Chapter 1138 I can’t trick you to death
"you……"
Tang Long was about to refute when he suddenly realized that he had indeed been to Guangzhou and he could not hide it.
The more he tried to cover up, the more guilty he seemed, which gave Jiang Xiaochuan an excuse to continue pestering him.
This kid deliberately said something about not being able to distinguish between day and night, clearly trying to put the blame on him.
After realizing this, Tang Long immediately changed his words: "I have been to Guangzhou, so what?"
"Yangcheng isn't a forbidden area. What's wrong with me going there to discuss business and survey the market? It's better than some people getting themselves into trouble and then desperately trying to throw mud at others!"
Having said that, he immediately turned to Xuehe and Xuejiu, bowing his head. "Seniors, please understand! This brat is deliberately trying to distract us. The more he tries to pin the 'visit to Yangcheng' incident on me, the more it proves he has something to hide!"
"Don't be fooled by his innocent appearance!"
Xuehe and Xuejiu looked at each other, and the doubts in their turbid blood-red pupils deepened.
This Tang Long who suddenly appeared was not on their investigation list at all.
The two men were not fools. It was impossible that they went to Guangzhou at that sensitive time just to discuss business.
In comparison, although Jiang Xiaochuan's explanation was also questionable, it was at least reasonable, and his description of the situation in Guangzhou was consistent with what they had secretly discovered.
More importantly, Xiao Qi’s disappearance is related to the secret manual of “Blood Evil Power”, which is a major matter that the top leaders of the sect have strictly ordered to be investigated, and no clues can be missed.
Furthermore, Xuehe had some understanding of the situation in Yangcheng.
Although it is chaotic there, it is still a small place after all.
The fact that masters like Tang Long frequently appear there is itself suspicious.
"Business talk?"
The bloody river approached Tang Long step by step, and the bloody smell on his body was so oppressive that it made him breathless. "You are far away in the capital. Who are you going to discuss business with in that small place? Tell me!"
Xuejiu added sinisterly, "Kid, tell the truth. If you tell a lie... my Red Blood Sect's soul-searching and spirit-refining methods will make you regret coming into this world."
Red Blood Cult?!
Tang Long's heart sank suddenly, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.
How could he forget!
Who else but the Red Blood Cult could have such a strong smell of blood and be so ruthless?
I was just focused on framing Jiang Xiaochuan and didn't think about this!
He had long heard of the Scarlet Blood Cult's vicious reputation. It was said that all of its followers were vicious, cruel, and unreasonable.
If I had known it was a bunch of lunatics, I would never have joined in the fun even if you kill me!
Now, Jiang Xiaochuan was about to get away, but because he had been to Guangzhou, he aroused the suspicion of these two old monsters.
Tang Long's face turned pale instantly. "Second... Second Seniors, calm down! I really didn't lie to you. I went to Yangcheng for personal matters. I absolutely did not mean to offend your sect! If I lied in any way, I..."
"Without further ado!"
Xuejiu interrupted him impatiently, clawing forward with his claws. A faint smell of blood instantly filled the air. "I only want to ask you, what did you do in Yangcheng? If you dare to beat around the bush again, I will destroy you right now!"
Tang Long's Adam's apple rolled violently, and he thought quickly in his mind:
He originally wanted to drag the two elders, Ku Han, to explore the ancient tomb and then do something big, but the two men hid and refused to come out. With his own strength, going in would be suicide.
Besides, the treasure inside might have been taken away long ago, so there is no point in keeping this secret.
The most important thing now is to clear himself. Even if he tells about the ancient tomb and leads the Red Blood Cult to search for the treasure, it is better than being regarded as a suspect by them!
"Okay, I say!"
Tang Long made up his mind and no longer concealed it: "There is an ancient tomb outside the city. It is said that there are treasures inside."
"I took people down there to look for it, but it was full of traps, so we were forced back soon. Since then, I haven't been to Yangcheng again."
Tang Long's frankness gave Jiang Xiaochuan a warning.
He suddenly remembered that Tang Long had seen Balong in the ancient tomb!
Although he changed his appearance, Tang Long must remember Baron's face!
Now that Ba Long has been transferred here by Du Hai, if he is recognized by Tang Long and then questioned by the Red Blood Sect, his relationship with Du Hai will definitely be exposed!
While Xuehe Xuejiu was pondering over the information about the ancient tomb, Jiang Xiaochuan immediately gathered his energy in secret and sent a secret message to Zhou Cheng who was not far away, instructing him to let Balong hide.
Zhou Cheng received the message and quietly took two steps back. Taking cover from the crowd of onlookers, he turned around and ran quickly in the direction of Baron.
On this side, Xuehe and Xuejiu looked as if they were listening to a story, with doubt written all over their faces.
Is there an ancient tomb containing valuable treasures in Guangzhou?
If there really is such a treasure tomb, it is impossible for the Black Gold Society to not know anything about it. Why didn't Xiao Qi report the news back to the Grand Master?
They originally suspected that it was Blind Zhou who leaked the news of the manuscript, causing Xiao Qi to be robbed after he succeeded.
Now a treasure from an ancient tomb suddenly appears, and the clues suddenly become complicated.
The two looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
Although I think Tang Long might be lying, what if it's true?
The Red Blood Sect has always attached great importance to natural treasures. If there is a treasure that can really assist in cultivation, they will never let it go.
"What treasure is in there?"
Xuehe took another step forward. "Besides you, who else knows? Who else has been there?"
Seeing their interest, Tang Long heaved a sigh of relief and spoke frankly, "It's said... it's an ancient jade that can absorb the energy of heaven and earth. Wearing it on your body for cultivation can increase your speed several times! Some also say that the jade is related to the mystery of immortality..."
"I thought I was the only one who knew this news, but on my way back, I clearly saw another group of well-equipped people entering the ancient tomb!"
As he spoke, Tang Long glanced at Jiang Xiaochuan and said with ill intent, "Boss Jiang, you have such a strong influence in Yangcheng that you even took down the Black Gold Society. How could you not know about this?"
"Want to pass the blame to me? I'll kill you."
Jiang Xiaochuan sneered in his heart, but showed just the right amount of surprise on his face.
"To be honest with you two seniors, I did hear some rumors before that some extraordinary ancient artifacts had appeared in Yangcheng."
"But everyone just thinks it's a rumor. They say the treasure was secretly taken away a long time ago, and no one has ever seen the real thing."
"There were so many rumors, both true and false, that I didn't take them seriously, let alone investigate."
At this point, he turned his gaze to Tang Long, "Now that I've heard what Boss Tang said, I know the rumors are true."
"No wonder Boss Tang leaves his business in Beijing behind and keeps coming back to Guangzhou."
"A treasure that can increase your cultivation and also involves immortality, anyone would be tempted."
When Tang Long heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Don't slander me! I just went to check once and didn't get anything!"
"I didn't say you got it."
Jiang Xiaochuan shrugged, but every word he said hit the nail on the head.
"I just think that since Boss Tang knows about this treasure and has been there once, he might know more information..."
