Returnee in Jianghu - C13

Seeing that Jiang Xiushui had revealed his cultivation base, Zhuang Xian almost vomited blood. In his heart, he almost wanted to chop Zhuang Jingming into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

On the other side, there was still one more problem. His precious son had actually provoked another Earth rank master.

However, what made Zhuang Jingming heave a sigh of relief was that there was no reason for him to interfere with the enmity between him and Sixue Yi.

Zhuang Xianzi and that Guest Warrior Li exchanged a glance. The long spear in Zhuang Xiuzhen’s hand brought out numerous afterimages as the condensed Supreme Force struck around Sixue Yi’s body, turning the river upside down.

Sword light constantly flashed in the water, and the shadows of the spear were directly shattered by the sword light. Without waiting for her to catch her breath, Foreign Dignitary Li stepped to her side and made a move.

The attack of this Guest Warrior Li was even more tyrannical, the True Divine Spirit directly condensed into a huge fist, following the movement of his body, the fist landed on the retreating figure of Si Xueyi with a fatal pressure.

The muffled sound of the impact directly dispersed the water surface, and the water droplets visible to the naked eye were crushed into nothingness by the collisions of the Supreme Qi. It was unknown how many punches and sword strikes had been exchanged between the two. The water beneath their feet sank, as if there was an invisible force pushing it up, forcefully cutting off the flow of the river.

“Boom!”

The True Divine Spirit condensed around Sixue Yi’s body was directly dispersed by the fist power of that Guest Warrior Li, and in that short moment, his body took several punches from Guest Warrior Li. Si Xue Yi groaned. She borrowed the force of the fist to quickly step a few steps on the surface of the water. After that, she coughed and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

After all, she hadn’t been in the Earth rank for too long. Naturally, even though her power was a level higher than Zhuang Xianwei, she still couldn’t withstand the joint attacks of two Earth rank masters.

At the side, Guest Warrior Li had a slightly serious expression on his face. Si Xueyi was indeed an expert of the Sword School. Even under his forceful attack, he only suffered some internal injuries.

The long spear in Zhuang Xiuwei’s hand shook again. It didn’t give Si Xueyi any chance to catch her breath. The long spear was like a snake, striking towards the ground where Si Xueyi was standing.

Monstrous waves of water rose up dozens of feet into the air. As the might of the spear descended, it once again enveloped both sides of the river. Countless drops of water flew up, covering her figure. At this moment, a resplendent sword light shone through the curtain formed by the water droplets. The sword light carried a killing intent, and before Zhuang Xian could react, it had already arrived in front of him.

This was the most powerful strike, the ultimate strike.

The sword was too fast. It was so fast that even Zhuang Xianwei, a veteran expert, could not react in time. There was panic in Zhuang Xianwei’s eyes, but he twisted his body strangely in the air. However, what scared Zhuang Xianwei was that the sword was actually faster, and before he could dodge, it had pierced through his chest.

Blood was spreading on his chest, and in the blink of an eye, his entire chest was stained with blood. There was a look of unwillingness on Zhuang Xian’s face as he struggled to turn his head to look at Zhuang Jingming, who was staring at him with widened eyes. The corners of his mouth widened, but he did not say a single word.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. As the sword stabbed out, Zhuang Xianwei’s body fell weakly towards the river surface. And Sixue Yi, who had used her killing move, was also in a very bad state. Her pale face was filled with determination as she watched the masked guest Li who was charging towards her. She slowly raised the blade of her sword.

The face of Foreign Dignitary Li was filled with a savage smile as he glanced at Sixue Yi. A short knife suddenly appeared in his hand. The knife was extremely short and thin. The edge of the knife had a sharp sawtooth on it, and it gave off a bone-chilling cold. Those sawteeth were very dense, and anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that it was a ferocious weapon.

The True Handle on Li Guiqing’s body violently surged, astonishingly, he was even more powerful than before. Before he even reached Si Xueyi, the short blade in his hand was thrown out by Li Guiqing. Wrapped in True Divine, the short blade let out an ear-piercing howl and directly appeared in front of Sixue Yi.

SiXue Yi’s expression was calm. Even in death, his expression didn’t change in the slightest. The sword in his hand was moving with great effort. However, judging from the speed of the short blade, it was likely that Si Xue Yi would not be able to block this short blade. Everyone seemed to have seen the brutal scene in front of them. The short knife would pierce through her face and finally kill her.

However, just when the timid man had already closed his eyes and was preparing to dodge the blade light, a light sword qi appeared in front of Si Xue Yi, blocking the blade light for her.

