Chapter 188: Ambition

o his soul." "What’s that thing" Shen Xiang became even more curious. "Divine Persona!" White Tiger said gloomily, "I suspected that the little dragon hidden inside you was once Ten Thousand Heaven...Chapter 188: Ambition

Scattered throughout the training hall, Scorching Flame and Zhu Rong were busy moving things around.

"Where's Long Eyes" Scorching Flame asked, only to find that the True Breath within their bodies had thickened. He silently guessed that these fellows must have experienced some extraordinary events.

When Scorching Flame saw Scattered Threads return, he put down a tree and rushed over happily, saying, "Big Brother Scorching Flame, you really made quite the impact, killing off so many True Breath Realm experts in one go."

Scorching Flame was already quite excited when he heard the news before, but now he still had some concerns about Scattered Threads. He knew that many of the Disciples of True Breath who were crippled came from powerful families.

Zhu Rong rushed over and said, "Scattered Threads, you've gained quite a lot of good things from the Azure Dragon Realm. Are there any intentions to sell them I'll definitely offer you a satisfying price considering we're good friends."

Scorching Flame kicked him and shouted, "Get lost! You're the type who exploits friends. The more familiar you are with people, the worse they'll get taken care of by you."

When Xu Weilong returned, he saw Scattered Threads and said with a stiff smile, "I thought you'd stay away forever."

"Are you talking nonsense I won't be afraid!" Scattered Threads laughed.

"Haha, I almost want to take you away now. Heavenly Gate City is putting a bounty on you, with the Daoist Sect of Immortal Seas, True Breath Gate and Beast Breath Gate all awarding you one million crystal stones each. Also, there are many families of the crippled Disciples of True Breath watching you and taking you down! Brother Scorching Flame is quite skilled in the ways, so I believe you shouldn't be afraid!" Xu Weilong said.

"Surely you're not finished yet! There are even some small poor families and assassination organizations targeting you!" Zhu Rong said. "But Brother Scorching Flame, you're pretty good at handling things; I believe you shouldn't fear these people."

Scattered Threads chuckled, "As long as the statement by the Chief Daoist is true, I have nothing to fear!"

If the people who were hunting Scattered Threads had power much higher than him, the elders of True Breath Manor would take action. Such strength could destroy many families, but now only small forces were supporting teams to kill Scattered Threads.

"Are you all very busy" Scattered Threads asked.

"Not too busy actually; the distribution of training halls isn't our concern. We're just waiting for the results, then going straight to those training halls ourselves and taking care of the renovation tasks as they're Outsider Disciples' matters," Scorching Flame laughed.

Scattered Threads took out three pieces of Heart Essence Fruit and knew that they had been together for a long time, so he was worthy of being trusted as his friend. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to share the fruit, knowing that he could produce more later on.

"This is a precious thing!" Zhu Rong rubbed his hands and said happily.

Scattered Threads smiled, "Old Zhu, if you want to eat it, I need your help."

"Say!" Zhu Rong immediately agreed.

"Help me investigate the details of Lu Family." Scattered Threads whispered.

When Zhu Rong heard that, he nodded and Scorching Flame and Xu Weilong exchanged glances. They knew that Scattered Threads might do something after this, which alarmed them inwardly.

"Scorching Flame, Long Eyes! You've been working hard to succeed the family business for a long time. Your family competition is very cruel, brothers are always cheating each other, don't you feel tired" Scattered Threads said in a smiling tone.

"Big Brother Scorching Flame, you can just say whatever!" Scorching Flame said seriously. "I've grown tired of it, I feel disgusting inside the family and like it much more here."

Xu Weilong nodded, "If there's nothing else, I don't want to go back! Originally, I didn't care about the position in the family, but some people might think you would compete for it, fearing that you'd threaten them. Therefore, they'll force you to fight against each other before you get crushed!"

Zhu Rong sighed, as the children of these large families all had deep feelings.

Scattered Threads smiled, "Have any of you thought about building your own forces!"

When Scorching Flame, Zhu Rong and Xu Weilong heard that, their hearts suddenly shook. They did consider it before, but it wasn't an easy task. But now that Scattered Threads mentioned this, he must also have the same goal in mind.

"We'll join forces and secretly cultivate our forces! Medicine-making will be my responsibility, Old Zhu for resources, Scorching Flame training and nurturing, Long Eyes for finding people who want to join us!" Scattered Threads said. He had already planned this out in advance.

"Sure, I'll also contribute crystal stones! If Old Pig alone shoulders the responsibility, he won't agree," Scorching Flame immediately agreed.

"I'll also agree. Having a Fourth Stage Alchemist is quite promising!" Xu Weilong said, as they all saw how quickly Scattered Threads could refine medicine and the quality of those medicines. It would be easier to draw people in when there was plenty of medicine available, making it also simpler for them to become stronger.

Zhu Rong took a deep breath and smiled, "I'll also do it. This is like a huge investment for me, doing big business, but I'm afraid it'll take quite some time to get my money back."

Scattered Threads laughed, "Good. Once you've eaten this fruit, do as I said and have Scorching Flame gather the training methods, Old Zhu gathering information about Lu Family first. Long Eyes find some who are not in families but very dedicated to training."

Zhu Rong asked, "Big Brother Scattered Threads, why do you need Lu Family's information"

Scattered Threads became serious, "When I was investigating Azure Dragon Mountain, two True Breath Realm Second Stage experts attacked me when they were just a little way away from Heavenly Gate City. They're all people from Lu Family, sent by Chief Lu himself! Since they want me dead, I can't let them have an easy time."

Scorching Flame and Zhu Rong all understood. They realized why Scattered Threads suddenly attacked Lu Shang before, yet they were curious about how quickly he was released from punishment.

After Zhu Rong and Scorching Flame ate the Heart Essence Fruit, they entered their state of cultivation. Scattered Threads quietly left and returned to Tai Dan King Hall, where it was silent. He searched everywhere but found no signs of Wu Qianqian, so he returned to the secret chamber for alchemy.

He had long wanted to try how quickly he could refine medicine after having the Heaven Yang Flame Soul! out another six-element sky-blue fruit, preparing to refine the pill. He was grateful for the Great Sage Sect when he heard that they controlled pill prices, without them, these six-element sky-blue...
