Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1013 - 1010: I Won’t Talk Even If You Beat Me to Death!
"Not hitting the face when fighting, that’s a rule that’s been unchangeable since the beginning of time. How can you guys be even more barbaric than the Barbarians, not following the rules at all?"
Kong Kong’er, seeing that Ximen Qingxue finally stopped, covered his swollen face and wailed.
Maybe because he was too emotional, speaking caused his facial wounds to hurt, making him grimace and howl in pain.
"Oh no, my handsome and elegant face, it’s going to be ruined!"
"Tch, with that pancake face of yours, bigger than my foot basin, and you call that handsome and elegant, pfft!"
Ximen Qingxue snorted angrily, spitting fiercely on the ground to express her anger.
Kong Kong’er glanced at Ximen Qingxue and said, "Jealousy, jealousy, pure jealousy!"
"With a fiery temper like yours, fiercer than my Sky-shattering Bomb, no man will want you in the future!"
Upon hearing a short guy daring to say no man would want her, Ximen Qingxue was immediately filled with rage again, raising her leg to kick.
However, she was stopped by Li Chen who walked over.
"Alright, Qingxue, stop for a moment, I have a couple of questions to ask him!"
Even though Ximen Qingxue was usually arrogant and willful, in front of Li Chen, she was like the well-behaved girl next door.
She just said "Oh" and took two steps back, making way for Li Chen.
Li Chen scrutinized Kong Kong’er again and asked, "Kong Kong’er, let me ask you, who instructed you to come and seize my Soul Summoning Grass?"
Kong Kong’er widened his eyes, hands on hips, and said righteously, "As the saying goes ’even thieves have principles’, under no circumstances can we reveal even a bit of our employer’s information, that’s the rule of our trade. I, Kong Kong’er, being a Master Thief, naturally cannot lead in breaking the rules!"
Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, even if you kill me, I won’t ruin my reputation as the Master Thief!"
Kong Kong’er said and took on an attitude of "fearless and willing to sacrifice himself."
Li Chen didn’t say anything, just stared at Kong Kong’er with a sly smile.
Kong Kong’er was creeped out by Li Chen’s stare, instinctively avoiding his gaze, and shouted, "Li Chen, since I, Kong Kong’er, fell into your hands today, do whatever you will with me. But don’t expect to get any information about my employer from me!"
Li Chen smiled and shouted to Ximen Qingxue.
"Qingxue!"
Ximen Qingxue understood, lightly lifting her long, beautiful leg.
Kong Kong’er was so scared he shivered all over, shouting loudly.
"You can kill me but you can’t humiliate me. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t say it’s Heng Mountain Ancestor who sent me to grab the Soul Summoning Grass..."
Having shouted all that, Kong Kong’er realized he blurted it out, and instinctively covered his mouth with his hand.
Seeing this ridiculous scene, Ximen Qingxue, Little Demon Immortal, and Lian Hongshang all covered their mouths and giggled.
Originally, they thought they would need some tactics to get Kong Kong’er to talk.
Unexpectedly, Kong Kong’er confessed so simply and neatly.
Li Chen’s expression turned slightly grave.
Though he had some feuds with Heng Mountain Ancestor, why did he want to seize the Soul Summoning Grass? Is it simply to ruin his plans, or does he also need this Soul Summoning Grass?
After mulling it over for a moment, Li Chen turned his gaze back to Kong Kong’er.
"Kong Kong’er, do you know what Heng Mountain Old Monster wants the Soul Summoning Grass for?"
Kong Kong’er maintained his righteous demeanor and shouted, "You can kill me but you can’t humiliate me. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t say, Heng Mountain Ancestor made a trade with the Barbarian priests!"
Li Chen was astonished upon hearing this and eagerly asked, "What trade?"
This time, Kong Kong’er didn’t hang "You can kill me but you can’t humiliate me" on his lips, instead, he succinctly replied with three words.
"I don’t know!"
