As he got closer and closer, he could confirm that it was Zhao Kuang through the weak candlelight.
When he reached the bridge, he did not walk straight to the first building. Instead, he stood there with his head lowered as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, he finally took a step forward. When he reached the ninth building, he stopped and raised his head with a deep sense of suspicion.
"Shhh!"
Wutian made a shushing gesture and retracted his aura to the extreme. He did not dare to breathe too loudly.
Finally, Zhao Kuang left. He walked to the first building's entrance but did not enter immediately. He stood there and looked at the dark sky as if he was waiting for something. Occasionally, he would let out a weak sigh with a hint of helplessness.
Wutian and Liu Yan looked at each other with a trace of doubt.
Time passed by slowly. When it was midnight, a light breeze blew over and extinguished the few candles hanging on the branches. The place was completely dark and could not be seen.
"Tap, tap …"
Messy footsteps sounded from the other side of the lake. They were extremely weak and could not be heard if one did not pay attention. Wutian's mind was restless. He knew that the main character of the night had arrived. The killing intent in his body boiled uncontrollably and spread out.
Han Tian felt that something was wrong. He patted on Chen Fan's back and a gentle energy flowed into his body, nourishing it. His restless mood quickly calmed down and the killing intent also disappeared. It was suppressed in his body and there was no difference.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as they crossed the wooden bridge. Although no one could see them, judging from the sound of the footsteps, there should be three people. One of them had light footsteps, while the other one seemed to be walking lightly. Wutian guessed that they should be Liu Yan and Huo Shi, while the last one was walking with heavy footsteps.
The footsteps quickly passed the ninth building and did not stop. Not long after, the door creaked open.
Wutian and Liu Yan did not act immediately. They waited for a while before jumping down and running towards the first building. Their footsteps were light and did not make any sound.
The room was the same as last night. There was no light and it was completely dark. Wutian and Liu Yan squatted by the window and listened carefully. Only the little fellow was unhappy. Didn't they say that they were looking for treasures? It felt that it had been cheated.
"Have you finished considering?" It was still that hoarse voice that questioned.
"We can do it, but there are two conditions. First, this is the last time. In the future, don't come to find the Zhao Family, and we won't go to the Fire Cloud Sect. Secondly, after the transaction, you must remove your control over us. "Zhao Kuang's tone was resolute and decisive.
The hoarse voice had a hint of surprise as it said, "You guys really don't want to return to the sect with me? You should know that this is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, it won't be again."
"Haha, the Zhao Family is indebted to the Yan Sect, yet we did such a disloyal thing. After so many years, we've also thought it through. Fame, power, and status are all just a joke. It's better to live a carefree life. Don't worry, after this, everyone from the Zhao Clan will completely disappear and won't bring you any trouble. "
The room was silent for a moment. Then, a hoarse voice said, "Alright. Since you have decided, I might as well do you a favor and fulfill your wishes. Elder Wu, give him the 'Drunken Dream'. Right, I heard that there was a huge battle during the day. One was the Metal and Wind Dual Spiritual Body, while the other was the successor of the War God Sikong Lie. Is that true? "
"I don't know the specifics. At that time, I was searching for geniuses in the town. When I returned, I only heard people talking about it. However, looking at the scene after the battle, those two were indeed extraordinary." Zhao Kuang said truthfully.
"Haha, interesting. We need to take care of those two. We can't let them run away. Alright, you can leave!"
Wutian originally wanted to leave, but was stopped by Han Tian, who indicated for him to continue.
"Creak!" Following the soft sound of the door opening, Zhao Kuang walked out and walked towards the long bridge, quickly disappearing.
"Young Sect Leader, are you really planning to remove your control over the Zhao Family?" Within the room, a voice that was filled with energy and a trace of doubt sounded.
"Haha, am I a merciful person? After this, the sect will have more than thirty thousand disciples. That's enough. The Zhao Family no longer has any value. That was just a temporary measure. After all, their power here isn't bad. If we push them too far, it will bring unnecessary trouble. "
"Young Sect Leader is wise."
"Elder Wu, tell the people in other places that they don't need to gather together this time. Open the world gate and leave separately. This is the last time. I don't want any accidents."
Wutian was finally sure that this hoarse voice belonged to Huo Shi. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he first heard it last night.
He clenched his fists. The death of his grandfather and the villagers were still vivid in his mind. The suppressed killing intent in his body couldn't help but rise.
"Who is it?"
"Bang!" The window exploded. Wood splinters flew everywhere. A blurry figure appeared. His eyes flickered like two bright lamps as he scanned the surroundings.
"Croak!" A frog croak sounded. A Demon Frog jumped into the bush.
"Who is it?"
"Young Sect Leader, it's just a Demon Frog."
"Demon Frog? What a coincidence! "
"Senior Brother, we can't stay here for long. We should leave quickly."
"En, let's go."
"Creak!" The door opened again. Three sets of footsteps walked out. They walked towards the opposite side of the lake until the footsteps disappeared completely. Rustling sounds came from the bush beside the window. Two figures walked out one after the other.
