Chapter 325: Chapter 318: Thief Saint Ye Wuzong

Zhao Changhe was answering Heavenly Spirit’s questions, but in reality, he was also shaking his determination, making him feel defeated.

Meanwhile, Xia Chichi couldn’t be bothered with that much idle talk, she was in charge of making the moves.

"Clang!" As Zhao Changhe’s last word fell, Bing Po broke into the sword net Heavenly Spirit barely managed to wield, with fierce and sharp Sword Intent charging straight for the Spirit Platform.

Only then did Heavenly Spirit realize, this woman was much stronger than Zhao Changhe... she was a Secret Treasure Level master, as ruthless as they come, hardly inferior in a fair fight with him.

Thinking only about being enticed by the name "First Hidden Dragon Zhao Changhe," he thought Zhao Changhe was the lead, only to realize this woman was the main force!

Now, with Sword Qi churning inside him and toxins burning his meridians, his condition utterly chaotic, how could he face the unmatched sharpness of White Tiger’s Teeth?

Within a single sword exchange, his sword path was completely disrupted, unable to muster any decent defense, left only to rely on his profound steps to dodge again, meanwhile kicking up a half-dead member of the Money Gang from the ground toward Xia Chichi, attempting to delay her.

At the same time, he rushed straight for the corridor’s entrance, intending to escape.

A surge of blood appeared before his eyes as Dragon Sparrow roared towards him.

Zhao Changhe, as soon as the two exchanged blows, had already chopped in this direction, catching precisely Heavenly Spirit’s movement...

Heavenly Spirit spat blood in anger.

Saying that everyone in Kunlun is cunning, this couple is hardly inferior; how on earth did Zhao Changhe contrive his gallant knightly reputation, he’d fit right into Kunlun!

Yet, the one playing a supporting role wasn’t so easy to handle either, the wounded and poisoned Heavenly Spirit really couldn’t break through this seal of a slash, helplessly blocking with his sword, his movements suddenly stopping.

Behind him, Bing Po swiftly approached like thunder, reaching his back in an instant.

Heavenly Spirit only managed to twist his body to avoid a vital spot, Bing Po grazing past his shoulder blade, nearly severing his arm.

Just a few exchanges had left Heavenly Spirit looking like a blood-covered mess, leaning on his sword, half-kneeling on the ground and gasping for breath, his eyes filled with resentment as he glared at them: "All that talk about dislikes, all that talk about knights, you’re really just after the treasure."

Zhao Changhe placed his broadsword on his neck and indifferently said, "You are wrong there... I really don’t want the items in this Pill Furnace. Because if I took them, I truly wouldn’t make it out alive..."

Heavenly Spirit was taken aback.

Xia Chichi gave a slight smile.

She wanted to remind Zhao Changhe about this, seeing that this young man’s fame was not just by fluke, not dumber than her.

Does that mean she could afford to be less clever in the future?

Yet she heard Zhao Changhe continue, "The Poison Spider can already mimic and use the toxins here, meaning she has either cracked the toxin or taken away some key item. Since she’s managed to do all this, she could directly open the furnace and take the items, but she hasn’t yet, she surely wasn’t waiting for you to share, right?"

Heavenly Spirit: "..."

I didn’t know the Poison Spider could use the toxins here.

Zhao Changhe said, "The reason she hasn’t opened it must be that it takes a lot of time. Before, when the toxins hadn’t dispersed, she couldn’t stay long, so she still needed your poison scheme to be completed. The Moyu Token wasn’t taken, her reason being clear, she left it for you to find. Originally, the person supposed to ambush you should have been her, now we’ve just taken her place."

Heavenly Spirit: "..."

"The opening of this Pill Furnace needs either extreme power to forcibly break it open, or a Magic Skill, mostly likely only the Poison Spider who holds the core item can solve it," Zhao Changhe sighed. "The Poison Spider was captured by someone, not by us. The senior waiting outside with the Poison Spider won’t let us kill you but won’t let me take the treasures peacefully either. As long as I don’t touch the Pill Furnace, there shouldn’t be any conflict, and most likely, I can leave... right, Thief Saint Senior?"

From outside the corridor came an elusive voice: "You knew I was outside?"

"There was someone who captured the Poison Spider, there had to be follow-up, they wouldn’t just capture her for fun."

"And why did you think it was me?"

"Heavenly Spirit trafficks Ancient Vessels, everyone wonders if it’s related to the Thief Sect, quite apprehensive. It’s even less likely for the senior to not pay attention, I think this guy might have planned to trap the senior in this too. Not showing any indication directly includes the senior into the calculation, which is illogical; certainly, you have been secretly watching what he’s up to," Zhao Changhe thought for a moment, then added: "The so-called backer of the Money Gang leader is most likely the senior, him provoking Heavenly Spirit might have been encouraged or allowed by the senior."

That voice began to laugh: "Not bad. Since you knew I was watching, then why did you still walk into danger, not afraid I would kill you too?"

