Chapter 924

Isn't this the very mission target dispatched by Great Ming?

Hearing this, General Chilaowen could no longer maintain his composure; he immediately turned around and asked Liu Sheng Danmasou,

"Tian Xiang Doukou?"

Liu Sheng Danmasou naturally understood the importance of Tian Xiang Doukou.

Seeing General Chilaowen finally turn back, he couldn't help but exhale in relief, even finding it amusing inside.

He was ambitious, and had long prepared for this.

Shenhou Sect needed Tian Xiang Doukou—it was one of the top-secret intelligence reports brought back by his spies from the Central Plains.

Originally, Liu Sheng Danmasou planned to wait for the right moment to personally present this Tian Xiang Doukou to Shenhou himself, to win his favor.

But now, with Shenhou suddenly sending someone, Liu Sheng Danmasou feared his plan might be disrupted.

That's why he gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and pulled out the Tian Xiang Doukou.

"Exactly!"

Liu Sheng Danmasou pulled out a brocade box from his chest and opened it right before General Chilaowen's eyes.

Instantly, fragrance filled the air, and even in this snowy land, a sense of vitality emerged.

Inside the brocade box lay a fruit no larger than a bean, resting quietly.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, General Chilaowen immediately confirmed this was Great Ming's mission target.

If he obtained this Tian Xiang Doukou and concealed it without reporting,

then Great Ming's mission would naturally fail.

Thinking of this, General Chilaowen chuckled darkly and prepared to take the Tian Xiang Doukou.

"Wait!"

But Liu Sheng Danmasou snapped the brocade box shut and stepped back half a pace.

"What?"

General Chilaowen frowned tightly—this old bastard was all flattery now after being so arrogant before; is he trying to trick me?

That kid named Duan Tianya had an odd aura—could you have one too?

But just now, Liu Sheng Danmasou used that killing technique, Guihai Yidao, mixed with Snow Drifting Through the World.

I easily shattered it using Huanghuo.

So this old bastard probably doesn't have that odd aura.

And yet you're still provoking me?

If you can't give me a good reason, I'll tear you apart alive.

General Chilaowen's resentment—from Tie Muzhen and Duan Tianya—now concentrated entirely on Liu Sheng Danmasou.

Liu Sheng Danmasou had no idea that one wrong answer would send him to meet Yama.

"It's like this."

Pointing at the brocade box, Liu Sheng Danmasou said,

"This is a Tian Xiang Doukou I obtained through immense hardship.

I know Shenhou desperately needs this item.

Originally, I should have offered it with both hands.

But my family, the Liu Sheng clan, has carried a wish since time immemorial.

If Mr. Shenhou could, through you, grant my wish, I would not only offer this Tian Xiang Doukou with both hands,

but also reveal the whereabouts of another Tian Xiang Doukou."

In truth, Liu Sheng Danmasou confirmed General Chilaowen was from Shenhou Sect

because General Chilaowen's power was simply too terrifying.

In his mind, aside from Shenhou of the Central Plains, no one else could have a subordinate like this.

So he assumed General Chilaowen was sent by Shenhou.

General Chilaowen had no idea of Liu Sheng Danmasou's misunderstanding; he'd nearly been ready to seize the item by force due to his endless rambling.

Then he heard that Liu Sheng Danmasou not only had one Tian Xiang Doukou, but also knew the location of another.

Great Ming's mission required three Tian Xiang Doukou.

If he obtained two, Great Ming would be left helpless.

Though he didn't know what punishment Great Ming would impose for failing this Qinglong Society mission,

he guessed it would be severe.

So General Chilaowen grinned and nodded, saying,

"Your wish is to become the Great General of the Expeditionary Forces, right?"

"Exactly!"

Liu Sheng Danmasou beamed and asked,

"How did you know?"

You old bastard kept repeating it in front of me—how many times?

If I still didn't know, wouldn't I be Bai Chi?

It's just a damn Great General—why so excited?

Didn't I give up my own Great General of the Qie Xie Army whenever I wanted?

Look at your pitiful ambition!

General Chilaowen mentally ranted, but his face remained expressionless; he nodded and said,

"I'll relay your request."

He didn't say who to pass it on to, nor whether anyone would recognize it afterward.

But Liu Sheng Danma Shou, who had mistaken General Chilaowen for a special envoy of Zhuge Shenhou, was now overjoyed.

He immediately held out the brocade box with both hands and said,

"Thank you so much, Old Master!"

Once I become Grand General who Subdues the Barbarians, you shall be the honored guest of You Dongying.

The entire nation will revere you."

To ensure General Chilaowen would truly aid him, Liu Sheng Danma Shou uttered more empty flattery.

General Chilaowen, eager to learn the whereabouts of the second Tian Xiang Doukou, had no choice but to play along and said,

"Then thank you, Master Liu Sheng."

Taking the brocade box, General Chilaowen tucked it into his own pouch, then asked Liu Sheng Danma Shou,

"Then where is the second Tian Xiang Doukou?"

General Chilaowen was playing along solely for the sake of the second Tian Xiang Doukou.

"It's like this."

Although this Old Master cannot represent Zhuge Shenhou,

in Liu Sheng Danma Shou's eyes, his Wu Gong was extraordinary, and he had come alone to You Dongying—he must be Zhuge Shenhou's most trusted confidant.

Someone like him could surely speak directly to Zhuge Shenhou.

Without hesitation, Liu Sheng Danma Shou immediately revealed the whereabouts of the second Tian Xiang Doukou:

"I once heard that the second Tian Xiang Doukou is currently enshrined beneath the Buddha statue in the Damo Hall of Yunzhou Shaolin."

"Heard?"

General Chilaowen couldn't help wanting to curse—so you just heard it?

723 I've been fooled!

"Er…"

How could Liu Sheng Danma Shou not notice the anger on the Old Master's face?

But Tian Xiang Doukou was so precious—he truly had only heard it, after all.

Now anxious, he tried to explain further.

Unexpectedly, General Chilaowen had already let it go.

If he'd only heard it, then he'd just go and check for himself.

If there truly was one in the Damo Hall of Yunzhou Shaolin, he'd simply take it.

If there wasn't, he'd just leave.
