Chapter 1738: Han Long’s Scheme, Thrilling!
Staring at Ancestor Han Long, Liu Shizeng’s face suddenly turned gloomy. He coldly replied, "Brother Han Long, as a guest, isn’t it offensive for you to enter my residence without permission? Leave immediately..."
Although his mood was extremely rotten, Liu Shizeng was not prepared to reveal the reason for his bad mood.
After all, the matters of Shitian Court couldn’t be disclosed now. Besides, he understood well enough that Ye Wushen was right to wait until the grand wedding gift to maximize benefits. It was just the internal discontent needing venting.
However, Ancestor Han Long showed no intention of leaving.
Instead, he continued in a sinister voice, "I’ve heard that the Soul Dominator’s Heir is giving you a hard time. Although I don’t know what happened, would you feel better if I helped you eliminate him?"
As his voice fell, Liu Shizeng’s furious expression froze suddenly, his eyes bursting with a strong chill.
But he quickly shook his head, saying, "No, we can’t kill him. He absolutely must not die in Willow Leaf City."
Of course, it was also because of the Sacred Body that if the Soul Dominator’s Heir died in Willow Leaf City, Murong Jianyun would definitely come for vengeance.
"Oh?"
Ancestor Han Long lightly raised an eyebrow and then asked...
"What’s the situation exactly? Maybe I can help Deputy Manor Master Liu lessen his worry, plus I must act against him because he holds something of my Imperial Dragon Mountain."
With these words, Liu Shizeng looked somewhat puzzled at Ancestor Han Long...
The latter, on the other hand, stared back at Liu Shizeng!
Ancestor Han Long had already inquired within Willow Leaf Saint Manor, but he still wasn’t very clear on the specifics. The people of Willow Leaf Saint Manor kept their mouths sealed, and he could only grasp some inadequate details from certain dialogues.
Now, all Ancestor Han Long could ascertain was...
The Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl was indeed in the hands of the Soul Dominator’s Heir, who brought great discomfort to Willow Leaf Saint Manor. Additionally, it was he who emanated the aura of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation.
It was also understood that the Liu Family was more disgruntled with the Soul Dominator’s Heir than the Ye Family.
Thus, he deliberately sought out Liu Shizeng.
After exchanging a few glances, Liu Shizeng eventually revealed all the details to Ancestor Han Long. He felt that Ye Wushen had already decided to compromise with the Soul Dominator’s Heir at the expense of the Liu Family’s dignity.
But perhaps Ancestor Han Long had some tricks up his sleeve.
Moreover, Ancestor Han Long had expressed his determination to act against the Soul Dominator’s Heir, perhaps leading to the rescue of Liu Shitian...
After hearing the entire story, Ancestor Han Long’s face also showed a hint of disbelief.
He muttered, "A Holy Body genius, is it true?"
"And Overlord Commerce has actually developed part of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation, intending to marry Su Old Demon’s granddaughter..."
After mumbling a few words, Ancestor Han Long suddenly chuckled, "It seems his goal is precise, to obtain your fragmented map and further develop more of the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Shizeng nodded emphatically, believing it was highly likely.
Just as he had told Ye Wushen in the Willow Leaf Hall, you want the betrothal gifts from the Soul Dominator’s Heir, but you might end up losing the fragmented map for nothing...
At this moment, Ancestor Han Long seemed to have an idea.
He quietly said, "It’s not my place to interfere with your Willow Leaf Saint Manor affairs, but I can assist in maximizing your benefits, perhaps by rescuing Shitian Venerate and leaving the Soul Dominator’s Heir without a bargaining chip..."
"Or perhaps by having my disciple propose as well, making it harder for the Soul Dominator’s Heir to win Su Old Demon’s granddaughter."
"With competition, you can gain greater benefits..."
Listening to Ancestor Han Long, Liu Shizeng’s eyes slowly brightened. Rescuing Liu Shitian was, of course, the most important...
Subsequently, the two of them discussed in the chaotic room, eventually finalizing the plan.
"Then it’s settled..."
"On the night before the Soul Dominator’s Heir officially proposes, I will rescue Shitian Venerate, leaving you utterly worry-free."
"Of course, we can’t inform your Manor Master of our conversation for now; instead, we must surprise everyone on that day."
As Ancestor Han Long spoke, Liu Shizeng continuously nodded...
If Ancestor Han Long could indeed rescue Liu Shitian, then when the Soul Dominator’s Heir comes with the betrothal three days later, Liu Shitian could naturally be called out, making a stunning impression.
In this way, Liu Shizeng himself could gain more support...
Ye Wushen couldn’t manage the rescue, leaving them stifled, but he could do it, just thinking about it was exhilarating.
Thus, Liu Shizeng saw Ancestor Han Long to the door...
As he watched Ancestor Han Long leave, Liu Shizeng’s previous anger vanished completely, his mood elevating to the utmost.
Soon, Ye Wushen personally came to appease him...
And Liu Shizeng immediately expressed that he wouldn’t take it to heart, all for the benefit of Willow Leaf Saint Manor. This surprised Ye Wushen greatly, but in Ye Wushen’s view, Liu Shizeng must have come around.
But as Ye Wushen left satisfied...
Liu Shizeng sinisterly muttered, "Hmph, sacrificing my Liu Family’s interests to make us suffer, just wait, in three days everyone in Willow Leaf Saint Manor will see, damn it, I’m a hundred times better than you."
Having said that, Liu Shizeng’s face turned extremely hideous.
...
Elsewhere, Ancestor Han Long returned to his guest room full of smugness.
His disciple immediately approached and asked, "Master, how did it go?"
To this, Ancestor Han Long chuckled softly, "Liu Shizeng is a fool, he quickly divulged everything to me, and I also agreed to take action and rescue Liu Shitian..."
Upon hearing this, his disciple immediately asked, "Master, do you really intend to rescue Liu Shitian?"
Ancestor Han Long’s disciple felt that rescuing Liu Shitian, allowing Liu Shizeng to show off, didn’t quite suit them, they didn’t gain much from it.
"Haha, why would I rescue Liu Shitian, of course, I’m going to kill him directly."
Ancestor Han Long suddenly burst into laughter, then sinisterly opened his mouth...
"Late in the night three days later, I will go to the Batian Branch to reclaim the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl from the Soul Dominator’s Heir, and force him to surrender the complete Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array and the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Array developed by Overlord Commerce..."
"Then I’ll take Liu Shitian away and directly kill him during the Soul Dominator’s Heir’s proposal ceremony."
"I want the conflict between Overlord Commerce and Willow Leaf Saint Manor to become irreconcilable."
Subsequently, Ancestor Han Long continually elaborated his deeper plans to his disciple...
And his disciple nodded constantly, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and by the end, he too was bursting into laughter.
"Brilliant, Master, I admire you profoundly."
"Once successful, I can not only obtain Su Old Demon’s granddaughter but also acquire the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment from Willow Leaf Saint Manor."
"Meanwhile, the Blood Devouring Dragon Pearl and others will also be in hand... exciting, simply exhilarating!"
Acknowledging his disciple’s adoration, Ancestor Han Long accepted it gladly, looking forward to his plan greatly.
...
Elsewhere, in the manor hall where Shi Douxing was, the gagged Liu Shitian continued to wail, but Shi Douxing paid him no mind, still staring blankly at Sikong Jing.
He had been staring for a long while, finally rasping, "Great Judge Sikong, you bewilder me."
