The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 748 - 416 Qianjin Hall Hall Master_2
"I said, on the day Duanmu Yan was annihilated, I was there," she almost repeated the sentence again.
"Annihilate? You say annihilate?" His eyes finally revealed a sharp glimmer, as if to pierce someone utterly, then he spoke word by word, "Even Langya only told me Duanmu Yan had escaped. And what you’re talking about is annihilation?"
She caught him slipping up, directly calling the name of the Sect Leader of Hidden Stream, Immortal Tribulation Langya, showing in his heart, he really had no great respect for this person. Thinking this, her gaze remained bold and unrestricted: "Correct." Then she took out Tusk, flashed it before his eyes, and then put it away again.
At this moment, Tusk naturally transformed into the likeness of the Demon Skull Divine Sword. If he could recognize Duanmu Yan as one of Yin Jiu You’s avatars, he should also recognize this famous weapon.
As expected, upon seeing the Demon Skull, Gongshu Zhao’s eyes lit up frighteningly, he gave her a thorough up and down look several times, and said solemnly: "It seems that ’Storm’ has also fallen into your hands. Who exactly are you, and how were you able to take his life?" His gaze was so intense it made it difficult for someone to even breathe. Ning Xiaoxian actually felt her mind momentarily stifled, hurriedly reciting the True One Technique internally before she could feel her Divine Power operating smoothly again. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Such terrifying eyes.
Only the two of them understood the implications of his words. The supernatural powers of a Soul Cultivator were extremely troublesome, especially skilled in soul transfer using another’s body, almost as if possessing nine lives, not that easy to annihilate. Even one of Yin Jiu You’s avatars was no easy task. Otherwise, why would Gongshu Zhao expend so much effort to collect God Slaying Thunder?
If there was another way to kill Yin Jiu You, he would definitely search for it with all his might.
Ning Xiaoxian smiled and switched to a transmission: "Just like you, a person who cannot share the same sky with him. I have my methods, which I prefer not to disclose. However, I did learn from Duanmu Yan that his westward journey this time was actually for you."
She noticed, when she mentioned "cannot share the same sky," an odd look appeared on Gongshu Zhao’s face, she thought this might have stirred some vendetta in his heart, and did not ponder further. She then relayed tidbits she had gathered from Duanmu Yan’s memories, including how Duanmu Yan had followed Qianjin Hall’s trail to the Desert City, had hooked up with Chun Yijing to obtain Qianjin Hall’s secrets, and finally got news of the re-cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Fruit before hurrying to Hidden Stream and so forth.
After listening, Gongshu Zhao was silent for a long while.
"No matter what, Duanmu Yan received an order from his True Body to thoroughly investigate Qianjin Hall, even though he wasn’t clear about the reason," Ning Xiaoxian concluded, "This indicates that Yin Jiu You is targeting you."
The moment the words "Yin Jiu You" left her mouth, the man opposite abruptly lifted his head!
"You know of Yin Jiu You?" He seemed like a changed person, his eyes suddenly turning very cold.
She shrugged her shoulders: "If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have helped Senior Nangong deliver the God Slaying Thunder to you. Why wouldn’t I keep such a useful item to deal with him myself? If it weren’t for the fact that in your hands it could be turned into a more powerful trick tool, I wouldn’t have traveled a thousand miles to deliver the Divine Thunder. There’s no need to ask what my grudge with him is. After the Middle Ages War, are there few left in this world who hold a grudge against him?"
"Have you seen him, do you have a feud with him?" His expression was indifferent, but she saw a trace of eeriness.
"Yes, that kind of deep hatred where it needs to end with either your death or mine." She smiled, "Just like the kind between you and him."
He didn’t ask her how she knew. Going to great lengths to collect God Slaying Thunder to deal with Yin Jiu You, how could their enmity be shallow?
He watched her silently for a long time, making her feel a bit numb, before he lightly said: "I always feel it’s not that simple. It seems you haven’t told your little secret to the intermediaries of Hidden Stream. Guess what would happen if I revealed it to them, how would they treat you?"
"How would they treat me?" Ning Xiaoxian spoke nonchalantly, "I’ve already stayed here for a full month, my life and death are in the hands of the people of Hidden Stream. Besides, which demon in these mountains doesn’t carry their own little secret? My secret, in the eyes of Hidden Stream, is nothing much." If not for demons who were at the end of their rope, who would join Hidden Stream? In other words, which demon that sought refuge in the Ba Snake Mountain Range didn’t have their own unspeakable history? Hidden Stream had long declared to the world that no matter which demon sought their refuge, their past actions would not be pursued. If someone dared to seek vengeance within their territory, that would mean making an enemy of Hidden Stream. Unless Hidden Stream wanted to slap its own face, it would never dig up secrets from the demon crowd.
Her attitude amused him, and he suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Alright. You’ve divulged so much information to me, as a trade, what do you want from me?"
She took out a piece of Slaughter God Thunder from her bosom that she had got from Cold Pond: "This item, should be your experimental product for annihilating Soul Cultivators, right?"
"Correct." He nodded, but did not reach out to take it.
"My first condition is that I want more sample products — rest assured, I can help you test its effectiveness. I have a feeling it will come in handy very soon." If she didn’t encounter Yin Jiu You, she could use Tu Jin as a test subject, right? After all, both of them are Soul Cultivators.
Tu Jin, who was in the distance, suddenly shivered for no reason at all.
"That’s a trifle. I can hand over seven sets of trick tools to you, all with the same function," Gongshu Zhao’s face was expressionless, "What else? Your conditions can’t just be this one, right?"
"The second condition is a mutually beneficial one: we maintain contact and exchange information about Yin Jiu You in the future. Well, as far as I know, Yin Jiu You’s True Body should have originally stayed in Guangcheng Palace causing upheavals, but I don’t know if he will sense anything after I killed Duanmu Yan."
