Chapter 658: Killing Two Birds with One Stone!?
Fang Yu’s body was locked with at least ten layers of locks, and these weren’t ordinary locks, but magical treasures!
They forcibly suppressed his acupoints, preventing the locked person from releasing true qi, completely losing all cultivated power.
After being bound with layers of chains, Fang Yu was taken to the deepest room in the detention center.
“Fang Changsheng, oh Fang Changsheng, you never dreamed that one day, you would end up in such a state, did you?”
The person who brought Fang Yu into the room was Vice Chairman Cao Xin, whom he had met once before.
His lover Shi Muyu was severely injured by this Fang Changsheng, and then disappeared!
It could be said that Cao Xin’s hatred for Fang Changsheng had reached its peak!
“There’s always someone better, that’s the most accurate saying from our ancestors. Did you think no one in this world could deal with you?” Cao Xin said coldly, his eyes filled with venom.
Since there was no news yet from Bai Ran about obtaining the item, Fang Yu could only continue to pretend to be in a semi-conscious state.
“From now on, I’ll make you truly experience what hell is! What it means to wish for death! I will return the harm you caused to Muyu tenfold!” Cao Xin said viciously.
After speaking, feeling unsatisfied, he forcefully punched Fang Yu in the abdomen.
“Bang!”
A dull sound was followed by Cao Xin’s scream echoing in the empty room.
He clutched his right hand, looking at Fang Yu with gritted teeth!
Even in such a weakened state, this man’s body was still as hard as steel!
Truly a damned tough nut to crack!
But Cao Xin wasn’t in a hurry.
The man was already in his hands, and he had countless methods to torture him later. No need to do it himself now.
“I won’t let you die easily, Fang Changsheng.” Cao Xin left these hateful words, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the thick, specially made door.
“Bang!”
Fang Yu was left in darkness.
“Damn… this act is hard, especially playing a character with no lines who can only pretend to be dead.” Fang Yu lay on the ground, letting out a long breath.
…
Top floor of the association building, the Chairman’s office.
Qi Rongdao pressed a mechanism, and a door appeared behind the office.
This was the Chairman’s exclusive storage room.
Qi Rongdao walked inside and took out a key from a safe.
The key was a single piece, but quite large. About the size of a palm, it had an antique bronze color.
This was the key to the Great Sacred Temple.
This item was passed down from one chairman of the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association to the next.
But through so many chairmen, none had ever handed over this key.
Because the Great Sacred Temple itself contained uncertainties, and no one knew what would appear inside once the door was opened.
Therefore, to avoid accidents, previous chairmen had locked this key in the safe and never taken it out.
And this time, Qi Rongdao offering it as a bounty reward… wasn’t actually his own idea.
It was Immortal Daokong’s instruction!
“The Great Sacred Temple should be opened now. Find a cultivator with cultivation at or above the Yuan Ying stage… if you can find someone with higher cultivation, even better.”
“Give the key to this person and let him open the door of the Great Sacred Temple.”
“Afterward, this person will serve as a sacrifice, consumed by the Great Sacred Temple… with him as the catalyst, the Great Sacred Temple will officially open! At that time, I will send someone to collect the sacred artifacts inside…”
These were Immortal Daokong’s exact words.
Qi Rongdao wanted to impress Immortal Daokong, so he planned to find the strongest cultivator to serve as the Great Sacred Temple’s sacrifice.
Thus, he came up with the current plan.
He knew the Eastern Capital martial arts world was very interested in the Great Sacred Temple, and there were even rumors about ancient immortal legacies existing inside.
Afterward, Qi Rongdao further fueled these rumors, pushing the tales about the Great Sacred Temple to a climax, making more people want to enter it and using this as motivation to search for Fang Changsheng.
Unexpectedly, this plan to kill two birds with one stone, which he hadn’t been very hopeful about, yielded results so quickly!
Now, Fang Changsheng had been captured, and a powerful cultivator meeting Immortal Daokong’s requirements had been found!
Qi Rongdao was extremely excited and pleased. Holding the key, he went to the VIP room nearby.
“Master, this is the key to the Great Sacred Temple, please keep it safe.” Qi Rongdao presented the key with both hands.
Bai Ran took the key and examined it carefully, but felt nothing special.
Then, he contacted Fang Yu through the mark Fang Yu had left in his body earlier, saying: “Mr. Fang, I’ve obtained the key, but I don’t know if it’s real…”
“…Getting it is what matters. As for whether it’s real, no need to worry, he has no reason to give you a fake one…” Fang Yu responded, “Let me know once you’re outside the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association’s grounds.”
After speaking, Fang Yu’s voice disappeared.
Bai Ran put the key in his storage pouch, preparing to leave.
“Master, you must have some understanding of the Great Sacred Temple, right?” At this moment, Qi Rongdao asked.
“Yes.” Bai Ran answered.
“Then when do you plan to go open the Great Sacred Temple?” Qi Rongdao asked, his eyes flickering.
Bai Ran glanced at Qi Rongdao, frowning: “What business is it of yours?”
“I apologize for speaking out of turn. This key now belongs to you, Master, and I indeed have no right to ask.” Qi Rongdao immediately bowed.
Bai Ran said nothing and walked toward the exit.
“Master, let me escort you downstairs.” Qi Rongdao followed, saying.
“No need.” Bai Ran waved his hand.
“Then I’ll have some subordinates escort you down.” Qi Rongdao gave a look to the two captains standing by the door.
The two captains at the Martial Veneration realm immediately followed.
Qi Rongdao watched Bai Ran’s departing figure, narrowing his eyes, his gaze flickering.
Only after Bai Ran entered the elevator and disappeared from sight did Qi Rongdao turn back to the Chairman’s office.
The key had been given away, and Fang Changsheng had been brought to the Martial Arts Association…
Now, he needed to report the situation to the Immortal.
Qi Rongdao sat at his desk, opened a drawer, about to take out an item.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door.
Qi Rongdao pushed the drawer back and said, “Come in.”
The office door was pushed open, and Cao Xin walked in from outside.
“What is it?” Qi Rongdao asked.
“Chairman, how should we deal with that damned Fang Changsheng?” Cao Xin asked, his expression vicious.
Qi Rongdao leaned back in his chair and said, “I’m still considering.”
“Chairman, I request that you hand him over to me!” Cao Xin said coldly, his eyes full of hatred, “I want to avenge Muyu!”
Qi Rongdao looked at Cao Xin, remained silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, “This person, Fang Changsheng… I must take full responsibility for him, I cannot hand him over to you.”
Cao Xin’s expression changed as he said, “Chairman, even if you take full responsibility, I can still assist you…”
“I understand what you mean, don’t be impatient.” Qi Rongdao’s lips curled into a smile as he said, “This person is already in our hands. If you want to torture him, go ahead. No one in the entire Martial Arts Association will stop you.”
“But remember, this person cannot be killed yet.”
“Cannot be killed, Chairman…” Cao Xin’s expression changed, about to speak.
“Boom!”
Just at that moment, a thunderous sound came from downstairs, and the entire association building shook violently!
