Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 739: How Did He Actually Die?

"Kind of, I guess."

Even though Brother Cheng's current power made handling Immortal Emperors no big deal, he didn't truly consider himself an Immortal Emperor.

After all, he hadn't yet gained recognition from any Heart of Rule, nor become the Dominator of any rule.

Kind of?

Han Ling interpreted it as being a hair's breadth away from a Quasi-Emperor.

In her view, this was already incredibly formidable.

Enough to make everyone in the Snow Spirit Sect look up to him.

Moments later, Han Rong, Han Zhuo, and other experts from the Snow Spirit Sect hurried over.

Upon seeing the scene, everyone's expressions were inexplicably colorful.

"Pu Feng!"

"Liu Xi!"

"What are they doing here?"

"Has the Jisheng Sect launched a massive invasion?"

"Who let this information leak!"

With their own rear mountain sacred ground infiltrated like a sieve, one can imagine how they felt.

Han Rong was both shocked and enraged.

This was no trivial matter.

It meant that an enemy sect could at any time break into the Snow Spirit Sect, which made his heart race.

Especially now, since the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain was incredibly sensitive and important.

If this information leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Dead!"

"They're all dead!"

Upon close inspection and verification, these people lapsed into confusion again.

"Who did this?"

"Who accomplished such a feat?"

The complete wipeout of senior members of an enemy sect was supposed to be a tremendously good thing for the Snow Spirit Sect.

But now, they couldn't find joy in it.

Because the means were too terrifying, making them feel as if there were prickles on their back, sending shivers down their spines.

"Could there be a super expert secretly eyeing this Treasure Mountain?"

"It must be so; we're doomed..."

The Elders were utterly terrified, feeling as if the ground beneath them was no longer safe.

But Great Elder Han Zhuo had a different perspective.

"If he's so strong, then why not just take this Treasure Mountain away?"

This...

Everyone thought he had a point.

This Treasure Mountain would drive even an Immortal Emperor crazy.

There's no reason to leave it here, right?

Moreover, none of the Snow Spirit Sect's disciples present were killed.

All the controlled disciples had their restraints lifted and were then questioned.

Soon, the Elders learned of the recent events.

The beginning matched their speculations; the Jisheng Sect successfully infiltrated here, intending to steal the mountain.

But what happened next baffled everyone.

Liu Xi inexplicably fell down.

Then all the enemies also inexplicably fell down.

"Just like that?"

Han Rong felt like these disciples were insulting his intelligence.

"Do you think I'm that easily fooled?"

"That's an Immortal King!"

"They died just like that, without any fight?"

"Is that possible?"

"Even if an Immortal Emperor wanted to kill an Immortal King, they would at least make one move, right?"

Under his relentless questioning, the disciples eventually directed their gazes at Han Ling.

Because, at that time, she had inexplicably shouted a couple of times.

This was considered the only odd occurrence.

Facing the sharp gazes of the Sect Leader and all the gathered Elders, Han Ling shrank her head a bit, feeling somewhat intimidated.

She didn't forget to secretly transmit her question to Brother Cheng, "Can I mention you?"

"As you wish."

Now that the Element Gathering Array was complete, and this area was within an absolutely controlled Domain,

nobody could interrupt his recovery process.

Brother Cheng simply didn't care about being exposed.

With his permission, Han Ling answered boldly, "It's because of the Old Mountain God!"

"Mountain God?"

"What the hell?"

Han Rong and the other experts were utterly baffled.

Han Ling had to patiently explain, "There's a Mountain God inside the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain, he's very powerful, and it was him who killed all those enemies just now."

As soon as she said this, everyone was so frightened they quickly flew away.

At a safer distance, they cautiously looked back at Han Ling, who was still standing nearby.

"Are you serious?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Where is the Mountain God?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him."

"You haven't seen him, so how do you know there's a Mountain God?"

"I heard his voice."

Han Rong took a deep breath, cautiously eyeing the mountain, "Can you ask him to show himself?"

Han Ling quickly used voice transmission, "Old Mountain God, could you come out and see our Sect Leader?"

Brother Cheng's true form was sealed inside there.

Moreover, he had no interest in meeting others.

Dealing only with this little snow spirit meant that once he'd broken free in the future, he only needed to repay her favor.

If he dealt with everyone, many more complications might arise later on.

So he arrogantly refused, "Is the Handsome Guy of the Immortal World someone anyone can meet? No way!"

"Oh come on, just meet them..."

Brother Cheng just went silent, utterly ignoring her.

Which nearly drove Han Ling crazy.

If you don't prove it, they'll think I'm lying!

Faced with the suspicious and scrutinizing gazes of the Sect Leader and Elders, she couldn't help but begin to speak out loud.

"Come out, Old Mountain God!"

"How could you do this? I've treated you well, how can you act like this?"

"I was wrong, Handsome Guy of the Immortal World, I beg you to please come out and prove yourself!"

"Even if you can't appear, just grunt or something..."

She called out many times, but Brother Cheng didn't respond at all.

Han Rong, Han Zhuo, and the other Elders looked at each other.

This didn't seem right!

If there really existed such a powerful Mountain God in the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain, how could he possibly allow Han Ling to speak with him in such a manner?

And in the first place, is there even such a powerful entity in the world?

Upon careful consideration, if there really were a Mountain God, how could this mountain have been brought back by them without issue?

Clearly, there's more to the demise of the Jisheng Sect expedition than meets the eye.

Possibly they were bewitched, or poisoned, or some other supernatural event...

"Enough!"

Seeing Han Ling still calling out, Han Rong impatiently interrupted her.

"I think you're having hallucinations, what Mountain God, such nonsense!"

"Exactly, never heard of a mountain having a Mountain God."

"Honestly, you gave us a scare!"

"Don't do this again next time!"

The Elders surrounded the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain, examined it several more times, and eventually found nothing.

After they left, the other guarding disciples quickly gathered around. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Han Ling, you haven't really gone mad, have you?"

"Hehehe, a Mountain God, you're quite the storyteller."

"The Sect Leader is furious because of you..."

Being laughed at by her companions left Han Ling both angry and embarrassed.

At that moment, Brother Cheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke again.

His mocking laughter echoed once again in the depths of her Sea of Souls.

"Did they leave already? Why not stay a little longer?"

And this guy dared to show up again?

"Why didn't you make a sound earlier?" she angrily questioned him.

Completely forgetting he was a super strong person.

Brother Cheng was very lenient towards this little snow spirit who had helped him and deliberately teased her, "They aren't worthy of a personal meeting with someone as noble as myself, are they?"

"You, you, you, you're driving me crazy!"

Han Ling felt helpless against him, ultimately all she could do was run up to the Celestial Crystal Mountain and give it a few angry kicks.

Only to hurt her own foot in the process.

Seeing this, the other disciples couldn't help but show expressions of sympathy.

Crazy, it really seemed like Han Ling had gone mad.
