Si Wuya held the box with one hand as he said, “We can’t tell anyone about this, lest they covet the treasures of the Evil Sky Pavilion . ”
Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, said nonchalantly, “Seventh Senior Brother, there are plenty of them who are hungrily eyeing the Evil Sky Pavilion like a predator . Another person won’t make a difference . ”
“No, I’m talking about this box in particular . ” If it was some extraordinary treasure, it would definitely cause chaos if people knew about it . He carried the box back into the Tiger Ridge as Zhu Honggong trailed after him .
A flying chariot that looked like a ship was parked on the ground . A dozen cultivators dressed in light-color robes stood around it . When Si Wuya appeared, they bowed in unison . “Sect Master . ”
Si Wuya tossed the mysterious box into the flying chariot before he leaped inside . “Head to Anyang . ”
“Understood . ”
Whoosh!
The dozen cultivators channeled their Primal Qi at the same time . The huge flying chariot that was powered by the Formation veins and Primal Qi slowly rose into the air . Before it flew away, it paused for a moment .
Si Wuya said calmly, “Old Eighth, don’t do anything to attract attention to yourself for now . The pact between the Fiend Temple and the Righteous Sect has collapsed . They won’t be challenging the Evil Sky Pavilion, but they’ll come for you . ”
When Zhu Honggong heard this, he shuddered and spoke with an aggrieved tone, “Senior brother, this was all your idea . Why am I shouldering the blame?”
Si Wuya calmly looked in Anyang’s direction as he said, “Although Zhang Yuanshan has openly taunted the Evil Sky Pavilion many times, that man is actually a big coward . He’s afraid of dying . Otherwise, he would’ve rushed back to the Green Jade Altar when you and master showed up . With his cultivation base in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm, he’s more than capable of doing so . ”
“Still, it’s unfair that I have to shoulder the blame . ”
“Men like him share a common trait; they’re afraid of the strong, but they pick on the weak . ” As soon as Si Wuya finished speaking, the flying chariot flew away .
A slight frown could be seen on Zhu Honggong’s face . In other words, Zhang Yuanshan thought the Tiger Ridge Gang was a pushover? He bowed slightly at the flying chariot that was growing smaller and smaller in the distance . “Have a safe journey, Senior brother . ” When he straightened his body, he said with a scoff, “I’m not a pushover . ”
Two hours later .
The flying chariot landed slowly near Anyang . Si Wuya emerged from the flying chariot and looked up at the city .
One of Si Wuya’s subordinates walked over and said, “Sect Master, we’ve cleared the surroundings . Nobody will find out about your movements . ”
Si Wuya nodded . “Wait here . I’ll be back soon . ”
“Sect Master, Senior Sword Devil is known to spend his time in the city recently . What if Senior Sword Devil is angered by your sudden visit?”
Si Wuya glanced at him and said, “You’re wrong about Second Senior Brother… I’ll make my own judgments . ”
“Understood . ”
Si Wuya raised a hand . The mysterious box in the flying chariot flew into his palm .
Meanwhile . On the third floor of a restaurant in Anyang City . From the window here, one could see the entire Anyang City .
A green-clad swordsman was pouring himself some wine .
The entire restaurant was empty . There were no other guests .
A waiter trembled as he stood at the side . He would look at the green-clad swordsman furtively every once in a while .
The green-clad swordsman suddenly asked, “How much longer?”
“From… from Bluesun to… to Anyang… takes an hour . He should be… h-here by now . ” The waiter stumbled through his words when he spoke .
“There’s no need to be afraid… There’s wine and some dishes here . Have a seat and drink with me,” the green-clad swordsman said calmly .
“No, no, no… I dare not . I’ll just stand here… It’s nice standing here…” A chill ran up the waiter’s spine when he heard the green-clad swordsman’s words .
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Someone was coming up the stairs .
Several cultivators arrived on the third floor . There were one cultivator in the Divine Court realm, two in the Brahman Sea realm, six in the Sense Condensing realm, and three in the Mystic Enlightening realm .
Apart from the green-clad swordsman and the waiter, there was only a table, a chair, and enough food and wine for one person on the third floor of the restaurant .
The green-robed cultivator glanced at these cultivators . He continued pouring himself some wine and said calmly, “Leave the Bluesun mounted brigand here . The others may leave . ”
The waiter behaved as though he had been pardoned from the death penalty . He hastily bowed and said, “Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!” He ran away quicker than a hare and disappeared down the stairs .
The cultivators looked at the green-robed swordsman with a puzzled expression on their faces .
A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader of the group sensed the green-clad swordsman’s peculiar aura . He cupped his hands together and asked, “Who are you, dear sir?”
The green-robed swordsman did not deign to answer the middle-aged man’s question . Instead, he asked, “Are you all the mounted brigands from Bluesun Mountain?”
“Calling us mounted brigands sounds harsh… We’re only trying to make a living and make ends meet . It’s not easy for us to keep this restaurant up and running . I hope that you won’t give us any trouble, dear sir . ”
“In that case… that’s easy . ” The green-clad swordsman raised his wine cup and finished it in one go . He was speaking calmly in the beginning . However, with just a drop of a hat, his tone changed . “I’m sorry, but can you end your own lives? My sword doesn’t like to be tainted by the blood of low-level cultivators . ”
The cultivators were shocked by this, instinctively taking a step back .
“Who are you, sir?”
The green-clad swordsman put his wine cup down . He smiled faintly as he said, “I’m Yu Shangrong . ”
“The Sword Devil?!”
The cultivators did not even try to verify it was true, they instantly turned tail .
Bam! Bam! Bam!
At the stairs, a formidable wall of energy blocked their escape .
The green-clad swordsman continued to pour himself some wine and drank it . It was as though he did not see any of this .
The dozen cultivators began to panic .
Without any warning, many hidden energy weapons shot toward them from outside the restaurant . There were sparkles of gold as a peacock’s plumes shot toward them .
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The weapons penetrated the low-level cultivators’ chests with utmost precision . Some of them even looked like hedgehogs .
The green-clad swordsman did not even bother to look up . He merely shook his head lightly . He put his cup of wine down and said in a slightly teasing tone, “Junior Brother, you’ve spoiled my mood . I was enjoying a nice drink here . I really don’t like the smell of blood . ”
Tap . Tap . Tap .
Si Wuya walked up the stairs with his hands on his back, the mysterious box was hovering next to him . He wore a smile on his face . He sat down across the table and said, “I’ll treat you to a feast next time to apologize for ruining your mood, senior brother…”
Yu Shangrong shook his head slightly and said, “It’s enough that you have that thought . However, it’s truly a shame . I promised to let them end their own lives . ”
“It’s my fault… I shouldn’t have interfered,” Si Wuya said, “Senior brother, you’re a person of great standing . Why are you lowering yourself to deal with these scummy mounted brigands?”
“Little Junior Sister is naïve and pure . Her problems are my problems,” Yu Shangrong said .
Si Wuya was taken aback . He said, “You certainly love Little Junior Sister dearly . ”
“I wouldn’t call it love…” Yu Shangrong said gently, “When Elder Senior Brother and I left the Evil Sky Pavilion, Little Junior Sister hasn’t even joined yet . ”
“Then, why?” Si Wuya swept his gaze at the corpses of the mounted brigands .
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly . He stood up with his hands on his back . He looked at the scenery outside as he said, “I’ve met Little Junior Sister a few times . I think she’s like me, a person who treats others with sincerity . ”
“…” Si Wuya coughed lightly before he said, “Second Senior Brother, let’s talk business . ” He waved his hand, and the mysterious box landed on the table .
