146: Meeting an old friend while traveling in Tiannan
Of course, this didn't have much to do with Li Haotian; he was just curious about the South Heaven Gate. If the Li family became powerful in the future, it wouldn't be impossible to take control of the South Heaven Gate.
The old woman quickly said, "No, please don't misunderstand. I just want to say this is a misunderstanding. Let's see if we can resolve it peacefully."
The old woman didn't dare to threaten Li Haotian. She was afraid that Li Haotian would suddenly attack and kill her before she could even react.
Li Haotian smiled and asked, "Resolve it peacefully? Then tell me, how should we resolve it peacefully?"
The old woman quickly said, "Ultimately, this matter was caused by the two sects of Witchcraft and Gu Sect being too greedy. How about we compensate you?"
There was no other way. They had to do this to ensure the continued existence of the two sects of Witchcraft and Gu Sect.
Only they themselves knew the true situation within the South Heaven Gate. While it was said there were many loose immortals of five or six celestial tribulations, in reality, there were only two loose immortals of six tribulations and six loose immortals of five tribulations.
If Li Haotian was truly very powerful, even if loose immortals of six tribulations appeared, it would likely be useless.
She only needed to wait a few more years to ascend to the Immortal Realm. There was no need to leave her life here for such a matter.
At this moment, she completely believed that Li Haotian could easily kill her, because the Gu Sect expert Li Haotian had just killed was similar to her in strength and was instantly killed in a second.
But how could Li Haotian let them go? Since they dared to send people to intercept and kill him, they should be prepared to die.
"Since that's the case, then all of you can go to hell."
Sword light, another sword light flashed, and the three experts were instantly killed before they could even react.
Not only them, but everyone around who was watching the spectacle also died at Li Haotian's hands.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky, as if they could fall at any moment.
Li Haotian instantly concealed the Sword Embryo, and only then was he alright.
"No, when I go back, I must undergo the celestial tribulation and let the Sword Embryo undergo the celestial tribulation. If I don't undergo the celestial tribulation, I will never be able to break through to the Earth Immortal realm and ascend."
Thinking of this, Li Haotian couldn't help but feel moved. He quickly collected his spoils of war, looked at Wenwen who had already died from the poison, and flew towards the interior of the Witchcraft.
Within the Witchcraft, after Li Haotian had plundered for a while, he was about to leave when a vine snake blocked his path.
Teng Snake! That was an immortal beast, and this fellow in front of him had actually reached the realm of a five-tribulation loose immortal.
Teng Snake transformed into a human and said coldly, "Human junior, my master sent me to eliminate you. Will you die by your own hand, or shall I do it?"
Li Haotian's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Just right. I have a little immortal beast at home, and I don't know how to feed him. This is perfect."
As his voice fell, a powerful aura emanated from him. The Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords merged into one and instantly struck.
Teng Snake's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but shout, "How is this possible? You are an Earth Immortal sword cultivation, how can you not have ascended yet?"
Li Haotian sneered, "Is it strange? Sorry, I don't want to explain. A mere loose immortal dares to be presumptuous in front of me. Go to hell."
Teng Snake fled without hesitation, knowing that he was not Li Haotian's opponent, so he wanted to escape from Li Haotian's attack range at the fastest speed.
But how could it escape the full force of a mid-grade immortal artifact? It hadn't gone far before it was killed by a single sword strike.
When Li Haotian came out of the Witchcraft, he had many storage rings in his hand. He hadn't expected the resources in the Witchcraft to be much more abundant than those in the Tongtian Gate.
Similarly, the Gu Sect experts were also killed, and Li Haotian obtained a lot of resources from their sects as well, similar to the Witchcraft.
This time, no one blocked him. The Weren and Miao people hid far away, cautiously watching Li Haotian. Only after Li Haotian had gone far away did they start discussing.
"What should we do? The Witchcraft and Gu Sect are severely weakened. Our two races are going to have a hard time from now on."
"Alas, it's all caused by greed. We should still ask the seniors within the South Heaven Gate to make a decision for us."
