At the same time, Wang Mang’s strength fell from the peak of the first level of the Saint Emperor realm to the peak of the eighth level of the Zenith Heaven realm.
Coupled with the fact that the fake Immortal Emperor Mask’s aura was almost the same as the original’s, even the two third-level Saint Emperor realm experts did not notice anything unusual.
The moment Wang Mang threw out the Immortal Emperor Mask, the two of them were stunned.
Wu Shi was also deceived. He immediately said in grief and anger, “Master, you can’t!”
Similarly, North Vice-City Lord Luo Xu was also furious.
“City Lord!”
Seeing the Immortal Emperor Mask that was flying over, the blue-haired middle-aged man was overjoyed, and he subconsciously rushed forward and prepared to put the mask away.
However, moments later, his expression changed drastically when he sensed that the other third-level Saint Emperor realm expert was attacking him.
However, he still gritted his teeth and grabbed the mask without hesitation. At the same time, he quickly turned around and hurriedly unleashed a palm strike.
The two attacks collided, and the blue-haired man spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. He laughed loudly and fled into the distance.
“How dare you! Don’t run!”
The middle-aged man who attacked was instantly enraged. After roaring, he pursued the blue-haired man.
Similarly, the other three first-level Saint Emperor realm experts looked at each other briefly, before chasing after the pair without any hesitation.
This was only to be expected. Regardless of whether they were allies before, once someone obtained the Immortal Emperor Mask, that alliance would instantly collapse.
Wang Mang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the five Saint Emperor realm experts disappear.
“Master, you’re so muddle-headed! If you lose the Immortal Emperor Mask, your strength will be greatly reduced, and the gains will not make up for the losses!”
At this moment, Wu Shi could not help but shake his head and sigh.
Similarly, the North Vice-City Lord’s brows were tightly knitted.
If Wang Mang had escaped, he would not have looked down on him. After all, it was a five-versus-one situation, and the difference in strength was too great. However, Wang Mang had handed over his supreme treasure without a fight. This made him somewhat look down on Wang Mang.
He even wondered how Wang Mang had obtained the Immortal Emperor Mask. Seeing their confused gazes, Wang Mang did not explain.
On the contrary, Wang Mang suddenly looked helpless and sighed.
“It seems that I’m not fated with the Immortal Emperor Mask. I shouldn’t have used it so casually. It’s a magnet for disaster.”
“Fortunately, I’ve gotten rid of it and it’s someone else’s problem now.”
After hearing Wang Meng’s words, the North Vice-City Lord’s heart bled.
He really wanted to say to Wang Mang, “If you think it’s a problem, then just give it to me! I’m willing to bear that problem!”
Unfortunately, what was done was done. Even if he wanted to, he would not have the chance to do so.
At the same time, Wang Mang asked the North Vice-City Lord, “Luo Xu, do you want to be the North City Lord?”
Hearing this, the North Vice-City Lord was stunned.
What did Wang Mang mean by this?
Was he testing his loyalty?
Thinking this, Luo Xu’s face suddenly turned serious, “Don’t worry, City Lord. No matter what happens, the Luo family will always stand on your side.” Hearing this, Wang Mang was stunned. He immediately realized that this guy had misunderstood.
Thinking this, Wang Mang waved his hand and said, “1 know you are very loyal, but 1 want to ask you, are you interested in the position of City Lord?”
“If you are interested in the City Lord position, you only need to give me 500 million immortal stones and 1 will give it to you.”
Luo Xu finally realized that Wang Mang was not testing his loyalty.
Instead, he really wanted to sell the position of City Lord!
However, that was 500 million immortal stones!
Even though the Luo Clan was also very powerful in the northern district, it could not afford so many immortal stones!
However, he was indeed tempted by the position.
If he could become the North City Lord, he would be able to make 100 million immortal stones or more every year.
Thinking this, Luo Xu hesitated for a long time before saying helplessly, “City Lord, 500 million immortal stones is too much.”
“Even if our Luo family goes bankrupt, we can only put together 200 million.”
Wang Mang’s eyes lit up. The price he had offered was just an opening gambit, and he was more than willing to settle for less. After all, he was going to leave Qingmu City, so whatever he sold the position for would be equivalent to free money.
Wang Mang then said, “Very well, since youl have seen your loyalty.”
“How about this? Two hundred million immortal stones. If you can gather them and hand them over to me today, the position of North City Lord will be yours.”
Hearing this, Luo Xu’s eyes immediately lit up. Then, he hurriedly said, “Thank you, City Lord. I’ll go collect the immortal stones now and send them to the City Lord’s Mansion before sunset.”
Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. “Go!”
After that, Luo Xu left the City Lord’s Mansion without stopping.
Three hours later, Luo Xu brought the 200 million immortal stones to the City Lord’s Mansion.
After Wang Mang received them, Wang Mang immediately decreed that Luo Xu would be the new North City Lord!
Then, Wang Mang brought Wu Shi and the Black Emperor and left the northern district. He stopped by the eastern district to pick up An Lan, then the group left Qingmu City entirely.
After leaving Qingmu City, Wang Mang spent several days traveling before he finally managed to leave the Million Mountain Range.
After Wang Mang left the Million Mountain Range, he began to wander around Shenguang City, one of the ten great cities in the East Heaven Realm.
The so-called Ten Great Cities of the East Heaven Realm referred to the ten largest and boundless cities in the East Heaven Realm. Once there, Wang Mang began to ask around for information about the four first-rate holy lands of the East Heaven Realm, which took him two days.
These four first-rate Holy Land forces were:
Shenguang City: Shenguang Holy Land!
Sword Immortal City: Sword Immortal Holy Land!
Crouching Dragon City: Crouching Dragon Holy Land!
Myriad Demon City: Myriad Demon Holy Land!
Wang Mang was smiling. It seemed that he had coincidentally found one of the holy lands right here.
Thinking this, Wang Mang immediately made up his mind and decided to make this holy land his first stop.
He asked around for the location, and then headed there together with the rest of the group.
One day later, Wang Mang finally arrived at Shenguang Holy Land, which was located on a beautiful green mountain in Shenguang City.
This green mountain towered into the clouds and looked like a celestial mountain.
However, Wang Mang had just entered the mountains with his subordinates when an angry voice rang out.
“Who are you? Why are you sneaking around Shenguang Holy Land?”
Hearing this, Wang Mang’s body trembled and he hurriedly looked up.
Then, Wang Mang saw a white-haired elder in luxurious clothes hovering proudly in the air. His aura was so strong that even Wang Mang’s heart palpitated.
“Greetings, Senior!” Wang Mang hurriedly greeted the elder respectfully.
“Speak! What are you doing here?” the elder asked coldly.
Wang Mang hurriedly explained with a respectful expression, “Senior, 1 want to join Shenguang Holy Land and participate in the battle for the Holy Son.” Hearing this, the elder narrowed his eyes and his eyes flickered.
Then, with an expression full of mockery, he looked at Wang Mang and sneered, “Do you really think anyone can compete for the Holy Son of the Divine Light?”
“You? You want to become the Holy Son of Shenguang Holy Land? Do you think an ant like you is worthy?”
