118: Chapter 118: Scaring Madam Wen!
Savage Beard's efficiency exceeded Zhao Changsheng's expectations; he originally thought it would take at least three to five months, or even half a year to a year, to invite Madam Wen over.
He hadn't expected that in just one month, Savage Beard would have invited Madam Wen over.
It was mainly because Madam Wen actually gave Savage Beard so much Face.
As soon as Savage Beard went to her White Jade Mountain and explained the situation, Madam Wen rushed over at top speed.
Savage Beard was even slightly inferior in terms of flight speed; although both were Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and Savage Beard's cultivation was above Madam Wen's, he surprisingly couldn't match her in speed.
This couldn't help but make Savage Beard look at Madam Wen with a bit more respect.
Originally, Savage Beard hadn't thought much of Madam Wen since there was a gap in their Realms, but now he held her in high regard.
"Is it you, Fellow Daoist, who had Savage Beard invite me to discuss the matter of killing Six Paths? Now that I have arrived, shouldn't you inform me of the specific plan?"
Upon arriving at Zhao Changsheng's Longevity Island, Madam Wen didn't waste any words and asked directly.
Regarding Madam Wen's questioning, Zhao Changsheng glanced at Savage Beard, who showed no intention of leaving and instead continued drinking his tea.
Undoubtedly, he also wanted to know exactly what method Zhao Changsheng intended to use to kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint, a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator.
This was truly intriguing.
Of course, it was mainly impossible not to be curious.
How could a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like him not want to know a method capable of killing even a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator? And how could he not feel a sense of wariness in his heart?
While he was eager to know, it was for this very reason that he developed a deep wariness toward Zhao Changsheng. He desperately wanted to know what Zhao Changsheng relied on to be able to kill the Six Paths Extreme Saint.
So no matter what kind of look Zhao Changsheng gave him, Savage Beard had absolutely no intention of leaving, instead continuing to drink his tea.
Furthermore, he couldn't help but complain about Zhao Changsheng in his heart; there wasn't even a maid to serve tea here, which left him utterly disappointed.
"Since Madam asks with sincerity, I shall naturally tell the truth. Actually, the method is very simple and is related to one of my Divine Abilities. And this Divine Ability still requires Madam's full assistance."
After saying this, Zhao Changsheng opened his palm, and a cluster of nearly transparent and invisible flame appeared in his hand.
When this flame appeared, both Savage Beard and Madam Wen felt danger; even their Nascent Souls felt fear.
A look of wariness appeared in both of their eyes and on their Faces simultaneously.
It wasn't just toward the flame in Zhao Changsheng's hand, but more so toward Zhao Changsheng himself.
"Although the flame is powerful, relying solely on it is far from enough to kill Six Paths. At most, the flame can injure a Nascent Soul Cultivator, but killing one is likely impossible."
Savage Beard offered his evaluation, feeling utterly disappointed by Zhao Changsheng's method.
"If it were a direct confrontation, it would naturally be impossible to pose a threat to a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, but what if it were inside the body?"
"If this flame appeared inside the Six Paths Extreme Saint's body and then suddenly erupted, even if he is a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, he would likely be heavily injured. At that time, killing him would be much easier."
Zhao Changsheng laid out his plan. After he finished, both Savage Beard and Madam Wen felt it was impossible; after exchanging a glance, their eyes were filled with looks of utter disappointment.
"Easier said than done, but how can you send this flame into Six Paths' body?"
Although Madam Wen was utterly disappointed, she still held a glimmer of hope and questioned further.
"So this is where I need Madam's help. I can first send this flame into Madam's body, and then I'll have to trouble Madam to send it into Six Paths' body through Dual Cultivation. That way, everything will be taken care of. Most importantly, this flame has another ability, a rather special one; even if it is discovered, there won't be any major issues. I can only inform Madam of this special ability, so Fellow Daoist Man, I must ask you to leave for a moment."
Zhao Changsheng directly issued an order for his guest to leave. Regarding this order, although Savage Beard felt dissatisfied and was curious about the flame's special ability, since Zhao Changsheng had been so direct, he couldn't stay any longer. He could only nod, stand up, and take his leave.
As for Madam Wen, her cheeks showed a hint of a blush, but she remained calm, still feeling it was unlikely.
"Based on my understanding of him, this method is simply impossible to achieve. Although I am his Dao Companion, it's impossible to use this method to send the flame into his body."
Madam Wen shook her head and said with some disappointment.
"Madam, please don't be in a hurry; let me finish. I haven't mentioned another function of this flame yet. That is, this flame can enter a Cultivator's body silently. If Madam doesn't believe it, then please check if there is something extra inside your own body?"
As soon as Zhao Changsheng finished speaking, Madam Wen's expression changed instantly, and she immediately used her Divine Thought to examine her body.
Soon, Madam Wen discovered a nail-sized, invisible, and transparent flame inside her body that didn't belong to any part of her.
This small cluster of flame was exactly the same as the one in Zhao Changsheng's hand, causing Madam Wen's Face to turn pale instantly.
Although it was just a tiny bit of flame, Madam Wen could feel an immense danger from it.
It was even more dangerous than the cluster of flame in Zhao Changsheng's hand because this flame was hidden inside her body.
If it were to suddenly erupt, her Physical Body would be nearly destroyed.
With her Physical Body destroyed, she would be left with only her Nascent Soul to flee; trying to fight back would be pure suicide.
"Now, does Madam Wen believe what I just said? If it weren't for my wariness of the Six Paths Extreme Saint being a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, I would have dared to go find him myself. But unfortunately, he is a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator with many Divine Abilities and methods that I cannot match. Especially trying to silently send this flame into his body is an impossible task. Therefore, after much consideration, only by using the method of Dual Cultivation can it be silently sent into his body. And the best candidate is naturally his Dao Companion, Madam."
Zhao Changsheng withdrew the flame from Madam Wen's body, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief as her complexion returned to normal.
But in reality, her heart was still hanging in suspense, and her wariness of Zhao Changsheng had reached its peak.
