Chapter Fifty-One: The Bandits Reappear

  "Shangguan Yu, you've finally returned. We were all worried sick." Li Ruolan was the first to speak up upon seeing Shangguan Yu's return.

  "Hehe, it's nothing, I was just delayed by something. Wine Old, isn't that right?" Shangguan Yu looked at Wine Old, knowing he would definitely help him come up with an excuse.

  "Yes, this little brat has some skills, but don't worry, I've already got everything under control." Wine Old Man couldn't help but praise himself even if he was just helping Guan Yu.

  Looking at Jiu Lao's self-satisfied expression, Shangguan Yu was speechless. Although he had already overestimated the thickness of Jiu Lao's face, he didn't think that he still underestimated it. Jiu Lao was talking non-stop about his glorious deeds, and even Shangguan Yu felt a flush on his face. What he didn't expect was that when Jiu Lao started lying, he really didn't hold back.

  "Shangguan Yu, you've been in the bathroom for too long, haven't you?" Li Ruolan furrowed her brow. She couldn't believe that Shangguan Yu had really spent so much time in the bathroom. She could clearly feel that Shangguan Yu was several times stronger than before. Even if she didn't know what specific experiences Shangguan Yu had gone through, she knew that this absolutely wasn't something that could be changed by just going to the bathroom.

  "Xiao Yu, you're finally back. I caught some delicious animals today, let's have a big feast!" Qin Shou's excited voice rang out from afar, his hands grasping several wild game.

  "Hmm, I was only gone for a short while, and you're already this worried about me?" Shangguan Yu smiled carelessly as he took the wild game from Qin Shou's hands and began to process it.

  "Xiao Yu, what's been going on all this time? I'm really curious, tell me about it." Qin Shou leaned in close to Shangguan Yu and asked in a low voice.

  "It's nothing, just breaking through the Earthly Warrior Realm. As for me now, I've already reached the Heavenly Warrior Realm. You'd better work hard, or you might be surpassed by me." Upper Official Yu said with a smile, but his eyebrows were indeed filled with fighting spirit.

  "Cut... I've also been waiting for you to surpass me, but it seems like you don't have much of a chance now. You might not know this, but I'm about to break through the Human Realm and reach the Earth Realm, heh heh..." Qin Shou smiled smugly, feeling quite pleased with himself as he was about to make his breakthrough.

  "It's nothing, even if you can reach the boundary, I also have a chance to catch up with you!" The face of Shangguan Yu was full of confidence, as if he really could surpass Qin Shou. His father, Emperor Yin, he didn't know how powerful he was, but he knew that he must be able to surpass Qin Shou. If he couldn't surpass Qin Shou, wouldn't that make him worse than a beast?

  But Guan Yu didn't say that sentence, anyway it's useless to say it to Qin Shou. Since Qin Shou is so confident, let him be confident then. Even if he can surpass Qin Shou, what's the point of that?

  "Xiao Yu, just tell me what exactly happened to you?" Qin Shou's curiosity was not weak either, and he grabbed Shangguan Yu and asked him desperately.

  "Yes, yes, I'd like to know too." Li Ruolan suddenly popped out, startling both Shangguan Yu and Qin Shou.

  "Alright, I'll tell you, but don't go telling others." Director Yu saw the concerned eyes of Qin Shou and Li Ruolan, and naturally couldn't bear to continue hiding it from them. He thought for a moment about his own experiences, picked out some things he could say, and told the two everything. Of course, those things that couldn't be said, he definitely didn't say.

  "Alright, you bunch of kids are all here, let's set off now!"

  After everyone finished their lunch, Jiulao said this. As the leader of this trip, Jiulao naturally had the right to decide some things. Moreover, many people like Shangguan Yu didn't understand, so they naturally needed Jiulao's guidance. Therefore, no one had any objections to Jiulao's suggestion.

  "Stop right there, I have something to ask you!" A voice sounded in the ears of Shangguan Yu and others, as if the speaker was standing beside them.

  "Who is it? What business do you have with me?" Qin Shou stepped forward and said calmly.

  "It's said that my fourteenth brother saw you before he died, is that right?"

  A figure appeared in front of Shangguan Yu, and more importantly, this figure was suspended in mid-air. Shangguan Yu also knew that a warrior who could suspend himself in mid-air was at least at the Imperial Extreme realm. Just by looking at the person's appearance, Shangguan Yu already knew that the visitor did not come with good intentions.

  Shangguan Yu furrowed his brow, "Fourteenth brother?" He recalled the Fourteenth Master who was beheaded by Badao Jun earlier. The title of Fourteenth Brother was indeed rare. And that person who claimed to be the Fourteenth Master, obviously had at least thirteen Masters above him. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that someone from the Fourteenth Master's side had come seeking revenge.

  "What's going on, Fourteenth Brother? I couldn't quite hear you, what did you say?" Officer Yu furrowed his brow and asked the figure in the distance. He understood that if he acknowledged it now, then the outcome would definitely not be good for him.

