Chapter 417: Why Should I Be Ashamed?

~8 min read 1,546 words

"Leaving just like that?"

Mu Zishan's figure vanished from before his eyes. Before leaving, a powerful force enveloped the entire world, and subsequently, Shen Yu clearly heard many screams and roars erupt.

Following that, these cries returned to silence, evidently extinguished by Mu Zishan's power.

These sounds were certainly not those that ordinary experts could emit; they must have been the voices of those old monsters. It was likely that not a single one of those who had awakened managed to escape.

Thinking about it, they were miserable enough. A hundred years ago, before suppressing the Forbidden Land, Mu Zishan had already hacked through these awakened old monsters once, and only then did he leisurely depart to suppress the Forbidden Land.

Now, before leaving, Mu Zishan had hacked through these old monsters once again.

These ones who awakened early were originally operating with the mindset of "the earlier you wake up, the earlier you can scavenge." They thought that although there was danger in waking up early, the benefits to be gained were also great; wealth and honor are sought amidst danger.

They never imagined they would be completely wiped out, and damn it, twice in a row at the hands of the same person. Who could they even go to for justice?

Throughout the whole process, Shen Yu was actually a bit dazed. It was only when Mu Zishan finally disappeared from his sight that he began to react.

Only the jade pendant in his hand and the Spirit Liquid condensing into a stream within his body proved that he had just come face-to-face with Mu Zishan. Was this considered having met, or not? In a daze, it all felt like a dream of a yellow millet.

However, from Mu Zishan's words, one could tell that besides those old monsters, there seemed to be some things in this world that he did not know about.

Even Mu Zishan, whom one could only look up to at this moment, had to be cautious when facing them. His own future path was likely a long and arduous one.

Wait, that's not right. Mu Zishan wiped out all those old monsters before leaving. You've plucked all the wool, what am I supposed to pluck?

Shen Yu was very clear about his own situation. The reason he could improve rapidly was precisely by beating, smashing, robbing, and killing those old monsters. The more evil they were, the greater the harvest he would get from signing in.

Now that the old monsters were all dead, where was he supposed to find those heinous criminals? Could it be he had to chase after mountain bandits and thieves all over the world to hack them? Thirty or fifty thousand mountain bandits and thieves probably wouldn't compare to a single old monster.

Could it be he had to rely on talent? If he relied on that thing, ten or eight years wouldn't be enough for him to improve even once.

The world compared him to Mu Zishan, but he was very clear that he was not Mu Zishan; the gap between him and that man was not ordinary. The other relied on talent, while he relied entirely on cheating.

Forget it, take it slow. This batch is gone, the next batch of old monsters should be waking up soon. Before that, there were still many things he could do.

For example, he could set up more Arrays to protect more common people. Although time was tight and the effect might not be that great, having something was better than having nothing.

He set up a Concealment Array here, shielding this mountain village within it. The mountains here were high and the forests dense, situated among towering peaks and ridges; outsiders would rarely be able to find this place.

The Concealment Array he laid down also contained some small tricks, enough to safeguard their safety. Perhaps many years later, this place might even become a place similar to a Peach Blossom Spring.

After finishing these things, Shen Yu then left this place. He had originally intended to return to Da'an City, but he hadn't gotten his bearings right.

He knew the general location of Da'an City, but his positioning might not be very accurate. Looking at the high mountains and dense forests around him, he knew he had likely gone to the wrong place.

However, under his Super Perception, Da'an City, a thousand miles away, was already reflected in his perception. Although the position was a bit off, it wasn't too outrageous.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore!"

Just as Shen Yu was preparing to leave for Da'an City, a man's voice suddenly seemed to reach his ears. This voice was very harsh and also arrogant; just hearing it made one want to hit someone.

"Don't come over! If my senior brother finds out, he will kill you! He will definitely kill you! Don't come over!"

【Empty Line】

The voice that followed was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of helplessness, giving one the first impression that the person before them was a youthful and beautiful cute girl.

His perception enveloped that area, and several figures appeared in his perception. A young man of about twenty years old was stepping closer and closer to a stunningly beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen.

The girl seemed to have tripped and was preparing to climb up from the ground, but at this moment, the man opposite had already closed in, leaving her with no way to escape.

It seemed that, other than falling into the other party's hands, there was no other possibility.

"Is that so? I am truly so afraid of your senior brother Su Ye." Walking forward step by step, the man's voice reached him again.

"Su Qinghe, why don't you think about how I found you? Do you really think it could be a coincidence?"

"Coincidentally you came here to pick herbs, coincidentally I also came here, and coincidentally we met!"

"Hahaha, in this world, how can there be so many coincidences? Why don't you understand yet? Your senior brother sold you to me. From now on, you are my person!"

"Impossible! My senior brother wouldn't do that!" The weak female voice rose, carrying a hint of anger; clearly, she did not believe the man's words.

"Tsk tsk, Su Qinghe, you really are pitifully naive. Do you really think your senior brother is a good thing? When someone is weak, he can cherish his fellow disciples and uphold justice."

"But after he becomes powerful, how long can this original intention last? When he reaches a high position, is he still the same senior brother you knew back then?"

"To tell you the truth, your senior brother Su Ye is ruthless and unscrupulous. For the sake of a little benefit, he can sacrifice anyone. He can even mercilessly kill the master who raised him; what is there that he wouldn't dare to do?"

"You, this little junior sister, are also just a Chess Piece in his eyes that can bring him benefits. To curry favor with my Luo family, sacrificing you, this little junior sister, is nothing."

"It won't be! My senior brother wouldn't do that!"

Looking at the man within arm's reach, Su Qinghe retreated continuously. While feeling fear, her heart inevitably wavered.

Recalling her father's unexplained death, many people pointed their fingers at her senior brother, but she alone believed in his character and consistently supported him.

But now, she was somewhat hesitant, even somewhat afraid. Could her senior brother really be such a person?

"Su Qinghe, that senior brother you love so much is already dead. The current him is just a selfish and self-interested villain, a person just like me!"

"Heh, forget it, why say so much to you? Su Qinghe, stay there obediently and don't move, otherwise, I will be very rough later."

Seeming to have become impatient, the man approached while directly taking off his clothes, his face filled with smug excitement.

Especially when seeing the panic and helplessness on the girl's face, he was even more excited to the point of being unable to restrain himself.

However, when he got close to the woman, she suddenly threw out a piece of white powder, which, under the impetus of Inner Energy, was accurately and correctly sprinkled onto his face.

The man couldn't help but retreat repeatedly, his body also seeming to become paralyzed and weak, unable to even stand steadily.

And Su Qinghe, taking advantage of this opportunity, quickly fled into the distance without any intention of turning back to land a finishing blow; at a glance, she was clearly a novice in the world of martial arts.

"Young Master, she has already run far away. Why did you have to come in person!" After the girl had run for quite a while, a sudden, aged voice came over, causing the man who had been feigning weakness to stand up at once.

"It's good that she's run far away. Tell the men not to drop the ball and hurry up and prepare for the next step. Since we're acting, of course, we have to be serious!"

"Rest assured, Young Master. This time, Su Ye is dead for sure. The things in his hands will definitely be ours!"
