Chapter 29: The Wine Old Man Returns, Shangguan Yu is Perplexed

  In other people's eyes, Shangguan Yu was completely destroyed by this punch. It was too terrifying, a single punch that annihilated a person in this world, without even leaving behind a drop of blood.

  Shangguan Xinghong's eyes were filled with doubt, this punch was powerful, but it shouldn't be able to defeat Shangguan Yu so thoroughly. However, thinking about how he had silently and effortlessly rescued Shangguan Yu, it seemed that no one in the Feiyu Empire could have done it. "Could it be that he was saved by Jiuyi?"

  "No, I'm too late, can't save that kid." The wine old man appeared again, but his face didn't look too good.

  "What? Wine Old, no, senior forgive me, Shangguan Xinghong didn't mean to offend you." Shangguan Xinghong was so scared that he immediately knelt down. It would be easy for Wine Old to take his life. However, hearing with his own ears that Wine Old hadn't saved Shangguan Yu, he became even more puzzled. That waste should have been dead already.

  The wine was old, but it didn't have the flavor of a surprised official, instead it had gone to the place where the official Yu disappeared. It was this kind of aura that looked down on all eight directions, dominated the world, and seemed to be above the nine heavens. Until now, he still can't figure out what kind of person could leave behind such an aura?

  "Hand over the Lingguo fruit and I'll spare your dog life!" Wine Old stretched out one hand, looking at Shangguan Jinghong.

  "But it's not that I'm unwilling to give it to my senior. It's just that this Spirit Fruit has already been promised to King Weiwu, and now it doesn't belong to me." Shangguan Xingyun saw that Jiu Lao didn't plan to take the lead for Shangguan Yu, and immediately put down his worries. As for the Spirit Fruit, he didn't want to get involved, let King Weiwu and Jiu Lao discuss it themselves.

  The old wine turned his head towards Wu Wang, and his eyes were self-evident.

  The King's eyes flickered, "I never thought of breaking the old rules of wine, it was all done by Shangguan Xinghong alone. I am naturally willing to give the Ling fruit to Lao Jiu, but I don't know how Lao Jiu will arrange this Ling fruit?" In his opinion, Shangguan Xinghong was clearly pulling him into the water, he not only didn't get any benefits, but also made Lao Jiu unhappy.

  "This old man will handle it, it's none of your business." With a wave of his hand, Qin Shou flew from the hands of Wei Wu Wang to his side. He gently patted Qin Shou's head before turning back to look at Shangguan Jinghong.

  Shangguan Xinghong had no choice but to take out the Tongling fruit and respectfully present it to Jiu Lao. In front of Jiu Lao, he didn't dare to play any tricks, that would be no different from seeking death.

  Now that Shangguan Yu, that trash, is dead, his goal this time can be considered achieved. However, thinking of Zhī Jué Wáng, he got a headache, and at the right time, he will definitely use that trump card.

  "Xiao Yu, where's Xiao Yu?" Qin Shou shouted as soon as he woke up. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Shangguan Jinghong. "Shangguan Jinghong, did you kill Xiao Yu? If Xiao Yu is dead, I will definitely exterminate your entire clan!"

  Jiu Lao shook his head, this kid is still too young. When he was weak and small, and the enemy let out such a ruthless remark, wasn't it clear that they would cut him down to the root? Forget it, since I couldn't save that little guy earlier, now I'll just save this child instead.

  As expected, Shangguan Xinghong heard this sentence and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. He also saw Qin Shou's talent, reaching the realm of a general at the age of twelve, and it was very likely that he would surpass him in the future. If he didn't eliminate Qin Shou now, he would become a great threat in the future.

  "Do not ignore the old man's existence, you have violated the old man's rules, now go down the mountain." With a wave of his hand, Shangguan Xinghong and Shangguan Jiancheng disappeared from everyone's sight.

  Shangguan Jiancheng felt dizzy and thought that Jiu Lao wouldn't kill him, would he? When he realized that Jiu Lao could sense the movements of the entire mountain, he knew he was in trouble. At the foot of the mountain, he had cursed Jiu Lao so badly, definitely not a good omen. Didn't he see that Zhang San came up safely, while he himself was bitten by wolves several times before making it up?

  "Dad, we're not dead, we're not dead, haha..." Shangguan Jiancheng looked around at the surroundings and excitedly called out to Shangguan Jinghong.

  "Hmph, you useless thing, I'll make sure you pay for this when we get back." Shangguan Jinghong didn't even turn his head and walked straight towards Feiyu City. Shangguan Jiancheng shrank his neck and followed behind Shangguan Jinghong as they headed back.

  Although the old wine didn't say anything, Qin Shou also knew that it was the old wine who saved his life. A great kindness doesn't need to be thanked, and he didn't think there was anything he could do to help the old wine now. However, he would remember this kindness in his heart and return it when he had the chance in the future.

  "That kid is gone, so you can take this Soul Revival Fruit!" The wine old man handed the Soul Revival Fruit to Qin Shou, his eyes revealing an unyielding tone, "I believe he would also want you to have it!"

  Qin Shou did not accept it. This was for Shangguan Yu, how could he take it himself? He stared stubbornly at the wine old man, with an expression that absolutely refused to use the Tongling fruit.

