Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 58: Revised - Decision

Bai Ziyue’s heart tightened, then he said in an icy tone, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell my master what you’re doing?"

"That’s why I came directly to you. As long as you hand over the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, I can let bygones be bygones.

If not, who knows what I might do?"

Wu Hao exuded a fearless demeanor.

Over the past few days, he had thoroughly investigated that although Liu Dong had taken Bai Ziyue as his disciple, he was, after all, the Sect Leader and was too busy to offer much guidance.

It could be said that Liu Dong did not pay much attention to Bai Ziyue as a disciple.

This was also why he dared to meet Bai Ziyue face-to-face.

As long as he didn’t directly kill the other person, he believed Liu Dong wouldn’t care too much.

As for offending Bai Ziyue? He didn’t care. Given the other’s age, no matter how great his talent or potential, it would take at least several years to grow to a level that threatened him.

A lot could happen in several years.

Thinking of this, a cold light flickered again in Wu Hao’s eyes.

After this disturbance passed, he naturally had his opportunities.

No one would care about a prematurely fallen genius.

"I can return the pendant to you, but it’s not on me now."

Bai Ziyue quickly thought of a solution, his face showing a troubled expression.

The round jade had already shattered, so he naturally couldn’t produce it.

But he must first stabilize the other party.

After all, according to Wu Hao’s tone, Li Ergou was still in his grip.

Of course, stabilizing the other party didn’t mean he intended to compromise.

From the moment the other party used his parents as leverage, their conflict was already at an irreconcilable state. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Even if the other was only issuing verbal threats, he dared not gamble.

*Faced with an Evil Cultivator who nearly had no bottom line and could manipulate spirits to harm others, there’s nothing they couldn’t do.*

*Although he had transmigrated here, just thinking of his father Bai Yong traveling tens of miles to invite Uncle Ming to exorcise a ghost out of concern and the heavy emotion when his mother handed him three silver coins, he had made up his mind to resolve this issue, to prevent the threat from looming over them.*

And the resolution, in his view, was singular.

*Even if he wasn’t wholly confident of victory, he still decided to give it a try.*

"Then where is it?"

Wu Hao’s heart tightened, and he spoke with a fierce glare.

"That jade pendant, after all, fell from a female ghost. I was afraid it might be cursed, so I buried it directly."

Bai Ziyue put on a cautious expression as he spoke.

"Buried? Buried where?"

Wu Hao looked at him in surprise and quickly asked.

"Buried in..." Bai Ziyue began to say, then shifted his tone to a slightly dissatisfied one, "I said I would return it to you, and I will. But first, I need to see Li Ergou returned safely.

When that time comes, I’ll naturally retrieve the pendant and give it back to you."

"I doubt you’d dare play any tricks."

Taking a deep look at Bai Ziyue, Wu Hao said coldly, "Tonight, Li Ergou will safely return to the Ming Pearl Restaurant."

"Where should I return the pendant to you?"

Bai Ziyue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and then asked somewhat nervously.

"Tomorrow evening, at the South Street Liugang Temple, I’ll be waiting for you there.

However, I hope our affair remains between us. No one else should know, including your master. Otherwise, even if you show up, I won’t make an appearance.

Afterward, I can’t guarantee what might happen."

Wu Hao first provided an address, then sternly warned as if suddenly remembering something.

"Rest... Rest assured... I won’t tell anyone..."

Bai Ziyue feigned a frightened look and stammered.

After giving Bai Ziyue another deep look, Wu Hao nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.

"Tomorrow..."

Bai Ziyue clenched his fists tightly.

He was not one to cause trouble, but since it was unavoidable, he certainly wouldn’t back down.

*Wu Hao had threatened him with his parents’ safety, thus touching upon his deepest vulnerability.*

"South Street Liugang Temple seems to be at the very edge of Qinghe Town, a deserted place. Rumor has it that many years ago, a significant event took place there, and the previous guardian reportedly died in that spot?

Did Wu Hao choose this location with ulterior motives?"

Bai Ziyue pondered silently and soon headed toward the front courtyard of the Sunburst Gang.

Upon reflection, he decided to inform his master of the situation.

As for the other’s warning, he didn’t take it to heart.

Since he planned to kill the opponent, he didn’t care about the means.

Though his own strength had reached the External Forging Bone Level, Wu Hao had cultivated an Immortal Technique, mastered magic, could command spirits, and had unpredictable methods; he wasn’t entirely confident.

If he could leverage his master’s power, why take action himself?

Doing so could even place himself in a perilous situation.

But upon finding Senior Brother Liu Heng, his words immediately made Bai Ziyue’s heart sink.

"A Golden Armor Beast was discovered in the Wolf Horn Mine, and the Sect Leader headed there early this morning. Is something troubling you, Junior Brother Bai?"

Senior Brother Liu Heng asked curiously.

"No, no problem."

Bai Ziyue shook his head and had to leave.

He was aware the Wolf Horn Mine was nearly a hundred miles north of Qinghe Town. The mountain road was treacherous, requiring two days for a round trip.

By the time his master returned, it would be too late.

"Seems like this time, it really is up to me alone."

Bai Ziyue furrowed his brows. Though a fleeting thought of Uncle Ming crossed his mind, he dismissed it.

This instance was unlike the previous one, where his cousin encountered a ghost. With Uncle Ming’s abilities, it could easily be handled.

But this time, while Wu Hao’s power might not be overwhelming and certainly incomparable to Uncle Ming’s at the Inner Cultivation Level, behind him stood the formidable Daoist Wutong.

Daoist Wutong, having a prestigious status, likely had skill comparable to or exceeding his master Liu Dong.

Should the intervention go awry, it would create monumental trouble for Uncle Ming.

Since Uncle Ming had aided him in the past, Bai Ziyue naturally didn’t wish to involve him in such danger.

Moreover, even seeking him out might not guarantee his willingness to help... Bai Ziyue recalled the awkwardness when Sunx Neng refused assistance, which he did not want to repeat.

"Since I’ve decided to act on my own, I must be thoroughly prepared."

Bai Ziyue quickly contemplated his strategies in his mind.

"I have reached the External Forging Bone Level in the Martial Arts Realm, achieved the Great Success Level with the One-character Punch, and attained the Small Success Level in Eighteen Linked Blades... Such strength shouldn’t be weak within the Sunburst Gang..."

Bai Ziyue had once witnessed his master at the External Forging Bone Level perform Martial Arts; their powers were similar. With this comparison, he believed his combat strength was adequate.

At least if he encountered Liu the Sixth again, he could easily cut him down without effort.

"But..."

Bai Ziyue mused quietly.
