Chapter 358

Shen Duan rolled his eyes at the patrol team, “Get out now!”

The leader was in shock for a second but still made himself scarce . Shen Duan was an Earth Immortal while they, simple Transcending realm cultivators . This choice was arguably better than to earn his ire too .

Shen Duan slammed the door behind, then set his sparkling eyes on Chen Ming, “Sire, did you happen to mention three Heaven Spirit Vein?”

Chen Ming nodded, “What, don’t want them?”

Shen Duan grinned, “They are a small matter . What’s important is brother’s life long wish . I will do well by brother and make sure it’s accomplished to perfection!”

“Then sit down and let’s iron it out . “

Why the senseless killing when the result can easily be achieved with money?

I, Immortal Master Chen, am a man who’s heart bleeds from stepping even on a single ant .

Shen Duan said, “Hmm, you’re a fiend so let me think for a minute . I got it . One of my mistresses is a fiend too . I’ll just say that she is going to give birth soon and since you are her brother, I will ask you to replace me for a few days . “

“Then, brother-in-law, please help me . “

“You’re too kind, just leave it to me . Come with me and we’ll discuss it at my house . “

The next day, Chen Ming wore Jade Lakes’s blue armor and Shen Duan’s token, as he strutted to the prison gate . The other guard said, “Eh? Where’s Shen Duan?”

Chen Ming spat and cursed, “Shen Duan is my brother-in-law . My sister is close to giving birth and I came to care for her, but brother-in-law saw me suited and sent me to replace him for three days!”

The guard scrutinized him, A bull fiend . I heard they have quite the skill in bed . Shen Duan sure has a large appetite . “Your brother-in-law must dote on your sister . “

Chen Ming ran his mouth, “As if . But after a bout of affection, sister leaves him unable to get out of bed for three days!”

When something stirred a man’s interest, he would forgo even his identity . Shen Duan said the same to me yesterday .

He asked, “Tell me, are the bull fiend ladies charming?”

Chen Ming slapped his chest making the guy’s eyes shine, “Oh, oh, oh! I see, I see! That damn Shen Duan got to them first . Little brother, do you know any single sisters?”

Chen Ming snickered, “No problem . If your character is good, I will introduce you to a few . “

“Great! Let me show you the works here little brother . It just happens that today is meal time for the prisoners . “

Chen Ming went along with the Earth Immortal and began his tour of Jade Lake’s prison . The first stop was a one-legged old man, with his arms stretching all the way to his knees . His white hair, along with his skin and bones figure, made him seem a ghost at first glance .

But our Immortal Master Chen looks beyond appearances and let the man’s auras do the talking .

He had a string of auras hanging overhead, some even stirring Chen Ming’s heart:

‘Title: Genius Stirring Heaven’s Jealousy

Qilin Arm Aura

Description: Damn! My Qilin arm is acting up again!

Effect: focusing one’s entire power into his arms

Rise and Fall Aura

Description: the broken shall rise again and the risen shall be strong .

Effect: break then stand .

Note: as the breaking has yet to finish, the remaining leg became the burden, needing an arm as a crutch . A single arm is not enough to pull a bow .

Nine Sun-shooting Arrows Aura (1)

Description: I have nine arrows . I will either shoot you dead or die by your hand .

Effect: each arrow’s power increases by 10% .

Bullseye Aura

Description: perfect aim

Effect: in mid-flight, one can use his will to increase his accuracy . ‘

. . .

Among the long string of auras, these were the most outstanding . The others were all related to archery . The height of this man’s skill with the bow had reached an incredible level .

Chen Ming asked in passing, “Who’s the old man?”

The guard replied, “Don’t know . I heard that in my grandfather’s time, the prison changed greatly once this old man came . He never causes trouble, only stares into nothingness . It’s been so long that there’s no one who knows him anymore . “

They continued giving food and Chen Ming left three days later . He began to work on a plan to make this unknown serve him as his Blade . For him to have such a strange title as the Genius Stirring Heaven’s Jealousy, he had to be a great talent in his time . According to the jailer, he was thousands of years old .

The age alone said he had to be at least a Celestial Immortal .

If his calculations were correct, then the Commanding Star belonged to this old man .

Chen Ming went to Evil Dragon Star and rented a tavern room . He laid down an array to seal it and donned the Faceless .

He gathered the information pertaining to the guards’ route while he was there so he knew when to go . In the middle of the night, he began to activate the mask’s effect, “The old man imprisoned for thousands of years, the Genius Stirring Heaven’s Jealousy, the one with a shattered will, Jade Lake’s criminal, and the one-legged man, I summon the . . . “

A shadow appeared out of the blue in the old man’s cell .

His eyes spared Chen Ming a single glance then returned to the gaze in space .

This old geezer won’t be as easy to dupe as Bu Liuhen .

They were the only ones in this cell and Chen Ming covered his smiling side with a fan, “The price of your scorn has raised the stakes of our deal . “

The old man never even blinked .

Chen Ming knew he was special . I am a Faceless, the member of the strongest power in the Galaxy, the Headless Assembly . Yet to shows suck contempt means he is one I can count on .

He must be one who has seen the bigger picture, and fell .

Chen Ming flicked the fan and showed his laughing side . He said harshly, “The new price shall include your only leg . “

Chen Ming’s tone was ruthless and cold, yet this didn’t impress him .

But this act moved him in some way, watching Chen Ming, “If you’d have said it 1300 years ago, I would have killed you!”

Then added, “But this leg has lost its purpose . I am interested in your deal and shall listen . “
