Chapter 1696 - 1696: Masters Take Action Together
"Ye Qing, don't get excited." Shen Tianjun walked over to stop Ye Qing, saying in a deep voice, "We definitely need to rescue him, but we can't act rashly. Otherwise, we'll fall into their trap, and then we could be in danger.""Luan Ping has captured my brother. Now it's not a matter of acting rashly; I have to go!" Ye Qing said, "If I don't go, Li Lianshan is doomed. Any of Luan Ping's men could easily kill Li Lianshan!"
"But do they dare to kill?" Shen Tianjun said, "Don't forget, Doctor An warned the Corpse Ghost Dragon's people not to act against those who can't use Martial Arts. Otherwise, Wu Tianchi will deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. The Corpse Ghost Dragon is very afraid of Wu Tianchi; he absolutely won't act against someone who can't use Martial Arts. So, Li Lianshan is definitely safe for now!"
"Doctor An warned them, yet they dared to capture Li Lianshan, clearly showing these people don't take Doctor An's words to heart." Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Moreover, the Corpse Ghost Dragon is ruthless; even if he doesn't kill Li Lianshan, being in his hands won't be good for Li Lianshan. Therefore, we must rescue him!"
Everyone exchanged glances, and Helian Tiehua frowned slightly and said, "Ye Qing, I know you're good brothers with Li Lianshan. But the Corpse Ghost Dragon's current situation is unclear. If we proceed to rescue him like this, we'll inevitably clash with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. By that time, it won't just be a matter of a few injuries. Whether we can come back alive is still unknown!"
"In that case, let me go first and scout the situation!" Ye Qing declared loudly, "My brother has been captured, I absolutely won't sit idly by here!"
"I'll go with you!" Huangfu Ziyu gripped the Sun Shooting Bow and walked directly to Ye Qing's side, standing firm.
With even Huangfu Ziyu saying this, the situation at the scene became somewhat delicate. No one wanted to provoke the Corpse Ghost Dragon at this time, but judging by Ye Qing's attitude, he was definitely going. With Huangfu Ziyu joining, everyone knew they couldn't persuade them.
"Good!" Shen Tianjun suddenly shouted, "After all, we have to fight to the death with the Corpse Ghost Dragon eventually. Ye Qing, since you're going, I'll go with you. The Corpse Ghost Dragon was injured by the Purple Lotus Karma Fire, his injury is surely severe now, this time may be our best chance to strike!"
When Shen Tianjun walked over to Ye Qing's side, the masked elder had already arrived here. Both were completely in step, treating Ye Qing very well.
"Young Ye, I can't help you much with fighting. But I'll support you mentally!" Bai Li Xi also walked behind Ye Qing. His Martial Arts were abolished, and he only had the Poison Technique. Others couldn't harm him, but he was also not suited to go out fighting.
"I'll help you!" Ding Lianshun walked behind Ye Qing, Ye Qing and he saved each other several times, their relationship was quite good.
Seeing the situation, Helian Tiehua sighed deeply and said, "In that case, let's go together. Today, we'll fight the Corpse Ghost Dragon to the death!"
Helian Tiehua also walked over, leaving only Ning Qianshu. He glanced at everyone, hesitated slightly, but ultimately came over.
"Should we go directly?" Ning Qianshu frowned and said, "Should we notify those two monks? If we really face them head-on, having two more people would surely increase our chances."
"You're right!" Helian Tiehua looked at Ye Qing and said, "Ye Qing, what do you think?"
This time, Ye Qing was very clear it would be desperate with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. He didn't want everyone to go with him. But to save Li Lianshan, he had no choice. After a moment of silence, he nodded and contacted the Bloody Monk. In this situation, he desperately needed the Bloody Monk and the Wolf Monk's help to increase the chance of success.
Receiving Ye Qing's call, the Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk didn't hesitate at all and immediately agreed to come help Ye Qing. Ye Qing's group left the estate, and the Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk also set off from Sha Men; the groups agreed to meet at the gate of Shenchuan City, ready to fight the Corpse Ghost Dragon to the death.
Leaving the estate, Ye Qing also contacted Zhao Chengshuang, asking him to dispatch monitoring to track Luan Ping and his men. Although Helian Tiehua had already found the Corpse Ghost Dragon's hiding place, Ye Qing vaguely felt there was something odd about this. But he didn't have time to think much; since they captured Li Lianshan, he had to pursue them!
As Ye Qing and the others were leaving the estate, Aomuhan's side received the news. Knowing Ye Qing's entire team set off, Aomuhan, hiding with Bai Qinghuan, immediately sneered.