"That really scared me to death. Brother Wu, how much hatred do you have with them? You actually couldn't control your emotions. If it wasn't for Little Fellow, you and I would've been finished." Han Tian patted his chest with lingering fear and said suspiciously.
"Blood feud." Wutian replied indifferently. He picked up Little Fellow and walked back to his residence.
"What a strange person." Han Tian mumbled and chased after him.
In the room, Wutian sat on the wooden chair with his brows tightly knitted. He had thought too simply of the situation. Huo Shi and the others came prepared this time. Not only the three of them, but even Elder Wu could feel a strong pressure from them. If they were to fight, he could be smashed into pieces with a single slap. He couldn't help but reconsider.
"I need more rewards." Wutian said.
Han Tian was startled. He said, "Didn't we agree that I would help you kill Huo Shi?"
"Not enough." Wutian shook his head. The situation this time was too serious. Without more benefits, he didn't want to take the risk. He could've just left.
Han Tian frowned. He pondered for a while and said, "There isn't much danger in this mission. You only need to pretend to take the 'Drunken Dream' and follow them. When you reach the place, there will naturally be someone to save you."
Wutian didn't say anything. He just stared at him.
"Stubborn guy. Fine, tell me, what do you want?" Han Tian said helplessly.
"Ten thousand Essence Qi."
Han Tian rejected, "Impossible. A genius only gets one thousand Essence Qi every month. I can give you two thousand at most."
"Nine thousand."
"Too high. I can't make the decision."
Wutian said in a low voice, "Six thousand Essence Qi. No, I will leave immediately."
"You …" Han Tian glared at him. He pointed at him and couldn't say anything for a while. In the end, he compromised and said, "Six thousand it is. But you have to listen to my arrangements."
"What do you want?" Seeing him reach out his hand, Han Tian was puzzled.
Wutian said expressionlessly, "Deposit. Half of it. I don't trust you."
"Eh! Damn, bastard. You are so realistic. " Han Tian cursed in his heart. Helpless, he took out a black bag and threw it over. He said angrily, "Here is three thousand Essence Qi. Take it and spend it."
"Mustard Seed Bag!"
Wutian stared at the black bag in his hand. It was actually a mustard seed bag. It could store a lot of things without increasing the weight. It was very convenient to carry around. He had dreamed of having one.
"I really don't know how you got along in the Fire Cloud Sect. You are even so curious about a mustard seed bag. Freak!" Han Tian said with disdain.
"Gua!" The little guy's eyes lit up. It stared at the black bag and drooled. It wasn't interested in the mustard seed bag, but the sparkling Essence Qi inside.
With a swoosh, it rushed over and grabbed the bag, snatching it away. It landed on the ground and weighed it a bit. Then, it covered its chest and howled at Wutian. What it meant was, 'You lied to me just now, and I even saved you. This is my compensation and reward.'
Wutian's veins bulged, but he didn't flare up.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the little guy took it as a tacit agreement. It was still holding a grudge against him for lying to it before. Now that it was all gone, it felt as if it had eaten honey.
"Tsk tsk, the Swallowing Origin Frog that is ranked tenth on the list of strange beasts is indeed extraordinary. Brother Wu, this little brother is really envious!" Han Tian said in amazement.
"Gua!" Someone praised it. The little guy was even more proud. It winked at him happily.
Wutian said seriously, "Do you have any plans?"
"Not at the moment." Han Tian shook his head and said, "We have to find a way to find out where the Zhao family and Huo Shi are meeting. Only then can we make a plan. Also, I'm guessing that the location this time might be different from the previous years."
"That's not easy." Wutian frowned. The Zhao family and Huo Shi definitely wouldn't leak such an important information.
"Hehe, Brother Wu, it seems like you've underestimated my Yan Sect's power. As long as the location of the transaction is in this area, it won't be able to escape our investigation. However, it will take some time. What we need to do is to remain ignorant as usual. "
Han Tian took out two herbs and said, "This is Rejuvenation Grass. It can cure hundreds of poisons. I'm guessing that the Zhao family will make a move soon. After all, there are so many people. If they move in large numbers, it will attract attention. I think they'll make their move one by one, so I'll give you the antidote first in case something unexpected happens. "
"Only two?"
"I know what Brother Wu is worried about. Don't worry, Drunken Dream is just a kind of knockout drug. As long as you take the antidote within seven days, it won't cause any harm to the little girl's body." Han Tian smiled.
Wutian shook his head and said, "I don't believe you. Give me the antidote."
"Eh! Brother Wu, can't you be more reserved? "
Han Tian was very depressed. He was a talented and handsome man. No matter how he looked at him, he didn't look like a bad person. Why didn't he believe him? It was fine if he didn't believe him, but why did he have to say it out loud? Moreover, it wasn't just once.
Han Tian took out two more stalks of Rejuvenation Grass and threw them over, saying, "Since we can't talk, goodbye."
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
