Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

In the forest stood Asura, clad in black, silently watching her.

He had really come. Pretty Girl\'s heart was filled with curiosity. How could he see her standing there with the milk tea? Or did he come every evening?

"Let\'s go talk at your little inn. We\'ll walk separately," Asura said without further inquiry, turned around, and activated Leopard Flash, disappearing swiftly.

Pretty Girl watched his departing figure, and after a moment\'s pause, she returned to the main road and hurried off.

When she arrived at the entrance of the small inn next to Jiali Plaza, Asura\'s figure emerged from a dark corner next to the hotel. Without speaking, he followed her inside the inn.

They entered the room that Pretty Girl had brought Tang San to before and closed the door behind them.

"Have you been following me?" Pretty Girl\'s eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Have you always distrusted me?" Asura countered with a question of his own.

They locked gazes, and Pretty Girl\'s brows slightly furrowed.

Considering Asura\'s past actions, it seemed he had always been helping her, but what was the purpose of this stranger? If not for the fact that he was human, Pretty Girl would have attacked him long ago, especially after he discovered her secret last time.

Asura spoke, "What\'s the action this time?"

After taking a deep breath to quell the doubts in her heart, Pretty Girl answered, "The target is the Chief of the Wind Wolf Clan. Assassination. Ninth Stage peak. There are no God level strong within the Wind Wolf Clan, confirmed."

The Wind Wolf Clan? Upon hearing this name, Asura\'s heart couldn\'t help but tremble slightly. After all, it was his original Monster clan. His hatred for the Wind Wolf Clan ran deep; his birth mother in this world had died at their hands. And at that time, he was completely powerless to do anything. The Wind Wolf Clan was a place he was bound to confront someday; the ritual sacrifices in the small Wind Wolf Clan town were on his kill list.

"Good! Do you have a map?" Asura asked.

"Yes," Pretty Girl said, pulling out a leather map scroll and spreading it out on the table.

"The Wind Wolf Clan\'s residence is nearby. Apart from the Great Elder stationed at Ancestral Court, there are no other God level strong. In recent years, they have frequently clashed with the Flash Leopard Clan, so targeting them will not easily reveal our identities."

Asura looked over the map while Pretty Girl continued, "The day after tomorrow is the annual blood sacrifice ceremony of the Wind Wolf Clan, where they specifically sacrifice human slaves to worship their ancestors. The ceremony will take place at the altar behind the Ancestral House residence. The Chief and many Wind Wolf leaders will participate. At that time, Ancestral House will have the most strong present, but according to Wind Wolf customs, after the sacrifice, there will be a celebration. I plan to act at night, after their revelry."

Asura nodded towards the map, "It\'s a good plan. That\'s when they\'re most relaxed, and with many strong present. Are you confident?"

"I\'m skilled in stealth and not easily detected. I\'ll seek the right opportunity, strike decisively, and immediately flee far away," Pretty Girl replied.

"Is that all?" Asura\'s lips twitched slightly.

"What else?" Pretty Girl looked at him. After all, she had done the same last time and had indeed succeeded. Of course, Asura\'s assistance with control played a part, but at the time she was unaware and still confident in her success.

"In an assassination, the first thing to ensure is stealth," Asura said. "Whether or not the assassination is successful, you cannot be discovered by your target afterward. Like last time when you attacked the Diamond Bear leader and provoked its roar, that\'s why we got into trouble later on. Otherwise, the assassination could have been completed without anyone noticing, allowing us to destroy all traces and escape without giving any clues."

"But how is that possible?" Pretty Girl frowned slightly.

Asura\'s mouth twitched slightly, "Indeed, still a little girl!"

"What did you say?" Pretty Girl\'s delicate eyebrows shot up, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

"Cough cough, nothing, I mean, I have a better idea, do you want to hear it?" Asura hurriedly said.

"Speak." Pretty Girl said indifferently.

Asura said, "There\'s always eating and drinking at banquets, so we can start with their food and drink. If we can make them fall into a deep sleep after eating and drinking, wouldn\'t our actions become much easier?"

"Are you talking about poisoning?" Pretty Girl was stunned for a moment. "How could that be possible? Powerful Monsters inherently have a very strong resistance to toxins with their bloodline power, it\'s simply impossible for them to be poisoned."

"That\'s with ordinary poison. What we will use is not ordinary," Asura said with a calm gaze.

For some reason, after hearing his words, Pretty Girl couldn\'t help but feel a chill rise from the depths of her heart.

"What is not ordinary?" Pretty Girl asked.

Asura said, "How about this, let\'s make a bet. If I succeed this time, then from now on you have to trust me and not always be on guard against me. How about it? This is also like presenting my credentials to you."

"What is \'presenting one\'s credentials\'?" Pretty Girl asked, puzzled.

"..., \'Presenting one\'s credentials\' means that when everyone is doing bad things, I voluntarily do a bad thing, which is like being tied to your war chariot. You\'ve also, in effect, got something on me."

"I haven\'t done anything bad!" Pretty Girl said coldly.

"Yes, yes, no bad deeds. But we are always partners in action, and partners need to trust each other. Consider that I am doing this to gain your trust," Asura sounded somewhat helpless. He could feel Pretty Girl\'s wariness towards him. This was even more so than with his real body in her presence. When Pretty Girl was faced with Tang San, she was actually in a more relaxed state.

"Then how do you plan to carry out this action?" Pretty Girl asked.

Asura said, "Put poison in the drinks. The strong flavor of the drinks can easily mask the taste of poison. Add delayed-release ingredients to the poison so that it takes effect after they have drunk a lot, and also ensure that the effect is long-lasting. It can\'t be that kind of deadly poison which can be detected once it enters the body. I\'ll use some kind of drug that causes them to fall into a deep sleep. Once they\'re all asleep, then we can take action. By then, you can kill whoever you want."

Pretty Girl looked at him intently, "Then let\'s try your method."

Asura said, "If this works, you can be a little less guarded against me in the future. I will prove with actions that I am a reliable partner."

"Hmm." Pretty Girl replied indifferently.

Asura said, "I\'ll leave first, I need to plan in detail. Let me borrow the map. We will meet here again the day after tomorrow afternoon. We\'ll execute our plan before evening falls."

"Okay."

Asura took the map and left swiftly. Pretty Girl sat alone in the room for a while, pondering the interaction process with this mysterious man.

To her, Asura was becoming increasingly mysterious. He had a variety of Demon God Transformation Bloodline Abilities and was proficient with all of them. She couldn\'t even see through Asura\'s true strength because he had never fought at full strength, yet he gave her a slightly dangerous feeling. Even more, the Zhuge magic crossbow Asura had given her before was extremely useful. The magic array inscribed within it was very complicated; she had tried to replicate it but failed.

Without the Zhuge magic crossbow, last time she wouldn\'t have been able to kill the Diamond Bear. And today, he said he could create poison—what exactly couldn\'t he do?

From Asura\'s somewhat helpless tone, she could feel that he seemed to harbor no ill will towards her. He even knew some of her affairs. Could he be a high-level member sent by the Redemption Organization? As a Human strong, this was the only explanation that made sense. Yet he denied being a member of the Redemption Organization, which was very strange.