  Others, however, cursed Qin Shou in their hearts for being ungrateful. If they had this Spirit Awakening Fruit, they would have swallowed it without hesitation. Now that Shangguan Yu was dead, what was the point of keeping this fruit? Could it even bring people back to life?

  "Aren't you seeking revenge? With your current state, you won't have any chance at all. Only if you consume the Soul Revival Fruit will you have a chance to take revenge in the future, do you understand?" The wine old man's expression was stern and his tone severe. However, in his heart, he was secretly laughing. That little kid hadn't died after all. With that little kid's bloodline, where would they need something like the Soul Revival Fruit? Deceiving this little kid now was indeed a bit underhanded, but it was also for the little kid's own good.

  Yes, to avenge oneself must have great power, without enough power how can one avenge? But this was left behind by Shangguan Yu, and Qin Shou hesitated for a moment.

  Jiu Lao didn't give Qin Shou any time to hesitate, his left hand pinched Qin Shou's mouth shut, and his right hand directly stuffed the Tong Ling fruit into it. With his right hand, he lifted Qin Shou's chin up, and then patted Qin Shou's mouth. Just like that, Qin Shou unknowingly swallowed the Tong Ling fruit.

  Qin Shou suddenly felt a warm current rushing into his dantian, the warm current gradually turned into a hot current, he felt that his body was about to burn up. He didn't dare to slack off, since he had already taken it, regretting it wouldn't do any good, refining it properly was the key. Qin Shou sat down in a cross-legged position and started circulating the yuanqi inside his body.

  "You all go down the mountain too, he has taken the Lingguo fruit and can't move for the time being!" Wine Old only said this, without asking anyone's opinion at all. He waved his hand again, and everyone else was sent to the foot of the mountain.

  This time's experience was rewarding for these people. Only Shangguan Xinghong lost his wife and soldiers, so naturally they would distance themselves from the Shangguan family after returning, or even harbor resentment towards them. This time, Shangguan Xinghong had brought so many enemies to the Shangguan family, really suffering a great loss. If he knew that Shangguan Yu hadn't died, he would probably be furious enough to spit blood.

  "What is this place? How did I end up here?" Shangguan Yu looked around in confusion, "Is anyone there?"

  Shangguan Yu's voice echoed through the valley, but unfortunately, there was no response. He was standing in a valley surrounded by mountains, with no way out. The valley was empty and desolate, with only him inside, not even an animal in sight.

  Shangguan Yu furrowed his brow, Shangguan Xinghong's punch was something he couldn't have blocked, but what was going on now? Had he died? But this place was completely different from the hell of legend, and there was no sign of Heibai Wuchang either. His stomach was full of questions, unfortunately, there was no one to enlighten him.

  He thought he was definitely not dead, and the punch from Shangguan Xinghong seemed to have missed his body. He wasn't clear how he got here, now he just wanted to leave this place. If he stayed here any longer, he would either suffocate or starve to death.

  "I can't stay here forever, I still have many things to do. My parents, Master, Qin Shou, Xiao Qingcheng, and Xiao Guizi are all waiting for me." Shangguan Yu muttered to himself, "I must leave this place, great difficulties will not kill me, there must be good fortune afterwards!"

  Shangguan Yu walked to the foot of a mountain peak, climbed over this mountain peak, and he would definitely be able to leave here. He stepped up step by step, his hands didn't know how many times they were worn out, and his feet didn't know how much blood was shed. But the more the mountain peak went upwards, the steeper it became, and he simply couldn't climb up.

  No matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he struggled, he just couldn't climb over these mountains. He had tried every mountain, but none of them could be climbed to the top, let alone crossed. Fortunately, his spatial ring stored a lot of dry food, otherwise he would have starved to death long ago.

  Shangguan Yu stood once again in the mountain valley, his eyes filled with determination. "If I can't get past these peaks, then I'll flatten them!" His voice echoed repeatedly through the valley, as if mocking him for being unable to complete this task forever.

  He pulled out a knife and started digging at the foot of the mountain. With no good tools, he could only use one knife by himself, desperately digging from the foot of the mountain. Gradually, the knife wore out and cracked, and he had to switch to another weapon to continue digging. The knife was useless, so he switched to a sword to dig. The sword was useless, so he switched to a spear to dig. The spear was useless, so he switched to a halberd to dig. In the end, he could only use the fragments of his weapons to dig.

  Unfortunately, he was disappointed again. These mountain peaks are all the same, after digging halfway, those rocks are harder than anything and can't be dug at all. He tried his best, but could only leave some scratches on it.

  "Why? Why is it like this?" Shangguan Yu roared, "I don't believe it! I must become a strong one, and this setback can't defeat me!" His expression remained firm, he wouldn't give up. He had gone without food for several days, and his strength was also exhausted, but he still hadn't given up.

  He lay on the ground, and suddenly this world was filled with golden light. He saw that the clouds in the sky formed a line of words.

  "The four cardinal directions, east, south, west and north, three sides are dead, one side is alive. Following one direction to the end, this place becomes a dream."

  Boom

  Only in the southeast and west directions did a golden gate appear.

  In 2012, a new year, our protagonist Shangguan Yu will also usher in the biggest turning point of his life. Let's witness Shangguan Yu's growth together!