Li Chen looked at him for a while, confirming he truly didn’t know, and withdrew his gaze, changing the question.
"Did Heng Mountain Ancestor and his group also come to this Netherworld Crossing, where are they now?"
Kong Kong’er again assumed a righteous demeanor and said, "You can kill me but you can’t humiliate me, even if you kill me, I won’t say, Heng Mountain Ancestor, Baili Xiang, Evil Scholar, Bloodthirsty Monk, and three Barbarian masters, all seven of them have already arrived at Netherworld Crossing and are currently waiting at Yin Yang Slope!"
Seeing Kong Kong’er being so forthcoming, not only revealing the current location of Heng Mountain Ancestor but also detailing their number of masters and names as if spilling beans from a basket.
Li Chen’s lips immediately curled into a satisfied smile. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Chen, what should we do now, should we avoid them and take a detour back?"
Lian Hongshang frowned slightly and stepped up to suggest.
She had seen Heng Mountain Ancestor’s Divine Skills at Tianmang Mountain, and his three subordinates, Baili Xiang, Evil Scholar, and Bloodthirsty Monk, were top experts of the Demon Sect.
Moreover, those three Barbarian masters, daring to follow Heng Mountain Ancestor deep into this Netherworld Crossing, must not be ordinary.
Such a lineup, with just the four of them, would be hard to handle.
Besides, they had just experienced a fierce battle at the River of Oblivion, their True Yuan greatly depleted.
Li Chen didn’t directly respond to Lian Hongshang’s suggestion but slightly squinted his eyes, gazing at the eerie forest ahead.
"We can’t avoid it, they’re already here!"
As expected, before Li Chen’s words had faded, seven violent auras burst through the sky.
"Immortal Master Li, how have you been? I didn’t expect to meet again here after parting at Tianmang Mountain!"
The speaker, or rather, it was a chair.
He was the renowned in Jiuzhou, Demon Sect Leader: Heng Mountain Unoccupied Seat!
On his left were Baili Xiang, Evil Scholar, Bloodthirsty Monk, and on the right were three Barbarian masters. One of them was an old face, who had once followed Heng Mountain Ancestor to Tianmang Mountain, Sha Moke.
Seeing Heng Mountain Ancestor and his group suddenly arrive, Little Demon Immortal, Lian Hongshang, and Ximen Qingxue all had their expressions turn serious, quickly moving closer to Li Chen, drawing their swords in caution.
In contrast, Li Chen’s expression remained relaxed and composed, his gaze direct at Heng Mountain Ancestor, and solemnly asked:
"Heng Mountain Old Monster, what are you doing here?"
Heng Mountain Ancestor didn’t directly respond to Li Chen’s question but looked at Kong Kong’er, who lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, and mockingly laughed:
"Kong Kong’er, didn’t you claim to be the Master Thief, saying that as long as you took the job, success was guaranteed, never failing? How did you fail this time?"
Hearing Heng Mountain Ancestor’s mockery, Kong Kong’er’s old face flushed and said, "It is unfailing indeed, I have acted 10,000 times without fail, but this time is the 10,001st time, this failure was purely accidental, it’s fate."
"I, Kong Kong’er, may be the Master Thief, but I am just a person, not a god, so naturally, I can’t defy fate. What do you all say?"
Kong Kong’er stretched his neck, putting on a big face and shouted a rant. He even deliberately posed a "fate decided, blame me?" innocent expression.
Seeing such a scene, Ximen Qingxue, Little Demon Immortal, and Lian Hongshang all had a face full of embarrassment.
From their birth until now, they had seen many shameless people.
But someone like Kong Kong’er was indeed unheard of.
Borrowing Zhuge Liang’s words to scold Wang Situ: I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you!
Hidden within the chair, Heng Mountain Ancestor’s expression change couldn’t be seen.
Presumably, at this time, his expression was as dark and terrifying.
After a dead silence, the two Barbarian masters suddenly spoke, addressing Heng Mountain Ancestor, muttering a bunch of Barbarian language.
