Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 989 942: A Chance

Qin Heng scrutinized the blonde woman and found that she was merely at the innate level and harbored no obvious malice, so he chuckled softly, "How do you know I'm taking them in to die?"

"I volunteered to go with him," Gu Xuanxuan spoke. Though she was just a regular person, Qin Heng's mana enveloped her, so the cold here posed no threat to her whatsoever.

"You simply have no idea how terrifying the Forbidden Zone of Life is," the blonde woman gently shook her head and said, "I come from an ancient magical family. My father, my teacher, they're both exceptionally skilled magicians, far exceeding me a thousandfold. A month ago, they went into the Forbidden Zone of Life, and there has been no news ever since."

Her expression was a bit downcast, and she looked at Qin Heng and said, "Even if you're a Saint, entering the Forbidden Zone of Life spells certain death, and you're bringing others with you. Even if they're willing, you shouldn't bring them here. I can tell that without you, this lady simply couldn't have come here, and this person..."

Only then did the blonde woman notice the High Priest was severely wounded. She glanced around once more, her pupils suddenly narrowing as she exclaimed incredulously, "The High Priest of Black Stone Town, Hera's High Priest?!?"

She exclaimed in shock, instinctively stepping back, her face full of disbelief; then her eyes shifted, looking at Qin Heng with utter astonishment, her body trembling slightly.

Now, she realized that the High Priest had been forcibly brought here by Qin Heng and was severely injured. Such a powerful figure in the hands of this seemingly not-so-powerful young boy couldn't resist at all!?

Couldn't even escape!?

The blonde woman's exclamation attracted others, as this place was not far from Black Stone Town, and quite a few people here came from there.

They naturally were familiar with this High Priest.

They were all very clear that the pillar of support for Black Stone Town was this High Priest. They also knew how powerful this High Priest was. In their minds, the High Priest possessed god-given strength, making even Saints seem weak as ants before him!

Around the Forbidden Zone of Life, this High Priest should be an invincible existence, and practically no one could be his match.

But now what's happening, this High Priest looked severely injured, being held like a dead dog, without even a struggle.

Seemed completely desperate.

How could this be!?

Incredible!

Simply unfathomable!

Too astonishing!

"Is the person in your hand, is it—is it Black Stone Town's High Priest!?" The blonde woman's voice trembled, but she couldn't resist asking, wanting to confirm if it was true.

"That's right," Qin Heng replied calmly, nodding, "It is indeed the High Priest of Black Stone Town, and by his own words, he serves the priesthood of Hera, and I am now sending him to meet Hera."

Sending—sending him to meet Hera??

Upon hearing Qin Heng's words, everyone suddenly felt a bit dumbfounded, staring at him in astonishment. Hera is the goddess of death from Northern European myths; sending someone to meet Hera means sending them to die??

No, not right!

Thinking this, the crowd suddenly realized that the Forbidden Zone of Life was right ahead, and the reason why it became the Forbidden Zone of Life was because its core had a Divine Realm. After the spiritual energy resurgence, the environment changed drastically, forming this "Forbidden Zone" that ordinary people couldn't set foot in.

The Divine Realm is where the descendants of the Asa Divine Clan reside, so having descendants of the Goddess Hera within it isn't impossible.

But, is this young man really going to enter the Forbidden Zone of Life?!

Even if he defeated the High Priest, his strength being unimaginably strong, he surely couldn't withstand the severe cold of the Forbidden Zone of Life.

Many people's minds thought so.

Qin Heng was indifferent to these people's attitudes; as long as there was no malice, he didn't care. His gaze remained on the blonde woman and said, "What's your name, which country are you from?"

"I—I am Elisa, from England." The blonde woman, feeling Qin Heng had no malice, was still a bit anxious facing such a strong person, her speech still somewhat shaky.

"Good," Qin Heng nodded slightly, "You said earlier that your father and your teacher entered the Forbidden Zone of Life a month ago, and until now there has been no news.

Actually, you're very much wanting to go in and find them, right? But your own strength isn't adequate, leaving you with no hope of continuing the search, which is why you're stopping those who want to go in here?"

"..." Elisa fell silent, taking a deep breath after a moment and said, "Yes, indeed, it's because I myself want to go in that I'm here stopping people. I'm hoping to encounter someone strong enough who can take me in; I'm willing to pay any price for it."

"You can now follow behind me," Qin Heng chuckled.

For him, bringing people in only needed some witnesses when he eliminated the descendants of the Asa Divine Clan and then let these people spread the word, letting the world clearly recognize his strength to reduce future troubles.

There wouldn't naturally be too many spectators.

Moreover, with Qin Heng's current strength, bringing a few people in, or even tens of thousands into the so-called Forbidden Zone of Life posed no pressure.

"Ah?!" Elisa was stunned by Qin Heng's words, still not reacting.

Though seeing the High Priest of Black Stone Town end up this way, she knew Qin Heng's strength was incredibly terrifying, she still didn't dare to think he would take her to the Forbidden Zone of Life.

Because the Forbidden Zone of Life is just too dangerous, with no knowing what strength someone needed to enter intact for exploration.

"Move aside!"

At this moment, a rough voice suddenly rang out, and then they saw a nearly two-meter tall strong man squeeze through the crowd and come over, casting a glance at Qin Heng and sneering, "Yellow-skinned monkey, who do you think you are, saying to take Elisa to the Forbidden Zone of Life?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Qin Heng looked over coldly.

The people around immediately felt a piercing cold whizz by, and in the astonished gaze of everyone, the strong man who had just squeezed over was frozen into an ice sculpture!!

Crack!!

Then the ice sculpture shattered, and the strong man turned into countless tiny ice fragments, disappearing in the howling cold wind.

The arena fell into dead silence!

Qin Heng looked at Elisa again, and said faintly, "Whether you want to stand behind me, you only have one chance to choose."
