Chapter 124: Chapter 123: The Hunter’s Thirst for Blood (23)_1

Fu Qian made his way forward, rapidly sorting through the current information in his mind.

He was now highly suspicious of a person—Deng Feizhou.

The entire incident had been characterized as a conspiracy by Chen Mingda and the Native Council.

The accepted storyline was that, in order to compensate for innate deficiencies, Chen Mingda had no qualms about collaborating with the Native Council to help them obtain Thorn Blood.

In return, the Native Council helped Chen Mingda break through his bottlenecks.

To achieve their goal, they targeted Henrik and eventually devised a scheme to control his mind, stealing the Thorn Blood out.

...
Their original plan, undoubtedly, was to make it appear that Henrik had been contaminated by a Demigod corpse and stole the Thorn Blood.

Then to control him to go on a killing spree, becoming a monster that ate human brains, and to be eliminated at the right moment, bringing the whole affair to an end.

However, their plan became complicated by an unforeseen variable; they hadn’t anticipated someone would break into the Night Watchmen Base while everything was proceeding according to plan.

And a situation spiraling out of control was definitely not something they wished to see.

So they quickly began investigating the matter, and because of his performance at the banquet, he entered their field of vision.

This was also why Wen Li was being followed.

Later, Chen Mingda, under the pretext of paying a visit, came to Wen Li’s home to probe him.

Then there was the strange game, an attempt to test and control him that failed, culminating in their loss of a puppet.

The next day, Wen Li took him to Deng Feizhou’s house, and he deliberately fabricated the issue with Yuan Shan, only for Henrik to show up shortly after they’d left.

The timing was too coincidental, giving every reason to believe that Henrik was there to silence him.

And only Deng Feizhou knew that he was going to look for Yuan Shan.

Afterwards, under the influence of the Tyrant’s Fist, Henrik seemed to regain some of his senses, and Deng appeared timely, seemingly to help, but ultimately let him go.

In any case, this Mr. Deng was quite suspicious.

Fu Qian quickly arrived at his destination—Deng Feizhou’s residence.

He mimicked Wen Li and pressed the doorbell.

After a minute, the door opened from the inside, Deng Feizhou looking at Fu Qian expressionlessly.

“Mr. Fang, why have you come alone? Where is Wen Li?”

“Please don’t worry, she’s now in a safe place.”

“As for why I came, it’s simple…”

Fu Qian blinked.

“I want to make a deal with you.”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

Deng Feizhou’s tone didn’t fluctuate, though his gaze inadvertently glanced behind Fu Qian.

“Relax, there are no Night Watchmen behind me.”

Fu Qian squeezed directly through the open door.

The next moment, the sound of wind came from behind.

Without hesitation, Fu Qian raised his hand, and the tentacles forming the Biochemical Demon Arm lashed out fiercely.

“You…”

The forces collided, and Deng Feizhou staggered back several steps, looking at Fu Qian’s arm in astonishment.

There was indeed a problem.

Having confirmed his suspicions, Fu Qian looked at Deng Feizhou, who had attempted to ambush him, with a smile.

“Why the hurry, why not listen to the terms of the deal first?”

“As you can see, I’m facing some difficulties.”

Fu Qian deliberately controlled his arm, allowing it to slowly revert to its original form.

“I’ve tried many methods, but the results weren’t very satisfactory, so I want to make a deal with you.”

Deng Feizhou watched the tentacles on Fu Qian’s arm, saying nothing.

“A deal similar to the one with Chen Mingda.”

Fu Qian added another sentence.

“Can we sit down and talk about it now?”

“I must say, you’ve brought me quite a few surprises.”

After staring at Fu Qian for a long time, Deng Feizhou finally spoke.

“Do young people nowadays enjoy hiding their strength so much?”

“It’s always better to stay low-key.”

“Chen Mingda is but a low-phase Transcendent, while you are at least Fourth Phase. Don’t tell me you want me to help you become a Demigod?”

“Is that not possible?”

“I’m an outsider when it comes to the affairs in Shangjing. Do you know the benefit of being an outsider?”

“It’s that one can analyze the situation more objectively and comprehensively.”

“For example, no matter the conspiracy, there always has to be a beneficiary.”

And right now, in the whole theft incident, Henrik is dead, Chen Mingda is dead, and the Night Watchman’s items have been stolen.

The Native Council is undoubtedly the biggest winner.

And just now, I suddenly realized that there is actually another person who has gained a benefit.”

Fu Qian smiled.

“That would be Chen Xing.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Qian keenly noticed a flicker in Deng Feizhou’s eyes.

“It seems I’m not wrong, huh? For a man of great ambition, no sacrifice is too great. To rise to a Demigod, he even sacrificed his son.”

“Go on.”

“What a drama it’s been today.”

Fu Qian stroked his chin.

“An old Transcendent enduring the pain of losing his son, losing all hope, then experiencing an epiphany and breaking through years of shackles to become a Demigod.”

“What an exciting script, so much so that even the Night Watchmen were convinced. Was this part of the plan you devised with Chen Xing?

Chen Mingda probably had no idea he was just a sacrificial pawn until he died, huh?”

Fu Qian said this while looking thoughtfully at Deng Feizhou.

“However, I’m not interested in that. You just need to tell me what it would take to exchange for the method to become a Demigod.”

“So you really want to ascend to a Demigod?”

“The pursuit of ascension is every Transcendent’s duty, not a choice, it’s a duty.”

Ha ha ha!

Deng Feizhou was taken aback by Fu Qian’s reply but then suddenly burst out laughing.

“You’re quite impressive.”

“Good strength, and the right temperament too. However, it’s a pity that you’ve got something wrong.”

“What’s that?”

Fu Qian’s eyes lit up.

“The thing Henrik brought out is not the goal, but the means.”

“So that’s it… I understand now!”

Fu Qian’s face showed his realization.

“So the item isn’t what you’re after, it’s something used to help Chen Xing ascend?”

“That’s very strange then, even if you were willing to help for no reason, a trade that obviously has no benefit to you, Chen Xing would actually agree to it?”

“Because he had no choice. The Chen Family needed a Demigod, and it’s not as if I wanted nothing in return.”

“So, if you want to achieve the same goal, you need to offer something that’s interesting enough to me.”

The Thorn Blood actually has been consumed!

Fu Qian lamented in his heart.

But the fact that his mission was not yet a failure meant that there was still a chance.

Fu Qian thought for a moment.

“So you’re saying that now, not only do I need to propose a satisfactory offer to you, but I also have to find the material from a Demigod’s corpse at the Night Watchmen Base?”

“It’s not there anymore.”

Deng Feizhou shook his head.

“There was only that one portion in the Night Watchmen Base, so that method won’t work anymore.”

“Only one portion… Then I have a question?”

Fu Qian’s brow furrowed slightly before he suddenly slapped his forehead.

“Is it possible that I could kill Old Master Chen and take the item to have you help me ascend?”

…

Deng Feizhou was momentarily silent, clearly startled by Fu Qian’s off-the-wall thinking.

“Can I?”

Fu Qian looked forward expectantly.

Ha ha ha!

Deng Feizhou laughed loudly again.

“Sure, if you have the ability to kill a true Demigod.

The item will be released from his body again, and then you can bring it to me.”

This is the answer I was looking for.

Fu Qian sighed heavenward.
