BXBX NOVEL Chapter 329 - These Aren’t Enough for Me to Help You
Such actions, he reckoned, earned the wrath of many many factions, hunting him down for years to come.
Time to draw an escape plan.
The fatty whispered something, “Master, what do I do when you run away?”
Chen Ming pointed at the jail and it was enough for the fatty. Chen Ming wanted him to play the victim. “But how will I find you afterward, Master?”
“Take this bodhi tree fruit to the Obsidian Star in the Three-headed Dragon Constellation. It will lead you to a newly developed star. Your seniors are all there. Give them the fruit and they will understand.”
“Right, I will also give you a task for your travels. You formed the Ten Values Dao’s Dao Seed and have an inkling of fortune-telling. On your journey, you are to cheat the heartless nobles out of a hundred thousand tales of gold and give it to the poor. Understand?”
He heard it crystal clear, Yan Mountain must be a righteous sect! “Master, disciple will bear in mind!”
With a wronged look, the fatty saw how the cell’s door closed in behind.
Chen Ming gave him such a task to see if he could be his proxy in completing his mission, gaining a title and also an aura to boot. If it worked, he’d have a brand new way to teach those disciples of his.
With the fatty tucked in, he ventured towards the Headless Assembly’s jail wing. Chen Ming controlled the area to block all sound from leaking.
He walked in and waved, changing the scene to pitch black. When he found a lamp, he smiled, “I know you have a way to notify the Faceless behind you, but when you do, remember to tell them this, the Faceless’ creed. A prideful Faceless never stints from borrowing knives.”
A Faceless mask laid in his hand, throwing them for a loop. Crown Prince Star Dragon is a Faceless!
No wonder he wears a smiley mask!
Chen Ming continued, “Internal conflicts and outside matters are independent. Regarding the external part, this is our, Headless Assembly, win. On the matter of internal, you all lost. I revealed my identity as Crown Prince Star Dragon and now welcome the Faceless to come and kill me!”
They saw his act for what it was, a taunt!
He flaunted his identity in his thinking that the Faceless wouldn’t let this matter get out.
Headless Assembly had no Tree of Martyrs yet it was still the strongest among the Immortal Domains, and not without reason.
Their civil war was cruel and relentless! But even this was put aside for the good of the faction, to protect its interest.
Each Faceless was a lofty existence one that would never stoop as low as borrowing daggers in their civil war.
There was a saying traveling among them, A Faceless shall only die at the hands of another Faceless.
Faceless would never involve themselves in the battles of other factions, they needed only send their Blades and all was settled.
Such an abnormal organization, while boasting itself with its schemes and cunning when it came to fending off the other Immortal Domains, it still sported great power. I was a paragon in the Galaxy.
In this part of the Galaxy, no one would openly admit the Headless Assembly wasn’t the strongest.
Headless Assembly stood for all that was dark, that the light was in shambles.
A cultivator spoke up, “Sire Faceless, we accept your invitation to assassination!”
Then another one said just moments later, “I shall oblige sire Faceless and also accept your invitation! He said to tell you that Faceless who chose the path of death will always be the arrogant ones who stepped into the light.”
Chen Ming laughed, “I am grateful for your counsel. I will also tell you, make sure you don’t expose yourself when killing me. Good, I don’t know if there are or aren’t any Faceless colleagues among you. But if there are, then it will be amusing.”
Chen Ming watched them with a steel expression. Looks like I can’t dupe him into coming out.
Then forget it.
With the Headless Assembly’s worry off his back, Chen Ming can resume squeezing these geniuses.
He asked for the fiends to hand over the papers. Chen Ming inspected them and saw no problem in their writings. Most fiends geniuses knew their fair share of scripture, and if they weren’t slaughtered to this extent, he would’ve had gotten much more.
Flipping through each book, Chen Ming’s number of Dao Seeds grew to new heights, 1800!
Looks like this trip will take me to two thousand!
The scriptures on the Scarlet Tide Continent were truly few and even incomplete. Yet the ones from the fiends were mostly new to him.
Chen Ming finished with the books then walked in front of a cell, checking if the geniuses inside did their homework. The first was the imperial prince’s cell of course. Yet, to his disappointment, he was met with a blank paper, “What’s wrong? Even writing a page is too hard for you, Heavenly Court’s imperial prince, Jade Emperor’s son?”
The imperial prince had a helpless look, “The ones I know can’t be shared, all coming from the stele.”
Chen Ming’s cursed inside, Are you showing off?
With your knowledge amassed over countless years, as an imperial prince, that’s the extent of your treatment?
“Then I’ll leave it at that, but if there’s nothing suitable among your treasures then the consequences will be dire.”
The imperial prince grew irate, “I’m the imperial prince, regardless of who you are, you are unable to handle Heavenly Court’s wrath in killing me! Even if fell from favor, I am still an imperial prince!”
Chen Ming used kind words to persuade him. “How can an imperial prince enjoy talking about killing at the drop of the hat? I have many ways at my disposal. If I give you a bucket of aphrodisiac then throw a hog in, tell me, can you still handle it?”
His face lit like a tomato, “Disgusting!”
Chen Ming spread his arms, “The claims of victor are made truth in triumph. The defeated must pay the price. This is a basic rule in war. How can I hit you for nothing? In truth, you all planned to kill me yet I, a senior, spared your life. This is save enough for my dignity.”
The imperial prince only clenched his teeth.
Chen Ming waved, “Someone, go and fetch me a hog!”
The imperial prince hastily said, “Stop! Here are ten fortune immortal fruits to promote Earth Immortals!”
The fruits appeared before Chen Ming. He only eyed them for a second, Bu Liuhen took ten Celestial Immortal ranked fortune immortal fruits like nothing. “These aren’t enough for me to help with your situation!”
The imperial prince felt crestfallen, “I will give you one fruit that can make a Celestial Immortal!”
