Chapter 998 - Using Poison (2/2)

“Unless what, Boss?” pursued Tang Guang rapidly.

“Unless there’s a well-preserved high-grade fierce beast’s blood,” said Tang Xiu. “I can use it to spray out the poison in a short time. Unfortunately, I only have the blood of low and mid-grade fierce beasts. I don’t have any high-grade blood. I’d have been able to poison the Dark Shaman’s current patriarch without him realizing it otherwise.”

Mo Awu’s face slightly shifted and he interjected, “I might have the blood of some high-grade fierce beast, Boss.” Having said that, he took out a jade bottle from his interspatial ring and handed it over to Tang Xiu as he spoke again, “I got it from a tribal chief when I carried out my mission in Africa several years ago. He said that it’s the blood of a divine beast or something which his ancestor spent great effort to obtain. He said that this blood can improve the lifeforce and physical function of average people. I’ve taken this blood with Awen and it does give a lot of benefits.”

Tang Xiu’s expression shifted. After receiving the jade bottle, he pulled the cork and smelled it. A pleasantly surprised look appeared on his face as he praised, “Yes! This is indeed the blood of a high-grade fierce beast. It’s quite precious, and the fact that it’s still well-preserved is quite uncommon. Well, I can refine the poison in a short time with this.”

“Do you happen to know what kind of fierce beast this blood was extracted from, Boss?” asked Mo Awu with a curious face.

“It’s from a python that has evolved into an aquatic dragon,” said Tang Xiu with a light smile. “It has survived for thousands of years and then gradually entered the path of cultivation. Therefore, its bloodline has been improved, which is the reason why it had such terrifying might. You’re not even able to fight it with your present strength. I’d expect you to die fighting it unless you can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Speaking about that, that tribe you met definitely has more than meets the eye, Awu!”

“They are an extraordinary bunch indeed.” Mo Awu nodded and said, “The sacrificial offering ritual practiced by this tribe seems to have a special ability which gives them the ability to communicate with animals. However, they can’t communicate with all animals per se, nor ones with low intelligence, though.”

“There are indeed a group of people like them called Beast Tamers. Strength wise, these people are just very average, but they can get the help of fierce beasts, spirit beasts or even immortal beasts. Every full-pledged Beast Tamer at least has one beast companion for life. Anyway, let’s stop talking about it now. After we arrive at the Dark Shaman Clan, we won’t rush to meet their current patriarch, Singtuo. Instead, find some quiet and secluded place for me to refine the poison.”

“Understood!” replied several people in unison.

Two hours later, the convoy appeared in the area near the Dark Shaman Clan’s site. Although Singluen was anxious to return to his clan to force his father to abdicate with the help of Tang Xiu’s military power, Tang Xiu himself was unwilling to go there for the time being. Thus, Singluen could only suppress his dissatisfaction inwardly while quietly waiting in the car.

“How long do we need to wait here? Where did Mr. Tang go?”

After waiting for more than half an hour, Singluen couldn’t bear it anymore and finally asked Mo Awu outside the window.

“Boss already said there’s something he has gotta do. We just need to wait for him here,” replied Mo Awu. “Young Master Singluen, I think you also know his temper well, don’t you? He would never delay going to your clan for no reason. Maybe he’s prepping something so nothing will go wrong when he goes with you to your clan.”

“But…” replied Singluen with an anxious face. Just as he spoke, however, Mo Awu interrupted him.

“My Boss has never fought battles unprepared, Young Master Singluen. You’re also aware that the main purpose of this trip to your Dark Shaman Clan is to make you the clan’s patriarch, right? If Boss is not well-prepared, should an unforeseen accident happen, he won’t be able to help you to be the patriarch. Isn’t this quite irresponsible? In fact, I also think that the more prepared Boss is, the happier you’ll be,” said Mo Awu slowly with a smile.

Singluen was stunned. He knew what Mo Awu said was the truth. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was justified. The more well-prepared Tang Xiu was, the more likely he was to sit on the patriarch seat of his own clan.

“Do you have some leads on Singkuo?”

After he composed himself, Singluen remembered his big brother who they hadn’t been able to kill yet and suddenly felt a bit restless.

“We got nothing on him as of yet.” Mo Awu shook his head and said, “You know, we Chinese got a saying that clever rabbits have three burrows to hide in. Singkuo has been operating in Bangkok for so many years, so he must have prepared quite a lot of safe houses in advance. Still, there’s no need to worry about it for now. The first thing we gotta do is help you take over the patriarch seat of your clan. Only then can we go all out to track him. We’ll have him executed once we find him.”

Singluen nodded and said, “That’s the only option we have now it seems. I just hope that my father won’t be too wary of me. Many experts of my clan are rushing back now. It won’t be easy to compel my father to abdicate by using force after they come here.”

“For your information, my Boss always achieves what he wants. Even if all the clansmen of your Dark Shaman Clan are to gather at one place, we can still suppress them with force if my Boss wills it,” cut Mo Awu with a deep voice.

At his statement, Singluen shivered inwardly. He didn’t utter any sound again and fell into silence.

As noon came, Tang Xiu returned back with Tang Guang. After taking a seat in the car, he made an order to head to the Dark Shaman Clan immediately. He stored a lot of medicinal herbs in his interspatial ring, so he had been able to refine the poison and its antidotes. As long as Singtuo was exposed to it, even if his cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul Stage, he’d still be poisoned.
