Chapter 74: I’ll Show You My Resolve!
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Song Shuhang clenched his fists tightly. This man’s distinct features matched exactly with Lin Tao’s description of the man who paid him to gather information on him.
As expected, it was this guy. He had said to Riverly Purple Mist that he would definitely have the resolve. Now it was time to see how far he could carry his it.
Suddenly, the long-armed man turned his head and looked towards Song Shuhang.
Then, he lowered his head, opened Zhao Yaya’s phone and dialed a number.
The phone in Song Shuhang’s pocket rang, it was Zhao Yaya’s number; he’d been discovered.
This was anticipated, after all he had just cultivated Foundation Establishment technique for two days, and mental techniques for a day. The opponent discovering him was anticipated.
Song Shuhang picked up the phone.
The long-armed man revealed a freakish smile, and Zhao Yaya’s voice came out of his mouth, “I found you, student Song Shuhang.”
After one sentence, the man hung up.
Immediately following, the long-armed man picked up the unconscious Zhao Yaya and headed quickly towards the blind alley behind the wedding photo studio.
Song Shuhang turned off his phone, and shut his eyes forcefully to calm down. After a short while, he left Guo Xin mansion and chased after the tracks of the long-armed man.
In the blind alley.
Zhao Yaya slumped against the alley wall, and it seemed like she hadn’t been hurt.
Song Shuhang stood five meters away from the long-armed man.
The long armed-man looked up at Song Shuhang and laughed smugly, speaking in Zhao Yaya’s voice, “You came, student Song Shuhang. Aye yai yai, your expression looks terrible.”
In reality, Song Shuhang was expressionless.
“Interesting, when you were in the building, you weren’t surprised by my existence, you only had anger in you. You already knew of me? How unexpected. I was going to surprise you.” The long-armed man continued in Zhao Yaya’s voice.
Song Shuhang was expressionless.
“Does my voice bother you? No need to be so mad, it’s just a small voice changing technique.” The long-armed man said smugly. As he spoke, his voice returned to the low hoarse voice of a man.
Not only his voice, even the long-armed man’s physique could change as he pleased.
“Anyways, for you to have come here, I am happy. This shows that you care for the girl next to me. Her status is that of your cousin, right?” The long-armed man said in a strange manner, “To care for a mortal’s safety, how laughable! Senior~Song~Shu~hang, answer me, are you tempering yourself in the mortal world, or are you really just a mortal?”
Song Shuhang was still expressionless.
“I checked all of your information. You’re just an ordinary brat, all the information from when you were a child indicates that you are a mortal!” the long-armed man suddenly started to yell hysterically, “I can’t understand why the Altar Master would worry about a mortal like you? He even thinks that you are a senior cultivator tempering himself in a mortal world and all your information is a pretense. He thinks that your friends and family are all nominal strangers, who can’t be used to threaten you. He’s even withdrawn from Jiangnan College Town!”
Song Shuhang still remained expressionless, but he obtained some interesting news.
“He not only rejected my information, but also took away the ‘Body Tempering Liquid’ that was supposed to be my reward. It’s all because of you, Song Shuhang! A mere mortal, why was Altar Master so dubious?” the long-armed man continued frantically, “Now tell me, Song Shuhang. Tell me that you are a mortal! Then, let me kill you in this inconspicuous blind alley! Then, I’ll tell the Altar Master that you are a mortal, and I will receive the ‘Body Tempering Liquid’ that belonged to me!
Don’t even think about running away from me. I’m a cultivator who opened the Eye and Nose Apertures, you have no chance of escape! In this blind alley, no one will come to save you! I will kill you, and melt you with Corpse Dissolving Liquid. You won’t have any chance to escape!”
The long-armed man took off his sunglasses, revealing bloodshot eyes.
He was already broken. He had investigated Shong Shuhang thoroughly, and the precious ‘Body Tempering Liquid’ was about to fall into his hands, allowing him to reach further heights in cultivation by opening the third aperture, the Ear Aperture.
