523: Don't pretend. Do you dare to exchange your life for another's?
When Shen Bei said he wanted Hong Long's head, the entire Night Watcher organization was stunned.
Their faces showed incredible expressions, and they stared at Shen Bei with puzzled eyes.
"He's crazy! Crazy!"
"Who is this person? He's too arrogant, isn't he?"
"You can't brag like that!"
"He probably couldn't join the Night Watcher and got agitated."
"To deal with Hong Long, besides the deeply hidden Royal prince, there are few in the vast Royal city who dare to speak such big words!"
"He's going to his death... hehe."
...
The surrounding comments were filled with a lack of confidence in Shen Bei.
Who is Hong Long?
He is a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm!
An existence that should be on the continent across the great sea!
For some unknown reason, his Lifespan entered a countdown.
That's why he returned to the Royal city and caused a bloodbath.
And coincidentally, Hong Long's outrageous actions were somewhat justified.
This is also why the Royal family did not personally intervene.
After all, he is a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm, and in the entire country, there aren't many such people.
Or rather, there are indeed many who have Cultivated to higher Realms.
But there are also some Cultivators whose Cultivation path stops at the Divine Power Realm.
Unwilling to suffer indignities across the great sea, they returned to this continent and lived in seclusion.
No matter the reason for his return, he is not someone a 'Martial God' is not, merely a 'Ninth Rank Cultivator', who can provoke!
There is an insurmountable chasm between a Great Cultivator and a Cultivator.
It seems like a difference of two Realms, but it's not like Cultivators where a Fifth Rank can still fight a Seventh Rank.
With good luck, or if the opponent is unlucky, a Fifth Rank might even be able to kill a Seventh Rank.
The Divine Power Realm is an existence that completely crushes Cultivators!
Without a one-hit kill move, it's purely a suicide mission.
Even looking at a Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm is a crime and sacrilege!
How dare this Shen Bei utter such "boastful words"?
Did he forget to take his medicine before leaving?
At this moment, Bi Tuo, who was present, also felt extremely awkward upon hearing Shen Bei's words.
Shen Bei said this to cover up the fact that he was rejected from joining the Night Watcher.
Alas, it was indeed his fault; he didn't expect his father to give him no face at all.
No wonder Brother Liu would vent his dissatisfaction with such words.
Bi Tuo watched Shen Bei's departing back. He did not chase after him.
The death of Uncle Meng was more important; he could only find an opportunity to apologize to Shen Bei in the future.
Shen Bei's words and departure were just a minor interlude; no one paid much attention.
Who would care about someone bragging!
At this moment, they were all filled with anger and hatred, and at the same time, they were worried about the fate of the Night Watcher, thinking about how to deal with Hong Long.
...
Hong Long's residence was not difficult to inquire about. He lived in a pavilion, not tall, only two stories, but it was quite luxurious, with carved beams and pillars, gilded bricks and stones, and exquisite screens. Every element exuded an air of opulence.
This pavilion was not far from the Night Watcher, only a few hundred meters away.
Perhaps, he chose to live here to keep an eye on the Night Watcher, making it convenient to cause trouble for them.
Shen Bei walked all the way to the pavilion. At the entrance, only one Cultivator stood. This Cultivator was not strong, not even a Seventh Rank.
Indeed! With Hong Long's strength, the strength of his attendant didn't matter; all he needed was someone to run errands. This Sixth Rank was sufficient.
Shen Bei said to the Cultivator at the pavilion, "Go tell your master that this Junior has an important matter concerning the Night Watcher to discuss with him."
"You said..."
"Go tell your master!" Shen Bei's killing intent was chilling, and the Aura of a Ninth Rank Cultivator pressed down on him. The Cultivator, who had been about to say something, retreated in terrified fright, his face pale.
This peculiar person was quite resolute in his consciousness.
Little did he know, when Nine Lives Raven released his oppressive Aura in Changtu County's bar, all the Eighth Rank Martial Warriors immediately knelt and couldn't get up!
Shen Bei glanced at him, walked directly past him, and stepped towards the second floor.
The Cultivator only then awoke from his terror, his face instantly filled with rage. Since he became the Ancestral Master's servant, who had ever dared to treat him like this?
Just as he was about to scold, he felt a Saber Intent pointing at him from afar, threatening to pierce him if he blocked the way. This made him swallow the words he wanted to scold.
At the same time, he looked at the young man in disbelief. Was he seeking death?
Shen Bei stepped onto the second floor and met the legendary Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm.
This was the first time Shen Bei had directly faced a "Great Cultivator of Divine Power Realm."
