Chapter 4974: Becoming Bait

Could he be the one? Ming s.h.i.+ asked since Shadowrider was a prime suspect.

I dont think so since I remembered something important. The schoolmaster shook his head.

What is it? Ming s.h.i.+ was heavily invested in this topic.

Long, long ago, someone named a high price at the black market for a helper. The price was high enough to make it memorable. The schoolmaster said.

A helper, for what? Ming s.h.i.+ said.

Theres a reason why it was asked at the black market, very secretive. The partic.i.p.ating members were interested in it but it didnt last for too long. The schoolmaster said.

Why? She didnt know about this black market at all.

Because someone had accepted the job. Yunyun explained.

Yes, due to the insane requirement and reward, few could have actually accepted and completed it. There were a few candidates with Shadowrider being one of them. The schoolmaster said.f???we??o?e?. ?o?

Because of his position, he had relations.h.i.+ps with cultivators from all over the world.

Maybe this was just a coincidence, but it is one clue to all the missing cultivators. Plus, Shadowrider is an expert in this matter as well. The schoolmaster said.

Lets go find this Shadowrider then. Li Qiye smiled.

How? Yunyun asked.

This a.s.sa.s.sin is impossible to find, no one knows what this person looks like either. Ming s.h.i.+ nodded.

Rumor has it that this a.s.sa.s.sin came from an ancient organization. Others thought that the person was fortunate enough to obtain an immemorial legacy, becoming a master without needing guidance.

There are two ways to find Shadowrider. The schoolmaster said.

Go on. Yunyun asked right away. This might be the only clue to finding her ancestor.

Lets pretend that there is only one person in the lower continents who knows Shadowriders whereabouts, this person would be Wild Dragon. He said.

Wild Dragon? They a.s.sociate with each other? Ming s.h.i.+ asked.

Its just a guess stemming from a popular belief. The schoolmaster shook his head.

A popular belief? Yunyun didnt understand.

Yes, that Wild Dragon doesnt dare to provoke Shadowrider, a way to envision how frightening this a.s.sa.s.sin is. The schoolmaster said.

This implies that Wild Dragon knows where to find Shadowrider. Li Qiye smiled.

Exactly. The schoolmaster nodded.

Wild Dragon Yunyun couldnt help staring at Li Qiye.

Alas, the villain had escaped back to the serpent throne after being pierced by Azhuis flames. They would need to enter the Ten Mountains of Demon in order to find him. Plus, would a six-fruit dragon lord speak to them?

I dont think Wild Dragon will reveal anything if the rumor about not wanting to provoke Shadowrider is true. Ming s.h.i.+ said.

Is there no other way? Yunyun became disappointed.

The other method is to hire Shadowrider to kill. As long as there is money, this a.s.sa.s.sin will show up. The schoolmaster said.

This isnt a joke, Shadowrider doesnt fail. Ming s.h.i.+ said.

Right, we might be playing with fire. Yunyun agreed.

A bit interesting. Li Qiye stroked his chin and smiled at the schoolmaster: You can hire him to kill me.

Are you crazy? You wont even realize your last seconds, Shadowrider is the ultimate a.s.sa.s.sin. Ming s.h.i.+ became startled. Only a madman would hire such an effective killer in this manner.

Its too risky. Yunyun disagreed as well.

The schoolmaster also shook his head: This isnt a good idea. From my estimation, Shadowrider can a.s.sa.s.sinate a six-fruit dragon lord or a four-fruit conqueror.

It would be fun to gather all Ten Monsters, no? Li Qiye smirked.

Yunyun didnt know what to say. Li Qiye had killed four of them while Demoness had offered her service.

The only ones left were Flame-eater Child, Shadowrider, Wild Dragon, and Bloodsea Blade. Of course, Bloodsea was not on the list of targets.

Its too dangerous, I dont want to trouble you over my own matter. Yunyun still refused.

In fact, she thought that he could actually kill Wild Dragon in a direct battle. The same couldnt be said about the elusive Shadowrider.

Yes, dont gamble with your life, there must be another way. Ming s.h.i.+ said.

Im not doing this for you, Im merely interested and want to investigate. Li Qiye shook his head.

Investigate what? Ming s.h.i.+ asked.

Say, you have just hunted a deer, how will you cook it? Li Qiye asked.

There are many ways, roast, boil, steam, cure the meat Ming s.h.i.+ reluctantly answered.

When you were a baby, did you know how to answer this question? He asked another question.

What are you talking about? She became confused.

Lets put it this way, Ill give you a dragon lord. Do you know how to eat him and why? Li Qiye smiled.

Thats disgusting. She instantly responded.

What do you think happened to those missing dragon lords and conquerors? Were they killed just for their treasures? Who would take such a risk over some treasures? Li Qiye smiled.

They got eaten? She became creeped out.

The stronger the cultivators, the more delicious and nutritious. Of course, you have to know how to eat first. Otherwise, it would just be a waste. Li Qiye said.

Young n.o.ble, there is a proper method behind this madness? Maybe an ancient evil art pa.s.sed down from long ago? Yunyun shuddered.

Hmm The schoolmaster agreed. He himself didnt know the right way to eat a dragon lord. It couldnt be as simple as just boiling or stewing.
