Chapter 750: Chapter 750: Do You Even Have Integrity?

Although Li Ao was fast in his movement technique, how could he be faster than Fang Bai?

Just as he moved, he saw a blur before his eyes, and Fang Bai had already appeared right in front of him, blocking his path.

Fang Bai had just used the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade to slay Wei He, and the intense killing Qi and the bloody evil Qi had not yet dispersed from his body. Coming with the momentum of a great victory, Li Ao, when facing him, couldn’t help but feel his heart race and his legs involuntarily go weak.

"Let me go, and all the wealth of Ghost Doctor Valley will be yours, the spiritual medicines of Myriad Medicines Mountain, too!"

Li Ao knew that if Fang Bai could kill Supreme Elder Wei He, it would be even easier to kill him. To save his own life, he had no choice but to cast aside everything else.

"If I kill you, everything here will still be mine!"

Fang Bai sneered and slowly advanced toward Li Ao.

Li Ao, looking at Fang Bai who was exuding killing Qi and stepping closer, showed a look of terror in his eyes. His complexion changed repeatedly before he suddenly said loudly, "If you agree to let me go, in addition to the wealth and spiritual medicines I just mentioned, I... I have other treasures to give you!"

"Treasures? Ha, I have no interest in your treasures!"

Fang Bai continued his approach, now only two zhang away from Li Ao.

In Fang Bai’s opinion, the so-called treasures of Li Ao were probably a collection of rarities and some low-grade spirit stones and spiritual medicines. However, Fang Bai himself had plenty of those and indeed did not hold them in high regard.

Moreover, even if Li Ao could offer treasures that would intrigue Fang Bai, there was already irreconcilable enmity between Fang Bai and Ghost Doctor Valley; to eliminate future troubles, Fang Bai could not let Li Ao go.

Seeing that Fang Bai was unmoved, Li Ao couldn’t help but panic. With a flip of his right hand, a blue Essence Stone appeared in his palm and he said, "Are you interested in such Essence Stones?"

Fang Bai’s eyes fell on the blue Essence Stone in Li Ao’s hand, sensing the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy contained within it. His heart leaped with joy, yet on the surface, he remained impassive and asked, "Where did you get this Wood Element Stone?"

"Although you’re trying to appear calm, I can still see that you’re very interested in this Essence Stone from the look in your eyes..."

Li Ao, fixating on Fang Bai’s eyes, continued, "Since that’s the case, then we can make a deal, right?"

Fang Bai asked, "How many of such Essence Stones do you have?"

To be honest, Fang Bai was indeed very interested in the Essence Stone that Li Ao held, for it was a mid-grade Essence Stone. As a resource to aid a martial artist’s cultivation, mid-grade Essence Stones play a much more significant role than lower-grade ones.

Hearing that Fang Bai seemed somewhat more relaxed in his tone, Li Ao felt a rush of joy and said, "I still have thousands, even tens of thousands. I will give them all to you if you spare me!"

Fang Bai asked, "Where are those Essence Stones of yours?"

Li Ao shook his head and said, "I will not tell you now! Let me leave first, and I will send someone to inform you later, to tell you the exact location of the Essence Stones. If you try to find them on your own, you won’t be able to find them for a lifetime!"

Fang Bai laughed and said, "Do you think I am a fool? If I let you go, and you disappear without a trace, where am I supposed to find you?"

Li Ao said loudly, "I give you my word as a guarantee..."

"Word?"

Fang Bai laughed loudly and said, "You’re talking about your word with me? Do you even possess such a thing?"

Li Ao raged, "What do I need to do to make you believe me?"

Fang Bai said, "It’s simple. You hand over the Essence Stone, and I’ll let you go!"

Li Ao retorted, "And what’s to make me trust you?"

Fang Bai replied, "Do you have any other choice besides trusting me?"

Following Wei He’s downfall, the disciples of Ghost Doctor Valley lost all will to fight and surrendered one after another. The several Heaven Level Experts who had allied with Ghost Doctor Valley shook off the entanglement of Gui Hongzhi and the other four Sect Masters. They abandoned their own disciples and fled to an unknown location, and the surrounding battles quickly came to an end.

Long Jingtian, Mu Xiantian, and the others, now without adversaries, rushed towards Fang Bai’s position. Six Heaven Level experts, joined by Fang Bai, encircled Li Ao.

After scanning his surroundings, Li Ao knew he was trapped and let out a weary sigh. He said to Fang Bai, "Fine, I’ll tell you the location of the hidden Essence Stones, but you have to agree before all these witnesses to let me go."

In both the secular world and the Ancient Martial World of the Hidden Sect, martial artists value their pledged word above all else. They dare not break it lightly for fear of being scorned by all martial artists. This was the only demand Li Ao could make of Fang Bai now.

Fang Bai nodded and said, "Alright, as long as you reveal the location of the Essence Stones, I promise to spare you!"

Li Ao hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth, pointed toward the Valley Master Hall and said, "Beneath the Valley Master Hall lies a treasure vault; the Essence Stones are within it. The mechanism to the vault’s entrance is on the armrest to the left of the Valley Master’s seat—push the protruding spot there, and the hidden entrance to the treasure vault will automatically open... I’ve told you everything, now you should let me go, right?"

As he spoke, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense enveloped Li Ao, closely observing his slightest expressions, detecting his heartbeat, pulse, breathing rate, and even the flow rate of his blood in order to ensure he was not lying.

"Very good, you haven’t lied..."

Fang Bai smiled, no longer paying attention to Li Ao, and turned towards the Valley Master Hall.

"Senior Fang, are you... Are you really just going to let him go?"

Mu Xiantian asked in urgent tones, watching Fang Bai’s retreating figure.

Having killed Wei He, if everyone banded together to finish off Li Ao, Ghost Doctor Valley, that thorn in their side, could be completely dealt with. But permitting Li Ao to leave would leave infinite trouble for the future.

The Sect Masters of the five great sects were a thousand times, ten thousand times, unwilling, but with Fang Bai’s formidable strength, if he insisted on releasing Li Ao, they wouldn’t dare to object.

"I only said that I would agree to spare him; did you agree? And as for those surrendered disciples of Ghost Doctor Valley, I merely said to grant them a way to live—I didn’t say their cultivation couldn’t be crippled! What to do next doesn’t need further explanation from me. You should know..."

After dropping these words, Fang Bai’s movements became like flowing clouds and streaming water, suddenly quickening his pace, and in the blink of an eye, he swept into the Valley Master Hall of Ghost Doctor Valley.

The disciples of the five great sects watched Fang Bai enter the Valley Master Hall, not daring to follow him without his permission due to his overwhelming power. They thought to themselves that Ghost Doctor Valley had been dominant in the Hidden Sect World for many years, and there must be countless treasures in their vault. They only hoped that Fang Bai wouldn’t claim them all for himself and would share some with them.

But even if Fang Bai were to take all the treasure for himself, they would feel discontent but could say nothing.

After all, today’s great victory was almost entirely Fang Bai’s merit. Without him slaying Wei He, the disciples of the five great sects might now be facing the same fate as that of Ghost Doctor Valley’s disciples.

"Right, Senior Fang only said that he himself would spare old Li, but none of us agreed—haha... old Li, meet your death!"

Mu Xiantian, with a hearty laugh, looked at Li Ao’s ashen and exasperated face, exchanged glances with Long Jingtian, Gui Hongzhi, and the others, and they jointly launched an attack on Li Ao.
