C477 Killing Intent
Seeing that Celestial Craftsman didn't change his mind even after being beaten up by him, Soul snatching Scholar's heart was slightly shaken. After a moment of silence, he slowly looked at Celestial Craftsman. The feeling of a top assassin told him... Celestial Craftsman wasn't lying. The Bronze Dragon Head really did come from his hands. It had been stolen by Lee Sheying.
After making a big detour, Soul snatching Scholar still needed to find the Lee family to find the Bronze Dragon Head.
Although he knew that Celestial Craftsman didn't have the Bronze Dragon Head with him, Soul snatching Scholar wouldn't let him go so easily.
A cold smile appeared on Soul snatching Scholar's face, and he said faintly, "Celestial Craftsman, since we are old friends, I can spare your father and son. But you have to answer a question of mine honestly. I can consider letting you go."
Celestial Craftsman had already lost all hope. He felt that he would definitely die in Soul snatching Scholar's hands today. When he heard this, he could not help but be overjoyed. He quickly said, "Excuse me, may I ask? As long as I know, I will tell you everything I know."
Soul snatching Scholar didn't pay any attention to Celestial Craftsman's flattering tone. He didn't even look at Celestial Craftsman again. He casually picked up a small antique on the table and played with it. He said softly, "The Bronze Dragon Head itself is an antique. It does not have much value. The reason it is so important is because it is related to a big treasure. Since you copied the Bronze Dragon Head, you should know... The clues to its hidden treasure."
"This..."
Celestial Craftsman was silent for a moment. He now understood what Soul snatching Scholar meant.
In this world, there was no one who did not love money. As an assassin, Soul snatching Scholar had always lived a dangerous life of licking the tip of a knife. What did he want? He just wanted money.
Therefore, Soul snatching Scholar had long coveted the Treasure of the Old Summer Palace. If he could obtain clues about the Treasure of the Old Summer Palace from Celestial Craftsman... What kind of killer was he? Finding the treasure, leaving the Killing Sect and living in seclusion, becoming a billionaire was the right thing to do.
"There are indeed clues about the treasure on the Bronze Dragon Head."
Celestial Craftsman said in a deep voice.
"Really?"
Soul snatching Scholar was excited.
"Yes, yes, but I don't know what to say. I have photos. You can take a look yourself."
Celestial Craftsman shrugged and felt helpless. He turned around and took out a high-definition digital camera from the cabinet. He showed Soul snatching Scholar a few photos on it.
The photos were all about the time when Celestial Craftsman wanted to imitate the Bronze Dragon Head. One of the photos could be clearly seen. In the mouth of the Bronze Dragon Head, there was a line of English words carved by a small knife on its tongue.
Although Soul snatching Scholar spent most of his time overseas, his English was very poor. He took the picture and looked at it for a while. He realized that he could not understand it. He stared at Celestial Craftsman and asked, "What is written on it?"
"This is the location of the treasure, but it is written in a very obscure way. The general meaning is that one must be the heir of the Paul family and bring the Bronze Dragon Head to a place called Silver Fish Island. Only then can one find the treasure."
"Silver Fish Island? What is this place? Why is it carrying the Bronze Dragon Head? And you even want the heirs of the Paul family? Isn't this just nonsense?"
After knowing the secret signal of the treasure, Soul snatching Scholar became even more confused.
"I have never heard of this place before. However, since it had a name, it shouldn't be difficult to find this place. As for why the descendants of the Paul family have to bring the Bronze Dragon Head, I can guess the reason. This treasure trove must be located in an extremely hidden place. There must be a mechanism behind it. If you want to enter, you must obtain the blood of the Paul family's descendants and that Bronze Dragon Head."
Celestial Craftsman guessed.
"According to what you said, I have to find the Bronze Dragon Head in order to find this treasure."
Soul snatching Scholar darted a glance at Celestial Craftsman. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and killing intent emerged in his eyes.
Although Celestial Craftsman did not know martial arts, he was not a fool. Knowing that Soul snatching Scholar wanted to kill him, he hurriedly said, "That may not be the case. We can find Silver Fish Island first and see if the treasure is really hidden there. As for the mechanism there, I am after all the world's number one craftsman. Breaking the mechanism is my specialty. Perhaps, I can break the mechanism... We don't need the Bronze Dragon Head to obtain the treasure. "
When Celestial Craftsman said this, Soul snatching Scholar was slightly moved. He looked at Celestial Craftsman with a cold smile and said, "If that's the case, I won't be able to kill you."
"Yeah, I am a very useful person. Silver Fish Island could be a small island or a big island. The treasure trove might be hidden in a very secluded place. Bring me there. Not only can you break the mechanism there, most importantly, I can also help you find the treasure location. After all, I'm also very proficient in Feng Shui, geomancy, geomancy, and other strange skills. "
Celestial Craftsman continued to talk about his strengths, wanting Soul snatching Scholar to spare his life.
"Humph, the greatest craftsman in the world. That's right, you are indeed the greatest craftsman in the world."
Soul snatching Scholar's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a ferocious smile, "But, I also know that you are the number one old fox in the world. I really want to bring you to find the treasure, but you are so crafty. I am worried. If I accidentally let you run away, then I will never be able to sleep or eat in peace for the rest of my life. So, if I want to go first, I'll kill you. In order to avoid future troubles. As for the treasure, I'm going to look for it myself. However, in order to repay you, you can choose to let me kill you first. Or kill your son first."2
" Soul snatching Scholar, you don't keep your word. If you kill me, you will never find the treasure! "
Celestial Craftsman became anxious. He did not expect that after talking for so long, Soul snatching Scholar would still kill him and his son. Soul snatching Scholar's killing intent was very heavy. Furthermore, he was a cautious person and did not like to leave behind future troubles.
"Credit? How much is a word worth? I feel that a word isn't as important as my life."
Soul snatching Scholar laughed strangely. He reached out his hand and picked Xiaonan up. He said to Celestial Craftsman, "Choose. Will you die first, or will your son die first?"
"Bastard! Someone come! Someone come and stop this bastard!"
Celestial Craftsman knew that he had no more time to chat with Soul snatching Scholar. He was in a desperate situation. He could only shout with all his might. After all, this was his territory. Although Soul snatching Scholar had knocked down quite a number of guards when he came in, however, there must be some other guards in the manor. If they all swarmed him... Celestial Craftsman would at least have a chance to catch his breath. If he could take the opportunity to enter the secret passage... With the help of the fatal mechanism inside, Soul snatching Scholar couldn't do anything to him.
However, after Celestial Craftsman shouted for a long time, not a single guard came over. The entire manor was silent, there wasn't a single sound.
This time, Celestial Craftsman's facial expression changed completely. He pointed at Soul snatching Scholar with trembling fingers and asked, "What did you do? Where are the people in my manor?"
Soul snatching Scholar laughed and mocked, "You are so smart. Don't tell me you think I came alone?"
