Chapter 132: Chapter 81 Giant Whale Divine Intent Picture! Furious Waves Skyrocketing!_1

“Should I kill him?” At this moment, Su Changkong couldn’t examine the item closely; he tucked it into his bosom and looked down at the unconscious Liu Geng, his eyes flickering with a cold light.

Su Changkong couldn’t resist striking, knocking out Liu Geng after he had finished the exchange with the man in black. Deciding to kill Liu Geng was one option, since he had already gone this far.

“Forget it, don’t kill him.”

But with a swift thought, Su Changkong decided against killing Liu Geng.

The reason was simple: Liu Geng belonged to Deputy Gang Leader Meng Sang and had been assigned to supervise his alchemy. Killing Liu Geng would lead to serious consequences.

Killing Liu Geng would make the whole Giant Whale Gang investigate the murderer, and it would be easy to discover that the handiwork wasn’t that of their own disciples. They might assume the black-clothed intruders were responsible.

But Su Changkong knew that the group in black was most likely from Meng Sang’s faction. Meng Sang would definitely realize that the person who killed Liu Geng was neither one of his men nor other Giant Whale Gang disciples, but was a third party! Therefore, it would not be surprising if he suspected the recently arrived Su Changkong.

Moreover, killing Liu Geng meant the Giant Whale Gang would definitely send someone else to supervise him in the Pill Refining Room, and having an unfamiliar person around could lead to more complications.

Knocking out Liu Geng and letting him be found by the Giant Whale Gang disciples, allowing both sides to argue and fight among themselves, was the best choice!

With this thought, Su Changkong didn’t linger. His figure glided silently along the walls’ shadows, returning to his residence to release the Turtle Breath Shrinkage technique.

“What should I do with this thing?”

Back in his bedroom, Su Changkong looked at the scroll in his hand, quickly pondering his next steps.

There was no time to study it carefully, but it definitely wasn’t an ordinary item. He guessed it wouldn’t be long before the Giant Whale Gang carried out a thorough search. It was a hot potato he didn’t want to hold onto.

As for destroying it, that would render meaningless all that Su Changkong had done tonight. Naturally, he wouldn’t do such a thing.

“I should hide it, in a place no one can find it!”

Su Changkong looked at the scroll in his hand, already knowing where he would hide it. First, he would tuck it away, wait out the storm, and then study it carefully!

“Bang bang bang!”

And not long after Su Changkong’s return, his residence’s gate was knocked on. This was expected; Su Changkong wasn’t flustered. He got up to open the door, still in his nightclothes, looking as though he had just been woken from sleep, not yet dressed.

Outside stood several Giant Whale Gang disciples with serious expressions.

“Master Su, would you mind if we take a look inside? You must have heard the commotion just now; a thief has set fire to Xuanwu Pavilion and is on the run—we are searching for their whereabouts!” said the man in the middle, his voice heavy.

“Ah? Xuanwu Pavilion is burned? Who would be so bold?” Su Changkong appeared shocked, which wasn’t entirely an act, as he only knew about the commotion tonight but was ignorant of the specifics.

Xuanwu Pavilion was a critical place where the Giant Whale Gang stored Martial Arts Secret Manuals, and now it had been set ablaze.

“The details aren’t convenient to discuss right now,” the man said.

“Well… Please come in. I was just asleep and woke up startled. I didn’t dare to run around and didn’t notice anything unusual.”

With an understanding look, Su Changkong stepped aside,

“Pardon the intrusion.” The man was polite, more so because of Su Changkong’s special status, not comparable to ordinary Giant Whale Gang disciples.

The group entered the courtyard and conducted a thorough search, diligently checking every possible hiding spot, but of course, found nothing.

The Giant Whale Gang disciples bid farewell and left to continue the search elsewhere.

“Huh? Is someone there?”

Naturally, it didn’t take long afterward for Liu Geng, whom Su Changkong had knocked out, to be discovered by a team of searching Giant Whale Gang disciples.

“It’s Liu Geng… He seems to work in the Pill Refining Room, but why is he here?” A Giant Whale Gang disciple approached to check on him, his voice filled with confusion, “He’s not dead… He has a heavy blow to the back of his head; someone knocked him out!”

“Was it those felons who burned down the Scripture Pavilion? But why knock him out? And why would a disciple who works in the Pill Refining Room appear here?” The others looked at each other bewildered. If it had been those fleeing in black, they likely wouldn’t have taken the time to knock him out instead of killing him.

Apart from that, Liu Geng was a civilian, not much trained in martial arts, and in such chaotic circumstances, he should have been hiding indoors.

“Let’s take him away!”

One of the Giant Whale Gang disciples commanded, regardless, they had to take him to be interrogated by the higher-ups, perhaps to gain a clue.

“Wha… What happened?”

Still groggy, Liu Geng had a splitting headache and felt himself being carried away. It took him a while to grasp his situation.

Meanwhile, Su Changkong hadn’t slept all night; the Giant Whale Gang was in disarray, searching for those in black until sunrise the next day.

Early the next morning, a large group of Giant Whale Gang disciples arrived outside Su Changkong’s residence.

The leading Giant Whale Gang disciple spoke gravely, “Master Su, last night a thief destroyed Xuanwu Pavilion, and important items were lost. We need to conduct a search; we ask for your understanding!”

“No problem, please proceed.”

Su Changkong was very cooperative.

Thus, the Giant Whale Gang disciples began searching his courtyard, leaving no stone unturned, even the crevices under the small pond.
