-

Luo Yan summoned up every ounce of energy he had, boosting his internal energy further with Scorching Sun Spirit. Abels already proved the superior man in a clash of technique; however, Luo Yan believed he could hurt Abels if he committed one hundred percent to a single strike.

What Luo Yan first perceived to be teleportation was actually just a blazing-fast advance. Abels red fist was akin to the gust of wind that extinguished the fire; shaving off Luo Yans output gradually prior to even acquiring its target. Abels extended a finger from his fist once he felt Luo Yans palm strike was no longer threatening and gently jabbed the latter on the forehead to announce his convincing victory that only took two strikes.

Luo Ming had mentioned Enlightenment to Luo Yan in the past, and the latter learnt he had a chance against those who had conceived it, yet he was akin to a blade of grass trying to poke a hole in a brick when Abels showed his version of Enlightenment - his red fist.

Abels is even stronger than the last time I fought him. If he continues developing at this ridiculous rate, who can match him

Had Luo Yan not had to carry the honour of Luo Clan on his shoulders, he mightve just let himself hit the ground in despair.

“You… win. You can do as you please with me.”

“Youre insufferably stubborn, arent you Well, it wont hurt to spare you a fifth time when Ive already spared you four times.” Abels pulled his arm back and headed back to his stone seat with his back faced towards Luo Yan, using his confidence to add insult to injury.

Abels expression of confidence screamed, “I can beat you the same way again even if I give you back.” Luo Yan would never hit a defenceless man, yet he actually contemplated clobbering Abels from behind, a sentiment that left a bitter taste in Luo Yans mouth and a sweet taste in Abels mouth.

Abels meant it when he stated Luo Yan was still useful to him, hence the mercy. Abels had to constantly beat Luo Yan mentally and physically, though, for it was the only way to convince Luo Yan to do his bidding. It was a slow process, but Abels started to have control over Luo Yans temper; Luo Yan suppressed his frustration and kept on robbing weapons with less and less vociferating each time, totally unaware of how much Abels was in his head.

“Poison King, how do you score the way I moulded energy” Abels questioned from his stone throne.

Myriad Gu Poison King - Nanjiangs legendary poison user, the elder working at the cauldron - tidied his belongings as he answered, “Smooth.”

“River Monster, you can come in now.”

River Monster, who had been waiting on the other side of the door, sauntered in and performed her salute: “Master.”

River Monsters voice was all business; she still expressed the same respect, albeit without the intimacy once present in her tone, and she made no attempt to disguise it.

Abels smiled: “These are the new weapons. Take them.”

“As you command.”

Luo Yan asked, “How much longer do I have to keep doing this”

“Why are you acting as though your pants are on fire” Abels questioned.

“Everyone in Canhu Town is investigating the attacks. I wouldnt put it past them to start suspecting Luo Sword Manor. How are you going to prove your innocence”

“That wont be a concern. We have scapegoats.”

“What”

“You told me one of Midnight Ghost Cry is dead, and the other is injured. The injured one has recovered, and the supposed dead one didnt die. A skilled physician resuscitated him on the spot. Why do you need to feign ignorance You held back when you couldve killed Bai Zixuan. As far as I know, you have friends among unorthodox and orthodox sects. Coincidentally, youre on decent terms with the brothers. You spared Bai Zixuan to give him a chance at survival, correct”

Luo Yan didnt answer. Rather, he didnt have an argument prepared.

Abels tugged up the corner of his lips: “Because you had to try and be a smart aleck, they will be no more after tonight.”

“He didnt see my face! Why does their group have to be exterminated!”

“Im not taking on a potential hazard that I dont have to. Im eliminating any potential problems.” Abels relished Luo Yans aghast countenance as he carried on, “I know about everything that takes place in Canhu Town. Quit wasting time on fruitless labour. Ive met the one who calls himself Zhong Ming. Hes with the imperial court. His medical skills are exceptional, indeed.”

River Monster clicked her tongue under her breath, still bitter that she lost, at least, thirty percent of her original full potential despite having her severed arm reattached. Every few days, the pain would leave her writhing in pain that only copious amounts of anaesthetics could quell. According to Myriad Gu Poison King, River Monsters agony was all in her head, products of post-traumatic disorder. He told her it was condition that no existing concoction could heal. The news that she couldnt be cured only served to fuel her rage.

“They showed up out of nowhere and refuse to identify themselves. Im just giving the nudge to move the boat along the current,” Abels stated. “I know they came here for Shen Yiren. For all we know, Shen Yiren might also be in town. Shes still useful to me. If you can find her for me, Ill spare everyone but Bai Zixuan, deal”

“Liu Shan Mens vice-captain Why would she be here”

“Thats for me to know and not for you to know. Does that mean we dont have a deal”

“… We have a deal.”

