Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: The Barefoot Are Not Afraid of the Shod!
“No! Elder Chen, don’t listen to that old fool’s nonsense… he’s trying to deceive you…”
Hearing Su Mu’s words, Yu Bo was scared out of his mind and hurriedly tried to persuade Chen Feng! He feared that Chen Feng might impulsively kill him right then and there.
This Soul Hall Elder’s power was above the Fifth-Rank Nascent Soul level, and with so many strong individuals by his side, killing Yu Bo wouldn’t be a difficult task.
Chen Feng looked at Yu Bo with disdain, then turned to Su Mu and said, “Master Su, I do indeed have a sincere intention to cooperate! But I’m not a fool… Yu Bo is right here, and everyone here is mine. He can’t escape, so if Master Su wishes to cooperate, you need to show some sincerity, right?”
Chen Feng, as an elder promoted by Qiu Qianren, was quite cunning!
Killing Yu Bo was an easy task, but once dead, he couldn’t come back to life.
Soul Hall could temporarily control the headquarters of the Bright Moon Pavilion, but the entire Pavilion is a massive sect!
Soul Hall couldn’t possibly control it directly for long.
Therefore, if Su Mu did not cooperate, the bastard would still need to rely on Yu Bo to control the Bright Moon Pavilion!
Before finalizing whether Su Mu agreed to cooperate, he naturally couldn’t kill Yu Bo so easily.
“Then there’s nothing more to discuss! Let’s fight to the death!” Su Mu said resolutely. “After all, we’ve come to this point, and I have nothing more to lose! My daughter has been killed by you people, so what am I afraid of? At worst, I’ll take the refinement technique to hell with me!”
Su Mu turned to his legitimate followers nearby. “It’s just unfortunate for you guys! In the next life, we’ll continue as brothers!”
Chen Feng frowned slightly, as Su Mu’s determination exceeded his expectations.
Soul Hall went to great lengths just for the Bright Moon Pavilion’s crystal ore refinement technique. If they couldn’t get this core technology, what good was it to control an empty shell of the Pavilion?
For this goal, any sacrifice along the way was worth it!
Chen Feng frowned, still pondering how to make Su Mu submit.
Seeing that Chen Feng and Su Mu hadn’t reached an agreement, Yu Bo immediately felt relieved, “You old fool! Don’t think you are the only one who understands the refinement technique. Every time you operated the refinement, I secretly recorded it… Without you, I can still complete the refinement…”
Yu Bo’s purpose in saying these words was simple: to prove his value to Soul Hall.
He told Chen Feng that even if Su Mu died, he could still refine the crystal ores.
But Soul Hall had thoroughly investigated everything about Bright Moon Pavilion before taking action.
Yu Bo could indeed refine the ores… but the purity was less than 50%, and what he produced was not even like crystal coins, just waste!
Moreover, he couldn’t remove the toxic components and the volatile elements from the ores… the coins couldn’t be directly used for cultivation.
What use was such refining?
And this simple filtering and burning method could basically be done by any sect.
But ultimately, why did all the sects in the Southern Immortal Domain rely on Bright Moon Pavilion for refining their ores?
The key core technology and principles were something Yu Bo definitely hadn’t mastered.
“Since Master Su insists, let’s show our sincerity!”
As Chen Feng spoke, he gestured to two of his subordinates beside him.
Two Soul Hall experts swiftly grabbed Yu Bo’s arms, one on each side.
Poof!
Without hesitation, Chen Feng swung his battle saber and chopped off one of Yu Bo’s arms!
“Ah! Damn it, Chen Feng… you actually dared to lay hands on me… you’re burning bridges after crossing them…”
Yu Bo was shocked as he watched the scene unfold, enraged but unable to move as two Nascent Soul experts pinned him down firmly.
Other legitimate line experts around Yu Bo, seeing the Great Elder being attacked, intended to act!
But they hadn’t expected that before they even moved, each of them had at least two Soul Hall experts pressing battle sabers against their waists.
“Don’t move! Behave, and nothing will happen… otherwise, face the consequences…”
Only now did everyone realize that the formidable experts who seemed to be aligned with Great Elder Yu Bo had largely been under Soul Hall’s control!
Now, what’s the point of resistance?
Chen Feng ignored Yu Bo and turned to Su Mu with a smile, “Master Su, now do you see my sincerity? I give you an arm; surely you should respond?”
Su Mu’s face twitched, inwardly shaken by the ruthlessness of Soul Hall’s experts.
These guys really showed no mercy!
“Alright… I can give you a materials list… but for more extensive information, you’ll need to show much more sincerity…”
A wicked grin curled on Su Mu’s lips, tossing a list over to Chen Feng.
Both sides were testing each other!
Chen Feng glanced at the materials list in his hands, which seemed legitimate and resembled the lists previously stolen by Soul Hall from other crystal ore refining families!
Although these contained core secrets of refining, they weren’t the most crucial!
Because with some effort, these details could still be exchanged for intelligence. The most critical materials were undoubtedly omitted by Su Mu… and how to combine and measure the quantities on the list were entirely undisclosed!
Though Su Mu seemed to give a list, it was essentially just a piece of scrap paper!
“Master Su, your sincerity is lacking! This list doesn’t prove anything, does it?” Chen Feng suppressed his anger, staring intently at Su Mu.
But Su Mu remained calm, embracing a suicidal resolve, and thus feared nothing!
“Sorry! Yu Bo’s single arm is worth just this much… he was the one who killed my daughter. Without satisfactory sincerity, do you think I’ll reveal the core secrets to you?”
Chen Feng’s facial muscles twitched violently!
Now, with the Treasury being robbed by Ye Fan, Soul Hall’s internal cultivation resources were extremely scarce, making the need for crystal ores increasingly urgent.
The crux of the problem was that even if Soul Hall seized some crystal ores, without the refinement technique, they were still useless.
Therefore, obtaining the crystal ore refining technique was necessary at any cost!
“Yu Bo, for the development of Soul Hall… your death will not be in vain…”
A shadow crossed Chen Feng’s face as he suddenly thrust his saber into Yu Bo’s chest!
“Borrowing your life!”
Chen Feng had resolved to sacrifice Yu Bo entirely in exchange for Su Mu possibly divulging information!
If Su Mu wouldn’t divulge, there was only one other method Soul Hall could employ. As long as Su Mu still drew breath, the soul-searching technique could pry the refinement secrets from his mind!
“Screw you, Chen Feng, you actually went through with it, you bastard…”
Buzz!
Yu Bo had a backup plan. Seeing Chen Feng deliver a lethal strike, he instantly unleashed his full telekinetic power, blasting away the two Nascent Soul experts beside him!
“Since that’s the case, then none of you will live!”
