NOVPUBSeeing Shi Jingtian make a poison oath, Li Song could only apologize with a forced smile, "Stone King... just now, I had no choice but to do so, it wasn’t that I didn’t trust the Stone King’s character, please don’t take offense."
As he spoke, Li Song respectfully offered up the two Divine Seeds with both hands. In order for his family to continue, he had no choice but to bend the knee in front of the terrifying figure that was Shi Jingtian.
Shi Jingtian received the two Divine Seeds, carefully inspected them, and then stored them in his waist Storage Treasure. He chuckled and patted Li Song on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, I always keep my word."
"Huh? You..."
But Li Song’s face drastically changed, and he staggered backward, feeling a force from Shi Jingtian’s palm that made his body stiffen up, unable to mobilize even a trace of True Qi.
The smile on Shi Jingtian’s face disappeared, becoming utterly cold: "Li Song, you have lived for so many years in vain, you are truly naive. What if I made a poison oath? So what if I violate it? Not even the heavens can punish me!"
Li Song felt a chill in his heart. Making a poison oath only worked on those with principles. For people like the Ancestor of the Yan family, going against their conscience would create a demon in their heart, but for Shi Jingtian, what does breaking an oath matter? It had absolutely no binding power over him!
The less a person has principles, the more unscrupulously they can act. It has always been so!
Born from the Shi Family, which capriciously seized and devoured others’ bloodline powers, Shi Jingtian always believed in the supremacy of power, where strength reigned supreme.
Li Song was silent, sighing inwardly: "Ancestors... I’m sorry, the family line has ended in my hands, Li Song..."
"Good! With these Turning Stone into Gold Divine Seeds, once my Heavy Mountain Battle Body is cultivated to perfection, Divine Seeds will naturally be born. There will be no need for the ’Heavy Mountain Divine Seed’ left by my ancestors. When I refine this ’Turning Stone into Gold Divine Seed,’ I can achieve becoming a three-layer Heaven Martial Saint! Cultivating a Divine Body is in sight!"
Shi Jingtian was quite pleased in his heart. The Turning Stone into Gold Divine Seed from the Yellow Stone Ancestor was extremely compatible with the cultivation technique he practiced, making it the most suitable as his third Divine Skill!
"Hmm?"
However, Shi Jingtian’s expression suddenly turned serious as he looked back and saw a young man in black walking into the great hall.
"Dao Wufeng?"
Shi Jingtian narrowed his eyes, identifying the origins of this young man in black.
The newcomer was Su Changkong!
Su Changkong made his way into Yellow Stone Cave Sky, delving deeper along the way, because Shi Jingtian had actually swept through it once already, leaving behind only some trivial items. Thus, Su Changkong sped up.
Not long ago, Su Changkong sensed the aura of Divine Seeds and followed the direction here.
"Shi Jingtian... Li Song..."
Su Changkong saw Shi Jingtian and Li Song in the great hall.
At this moment, Li Song didn’t look good; his skin had turned pale grey, with layers of grey rocks forming on his body, as if he was about to turn into a stone sculpture.
"Mr. Blade? What brings you here?"
Seeing Su Changkong arrive, Li Song was also stunned, not understanding why Su Changkong would appear here.
"Li Zhengao came to me," Su Changkong casually explained, which made Li Song roughly understand what had happened. Li Zhengao had escaped from Literacy Paradise. Worried about the Li Family, he directly went to the Great Flame Empire to find Su Changkong, who once had a connection with the Li Family!
"Dao Wufeng, it’s been over a year since we last met. It seems you have greatly improved in that time!"
When Shi Jingtian saw Su Changkong, he narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke.
Having seen Su Changkong in Mirror Heaven and Earth, Shi Jingtian recognized him at a glance. Moreover, Shi Jingtian could sense that Su Changkong, just like him, was of the same life level, having also entered saint.
"Shi Jingtian, this is our second meeting." Su Changkong likewise spoke, noting that Shi Jingtian was extraordinary and commanding, his aura concealed yet exuding an unrivaled might, on a completely different level compared to Wei Shengxin, who had entered saint by refining a Divine Seed.
"What are you doing here?"
Shi Jingtian didn’t beat around the bush but directly asked, understanding that if Su Changkong could find this place, then surely he must have come into contact with the Martial Artists of the Shi Family.
"The Li Family and I have old ties, and they have not provoked you. Why be so aggressive? I ask you to give some consideration to my plea, and in the future, please stop troubling the Li Family."
Su Changkong spoke earnestly, stating his purpose.
Upon hearing this, the corner of Shi Jingtian’s mouth curled up into a smirk: "Dao Wufeng, there are some old grievances between my Shi Family and the ancestors of the Li Family. This is our affair. I prefer not to clash with you, but you would do well not to meddle."
How could Shi Jingtian possibly let go of the Li Family? Not to mention eradicating them to prevent future troubles, but just for the Divine Seed on Li Song’s body alone, Shi Jingtian was resolute in obtaining it. He wasn’t about to give up on obliterating the Li Family just because of a few words from Su Changkong’s arrival.
"You truly are unwilling to spare the Li Family? They pose no threat to you."
Su Changkong furrowed his brows.
Shi Jingtian stood with his hands behind his back, indifferently saying, "A threat... must be eradicated, no matter how big or small it is!"
Su Changkong nodded in agreement, looking directly at Shi Jingtian, a dangerous gleam in his eyes: "Shi Jingtian, let’s be frank, dozens of Martial Artists from the Shi Family, including Shi Bupo, died at my hand. According to your logic, a threat should be eradicated... so surely I must be on your hit list as well. Since you’re not willing to let things go and resolve our enmity, I have no choice but to eradicate you too!"