His wrinkles spread like withered branches, his eyes had become cloudy and turbid. Lying in a reclining chair, Shen Bei felt a surge of decaying Qi from afar.
Rocking in his chair, he saw Shen Bei's arrival, and his tree bark-like lips parted: "You'd best give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise, insulting my servant is also a capital offense!"
Shen Bei looked at him, feeling his abyssal, ocean-like Aura. He had no doubt that the other party could easily tear him apart with a single thought.
However, Shen Bei was fearless.
He looked at Hong Long and said, "I've come this time to ask Senior for a favor. And this favor, only you can help with."
Hong Long was startled, looking at the young man before him. He searched his memories, trying to recall if he had any acquaintance with Shen Bei. Otherwise, how would he dare to come before him and say such a thing?
"Do we know each other?" Hong Long hadn't thought of it, so he spoke directly.
"Senior and I are meeting for the first time!" Shen Bei answered truthfully!
"Do I have an old acquaintance, and a very good one, with one of your elders or someone in your family?" Hong Long continued to ask.
"Never!"
Hong Long smiled, sat up straight from the reclining chair, and looked at Shen Bei, saying, "Do you know that you are now on a path to death?"
Shen Bei also smiled, looking at Hong Long, and said, "I heard that although Senior has attained longevity, for some unknown reason, his Lifespan is nearing its end, so... you will definitely help me with this favor!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Long's pupils suddenly gleamed, and he stared intently at Shen Bei, saying, "Do you have the antidote for the Nine Netherworld Poison?"
That's right! Besides being able to produce this item, what else could make him interested enough for the other party to ask for his help?
"If you have the antidote for the Nine Netherworld Poison, I'll agree to whatever you want me to help with." Hong Long was excited; who doesn't want to live?
But... he had exhausted all his methods, and there were no more ways to detoxify. How agonizing was the despair of waiting for death.
Nine Netherworld Poison...
Is this the reason his great limit is approaching?
Shen Bei pondered.
Indeed, longevity is just longevity; any random poison can take his life!
Shen Bei secretly made a note to be careful of this item in the future.
"No!" Shen Bei shook his head, answering Hong Long's question.
Hong Long frowned, but then he thought of something and eagerly said, "You told my servant you had something about the Night Watcher to tell me. Do you mean the Night Watcher has the antidote?"
"Whether the Night Watcher has it or not, I do not know." Shen Bei replied to the other party.
Hong Long stared intently at Shen Bei and said, "What matter concerning the Night Watcher could make you so calm and composed, repeatedly angering me here? I hope what you say is valuable, otherwise, I will let you know what it means to wish for death!"
"The Night Watcher has a bounty: Senior's life is worth the Team Leader position." Shen Bei said seriously.
"So what?" Hong Long sneered. Besides the Nine Netherworld Poison, who in this Royal city could take his life?
Or rather, who would dare to take it!
"And I want to be the Team Leader!" Shen Bei looked at Hong Long seriously and said, "So... I have come to ask for Senior's help!"
Hong Long was stunned, then burst into hearty laughter, his gaze falling on Shen Bei: "So you've come for this old man's life, have you? Just you?"
He saw through Shen Bei's Ninth Rank strength at a glance.
A mere Ninth Rank, not even a Martial God, dares to clamor for his life. What is that if not ridiculous?
Hong Long suddenly became interested and wanted to chat more with Shen Bei. He hadn't been this happy in a long time.
"Tell me, how do you plan to make this old man offer his life? Haha, maybe if your conditions are good, I'd be willing to die a little earlier." Hong Long narrowed his eyes, looking at Shen Bei. No matter what reason this kid could come up with, and no matter who was behind him, since he wanted his life, then he should die!
Shen Bei shook his head and said, "There's no need for Senior to offer it; I'll just take it myself!"
Hong Long said disdainfully, "Then you go ahead and try."
"Alright! Then I'll borrow Senior's head for a moment!"
Shen Bei walked towards Hong Long, his expression unchanged, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll.
Hong Long's face held a mocking expression, but the next moment, his eyes widened, and he stared at Shen Bei in disbelief.
He struggled to stand up and attack Shen Bei, but he couldn't. He lost his life with wide-open eyes.
That's right!
He felt his Lifespan draining away like a breached dam. His already dwindling Lifespan completely vanished in an instant; he didn't even have a chance to utter another word.
Life Severing Strike!
The desperate Great Divine Ability!
Even as powerful as Hong Long.
Shen Bei could still exchange his life for his!
