Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang sank into thought.
'If I kill him now, He Shujun will lose any chance of becoming a Soul Slave.'
'The only way would be to kill him and collect his Soul with a new Soul Crystal Stone. Once that stone is full, I could reforge him, and only then would there be a high chance of him becoming a Soul Slave.'
'At that point, none of his secrets would remain hidden.'
'However, the chances of that are low. Although the Souls inside the Crystal Stone compete for the chance to be reforged, the contest is based on the strength of their Soul Power, not their physical abilities in life. Comparatively, the odds are better if I keep him alive and force the information out of him.'
"Keep him alive for now. We'll deal with him after I've handled these other matters. The six-month period is more than halfway through, so things with the Da Yi Commerce Association should be coming to a head soon."