Foreign Dignitary Li’s eyes were cold as he looked at Jiang You Yu who was standing on the shore with his hands behind his back. His aura was still surging crazily. Zhuang Xianwei was already dead. If anyone could stop him from taking action, it would be the river and the fish on the shore.

“What do you mean?” Foreign Dignitary Li sensed the solemn True Divine fluctuation on Jiang Youyu’s body. It was likely that he was already at the peak of the Earth rank. Such a cultivation base far exceeded his own. As such, a trace of fear appeared on Foreign Dignitary Li’s face.

After that, the figure moved and directly landed beside Si Xueyi, “It’s not that interesting, but I can’t see that you guys, Thirteen Mountain, are too arrogant. Saying that you’ve saved this man surnamed Si is a little too much.”

Guest Warrior Li did not understand the logic of Jiang Youyu. However, when he saw the faint killing intent that Jiang Youyu was emitting at him, Guest Warrior Li, who had always been cautious, frowned and took a few steps back. No one knew where this Earth rank expert had come from. To be safe, Foreign Dignitary Li gave up on the idea of killing Si Xue Yi.

After all, he was only a guest of Thirteen Mountain, so there was no need for him to risk his life fighting with an earth rank expert for the Thirteen Mountain, which was already dead. Guest Warrior Li let out a cold snort. He stared at Jiang Youyu for a few moments before picking up Zhuang Xiuwei’s corpse from the water and returning to the shore.

Following the retreat of this Guest Warrior Li, Sixue Yi glanced at Jiang Youyu. Her body shook and was about to collapse onto the river. Jiang Youyu stretched out her hand and pulled Si Xueyi onto the shore. Then she gave a look to Old Gu, who was hiding behind a big tree, and led him towards the inn.

Along the way, no one dared to obstruct Jiang Youyu and his group. Even Guest Warrior Li, who was always respected by the mountain lord, was afraid of this young man, not to mention these small fries who had yet to even touch the yellow rank.

Thus, Jiang Youyu returned to the inn without a hitch.

“Shopkeeper, help me open the door.” Jiang Youyu had already retracted her aura, but her steps were a bit unsteady. Once she entered the inn, she immediately had the shopkeeper open the door to Si Xueyi’s guest room.

The shopkeeper was standing at the door looking towards Warm Spring Lane. Seeing Jiang Youyu carry Si Xueyi back to the inn, he hurriedly went over to help, “What’s going on? “How did this trip become like this?”

The shopkeeper looked at the pale face of Si Xueyi as if she was a dying person and hurriedly asked Jiang You Yu.

“Sigh, this brother has probably not seen a woman for a long time. I went to that Warm Spring Lane to reminisce with Shi Shi about old times. I just saw him getting beaten up like this. I reckon he went to that Warm Spring Lane to look for a lady but didn’t give me any money. After all, I live under the same roof as this brother, so I helped to drag him back. ” Jiang Youyu’s mouth full of nonsense was free and easy. Looking at the shopkeeper’s expression that said ‘I’ll believe you’, he asked, “What? You don’t believe me?” I don’t believe that when this brother wakes up, you can confirm it with him. ”

Jiang Youyu acted like she was being honest, looking at the shopkeeper who went upstairs to open the door for Si Xueyi.

“It’s not that you don’t believe that this brother doesn’t have money for the girl.” The shopkeeper opened the door and glanced back at the fish in the river before helping Old Gu to carry Si Xue Yi in.

“Then, Manager, what do you mean by that expression?” Jiang Youyu was stunned for a moment before he asked the shopkeeper this question.

“What do you think?” The shopkeeper blinked as he watched Jiang Youyu. Then he saw that there was no hot water in the room, so he went out to get some.

“Sigh, there is someone who believes in lies now, but why does no one believe the truth?” Jiang Youyu had a vexed expression. Then, she looked at Si Xue Yi who was lying on the bed. With a pained expression on her face, she took out a jade colored bottle from her chest pocket.

“Just give him this’ Origin Strengthening Pill ‘. I’ve really made a loss this time. When I go to the sword sect next time, I’ll definitely make Jian Chi pay a huge price.” Jiang Youyu took out a light yellow pill from the jade bottle. With eyes filled with reluctance, she stretched her hand out a few times. In the end, without even looking at Old Gu, she let Old Gu take the ‘Origin Strengthening Pill’ from her palm.

Old Gu held onto Si Xueyi’s body and listened to Jiang Youyu swear the oath in his heart. He prayed for the kid from the Sword School.

“Cough cough!”

