BXBX NOVEL Chapter 472 Scattering the Information
Most importantly, the Primary Central sect was not the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. Even if they knew Qin Wushuang’s identity, they would not necessarily chase them while disregarding all consequences.
Additionally, the Primary Central Sect might not even learn the identity from Dong Xiong.
"So strange, how come trouble is coming one after another?" Bao Bao panted with exhaustion.
"This is more exciting!" Lone was rather cheerful.
"Ha ha, whenever I think about how Boss shoot that Su to death, it’s so refreshing!" Apparently, Lone’s mind was still lingering on that battle.
"That Dong Xiong was Su’s friend, he must be suffering quite a bit at this moment. Ha ha, Iit sounds that the Dark Green Cloud Daoist and the Primary Central sect are not friendly. If not for their conflict today, it would have been truly tough for us to get out. I am afraid the strength of that leader of the Primary Central sect is no less than that Chen Sen’s."
Bao Bao sighed with sorrow when he thought about that Elder Han Qing of the Primary Central sect. He had to admit that without Dong Xiong taking the blame, it would be extremely tough for them to escape unscathed from the Primary Central sect.
...
At the Divine Finger Mountain, after Han Qing had pinned Dong Xiong down, just when he was about to make the killing move, he realized that Qin Wushuang’s group had escaped. His expression changed and with a glare to his group of subordinates, he seemed visibly dissatisfied. With these many people at the scene, they had let those people get away.
Seizing this opportunity, Dong Xiong cried: "Sire, I already said that I have important information to inform you. Now those three guys have escaped, it’s the same as an enormous fortuitous opportunity disappearing!"
"Humph!" Inwardly, Han Qing also felt slightly regretful. Yet, he would not admit it on the surface as he waved his hand: "Take this guy back to the Primary Central sect!"
Dong Xiong immediately said: "Sire, why are you so stubborn? It’s still not too late to let me go. If we genuinely let those three guys run far enough, I promise that you will regret it for your rest of your lives!"
Han Qing made a hand gesture to motion the people who were escorting to stop.
Some flush of red appeared on Dong Xiong’s face. Clearly, he knew that the other party had been truly moved. Immediately, he struck while the iron was still hot: "Sire, I vow with the name of the Dark Green Cloud Daoist sect, if I speak a single word of lie, let me be extinguished by heavenly punishment!"
Han Qing frowned and said: "Talk about this so-called secret. If it’s worth the money, it’s not too difficult to let you go."
Dong Xiong shook his head and said with a determined attitude: "If I talk about it, it means I am cutting away my own life. You should know this point clearer than anyone. Sire, if you are sincere, you should suggest a resolution that is acceptable to both sides. As long as you can ensure my safety, you will receive this top secret news."
Han Qing rolled his eyes: "Then why don’t you speak of what kind of resolution you are willing to accept?"
After a moment of thinking, Dong Xiong opened his mouth to speak: "It’s simple, as long as we return to the Orderly Mountain capital city, I will tell you guys this information. As for whether you can earn it, it would depend on your skills."
Han Qing denied it resolutely: "Impossible! When we arrive at your Orderly Mountain territory, it would be strange if you would still be willing to cooperate."
"Then what do you say we should do?"
Han Qing said: "At most I can send you all the way to the outside of the city gate. If you don’t find it reassuring, you can tell your fellow colleagues to pick you up."
Dong Xiong thought for a moment and said: "Ok, I will take a step back."
However, Han Qing’s subordinate advised: "Elder Han, I am afraid that this guy is only trying to escape death and are saying these words deliberately to confuse us. His words are not trustworthy."
Naturally, Han Qing had his reasoning. Initially, he thought that Dong Xiong had such motivation. However, when Qin Wushuang and his group had escaped while seizing the chance, other thoughts had emerged. He thought that if those three were not guilty, why would they escape risking their lives?
Thus, he had seventy percent confidence regarding Dong Xiong’s words. With this grasp of assurance, he was willing to gamble on it.
"Zhuo, you will head first to the Orderly Mountain prefecture. Inform his family to pick him up at the city gate. Remember, you must control the time and only be one step ahead of us. You must never leave them with too much time and allow them to ask the local thug of the Dark Green Cloud Daoist sect to deal with us."
One of the subordinate took the order: "Yes, Elder Han!"
Initially, Dong Xiong had some evil intention as he wanted to use this method to attract his fellow colleagues to rescue him. Hearing Han Qing’s words, he immediately knew that his plan of counting his chicken before they were hatched would not work. Inwardly, he could not help but feel somewhat depressed.
However, he saw that Han Qing’s arrangement seemed sincere in that he wanted to make the trade with him. Immediately, he said: "Of course you cannot go to my home. I will give you a token. You can just head to the Old Tang pawn shop at the Oak street of the Orderly Mountain capital city, and give the token to any one of them to explain the situation."
Dong Xiong was not an idiot. Naturally, he must guard against them and leave some leverage to the Primary Central sect.
Both parties were not kind people. When either sides could not gain advantage, it would rather facilitate this trade. Indeed, everything went smoothly.
When Dong Xiong and his captors had arrived outside the Orderly Mountain capital city, Zhuo had just brought people here as well. Although Dong Xiong felt gloomy, he had accepted this reality. He would not feel ashamed since he had fell into the pit trap of these elite warriors of the Primary Central sect.
