Chapter 49: Chapter 49 - A Saint King’s Corpse as a Reward?



"Stop, stop, stop!" Song Yang quickly interrupted, looking at Shi Hu with a hint of anger. "Didn\'t I say that you have full authority over assassination missions?"

"Even if it\'s the Holy Son of the Holy Land, you can kill without fear."

"No, Sect Master, it\'s just that this person\'s identity has something to do with you." Shi Hu paused briefly before continuing, "Moreover, the reward is extremely useful..."

"Oh?" Song Yang looked at Shi Hu with interest. He was curious to know what reward could be so significant that Shi Hu would claim it was useful to him.

Due to his special physique, he didn\'t need any kind of resource; simply absorbing corpses could enhance his cultivation and even his talent.

As for any treasure, he already possessed a Phoenix Blood Sword, an imperial artifact. It was impossible for someone to offer something like an immortal artifact as a reward.

But, more importantly, Shi Hu mentioned that this person\'s identity has some connection with him, that is, with the original body.

Since he is about to return and announce to the world that he is alive, he needs to know everything about the original body. What if, somehow, the original body offended a Near-Emperor?

Although he is extremely arrogant, Song Yang still knows to be cautious enough to investigate everything about the original body before returning.

Moreover, although the Shura Palace is an organization of assassins, the Shadow Demons\' ability to gather information, due to their innate skills, is even superior to their assassination capabilities!

"Palace Master, the person who ordered the assassination is named Fang Yu. He is from the Fang family of Jiangyin city, a branch of the Fang family of the imperial capital," Shi Hu began to report respectfully.

"Fang family of the Imperial Capital?" Song Yang put his hand on his chin and thought for a moment before continuing, "But I don\'t remember having any grievances with the Fang family."

According to his memories, Song Yang really didn\'t recall any grudge or alliance with the Fang family of the imperial capital, let alone a family branch in Jiangyin city.

So, he was a bit surprised and even suspected that Shi Hu might have made an error in his investigation.

Hearing what Song Yang said, Shi Hu felt a cold sweat and knelt on the ground. "Palace Master, it\'s my fault for not reporting it earlier."

"What didn\'t you report?" Song Yang raised an eyebrow and asked Shi Hu, somewhat curious.

"Palace Master, the culprit behind the death of Your Highness, Concubine Gong, and the entire Ouyang family..."

"It was the Fang family of the Imperial Capital."

Shi Hu reported while kneeling, reprimanding himself in his heart for assuming that Song Yang already knew this information and not reporting it earlier.

To Shi Hu\'s surprise, Song Yang did not reprimand him. Instead, he asked in an indifferent voice, "What does this Fang Yu from the city of Jiangyin have to do with it?"

"Also, don\'t call Concubine Gong Your Highness; she is just a mere concubine of a small dynasty. Why should you address her by that title?"

Although he had inherited all the memories of the original body, Song Yang always imagined it was like watching a film of the previous body\'s life, not caring at all about any sentimental relationship of the original body.

So, he didn\'t care at all to know the culprit behind the death of the original body\'s mother and didn\'t even think about seeking revenge against the Fang family.

For this reason, he didn\'t mind that Shi Hu had not reported this matter to him; after all, if he wanted to know who the culprit was, he could have sent the Shadow Demons to investigate at any time.

But Shi Hu\'s next sentence finally piqued Song Yang\'s interest: "Palace Master, perhaps you don\'t know, but some time after the death of the Ouyang family, the entire Fang family was cruelly exterminated."

"The person who exterminated the family used a curse technique that completely eradicated the Fang family\'s lineage, including its more than 19 branches, leaving only one survivor: Fang Yu from Jiangyin city."

As he listened, Song Yang became somewhat interested, but after reflecting, lost interest and murmured, "At most, this Fang Yu must be the result of some betrayal or was adopted. There\'s nothing special about it."

"That??" Shi Hu was somewhat stunned by Song Yang\'s extremely accurate analysis.

He had imagined countless theories about treasures Fang Yu might have used to escape the curse but had never considered such an obvious possibility.

Song Yang was about to leave when he suddenly remembered why Shi Hu had come to talk about Fang Yu and asked, "What\'s the reward that you thought would be useful to me?"

Seeing this, Shi Hu finally came back to his senses and respectfully answered, "A corpse of a beast whose cultivation level is equivalent to a 9-Star Saint."

Hearing this, Song Yang\'s eyes couldn\'t help but shine.

Although he didn\'t understand why someone would want to pay the Shura Palace with corpses, it was beneficial for him.

Moreover, although he had absorbed less than 5% of He Xianglan\'s energy and the rest was stored in his Death Space, that small amount alone was enough to raise his cultivation to a 4-Star Saint.

Now that he had the opportunity to obtain another corpse of a creature whose cultivation reached the Saint King level, and at its peak, how could Song Yang not be pleased?

Without a second thought, Song Yang noted that the target was only a 5-Star Saint and ordered Shi Hu, "Carry out this assassination mission. Also, investigate a bit more about this Fang Yu."

"Perhaps my previous analysis was a bit off. Someone who can obtain a corpse of a Saint King should not be simple."
