"Mr. Carl, rest assured."

Song Tian, despite feeling displeased by the other's behavior, spoke with great respect on the surface, "As long as Mr. Carl is willing to help, no matter what the conditions are, my Song Family will agree."

"Big Brother!"

Behind him, Song Wu and the others were shocked.

Having dealt with the people of Feng Country so many times, they were well aware that if you let them ask for anything, they would never be polite to you.

The Song Family might suffer a significant loss again.

The key point is, there is no need for this at all, right? If they wait here for a while, the Patriarch will come back.

"Stop talking."

Song Tian raised his hand, "I am the Song Family Patriarch, I will take responsibility for anything that happens."

For some reason, the uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger.

"Yes."

Song Wu and the others saw this and had no choice but to say no more.

"Alright, since Patriarch Song has said so, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse. After all, our Revival Association has always had a good relationship with Patriarch Song, and we should help each other." Carl extended five fingers, "Two million points, and I'll help you."

"Two million points!"

Even Shi Tao and the others gasped.

With one million points, you could buy any Cultivation Technique below the Divine Demon-level Martial Arts.

Just by moving his nose, he could earn two million points?

"Alright, two million then."

Song Tian agreed through gritted teeth.

"Patriarch Song is straightforward."

Carl gave a thumbs-up and then closed his eyes. He twitched his nose briefly and soon opened his eyes, pointing eastward, "I have smelled the trail of your Patriarch. He went in that direction."

"Thank you, Mr. Carl."

Song Tian expressed his gratitude, then looked back at the others, "Let's follow him."

"Wait a moment."

Shi Tao appeared at the entrance of the hall, blocking the way of Song Family and others.

"Patriarch Song, although the strength of our Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is not as good as the Song Family, you can't just come and go as you please, right? Besides, if my memory serves me correctly, didn't you capture one of our Association's members?"

Song Tian's face darkened, "Chairman Shi, are you insisting on not letting us leave?"

Hearing this, Chang Fei and the others behind him became tense.

If it were just the Song Family, the Chairman would naturally not be afraid.

The key issue was that the members of the Revival Association were also present, and Carl's strength was no less than that of the departed Patriarch of the Song Family.

And Elder Wang was not here.

Shi Tao was well aware of this; however, he had no choice.

Chen Fan had just left less than two minutes ago. Even if his strength surpassed the old Patriarch of the Song Family, it would still be difficult to determine the outcome.

At this point, sending Carl over would turn the situation around. Who would be the one meeting their end then, is uncertain.

Therefore, he had to come forward and buy Chen Fan some time.

"I said, hand over the person you captured from our Association." Shi Tao said coldly.

Song Tian clenched his fists.

If it had been Shi Tao before his breakthrough, he wouldn't be afraid.

But now, the other party was already a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, capable of borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth to amplify the power of Martial Arts Techniques dozens to hundreds of times. This was no joking matter.

"Give him the person."

"What?"

"Big Brother?"

Song Wu and the others were shocked.

They were about to hand over the person just like that?

The advantage was clearly in their hands.

"I said, give him the person. Didn't you hear me?" Song Tian said in a low voice.

Since Shi Tao had already acknowledged that they were behind this, what use was there in keeping the hostage?

Moreover, releasing him didn't mean giving up. When they returned, not only Jiang Tao but even Shen Si and Shi Tao would be at their mercy.

Song Wu had no choice but to produce a cloth bag and toss it out.

A figure rolled out.

"Jiang Tao!"

Shen Si exclaimed and rushed over to help him up, only to find that the latter seemed soulless, his eyes empty.

Fortunately, his breath was stable and there were no visible wounds on him.

"What did you do to him?"

Shen Si looked up angrily at Song Wu.

Though Jiang Tao had betrayed him, he did not harbor hatred towards him. Because anyone captured by the Song Family would succumb to their methods.

"Why so agitated? We just gave him a Soul-Seizing Pill." Song Wu sneered.

"Soul-Seizing Pill?"

Shen Si's eyes widened. He had heard of this sinister elixir that could seize a person's mind, turning them into a vegetative state without the antidote.

"Antidote!"

He demanded urgently.

Song Wu was unmoved.

For one, he did not want to give it.

For another, he didn't have the antidote.

"Antidote."

Shi Tao stared at Song Tian.

Song Tian clenched his fists, eventually taking out a bottle and tossing it over, "Here is the antidote for the Soul-Seizing Pill. Three doses a day, one pill each time, three days later, he will recover."

Shi Tao caught the bottle but did not open it, asking, "How do I know you are telling the truth? What if you just handed me any random pills and called them the antidote to deceive me?"

"Believe it or not."

Song Tian said coldly, "I have given you the man. Now, shouldn't you step aside?"

"Until I know if this bottle contains the real antidote, I can't let you leave." Shi Tao said without hesitating.

"You!"

Song Tian was enraged.

"I, Song Tian, swear to the heavens, that what I just gave you is the antidote. If I lied, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. Now do you believe me?"

Everyone in the hall was stunned as his words fell.

Even Shi Tao did not expect the other to swear a curse.

This thwarted his plan to delay time.

Fortunately, he had other methods.

"Alright, I believe you."

He nodded, "I believe this is the antidote. But the matter of you capturing our Association's member, how will we settle that?"

"Shi Tao!"

Song Tian was furious, "You are going too far!"

"I am going too far?"

Shi Tao took a step forward, "Your Song Family intruded into our Association's headquarters, capturing our people in broad daylight, and you have the nerve to say I am going too far? Isn't it your Song Family acting recklessly?"

"You!"

Song Tian's eyes were about to bulge out.

"Patriarch Song, do you need my help?" At this moment, Carl, who had been watching, spoke cunningly.

He knew that the person called Shi Tao had strength surpassing Song Tian and others, which was why Song Tian was so humiliated earlier.

But this Shi Tao was not his match.

Even if there was another Celestial Realm Martial Artist named Elder Wang, he wouldn't fear him.

But speaking up too early would seem too eager, now was the best opportunity.

Hearing this, Song Tian was overjoyed. He was hesitating about asking for Carl's help.

"Mr. Carl if you…"

"Patriarch Song, don't be hasty. Hear me out first, then decide." Carl smiled, "This guy is quite strong. Fighting him won't be easy. Furthermore, there is a mid-stage Celestial Realm Martial Artist here, right? If I act, he might intervene, then it would be two against one, wouldn't that be too risky for me?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Carl," Song Tian nodded, remembering something, "But Mr. Carl, don't worry too much. I think that Elder Wang might not be here now."

These words caused the faces of the Martial Arts Association members to change.

"Oh? Why does Patriarch Song think that way?" Carl was curious.

"Because the earlier events were too peculiar. I worry that Elder Wang might have sought out other Celestial Realm Martial Artists to wait for our Patriarch outside. Chen Fan might just be a decoy, and Shi Tao here has been trying to delay from the start. It all proves my guess." Song Tian glared at Shi Tao,

"Mr. Carl, I am willing to offer ten million points for your assistance to the Song Family."
