"Senior, didn’t you say you’d wait for me beside the Thunder Pool? How did you end up here?"
Su Ran put away Wang Cai and hurried over, complaining, "I almost ran through the entire Divine Domain looking for you. If you hadn’t suddenly spoken up, I would have planned to look for you in other places in the Celestial Realm!"
"Cough, it’s a situation that couldn’t be helped."
Hearing Su Ran’s complaints, Sang Ze’s old face flushed with embarrassment as he entered the house first, and after Su Ran followed him inside, he explained gloomily, "I was left with no choice, who could have expected that bastard Amu God King to take control of the clan’s sacred artifact? I couldn’t beat him, so I had to flee."
"There’s nowhere in this vast world that I could escape to, and besides, with the karma between us, I could only resort to this last measure and flee into the main city."
"Senior, that was a clever move indeed!"
Su Ran’s eyes lit up, "The most dangerous place is the safest. Amu God King would never have guessed you were hiding in the main city!"
"Don’t rush with the flattery. What did that brat call you for?"
Sang Ze’s expression turned unfriendly, having seen everything when Amu God King gave Su Ran his task, which was the reason he didn’t call out for Su Ran.
"That brat... oh, you mean the God King. He had me look for the origin of the disappearance of the Thunder Pool..."
Su Ran hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by Sang Ze’s urgent voice.
"What? The Thunder Pool disappeared?"
Sang Ze’s eyes filled with disbelief as he asked hastily, "Is it the Thunder Pool atop the Cloud Summit?"
Isn’t that obvious?
How many Thunder Pools are there in the Celestial Realm, don’t you have any clue yourself?
"Indeed."
Su Ran turned on the complaining mode internally, but outwardly he was all seriousness, his true thoughts completely concealed.
"Impossible, impossible... The Thunder Pool has existed for over a million years, it’s never disappeared before, how could this happen today..."
Sang Ze seemed to think of something, his piercing gaze suddenly swept over Su Ran, "Undead, did you mess with the Thunder Pool? Speak up, don’t try to fool me!"
"Senior, are you really confused or just pretending to be?"
Su Ran held his ground fearlessly, looking Sang Ze in the eye and stating directly, "Isn’t it because of the task you gave me? For this Thunder Heart Stone, I’ve turned the entire pit upside down which triggered the mechanism, making me fall into a secret room. And all the Thunder Liquid poured in there, creating the illusion of the Thunder Pool’s disappearance."
"So that’s what happened, I may have wronged you. Undead, did you manage to get the Thunder Heart Stone?
Sang Ze became interested as soon as the Thunder Heart Stone was mentioned and quickly got to the point.
"Ah, don’t even mention it, Senior. About this Thunder Heart Stone, I’ve long understood that not a single one has reappeared for tens of thousands of years. None are for sale on the market, and on top of that, this terrain is completely unexcavable. How am I supposed to find it for you?"
Su Ran did a perfect job of playing the victim, showing all of his internal grievances.
"Undead, you found the hidden space, and you still didn’t find the Thunder Heart Stone? That shouldn’t be possible."
Sang Ze asked doubtfully, "Haven’t you met Old Iron, the blacksmith? Complete a task for him and he’ll reward you with a Thunder Heart Stone. That should be easy, right?"
"If you had told me this earlier, this wouldn’t have happened..."
"How so, you killed him?"
"Injustice... that man is a Golden-level expert, with my puny stature, even ten of me together wouldn’t be a match for him. If there were killing, it’d more likely be him killing me!"
Su Ran hurriedly made clear his innocence, to avoid trouble.
"What happened to him then? Seeing you hesitant, has Old Iron met with misfortune?"
"Senior, you are so wise, I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. The blacksmith suddenly fell ill, couldn’t breathe, and after convulsing for a while on the ground, he passed away."
"Hiss... that’s a far-fetched excuse, do you think I’d believe that?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I do."
"Fine, whether he is dead or not doesn’t matter to me, and there is no need for you to be nervous."
Sang Ze scoffed, his piercing gaze as if seeing through everything, "I’m only concerned about whether you got the Thunder Heart Stone or not. Without it, no amount of talk is useful, come back to me when you have it."
"Senior, couldn’t we switch to another task? With the blacksmith gone, who do I ask for the Thunder Heart Stone?"
"Find whoever you like. If the task can’t be completed, I cannot help you."
"..."
Su Ran realized that this old fellow was intractable, showing not even a hint of compromise. Left with no choice, he took out Krei’s Soul-suppressing Hammer.
"Bang!"
The hammer hit the ground, kicking up a puff of dust.
"Senior, this is..."
Before Su Ran could even explain, Sang Ze leaped forward, startling him.
"It really is the Soul-suppressing Hammer! Hahaha, Undead, you actually brought the blacksmith’s treasured hammer!"
Sang Ze revealed an ecstatic expression, circling the hammer non-stop, while making clicking sounds with his tongue.
"Swoosh."
Taking advantage of Sang Ze’s distraction, Su Ran rubbed his hip against the hammer, and it instantly disappeared from sight, Sang Ze’s expression frozen on his face.
"Undead, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing the Soul-suppressing Hammer vanish, anger appeared on Sang Ze’s face, "Are you playing me?"
"Of course not, I wouldn’t dare to play with you. Even if you asked me to play, I’ve got nothing to play with, right?"
Su Ran noticed the sparks in Sang Ze’s eyes and knew the joke might have been taken too far, quickly trying to smooth things over, "Using the Soul-suppressing Hammer to complete the task is too wasteful, it’s somewhat of a shame."