“Good.”

“In addition, I heard the group has opened a restaurant in Canhu Town that theyve decided to call Dragon Phoenix Inn. All the thugs in the town went there to stir the pot, only to all be poisoned, rather, incapacitated.”

Abels cast his gaze across to Myriad Gu Poison King: “What compelled you to be so proactive Did they accost you”

“Those shamelessly seeking personal gain are not worth my time.”

Abels took no offence to Myriad Gu Poison; the two had a tacit sense of chemistry between them. Abels commented, “I cant think of anyone else who could achieve that if it wasnt you.”

Seeing as neither River Monster nor Luo Yan had any insight to offer, Abels continued, “Lets put that aside for the meantime. We still dont know where Mountain Monster is, so many operations will be more challenging than if she was here. Although Poison Kings disguise skills are impeccable, they take time unlike her Blood Fiend Silkworm Transformation Art. I sent a group of people to rescue her from the group after she was caught; however, they never returned.”

“Maybe her disappearance has something to do with Night Fortress master,” River Monster snidely remarked.

“What” Poison King queried, breaking the sudden and uncomfortable silence upon reading the ambience. “You were defeated”

Abels turned his finger into steely clamps: “I will settle the score with Mount Daluo.”

“So hes not invincible yet,” inwardly commented Luo Yan.

Abels switched the topic, inquiring, “Mountain Monsters lover wouldnt just wait to collect her corpse. Wheres Ox Demon”

River Monster robotically reported, “He left with some men a couple of days ago, saying he had something important to do. If it is urgent, I can call him back with our secret signal.”

“Leave him. Knowing how primitive he is, he mustve gone off to fight. Its a good opportunity to send Jiangnans pugilists our greeting and find out what theyre made of. Send him the signal to search for Mountain Monster, though.”

“As you command.”

Abels pointed out a few things they should pay attention then called in more men to pass on orders. The tasks he entrusted them with shouldve already be completed had Abels not been occupied with training because he wasnt the type to dally.

Luo Yan deliberated, “Abels isnt the type to assiduously train, yet hes put in all the stops to progress in as short time as possible. Does it have something to do with Night Fortress master Although Night Fortress master didnt win against Mount Lu Sword Sanctuary back then, he did get out of a fight with Ling Clan unscathed. Is there more to him than what I know”

“Second Master Luo,” growled Abels, unhappy with what Luo Yans visage read.

“What Arent I supposed to find Shen Yiren for you”

“Naturally. The thing is, you havent completed your mission. I hear Mad Desert Sects signature broadsword possesses a three-legged crow component. Fetch it for me.”

“I told you: Im going to draw suspicion if I keep going after weapons. My nephew isnt asinine. He will suspect me sooner or later even if you have scapegoats. If you dont know yet, then Ill tell you now: hes not going to shelter family if it is morally wrong to do so. If Im exposed, whatever crooked plan youre cooking is also going to rot.”

“Stop with the jaundice. Were allies. All Im doing is cleaning up for money.”

“First time Im hearing of blackmailing and threatening being part of cooperating as allies.”

Abels right cheek had a spasm: “Even among allies, there is a hierarchy. Your brother is my equal, and thats it. Nobody else has the right to bargain with me. Theres one thing Ill agree on, nonetheless. Your nephew is unlike your son; he will trace it back to you.”

Luo Yans heart skipped a beat, afraid hed realise what he didnt want to realise.

“What are you afraid of Worried Ill harm your nephew”

“You wouldnt harm my brothers son.”

Abels condescendingly replied, “You couldnt be more right. Were allies.”

The same second Luo Yan found relief, Abels jabbed him on the shoulder with a finger: “Which is why I need you to.”

Luo Yan smacked away Abels hand: “Dream on!”

“Relax. I wouldnt hurt your brothers son. In saying that, hes a potential hazard. Im not asking you to kill him. Its not that hard to have your elites place him under house arrest, is it”

Luo Yans nightmare came true. The type of order he couldnt protest was the worse; imagine a knife just sitting there in your body.

“Should you refuse, Ill do it as your imposter. For your information, my men dont know what mercy is. Im actually feeling inquisitive enough that I might just start seeing what the best method to subdue him is.”

Luo Yan was detached from Luo Siming, true. Having said that, Luo Yan wasnt indifferent to his brother. He was aware how aggrieved his brother would be if he lost his son. Worse, he knew Evil Spirits had what it took to make it a reality.
