"You are right. If I hadn't offered the sword embryo voluntarily, it would be useless even if you killed me and dissected my body. But how can I trust you that you will keep your promise and let me go when you get the sword embryo?" Shen Luo pondered for a moment and asked.
"You are the fish and they are the butchers. Do you have any other choice except to believe me?" Qian Tong didn't care at all when he heard it and asked slowly.
"If that's what you say, then I would rather die than be tricked by you." Shen Luo said directly without any hesitation.
After Shen Luo finished saying this, the sea of consciousness fell into silence.
"My fellow Daoist, why do you have to do this? I am different from those two guys from the Body Refining Altar. I don't have any ambition to serve the Holy Lord. I am just a businessman who only seeks profit. As long as you are willing to hand over the sword embryo to me honestly and without reservation, I will have a way to deceive you and let you escape alive. After all, as the saying goes, "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood to burn. I don't need to tell you, my fellow Daoist should also understand this." After a moment, Qian Tong's voice sounded again, and he said with some temptation.
"Sure enough, it's the Body Refining Altar that's causing trouble again." Shen Luo's heart moved, and he began to think secretly.
"Fellow Daoist, you don't have much time to think about it. Those two guys are not easy to fool." Qian Tong urged Shen Luo when he saw that he didn't say anything.
"As long as I hand over the sword embryo, will you really let me go?" Shen Luo frowned and asked in a voice transmission.
"When doing business, honesty and trustworthiness come first. Besides, this is a win-win situation for both parties. Why shouldn't I agree?" Qian Tong smiled and said as soon as he saw that he was wavering.
After Shen Luo heard this, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Tell me, how can you let me escape safely?"
"This is easy. As long as you hand over the sword embryo to me, I will let the evil ghost release a gap. You can hide your breath and escape on your own. The two of them will activate the formation and will not be suspicious of this place."
As he spoke, Qian Tong raised his hand and waved it, and the black mucus that was wrapped around Shen Luo's body dispersed, leaving him with a space of about ten feet to move around.
“Since you are so sincere... I naturally don’t have to lose my life in vain for a sword embryo. However, once I release this sword embryo, there will be fluctuations of mana released, and they will know about it.” Shen Luo said with some concern.
"That's okay. I'll also enter the evil ghost's body. As long as the sword embryo doesn't leave the evil ghost's body, I'll put it away, and they won't be able to detect it." Qian Tong seemed to have planned everything in advance and said impatiently.
"My fellow Daoist is indeed thoughtful. Let's do this." Shen Luo said in a voice transmission.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mucus around him retreated again, and the space for movement outside his body expanded several times.
At this moment, a hole suddenly appeared in the evil ghost's abdomen, and Qian Tong's figure flashed in instantly, standing several feet away from Shen Luo, and looked over with a smile.
"I still don't know what to call you friend?" Qian Tong asked.
"My surname is Shen. I'm just an unknown person in the Bishui Sect, not worth mentioning." Shen Luo clasped his fists and said.
He had been using water magic before, so he pretended to be a member of the Bishui Sect.
"Oh, you are a disciple of Bishui Sect?" Qian Tong was a little surprised when he heard it.
