Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 611: Burmese Taming Master

At around twilight, I was hungry. I went to the street to have some food.Before I entered the hotel, I bumped into a man rushing out. All the food Ihadbrought back forSenior Shuwasscatteredon the ground.

I was mad, but the man looked as though he had something very urgent to do. He didn’t even say sorryand left.

“Where do you think you’re running to?!”

Senior Shurushed downstairs. When he saw me, he was surprised. Then, he angrily yelled,“Kid, after him! Hurry up!”

I got it now. That manwas a possible suspect. I gritted my teethandchased after him.

Senior Shu, is he thetaming master?” I asked while running.

When I bumped into himon thepatio, I saw his face. Although he didn’t have a nice appearance, he didn’t give meabrutal feeling. In short, he didn’t look like ataming masterto me.

Senior Shuwore a dark face. Hiseyeskepttabsonthe man running ahead of us.

The sky was dark now, and there weren’t many people on the street to the suburbs. I felt something was strange.

I frowned and asked, “Senior Shu, don’tyou feel that man’s strange?”

“Ah?”Senior Shugruntedskeptically. He halted. The other man also halted. He looked as though he was waiting for us.

I finally got it.“Senior Shu, he seems tobe luringus somewhere! We didn’t bring anything with us. If we follow him, I’m afraid it won’t be safe.”

While talking,I got a message on my phone.I read the message and my heart sank. Instinctively, I clenched my fists.

“What happened?”

“Baji said that another tombonthe mountain has been robbed!” I gritted my teeth.

Senior Shulooked surprised. Then, he said resolutely, “We should get that man first.”

I nodded. Then, whileSenior Shuwas running ahead of me, I discreetly read the spell to beckon a spirit. Immediately, I asked the little ghost I’d invitedto carry me away from this place.

It wasn’t Baji who had sent me the message. It wasfrom Senior Shu. He didn’t see me anywhere when he woke up, so he texted me to ask me where I was.

After receiving the text, Iunderstood the situation. TheSenior Shuin front of me was fake. Thetaming masterhad impersonated him, and the despicable-looking man that was trying to lure me wasaghost oralow-ranking corpse thetaming masterwas keeping.

His moves were stiff. When he ran, his limbs didn’t coordinate well. Previously, Iwas in a rush,so I didn’tnoticethese features.

It wouldn’t be practical to sendSenior Shua text now. Thatwaswhy Ilaidall of myhopesona random wild ghost.

Shortlyafter I read the spell, a little ghost came and took me away.Once Senior Shu’s figure disappeared from theview, I sighed in relief.

But then, I found something was wrong. At this speed, it would take this little ghost only five minutes to take me back to the hotel. However,we’d been moving for twenty minutes already, and ithadn’t stopped. I smelled danger here. I grabbed the talismans in my pocketandcoldlyshouted, “Where do you want to take me?”

As soon as I said that, the ghost turned to me. I finally saw its face. This ghost was wearing traditional Burmese clothes and had a few piercing studs on his brows.Hewas a Burmese ghost.

I suddenly recognized thatthe ghost I had beckoned was probably prepared bythetaming master.Senior Shuhad told me that thistaming masterhad the taming skills of the masters from the South Sea.

The South Sea was the old collective name for Vietnam, Myanmar, and the other Southeast Asian countries. As this ghost was wearing Burmese clothes, thetaming masterwasclearlyfrom Myanmar.

I was enraged. I took out a talisman and palmed it on the ghost. The ghost shivered then slowed down.

Before I could heave a sigh of relief, the ghostbecame crazy. It started movingfaster and faster. I tried a few moretimesandended up using all of mytalismans. Yet,the ghost was still running.

It seemed thetaming masterwanted to kill me tonight! I gave upstruggling asI needed to save my energy.

The only weaponsI had now that could expel the evil spirit werethe bloodfromthe tip of my tongue and my fingers. And, I could invite someimmortals. Inacritical moment, I could invite Lu Dongbin to assist me.

Half an hour later, the ghost finally stopped. Before I could land safely, the ghost fled. I fell from a height of two or three meters in midair. My back hit a rock. My throat felthot,and I spat out a mouthful of blood.

I endured the paininmy back and got up. I looked around and found myself in the middle of the playgroundinan abandoned school.

In front of me was a row of seriously damaged classrooms. The building had three floors, and thered-paintedslogan was still visible.The foot of the buildingwascovered with grass while the roof was rickety with rusted steel pipes. The entire schoollookedpitch black except for the last roomonthe first floor which had flickeringcandlelight.

Thetaming master’s in there!

I turned and saw that the gate of the school was also in that direction. Without thinking much, I wanted to seize this chance to run away.

When I reached the gate, anotheroneappeared in front of me, identical tothe previous one. I took a deep breathanddisbelievingly turned around.The gate I had just passed throughturned out to be theone by theclassrooms.

“Damn it!” I cursed and unbuckled my belt. I pulled itout of my trousers andheldit in my hand. With rage, I stormed toward the room with thecandlelight.

Not onlycould thetaming mastercontrol the tamed corpse, but he could alsoassumesomeone else’s appearance. And now, he was controlling something that looked like anillusionmaze. He sure was intimidating! I knew I had to engage in a fight with him to get out of here. Moreover, that dudedid not seem to wantto leave his room.

When Igotthere, I noticed it was an office. I kicked the door open.

A tan-skinned manofaround forty or fifty years old was sitting in the office. The man’s eyes sparkled maliciouslyasheadmiredsomething in his hand. I recognized it was a skin mask.

“Appearance Shifting Technique?” Seeing the realtaming master, I blurtedout instinctively.

He nodded, then pointed at a wooden stick next to him. He spoke with amusement.“This is what you have been chasing after.”

“You’re quite something, aren’t you?” I wore a smile on the surface, but Iquietlytook a deep breath. He was much tougher than I had imagined.

Thetaming masterfuriously snarled, “Every profession has its own rule. What do you and that old manlike so muchto disturb my business? You even killed my tamed corpses!”

“Rule?” I sneered andsaidwith disdain,“You unearthed other people’stombs. Did you talk about the rule at that time? Moreover, a foreigner like you is robbing tombs in China. Any Chinese withaconsciencewouldn’t accept that!”

I knew thistaming masterwas intimidating. To avoidapassive situation, I immediately kicked him as soon as I said that.

It seemed thetaming masterhad expected my attack. He swiftly took a step backward and knocked me to the ground.

“Go die!” His face twisted evilly. He took out a Nepalese saber that was glowing in the lightand aimed itright at my throat!
