Chapter 410 - Regent Estate’s Intent (2/2)

Holding the box with a trembling hand, feeling the oozing vitality, Leng Wuchang nodded and sent a jade, “Steward Zhuo, I’m a man of my word.”

With a gesture, the jade slip flew away.

Zhuo Fan nodded and stood up, “With the deal complete, I shall be going. I need to see if the young miss and the others are safe. If any harm has come to them, humph. Sir Leng, we’ll be seeing each other again in Caged Dragon City…”

Zhuo Fan vanished.

Leng Wuchang was left alone with a heavy look.

He did fulfill his end of the deal and didn’t even so much as leave a scratch on the Luo clan, but Zhuo Fan’s cold smile left him shuddering.

Not even an honest-to-god man could keep a straight face on meeting Zhuo Fan.

[He is a savage like the rumors describe him. Such power, such dignity, it’s not something everyone has…]

Leng Wuchang sighed.

A rough voice broke him out of his thoughts, “Sir Leng, do you have it?”

Huangpu Tianyuan walked over. Leng Wuchang made a deep bow, presenting the box, “Congratulations, Estate Lord, we have it!”

Huangpu Tianyuan opened the box and shuddered in glee, “Ha-ha-ha, at long last I can train the earth ranked martial art, Nine Dragons Diamond Body.”

“Indeed, Estate Lord. We are weaker than the imperial family, but stronger than Luo clan. Yet we can’t compare when it comes to the quality of their experts. The imperial family has Gu Santong while the Luo clan has Zhuo Fan; freaks of nature capable of fighting thousands. To take these lands for ourselves, we need to defeat those monsters. With the Estate Lord training in Nine Dragons Diamond Body, your power will double. Heaven is smiling on the Regent Estate!” Leng Wuchang praised.

Huangpu Tianyuan was pleased, but then sighed, “A shame that Nine Dragons Diamond Body needs nine dragon souls to reach its peak. Especially the last one to become ethereal. But that dragon soul is with Zhuo Fan, a true shame. Sir Leng, why didn’t you set the dragon soul as a condition of the deal as well?”

“Estate Lord, please restrain your greed. You know his temper just as well. If we push him too much and he flips, we are not prepared to take him and we will suffer greatly from it. Moreover, the Dragon Vein Soul is a savage being. Even when the young eldest young master’s fate arrived, he could only subdue one. With the Estate Lord being able to use eight souls to train yourself, the pain will be excruciating. Only through the use of Bodhi Root’s vitality will it be an assured success.”

Leng Wuchang advised, “Sir has yet to even gain the diamond body and wouldn’t be able to support so many dragon souls. What is the point of taking back the ninth soul? We should wait for sir to train in it and then look for Zhuo Fan.”

Huangpu Tianyuan still believed that he would never train it to peak because of one missing dragon soul, though he understood Leng Wuchang’s logic.

As haste made waste in many cases, it would be better to use the other eight first.

As for the ninth dragon soul, [Humph, Zhuo Fan, you just wait. I will be coming for that last one!]

Huangpu Tianyuan snorted inside, filled with battle spirit.

None of them noticed a red flash beneath their feet.

Twenty miles away, Zhuo Fan leaned on a tree, waiting for the red flash to enter his body, his Blood Infant.

When he left, he had Blood Infant slip underground, tuning in on their designs for the Bodhi Root.

He had never guessed that he’d find out so fast.

“Nine Dragons Diamond Body…”

Zhuo Fan grinned, “So using the nine dragon souls to train, that old fox Huangpu Tianyuan can step into the Ethereal Stage from peak Profound Heaven Stage. That’ll be dangerous. How convenient that I have one dragon soul from the set, or I’d never have let go of the Bodhi Root.”

“They won’t come knocking anytime soon. Not before finishing their training that is, he-he-he…”

Snickering, Zhuo Fan glanced next to him, “Young Sanzi, let’s go to Allbeast Mountain Range!”

“On an ingredient hunt?” Gu Santong lit up.

With a vague smile, Zhuo Fan only shook his head…
