Right at that moment, President Bai and that Elder Ji Xing next to him hadnât gone very far and were at the top of this apartment building. When they turned around earlier, they teleported to the top floor of the apartment, which they had just bought by giving the previous owner a price he couldnât refuse, in order to monitor Elder Zuo Wuâs movements.
The truth was that President Bai had already anticipated that Elder Zuo Wu would fail in this operation. Before Elder Zuo Wu had set out, President Bai had deliberately looked for a diviner, who had given him an ominous reading.
At that moment, the surveillance monitor was showing the inside of the basement supermarket which Elder Zuo Wu had turned into a secret dark chamber. Before he left, President Bai had left behind an Eye of Nothingness 1 . This was President Baiâs own eyeball which he had directly plucked out of his eye socket and which could be used as surveillance whenever necessary.
Because of his powerful self-healing ability, any organ in his body was dispensable for President Bai. Even if his heart was dug out, it could grow back in an instant. Thus, when the Demon Hunters Association had just started out back then, President Bai had specially looked for black market merchants who dealt in top-quality cultivator organs, and had sold his own organs in order to build up huge amounts of capital.
President Bai was monitoring everything that was happening in the supermarket through his eyeball.
While he was looking at the image, Ji Xing, who was next to him, said, âI was curious why Lord President went easy on Zuo Wu; it turned out you expected him to commit suicide?â
As he spoke, the beautiful man didnât forget to take out a powder puff to patch up the slight cracks in his makeup. His makeup was so thick that sometimes a slight smile would cause the powder to fall off or the makeup to crack, so he always carried a powder puff on him and would touch it up from time to time.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
President Bai leaned back against the sofa as the black Wuji Umbrella floating quietly above his head. He said indifferently, âZuo Wu has followed me for many years, after all. Iâm quite familiar with his personality.â
While part of his decision not to kill Elder Zuo Wu right away earlier had to do with their many years as master and servant, this was in fact only a very small part.
If he really cared about this friendship, he wouldnât have deliberately injured Elder Zuo Wu again when the latter was already seriously injured.
The fact was that this very move made his attitude explicitly clear to Elder Zuo Wu.
Elder Zuo Wu had to die.
But President Bai preferred that Elder Zuo Wu do it himself.
That way, he would feel a little less guilty.
Of course, if Elder Zuo Wu didnât understand his meaning, it wasnât a big deal.
President Bai would have Elder Ji Xing act on his behalf to get rid of Elder Zuo Wu.
But looking at the current situation, it really wasnât necessary.
âElder Zuo Wu has followed Lord President for many years. If Elder Zuo Wu really dies, will Lord President be very sad?â Ji Xing smiled coldly.
Sad?
Perhapsâ¦
âIf I have time in the future, Iâll light incense in front of Zuo Wuâs grave during the festival season,â President Bai said. âWe donât have much time left⦠everything is about making sure the master plan goes smoothly.â
Elder Ji Xing raised his eyebrows. He knew what President Bai meant by the master plan â it was the Demon Hunters Associationâs ultimate goal for expanding their power in Huaxiu nation all these years. Everything was for the sake of obtaining the grade thirteen magic spell âMoon Burial Spellâ which Devil King had left behind in Beast Kingâs Remains. As long as they could obtain this great world-destroying spell, the Demon Hunters Association and âNight Chiefâ would control everything.
To accomplish great things, it was necessary to make the appropriate sacrifices.
For the sake of their âMoon Burial Plan,â Night Chief had already poured incalculable investments into setting up the âDemon Hunters Associationâ in Huaxiu.
Gazing at the surveillance monitor at that moment, which was streaming from his eyeball, President Bai smiled enigmatically. âThis time, you were right, Ji Xing.â
âIâm always right. Since I was the one who made the Wuji Umbrella in your hand, I naturally have a particular sensitivity to the materials used. I made this Wuji Umbrella back then with forty-nine holy beast skins, and to this day, it still felt like it was lacking something. But nowâ¦â
Ji Xing smiled and stared at the figure of the silver-haired young man on the monitor. âNow it seems we will finally be able to make up for this lack⦠the Wuji Umbrella is also pivotal in obtaining Devil Kingâs grade thirteen spell.â
At this moment, the two of them looked at Elder Zuo Wuâs emotional face on the monitor screen once again as he took out the âTian Gang Grenadeââ¦
â¦
âBrother Silver, is there a way to stop him?â At the same time, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal was also looking at the image which Little Silverâs clone was projecting into the SUV.
He had thought about getting Little Silver to try and stop Elder Zuo Wu, but instead he couldnât do anything but sigh with regret. Sometimes, a personâs imagination was too frightening; Little Silver actually hadnât said anything at all, yet this Elder Zuo Wu had started to get agitated all on his own with a âno matter who tries to persuade me, itâs no useâ mentality.
Then, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal saw the determined look in Elder Zuo Wuâs eyes⦠It was reminiscent of the righteous and revered Master of Guangming Peak who had been willing to sacrifice himself for everyone when the sect was besieged by the six great sects 2 .
Because of his familyâs connections with the influential Tang Sect, which dealt in secret weapons, Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had a certain understanding of secret weapons. If this Tian Gang Grenade exploded at a distance, no one would be killed⦠but the problem now was that Elder Zuo Wu was seriously injured, and it could be said that death was inevitable in an explosion at such close range.
That wouldnât do; they needed this Elder Zuo Wu alive.
Little Silverâs holy beast blood could heal injuries, but it couldnât wholly bring people back to life.
There was only one wayâ¦
As he was driving, quick-thinking Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal immediately sent Wang Ling a text message. âBrother Ling! Are you there?! Itâs urgent! I know youâre lurking!â
Wang Ling responded in almost a second. ââ¦â
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal: âItâs an emergency; Iâve caught an elder of the Demon Hunters Association, but he wants to kill himself. Do you have a way to bring him back to life?â
Wang Lingâs reply only had five simple words: âRestricted entry. Canât go in.â
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal had obviously expected this earlier on. âThen would it be possible for Brother Ling to please help me deliver something to Brother Silverâs clone?â
Wang Ling: â?â
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal replied with three words: âSoul Suppression Ring.â It was the only way he could think of at the moment to resurrect Elder Zuo Wu without incident.
Wang Ling: ââ¦â
âItâs just sending it over⦠It wonât be damaged, right, Brother Ling?â
Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal reluctantly took off his âSoul Suppression Ring.ââI insured it for one hundred million!â
Wang Ling: ââ¦â
