Eternal Life: I hold the door to eternal life

In the southwest of Daxuan City, in the main hall of a luxurious mansion, the leader of the Shashen League, Weng Sha, was talking with his men. Suddenly, a handsome man in a yellow robe and brocade clothes, with a high spirit, strode into the main hall from the courtyard outside the hall.

When Wengsha saw this person, he hurriedly walked out of the hall to greet him, respectfully welcomed him into the hall and sat him down in the main seat, and said nervously: "If the Second Prince has something to do, he can just send someone to call me over. How dare I trouble the Second Prince to come in person? This is really embarrassing for me..."

"No problem!" The second prince waved his hand and smiled, "I just came out of the palace after meeting my father. I haven't been to the 'Evil God Alliance' for a long time, so I came to take a look."

"Haha..." Weng Sha saw that the Second Prince was in high spirits today, and said with a flattering smile: "I always tell my brothers how heroic and extraordinary the Second Prince is, and how respectful he is to others. My brothers have admired the Second Prince for a long time, so I will arrange a banquet to give my brothers a chance to get close to the Second Prince."

"Just make the arrangements as you see fit." The Second Prince said without comment, and then continued, "Today, my father has bestowed upon me a wood-related magical power. I heard that you have a wood-related treasure in your hand. Can you show it to me?"

"So it's for this matter! The Second Prince has always been generous. If this useless piece of wood can please the Second Prince, it can be exchanged for a lot of rewards." Weng Sha was secretly happy, and his hands moved quickly. He immediately took out a piece of wood that was half a person's height and had no aura and placed it in front of the Second Prince.

"Second Prince, this is the wood treasure I got by chance. Don't look at this piece of wood as having no energy, but it is incomparably strong because it cannot be cut by a knife, soaked in water, or burned. A few days ago, Huang Wuya of the Savage Demon Sect wanted to exchange this item from me, but his offer was too stingy, so I rejected it. Fortunately, I didn't make a big mistake and delay the Second Prince's important event."

The Second Prince only smiled slightly at Weng Sha's flattering words, and then turned his attention to the wood in front of him. After sensing it for a while, the Second Prince shook his head in disappointment: "This piece of wood does not have a trace of wood energy. It is of no benefit to my cultivation of magical powers..."

When the Second Prince said this, he suddenly thought of what Weng Sha had said before, and raised his eyebrows: "You just said that Huang Wuya of the Savage Demon Sect wanted this piece of wood?"

Seeing that the Second Prince had lost interest in the wood, Weng Sha could not hide his disappointment. When he heard the Second Prince mention Huang Wuya, he was moved and said, "Yes, Huang Wuya also found out from somewhere that I had such a piece of wood, and he found me a few days ago. But I thought about the fact that the Great Xuan Royal Family wanted to use the Savage Temple to enter the Five Elements Land, but was blocked by the Savage Demon Sect. So he wanted to trick Huang Wuya, so he offered a sky-high price of 50 million Baiyang Pills. Although Huang Wuya felt that my price was too high, he did not refuse it outright. He seemed to be quite interested in this piece of wood!"

“Hahaha, you dare to ask for a sky-high price of fifty million Baiyang Pills for such a broken piece of wood. If Huang Wuya really bought it, wouldn’t he be a fool?” The second prince laughed heartily and said, “However, you have made a great contribution. Now, my Great Xuan Royal Family is extremely dissatisfied with the Savage Demon Sect because of the previous matter of borrowing the road from the Savage Demon Sect. If you can make the outstanding disciple of the Savage Demon Sect suffer a great loss at this time, you will definitely be rewarded by the Royal Elders.”

"Now, although the eldest prince has lost power, there is no need to worry. But there are still a few powerful princes in the royal family who are eyeing the throne of the Great Xuan Empire. I must not take it lightly. If this matter is handled well, it can add some reputation to me." The second prince slowly stroked the wood in front of him, muttered to himself thoughtfully, and suddenly asked.

"When will Huang Wuya come to look for you again?"

"This..." Huang Wuya only said that day that he would think about it, but did not say when he would come again. Weng Sha was about to answer truthfully when he saw a younger brother of the Sha Shen League hurriedly walked into the hall and reported.

"Reporting to the leader, the Savage Demon Sect's Huang Wuya is outside with a scholar in blue asking for a meeting."

Wengsha immediately looked at the second prince in surprise. The second prince raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Haha, what a coincidence, I was just thinking of meeting this person, and he came to my door on his own. Please invite them in."

The person who came to report heard this and looked up at Weng Sha, obviously waiting for Weng Sha's order. Weng Sha was shocked when he saw this.

Wengsha was usually very strict in ruling his subordinates, but he was also very protective of his subordinates. He was an expert in using the method of using a big stick in one hand and a sweet date in the other to control his subordinates. Therefore, his prestige in the Shashen League was unmatched, and the people in the Shashen League were convinced by him and always followed Wengsha's lead. If the second prince was not there, this person's performance would naturally make Wengsha very satisfied. But the person sitting in the hall was the second prince, who could decide whether the Shashen League could continue to exist in the Great Xuan Empire with just one word. How could he not be surprised?

