Chapter 1498 - Reaching An Agreement
The two elders seated far in the back rose to their feet at once, and a terrifying aura burned through their eyes. All three stood at the Quasi-Immortal Realm, and any one of them could have killed Liu Wuxie with a single breath.
Both sides held a silent standoff, and neither moved an inch.
"How do you know about that?" the floating head asked after drawing a deep breath. His body had already vanished completely, leaving only his head behind, and the moment that head disappeared, his lifespan would reach its end.
"I know more than you think. I even know that the three of you are afflicted with the death curse, and your lifespans bleed away with every passing moment. If you three want to keep living, your only option is to borrow lives," Liu Wuxie said. He had no intention of explaining how he knew.
The three elders exchanged looks, and shock flashed unmistakably in each of their eyes.
"Since you know all that, you should also know that your life belongs to us from the moment you step into Death Mountain."
No one had come to Death Mountain for thousands of years, and the three elders had almost no time left. They could only continue living by borrowing another person's life.
Liu Wuxie had reached the sixth-level Void Realm, and his lifespan stretched long. If they could borrow his life, they could continue living for a very long time.
"You can't borrow my life. You can give it a try if you want," Liu Wuxie said with a faint smirk. Stripping his life was nearly impossible, and he had to be the first person bold enough to provoke the three elders in this way.
The eldest was called Tian Can, the second Di Can, and the third Ren Can. Di Can stood on the left, limbless, while Ren Can had it worst of all—his arms remained, but someone had severed his body at the waist and stripped him of the ability to reproduce.
The three elders wore strange expressions the moment they heard Liu Wuxie's reply. For countless years, everyone who had visited had treated them with reverence and begged for mercy, yet the trio had claimed every life without exception, and their corpses now lay deep under the Deadwater.
The three elders were also bound to this mountain, and if they ever left, their lifespan would burn away in an instant. Over the years, they had accumulated unimaginable wealth, all piled within Death Mountain.