  "Don't pretend to be stupid anymore, I've already investigated clearly. Before the Fourteenth Master died, he met with you guys, do you want to deny it?" The figure asked.

  Shangguan Yu understood that this person was at least a strong practitioner of the Imperial Extreme Realm. If he wanted to take his life, it would probably be done in the blink of an eye. But now this person didn't seem to want to kill him, so what was going on? Shangguan Yu glanced at the wine old man behind him, could it be that he was being cautious because of the wine old man? But the wine old man was so mysterious and unfathomable, could the newcomer really see through his depth?

  "We didn't mean to deny it, we just really don't know anything about the Fourteenth Master's affairs!" Shangguan Yu replied in a deep voice.

  Shangguan Yu knew that if he really admitted it, then what awaited them would definitely be a fierce battle. Looking at the person in front of him, it was clear that he was in cahoots with the Fourteenth Master. He could only put on an innocent face, as for whether the other person believed him or not, it wasn't something he could control.

  "Don't deny it anymore, I know. The Fourteenth Master was killed by Jun Wu Xie. You think I'm here to ask you questions? You're wrong, I've already figured out the situation, and even if you deny it, it's useless. Zhang Dong, come out and let these people take a good look."

  Dada

  A group of people walked over, and the person standing in front was a young man. The young man pointed at Shangguan Yu and others, "Right, right, right, Ninth Master, no mistake, it's these people who killed Fourteenth Master and many brothers."

  "Hmph, what else do you have to say?" The figure suspended in mid-air spoke up.

  "What are you looking for? The one who killed is Jun Buxian, if you have the ability, go find him!" Shangguan Jiancheng finally spoke up. Along the way, the other five people didn't bother with him, and Shangguan Jiancheng had already been enduring it. Now he mentioned Jun Buxian, this so-called Ninth Master, whether or not he would kill Shangguan Yu and others he didn't know, but in any case, Jun Buxian definitely wouldn't believe Shangguan Yu and others anymore.

  Shangguan Jiancheng smiled slyly, he had also seen Junbuzhen before. He knew that Junbuzhen was a particularly overbearing person, if Junbuzhen found out that Shangguan Yu and others had directly spoken about him, then Junbuzhen would naturally not become friends with Shangguan Yu and others.

  "Shangguan Jiancheng, don't spout nonsense! The 14th generation's demise was clearly at our hands, who do you think I am?!" Shangguan Yu interrupted. He knew that Junbuzhen was currently injured, and if these bandits found him... then Junbuzhen might not see tomorrow's sunrise.

  "Haha…… do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? You think it's easy to kill the 14th master with just the few of you? It's more difficult than ascending to heaven!" The 9th master sneered and laughed, Up Official Yu's words were indeed full of loopholes. With just the few kids in front of him, how could they possibly kill the 14th master?

  "Haven't you seen? I've heard that he's the young prodigy of Duan Tian Ya, right? Hmph, daring to offend us bandits, we'll definitely make him pay the price!" Jiu Dangjia sneered.

  Shangguan Yu glared at Shangguan Jiancheng fiercely, "If you want to find Jun Bu Xian, I'm afraid it's impossible. Even if the few of us try now, we still can't find him."

  At this time, Qin Shouyan glanced at the bandits in front of him with a flattering expression. "You want to find Jun Bu Xian, right? I can show you the way, and you'll probably be able to find him by heading in that direction. I'm telling you this only because I hope you'll spare our lives."

  Li Ruolan originally wanted to despise Qin Shou, but looking at the direction Qin Shou was pointing, she didn't say anything. She understood that the direction Qin Shou pointed was completely wrong and even opposite to the direction where Jun Buxian left. She also knew that Qin Shou did this just to confuse the bandits in front of them, so what else could she say?

  "Qin Shou, how could you do this! Have you forgotten how Ge brother treated us? You've really disappointed me!" Shangguan Yu was indeed Qin Shou's good brother, and his acting skills were not bad at all.

  Qin Shou didn't get angry, he naturally saw the eye signal sent by Shangguan Yu. "You really have to believe me, I just want to survive. As long as you can spare us, everything will be fine."

  Looking at Qin Shou's pitiful appearance, even Shangguan Yu couldn't help but admire him. If he didn't know Qin Shou so well, he might have thought that Qin Shou was really afraid of death. Qin Shou's acting was too convincing, and even Xiang Tianlang and Li Wei were deceived. Didn't you see Xiang Tianlang looking at Qin Shou with disdain?

  Shangguan Yu gave the bandit opposite him a cold glance again, and to cooperate with Qin Shou's acting, he naturally had to act along. Moreover, he wasn't pretending either; even without Qin Shou's hint, he would have done so anyway.

  "Don't waste your energy, with just you people, you'll definitely won't be able to find Jun Shixiong! The Tianxuan Continent is so vast, do you think you're the Great Emperor?"

  "Alright, alright, we'll see if you can find him or not. This time I've come to execute the death penalty on all of you. If you have any last words, speak quickly, I don't have much time to waste here." The Ninth Master looked at Qin Shou and said, "As for you, I might consider sparing your life!"
