"You're right, if I hadn't taken the initiative to hand over the sword embryo, even if you killed me and dissected my corpse, it would have been useless. But how can I trust you to keep your promise and let me go when you get the sword embryo? "Shen Luo pondered for a moment before asking.
"You're a fish on my chopping block, do you have any other choice but to believe me?" Qian Tong heard this but didn't care at all and asked unhurriedly.
"If Fellow Daoist says so, then I'd rather fight to the death than fall into Your Excellency's trap," Shen Luo said without hesitation.
After Shen Luo said this, his Knowledge Sea fell silent for a while …
"Fellow Daoist, why do you have to do this? I'm different from those two from the Body Refining Altar. I don't have any ambition to become the Holy Master, I'm just a businessman who only cares about profit. As long as you're willing to honestly hand over the sword embryo to me without reservation, I have a way to let you escape alive. After all, where there's life, there's hope. I don't need to say this, Fellow Daoist should be clear about this, "After a while, Qian Tong's voice sounded again with a hint of bewitchment.
"Sure enough, it's the Body Refining Altar again," Shen Luo's brow rose as he thought to himself.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have much time to think about it, those two aren't easy to fool," Qian Tong saw Shen Luo remain silent and urged.
"As long as I hand over the sword embryo, you'll really let me go?" Shen Luo frowned and asked.
"When doing business, integrity is naturally the most important thing. What's more, this is a win-win situation, so why wouldn't I agree?" Qian Tong saw him wavering and immediately said with a smile.
After Shen Luo heard this, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Tell me, how can I escape safely?"
"It's simple, as long as you hand over the sword embryo to me, I'll let the Evil Spirits open a gap. You can hide your aura and escape on your own. If they want to activate the formation, they won't be suspicious of this place. "
Saying so, Qian Tong raised his hand and waved, causing the black mucus around Shen Luo's body to disperse, leaving him some space to move about.
"Since Your Excellency is so sincere … I naturally don't need to lose my life in vain for a sword embryo. However, once I release this sword embryo, there will be magic power fluctuations that will be released and they will know," Shen Luo said with some concern.
"That's not a problem. I'll also enter the fiend's body. As long as the sword embryo doesn't leave the fiend's body, I'll put it away and they won't be able to detect it." Qian Tong seemed to have planned everything and said impatiently.
Shen Luo transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist, you're the most meticulous one. So be it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mucus around him retreated again, and the space around him expanded several times.
At that moment, the evil ghost's abdomen suddenly split open and Qian Tong's figure flashed in, standing a few dozen metres away from Shen Luo as he smiled towards him.
"May I know Fellow Daoist's name?" Qian Tong asked.
"This one's surname is Shen, just a nobody in Blue Water Sect, not worth mentioning," Shen Luo cupped his fists and said.
He had been using Water Attribute Secret Arts all this time, so he had pretended to be a disciple of Blue Water Sect.
"Oh, you're a disciple of Blue Water Sect?" Qian Tong heard this and asked in surprise.
Shen Luo nodded.
"In that case, we do have some history. I have a close relationship with one of your Sect's Elders, so letting you go today can be considered an act of friendship," Qian Tong said with a smile on his face.
"May I ask who this Fellow Daoist is …" Shen Luo pretended to be confused and asked.
"This one is the Yin God of Wealth, Shen Daoyou, have you heard of me before?" Qian Tong asked.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Qian Tong of the Ghost of Wealth, it's an honour to meet you," Shen Luo immediately cupped his fists and said.
Regarding this person's name, Yang Kai had indeed heard of him, knowing that he was a Ghost Cultivator who reaped the riches of the dead. It was just that the rumours said he was a lone Rogue Cultivator, so Yang Kai hadn't expected him to be a subordinate of the Body Refining Altar.
"Since we're old acquaintances, Shen Daoyou should feel relieved, right? Let's complete the transaction quickly, otherwise, Daoist Cang Mu and the others will become suspicious, "Qian Tong urged with a smile on his face.
"I was thinking the same thing. Fellow Daoist Qian might as well open a small gap first, then I'll hand over the sword embryo to you, how about it?" Shen Luo glanced around and said with some hesitation.
Saying so, he flicked his wrist and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo appeared in his palm, but the light on its surface was restrained and there were almost no fluctuations of magic power coming from it.
Qian Tong's eyes fell on the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and suddenly lit up.
"Since Fellow Daoist Shen has already shown his sincerity, there's no need for me to be overly sentimental." After he finished speaking, he drew a line in front of him with his finger, and the black mucus in front of him split open into a thin line.
"Many thanks."
Shen Luo thanked him before raising his hand and tossing the Pure Yang Sword Embryo to Qian Tong. At the same time, his figure flickered and he rushed towards the crack.
The Pure Yang Sword Embryo slowly floated through the void, seemingly without the slightest offensive power.
Qian Tong's face lit up with joy and he reached out to grab it.
However, the moment the Pure Yang Sword Embryo approached Qian Tong, a sword cry rang out from it, as if it had suddenly come to life, and a red light flashed from it before shooting straight towards Qian Tong's heart.
Qian Tong seemed to have expected this and didn't show the slightest panic on his face, continuing to grab the Pure Yang Sword Embryo with one hand while waving his other hand towards Shen Luo.
Just as Shen Luo rushed to the crack, there was a flash of black light, and the crack healed completely. The thick black mucus from all directions pounced on him again, like the tentacles of a living creature, wrapping around his body.
Waves after waves of Baleful Yin Energy surged towards him and invaded his body.
On the other side, the sound of metal colliding rang out as Qian Tong, who had at some point put on a silver metal glove, grabbed the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.
No matter how the Pure Yang Sword Embryo flashed, it was unable to break free.
"Heh heh, Shen Daoyou, it's not that this one didn't keep his word, it's you who didn't keep your word and maliciously attacked me, so don't blame this one for breaking this deal."
Qian Tong looked at Shen Luo, the smile on his face becoming more and more wanton.
Shen Luo heard this and didn't argue, instead just staring at the other party coldly, his hands quietly forming a seal in his sleeves.
"Good, now that the Pure Yang Sword Embryo is in my hand, there's no need to talk nonsense with you, I'll send you on your way. Rest assured, out of consideration for our friendship, I'll make sure to give you a quick death, "Qian Tong saw that Shen Luo didn't have any intention of answering and immediately lost interest.
Saying so, he raised his hand and grasped at the void.
The black mucus on the other side suddenly tightened and squeezed Shen Luo's body.
Accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, Shen Luo's sternum caved in and his face twisted in pain, as if he couldn't even breathe.
