Chapter 168 - Collusion
"You don't want to tell me? Very well! I will see if you can resist forever."
Seeing that the man did not mean to say anything, Yang Song smiled at him coldly as he took out a Soul Binding Talisman.
Seeing this, the man had a bad omen in his heart, but before he could say anything, he saw the strange yellow paper suddenly glowed and vanished into his body.
After he finished doing this, Yang Song took his foot away from the man's chest leisurely and took a step back.
Feeling that the pressure on his body disappeared, he got up with a laugh and wanted to run, but his smile soon disappeared and he gulped his saliva constantly.
"W-what did you just do to my body?" The man froze in place and he could only open his mouth.
Yang Song did not say any nonsense, he willed it casually and the man fell to his knees instantly.
"Now, tell me the reason why the Carefree League wants to capture her so much?" Yang Song asked coldly.
"I… I don't know…" The man tried his best to not answer this, but this answer still came out, somehow.
Yang Song raised his brows and felt quite unexpected, and he continued, "Then tell me what you know."
"I… I don't know anything…"
"You don't know anything?" Yang Song narrowed his eyes. "Since it is so, then it means that you have no value. Since you have no value… then, kill yourself."
The man was stunned for a second before he took out a dagger and pressed it in the direction of his neck.
In his heart, he was extremely terrified and wanted to stop his own actions, but it seemed like his body was not his.
In a blink of an eye, the dagger touched the neck and slashed a line without hesitation.
Blood gushed out frantically and an A-rank powerhouse died just like this.
Other people in the restaurant were still in a state of an extreme shock and could not come back to their senses for a while.
By the time, they came back to their sense, the people of the Carefree League suddenly felt a pain in their necks. Then, all of them lost their consciousness and fell to the ground noisily.
Man Liang, Man Qiaofei, and Feng Yi were shocked by this.
The smell of blood spread out instantly, and the scene became extremely bloody.
Without saying anything, Yang Song took out several Corpse Melting Talismans and Cleansing Talismans and cleaned the place leisurely.
…
A few minutes later, Feng Yi and the other two people were standing nervously in front of Yang Song.
"S-senior, thank you for helping us…" Feng Yi bowed to Yang Song.
Seeing her action, Man Liang and his adoptive daughter Man Qiaofei, also followed suit.
Yang Song just looked at them slightly and did not say anything. A moment later, Yang Song left for Li Wanjing's mansion instead of Tong City.
Seeing that Yang Song suddenly came back, Li Wanjing and a few other people hurriedly came over and greeted him.
Yang Song looked at Li Wanjing and said, "Give me the phone number of Xiang Qingsu."
Hearing this, although Li Wanjing did not know why Yang Song wanted Xiang Qingsu's number, he still gave it to Yang Song quickly.
After he got Xiang Qingsu's number, he dialed her right away.
"State your identity…" the phone was picked up and Xiang Qingsu's voice came.
"It's me," Yang Song did not mind and said quietly.
Xiang Qingsu recognized Yang Song's voice right away and she changed her tone hastily, "Sorry, so it's Senior Sword Immortal…"
Hearing the title "Sword Immortal", Yang Song frowned slightly and said, "Don't call me that, my title is 'Blue Bolt Sovereign'."
"Yes, senior. So, why can I help you with, senior?"
Yang Song did not talk too much nonsense, and asked straightforwardly, "Has your interrogation made any progress?"
There was a moment of silence.
Ling Dehu was the inner ghost that blended inside the Ability Guild.
According to reason, Xiang Qingsu certainly could not tell Yang Song the result of the interrogation.
However, just when Yang Song wanted to ask more questions, Xiang Qingsu said, "It seems that senior, you should have discovered or encountered something."
Now that she had decided to talk about it, she did not talk nonsense too much, and directly said, "Our interrogation against Ling Dehu has had preliminary results. The group of people who attacked our branch came from an organization called the 'Carefree League'."
