Human beings are in a state of deception, and immortality begins with the secret book of origami.

Chapter 397 King of the East Sea: Even if I die, even if I die outside, I will never reconcile with Mu Lin!
Cleansing the mark of the King of the East Sea and refining the Mountain, River and State Cauldron, Mu Lin was very busy here.

In Tianhai City, the impact of the death of the earthly immortal gradually became apparent here.

At the same time, the city was in complete chaos.

Well, before the impact of the Earth Immortal’s death reached here, Tianhai City was already in chaos.

The Yan and Chu families, the northern and southern nobles, the worshippers of the Daling Dynasty... the arrival of so many earthly immortals could not be concealed, and they had no intention of hiding it.

Therefore, the cultivators in Tianhai City soon discovered that many earth immortals had come to Tianhai City and confronted the King of the East China Sea.

This special situation of confrontation between the earthly immortals made countless people open their eyes wide. After hearing the news, many aristocratic families from other places also sent spies here. The arrival of these people made Tianhai City even more lively.

At the same time, numerous speculations echoed throughout Tianhai City.

"So many earth immortals are coming here in broad daylight. What happened?"

"I know. It is said that these people came for Mulin. They want to rescue Mulin."

"Ugh?"

This surprised many people, and some people even said:
"Wait, this isn't right? I remember that Mu Lin was born in a poor family and had no family background. How did he attract so many earthly immortals to protect him?"

"What's so strange about this? Mu Lin does not have a family background, but he is very talented. He is the number one genius among the northern and southern nobles, and can even be called the number one genius of the human race. There are many forces that are optimistic about his future and want to do him a favor... If it weren't for this incident, our King of the East Sea would also be very optimistic about Mu Lin and even thought of marrying his daughter to him."

"Forehead……"

Many people were unable to refute the monk's words.

At the same time, they also recognized Mu Lin's title as the number one prodigy of the human race - he alone destroyed the entire Golden God Sect and frightened countless noble families. If he could not become the number one prodigy of the human race, the people of Tianhai City could not imagine how strong the number one prodigy of the human race could be.

After a moment of silence, someone asked with a complicated expression, "So, Mu Lin will leave our East Sea Kingdom safely?"

"I think so. With so many earthly immortals, even the King of the East Sea should give some respect."

The arrival of so many earthly immortals made many cultivators feel that Mu Lin could leave safely, but more people held a veto.

"It's not that simple. These people did come, but if they fell out with the King of the East Sea, they might die here. I don't think they would put themselves in danger of life and death for Mu Lin."

"I have the same idea. These people came here to talk about peace at most. But if the King of East China Sea stubbornly refuses to retreat, few people will dare to take action... And Mu Lin has trampled the King of East China Sea's face into the mud these days. There is no way our prince will retreat..."

After some discussion, many people were not optimistic about Mulin's future, and their speculation was very reasonable.

On the other side, the King of Donghai had the same thoughts as many people in Tianhai City.

He also felt that the many cultivators before him could only serve to enhance their prestige, but there was no way they would die for Mu Lin.

"Humph, Earth Immortals are the most noble people in the world today, and they are the foundation and face of the aristocratic families. With you, your family will be safe. Once you die, your family may fall. I don't believe that you will fight me to the death for a mere Mu Lin."

With this idea in mind, no matter how the other side tried to persuade him, the King of East China Sea remained extremely tough.

"Your Majesty, it is better to reconcile with your enemies than to make them together. Reconciling with Mu Lin will be a great thing that will benefit the country and the human race..."

King of the East Sea: "Stop talking, it's impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if I die outside, I will never reconcile with Mu Lin!"

"In this world, either he or I, or I or he!"

"If you really care about the world, then you should help me kill the traitor Mu Lin. This is the best way to reduce the losses of the human race!"

The nobles from the north and south used justice to pressure him, but the King of Donghai was no pushover and in turn used justice to gain benefits for himself.

At the same time, in order to make his attitude clear, he stated his hostility towards Mu Lin in a decisive manner, without any hesitation and leaving no room for retreat.

However, just as he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" and the dragon vein controlled by the East Sea Palace suddenly shook.

The violent shaking caused the entire East Sea Palace to tremble, and an ominous premonition appeared in the heart of the King of East Sea.

However, although he had a bad premonition, the King of the East Sea did not panic, nor did he show any strange expression. Instead, he snorted coldly and ordered his subordinates: "What happened?"

His question was answered soon, but the face of the manager who came to report was full of anxiety and fear.

"Report, Your Majesty, the ground veins are shaking because, because..."

The steward's hesitation and indecision made the King of the East China Sea feel more and more uncertain, and his expression became extremely gloomy.

"Say!"

"Yes... Your Majesty, the ground veins are shaking because of the Second Master, he passed away."

"?!!"

Such an answer was completely beyond the expectations of the King of the East China Sea, and it made his pupils shrink and his heart was full of disbelief.

"How is it possible? How can Mu Lin kill the Earth Immortal?"

"He is only a Transcendent Mortal. No matter how strong he is, he can only contend with Earthly Immortals. It is absolutely impossible to kill him."

"Also, even though I've left, there are still four earthly immortals chasing after Mu Lin. With mutual support, they can destroy a vassal state. How can Mu Lin kill him?"