"Last night, I asked Heavenly Spirit to relay a message that Zhao Changhe wanted to meet the senior... Whether he really sent the message or not, I suppose since the senior was watching, you would know. I originally wanted to meet the senior, does it matter where?"

Zhao Changhe resolutely said, "Zhao Changhe seeks an audience with Thief Saint Senior, please show yourself."

The laughter grew closer, Zhao Changhe’s vision blurred, and an old man appeared in the room, holding the shriveled Poison Spider.

Zhao Changhe and Xia Chichi bulged their eyes simultaneously.

Isn’t this the old man who was selling wontons last night?

The Thief Saint himself selling wontons!

That’s right, that was on the street near the Yukun Gang, from beginning to end, everything the Yukun Gang did was in the eyes of the Thief Saint, including Xia Chichi’s purchase of the gourd last night, all were clearly seen by the Thief Saint.

Ye Wuzong smiled faintly, "To meet me, haven’t you already met me?"

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Heavenly Spirit, who had been silent, suddenly started to struggle, "Master, master, save me! I didn’t plan against Master, when I graduated, Master said I shouldn’t claim to be from the Thief Sect, but I could use its intimidation, I haven’t disobeyed Master’s intentions..."

Damn, he really is from the Thief Sect?

Ye Wuzong’s gaze fell on him, still with a smile, "Actually, even if you had planned against me, it wouldn’t matter. When you left, I already said, when thieves graduate, they rely on their own abilities."

"Exactly," Heavenly Spirit said joyfully, "When Xiang Simeng stole from Master, Master didn’t mind!"

Ye Wuzong’s smile remained, "But since it’s about relying on their abilities, why should I save you?"

The joy on Heavenly Spirit’s face froze.

Ye Wuzong lightly rubbed Heavenly Spirit’s head, whispering like a caring father, "If you had truly deceived me, like Sisi, I’d have only been happy, seeing it as your skill. But when outsiders openly seek me out possibly concerning sect matters, and you conceal it? Since you don’t regard yourself as a member of the Thief Sect, then never be one."

Terrified, Heavenly Spirit exclaimed, "Master, spare..."

Before he could finish his plea, Ye Wuzong’s concealed power had struck, Heavenly Spirit’s Heavenly Spirit shattered, and he died with a face full of regret.

Zhao Changhe drew back his knife, pressing on Heavenly Spirit’s body, and he and Xia Chichi folded their arms and said nothing.

The Thief Sect obviously was truly evil, their reasons for killing bizarre, it didn’t matter when you deceived or harmed them, but concealing something from an outsider was a serious crime, they executed their apprentice without blinking an eye... Hoping this old wonton seller was kindly was just wishful thinking.

Yet when Ye Wuzong’s gaze fell on their faces, it did appear somewhat kind, "What are you looking for me for?"

"Uh, actually, what I came for isn’t exactly a sect matter..." Zhao Changhe scratched his head, "But since we’ve come to this, I think the Thief Sect and the Four Symbols Sect could discuss some cooperation?"

Right on cue, Xia Chichi continued, "Yes, the Four Symbols Sect has long wanted to talk to the Thief Sect, but has never found the right person."

"Heh..." Ye Wuzong leisurely said, "The Four Symbols Sect in today’s world is too embroiled, it doesn’t align with the Thief Sect’s principles. There’s no major cooperation possible. Of course, we’re all not very decent, all on Tang Wanjuang’s wanted list, on some levels we can still help each other out."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Ye Wuzong continued, "This cooperation isn’t worth us discussing in detail personally, I’m more interested in what Zhao Changhe came to see me for."

No longer speaking, Xia Chichi turned to look at Zhao Changhe.

Zhao Changhe sighed, "I wanted to ask for an Absorption Skill... Initially, I thought, if I helped senior kill Heavenly Spirit, could that count as a favor to exchange? But now it seems, everything was under senior’s control, this favor of mine is pretty foolish, too awkward to mention."

"Absorption Skills..." Ye Wuzong’s face broke into a smile again, "For using a Storage Ring?"

Zhao Changhe blushed, "Senior knows this too..."

"Of course, I know, I even know that the yellow mud on your face is my proprietary formula."

Zhao Changhe suddenly realized he still looked like Wang Daozhong, breaking into a cold sweat. Were he caught stealing the Thief Sect’s core secret skill?

Then he heard Ye Wuzong sigh, "What crap, just dabbing something on counts as Disguise? Didn’t Sisi tell you that the core of Disguise is acting?"

Zhao Changhe quickly glanced at Xia Chichi, seeing she didn’t know who Sisi was, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "I acted quite well, right?"

"Hell no!" Ye Wuzong exploded in anger, "Carrying a Broadsword and calling yourself Wang Daozhong, besides a pig-head, who the hell would fall for that! You don’t even have the Storage Ring, essential for changing outfits and hiding props, how the hell can you learn Disguise? Spoiling my reputation!"

Zhao Changhe: "?"

Then he saw Ye Wuzong casually toss a booklet, "This is the Control Crane Skill, next time I see you Disguising and still fucking carrying the Big Broadsword, I’ll personally ruin your Disguise, disguise your mother!"