"Ahead is the Orderly Mountain capital city, right?" Han Qing asked lightly. Despite his light tone, it had a wave of otherwise, dignified imposing manner.
To live or to die is all in between your flash of thoughts. If you play tricks on me now, or give me a false information, I can still take your life now. Even if your Dark Green Cloud Daoist Sect are to seek revenge, it would all be in the aftermath!
While facing such threats, Dong Xiong was extremely calm. He gave a light smile as all of his previous reluctance was swept away. He did not evade his gaze and looked at Han Qing to speak: "Since I made a vow, of course I will not use lies to cheat you. Those three people that had escaped, one of them was Qin Wushuang, who had come from the human countries. You are not unfamiliar with this name, right Elder Han?"
"Qin Wushuang?" Instantly, a stunned expression appeared on Han Qing’s face. Then, a trace of regret flashed across his face as he said: "Are you speaking the truth?"
"If it’s a lie, let ten thousand arrows penetrate my heart!" At this time, there was nothing Dong Xiong could hide.
The expression on Han Qing’s face was inscrutable. Yet, a stormy sea of emotions had flipped his heart upside down as he felt endless remorse. Qin Wushuang, Qin Wushuang...
The bounty issued by the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect had been bubbling and gurgling. Not only had the Orderly Mountain prefecture been bustling with activity, news had also spread across all corners of their neighboring prefecture, the Judge Mountain prefecture. The strongest sect of the Judge Mountain prefecture was the Primary Central sect of the Divine Finger Mountain.
This Primary Central Sect incorporated a powerful intelligence network. When they had learned the information regarding Qin Wushuang, they also learned the value of the bounty on his head. Of course, they had aimed their sights precisely onto Qin Wushuang’s Graceful Spiritual Bow.
After all, a legendary divine weapon posed as lethal temptation to these sects in between second to third rate at the Xuan Yuan Mound.
Once the legend was verified and if it were truly a divine weapon, the sect that had acquired this weapon would almost certainly leap to great success, like a carp leaping through the dragon’s gate. Even if they could not become a first rate sect, they would definitely look down on all second rate sects. For your information, even those peak sects in the second rate would not dare to claim to have a divine weapon!
The majority part of the reason behind the longevity of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates was because of having divine weapon. And it was also because they had the elite warriors to unleash the power of the divine weapon!
Of course, outside the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, there were a few other powerful sects in the Xuan Yuan Mound. One could not say that besides the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, the other powerhouses would not have divine weapons.
However, having a divine weapon would not guarantee them to become one of the Eight Gates. At least, having a divine weapon meant that they would have the chance to compete in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain!
To any of the sects in the Xuan Yuan Mound, it was a tremendous allure. For your information, after becoming one of the Eight Gates, it meant that you would have the qualification to compete for the position of the Heavenly Emperor.
Upon acquiring the position of the Heavnely Emperor, the sect would, from then on, inspire awe throughout the entire world and rule over the Xuan Yuan Mound. Indeed they would be second to just one.
The higher-ups of the Primary Central sect had received orders. Being the Elder of the sect, Han Qing was one of the higher-ups. Naturally, he knew what Qin Wushuang’s value represented.
However, Han Qing had never expected that because of his negligence and mistake, he had allowed Qin Wushuang to escape right under their eyes.
When he thought here, Han Qing’s voice grew colder: "Qin Wushuang...How do you know that he is Qin Wushuang for sure?"
"It’s a long story. Regarding it, I must start the story with that friend of mine..." Dong Xiong did not hide and explained the sequence of events from how General Manager Su went to find him and how he had gotten involved in attacking the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan.
Han Qing’s face turned purple the more he listened. Apparently, after hearing these words, he became even more certain that Dong Xiong was speaking the truth. At the moment, the word ’regretful’ could not even begin to describe his current mood"
"Elder Han, I’ve already revealed everything I know." Dong Xiong reminded him.
Han Qing gave a long sigh and waved his hand: "Let him go."
Finally, those three who had escorted Dong Xiong let go of his bindings. Han Qing waved his hand: "Let’s go!"
They had left right away. Dong Xiong’s forehead was full of drops of sweat as he let out a deep breath of air. Thankfully, he had used the information to exchange for his life.
"It’s alright, go back." Dong Xiong waved his hand. He did not care about those who had come to pick him up as he dashed towards the inside of the city alone.
He knew that since Qin Wushuang had left the Orderly Prefecture Mountain, his hope to chase after him was completely destroyed. Now, his only thought was to turn the information into profits.
When he thought here, Dong Xiong moved even quicker. This time, he headed directly towards the manor of the Prefecture Lord.
Currently, Xie Sancai was talking with Mu Rong Qianji at the manor. Hearing that Dong Xiong had come to pay a visit, he waved his hand impatiently: "No, I will not meet him, this guy doesn’t know his position."
His comments had naturally meant that despite Dong Xiong being a disciple to the Dark Green Clou Daoist sect, he was not qualified to meet with Xie San Cai due to the humongous difference between their identities.
Yet, that subordinate said: "That Dong said that he has a major information to inform Lord Mu Rong. He said that you will surely regret it if you don’t see him."
The color on Xie Sancai’s face was not looking good. However, Mu Rong Qianji was surprised inwardly as he said with a smile: "Prefecture Lord, why don’t you let him in?"