The death of his second master puzzled the King of Donghai. He was so confused that he even set his sights on the northern and southern nobles and the Daling Dynasty.

Obviously, he felt like Jin Haoran, who had just heard about the death of the Earth Immortal, that Mu Lin could not have killed the Earth Immortal, and that there must be other driving forces behind the death of his second grandfather.

As for the north and south...the southern gentry, and the Daling Dynasty, they have deep interests entangled with him. It would be reasonable for them to send people to help Mu Lin and kill the earth immortals he sent over.

"But how dare they do that? Assassinating the Earth Immortal, whether successful or not, will tear my face apart..."

He couldn't figure it out, and the nobles in the north and south, as well as the earth immortals of the Daling Dynasty, they... couldn't figure it out either.

At the same time, these people also did not believe that Mu Lin could kill the earth immortal alone.

Therefore, everyone's eyes were moving around, looking for the person who did it.

Among them, the Yan and Chu families, the Liang Palace, the Daling Dynasty, and the Yuqing Sect were the ones who were seen the most times. Obviously, everyone suspected them.

They also have the motive to do something dirty.

However, soon, the Great Spirit Dynasty's worshiper shook his head and said, "Don't look at me. The central government assassinating a local prince is a taboo. Once this kind of thing is confirmed, it will make all the princes in the world uneasy and cause chaos in the world. Therefore, when we came here, His Majesty instructed that we are only here to mediate, not to take action."

The representative of Yuqing Sect: "It's not me either. My Yuqing Sect is a sect, not a prince... As long as you recognize my sect's status in the Southeast Province, we don't really care who becomes the prince."

The Yan and Chu families…they looked at each other, coughed, and said with a little embarrassment: "It's not us. The one who is connected with Mu Lin is just a concubine in the family…she can't let us put pressure on the whole family."

Prince Liang’s Mansion: “It’s not me either. Ahem, we are four earthly immortals. We don’t have the strength to do that.”

In order to avoid being targeted by the King of the East China Sea, all the earth immortals who came over spoke up to sever their ties.

However, after getting rid of the relationship, everyone found that the situation seemed to have become even more serious.

"No way……"

"If we didn't take action, could it be that Mu Lin really killed the Earth Immortal alone?"

"But how is this possible? A mortal being killed by an earthly immortal, this hasn't happened in thousands of years."

"He is not just an ordinary Transcendent. Mu Lin just entered the Transcendent stage, and within a few days, he came to the East Sea Kingdom..."

The latter fact was so shocking that it shattered their three views. At this moment, everyone had some hope that someone was secretly helping Mu Lin.

However, after some speculation, they found that unless Mu Lin secretly surrendered and signed a soul contract, no one would dare to gamble so much - the aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years are only arrogant to the lower classes, and the decisions they make for people of the same level are very prudent.

……

The death of the earthly immortal was too exaggerated, causing a group of people in the East Sea Palace to brainstorm.

Just as they were thinking about it but hadn't figured anything out, there was a "boom" and the dragon vein in the East Sea Kingdom began to shake again.

Two consecutive violent shakes have affected reality.

Many cities that were connected to the dragon veins were shaking as if an earthquake had occurred, and countless houses collapsed.

Even in Tianhai City, the ground cracked and houses collapsed.

However, at this moment, no matter whether it was the King of the East Sea, the nobles of the north and south, or the worshippers of the Great Spirit Dynasty, they were in no mood to pay attention to such a trivial matter as the collapse of a house.

Looking at the shaking in front of them and thinking about what had just happened, everyone understood - another earthly immortal had died.

Considering that only the earthly immortals of the kings and princes would connect themselves with the dragon veins, other people were not qualified at all. The shaking of the earth veins now obviously foreshadowed the death of the second earthly immortal of the East China Sea Palace.

And everyone also knew that the earth immortals sent by the King of the East China Sea were two people from the King's Palace of the East China Sea, plus two recruited outsiders.

Now, the earth immortal of the East Sea Palace has died, but the two outsiders are still alive. This has caused some changes in everyone's mentality.

"Hey, tell me, is it possible that it wasn't us who secretly helped, but the clans of the East Sea Kingdom who secretly took action?"

This is naturally... very possible.

The struggle between royal power, prime ministerial power, and the aristocratic families was extremely fierce.

So many emperors of the Ming Dynasty fell into the water and died. It's not that they would dissolve in water... Therefore, it is understandable that some aristocratic families secretly took action to reduce the power of the King of East China Sea and expand their own power.

Of course, some people are speculating about who was behind the attack.

Others looked at the King of the East China Sea with amusement and expectation.

"It doesn't matter who made the move. Two earthly immortals have died in succession, and both of them were from the East Sea Palace. Their control over the power of the East Sea Kingdom will inevitably decline."

"After this incident, few earthly immortals dare to provoke Mu Lin. After all, as the King of the East China Sea said just now, earthly immortals are the face and pillar of a family. The death of an earthly immortal can cause the family to fall. No matter which earthly immortal, even if they are not considering themselves, they must consider the family... Their clansmen will not let their own earthly immortals take such a big risk."

"Indeed. Moreover, the declining power of the East Sea Palace cannot force others to take action."

"Hehe, there's something interesting to watch... I'm a little curious about how the King of the East Sea will implement his decision of 'either him or me, or me or him'."

"I'm curious too."
