An oath was not an ordinary oath; it was an oath made on the condition of a Celestial Tribulation.
A lie was not an ordinary lie. Rather, it was a lie that knew the whereabouts of Shentu Shun.
The divine retribution was related to life and death, spirit stones were related to the length of time one had cultivated, life and death, greed and both of which could not be obtained simultaneously. Thus, Chi Dan chose the former.
"Fellow Daoist, can't you give us an explanation?"
A lie that attracted a hundred thousand cultivators, and they rushed forward to follow it up, causing such a huge disturbance. They said they could leave, but how could things be so simple?
Since he was not born for two hundred years, everyone thought that he had died for no reason.
Just because of a single lie, he had come. Since he had not obtained Shentu Shun's whereabouts, how could he let this matter rest?
Without Shentu Shun's whereabouts, a hundred top grade spirit stones would be the best compensation to him. If he was compensated, he would not pursue the matter. What about a hundred thousand cultivators and the dead?
A hundred thousand victims, what should they use to compensate? What should they use to compensate the dead? If they can't obtain compensation, then how could they not pursue the matter?
If Chi Dan wanted to leave, he could, but before he left, he had to give them an explanation.
"Old thing, you have a lot of time right? When you die, This King will definitely send you off!"
If it wasn't for the fact that there was no happiness, Chi Dan was already holding onto the high grade storage necklace and counting the spirit stones. If it wasn't for the happiness, its dreams would have been ruined.
It didn't care about its happiness, it actually stopped it from leaving. For the spirit stones, it had tolerated no happiness. Now that its beautiful dream had been shattered, it finally could no longer tolerate it.
Didn't he have to account for it? Alright, it would help him.
"Old thing, are you satisfied with the way you say it?"
Would you be satisfied if you were cursed?
Being cursed by Chi Dan was not like how other people imagined. Anger rushed through his head, and perhaps time had truly soothed his spirit, or perhaps he really was going to die, so that he wouldn't be angry and calm.
The peace without happiness was not an act. He had seen it many times in his senior brother's life.
"Fellow Daoist, you've truly decided to give your all when you die. How about this? Let this old Daoist send you off!"
Being cursed and not getting angry did not mean that they would not retaliate. They would return the curse back to him.
"Your father has calculated that he has a long life!"
It was not a Scarlet Core that was boasting. Its lifespan was beyond anyone's imagination.
A normal wild boar's lifespan is around 20-30 years. Once it knows how to cultivate and becomes a demon beast, its lifespan will lengthen until it reaches the realm of a Demon King. It can live for at least 5000 years.
It had only been five years since its birth. According to the demon beast's calculation, it should be a newborn piglet. Compared to the lack of happiness, it had absolute confidence in its longevity.
"Is that so? The old Daoist feels that they might not let you live past today! "
Confusion in the mundane world, the occurrence of accidents is a common thing, no matter how long a lifespan, it is not equal to the occurrence of accidents.
To attract a hundred thousand cultivators and ignite the anger in their hearts was undoubtedly courting death. Unfortunately, Chi Dan's lie had successfully ignited their anger.
Hundreds of high level cultivators did not make a move, nor did the hundred thousand low level cultivators. They were waiting for the unlucky ones to express their stance, and if there was no happiness to support them, then hundreds of high level cultivators would swarm over, leaving behind not even the corpse of the Scarlet Core.
"This is the Hollow Jade Sect. I am a noble guest of the Hollow Jade Sect. Do they dare to be rude to me?"
It was definitely a show of strength, because Chi Dan already believed that happiness was not an exaggeration. Those looks of hatred and hatred were enough to show that everyone was being teased and deceived, wanting to take revenge on him.
"This old Daoist is someone who is about to die. He will seek justice for everyone in the world, why not?"
As the saying goes, beating a dog requires you to look at its owner. In the territory of the Hollow Jade Sect, killing a guest of the Hollow Jade Sect would cause them to lose face, and they would definitely not let this matter rest.
Moreover, Scarlet Core was not an ordinary customer. Behind it was an old cultivator whose cultivation base was unknown. If Scarlet Core was in trouble in his own territory, the Hollow Jade Sect would not be able to explain this to the old cultivator.
Rogue cultivators were all alone. If they killed Chi Dan, they would at most run away and disappear for decades, or even hundreds of years. They would be just as carefree and carefree after coming out.
The cultivators of the sects were different. They had their own sects. If they killed Chi Dan, their sects would be implicated. Not only would they not kill Chi Dan, they would even stop the rogue cultivators.
He did not dare to make a move on the Scarlet Core, but on the premise that no tribulation stage cultivator appeared, the tribulation stage cultivator would interfere. Even if he killed the Scarlet Core, at most, the blame would be placed on the tribulation stage cultivator.
If he wasn't threatened by happiness, he would be prepared to be a scapegoat.
"Old thing, you are threatening This King?"
Isn't the threat of no happiness obvious?
He was being forced, threatened. At this moment, Chi Dan truly hated himself for not being the Monster King. If he was, he would have resisted long ago.
Not being a Demon King, it could not retaliate. Resisting would only worsen its dire situation. It could only rage and lose its happiness.
"Does fellow daoist know where Shentu Shun is?"
In this world, there was no happiness like everyone else. For Shentu Shun's whereabouts, it was not to look at the anger of the weak, but rather to ignore the anger of Chi Dan.
Chi Dan was unwilling to swear. Was he pushing her too hard, or did he not know where Shentu Shun was?
