dishes, Lin Heng sat quietly in a corner by the window, listening to the conversations around him.
Soon, a conversation at a table not far to Lin Heng's left caught his attention.
"Have you heard? That Ascenders went on a killing spree in Mobei City and Yuanhua City slaughtered Luoyuan City yesterday."
"I heard about this this morning. The city Sikong Zhao of Luoyuan City, Sikong Zhao, relies on his family's influence in the Ninefold Heaven and usually acts arrogantly. I guess he was after that female Ascenders's looks, but he ran into a brick wall."
"It is said that Sikong Zhao died a gruesome death, his face was unrecognizable, and there was not a single survivor in the entire city lord's mansion."
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng got up and walked towards that table.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, do you know where that Ascenders is now?"
As he spoke, Lin Heng took out ten Source Stone and placed them on the table.
The group's eyes lit up when they saw the Source Stone. One of them quickly said, "I don't know the exact location, but I heard that after that person slaughtered the city lord's mansion in Luoyuan City, he headed south."
Thank you!
Upon receiving the news, Lin Heng didn't linger; he left the money for the food and drinks on the table and left immediately.
After Lin Heng left, the group divided the Source Stone on the table. The man who had answered Lin Heng laughed and said, "He gave away ten Source Stone in one go. It seems this person has a special relationship with that Ascenders."
"Don't tell me you were lying to him just now."
"They're willing to spend so generously because they want to get real information. Do you think I'd dare lie to such a big shot? Besides, you guys also got a share of the Source Stone."
Lin Heng left Luotian City and, following the advice of the man at the restaurant, first identified the direction of Luoyuan City and rushed there as quickly as possible.
Two days later, when Lin Heng arrived in Luoyuan City, just as the people in the restaurant had said, not a single person was left alive in the city lord's mansion.
Inside the dilapidated city lord's mansion, Lin Heng sensed the presence of his mother, Liu Ling'er. Clearly, the Ascenders had slaughtered three cities was none other than his mother, Liu Ling'er.
Lin Heng did not linger in Luoyuan City. After confirming his identity, he continued heading south towards Luoyuan City.
It is located in a valley tens of thousands of miles away from Luoyuan City.
After leaving Luoyuan City, Liu Ling'er was resting in the valley.
"I wonder how Heng'er and the others are doing now, but the strongest in the Ten Regions is only Supreme Saint, so they should be safe."
Despite her words, Liu Ling'er's eyes still held a hint of worry.
Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself first.
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the mouth of the valley.
Liu Ling'er looked up and saw a tall, imposing man with fiery red curly hair walking slowly towards her.
Liu Ling'er immediately stood up and adopted a wary posture.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you. I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see what the woman who slaughtered three cities in the Spirit Radiance Region looks like."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already walked up to Liu Ling'er. If Lin Heng were here, he would definitely recognize the man at a glance as Ao Zhantian.
"Who are you?"
Liu Ling'er frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
"It's better if you don't know who I am for now, but there is something I need to tell you. Sikong Zhao, whom you killed, had a close connection with the Blood Demon Sect of the Ninth Level of the Ninefold Heaven. Now that you have killed Sikong Zhao, they will probably come looking for you soon."
Ao Zhantian spoke indifferently, his expression unreadable, making it impossible to discern whether he was offering a warning or testing the waters.
