Chapter 177: Plotting Against A Despicable Man
Hearing that, Little Fatty's tears could not help but flow out. However, he restrained himself from crying as he paid careful attention to what Daoist Han said.
Daoist Han then added, ”From their wounds, they were most likely killed by the devil JinDan cultivators. Furthermore, there were at least 3 JinDan cultivators there, if not they would at least have had the chance to escape.”
”Who were the people?” Little Fatty asked fiercely.
”Err, from the way the scene and the wounds looked, it seems like it was the Thousands Desire Sect!” Daoist Han hurriedly replied.
”Thousands Desire Sect!” Despite already having his suspicions, Little Fatty still s.h.i.+vered in anger as he heard the answer. He then asked again, ”What about the remains of my parents?”
Daoist Han hurriedly replied, ”Being righteous cultivators, how could I bear to see their bodies rot away in the wilderness and become the food for the wild beasts? Thus, I buried the both of them! In order to find their descendants, I took your mother's necklace in order to use as an evidence. If you go now, you can definitely dig them up!”
As Little Fatty heard that, tears immediately filled his face again. He cupped his fists and replied in grat.i.tude, ”I thank Daoist Han for your kindness. SongZhong will never forget it!”
”You're too polite!” Daoist Han then supported Little Fatty's hands and said, ”It is only out of convenience! But, what we said just now, can we...hehe...complete the deal now?”
As he said that, he stretched out his hands, indicating that he first wanted to see his rewards before reporting the location of the corpse.
Little Fatty was first stunned, but he immediately replied with an apologetic laughter, ”Of course, of course. Although I am not talented, I am still a man of my word!”
”That's great!” Daoist Han immediately replied with a smile.
”But~” Little Fatty then acted as though he was in a spot and said, ”Daoist Han, you should also know that no one would have so many spiritual stones on them!”
”This?” Daoist Han also thought that Little Fatty made sense and asked with a frown, ”Then what does junior brother have in mind?”
”What about this? In the Jade Green Screen, I obtained a magical artifact. Although it is not considered too strong, it is still worth 2,500,000 spiritual stones for sure! I wonder if fellow Daoist Han can allow me to use this treasure to replace the spiritual stones?”
”Of course, of course!” As Daoist Han heard that, he was immediately elated. You have to know, it is easy to collect spiritual stones but hard to find a magical artifact. Even a 9th-grade magical tool could be sold for over a million spiritual stones. Even the lowest grade magical artifact could be easily sold for a few million spiritual stones! No matter what, it would definitely be worth more than 2,500,000 spiritual stones! Thus, such a deal was obviously in his favour, how would he not be elated by it?
As such, Daoist Han immediately replied in surprise, ”Since junior brother has already said it, how can this senior brother reject you. As long as it is a magical tool, I will want it regardless of its grade!”
”If that's the case, then what do you think about this item?” As he said that, Little Fatty took out a jade fan and handed it over respectfully.
The moment Daoist Han laid eyes on the fan, he could see the formations flas.h.i.+ng on it, accompanied by a strong wave of spiritual Qi being emitted. How would he not realise that it was something good? Thus, he immediately grabbed it over excitedly and opened it up to see 5 beautiful cultivators on the fan.
The 5 cultivators were all extremely lifelike, to the point fellow Daoist Han could see them smiling at him!”
”En? Wait a minute!” Although he had never seen the Nine Beauties Painting before, he would definitely have heard of it before. Especially since the young master of the Thousands Desire Sect had just been killed and the loss of the Nine Beauties Painting was currently the biggest news in the Vast Mountains. Thus, the Nine Beauties Painting immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, with many guessing where it went.
Under such circ.u.mstances, the looks of the Nine Beauties Painting would naturally spread out as well. Thus, Daoist Han had also heard of it before.
The moment he opened the fan, he did not even think suspect for a moment that it was a spiritual artifact. After all, there were many different kinds of magical artifacts with jade fans being common as well. But the moment he saw the smile of the 5 cultivators, he immediately figured out the origin of this item. Apart from the Nine Beauties Painting, all of the other magical artifacts would only have designs of bugs, trees, flowers, etc. None of them came with a picture of ladies. Furthermore, with how lifelike these ladies looked, he immediately deduced that it was the Nine Beauties Painting.
Who could still remain calm after seeing a spiritual artifact which surpa.s.sed the 9th grade appearing in their hands? Daoist Han was no exception either. His body shook as he let out a shout, ”Nine Beauties Painting!”
At this moment, Daoist Han felt his mind shake and slipped into unconsciousness. It was because precisely at this moment, the nine beauties from the Nine Beauties Painting had entered into Daoist Han's body.