The overall strength of the Sha Shen League is indeed not weak. There are five Jindan great cultivators in the league, including Weng Sha. Such strength is already the top existence in the world of independent cultivators. But independent cultivators are independent cultivators after all. Weng Sha knows that if the Sha Shen League had not been backed by the Second Prince, it would definitely not have achieved what it has today. If the Second Prince feels that his reputation in the Sha Shen League is irreplaceable, the Second Prince may not do anything to the Sha Shen League, but he will definitely make him, the leader of the league, disappear from this world and replace him with someone who the Second Prince can fully control.

Weng Sha's forehead was already sweating, and he didn't dare to look at the Second Prince's expression. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. In just a breath, Weng Sha had made a decision.

Wengsha's expression turned fierce, and with a wave of his hand, a vast and unparalleled magical power blasted towards the person who reported. The poor person who reported only had time to show a trace of horror before he was blasted out of the hall by Wengsha, and then exploded into a puff of blood mist in the courtyard outside the hall.

After Wengsha struck, he immediately bowed and said to the Second Prince, "This person has just joined the sect and does not know who the real master of our Shashen League is. Please forgive me, Second Prince. I will personally lead Huang Wuya to meet you."

After saying this, Weng Sha just stood there motionless, quietly waiting for the Second Prince's instructions.

The second prince raised his lips, without saying a word about what happened before. He waved his hand to collect the wood in front of him, then stood up and walked out, saying lightly: "Huang Wuya is also an outstanding disciple in the Savage Devil Sect who has great hope of succeeding the position of the Supreme Master of the Savage Devil Sect. If we really talk about status, he is much more noble than me, a prince of the Great Xuan Empire. I'd better go and greet him in person, so that others won't say that I don't know etiquette."

Upon hearing this, Weng Sha became even more flustered. The second prince's last sentence, "you don't know etiquette", was clearly a warning to him.

Weng Sha quickly turned around and followed him, saying with great trepidation, "The Second Prince is indeed very broad-minded. I was originally a cultivator in the wilds, but I have the life I have today because of the Second Prince's support and care for me. In my heart, the Second Prince is my heaven. Even if Huang Wuya really ascends to the position of the head of the Savage Devil Sect, in my eyes, he is not as valuable as a hair of the Second Prince."

Wengsha was a smart man. His words not only showed his gratitude and loyalty, but also elevated the status of the Second Prince. After hearing this, the Second Prince's expression also relaxed, and the unhappiness in his heart also dissipated a little. But on the surface, the Second Prince acted as if he had not heard it, and walked out of the hall without saying a word.

Soon, the Second Prince welcomed Huang Wuya and Fang Han, who had transformed into a scholar, in. Everyone sat down in the hall, divided into host and guest. Huang Wuya did not introduce Fang Han's identity, but said directly: "I came here just to discuss a deal with Fellow Daoist Weng. I didn't expect to see the Second Prince here, which really surprised me."

Just as the Second Prince said, although he was of an extremely noble status in the Great Xuan Empire, he was not good enough in front of Huang Wuya. After a few polite words, Huang Wuya directly said to Weng Sha: "Fellow Daoist Weng, can you take out that piece of wood so that I can check it again and see if it is useful to me."

"Haha, let's not talk about this." Weng Sha laughed, "I didn't know that my master needed a wood treasure before, so I took out the wood to trade with Fellow Daoist Huang. Now, I have presented the wood to my master. Fortunately, I didn't make any agreement with Fellow Daoist Huang before. But Fellow Daoist Huang has made a wasted trip."

Huang Wuya frowned upon hearing this. He had not expected that the Second Prince would be involved in this matter. He looked at the Second Prince and said, "It turns out that this item has fallen into the hands of the Second Prince. I wonder if the Second Prince can take it out and let me see it?"

Huang Wuya originally thought that, given his status and position in the Savage Demon Sect, the Second Prince would not refuse such a small request.

The second prince asked, "Based on what Fellow Daoist Huang has seen before, why do you want to confirm it again and again? Is there something special about this thing?"

Huang Wuya thought that the Second Prince was going to raise the price, so he said, "There are so many rare treasures in the world. Although the wood is a little strange, I dare not assert that it will be useful to me. I came here just to confirm it. How come the Second Prince is unwilling to meet even my small request?"

As Huang Wuya spoke, he already had a hint of anger in his voice.

The second prince thought to himself, "I want to use this piece of wood to make Huang Wuya fall. If I don't take it out, I can't be sure whether Huang Wuya really needs it. It will be difficult to carry out the next plan."

Thinking of this, the second prince waved his hand, and the piece of wood half a man's height appeared in front of everyone again.

As soon as the wood appeared, the World Tree in Fang Han's body suddenly shook, and a sense of excitement spread. Fang Han was immediately delighted, and after a little thought, he immediately waved his hand and threw out a stream of magic power, which rolled directly towards the wood.
