Chapter 1110: Giving you a promise
"That's it?"
"Why aren't they fighting?"
"Are they not going to compete for first place?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... let alone first place, no one is even competing for second or third place!"
"Truly strange!"
With this situation appearing, everyone outside was discussing it heatedly.
Even the Vice City Lords of the City Lord's Mansion were confused.
Unexpected.
They thought there would be a heaven-shaking battle, but there wasn't!
It was overly peaceful.
After a short moment of being dumbfounded, He Pingsheng instantly understood.
After all, these were the top ten of the Qiankun Immortal City; such people basically had no desire to show off anymore.
Since the top ten were all the same, and all could enter Star Emperor City to participate in the Grand Competition, why should I fight to the death?
That's right, the rewards were indeed different!
But... the rewards given by the City Lord's Mansion were probably not something many people could look down upon.
Some people were too lazy to fight, some saw He Pingsheng was powerful and felt they couldn't compete, and some wanted to hide something. Under these various reasons, the situation today was understandable.
"Alright!" Lord Judge waved his hand: "The rankings are set, please everyone exit!"
He Pingsheng returned to Suolin's side!
Then came the award ceremony.
As the first-place winner, He Pingsheng first received a reward of one million immortal crystals. Of course, this one million was in low-tier, which converted to mid-tier was only one hundred pieces.
Besides the immortal crystal reward, there was another second-tier immortal artifact.
This was a flying sword!
He Pingsheng didn't even look at it and directly threw the second-tier flying sword into his ring.
It would be fine to strengthen it when he had time later, but now, he didn't dare to use his Treasure-Gathering Immortal Basin.
"What will you do next?" Suolin looked at He Pingsheng: "I suggest you continue to live in the City Lord's Mansion until you head to Star Emperor City!"
"Otherwise, I fear someone will intercept and kill you!"
"Because fighting is prohibited in the Immortal City, as long as you are in the city, you should be safe!"
Suolin gave her suggestion.
He Pingsheng said: "Good, actually I was thinking the same thing!"
"For the next period of time, I will live in the City Lord's Mansion!"
"I won't go to Chu Sheng's house either!"
In He Pingsheng's view, the only safe place was the City Lord's Mansion under Qingyu's protection.
Even some places in the City Lord's Mansion weren't safe enough.
After all, some people, if they held a determination to die, would still dare to strike in the city.
"It's fine!" Chu Sheng said: "It's fine if you don't live in our house, but there is one thing I must make clear... when you head to Star Emperor City later, you must bring me; I want to go and see it!"
He Pingsheng smiled and reached out to pat Chu Sheng's shoulder: "Rest assured, I will definitely bring you along then!"
Xi Qingsheng walked over: "Congratulations, Nephew He!"
Although she passed the four basic stages, she didn't achieve any results in the Grand Competition because she was eliminated in the first round.
"Thank you!" He Pingsheng thought for a moment, then took out a few jade slips and gave them to Xi Qingsheng: "To tell you the truth, I used the second-tier immortal talismans in my hand to slaughter several Earth Immortal Stage cultivators before!"
"Even that 【Zhongyue Immortal】 from Mount Kunwu was killed by me!"
At this time, there was no need to hide anymore!
"Ah?" Suolin was extremely shocked to hear this news: "You you you... that Zhongyue fellow was actually you..."
She looked in disbelief.
After a pause, Suolin asked in a low voice: "When did this happen?"
He Pingsheng said: "Not long after he came to our Immortal Sect that time!"
After finishing, He Pingsheng continued to look at Xi Qingsheng: "These jade slips were all obtained after I slaughtered those Earth Immortal Stage immortals!"
"The immortal methods and immortal arts within are extraordinary. If you can cultivate them, do so; if you cannot, you can pass them on to disciples in the sect with talent!"
"Thank you, Nephew He!" Xi Qingsheng naturally accepted them happily.
For He Pingsheng, he had already decided not to return to the Red Lotus Immortal Valley.
These immortal methods and immortal arts were all strengthened by his Treasure-Gathering Basin, and each one was Heavenly Tier.
It could be considered a conclusion to the karma with the Red Lotus Immortal Valley.
"Everyone... goodbye!"
After finishing, He Pingsheng bowed and left directly, going to Qingyu's side hall to cultivate.
Suolin took the others and hurried away from the City Lord's Mansion, walking toward Chu Sheng's house.
They also had to pack their things and return to the sect.
"Fellow Daoist He... Fellow Daoist He, wait a moment..."
He Pingsheng had just walked two steps when he heard a hurried shout from behind.
He stopped and turned his head, only to see a Human Immortal Stage male cultivator running toward him with a smile.
He Pingsheng recognized this person; he was the fellow who sold the number 999 token to Yun Zhongzi.
"It's you?"
He Pingsheng looked at the other party with a calm expression, showing no emotion.
The man gave a hehe smile: "Fellow Daoist He... this... congratulations on winning first place in the entire Grand Competition; it truly commands respect!"
"The previous matter was my fault; I shouldn't have sold that token to that fellow!"
"Otherwise, I would have had the honor to spar with you, the first-place winner, right?"
"Hehehe... these are the fifty-four mid-tier immortal crystals obtained from selling the token. Speaking of which, the reason I could make this windfall was because you were secretly helping me!"
"Look... how should we split it?"
"Hehehe... hehehe..."
The man was a bit awkward and looked at He Pingsheng cautiously, his eyes and expression full of a desire to survive.
Although he hadn't offended He Pingsheng, he had some connection to He Pingsheng in this regard. Seeing He Pingsheng sweep everything away and finally win first place, it was only natural for him to feel uneasy.
At this moment, he only hoped to take out some money to avert disaster, hoping He Pingsheng wouldn't trouble him.
Actually, He Pingsheng had long forgotten his existence.
But now that you've come to my door yourself, I won't stand on ceremony.
"What you said is not wrong!" He Pingsheng said: "At least, if I hadn't driven up the price, this mere token would definitely not have sold for fifty-four mid-tier immortal crystals!"
"Let's do this, half each!"
He Pingsheng took twenty-seven mid-tier immortal crystals and turned to leave.
It wasn't that he was greedy for money, but he knew that if he didn't take these immortal crystals, this fellow opposite probably wouldn't have a good second half of his life.
Making people feel at ease can also be considered a kind of cultivation.
Sometimes, one should be more magnanimous.
"Hehehehe..." He Pingsheng had just gotten rid of that cultivator when he was stopped by someone else.
This person was Wu Zhanyun.
He looked at He Pingsheng with a smile: "Congratulations, He Pingsheng. I said long ago that even without a direct entry quota, you would definitely be able to head to Star Emperor City with your own strength!"
"It really was as I guessed!"
"Rest assured, I didn't come to trouble you today; I only came to give you a promise!" ===== CHAPTER 1111 =====