If it did not know where Shentu Shun was, and he had one hundred top grade spirit stones, then it would not have come here for nothing.
If it really knew Shentu Shun's whereabouts, it would only refuse to swear because it was forced into a corner. That was not impossible.
Chi Dan just refused to swear that he did not know where Shentu Shun was.
In the past thirteen years, this was the first time that he heard of Shentu Shun's whereabouts. If he missed Shentu Shun, he would cry, but there would be no tears. No matter what, he had to find out.
If he wanted to find out, Chi Dan would tell him?
Can you just say that you don't know where Shentu Shun is?
If it was before, when the immortal master was still by its side, it would definitely say, "I don't know, what can you do to me!"
Now that it had become enemies with all the cultivators of the world and the immortal master was not by its side to take care of its own wrongdoings, it had to be responsible for the lives of itself and its companions.
He said that he did not know where Shentu Shun was and that there was no way out.
Can you tell me where Shentu Shun is?
During the period of chaos, demon beasts were not popular among humans. Because of him trying to attract customers, they were given a nickname. What was the meaning of using words? Chi Dan was very clear.
Under normal circumstances, no one would believe its words because Shentu Shun's whereabouts were too shocking. In front of Immortal Ascension, Longevity and the temptation to unify the world, everyone had no choice but to believe its words.
Many people had already begun to waver before swearing an oath.
If he were to directly say that he knew about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, it would only raise suspicions that he was a coward that feared death. He would intentionally say that he knew about Shentu Shun's whereabouts in order to protect himself.
Can't say I know, can't say I don't know, how to answer?
Once upon a time, he would face life and death; once upon a time, he would be responsible for life and death; once upon a time, he would work hard to convince others of him; once upon a time, he would rack his brains for a problem.
No matter what, he had to resolve the crisis in front of him.
To solve the crisis, he had to find the source.
He had clearly been the one to take the initiative, so how could he have lost the initiative and put himself and his comrades in a life or death situation?
For the past five years, the immortal master and Tian Ci had shielded him from the wind and rain. He had never needed to consider any problems. At this moment, for the sake of his comrades and himself, he was lost in thought for the first time.
In the end, guesses could not be considered facts. The entire city waited in silence, waiting for an answer.
"Haha..." "So that's how it is!"
In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Core swept its gaze over all of the cultivators. It was looking at Wu Yunliang with a serious expression as it smiled.
It was laughing because it knew why it was in such a life-threatening danger.
The reason why it was in such a predicament was because it had never taken anything seriously before. It was so unlucky that it had treated everything as a battle.
It was not necessarily a battle of force, but it could also be a battle of momentum.
Ever since there was no sign of happiness, the battle had already begun. Snatching spirit stones was just a prelude to something.
Because of its greed, its spirit stones had been stolen, and it was in complete chaos. It had been led astray by the nose by a lack of happiness, and had lost the initiative. It had lost all of its grandeur.
At this moment, it had lost all hope of obtaining the spirit stones, and its companion's life was in danger. Only then did it realize that it had been fighting with Unhappiness the entire time.
Fortunately, he had discovered it early. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire. Knowing where the crisis came from and then resolving it would have been much easier.
In terms of power, unhappiness was a cultivator in the tribulation stage, and he had 100,000 cultivators behind him to rely on.
In terms of aura, a tribulation cultivator was on the verge of death, so naturally, his aura would not be weaker than others.
In terms of strength, he was not at an advantage at all.
In terms of momentum, he had already fallen to the bottom, disappearing at any moment.
In terms of momentum, it was nothing more than strength and trump cards. If one was unable to compete in strength, taking out their greatest trump card and suppressing strength, they would still be in an invincible position.
Without any of them, there was only death.
In a competition of strength, it had already lost. If it wanted to turn back its disadvantage, it could only reveal its trump card. Its greatest trump card was also its only trump card. It could only reveal Shentu Shun's whereabouts.
He didn't dare to swear that his trump card had been questioned by others. He had thought that he would lose miserably, but who knew that he would still care about Shentu Shun's whereabouts?
If there was no happiness and it did not care about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, it had already lost.
If there was no happiness and it still cared about Shentu Shun's whereabouts, then it had yet to lose. It also had the chance to turn the tides and turn the tides into a victory.
Shentu Shun's location was his trump card and also his companion's talisman. As long as there was no happiness or concern, he would be in an invincible position.
It was said that there was no difference between losing and losing, only being a bit weaker in terms of strength and momentum. Now that it wanted to use its one and only trump card to regain the momentum of losing, it could only gamble.
"This King said that if you want to know where Shentu Shun is, you need to use spirit stones to exchange for him. Otherwise, don't even think about it!"
He originally thought that Chi Dan would laugh and bluff, but reality was unexpected.
The bystanders were all aware of what was going on, while the onlookers were all engrossed in what was going on.
Since the beginning of the fight, no one had realized that the battle had already begun.
With his threats and coercion, Chi Dan began to compromise. Helpless, everyone finally realized that this was a battle between two people.
When the hundred thousand cultivators saw, or felt, that the Scarlet Core was on the verge of losing, they were quite happy.
Tian Ci, Huo Luan, and Lu Ding only wanted Chi Dan to be taught a lesson, and never thought of killing them.
For Chi Dan to be able to see everything clearly at such a crucial moment, other than the three of them being very happy, the other cultivators definitely wouldn't be happy.
