Chapter 381
"Chen Hao, you’ve come out?"
"Mm."
Regarding Chen Ziyan’s question, Chen Hao appeared very cold.
It wasn't that he wanted to be cold, but the current Chen Hao had to disguise himself as the Decay Great Saint.
Chen Hao looked at the blind man and said to him, "I am preparing to leave here now."
"As for you guys, continue to stay here and guard this place well for me."
"Ah?"
The blind man appeared a bit surprised.
"Master, do you not want us anymore?"
The blind man was still grateful to the Decay Great Saint at this moment.
"My current strength is not enough, and I cannot take you with me."
"It’s okay, it’s precisely because your strength is not enough that you need us even more!"
"We feel that we should be inseparable from you, so that we can protect your safety."
When Chen Hao heard this, he finally understood why the blind man had ended up in his current state.
Such a "straightforward" person was truly rare.
"Fine, since you want to follow me, I have one thing for you to do."
"Please speak."
Chen Hao took out a pen, wrote a phone number on it, and handed it to the blind man.
He said to the blind man, "Later, have Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu dial the number on this."
"Just say that Chen Hao told you to come."
"At that time, the person on the other end of the phone will be responsible for meeting you."
"And you?"
"I need to find a way to recover my strength now; if you follow me, I won't be able to cultivate."
"And if you are here, you might expose my identity and put me in danger."
"Alright."
The blind man made a compromise.
After explaining clearly, Chen Hao took Chen Ziyan and left.
Chen Hao took Chen Ziyan and left the large cemetery.
After circling the city several times, they stopped in an underground parking garage.
Chen Ziyan looked coldly at Chen Hao and said, "Who are you?"
"Me? Chen Hao!"
Chen Hao said with a smile.
"I don't believe it!"
Chen Ziyan thought Chen Hao had been possessed.
"Don't believe it? It seems your butt is itchy again."
"I recently learned a new move; let’s try it out."
"Are you satisfied now?"
Chen Ziyan looked at Chen Hao with a resentful expression.
"Are you not satisfied?"
"No amount of satisfaction could compare to yours."
"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's get out of here."
Chen Hao and Chen Ziyan left the underground parking garage.
The two returned to the Killing Tower.
No sooner had they arrived than they encountered a man.
This man had a fierce, scowling expression and stared coldly at Chen Hao and Chen Ziyan.
"Are you Chen Ziyan?"
"I am!"
Chen Ziyan said coldly, "Do you have business with me?"
"I do, of course I do!"
"I am here to place a commission with you."
"A commission? What kind of commission?"
"I want you to help me kill someone."
"Kill someone? Who?"
"The person who killed my son."
"Your son?"
"First, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhao Zihu."
"As for the rest, I won't go into too much detail."
"With the capabilities of your Killing Tower, you will certainly be able to find out."
"Hmm."
Chen Ziyan nodded.
Since he was a client, her attitude improved slightly.
"You say you want to avenge your son, so you should at least tell us the name of the other party."
"You don't expect us to investigate it for you, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zihu extended his right index finger.
"One hundred million!"
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan let out a cold snort.
"Only one hundred million?"
Zhao Zihu was not very satisfied with Chen Ziyan's reaction.
"Then how much do you want?"
"You could try raising the price!"
Zhao Zihu's face turned black instantly, and he continued, "One billion. That is my limit."
"If that won't do, then I'll go find someone else."
Chen Ziyan smiled when she heard this.
"Suit yourself, go find whoever you want!"
"I'm not taking this job anyway!"
Seeing Chen Ziyan's response, Zhao Zihu prepared to fly into a rage.
"If she won't take the money, I can!"
A figure walked over from the corner.
"You?"
Zhao Zihu looked at the woman before him with suspicion.
The woman was dressed like a witch; she curled the corners of her mouth and said with a smile, "When it comes to fighting, we might not be your match."
"But if it's about finding someone, you might not be as good as me."
As she spoke, the witch pulled out a crystal ball.
"See this? As long as you pay a small price,"
"it can help you fulfill your wish."
Zhao Zihu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
"Is that really just a small wish?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the legendary Wishing Witch."
