C107

Everyone was looking for him, but when they looked back, Shentu Shun was right in front of them.

Divine gift is Shentu Shun, no happiness unexpected.

Not long ago, the Scarlet Core had sworn an oath and immediately received Shentu Shun's whereabouts. And now, it wanted to sell him the news of Ling Shi.

As long as he protected Heaven's Gift for ten years, for the sake of Spirit's sake, he had no choice but to accept.

Even if Chi Dan did not know, he could guess that Shen Tu Shun was the one who gave the gift of Heaven, and even if he knew that it was Shen Tu Shun who gave him the gift of Heaven, he still knew that it was Shen Tu Shun who gave the gift of Heaven.

Not willing to tell him the news of Ling Leng, so it turned out this was its premeditated plan, deliberately plotting against him.

Currently, in front of him, there were only two paths. The first path was for Shentu Shun, to give up on the news of Ling Shi, and the other for Ling Li, to give up on Shentu Shun.

To break his own oath, to immediately act against the bestowal of Heaven, or to actually act as he had sworn, to protect the gift of Heaven for ten years?

The choice between a lover and Shentu Shun was a test.

After obtaining Shentu Shun, one would gain the world, refine Shentu Shun, and with success in cultivation, one could obtain all sorts of women. Many people could not resist the temptation of becoming an immortal and chose to obtain Shentu Shun.

Ten miles of plain lake was covered with frost, and every inch of black hair was filled with sorrow. One could only envy the mandarin ducks for not being able to see each other.

In the choice between heaven's gift and spirit, if there was no happiness, in the end, he would not let down Ling Li, and choose to keep his promise and protect heaven's gift.

"Aren't you fellows your partners?"

There was no problem with protecting the divine retribution, but there was one thing he couldn't understand. Like Huo Luan, he couldn't understand why the news about the divine retribution came from the mouth of the red pill.

"That's right!"

From the moment he was born, he had always been by his partner's side. He never left his partner. No one could erase the relationship between Chi Dan and his partner. To have a partner like Meng Hao had always been a source of satisfaction.

"Why did you do that?"

In this day and age, the people of the world were in a frenzy towards Shentu Shun. Whoever admitted that they were Shentu Shun would have to pay the price of their lives.

As his own comrade, Chi Dan should have the duty and responsibility to protect Tian Ci from harm, so why did he push his comrade into the fire pit?

Not to mention Huo Luan and No Happiness, most likely not many people could understand Chi Dan's motive for doing so.

"Haha, This King wants to have a heaven given name that will shake the world. Everyone knows."

He pushed his comrades into the sea of flames for a reason so that everyone would know what kind of strange reason it was.

"Haha, congratulations, you've succeeded, but …"

Whether or not it was Shentu Shun, there was no guarantee of happiness. In less than a day, everyone would know about it.

"Little Dan, you want to kill me?"

After the ruckus caused by Little Dan, Tian Ci knew that she had become completely famous. She also knew that she would be in for a lot of trouble.

"Tsk, damn brat. You want to become my partner? Your name is destined to shake the mountains and rivers. Everyone knows that your father is helping you …"

Even though Chi Dan had suffered the wrath of his comrade, he didn't have the slightest awareness of what he had done wrong. Instead, he felt that it was natural.

If one wanted to become its partner, then one must have a reputation that could shake mountains and rivers. Everyone knew that it was truly difficult to be its partner, and those were probably the thoughts of everyone present.

Relying on his own hard work in cultivation to become the overlord of one side; diligently in business to become a wealthy merchant; learning medicine to save people and become a folk doctor; and also...

There were many ways to become famous, so why did he need Shentu Shun as his partner?

"Help me?"

"Did you help me become famous, or did you help me get eaten?"

When Little Dan told the world that he was Shentu Shun, this was not helping him become famous. This was clearly harming him.

"Heh heh..."

In the eyes of the people, Shentu Shun was not a person, but an immortal medicine. Whoever got it would eat him, and calling him Shentu Shun was indeed not helping.

The conversation between Tian Ci and Little Dan wasn't hidden from outsiders. After all, he was a mortal, so he didn't have the ability to set up a barrier. Thus, it was impossible for him to hide it from everyone.

The conversation between the man and the beast revealed very little information. Tian Ci refused to admit that she was Shentu Shun, and Chi Dan was also not sure that his partner was Shentu Shentu Shun.

Earlier, it was clearly referring to Shentu Shun, but now, it seemed to be intentionally denying it.

From start to finish, Tian Ci did not admit that she was Shentu Shun. Whether or not she was Shentu Shun, no happiness, and hundreds of high-level cultivators had their suspicions about Shentu Shun's identity.

"Little friend, are you really Shentu Shun?"

Many pieces of evidence pointed to him as Shentu Shun. Would he admit it?

He could not. Not to mention whether he could bear the destruction of his family, he only had to admit that he was Shentu Shun. No one in the world would let him go.

"Old grandpa, don't listen to Little Dan's nonsense. How could I possibly be Shentu Shun?!"

"Can you prove that you're not Shentu Shun?"

All the evidence pointed to Shentu Shun. It was indeed difficult to prove that he wasn't Shentu Shun, and there was no proof that he had nothing to do with Shentu Shun.

