Chapter 1173: Fear (IV)
“What??” The powerhouses jerked with surprise. “That cannot be permitted!”
“Battle Heaven has not fully revitalized,” said the old turtle. “Firstly, if we force it to activity, it might loosen the seal when we yank the city out of its position that stabilizes the world. Secondly, it’s easy to enter a dao universe but hard to leave it. If we are unable to leave it...”
“A city is dead, it is the people that are alive!” Li Hao responded. “There is one major benefit to doing so—we can outright eliminate all of the Red Moon power within the city! Battle Heaven has long been strong and it bears the two characters from the Exalted Blood Emperor. It will not collapse upon entering the Hao Cosmos!
“We can work together to move the city into the dao universe. That will ensure that we have a headquarters in the Hao Cosmos! There are many opportunities in a new dao universe, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing!
“As for the seal loosening, it shouldn’t! The crux of the seal depends on the Sword City. It will not break so long as Sword City stands...”
The powerhouses exchanged glances with each other, finding all of them to be grappling with headaches. Giving way once made room for Li Hao to advance further. He asked for so much now that they hesitated and were conflicted.
If they continued to give way, they would be offering up their own homes. But they’d given way so many times already, did they stop now?
As expected, setting a precedent was only the start of many more to come. Li Hao... was growing ever more skilled at manipulating people’s hearts.
“I also have another idea—we can fix Battle Heaven to the entrance,” Li Hao continued. “Once strong foes pursue me and chase me to the Hao Cosmos, Battle Heaven can outright crush them! Isn’t that a grand idea?
“This will also grant everyone a greater degree of safety as you won’t even need to venture into the ruins with your primary self. That will head off any danger from occurring to you. The Hao Cosmos will be our home turf. With the Hao Cosmos dao, New Martial powerhouses, and the aid of an ancient city, even an Empyrean King will have to meet his end with a look of bitter hatred!”
“Ah... didn’t you take Boundless?” the Ninth Division leader couldn’t help but ask.