She paused and asked, "Senior, do you know the general situation of the major forces and organizations in and around Martial City?"
LI Wanjing had told Yang Song about it before, so Yang Song replied, "More or less."
Xiang Qingsu said, "This Carefree League is one of the three extrajudicial organizations with the same reputation as the Infinite Bounty Organization and another mysterious organization that even I don't know its name."
At this moment, Yang Song's previous speculations had all been confirmed.
Because Ren Qing who attacked the Phoenix Restaurant the previous time came from a mysterious organization, and that should be the Carefree League.
Sure enough, Xiang Qingsu continued, "The Carefree League has been working on a plan recently. This plan involves two people: Xiang Qingxue and Man Qiaofei."
"Judging from the results we got from Ling Dehu, they want to kidnap Xiang Qingxue because they want to use her life to make some kind of transaction with the founder of the Ability Guild, Three Stars Masters."
"And the kidnapping of Man Qiaofei seems to have something to do with them taking a fancy to her talent and… she is…"
"As for the ultimate goal of kidnapping the two of them, it's still unclear for the time being."
At this point, everything in this matter was more or less clear.
But just as Yang Song thought that this was the end, Xiang Qingsu unexpectedly added, "And after the interrogation this time, we have a major discovery."
After a slight pause, she continued, "This Carefree League is very likely to have collusion with the abyssal demons! Their last actions all had happened when abyssal demons appeared."
Yang Song frowned when he heard the words, and what Xiang Qingsu said coincided with Li Wanjing's previous guesses.
This Carefree League, from this point of view, had a large background and a large picture.
However, no matter how big it was, touching the people around him again and again was simply looking for death!
Yang Song was like this not because of anything else, but because Man Liang had saved his life once.
The life-saving grace was simply not something Yang Song could ignore.
At the end of the call, Yang Song said coldly, "I don't care what kind of background that Carefree League has. Since they dare to provoke someone on my side, sooner or later, I have to settle this account with them. If your guild has news about them in the future, you must let me know as soon as possible."
"By the way, the so-called mysterious organization in your mouth is called 'Zero Green District Base'."
Xiang Qingsu went silent instantly as if she was pleasantly surprised by Yang Song's words.
For one, in that way, wouldn't there be a channel for long-term contact between Ability Guild and this senior?
This was a very good thing.
As for the second, it was also something that Xiang Qingsu was shocked at. And it was also a good thing for her.
The most important thing was that Three Stars Masters, as the top powerhouses in the country, had gone to an unknown plane via that spatial crack fifty years ago and had not returned yet.
Today, the five major organizations of C Country were all in a vacuum of top-level combat power.
At this time, making friends with top powerhouses like Yang Song was very important and crucial for the Ability Guild.
"Yes, senior, we will notify you as soon as possible if we have news."
The phone was hung up after that.
With that, Yang Song left Li Wanjing's place and went back to Tong City, White Dragon Abode.
…
White Dragon Abode.
Yang Song pulled out the twenty A-rank Inner Cores of the abyssal demons given by Xiang Qingsu and rested them down on the flat ground in front of him.
If ordinary people saw these colorful marbles, they would only think that they were beautiful and should be a group of expensive treasures.
But to Yang Song, these marbles were very precious to him.
He could feel the dense Spiritual Energy inside these marbles and the purity of it too.
Compared to the Spirit Crystal Yang Song found last time, these Inner Cores were simply a whole level better.
So, without waiting any longer, Yang Song quickly adjusted his breath and closed his eyes, and began to cultivate.
A suction force appeared on Yang Song's body, and a steady stream of high-quality Spiritual Energy flowed out smoothly from those A-rank Inner Cores.
Feeling the high purity of these Inner Cores and the speed of his cultivation, Yang Song was pleasantly surprised.
As long as he continued to cultivate with these Inner Cores and as long as Yang Song had more Inner Cores, he was confident that he would be able to reach the Core Formation Realm in advance.
