Chapter 74: I’ll show you my resolve (2/2)
But it was right then, when Altar Master reproached his report as an error. Not only did he lose his reward of Body Tempering Liquid, he was even stripped away of his portion of the Body Tempering Liquid for this year.
What’s even more significant was that he had lost the trust of Altar Master, and his future had become bleak.
All of these added together was an overbearing blow to him, it was beyond what his heart could take. Therefore, he decided to look for Song Shuhang secretly, by kidnapping Zhao Yaya.
His plan was to kill Song Shuhang, so as to prove himself to Altar Master.
“Oh I see, I get the full story now.” Song Shuhang who had remained taciturn suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
It’s no wonder that that ‘Altar Master’ who’s behind the scenes never directly stepped in to s.n.a.t.c.h the spirit ghost from me. He instead chose to go through a long detour, by secretly investigating me, and sent his subordinates to probe me. He has been very cautious.
It turns out that this person is like Soft Feather in the beginning, who believed that I am a powerful Senior.
Song Shuhang made a conjecture. When he and Soft Feather stepped into J City’s Luo Xin street, they had already been watched by Altar Master’s people. Then, due to Soft Feather constantly addressing him a senior by mistake, when they saw the powerful combat prowess of Soft Feather, they mistakenly believed that he was an incredibly powerful senior who was going through mortal world tempering.
Next, having been through the matter of Medicine Master’s acute poison, Altar Master must have confirmed that he was an expert.
What’s most significant here were the words detailing that Altar Master had withdrawn from the Jiangnan region, which meant that he was within the Jiangnan University City’s area before…… which means that the second person who got poisoned could be the Altar Master.
The enemy has qualms about him, and this was considered great news to him.
“Then right now…” Song Shuhang stared at the long armed man. He needed to borrow the resolve that his opponent that engraved upon him; the resolve to face the merciless world of cultivators.
The long armed man had carefully selected a dead end that no one would discover. In addition, the long armed man was in possession of some Corpse Dissolving Liquid that would destroy any traces of a dead body.
As long as this matter is properly concealed, there would be virtually no one who could discover this murder case for the time being.
His opponent was a cultivator who had opened the nose and eye acupoints. Perhaps the Stink Pill that the Medicine Master had given to him would be of use. But before he used the Stink Pill, he needed his opponent to first reveal an opening, at the very least, he needed him to leave Zhao Yaya’s side.
“Answer me, Student Song Shuhang!” The long armed man had a crazed expression, he pointed his handleless blade at Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang said in a deep voice, “Body Tempering Liquid.”
“What?”
“The thing you want, it’s this isn’t it?” Song Shuhang fished out a small bottle from his left pocket, and used his thumb to pop open the cap. Suddenly, the Body Tempering Liquid’s unique stench spread out.
“The Body Tempering Liquid!” The long armed man’s body jolted for a moment.
“Do you want it?” Song Shuhang replied calmly.
“Throw it over to me!” THe long armed man yelled.
“Then come over and take it from me. I’m only an ordinary mortal, what are you wary of? I can give the Body Tempering Fluid to you. As long as you let my sister go, I can give you even more.”
The long armed man’s eyes opened wide, “More?”
“That’s right, I can give you even more. Enough for you to use for a long long time!” Song Shuhang’s voice carried a demonic attraction as he spoke.
The long armed man was in an unclear state. His eyes showed confusion as he stared at Song Shuhang, and he carefully proceeded forward.
Song Shuhang clasped the bottle of “Body Tempering Fluid”, ready to hand it over obediently, his face full of innocence.
As he approached the bottle of Body Tempering Fluid, the long armed man’s eyes brightened. Suddenly, he stomped hard on the ground with his right leg as his body shot towards Song Shuhang like an arrow leaving its bow, his right arm reaching for the bottle of Body Tempering Fluid.
No matter whether Song Shuhang had any tricks up his sleeve, as long as he used his superior speed to s.n.a.t.c.h the bottle over, he had nothing to fear.
If this Body Tempering Fluid was real and Song Shuhang could continuously provide him with Body Tempering Fluid, perhaps he could consider sparing their lives… temporarily!
His mind was clouded by greed, his eyes were entranced by the treasure. His whole brain was filled with thoughts of Body Tempering Fluid which led him to neglect questioning himself: Exactly why did Song Shuhang possess so much Body Tempering Fluid? How could he possibly be able to offer so much Body Tempering Fluid?
