Chapter 514: Chapter 239: The Su Family Comes to Redeem Their Man (Part 3)

"Mr. Changqing is truly considerate."

Mu Qingge also felt that Li Changqing was doing the right thing.

After Wu Santong became familiar with this body, he temporarily took his leave from Li Changqing. Whether others knew or not, he wanted to first report the situation to Li Hengsheng.

Li Changqing also reminded Wu Santong to attribute everything to the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable.

So, Wu Santong donned a black robe and left Changqing Mansion.

For now, no one should see Wu Santong’s movements.

After Wu Santong left, Li Changqing thought it over and still felt uneasy, so he quietly followed.

At dusk.

Li Hengsheng was in the Inspection Mansion reading documents, but he was worried inside about why Wu Santong hadn’t returned yet.

Could something have happened? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Li Hengsheng decided to wait and see. If he still hadn’t returned by tomorrow morning, he would personally go to Beihan City to look for him.

Just then, a throwing weapon suddenly flew up, and Li Hengsheng reached out to catch it.

He saw there was a note attached.

Li Hengsheng opened it to find just one sentence.

Ten miles outside the city at the slope, Wu Santong is in my hands, come alone.

Seeing this note, Li Hengsheng suddenly stood up.

Who could it be?

After thinking for a moment, Li Hengsheng picked up the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear and left alone; he needed to first find out who the other party was, then rescue Wu Santong.

When Li Hengsheng arrived at the slope ten miles outside the city, he first observed from a distance, finding no one around.

Despite a sense of nervousness, Li Hengsheng felt some assurance. At worst, he could once again risk using the Sun and Moon True Flame.

His Sun and Moon True Flame could even reduce those with Innate Perfection to ashes. Even facing a Grandmaster, his Sun and Moon True Flame would pose a threat.

If worst comes to worst, life or death.

Wu Santong was his brother; he couldn’t stand by idly.

"You’ve arrived."

At that moment, a voice came from behind Li Hengsheng. He turned to see a cloaked figure clad in black.

"Who are you? Where is my junior brother Wu?"

Li Hengsheng gripped the Immortal-Extinguishing Spear tighter, but upon seeing the opponent was merely at the Postnatal Peak stage, he relaxed somewhat.

But relaxing did not mean lowering his guard, as there might still be accomplices around.

"Don’t you recognize me?"

The person in black removed the hood, revealing Su Xianci’s face.

At this moment, Su Xianci was smiling at Li Hengsheng.

"It’s you." Li Hengsheng narrowed his eyes slightly. "How did you get out? You should have been trapped by the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable inside the Great Dream Soul Stone."

"Don’t worry about how I got out. The key is that I did, and your junior brother Wu Santong is in my hands. What can you do about it?" Su Xianci said smugly, "Li Hengsheng, you’re always against me. Now that your junior brother is in my hands, you have to do as I say, or I can’t guarantee your junior brother’s safety."

"If anything happens to my junior brother, you’ll accompany him in death in no time," Li Hengsheng replied coldly.

At this moment, Li Hengsheng’s killing intent was not diminished in the slightest.

From his hiding spot, Li Changqing watched this scene speechlessly, not expecting Wu Santong to come back with a changed body and instantly play this prank on his own son.

Though to call it a prank, Li Changqing thought Wu Santong might be testing Li Hengsheng’s reaction.

"Cut the crap; just do as I say, or I’ll kill Wu Santong," Su Xianci declared loudly.

Li Hengsheng took a deep breath, then said plainly, "Tell me what you want me to do."

"I know you’ve acquired a lot of Dragon Blood Essence. Give it all to me, and I’ll release your junior brother Wu, or you’ll see his corpse in the next moment," Su Xianci said with a wicked grin.

"Dragon Blood Essence?"

Li Hengsheng was momentarily stunned. Su Xianci didn’t have a Divine Body; what did he need that for?

"Are you giving it or not!" Su Xianci said sternly.

"Let me see my junior brother first. If I confirm he’s unharmed, I can give it to you," Li Hengsheng replied.

"You have no right to negotiate with me," Su Xianci shook his head.

"If you don’t comply, your junior brother’s head will roll in the next moment," Su Xianci squinted his eyes, "or you can take a chance and gamble."

Li Hengsheng furrowed his brows, then pulled a bottle from his breast pocket and tossed it to Su Xianci.

Li Hengsheng dared not gamble.

After all, it was Wu Santong’s life at stake.

Su Xianci caught the bottle, opened it, and immediately a domineering force emanated from within.

"It really is Dragon Blood Essence," Su Xianci’s face instantly lit up with excitement.

"Release my junior brother," Li Hengsheng said coldly.

"Senior brother, I’m Wu Santong," Su Xianci said, sealing the bottle, then stepping forward, "it was just a joke, hehe, here’s your stuff back."

With that, he handed the bottle back to Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng, upon hearing Su Xianci, was suddenly dumbfounded.

He didn’t quite understand what Su Xianci meant.

So, Wu Santong came forward and explained everything to Li Hengsheng, who finally understood.

The soul residing within the body of Su Xianci was actually Wu Santong’s.

It was roughly equivalent to Wu Santong taking over Su Xianci’s body, and upon learning that the person orchestrating this behind the scenes was the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, Li Hengsheng breathed a deep sigh of relief. If it had been anyone else, Li Hengsheng might have thought the matter was unreliable, but since it was the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, Li Hengsheng didn’t have much doubt.