"This …"

Chi Dan didn't want to bother with his partner as he wanted to know if his partner was Shentu Shun. He chose to ignore whether his partner could prove his identity.

The disaster was caused by him, so he completely ignored it. Obviously, he was not responsible at all.

Really ignored?

Was he really irresponsible?

As long as his partner was Shentu Shun, he could not take even half a step away from his partner.

Huo Luan had been keeping a distance from him the entire time. He probably didn't want to get too close to him to avoid being implicated. Along the way to the city, they had been like grasshoppers on the same rope.

It could not leave its comrades, so it could only turn around and face Huo Luan while ignoring the distance.

"Haha, brat Huo Luan, are we partners?"

However, just because Huo Luan and the Little Demon King were partners, it did not mean that they would have to see each other off.

"No!"

"Do you want to become This King's partner?"

Tian Ci was the Little Demon King's partner, but what about the result?

For the sake of his so-called fame that could shake mountains and rivers and was known by the world, Chi Dan had actually betrayed his comrades. If he had a relationship with it, Huo Luan would probably end up with the same result. Huo Luan would not cause trouble for herself.

"I don't want to!"

Demon Kings, demons, and even humans were supreme existences. Chi Dan would never believe that there was actually someone who was unwilling to become his partner.

"This King knows that you want to be my partner?"

Although they had only known each other for a day, Huo Luan understood Chi Dan's ability to stir up trouble. If he were to meet Huo Luan now, it would definitely not be good. How could Huo Luan not know?

"You think too much!"

"Haha, you must be joking!"

Even though he was rejected twice, Chi Dan still wanted to entangle Huo Luan. This showed that his skin was really thick. Of course, it couldn't be denied that his face was much thicker than Huo Luan's.

"Not interested!"

After once again being rejected, Chi Dan no longer bothered Huo Luan and requested for Huo Luan to be his partner.

Ever since they were born, they had always been with the immortal master and his companions, and it just so happened that the three of them had been travelling together.

The immortal master had left. Now that there was another unhappy, three-man team, Huo Luan didn't really care whether he was willing to be his partner or not.

Since he didn't care, there was no need for him to keep pestering him.

He wasn't trying to pester Huo Luan brat, he was just trying to use him to talk.

His companion was Shentu Shun. This was a disaster that he had brought upon himself, so how could he just stand by and watch? Since his companion could not prove that he was not Shentu Shun, he would help him prove it.

If he said that his partner was not Shentu Shun with a hundred top grade spirit stones, then wouldn't that mean that he had been deceiving the world? He couldn't say that his partner wasn't Shentu Shun; he could only prove it through other means.

"This king also knows where Shentu Changsheng is. I only need five top quality spirit stones. Would any of you be interested?"

Although there were hundreds of high-level cultivators who had irreconcilable enmity with the Shentu Clan, everyone had come for the sake of Shentu.

Shentu Changsheng, can he make people become immortals, or can he make people live forever?

What was the use of having news of him right now?

Isn't it a fool to spend five top grade spirit stones to buy news of him? Since no one had bid to buy the location of Shentu Changsheng, the Scarlet Pill could only lower its price.

"Four?"

No one bid...

"Three?"

No one bid...

"Alright, one pill, I can't lose any more!"

No one bid...

"One spirit stone..."

Compared to Shentu Shentu, his older brother, Shentu Changsheng, was way too cheap. The price of spirit stones continued to drop, falling down to one spirit stone but still no one bid …

"Did you hear wrongly? "I said, 'One spirit stone!'. It is not a top grade spirit stone, nor is it a high grade spirit stone, much less a middle grade spirit stone."

Afraid that those people might have heard wrongly, Chi Dan explained the situation seriously. After which, no one actually made a bid.

It wasn't that they didn't want to buy Shentu Changsheng's location, but rather, their thoughts were all on God's bestowal, wanting to find out as soon as possible whether or not it was Shentu Shun.

Shentu Changsheng's existence was a disaster for the cultivation world. No one wanted to see him grow.

Amongst the hundreds of high-level cultivators, there were many who had participated in the destruction of the Shentu Clan 13 years ago. There were even some who had watched indifferently as Shentu Changsheng was bullied.

If it was at the beginning, when the Scarlet Core sold Shentu Changsheng's location, instead of Shentu Shun's location, it was likely that Shentu Changsheng's location would have been sold for quite a few spirit stones.

It was not known what kind of disaster Shentu Shenjun could bring to the cultivation world. Even if it was just a guess, almost no one was willing to give up.

Since he was the first to sell off Shentu Shun's location, then Shentu Changsheng's location was naturally worthless.

"Motherf * cker, I have already earned a hundred top quality spirit stones. As for Shentu Changsheng's whereabouts, I have given them away for nothing!"

No one bid even a single spirit stone. There was no helping it, the Scarlet Core could only be given away. Pointing at Huo Luan, its voice once again resounded throughout the entire city.

"Shentu Changsheng is here!"

Shentu Changsheng?

Hearing Chi Dan's words, everyone's eyes lit up. They looked at Huo Luan and then at Chi Dan, but no one actually made any reactions.

No one had any reaction. However, Huo Luan was unable to remain calm. It was obvious that Chi Dan was trying to make him hate Huo Luan. How could he remain calm?

His heart grew restless, and the unique aura of a cultivator exploded forth at this moment.

"You?"