Hearing this, the witch revealed an awkward smile.
"Oh my, I didn't think my disguise was so good, yet you still recognized me."
"Rumor has it that making a wish to the Wishing Witch requires paying a heavy price."
"I wonder if that's true?"
The Wishing Witch said, "Whether it's true or not, why don't you try it and see?"
"Fine."
"At most, it'll cost ten years of my lifespan. I can afford that."
The Wishing Witch's eyes lit up when she heard this.
She had assumed Zhao Zihu only knew a little bit, but she hadn't expected him to know so much.
"Since you want to try, then come ahead."
The Wishing Witch placed the Wishing Orb in front of Zhao Zihu.
Zhao Zihu reached his hand toward the Wishing Orb.
For a moment, everyone on the scene became tense.
Especially Chen Ziyan; her heart couldn't help but pound wildly.
Others might not know, but she, Chen Ziyan, knew clearly.
The one who killed Zhao Xuecheng was none other than Chen Hao, who was standing right there.
Chen Ziyan subconsciously began to worry for Chen Hao.
Zhao Zihu placed his right hand on the Wishing Orb.
The entire Wishing Orb instantly burst forth with a dazzling light.
Everyone widened their eyes and stared in unison at the Wishing Orb.
"How... how could it be him?"
Zhao Zihu found it unbelievable.
Because the person shown inside the orb was Ming Kai.
"That damn fellow, I'm going to go settle the score with him."
After saying this, Zhao Zihu bolted out of the room in a flash.
Seeing Zhao Zihu moving further and further away,
Chen Ziyan let out a sigh of relief. She glanced at Chen Hao and finally fixed her gaze on the Wishing Witch.
The Wishing Witch's mouth was full of smiles.
She looked at Chen Hao with a grin.
"Do you two know each other?"
Seeing this situation, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
Chen Hao nodded and said to the Wishing Witch, "Lala, long time no see."
"How did you end up becoming a Wishing Witch?"
Hearing this, Lala scratched her head in embarrassment.
"I had no choice. After I snuck out that day, I realized I was lost."
"Later, I didn't have any money in my pockets, so to make a living, I had to take up this trade."
"Originally, I only wanted money, but who knew the wishes they asked for would become increasingly outrageous."
"You know, everything comes with a corresponding price."
"Since they want good things, they naturally have to offer something of equal value in exchange."
Chen Hao nodded upon hearing this.
He just hadn't expected that Lala, this fellow, would become so famous that even Zhao Zihu would know her.
"Let's go, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside."
Inside a private room.
Lala was devouring the fruit platter like a starving ghost.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Because she was eating too fast, Lala nearly choked.
She said, "I just cast a spell, so my energy is severely depleted. Naturally, I have to eat more to replenish it."
Lala looked at Chen Hao and said, "I didn't expect the person who killed his son to be you."
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan asked, "Did you help change the target?"
"Yes."
Lala nodded.
"Luckily, I was clever and temporarily changed that guy's wish."
"He wanted to find the enemy who killed his son, and I changed the wish to 'who else has this enemy killed'."
"That's why it showed Ming Kai."
"I didn't expect Chen Hao to have not only killed his son but also killed a guy named Ming Kai."
Chen Hao's expression was somewhat solemn at this moment.
He hadn't expected Zhao Xuecheng to have such a father.
Zhao Zihu was a powerhouse at the first stage of the Saint Realm.
Chen Ziyan continued, "I heard that after reaching the Saint Realm, one gains the ability to deduce heavenly secrets."
"Couldn't that guy Zhao Zihu have calculated it himself?"
Hearing this, Lala smiled and said, "Deduce heavenly secrets?"
"At their level, they are definitely even more afraid of death."
"They can deduce heavenly secrets, but revealing them comes with a price."
"Some prices are too high, even for Saints to bear."
Chen Ziyan nodded.
"No wonder he was willing to pay a bit of his lifespan just to have you help him find the answer."
"Yeah, looking at it that way, he got a bargain."
"It's a pity he still doesn't know that he was tricked by you."
Lala shrugged her shoulders.
