Chapter 416: Chapter 416 Complete Guide to Death Forbidden Land

Staring at the old man who refused to speak at the crucial moment and wore that faintly mocking smile, it made one want to slap him across the face.

Asking him, "Do you actually know or not, are you going to talk or not?"

However, considering that this old man should be a Martial Arts expert, even though he appeared to be only at the Martial King Realm, the fact that he appeared behind Shi Feng and the Kirin King without a sound or trace suggested that he must be deliberately hiding his true Martial Arts Cultivation.

Therefore, Shi Feng and the Kirin King still suppressed the urge to slap this old geezer.

After a little while, the old man with the mocking smile on his face finally slowly said to Shi Feng and the Kirin King, "What you just said indeed wasn’t wrong, this old man has indeed seen with his own eyes those who came out from the Death Forbidden Land! But do you know why they were able to come out of the Death Forbidden Land? Hehe..."

At the most critical moment, the old man paused his words again and revealed his signature "hehe" mocking smile, which made the Kirin King so anxious he almost wanted to beat the old man up.

"If the senior knows the secrets of the Death Forbidden Land, I would be extremely grateful if you could share everything!" The Kirin King said to the old man with a clasped fist.

"Hehe!" Upon hearing the Kirin King’s words, the old man chuckled again, then Shi Feng and the Kirin King saw the old man reaching into his cloth garment and pulling out an object—it was a book with a blue cover, and it was brand new.

After that, the old man handed the book from his garment to Shi Feng and the Kirin King, who were also drawn to the several large characters on the cover of this blue book: "Complete Guide to Death Forbidden Land!"

"Because they have this!" The old man handed over the book, revealing again his mysterious and significant smile.

Complete Guide to Death Forbidden Land!

Damn it! There’s such a thing!

If it weren’t for the old man appearing behind them soundlessly and unexpectedly just now, they would have surely pegged this old man as a fraud.

But because the old man did appear behind Shi Feng and the Kirin King so silently just now, they also trusted this book a little.

Could it be that this old man once entered the Death Forbidden Land? Then, based on his own experiences in the Death Forbidden Land, did he record its dangers, precautions, and existences inside the book?

Both thought the same thing in their hearts.

Then, the Kirin King spoke to the old man once more, "Senior, how would you sell this guide?" There’s no such thing as a free lunch; the old man kept being silent at the crucial points and then showing that significant, exasperating smile, all just to pique their curiosity.

And after feeling that their curiosity was sufficiently aroused, he took out that book, surely he wouldn’t kindly and freely offer this guide to them for nothing.

"Selling it?" Upon hearing the Kirin King’s words, the old man laughed and shook his head.

Seeing the old man shake his head, the Kirin King was immediately shocked! Could it be... could it be that he had actually encountered an old senior with noble character, selfless justice, philanthropy, and a heart full of righteousness?

Moreover, the Kirin King grew even more convinced of the authenticity of this guidebook from the elder’s likely intention not to charge him or his companion a fee.

Could it be that this guidebook was really penned by the elder himself, who had ventured into Death Forbidden Land, devotedly recording his experiences there? And out of pity for all living beings, he waited here every day for those about to enter the Death Forbidden Land, selflessly bestowing upon them the secret book of his own making to prevent the Martial Artists from suffering injury or death!

In an instant, the Kirin King was deeply moved by the elder’s noble and selfless character!

All at once, when the Kirin King looked upon the elder’s weathered face, he suddenly saw it as full of kindness, amiability, and approachability! Truly, a magnificent elder!

The Kirin King’s gaze toward the elder was immediately filled with respect.

"Hehe!" the elder still chuckled lightly, slowly speaking to the Kirin King and Shi Feng, "By rights, I have lived a life of goodness, chivalry, and concern for all people. In line with the principles of joy in helping others and generosity, I should not charge you a single Yuan for this guidebook! But..."

"Alright, let’s get to the point, how many Primordial Stones do you need?" Shi Feng interjected, cutting off the elder’s continued speech.

However, after the elder said "By rights" and "But," the grand and lofty image of him that had been built up in the Kirin King’s mind suddenly shattered to pieces!

Damn it! I’ve misjudged someone! This long-winded old fool, spouting all this nonsense, pretending to be noble and grandiose, it turns out it was all an act!

I knew it, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world! There’s no one truly just and selfless, and even the fabled Emperor Fenglei, known for doing good deeds anonymously, is just a legend.

Legend has it that in the Ancient Times, there was an Emperor Fenglei who did good deeds and served people without seeking recognition.

After being interrupted by Shi Feng, the elder chuckled once more and said, "Hehe! Young man, you’re indeed too hasty! Originally, I was planning to give you this guidebook for free, without asking for a penny.

But since you insist on giving me Primordial Stones, I’d feel bad for not accepting, and others might think I’m a hypocrite. So, let’s do this, for only 100,000 Primordial Stones, you can have this unique guidebook in the entire world!"

This elder is truly the epitome of hypocrisy!

To Shi Feng and the Kirin King, 100,000 Primordial Stones might not be much, but if this book truly contained records about the Death Forbidden Land, it would be worth far more than that. If it were indeed about the Death Forbidden Land, then even a million, or ten million Primordial Stones would not be considered expensive!

That place was one of life or death; if this really was a complete guidebook, and everything in it was as the elder claimed, then it would be a priceless secret book!

With the elder’s demand for only 100,000 Primordial Stones, both Shi Feng and the Kirin King started to doubt the authenticity of the book!

Moreover, the elder’s image had already been utterly destroyed in the Kirin King’s heart just moments ago!

"Hehe, what? Do you think that by offering this guidebook at a price tantamount to giving it away for free, it makes you doubt its authenticity, yes? For you to feel that way, I suppose it’s normal, but it also leaves me feeling disheartened!

Ah, yes, disillusionment, that’s the feeling. In just this brief moment, I have become disappointed in the entire Tianheng Continent. Can’t a person sincerely trust someone else? Can’t they, really? Ah!"
