Chapter 58: Hunting Blade (Second Update)

  As expected, there is no good news about the recommendations. While I'm disappointed, I also feel a bit relieved. Writing three chapters a day has been quite heavy for me. Regardless of the results, I want to thank all book friends. Although this book may still be a flop, I won't give up writing. I'll work hard to revise and summarize lessons, and keep my head down to write diligently.

  －－－－－－－－

  "This is all the information we have collected so far. This is their cryptogram and the agreed upon earnest money, the rest is up to you."

  After nearly a quarter of an hour's conversation, Li Bu-yao made a summary conclusion and handed over several documents and the books he had obtained from Bai Zheng to the unremarkable old man beside Lu Jin.

  Xiao Liu seemed to be afraid that Li would not pay him the deposit, so he snatched the money bag from his hand and counted it over and over again.

  "Are you the leader of this generation? I heard that you intend to change the current situation of Ding Sheng, I wonder what ideas do you have?"

  Lu Jin let out a somewhat helpless sigh, finally waiting for Li Bu Xiang to finish speaking. With an unusual smile on his face, he looked at Li Bu Xiang and Mo Li before opening his mouth to ask.

  "This seems to have nothing to do with you, we just have an employer-employee relationship, I pay and you do things, that's all."

  Li's face was expressionless, like a stone that couldn't be penetrated by oil or salt, and he completely ignored Lu Jin's question, emphasizing the relationship between the two. It was clear that he didn't want to have a deep conversation with Lu Jin.

  "Indeed, but I want to recruit a disciple, and I've taken a fancy to one of your outstanding students. What kind of price would it take for you to let him go?"

  Lu Jin didn't mince words, seeing Li's tough attitude, he revealed a row of white teeth and directly asked, since you emphasize that both parties are in an employer-employee relationship, then I'll talk to you about money. This is what Lu Jin thought in his heart.

  Li's expression, which had remained unchanged for ages, suddenly furrowed his brow. He had already vaguely guessed who the person was that Lu Jin mentioned, no wonder this legendary miserly man would be so generous in treating Zong Yin. There must be some unspoken secret behind their emotions. However, a hint of doubt immediately arose in his heart - what reason could make the three oldest qualified people in Ding Sheng Soul School look at Zong Yin with different eyes? Even Lu Jin in front of him was showing considerable interest in Zong Yin now.

  "No cost is required, as long as you have the ability to keep him alive. You can dig people from our Ding Sheng Empire's elder group and Na Jie at will. Neither of them are joking."

  Although his mind was racing, Li said with a still very casual tone.

  But his last sentence was obviously a warning, the elder group of the empire would not allow anyone to run out of the prosperous cage, and the Na ring in the hands of each prosperous student was not just an ornament, and everyone who wanted to betray the prosperity would not have a good end.

  "Haha, I get it now. Your arrogant attitude is indeed as disgusting as he said."

  Lu Jin nodded seemingly nonchalantly, but his tone had turned several degrees colder. Those familiar with him knew that Lu Jin's anger was already simmering beneath the surface. The expressions of the six people behind him changed simultaneously, like venomous snakes baring their fangs, ready to strike at any moment and deliver a fatal blow.

  Feeling the change in Lu Jin and the six people behind him, Li Bu Xiao and Mo Li were also secretly on guard. The hot-tempered Mo Li had already grasped two short swords, with the red soul technique pattern pulsating like a heartbeat, jumping strangely.

  "Master! That little scoundrel ran off after crashing into the wall! The boss is already coming over to demand compensation from us! The price of that one wall is even more outrageous than buying those few girls!"

  Just as the atmosphere between the two groups was becoming eerie, Xiaoliu's ears suddenly moved, and he spoke loudly, as if the sky was about to fall.

  Li Bu Xie's gaze at Xiao Liu became serious, he could actually hear the sounds outside! To think that the walls of this private room they were in had been specially treated to have excellent soundproofing effects, even if there was thunder outside, it couldn't be heard inside. This small and weak-looking person was actually able to distinguish the external sounds clearly through the wall. Li Bu Xie was certain that Xiao Liu hadn't used any soul techniques, but he had done it! Such an ability Li Bu Xie had only seen once in his life!

  "How interesting! Tell the boss that we are the best students and our leader is right here, let him pay the bill! We're leaving! Haha!"

  Lu Jin heard Xiao Liu's words and was also stunned for a moment. He then swung his sleeves and led the six people behind him to leave, leaving Li Bu Xue and Mo Li with embarrassed expressions.

  "This son of a bitch!"

  When only Li Bu Xie and Mo Li were left in the private room, Mo Li suddenly cursed loudly and struck the wooden table in front of her with a short sword.

  "You've paid for your stay, do you still want to spend the night here?"

  Li shook his head, shook off the long gown on his body, put the hood over his head, and walked out with some fatigue.

  "Big brother! Why are we looking for outsiders' help? Can't we handle it ourselves?"

  Jasmine's eyebrows were furrowed together, and she asked in puzzlement, "In his opinion, even if he cooperated with other soul schools, it would be better than finding these people with unknown backgrounds!"

