Though Tang Xiu tried all sorts of methods to remove the six Soul Tranquilizer Stones embedded on the ceiling of the cave, all of his efforts were for naught as the stones did not budge at all, and neither could the solidified Dragon’s Eye in the center be taken. He finally conjectured that these six Soul Tranquilizer Stones and the solidified Dragon’s Eye formed a peerless abstruse and mysterious array he could not figure out despite his deep knowledge and accomplishments in array formations.

“In life, something will be yours if it’s meant to be yours. Otherwise, just let it be.”

Tang Xiu sighed with a helpless expression and gave up while looking at the six Soul Tranquilizer Stones and the solidified Dragon’s Eye. If Gu Yan’er’s injury had not been healed, then he would not hesitate to level this mountain and take them. But now that Gu Yan’er had been healed from her injury, though a Soul Tranquilizer Stone was an excellent treasure, he was not that eager to take it away.

After leaving the cave, Tang Xiu did not go back to the Western Nefarious Sangha’s Immortal Abode. But he ordered the monk to keep an eye on Golden Armored Zombie and keep him in check to not do anything that could harm humans again before he left with Light directly, quietly followed by the concealed Dark. As the trio arrived at the place the SUV was parked, Mo Awu directly started the car and took them back to Longquan Village.

“Tang Xiu, you’re back!”

Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen, who had been waiting for a few days, had already received from their men that their two SUVs had appeared outside Longquan Village, so they rushed out, and their expressions seemed just like they had a heavy burden lifted off their hearts.

“Relax! The problem is solved.” Tang Xiu chuckled. “Brother Miao, that Grandma Shipo is Western Nefarious Sangha’s accomplice and they have been collaborating for nearly a hundred years, so you should not trouble yourself to go looking for her again. Regardless of anything, she and that monk will never dare to set their eyes on you anymore in the future.”

Miao Wentang’s face was blank. He could not understand what Tang Xiu said at all. After hesitating for a short moment, he asked, “What exactly happened?”

“I planned to exterminate him, but it never crossed my mind that he was such a scaredy cat and was afraid of death so much. So I decided to spare him and used a special method to control him.” Tang Xiu smiled and explained. “If anything, it can be said that I now control his life and death, thus he will never dare to have any bad intentions toward you again.”

“Western Nefarious Sangha has a very high cultivation, how come you’re able to control him?” Asked Miao Wentang in a shock.

Tang Xiu only smiled in response and did not elaborate. Although Miao Wentang was a friend and their relationship could be said to be very close, it was still not deep to the point that he would reveal his secrets.

Various thoughts swirled inside Shao Mingzhen’s mind. After seeing that Tang Xiu was unwilling to elaborate more on this matter, he immediately asked, “Now that the problem is solved, are we going to leave this place?”

Tang Xiu looked at Miao Wentang.

The latter hesitated for a while and then said, “I need to go back to Haiqing Province since the matter has been resolved. A lot of my men who came with me here were killed, so I need to deal with their funeral arrangements.”

Tang Xiu nodded without speaking and asked if Shao Mingzhen was going to Blue City. Their group did not stay any longer and directly went to Kanas Airport.

Outside the airport.

Tang Xiu quietly put a jade box into Miao Wentang’s pocket and whispered, “I hope you don’t feel upset since I spared Western Nefarious Sangha’s life. This is an Essence Amassing Pill. It can help promote your cultivation a level, so your trip here won’t be for naught.”

Miao Wentang’s expression moved, and he realized that Tang Xiu did not want Shao Mingzhen to notice him giving him this concocted pill, thus he nodded with an unperturbed expression. He was indeed a bit vexed inwardly that Tang Xiu did not kill Western Nefarious Sangha and even recruited the monk to work for him instead. Though Tang Xiu saved his life, many of his men were killed; that was undoubtedly a huge loss in and of itself. This concocted pill that could increase his cultivation for a level, however, made that upsetting feeling vanish.

Half an hour later, Miao Wentang took his secretary and two bodyguards to board the plane and left, while Shao Mingzhen took the plane and flew to Blue City afterward. Tang Xiu himself did not leave with them because there was still something he needed to do: return the favor from someone.

As for Light and Dark who came later, Tang Xiu gave them all the herbs he obtained and told them to transport them back to Ji Chimei to be concocted. Following which he ordered them to leave.

“Hello, Jie Walie. It’s Tang Xiu.” After sitting in the Wrangler SUV, Tang Xiu dialed Jie Walie’s cell number.

“Hello, Mr. Tang. What about your business? Is it done?” Replied Jie Walie with a smile.

“Yeah, it’s done, and those friends of mine have already left as well,” said Tang Xiu. “Anyways, I’m on the way out of the airport to return your cars. Tell me your address, I’m going to see you now.”

The dirt road was muddy, grumpy with gravels, and they even had to pass through a dozen dilapidated bridges. After which, Tang Xiu and his men finally arrived at the place where Jie Walie told him: The Vaultgate Horse Ranch.

“Welcome, Mr. Tang!”

Donning blue overalls and boots, Jie Walie was waiting for a long time, thus he warmly welcomed them along with the two tough men beside him.

Tang Xiu let out a faint smile and shook hands with him, saying, “It would be uncouth If me if I didn’t visit you before leaving Kanas, wouldn’t it? Besides, though you helped me due to Uncle Yuan, this Tang Xiu always remembered this favor, Jie Walie. Please accept this gift, it’s just a little token to show my respect to you.”

The smile on Jie Walie’s face became wider. After receiving the jade bottle handed over by Tang Xiu, he exclaimed in surprise, “Wow, what a good thing! This is a beautifully carved fine jade. This one is definitely not ordinary craftsmanship. Mr. Tang, this gift is too expensive, I don’t dare to accept it. The platoon leader will definitely curse me if he knows.”
