Chapter 1075: Chapter 426: The Heavenly Tablet Appears
Inside the room, the lantern carrying old man spoke astonishing words.
Shi Cheng’s face became extremely unsightly:
“Head… head swapping technique?”
“The Young Island Master knows quite a lot indeed.”
The lantern carrying old man said with a smile:
“But, eventually the skull would decay, so what then?”
“This…”
Shi Cheng was momentarily stunned: “Could it be…”
“Swapping heads is merely a trivial skill.”
The lantern carrying old man softly said:
“Swapping brains is the grand path!”
“This is impossible…”
Shi Cheng instinctively shook his head: “The head swapping technique is already shocking, brain swapping… that’s even more unheard of.”
“Moreover, you just now mentioned that a human head would decay, doesn’t a human brain decay as well?”
“The ignorant masses are naturally unaware of the Island Master’s divine skills.”
The lantern carrying old man smiled faintly:
“The Island Master’s methods have long surpassed the capabilities of ordinary doctors.
“Extract the brain and place it in a vat, soaking it in medicine liquid.
“After ten years, the brain does not decay.
“Take it out and place it into another’s skull, connecting life and death with the red spider lily.
“And they live!
“Their mannerisms entirely in keeping with their former self.”
“Senior, stop joking with me…
“Where did you get these madman’s notes?
“It’s all just fantasy, completely unrealistic.”
Shi Cheng gently shook his head, his words full of caution.
The lantern carrying old man then moved closer to him, smiling as he asked:
“Does the Young Island Master truly not believe what this old man says?”
“I…”
“I fear you already believe, don’t you?”
The lantern carrying old man said with a smile:
“Besides, believe it or not, right now on the Young Island Master’s head, from here…”
His finger lightly touched Shi Cheng’s hairline, tracing a line around half of his head.
Causing Shi Cheng to break out in a cold sweat.
“All the way to here…”
The lantern carrying old man continued: “Unavoidably, it all needs to be sliced open. Remove the skull and take out the brain. Then replace it with the Island Master’s brain…
“When the Young Island Master awakens once again.
“We shall address you as…
“Island Master.”
Shi Cheng clenched his teeth at what he heard, unable to suppress his anger:
“How dare you act so recklessly?”
“Longmu Island is secluded, so even if there were things against worldly laws…
“Who would care?”
The lantern carrying old man chuckled lightly: “And this time, after the Island Master swaps your body, he can then leave Longmu Island in a justifiable manner.
“Officially presiding over Nanhai…
“Imagine, the heir of the Nanhai Martial Elder Shi Shengtian.
“Coupled with the identity of the Dragon Wood Island Master.
“Enough to secure a place for Longmu Island in the Jianghu!”
Shi Cheng looked at him coldly.
The lantern carrying old man was all smiles.
In the end, Shi Cheng sighed deeply, his words astonishing:
“Speak, what do you want me to do?”
The lantern carrying old man was not the least bit surprised:
“This old man wishes to… save your life!”
“Save my life?”
Shi Cheng’s brow furrowed slightly: “Why should I believe you?”
“Do you have a choice now?”
The lantern carrying old man’s smile was unchanged.
“Yes, I do.”
Shi Cheng smiled.
“…”
Seeing this, the lantern carrying old man sighed softly:
“Why don’t you tell me?”
“If I indeed had no choice, why would you bother with all this nonsense with me?
“Since you told me all this, you must have at least two purposes.
“First, to plunge me into despair.
“A thread of hope in despair is incredibly precious.
“Secondly, to make me obey you…
“You propose to save my life, the unfolding events will naturally change.
“If I obey you, it’s one version, if I don’t, it’s another.
“For example, how are you going to save my life?
“What should I do?
“If I don’t need to do anything, you don’t need to tell me so much.
“You could save me without my awareness.
“You’ve said so much, can’t be just for me to thank you, right?
“If it is, then I sincerely thank you now?”
“…”
The lantern carrying old man scrutinized Shi Cheng carefully, then suddenly smiled:
“Anything else?”
“No… you just want to say that you want to save me, make me believe you, and then I must cooperate with you to do something.
“And what you need to do now boils down to two things.
“One is to be open and honest, tell me why I should believe you.
“The other is… tell me how I should cooperate with you?”
“Should I say, it’s truly worthy of being the heir of Nanhai Martial Elder Shi Shengtian?”
The lantern carrying old man’s expression was somewhat surprised, then smiled and said:
“But this wasn’t at all like the person who came ashore that night.”
“Enough with the nonsense, will you tell me or not?”
Shi Cheng’s face at this moment no longer had the naive and amiable look from when he first landed on the island.
Although unable to move, the light in his eyes was rather sharp.
The lantern carrying old man sighed deeply:
“This old man is not originally from Longmu Island…”
“Oh?”
Shi Cheng couldn’t help but look at the lantern carrying old man.
“This old man was from… the Shattered Star Sect.”
The lantern carrying old man took a deep breath: “My true name… Meng Feifan!”
“You are Meng Feifan?”
Shi Cheng’s expression suddenly changed: “The current Sect Master of the Shattered Star Sect, Meng Tianyuan’s son? But… Meng Tianyuan is only seventy now, if you’re his son, how could you be… this age?”
The lantern carrying old man said nothing, he casually pulled off the black cloth that hung down from the brim of his hat.
Revealing half of another face.
It’s the face of a middle-aged man, although only half of it, one can vaguely see the charm of his youth.
