He was afraid Jiang Chen would do something unexpected again.
Yang Chuan quickly got straight to the point. "You want level-two Netherworld information access as payment for this mission?"
"Additional payment," Jiang Chen corrected him.
"..."
Yang Chuan fell silent for a moment. "Are you certain the one you encountered that night was the Knocking Old Man who attacked the Xunhe City branch office?"
The Knocking Old Man was no ordinary Fierce Soul, but an A+.
Even a single Soul Fragment of his was far harder to deal with than an ordinary Blood-Clad Ghost!
Yang Chuan judged that unless someone of his own caliber intervened, an ordinary Grandmaster would have a hard time stopping the other party from escaping.
"I'm not too sure." Jiang Chen's answer was unexpected. "I heard him call himself... some Wang or other. Who knows, maybe he was an Incarnation of Old Wang next door. Sigh, what exactly did he say? Once you get past twenty, your memory really starts going..."
He patted his head, looking frustrated. His acting was so superb that if everyone hadn't known everything beforehand, they might actually have believed him.
What the hell do you mean, your memory starts going at twenty?!
Ghost Qi +999! Ghost Qi +3000!

Yang Chuan fell silent again for a while, studying Jiang Chen closely.
When his gaze met Jiang Chen's faintly smiling eyes,
his expression suddenly froze.
A terrifying image resurfaced in his mind: a vast, gaping maw blotted out the sky, turning the entire firmament scarlet.
It seemed to herald a terrifying catastrophe, with an endless aura of ill omen spreading everywhere.
Only then did Yang Chuan realize.
The young man before him had escaped from that Young Ba. More precisely, he had used some means to frighten the Young Ba