"Hmph, this time, let's see if Ye Qing won't die!" Aomuhan said in a deep voice, "Better not kill him, let him become a cripple, and next time I'll personally finish him!"
"You have quite the imagination." Bai Qinghuan beside him sneered, already unmasked, using Shen Qianyue's voice.
"Of course!" Aomuhan sneered, suddenly sensing something amiss, and turned his head in shock towards Bai Qinghuan, "Your voice..."
"What's wrong with my voice?" Bai Qinghuan replied with a cold smile, slowly peeled off a layer of human skin mask, revealing the true face of Shen Qianyue.
"This is my real voice, the previous one was all an act!" Shen Qianyue smirked coldly at the dumbfounded Bai Qinghuan, "How's that? My Facial Disguise Technique and Voice Changing Technique are quite effective, aren't they!"
"You... you..." Aomuhan looked at Shen Qianyue in horror; he knew well who was in front of him. At that moment, he suddenly felt deceived.
"Hahaha..." Shen Qianyue laughed heartily, "Surprised to see me? Hmph, Aomuhan, you're truly a fool. Bai Qinghuan has known you for quite some time; don't you understand his character? Does he dare to do such big things with his nature? You brainless fool, someone says a word and you rush to do their bidding. Don't you ever think there's something amiss? Do you think by using that method, people will really believe you're innocent? You called out Li Lianshan's name in front of so many people; what do you think the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance will do to you after this is over?"
Looking at Shen Qianyue, Aomuhan realized he had made a significant mistake. Hearing these words now, he was even more flustered. Previously, he was completely bewitched, merely focusing on fighting Ye Qing, without considering these matters. Now he realized his deception, awakening to the grave mistake he made.
"Shen Qianyue, you... you're despicable!" Aomuhan stammered.
"Despicable? Shen Qianyue laughed, "This isn't despicable; this is called strategy. Aomuhan, with your limited skills, you'll never be able to outmatch Ye Qing in this lifetime. But for me, a little trick, and I've got Ye Qing and all the people from the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance running in circles, playing them like a fiddle. This is the difference between you and me. Aomuhan, your strength doesn't reach its peak, your intellect is lagging; people like you are just wasting resources living in this world. Why not let me liberate you?"
Speaking, Shen Qianyue strode towards Aomuhan. Seeing this, Aomuhan trembled with fear and quickly said, "Sh... Shen, spare my life, I... I'll work for you, I'll work for you, alright?"
"Do I need you to work for me?" Shen Qianyue sneered, "A worthless person like you will only mess things up!"
"Shen, I... I know I'm not very capable, but like you, I hate Ye Qing. To kill Ye Qing, to seek revenge, I'll disregard everything else." Aomuhan fell to his knees with a thud, "Please keep me alive, I'll help you deal with Ye Qing with everything I have. Even if I can't defeat him, I can at least help convey messages."
To survive, Aomuhan was willing to do anything, disregarding any semblance of dignity.
Shen Qianyue glanced at Aomuhan, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded, "Fine, I'll give you a chance."
"Thank you, Shen, thank you!" Aomuhan was relieved, kowtowing furiously in gratitude.
"However, I can't fully trust you just based on a few words." Shen Qianyue said solemnly, "You say you'll work for me, but how do I know once you return, you won't betray me!"
Aomuhan hurriedly replied, "Shen, I... you and I have a common enemy, how could I betray you? As long as it means killing Ye Qing, I'll stand by your side!"
"I'm someone who only believes in what I can control!" Shen Qianyue sneered coldly, and suddenly produced a black pill, "If you want me to trust you, take this pill. It's my master's unique formula, even Bai Li Xi and Ning Qianshu can't cure it, only our antidote can. You take this pill, if you harbor any ill intent, I can ensure you experience the utmost suffering before death!"
Looking at the pill, Aomuhan shuddered; he knew it was indeed a potent poison. If he took it, his life would be entirely in Shen Qianyue's control.
"What, you don't want to take it?" Shen Qianyue stepped toward Aomuhan, "You can choose not to take it, I'll kill you to end this!"
"I'll take it! I'll take it!" Aomuhan, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, leaped up, grabbed the pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.
Seeing Aomuhan, Shen Qianyue sneered continuously, "Good, now that you've taken this pill, you're my subordinate. Aomuhan, listen well: if you dare harbor any ill intent, I guarantee you'll die a painful death, understand?"
