106: Trading duet, Zhao Si appears!
Walking along the inn corridor, Wang Teng was like a noisy fly, constantly questioning Shen about various things.
"Shen, what do you want to do? Although this guy is comparable to the Dao, he's a ticking time bomb in battle. If not handled well, our forces could suffer losses!"
"You want to incorporate them into the Yuting Guard? That's a good choice. These barbarians at the foot of Kunlun Mountain can tolerate the coldness of cold stones to a greater extent, increasing the upper limit of the Yuting Guard's combat power.
But we also need to select the best.
Uncertain factors like General Wushuang should be killed as soon as possible."
"Qiu Ya... Hey? Why don't you try to persuade him too?"
"Although this Young Master is not the stationed Cultivator of Black Ridge City, Black Ridge City grew strong under this Young Master's watchful eye."
"Now that everything is on the right track, why insert a bomb?"
Qiu Ya, however, smiled faintly.
"Young Master Wang, don't be anxious. Since my Young Master has done this, he must have a plan in mind."
Wang Teng immediately rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Stop showing off. I know your bond as master and servant is deep."
"Next time I return to the market, I'll also ask the old man to find me a Dao Protector."
"And it has to be a woman... with a perky butt and big breasts!"
Just as Shen Li arrived at a door, and while Wang Teng was still muttering, Shen Li kicked the door open!
Sun Xingtu, who was recuperating his Physical Body on the bed, was startled. He immediately formed hand seals, ready to strike.
Seeing that it was Shen Li and the two others, he frowned and said,
"You... what are you doing?"
"Killing me to silence me?"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey? Oh, my goodness, esteemed guests, what are you doing? Damaging the property will cost you money!"
The inn's waiter arrived quickly, looking at the broken door with great distress.
Wang Teng pouted.
"Speak, how much? This daddy will pay you."
"One thousand Spirit Stones!"
"How much????" Wang Teng's eyes widened instantly, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke to the man.
"You son of a bitch, isn't this a black inn??"
"Esteemed guest, what do you mean by this... In broad daylight, you actually..."
"This daddy is a Disciple of the Wang Family of Qingchi Mountain."
"And besides, this door is old and in disrepair, so it's normal for it to break. I'll just go get a hammer and knock it a few times later."
The waiter scurried away.
Shen Li, however, moved a stool and sat down in front of the bed.
Then he asked,
"I observe that your body has a strong earth affinity. I suppose you are a Cultivator who practices earth techniques?"
Sun Xingtu nodded.
"Yes..."
"Have you practiced the EarthEscape?"
"It's at Perfection."
"Perfection?" Wang Teng raised an eyebrow. Few people at the Qi Refining Third Layer could cultivate a minor technique to Perfection.
Of course... Shen Li, being one in a million, doesn't need to be an example.
It seems this person in front of him isn't entirely useless?
Shen Li then asked in a deep voice,
"You are seriously injured now, and you're a Loose Cultivator abandoned by Tian Ya Pavilion and your Family. I imagine life isn't easy for you. Are you interested in... becoming my son... becoming my offering, serving me?"
Sun Xingtu's mouth twitched when he heard 'son', but fortunately, Shen Li quickly changed his words and adjusted in time.
His eyes were calm, with a hint of wariness, as he said,
"My Aptitude is mediocre, I've long known that. Are you... asking me to do something that will lead to my death?"
Shen Li smiled, offering an irresistible bargaining chip.
"I know you're thinking of dealing with that woman, but how difficult is it for a single Loose Cultivator like you to deal with an Inner Sect Disciple of Tian Ya Pavilion?"
Sun Xingtu sneered and said,
"Previously, that woman only relied on my affection to lord over me. Now that she has many Disciples around her, I can't make a move, but I'm not afraid of her."
"What if... I provide you with the conditions?"
"What conditions?" Sun Xingtu instinctively retorted.
Shen Li said calmly,
"Providing you with the conditions to settle your grudge with her."
Sun Xingtu immediately said in disbelief,
"How is that possible? Do you know what kind of existence is behind that woman? That's an Immortal Master of a Sect... Although she's only a Named Disciple, killing her is still dancing on the Immortal Master's minefield!"
"Immortal Master." Shen Li calmly stated.
Then he pointed a finger at the foolish Wang Teng and said indifferently,
"This one is called Wang Teng, from the Wang Family of Qingchi Mountain."
"Perhaps you are unfamiliar with him, but his Family has four Immortal Masters."
Sun Xingtu was immediately shocked and tried to get up.
Wang Teng, however, pretended to be profound and waved his hand.
"It's nothing. He didn't mention one thing: standing before you is also a future Immortal Master."
Sun Xingtu's gaze turned to Shen Li.
"You are actually so formidable? Already listed as an Immortal Master candidate by Qingchi Mountain?"
This instantly infuriated Wang Teng.
"Are you blind? This daddy was talking about himself. Why are you pointing at Shen???"
"Let me go! Let me go, I want to duel this bastard."
And Shen Li, who had received an undeserved compliment, naturally held Wang Teng down tightly, feeling quite pleased. Looking at Sun Xingtu's ugly face, he found it somewhat more agreeable.
He couldn't help but say,
"The task I want you to do is very dangerous, but the opportunity is also great. It just depends on how you choose."
Sun Xingtu, however, gritted his teeth and asked,
"Speak."
Shen Li used the Lingyin Technique to engrave a pattern, which was the emblem of the Luan Xiu Alliance.
He then said in a deep voice,
"You need to wait outside Fu Yu Mountain for Cultivators wearing this emblem to leave, then use a recording stone to clearly record where they go... which is their lair."
"Then return and hand the recording stone to me. That's all."
"With your Perfection EarthEscape, you shouldn't be discovered so easily."
"Is it that simple?" Sun Xingtu was puzzled.
"It's that simple!"
"Good!"
"Then... what do you want?"
Sun Xingtu said with a cold grin,
"I want to personally kill that bitch!"
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Li to say anything more, Sun Xingtu went downstairs in his ragged clothes and disappeared.
Wang Teng, who had witnessed everything... no longer knew how to complain.
He couldn't help but marvel at Shen Li's cunning.
To be able to scheme like this with a random Cultivator encountered on the road... it was simply terrifying.
Amidst his marvel... he was even more surprised by Sun Xingtu's... simplicity.
It's over, another poor guy has been played by the outwardly kind but inwardly sinister Shen Li.
In the future, this guy's hard days are still long!
But then he thought, isn't this a good thing?
Originally, all the terrible, unfortunate tasks were his to do. Now... aren't there others to share the pressure?
Wonderful, wonderful.
Thinking of this, Wang Teng's eyes lit up, and he chuckled.
Then he asked,
"You want him to find the location of the Luan Xiu Alliance... but even if you get the location, what then?"
"Although the Luan Xiu Alliance suffered heavy losses in the Black Horn Mountain Range, there have been no changes in other areas! They must be well-established!"
"With the strength of our Black Ridge City, let alone attacking the Luan Xiu Alliance... we can't even enter their main gate."
Shen Li, however, smiled slightly.
"I have my own brilliant plan, Brother Wang, just wait."
Before his words fell, an unrestrained voice quietly echoed throughout the entire Fu Yu Mountain.
"Hey~"
"One thing leads to a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand things, everything is connected~"
"If any of you have doubts, you can come here. Zhao Si will tell you everything he knows, without holding anything back~~~"