"Will the seniors within the South Heaven Gate see us?"
"Not necessarily, but let's go and see first. After all, we can only wait here now. If other forces come to kill, we won't be able to stop them at all."
"And those damned demon clan, who might also take advantage of this time to kick us while we're down."
"Let's go, let's go. It's no longer safe. Let's find the old ancestors first."
The Weren and Miao people had ugly expressions, not knowing what to do for a while.
However, the three major merchant associations and the external forces looked at each other. They quickly seemed to have made some kind of decision and all flew towards their respective merchant associations.
The Witchcraft and Gu Sect were very powerful, but now only their clansmen within the South Heaven Gate were struggling to hold on.
If the forces behind them intervened, could they also occupy the South Heaven Gate?
The South Heaven Gate not only meant Immortal Spirit Jade, but also various kinds of immortal and spirit herbs.
Do you really think the two sects of Witchcraft and Gu Sect needed old spirit herbs for something? In fact, most of the spirit herbs, if they could be planted, would be brought into the South Heaven Gate and planted within the rift.
It was just that the true strength of the two sects of Witchcraft and Gu Sect was unclear, which was why no one dared to covet the South Heaven Gate.
Now that the two sects had been annihilated by someone, and those guys within the Heaven Gate hadn't come out, it showed that the strength they placed within the South Heaven Gate was not strong.
How could they know Li Haotian's power? How could they know that if Li Haotian acted, even a five-tribulation loose immortal couldn't withstand it, and a six-tribulation loose immortal could even fall? Otherwise, they would have acted long ago.
Within the South Heaven Gate, the strength of the two sects of Witchcraft and Gu Sect was not weak. There were many loose immortals below four tribulations, and there were also several half-immortals who had already passed the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.
It can be said that most of the strength of the two sects of Witchcraft and Gu Sect was in the South Heaven Gate. If the forces behind the three major merchant associations truly wanted the South Heaven Gate, it would probably be somewhat difficult.
These things had little to do with Li Haotian. At this time, Li Haotian had already walked out of the Ten Thousand Mountains and appeared in the Tiannan Cultivation World.
At this time, the Tiannan Continent was pitifully small. Instead of a continent, it was more like a large peninsula.
Besides that, the spiritual energy on the Tiannan Continent was thin, and resources were even scarcer. As Li Haotian walked along, the most he could see were cultivators at the Golden Core realm.
"Alas, this Tiannan is finished."
Walking and stopping along the way, Li Haotian finally arrived at the Heaven's Gate Archipelago. It no longer looked like an archipelago, only scattered desolate islands were located here. Although it wasn't completely uninhabited, the number of people who survived on these scattered islands was very small.
Among them were also cultivators, but unfortunately, the strongest was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage, which made Li Haotian feel somewhat helpless.
This great battle directly destroyed both the Tiannan Cultivation World and the South Sea Cultivation World. Now, the strongest in Tiannan is at the Golden Core realm, and the strongest in the South Sea is only at the Nascent Soul realm. The cultivation resources in both places are very scarce, and it is estimated that the number of cultivators here will decrease significantly soon.
Li Haotian shook his head in disappointment, about to leave, when he suddenly saw a familiar place.
"Wanbao Pavilion? Could it be that the Wanbao Pavilion is still here? Let's go and see."
A thousand years had passed, and the Wanbao Pavilion was still there, and there were quite a few cultivators coming and going.
When Li Haotian walked in, he found that the resources inside were not abundant, but the person was an acquaintance.
Seeing Li Haotian, the woman who was in charge of the Wanbao Pavilion was a little confused.
After hesitating for a moment, the woman walked over and asked, "This... senior, do we know each other?"
Li Haotian sighed slightly, "Alas, over a thousand years have passed, and things are no longer the same. I remember your name was Cuizhu, right?"
The woman was startled at first, then nodded slightly and said, "My feminine cultivator was called Cuizhu many years ago, but I haven't used that name since."
