Pang Su's venomous murmurs soon vanished into the Frog Immortal Lord's storage space.
Ren Qing rubbed the White Bone Prayer Beads, unable to help narrowing his eyes.
If Pang Su had spoken the truth, there might be nine corpses of Pang Su in Badu, each connected to one of the Nine Violent Deaths. But it all seemed far too coincidental.
"I've already refined the Hanging Buddha into a magical artifact, yet none of the other Pang Sus have come knocking. Even the second, the Starvation and Thirst Buddha, fell into my hands without the slightest effort."
"Why does this feel like an open scheme, with someone deliberately delivering the Nine Violent Deaths right before my eyes?"
Ren Qing sneered, then murmured, "Even if this is a feast laid with murderous intent, it seems I have no choice but to accept."
"If I miss the Nine Violent Deaths, who knows how long I'll have to wait for another chance to reach Profound Immortal through the Metamorphosis Immortal Art? An open scheme really does leave you with no way out."
As though sensing the fluctuations in Ren Qing's thoughts, the Heavenly Staff began tightening little by little.
Ren Qing's neck crackled, and his understanding of the Nine Violent Deaths deepened further. Western Regions Buddhism really was better at finding ways to kill oneself.
Ren Qing made no move to rise. He touched his index finger to his brow and instead reined in his aura.
"Quite a few of Badu's factions are probably watching the Prince's Residence. Since I've already pushed my bargain father into the spotlight, I shouldn't show myself rashly just yet."
With each breath the Frog Immortal Lord took, the Starvation and Thirst Buddha gradually dissolved.
Ren Qing noticed Ren Shanshi's expression turn ruthless as he strode toward the demons.