  "Those few people just now were bounty hunters who roamed between various countries, their members have always been a mystery, but every country welcomed them, as long as you paid the price, they could help clients complete any task, most importantly, they had never failed! And it seemed that Old Man and their leader were old friends. This team was the most famous branch of their organization, you must have also heard of their name, 'Hunters' Blade'!"

  Li did not shout or turn his head, slowly saying that this time he came to find Hunting Blade to cooperate, it was all ordered by Ye Feng. Li seemed to trust this team quite a bit.

  "What are these three sharp objects in Butcher's hand?! How did they appear in Ancient Thai City?"

  When Jasmine heard Li Buqi utter those last two words, she suddenly let out a cry of surprise. Back then when he went out to gain experience, the names Huo Jian and two others were as familiar as thunder, many wanted Soul Masters were easily strangled by them, among whom were some powerful and cunning individuals.

  "I heard that the captain of the Hunting Blade team does things based on his mood, and it's indeed true after seeing him today."

  Li shook his head and shrugged, seemingly unimpressed by Lu Jin's character. He then opened the door and walked out.

  Zong Yin ran out of breath for several streets, casually found an inn to stay in, and was still panting with a lingering fear. However, thinking back now, Zong Yin's heart couldn't help but feel a little itchy again. After all, as a man, occasionally letting loose is necessary. Missing this great opportunity might mean there won't be another chance. And those women earlier had large breasts, long legs, and fair skin...

  "Go away, go away!" He shook his head vigorously, driving out the increasingly depraved thoughts in his mind. Zong Yin took a cold shower on his head, extinguishing the surging flames of desire within him.

  After adjusting his mood and taking a short rest, Zong Yin went out again. The night in Gutaicheng was not subject to curfew, and the night market was tens of times more prosperous than during the day. Zong Yin had missed it last time, but he didn't want to miss it this time.

  After a whole night of eating, drinking and having fun, Zong Yin returned to the hotel with satisfaction near dawn. Rarely giving himself a break, he slept comfortably until he woke up naturally, took a refreshing bath, and then returned to Ding Sheng Soul School.

  Back at Soul Academy, Zong Yin suddenly seemed like a different person. His nerves were once again on edge, and the one day of relaxation per month was enough.

  Thinking about the training plan for the next month in his mind, Zong Yin subconsciously walked towards his own dormitory.

  "Quick retreat!"

  It was just when his ID card had just touched the door of his dormitory, Hun Yu suddenly shouted loudly in his heart, and before Zong Yin could react, a loud noise exploded in his ears, and the dazzling white light also made him unable to open his eyes.

  Zong Yin only felt like he had been hit by a train, enveloped in an extremely weak yellow light, and flew out backwards, heavily crashing into a large tree.

  At this time, Zong Yin's entire face was blown up, and his original appearance could not be seen at all. His chest was a mess of blood and flesh, revealing his ribs, and through the gaps between his ribs, you could even see his heart beating faintly. His right hand, which wore a ring, was injured even more severely, with the front half of his arm completely gone, and several sections of his finger bones missing. He was vomiting large mouthfuls of blood, and for the first time, Zong Yin felt so close to death.

  Fortunately, Hun Yu still had a conscience at the critical moment and used his original soul power to block for Zong Yin, otherwise Zong Yin would probably have been dead by now.

  Completely disregarding the aftereffects of the Qi Hai Shi, countless amounts of Qi flowed into Zonghui's wounded orifices, his flesh and blood recovering at a visible speed, and even the disappeared hand bones were slowly regrowing.

  "Damn it! Malago wall! Ao Fei! You wait for me!"

  This was the first time Zong Yin had cursed since he crossed over, his scarlet eyes staring fixedly at the original location of his dormitory. A huge crater, large enough to be a small artificial lake, suddenly appeared in the middle of a row of dormitories, and even several surrounding dormitories were destroyed together with it in the intense explosion just now. Fortunately, Zong Yin returned early, and there was no one in the neighboring dormitories yet.

  No need to guess, Zong Yin also knew who did it. In the heyday, there were only two people who wanted to kill him, one was Shen Peng and the other was Ao Fei.

  After Shen Peng was beaten half to death by him last time, he would avoid Zong Yin from a distance whenever he saw him, not daring to find trouble with Zong Yin again. The only person who could do such a thing is Ao Fei! He's the only one who has the ability and courage to do such a thing!

  Zong Yin leaned weakly against the tree trunk, panting heavily as he carefully examined his internal injuries and confirmed that his organs were intact. He let out a huge sigh of relief, but to his horror, he discovered that he could no longer sense the presence of Hun Yu!

  "Hun Yu! Are you dead or alive?! If not, respond to me! Don't scare me! All my hopes are on you! What if you're dead?!"

  Zong Yin let out a desperate roar, and it was only at this moment that he realized the position and importance of Hun Yu in his heart. Without Hun Yu, Zong Yin felt as if he had lost his backbone, his entire body weakened.