But it was then that Altar Master reprimanded him for obtaining false information. Not only was the Body Tempering Liquid reward taken away, but so was his portion of Body Tempering Liquid for this year.
More importantly, he had lost Altar Master’s trust, and his prospects became uncertain.
These events dealt an overbearing blow, exceeding the mental burden that he could accept. So, he found Song Shuhang himself, and kidnapped Zhao Yaya.
He was attempting to kill Song Shuhang in order to prove himself to Altar Master.
“I see, I understand the sequence of events now.” Song Shuhang, who had remained silent, said in a deep voice.
No wonder the ‘Altar Master’ who has been hidden did not steal the ghost spirit himself. Instead, he’d spent a lot of effort to secretly investigate his information, and even sent a subordinate to probe—such extreme caution.
It turned out the opposition thought the same as Soft Feather, thinking that he was a powerful senior
Song Shuhang speculated that when he and Soft Feather arrived at J-City’s Luo Xin street area, they were already being eyed by ‘Altar Master’s’ men. Because Soft Feather called him ‘Senior’ constantly, on top of the formidable ability Soft Feather displayed, it misled the opposition into thinking that he was an exceedingly powerful senior tempering himself in the mortal world.
Coincidentally, Altar Master experienced Medicine Master’s deadly venom, which further solidified the conviction that he was an expert.
More importantly, Altar Master left ‘Jiangnan Area,’ implying that he had been in range of Jiangnan College Town… then, the person who was poisoned second might’ve been Altar Master.
The opponent was worried, which was good news for him.
“Now then…” Song Shuhang stared at the long-armed man. He wanted to confirm his resolve through fighting his opponent—the resolve to face the ruthless world of cultivators.
This was a blind alley no one would find, selected carefully by the long-armed man. Additionally, the long-armed man had that corpse dissolving liquid that could erase all traces.
As long as it was concealed well, no one would find that a murder occurred here any time soon.
The opponent was a cultivator who opened the Eye and Nose Apertures. The ‘stinking pill’ Medicine Master gave him might be of use. Before using the stinking pill, he needed the opponent to reveal an opening. At least, he needed the opponent to leave Zhao Yaya’s side.
“Answer me, student Song Shuhang!” the long-armed man was full of frenzy, pointing his handless blade at Song Shuhang.
Shuhang said in a serious voice, “Body Tempering Liquid.”
“What?”
“Is this what you want?” Song Shuhang took out a small bottle with his left hand, and flipped the cap off with his thumb. Suddenly, Body Tempering Liquid’s special stench spread out.
“Body Tempering Liquid!” the long-armed man jolted for a moment.
“Want it?” Song Shuhang asked calmly.
“Throw it over!” the long-armed man shouted.
“Come get it. I’m just a mere mortal you don’t have to worry about. I can give you this Body Tempering Liquid. So long as you let go of my sister, I can give you more.”
The long-armed man’s eyes opened wide, “More?”
“Yes, more. Enough for you to last a long time!” Song Shuhang’s voice came with a devilish temptation.
The delirious long-armed man looked confusedly at Song Shuhang for a while then approached with caution.
Song Shuhang held out with both hands the bottle of ‘Body Tempering Liquid,’ cooperating and appearing harmless.
Step by step, the long-armed man approached the bottle of Body Tempering Liquid, his eyes glowing. Suddenly, his right foot pushed off the ground, charging at Song Shuhang like an arrow that just left the bow while his right hand reached for the bottle of Body Tempering Liquid.
No matter whether or not Song Shuhang had any crafty tricks, so long as he seized the Body Tempering Liquid with his superior speed, he had nothing to fear.
If this Body Tempering Liquid was real, and Song Shuhang could provide enough Body Tempering Liquid constantly, he may just consider leaving them alive… temporarily!
Cupidity clouds one’s thoughts and riches blind one’s eyes. His mind was filled with more Body Tempering Liquid, but he neglected something—why would Song Shuhang have Body Tempering Liquid? Why could he get more Body Tempering Liquid?
