Chapter 659: Falling into a Trap?
Qi Rongdao and Cao Xin, who were talking, both changed their expressions.
Because this sound came from the basement!
“What’s going on?! Didn’t you just escort Method Chengsheng inside?” Qi Rongdao stood up and asked in a deep voice.
“I clearly escorted him to the deepest high-security cell and put ten layers of spirit-suppressing locks on him! And he was so injured he couldn’t even speak… how could… it can’t be him, right?!” Cao Xin said with a changing expression.
Qi Rongdao’s face was extremely gloomy. He stood in place thinking for several seconds, then immediately swept his sleeves and walked out of the office.
Thinking of what might have happened, Cao Xin’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly followed.
Three minutes later, at the door of the deepest high-security cell in the underground detention area, a large group of martial artists stood.
At this moment, the cell door was open.
Qi Rongdao and Cao Xin stood at the front.
They stared blankly at the scene before them, mouths slightly open, expressions frozen in shock.
The crowd of martial artists behind them wore similar expressions.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before their eyes.
Directly opposite them, on the specially made thick wall of the cell, there was now a huge hole!
The outline of this hole looked like a handprint!
Outside the hole was a dark underground tunnel that had been blasted open.
Looking far into the distance, light could be seen at an extreme distance.
Everything before their eyes pointed to one fact.
Method Chengsheng, who had just been placed in the cell… had escaped again.
And from the handprint-shaped hole in the cell wall, it was clear that… Method Chengsheng had left here under his own power…
How was this possible?!
Wasn’t he seriously injured by that old man?
He clearly had ten layers of spirit-suppressing locks on him! He couldn’t use his true energy at all!
Without using true energy, how could he possibly break through such a thick wall?!
For a moment, the group of martial artists present were all plunged into shock and confusion.
“Impossible! This is impossible!” Cao Xin had the strongest reaction. He walked into the cell, looking at the empty room and the spirit-suppressing chains that had been torn apart and fallen to the ground, unable to believe it!
Just five minutes ago, he had been thinking about how to torture Method Chengsheng!
But in the blink of an eye, Method Chengsheng had escaped!
He wanted to avenge Shi Muyu, but in the end, he got nothing!
He couldn’t accept it!
“…Chairman, Method Chengsheng is injured, even if he escapes, he can’t go far! We should immediately dispatch people to hunt him down throughout East Capital…” Cao Xin turned around, looking at Qi Rongdao with wide eyes.
“Enough.” Qi Rongdao looked at Cao Xin with furrowed brows and said, “The facts are so obvious, can’t you see?”
“…What facts?” Cao Xin asked in confusion.
Qi Rongdao clasped his hands behind his back, his face gloomy, and said: “Method Chengsheng and that so-called master were working together all along. They performed a show in front of us to obtain the key that can open the Great Saint Temple.”
Qi Rongdao had quickly realized this point.
The so-called master had just left, and right after, Method Chengsheng had broken through the wall and gone…
This series of actions was quite obvious.
After hearing Qi Rongdao’s words, Cao Xin stood stunned for several seconds, then his face turned extremely ugly, gnashing his teeth in anger!
“Chairman, please order an immediate pursuit of Method Chengsheng! At least we can be sure he’s still within East Capital…” Cao Xin said.
“No need.” Cold light flashed in Qi Rongdao’s eyes as he said, “Method Chengsheng… is not someone we can provoke.”
“Chairman, this is the second time he has directly challenged our East Capital Martial Arts Association! Our reputation and dignity have been trampled underfoot! If this continues…” Cao Xin said in exasperation.
“Don’t worry, we can’t deal with him, but someone will help us deal with him.” Qi Rongdao revealed a slight smile.
Although being tricked by Method Chengsheng once felt very unpleasant.
In reality, Method Chengsheng’s escape was a good thing!
Since Method Chengsheng and his companion had used this method to steal the key, it meant they were very interested in the Great Saint Temple!
Method Chengsheng would likely use that key to open the door of the Great Saint Temple!
In this way, he would become the sacrificial offering mentioned by the Immortal! Sacrificing his life for the true opening of the Great Saint Temple!
Therefore, Qi Rongdao’s original plan had, by coincidence, turned into an even more decisive plan to kill two birds with one stone!
This time, not only could they eliminate Method Chengsheng, but they could also fulfill Immortal Daokong’s instructions to open the Great Saint Temple!
“Method Chengsheng… thank you for working so hard to perform this show for me. Hahaha…” The smile on Qi Rongdao’s face couldn’t be suppressed and became increasingly obvious.
Seeing the smile on Qi Rongdao’s face and the cold light in his eyes, Cao Xin said no more.
Having worked under Qi Rongdao for many years, he knew that Qi Rongdao only showed such an expression when he was confident.
“Method Chengsheng, prepare to die…” Cao Xin gritted his teeth and said in his heart.
…
About five kilometers away from the East Capital Martial Arts Association headquarters was a restaurant.
Fang Yu, who had returned to his original appearance, along with Bai Ran and Su Lengyun, sat in a private room on the second floor.
More than a dozen tea snacks were laid out on the table.
The key just obtained from Qi Rongdao was placed in front of Fang Yu.
And Fang Yu was currently eating a shrimp dumpling with big bites.
“Your acting still has a lot of room for improvement. At least in my view, your expression was a bit stiff,” Fang Yu looked up and said to Bai Ran beside him.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Fang, this is my first time doing something like this…” Bai Ran apologetically said.
“It’s fine, I’m just giving my perspective. You easily fooled those martial arts association leaders earlier, and that’s enough.” Fang Yu said.
Bai Ran nodded and said no more.
Su Lengyun sat in the seat to Fang Yu’s left, immediately refilling his teacup whenever he finished his tea.
After pouring tea several times, seeing that Fang Yu kept chatting about this and that without mentioning the key on the table, Su Lengyun couldn’t help but ask: “Brother Yu, can this key… really open the door to the Great Saint Temple?”
Hearing this question, Fang Yu didn’t answer, but put down his chopsticks, picked up the key from the table, and observed it with narrowed eyes for a while.
The East Capital Martial Arts Association using this key as a bounty was strange behavior in itself.
If there really were good things in the Great Saint Temple, how could they easily take out the key as a bounty?
There were many bounties that could attract martial artists to look for Method Chengsheng, and there was no need to choose the key to the Great Saint Temple.
Doing so seemed very deliberate.
The East Capital Martial Arts Association had intentionally given out such a key.
So, why did they do this?
Through the bounty notice, they gave out a key that could open the Great Saint Temple… the target of the bounty was Method Chengsheng.
Anyone who could capture Method Chengsheng alive would definitely not be weak.
“They just wanted to deliver this key to a powerful cultivator.”
Fang Yu’s eyes brightened as he deduced this conclusion.
