Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 172

At this moment, after seeing where Luo Chen went, Shao Siming pretended to be Huang Banxian and swaggered towards the fortune-telling stall where she used to be, shouting loudly.

"Fortune telling and character analysis, no charge if inaccurate!"

But after Shao Siming shouted a few times, a figure began to carefully approach Huang Banxian's position. When the figure came in front of Shao Siming, Shao Siming gradually raised her head.

When the Lesser Master of Fate saw that the person who had come was the Greater Master of Fate, she pretended to be frightened, hurriedly stood up from her seat, and respectfully said to the Greater Master of Fate:

"Greetings, Grand Master of Fate!"

When the Grand Master of Fate saw that Huang Banxian hadn't shown any signs of the poison taking effect despite the passage of time, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. However, he maintained his usual indifference and said to Huang Banxian:

"No need to stay here and keep monitoring, come with me!"

Upon hearing Da Siming's words, Shao Siming assumed that Da Siming was going to take her to see Zhao Gao, and was immediately overjoyed. She quickly followed. Luo Chen, who was watching from the side, also began to observe closely after seeing that the other party had arrived. After seeing that Shao Siming had gone with the others, Luo Chen hurriedly walked out of the teahouse.

Now, after leading Shao Siming away, Da Siming quickened her pace, and Shao Siming, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, did not have any doubts and continued to follow closely.

After the Grand Master of Fate had completely led the Lesser Master of Fate to a very secluded place, he gradually stopped and, with his back to the Lesser Master of Fate, coldly said:

"arrive!"

"We've arrived? Lord High Priest?"

After saying this, Shao Siming looked at Da Siming's retreating figure with a puzzled expression, and a sense of unease began to creep into her heart; but right after Shao Siming finished speaking, Da Siming's icy voice rang out again:

"That's right! This is where you'll die!"

As soon as Da Siming finished speaking, she quickly turned around, and a large hand swiftly struck towards Shao Siming's face.

Shao Siming did not expect Da Siming to discover her identity so quickly. When Shao Siming saw Da Siming's palm coming towards her, she did not care about anything else and retreated her body backward.

After realizing her attack had missed, the High Priestess stopped what she was doing, her eyes turning coldly to the Lesser Priestess, and said to her:

"Who exactly are you? Why are you impersonating Huang Banxian and trying to infiltrate my Xishi clan!"

After realizing that her identity had been exposed, Shao Siming knew that there was no need for her to hide anymore. She wiped her face with her right hand, and her original appearance appeared before Da Siming.

But now, it was the Grand Master of Fate's turn to be shocked.

Looking at the Lesser Master of Fate before her, the Greater Master of Fate felt as if she were dreaming. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and exclaimed to the Lesser Master of Fate with delight:

"Am I dreaming? Shao Siming, you're still alive?"

After saying this, the High Priestess was about to walk over.

Just then, Luo Chen swiftly leaped in front of Shao Siming. Upon seeing Luo Chen, Shao Siming said to him with a guilty expression:

"I'm sorry, Master, my mission has failed!"

Upon seeing Luo Chen, the Grand Master of Fate stopped and stared at him warily. He was especially shocked when he heard the Young Master of Fate address Luo Chen as "master," and then turned to Luo Chen with a furious expression, demanding an explanation:

"What kind of magic did you use on Shao Siming! Release Shao Siming at once!"

Upon hearing Da Siming's words, Luo Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter, and said to Da Siming:

"I didn't use any magic; it was all of Shao Siming's own free will!"

The Grand Master of Fate acted as if she hadn't heard Luo Chen's words, continuing to shout loudly at the Lesser Master of Fate:

"Shao Siming, how are you? Come here quickly!"

Just as Da Siming shouted this, Luo Chen's eyes also revealed a fierce look, and he directly struck Da Siming with a palm.

Completely focused on Shao Siming, Da Siming was oblivious to Luo Chen's palm strike. When the palm hit him, Da Siming screamed and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted from Da Siming's mouth. After striking out with this palm, Luo Chen did not use his full strength, only injuring Da Siming. After all, he still needed to rely on him to find Zhao Gao's hiding place.

All that could be seen was Da Siming clutching his chest in agony with his right hand, struggling to sit up from the ground. As he saw Luo Chen walking towards him step by step, a look of madness gradually appeared in Da Siming's eyes.

"Ha ha"

After laughing a few times, the High Priestess suddenly took out several slender silver needles from her clothes and shouted loudly at Luo Chen:

"I want your life!"

