Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Control_1

Now incapable of using mana, the Heaven-Mending Stone was Su Chengyu’s last line of defense for survival. If it weren’t for the stone, he would have fled from the Stinger Sect’s assassin a long time ago.

"I must be damned for eight lifetimes to choose to follow you. I didn’t gain much benefit, but instead became your unpaid bodyguard. You better seek the Northern Abyss Black Stone quickly. If you encounter danger next time, I won’t care whether you live or die."

The Heaven-Mending Stone complained bitterly, feeling like a huge victim. It was a formidable Heaven-Mending Divine Stone, a major player in the Immortal World, surely it deserved some respect?

The assassin from the Stinger Sect had been defeated by the Heaven-Mending Stone. Even if he didn’t die, he would be seriously injured. Su Chengyu approached the ruins slowly. The rubble moving over Duyi stirred, but he was unable to struggle out of the ruins on his own, indicating severe injuries.

With a stomp of Su Chengyu’s right foot, the bricks and stones suppressing Duyi were shattered, revealing a disheveled and bloodied Duyi. He was truly incapacitated at this point and was fully at Su Chengyu’s mercy.

Su Chengyu squatted down and asked directly: "Who’s the employer? Tell me, and I’ll let you live. If you’re stubborn, I’ll snap your neck."

Duyi never expected the mission to fail. The Stinger Sect always investigated the target before deploying an assassin with significantly greater power to ensure the mission’s success.

"I don’t know. I just take orders. The information about the employer is not within my control."

Of course, Duyi didn’t want to die. Assassins were cold-blooded in killing others but not daredevils who didn’t care about their own lives. However, he really couldn’t answer Su Chengyu’s question.

"Then you don’t need to live."

Su Chengyu didn’t want to waste words. Since he couldn’t obtain valuable information, Duyi’s life was worthless. With these words, Su Chengyu prepared to kill Duyi with a slap.

"Killing me is useless. Once the Stinger Sect accepts a mission, they’ll carry it out to the end. If you kill me, they will reassess your power and send an even stronger assassin." Duyi said.

"What does that have to do with me sparing your life? Does your existence bring any benefit or value to me?" Su Chengyu asked.

"Yes. I can help you deal with the Stinger Sect’s assassination." Duyi promptly said.

Su Chengyu prodded his ear and said, "I’m listening."

If he could get rid of the continuous threat from the Stinger Sect, known for managing to assassinate even immortals, it would indeed be a permanent resolution. Su Chengyu wouldn’t be able to endure otherwise.

"If you spare my life, I will find out who the employer is. Once you kill the employer, the Stinger Sect’s mission will stop." Duyi said.

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu pondered for a moment: "Why should I trust you?"

"I am a man of my word. If you spare my life, I will certainly repay the favor. You can rest assured." Duyi said.

Su Chengyu laughed: "Believe the words of an assassin? The first rule for assassins is doing whatever it takes, disregarding the cost, and eliminating the target. You’re talking about credibility with me? Make it practical. My patience is limited."

Duyi realized that the man before him wasn’t easily fooled, saying, "You can record my words. If I break my word, you can upload the video to the Nine Heavens Dark Web, the Stinger Sect won’t let me off."

"Not a bad idea. But finding the employer’s information is not enough. You need to kill him." Su Chengyu said.

Duyi’s life was in Su Chengyu’s hands, and he had to agree, saying, "Once I have dealt with the employer, you must delete the video."

"No problem at all, but I still don’t completely trust you." After saying this, Su Chengyu took out a black pill and made Duyi swallow it.

The pill, a product of the Earthly Fiend Black Lotus seed collected from a grave, combined with other poisonous ingredients was forged by Su Chengyu and kept in the Cui Xia Ring. It had never been put into use before.

"This is a unique poison of mine, and you are the first to take it. You should feel fortunate. After taking the pill, every three months, you need to consume an antidote to suppress the poison. If not, you will bleed from your orifices and die."

"No way! If I eat this poison, won’t I be at your mercy, becoming your puppet? I’d rather die." Duyi said.

"Then you can go die."

Su Chengyu put away the pill and grabbed Duyi’s neck, preparing to break it. Duyi felt fear at that moment. As an assassin, he casually took lives but cherished his own. Duyi feared death.

"I’ll eat it, I’ll eat it!"

Duyi thought that the man before him was a waste for not being an assassin; decisive in murder, calm, and wise. Those were the qualities of an assassin.

Su Chengyu forced the poison pill into Duyi’s mouth, then rescued him from the ruins, asking, "How long will it take you to find the employer and kill him?"

"The information about the employer is highly confidential and difficult to access. Even if I find the information, the employer might be very formidable, and I may not be able to kill him. It will take at least three months." Duyi said.

"Whether you can kill him is your problem, not mine. So, three months. Eliminate the employer and come find me for the antidote. Otherwise, wait for the poison to act and die."

Su Chengyu would not show pity to Duyi and certainly didn’t need to be polite with him.

Duyi lamented within. He initially thought the mission would be easy, but he unexpectedly met a ruthless man and got himself involved.

"That... Didn’t you want to hire the Stinger Sect to kill someone? I’ll kill him for you, and you give me the antidote."

Unwilling to be led by others from now on, Duyi negotiated with Su Chengyu.

"Sounds good. As long as you can kill him, I’ll give you the antidote straightaway." Su Chengyu agreed readily.

Upon hearing this, Duyi seemed to see hope and quickly asked, "Who do you want to kill, you need to give me some information."

"You can find his information on the internet. His name is the Sect Master of Dragon Soul. You can go ahead and kill him." Su Chengyu said.

Upon hearing this, Duyi was completely furious inside, questioning whether Su Chengyu was messing with him.

Seeing Duyi’s dark grimace, Su Chengyu slapped him on the shoulder and said, "Good luck. I look forward to hearing the good news."

Once Su Chengyu left, Duyi clenched his fists, and the murderous look in his eyes became chilling. However, it quickly disappeared. He wished he could tear Su Chengyu to pieces.

Duyi swallowed a healing pill from the Stinger Sect, despite his severe injuries, he quickly left the area. This assassination mission had been a total loss.

After some distance, Su Chengyu finally called Liu Yan to assure her of his safety. Liu Yan, having been taken to the team by Fang Qing, felt relieved after the call.
