Chapter 132 Immortal Law_3
Only then did his heart feel a bit relieved, "This man, with merely the Refining Internal Organs Perfection and seriously injured by me, what should I do with him next? Shall I kill him or hand him over to you?"
After pondering for a moment, Chen Sansi said, "Hand him over to me."
"Hmph!"
Wen Zhi, as if tossing out trash, threw the half-dead man in black over.
He shouted at the young general's retreating back, "Chen Sansi, I will kill you!"
"Master Wen."
Chen Sansi stopped in his tracks and suddenly said, "Do you feel wronged?"
Wen Zhi was taken aback.
"Your son wanted to kill me, should I simply accept my fate as a fish on the chopping board? I'll leave you with a saying,"
Chen Sansi's face was expressionless, "To not teach one's child is the father's fault."
"You, you mean to say this is all my fault?!"
Wen Zhi indignantly said, "Then I shall also kill you, I want a fair duel with you, to determine the superior, to decide life or death! Aren't you the Transformation and Mysterious Body? I'll wait until you break through to Martial Saint!"
"Fine."
Chen Sansi promised, "If Master Wen truly intends this, I will face you in the arena when the time comes."
"To not teach one's child is the father's fault..."
Wen Zhi stood in the night breeze, silently contemplating this phrase.
He was all too aware that it was his son who had made things difficult first.
But the deep-seated hatred of bloodshed was not easy to dispel from one's thoughts!
A fair duel was something the other party had agreed to.
By then, even if he were to beat him to death on the arena, the Elephant Sect would have nothing to say!
"I, merely at the Refining Internal stage, have set a life-and-death match with a Martial Saint."
Chen Sansi felt somewhat helpless as he carried the man in black back home.
"My lord..."
Si Qinmohua had been waiting at the door, scared out of her wits.
Chen Sansi asked, "Did you say earlier that something was thrown into the yard?"
"Yes."
Si Qin brought over a letter, still tied to a stone.
"Good, do not disturb the lady, tell her it's nothing, and to go to bed early."
After giving instructions, Chen Sansi went to the firewood shed.
He bound the unconscious man in black securely with rope, then removed the mask to reveal a delicate face underneath, one that looked about the same age as Si Qinmohua.
"A woman?"
Chen Sansi, looking at her serene features, was somewhat taken aback.
He picked up an arrow as though it were a dagger and first severed the black-clad person's hand and foot tendons, ensuring she couldn't move. After applying medicine to stop the bleeding and keep her alive, he sat down quietly to wait.
He had a reason for bringing this person back.
Because...
He had seen a hint of Qingxuan Energy on her!
That's right. Explore new worlds at empire
The same type of energy that was inside Sun Xiangzong's body.
Only it was incredibly faint, almost invisible unless looked at closely, and easy to overlook.
If one were to make a comparison, it would be like the difference between the bright moon and the light of fireflies.
That's why Chen Sansi had decided to bring her back to find out the truth.
Moreover, the fact that she was almost killed outright indicated that this slight trace of Qingxuan Energy couldn't possibly be enough to save her life, otherwise, she would have used it by now.
Of course, it was still better to disable her first, to be on the safe side.
"Is there really a method to absorb Qingxuan Energy?"
Chen Sansi was certain it was no coincidence.
He wasn't sure whether he could uncover a thing or two after becoming an apprentice.
If he couldn't get clear answers from this person, he could also take her to the Governor Mansion.
He pulled out a letter, and after opening it, there were only a few words inside.
"Please, General Chen, come to the Red Sleeve Tower for a meeting three days later."
"Red Sleeve Tower?"
Chen Sansi recalled the name, which seemed to be a famous brothel in Liangzhou.
What did they want him to do?
Why didn't they invite him before, but sought him out right after he triumphed at Selected Point, obviously having an ulterior motive?
...
About two or three hours later.
The woman in black gradually woke up.
Then, she cried.
Chen Sansi scolded, "Shut up!"
The woman cried even harder.
"I told you to shut up!"
"Clang—"
Chen Sansi drew the Zhenyue Sword and pressed it against her neck.
Only then did the woman in black quiet down, but she still couldn't stop trembling.
"Who are you?"
Chen Sansi warned, "I don't have the patience to ask a second time."
"Seek, Seeking Immortal Tower..."
The woman sobbed, "It hurts, it hurts..."
"Seeking Immortal Tower?"
Chen Sansi remembered the records in the "Chronicle of Sects Throughout the World."
A mysterious sect, with a thousand years of legacy, solely dedicated to seeking immortal traces.
"What do you want from me?"
"My master sent me..."
The woman in black was at the peak of her grievance, "I was just delivering a letter, what gives you the right to treat me this way."
"Nonsense!"
Chen Sansi said coldly, "Why deliver a letter without going through the front door?"
"Because we are mysterious," the woman in black replied matter-of-factly.
What kind of reasoning is that?
Chen Sansi pressed further, "Why seek me out at the Red Sleeve Tower?"
"I don't know, I really don't know anything, I was just here to deliver the letter, there was no ill intent..."
The woman in black, terrified and unable to move, chattered her teeth as she spoke, "I only know it seems related to Immortal Law, please let me go, I beg of you, wuwuwu..."
"Immortal Law?"
Chen Sansi fell silent.
He couldn't entirely trust nor disregard her words.
He could, however, judge that she truly had no malice.
But he felt no guilt either.
What kind of good person would visit one's house, choosing to come in the dead of night and donned in night-travelling clothes?
Not being directly killed by Martial Saint Wen Zhi was already lucky; having her hands and feet tendons cut was only a minor punishment for the affront, and it was on the lighter side. Otherwise, his home might indeed turn into a marketplace in the future.
Besides, if this girl truly belonged to the Seeking Immortal Tower, such injuries were definitely curable for them.
Killing her was not necessary.
The Seeking Immortal Tower is shrouded in mystery.
Chen Sansi did not have sufficient strength and saw no need to make an enemy for sure; as for whether or not to go to the appointment, that could wait until after the Sect Initiation Ceremony.
With this in mind, he said, "You can leave now."
"Wuwuwu..."
The woman in black just cried.