Jiang Youyu furrowed his brows as he coughed twice. He looked at Si Xueyi who laid down after consuming the Energy Strengthening Pill and waved to Gu Shenwei, who was looking at him worriedly. Then, he walked out of the room.

Deep in the night, there was silence on the Thirteen Mountain, but in the silence, there was also depression on the Thirteen Mountain.

In the main hall of the Thirteen Mountain, Zhuang Xianwei’s corpse, covered in white cloth, was placed on the ground in the middle of the hall. Around him were all the leaders of the Thirteen Mountain, big and small. At this moment, the leaders were all communicating by looking at each other. Their eyes contained many hidden meanings.

In front of the main hall, Zhuang Jingming was silently looking at the corpses lying on the floor with a livid expression.

Beside Zhuang Jingming, the masked Guest Warrior of the Thirteenth Mountain glanced at Yin Shi who was standing not far behind Zhuang Jingming. Upon receiving the latter’s gaze, he gave a light cough towards Zhuang Jingming.

“Young master, it’s almost dawn. Why don’t you go back and lie down for a while? When Mister Feng Shui arrives, I’ll get someone to call for you.” Foreign Dignitary Li’s words, at the very least, contained respect for Zhuang Jingming, and the meaning behind his words was to think for Zhuang Jingming’s sake at all times.

Finally, he opened his mouth and said, “Jingming thanks Uncle Li for his concern. However, my father has just passed away, and the culprit has not been executed, so how can I sleep now? Everyone’s probably gone. They stood up for the entire night and went back to rest early. ”

Zhuang Jingming’s gaze swept across the entire hall, completely ignoring the silent discussion that was taking place between the two of them. Then, he waved to the crowd and the leaders of the thirteen mountains all looked at each other. Then, they cupped their fists towards Zhuang Jingming and left the hall one by one.

Guest Warrior Li looked at the empty halls and exchanged a glance with Yin Shi Shi who had walked to Zhuang Jingming’s side. He then sighed and said, “Young Manor Lord, please grieve.”

“Zhuang gongzi…” Yin Shishi’s face revealed a hint of self-blame, as she looked towards Zhuang Jingming with watery eyes, “It’s all my fault. If I didn’t accompany young master to see the moon, your esteemed self might not have …”

Zhuang Jingming looked at Yin Shishi’s self-reproachful expression, and the coldness on his face finally disappeared a little, “If you want to be wrong, it’s my fault. I insisted on inviting you to watch the moon with me, so you don’t have to blame yourself. You have also accompanied me for the greater part of the night. Let Cui Er accompany you to rest early and let me rest here by myself. ”

“Young Master… “Sigh, then I’ll be going to rest. Young master, please grieve for me.” Yin Shi Shi sighed softly. Soon after, the maidservant that was waiting outside the hall entered the store and helped Yin Shi Shi out of the hall.

With a ‘squeak’ sound, the doors of the great hall were reunited. Standing outside of the great hall, it seemed as if someone was waiting for them. Seeing Yin Shi Shi exit the great hall, Foreign Dignitary Li pointed towards a quiet place a little further away from the Thirteen Mountain’s main hall before quickly walking over.

Outside the Thirteenth Mountain’s Main Hall, Yin Shishi, who was following Guest Warrior Li, stopped far away from him. Her face, which was covered by a veil and only had her eyes exposed, no longer had that tender feeling.

“Let Zhuang Jingming take Zhuang Xianfeng’s place. We can just stand behind the scenes. That Luanshui should be close enough, as long as that Luanshui’s Second Young Master Sun knows what’s good for him, he will naturally do as we wish. ” The words that came out of Yin Shi Shi’s mouth were a little cold, but the underlying coldness in those words was even more shocking.

“I didn’t expect that the disciples of the Sword School would actually be able to kill Zhuang Xianwei. This would also save us the trouble of making a move.” “However, I’m afraid that Zhuang Jingming will not be able to sit in this position, right?” The words of Foreign Dignitary Li, who was masked and masked, seemed to be implying something. His eyes were staring at Yin Shi Shi, waiting for her reply.

“Don’t forget your status. What we need to do now is to control Luanluan and the thirteen mountains, not to cause a ruckus for the position of the Lord of the thirteen mountains. “No, even if that person were to blame us, I’m afraid you would not be able to take responsibility for it.” Yin Shi Shi glanced coldly at Foreign Dignitary Li before turning around to leave.

Foreign Dignitary Li’s eyes carried a trace of maliciousness as he looked at Yin Shi Shi’s back. He snorted coldly and walked in the opposite direction.

The black crows in the night cried out and entered the forest on the mountain. The green light in the east also slowly turned orange.