At this moment, upon seeing the silver needles in the hands of the Grand Master of Fate, the Lesser Master of Fate seemed to sense something and hurriedly shouted loudly to Luo Chen:

"Master, stop him immediately!"

Chapter 428 The Sorrow of the Great Fate

Just as the High Priestess finished speaking, the silver needle that was originally in her hand suddenly plunged into the top of her head.

"boom!"

A powerful aura emanated from Da Siming's body. Although Da Siming appeared to be severely injured, the moment the silver needle was inserted into his head, it was as if his body had already healed, and he slowly stood up from the ground.

When Da Siming saw Luo Chen walking towards him, he gradually smiled and struck out with his palm towards Luo Chen.

A flame seemed to suddenly spring from Da Siming's hand, and the huge fireball crashed directly towards Luo Chen. Upon seeing this, Shao Siming quickly shielded Luo Chen with her body, trying to take the hit for him.

As the fireball approached, Luo Chen saw Shao Siming shield her with her body. On a whim, she pulled Shao Siming aside, and then Luo Chen's figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Boom!"

The enormous fireball struck the ground directly, and Luo Chen, who had dodged it, gently lowered Shao Siming from his arms, saying to her without any concern:

"I'm fine, just focus on taking care of yourself!"

After saying this, Luo Chen's body shot towards Da Siming like an arrow.

With his greatly increased power, Da Siming's worries eased when he saw that Luo Chen hadn't used Shao Siming as a shield, and he focused all his energy on attacking Luo Chen.

All that could be seen was that Da Siming quickly threw a punch at Luo Chen's chest, and flames were even occasionally emerging from Da Siming's fist.

Upon seeing the punch about to strike his chest, Luo Chen immediately countered with his right hand.

"Boom"

The two fists collided, and the flames on Da Siming's fist dissipated as if they had encountered a gale. After exchanging blows with Luo Chen, Da Siming was sent flying backward.

After rubbing the ground beneath her feet for a long time, Da Siming finally came to a stop. Looking at the trenches she had left behind, Da Siming was filled with dread.

"My skills have improved so much, but why can't I still beat him!"

Looking at his swollen fists, Da Siming shook them a few times before roaring again and rapidly forming hand seals in front of him.

Gradually, the movements of Da Siming's hands became increasingly erratic, almost impossible to discern with the naked eye. Sweat poured down Da Siming's forehead, and a slight smile began to appear on his face.

After noticing the unusual behavior of the Grand Master of Fate, Luo Chen quietly began to observe as well.

At this moment, a gust of wind swept out from behind the Great Master of Fate, causing all the leaves around to spin rapidly in the air. When the leaves touched the tree trunks, they scratched shallow marks on the surrounding trees.

When Luo Chen saw this, he understood what was going on and carefully observed the leaves in front of him.

The moment the High Priest finished making his hand seals, he pointed his finger directly in the direction of Luo Chen. As if receiving the High Priest's command, the leaves rushed towards Luo Chen.

As the wind swept through, the leaves clashed together like weapons, producing a metallic sound. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen slapped the tree next to him with his palm.

When Luo Chen slapped the tree next to him, the thick tree snapped in half. Luo Chen then used one of his hands to lift the tree up, and as the leaves flew towards him, he threw the tree in his hand forward.

Just as Luo Chen tossed the tree aside, he quickly dodged to the side.

The leaves and the tree collided with each other, creating a violent explosion. The two energies dissipated, and the leaves that were flying in the air, having lost control of their energy, fell to the ground.

The falling leaves completely obscured everyone's view. When the leaves finally hit the ground, Da Siming hurriedly searched for Luo Chen's figure with his eyes.

However, after searching around, Da Siming could not find Luo Chen. Only Shao Siming, who was standing to the side, was waiting quietly.

Just as the Grand Master of Fate was about to walk toward the Lesser Master of Fate, a cold voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Are you looking for me?"

Upon hearing this voice, the Great Master of Fate panicked and hurriedly punched behind him with his fist.

"Boom!"

Da Siming felt as if his fist had hit a hard steel plate. After blocking Da Siming's punch, Luo Chen let out a cold laugh and kicked Da Siming in the back.

"puff"

Da Siming collapsed to the ground as if he had eaten dog shit, his mouth landing squarely on the ground, blood mingling with the dirt.

"cough cough"

The Grand Fate Master struggled to his feet, staring at Luo Chen's face with hatred in his eyes, as if trying to memorize that face deeply.

