Chapter 112: Good Faith (2)
The hand that was holding the tea was frozen in midair, completely unmoving.
Finally, Su Chen suddenly laughed.
He brought the cup of tea to his mouth and gulped it down. Su Chen raised his head to look at Sang Zhen.
“I was wondering how it was possible for me to keep such a large organization in the dark for so long.”
As he spoke, his eyes flicked from Sang Zhen to Night Demon, then Qingbai, Copper Deer, and everyone else nearby.
In that instant, his eyes were bright and full of spirit and vitality.
Night Demon could no longer endure it. She began to yell, “You…… you…… you aren’t blind?”
She truly did not know that Su Chen was not blind.
Qingbai and the others wore expressions of laughter. Evidently, they had known this a long time ago.
“When did you recover?”
“When did you find out?”
In the next instant, Sang Zhen and Su Chen simultaneously spoke.
The two of them gazed at each other before laughing.
Su Chen said, “My eyes recovered on the day that I killed Lin Xie.”
“They actually recovered that early?” Old Sang was shocked.
However, this also explained why he had been able to kill Lin Xie.
“Then what about you? I am not too surprised that you know that I was Demon FAce, but how did you know that Li’s death had something to do with me?” Su Chen asked.
With Iron Cliff and Lin Shu present, Su Chen was not surprised that the knew that he was Demon Face. Upon knowing that he was Demon Face, they would also naturally realize that his eyesight had returned. However, they actually also knew about Li; this was quite rare.
Sang Zhen replied, “You did very well in destroying the corpse and any traces left behind. However, next time remember that you need to be more thorough in destroying things. The broken pieces of Origin Tools, the indications of battle, and the collapsed secret room were more than enough to indicate that someone had returned to that place, and that there were secrets there that they didn’t want others to discover. If you search carefully, there will always be some clues.”
“But there were only a few clues, right? That doesn’t mean that I was the one who did it.”
“When you greeted everyone here, you didn’t seem to ask about Li’s fate, did you?” Sang Zhen countered.
“Uh……” Su Chen was speechless.
He had not expected to give himself away from this aspect.
This Sang Zhen truly was not a simple character.
Su Chen scratched the back of his head and said, “I hope that you do not take exception over this.”
Copper Deer laughed, “That bastard Li wanted to swallow up all the benefits for himself, so he deserved his death. However, Prince Su, since the treasure store of the Shadow Mountain Troops is not limited to what we found, shouldn’t you also fulfill your end of the agreement?”
Su Chen didn’t even blink as he said, “Sorry, in terms of nature that is already a completely different transaction. Killing a Blood Boiling Realm cultivator is very taxing.”
“……” Everyone was rendered speechless by his words.
You clearly killed one of our men, yet now you act as if you are in the right.
However, Copper Deer was just mentioning it. Right now, the primary focus was the Spirit Burying Terrace, and only Su Chen knew how large the treasure storage of the Shadow Mountain Troops was. Even if they forced him to pay up, he could just say that there was only thirty thousand or so, and there was nothing that they could do.
There was no point trying to regain what they had already lost. It was more practical to consider how to use the situation to obtain more benefits during the current operation.
Sang Zhen already spoke. “The treasure store of the Shadow Mountain Troops can belong to you, but the Spirit Burying Terrace……”
