BXBX NOVEL Chapter 921: Uncompromising (1)
No matter how strong a peerless immortal was, they could only bow down to an immortal king. The two were on completely different levels. Therefore, the three of them were trying to persuade him from a practical point of view.
It was a pity that they did not understand Shen Ping’s motive. If he had planned to resolve the matter from the beginning, he would not have invited the owner of Phoenix House, let alone kill him in front of everyone.
“Brother Lin, how’s Huo Yao?”
“He was imprisoned by his grandfather in the prison of the Black Horn Legion. It was said that he would be imprisoned for tens of thousands of years and make him repent.”
Shen Ping smiled faintly and said, “Brother Lin, then I’ll have to trouble you to help me spread the word. Some things should be dealt with according to the rules of the human race’s Heavenly Court, not just to solve things simply. If it’s unfair, it’s fine if I don’t eat this meal.”
The other two peerless immortals paled slightly. No matter how guilty Huo Yao was, it was impossible for his grandfather, the commander, to personally kill his descendant. This was not a matter of putting righteousness before family, but a matter of face. If the commander did this, how could he establish himself in the Northern Ice Immortal City in the future?
And if he did not participate in Black Horn General’s invitation, no matter what the reason was, it would be a form of contempt for him. Therefore, Shen Ping’s actions were undoubtedly telling the Black Horn Army that he was challenging the authority of the army!
Looking at Shen Ping’s expression, the other two peerless immortals hesitated. The peerless immortal surnamed Lin nodded. “Brother Shen, I believe you have your reasons for doing this. You should be mentally prepared to offend the Black Horn Legion. I, however, still have to remind you that the Black Horn Legion is one of the five great legions in the city. Putting aside the Black Horn Immortal King behind them, just the general and his deputy generals are all peak peerless immortals. Their secret techniques, treasures, and immortal bodies are top-notch. Although they aren’t on the foreign races’ bounty list, their strength far exceeds Cheng Yi.
“If there really is a conflict, the three of us won’t help you.”
As the saying goes, friendship between gentlemen is as calm as water. They knew each other because they had the same temperament, but they would never put themselves in danger because of this.
Shen Ping smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. The three of you know very well what kind of person I am over the past twenty years, I definitely won’t drag you down with me. I will bear all the consequences. Brother Lin, you can also tell the Black Horn Legion that if they want revenge, feel free to look for me. From tomorrow onwards, I will wait in the Yanhuo Maple Forest outside the city. If Huo Yao doesn’t receive the punishment he deserves within a year, I’ll spar with every commander of the Black Horn Legion.”
Brother Lin and the other two peerless immortals looked deeply at Shen Ping. Since they could cultivate to peerless immortal, every one of them was not a fool. They believed that Shen Ping was not stupid either. There was definitely a deeper meaning behind his actions.
“Sure, I’ll make sure to deliver that message.”
Several days later, the deputy general slammed the table, stood up, and said angrily, “This is provoking my Black Horn Legion. How many years has it been? No one has ever dared to look down on my Black Horn Legion. This Shen has the guts to provoke us. General, let me teach this ignorant fellow a lesson!”
Each of the five legions was a colossus. Even the soldiers in the army were not people that immortals outside could provoke, not to mention commanders.
Although the other party had killed Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi wasn’t worth anything to them. The foreign races’ bounty list represented their combat strength to a certain extent, but many of the experts in their army were not on the bounty list.
The other deputy generals were expressionless, but their eyes were cold. The Black Horn Legion’s dignity was not to be provoked. Their general had personally invited them to quell the situation. Any peerless immortal would have given them face, but the other party’s arrogant attitude was indeed infuriating.
Thinking about it carefully, they didn’t understand where this guy got his confidence from to dare to challenge their Black Horn Legion! So they were not in a hurry to show their attitude.
General Black Horn’s expression was calm. He glanced at the five deputy generals and leisurely said, “What are you in a hurry for? This matter was caused by Commander Huo’s blood descendant. If anyone wants to attack, it should be him, right?”
“The general is right.”
“It was time for Commander Huo to take action.”
The deputy general who spoke first couldn’t help but say, “General, Commander Huo is only a fifth level peerless immortal. How can he be a match for that Shen?”
The general glanced at him. “It’s none of your business. Just watch patiently.”
Commander Huo’s expression was dark. He hadn’t expected him to be so stubborn. Wasn’t it all because of a woman? A peerless immortal had already died, and he’d even asked the general to personally take action.
What was this guy trying to do!
“Damn it! Since we can’t reconcile, we can only kill him! I don’t have the strength myself, so I can only go to the Assassin Hall.”
The Assassin Hall was another large faction that spanned across many Immortal Realms. It was on the same level as the Black Sky Tavern. However, compared to the Black Sky Tavern, the Assassin Hall was established by an Immortal Venerable. In addition, it had always been secretive and mainly did assassinations, so it was not very eye-catching. Nevertheless, no one dared to underestimate the Assassin Hall.