"Ha ha"

After the Great Master of Fate let out a loud laugh, blood quickly flowed from his mouth, followed by a look of deliberation on his face.

Upon seeing this, Shao Siming hurriedly called out to Luo Chen:

"Master! He wants to commit suicide!"

When Da Siming heard Shao Siming's words behind him, his eyes revealed endless sorrow, unable to believe that Shao Siming would be so wholeheartedly thinking of Luo Chen.

Upon seeing this, a tear gradually rolled down Da Siming's cheek, and then Da Siming slowly closed her eyes.

At this moment, the Great Master of Fate's body began to swell, and she slowly used her hands to pull out the silver needles from the top of her head.

Chapter 429 In Search of Zhao Gao

The moment the silver needle was pulled from the top of Da Siming's head, Da Siming's body seemed to explode like an inflated balloon right in front of Luo Chen.

When Luo Chen saw this, he sighed helplessly and said to Shao Siming behind him:

"Alright, let's go! Looks like we've wasted our time today!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Shao Siming was about to step forward to comfort her. However, as soon as Shao Siming reached Luo Chen, Luo Chen glanced to the side out of the corner of her eye and whispered to Shao Siming:

"Don't speak, they're probably from the Xi clan!"

Upon hearing this, Shao Siming nodded slightly, then used her own hand to help Luo Chen up and walk away into the distance.

After seeing that Luo Chen and Shao Siming had left, the man who was hiding in a corner quietly came out from the corner, took the pearl that Da Siming was wearing on her head from the ground, put it into his clothes, and then hurriedly left.

After seeing the direction the person had left in, Luo Chen and Shao Siming gradually emerged from a corner. Upon seeing this, Shao Siming smiled and said to Luo Chen:

"Master has excellent eyesight. If it weren't for your keen observation, I wouldn't have noticed that there was someone hiding there!"

Upon hearing Shao Siming's praise, Luo Chen didn't show much joy on her face. Instead, she said to Shao Siming:

"Let's hurry and follow them. Hopefully, this disciple is heading back to Zhao Gao's hiding place!"

After Luo Chen finished speaking, he and Shao Siming flashed forward and chased after them.

Meanwhile, the disciple of the Xi clan was completely unaware that two people were following him. After walking carefully, the disciple gradually appeared in a dilapidated temple east of Xianyang City.

After carefully observing his surroundings and confirming that he was not being followed, the disciple of the Xi clan cautiously entered the dilapidated temple.

After seeing the disciple of the Xi clan enter, Luo Chen and Shao Siming exchanged a glance and then quietly made their way towards the gate.

But when Luo Chen arrived at the gate, he was surprised to find through the dilapidated window that the temple was completely empty.

Seeing this, Luo Chen decided to stop hiding and swagger inside. Shao Siming, unaware of this beforehand, was puzzled to find no one inside and muttered to herself:

"How strange! I clearly saw that disciple come in just now! How come there's no one inside now?"

After hearing Shao Siming's words, Luo Chen also began to explore the dilapidated temple, and said to Shao Siming, who was still pondering the question:

"No need to think about it anymore, there must be some secret room or passage in this dilapidated temple. Search carefully!"

When Shao Siming heard Luo Chen's words, she said "oh" and began to search around.

Suddenly, Shao Siming screamed. Luo Chen, who had been observing closely, rushed to Shao Siming's side upon hearing the scream and anxiously asked her:

"What's wrong? Did you find it?"

After saying this, Luo Chen looked in the direction Shao Siming was pointing.

All that could be seen was incense ash continuously spraying upwards from a cauldron. Upon witnessing this strange phenomenon, Luo Chen slowly reached out and touched the cauldron with his palm.

But as soon as Luo Chen placed his palm on the cauldron, a chilling sensation spread from his fingers to his ears and all over his body.

After sensing this abnormality, Luo Chen gathered his inner strength into his palm and moved closer to the cauldron once again.

Just as Luo Chen was about to place his hands on the cauldron, Shao Siming hurriedly said to him:

"Master, I remember now! That wasn't the switch to open the secret passage; this is it!"

After saying this, Shao Siming pointed to the Buddha statue on the altar. Upon hearing Shao Siming's words, Luo Chen quickly removed his hands from the cauldron and asked Shao Siming in confusion:

"The Buddha statue is the entrance mechanism, so what's with this strange cauldron? When I touched the cauldron with my own hands just now, I found that it was unusually cold. If an ordinary person touched it, they would probably be frozen to death!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Shao Siming lowered her head in embarrassment and said to Luo Chen with a hint of apology:
