He didn't have eyes to begin with, so he couldn't see his surroundings. Once his divine sense was used to defend, he would lose the ability to attack, which made Guo Pu very passive.
The four black monsters looked ferocious. No one knew what they were, but in a short moment, they had bitten Guo Pu until his whole body was covered in blood.
He wasn't as powerful as Lee Yixuan. He could take down Guo Pu within a few moves, but this was his most powerful ability. It was called the Summon of Dead Souls. The fewer monsters he summoned, the stronger the monster would be.
It was obvious that Shun Yao hadn't mastered it yet, but it was enough to deal with Guo Pu.
"Ah!!!"
Guo Pu let out a miserable cry. After being heavily injured, he began to beg for mercy. "Lord Shun, I know I was wrong!! Please spare my life, I beg you!! "
Guo Pu was naturally unwilling to die like this.
But Shun Yao's ferocity had been tempered by time, so it naturally couldn't be easily changed with just a few words.
With a thought, the four black monsters became even more violent. Another round of biting and tearing, Guo Pu's body was already badly damaged, and even his soul was torn apart.
Fortunately, he could still recover from cultivating the Law of Life, and so far, his life was not in danger.
Shun Yao cruelly smiled. Without any preparation, he suddenly rushed forward and fiercely pierced Guo Pu's neck with the dagger in his hand. This was a vital point, and although it could not take the life of a cultivator, it could make them completely lose the ability to resist.
In the end, Shun Yao cut off Guo Pu's head and directly put it into a well-equipped box.
He didn't kill Guo Pu not because he couldn't bear it, but because he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to please Lee Yixuan.
If he gave Guo Pu to Lee Yixuan to search his soul, he would definitely get a lot of information about the Life Sovereign.
He knew about Lee Yixuan and the Chief Sovereign of Fate's plan.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, he only needed to infer from the reverse direction. After a while, he understood that both Lee Yixuan and the Chief Sovereign of Fate were using him. Their ultimate goal naturally wasn't him, but the Divine King Palace and the Chief Sovereign behind him.
This was the most deadly thing.
As for Shun Yao, he knew that he had no way out, so he decided to give up and use his own power to give Lee Yixuan some benefits. Perhaps, he might have a chance at survival in the future.
Guo Pu's body, which had his head chopped off, had completely turned into a corpse, and his soul had no chance of escaping in front of a cultivator like him who cultivated the Law of Death.
In the end, all of them were sealed in Guo Pu's head and locked into a box.
Guo Pu never expected that Shun Yao would be so cruel, and he naively thought that there was still room for negotiation.
"Lord Shun, I beg you to spare my life. I promise to keep this a secret for you!!"
"Hehe, only dead people can keep secrets. I can't trust you! Also, don't be afraid. I won't kill you for the time being, because I've given you a better place to go. I'll definitely satisfy you!!"
As he spoke, he directly closed the chest.
"No!!!"
Guo Pu roared angrily and completely fell into darkness.
At this moment, Shun Yao was like a demon. His eyes had turned blood red due to the activation of the Death Rule, and his face was covered in dark red patterns. He looked extremely ferocious and cautious.
. . .
That night, Lee Yixuan was still meditating. Sikong Bei had already started building the Pill Hall according to his request. As for building all kinds of defensive fortifications for the city, he wasn't in a hurry.
After all, Lee Yixuan's relationship with the Chief Sovereign of Fate had indeed spread, but he still needed to give those outside cultivators some time to react.
This period of time would take at least ten days to half a month.
However, when Sikong Bei was worrying about the money in his own treasury, a guard ran in to report.
"Milord, an old man from the Divine King Palace came from outside. He said that he's Lord Shun's confidant and wants to see you personally!"
"Meet me?"
"That's right! the old man said. That old man even specifically emphasized not to alert Mr. Li!"
Sikong Bei pondered. After thinking for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately went to welcome him.
As soon as he arrived outside the City Lord Mansion, he saw them. Manager Yang was standing guard outside the door, his face full of vigilance, as if he was afraid that something bad would happen to him.
When Manager Yang heard the footsteps behind him, he also turned around and looked at Sikong Bei. His eyes instantly lit up as he said, "City Lord Sikong, you've finally come out!"
Although Sikong Bei had a guess in his heart, he could not say it out loud. He could only ask the obvious, "Manager Yang, you have something to talk to me about?"
Sikong Bei knew about Manager Yang. He was specifically in charge of money on behalf of Shun Yao. It could be said that in the Great Northwest, apart from top figures like Shun Yao and Zhu Xi, he was the one with the greatest reputation.
It wasn't because of how strong he was. It was because he controlled the wealth of the Great Northwest. Every year, the various cities in the Great Northwest had to pay various taxes to the Divine King Hall. Although it wasn't a Divine Spirit Stone, there were many other resources.
And the one who had a complicated job was none other than Steward Yang.
Steward Yang smiled and said: "City Lord Sikong, rest assured. I'm not here to ask for money this time, but to deliver money! "
As expected, Sikong Bei quickly greeted him with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Yang! Please take a seat at the residence and have a cup of tea to rest! "
"Eh, eh, eh. . . Forget it! I have official business to attend to this time, not to mention that Lord Shun personally gave the order to deliver the money!"
As he spoke, a spiritual light flashed in his hand, and a sparkling Spatial Ring appeared.
Manager Yang stared at the Spatial Ring, a pained expression clearly visible in his eyes, but his gaze made Sikong Bei even more excited. It seemed that there were quite a few things inside.
This Shun Yao was quite sensible. He knew that they were short of money, so he took the initiative to send it over.
Moreover, he didn't disturb Lee Yixuan, but gave it to him. Obviously, he wanted to use his mouth to curry favor with Lee Yixuan.
Sikong Bei was also a smart person, so he naturally wouldn't offend Shun Yao. After taking the storage ring, he scanned it with his Divine Sense. When he saw that there were ten million Divine Spirit Stones and two divine artifacts inside, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
He hurriedly withdrew his Divine Sense and said in surprise: "Manager Yang. . . This is too expensive!"
"Eh. . . This is also a little bit of Lord Shun's goodwill. City Lord Sikong is a smart person. There's no need for me to say anything. I'll leave the matters on Mr. Li's side to you!"
Manager Yang was Shun Yao's absolute confidant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the power of finances to him, so he naturally trusted him.
It could be said that the two of them were wearing the same pants, both of them would live together, one would live together, and the other would suffer.
That was why Manager Yang did his best.
However, he also saw the expression on Shun Yao's face. Normally, he could even take off two buttons and obtain many benefits, but this time, seeing how serious and angry he was, he didn't dare to do anything that would fill his pocket.
However, Sikong Bei was naturally skilled in this. He directly took out twenty thousand God Spirit Stones and stuffed them into the old man's mouth as he said with a smile: "How would I dare to let Manager Yang come here for nothing? This bit of spirit stones will all be used as a gift, I will inform Mr. Li of this matter!"
