1438th episode: Betting with Life on the Line

The palace exterior was ablaze with light, and the great river above made this place as bright as day, yet there was an extraordinary eeriness about it.

When everyone heard Wanyan Lie mention the word "price," it was as though he recited an ancient curse, causing most to shudder involuntarily.

Han Qixian couldn't help but ask, "What price must be paid to use an immortal item? Which deity has reclaimed the Heavenly-measuring Ruler?"

Even clay Buddha statues possess some earthly attributes; as the Prime Minister of Great Jin, Han Qixian had his pride. Seeing Wanyan Lie seeming to slander his Han ancestors, he couldn't help but earnestly clarify.

Wanyan Lie's mouth, however, revealed a slight smile, "The price Han Derang paid was that he could never reveal this secret in his lifetime. If the secret leaked, the person involved could end up without descendants."

Han Qixian was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "The Han family has not ended."
