Chapter 702: Since we're putting on a show, we have to be a bit serious

~8 min read 1,515 words

"Just leaving like this?"

Mu Zishan's figure vanished 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 is estimated 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 leave to suppress the Forbidden Land.

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

Those who awakened first were originally operating with the mindset of waking up early to pick up scraps, thinking that although there was danger in waking up early, the benefits obtained were also great; wealth is 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 go to for justice?

Shen Yu was actually a bit dazed throughout the whole process. It wasn't until Mu Zishan completely vanished from his sight at the end that he finally reacted.

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 trance, it all felt like a dream.

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 checking in.

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

Could it be that 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 knew very well that he was not Mu Zishan; the gap between him and that person was not small at all. The other relied on talent, while he relied entirely on cheating.

Forget it, take it slow. This batch is gone, but 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 good, 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 ranges; outsiders could rarely 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 something 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 the direction right.

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

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 off by too much.

"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 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 helpless, giving one the first impression that the person before them was a young, beautiful, and cute girl.

With his perception covering that area, several figures appeared in his mind. A young man of about twenty was stepping closer to a stunning girl of about sixteen or seventeen.

The girl seemed to have tripped and was preparing to climb up from the ground, but by this time the man opposite had already approached, 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'm really so scared of your Senior Brother Su Ye." Walking forward step by step, the man's voice came over 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!" A weak female voice rang out, 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? After he rises to power, is he still the same Senior Brother you knew back then?"

"To tell you the truth, your Senior Brother Su Ye is ruthless and stops at nothing. For a little benefit, he can sacrifice anyone. He can even kill the master who raised him without mercy; what is there that he wouldn't dare to do?"

"You, this Junior Sister, are just a Chess Piece in his eyes that can bring him benefits. To curry favor with my Luo family, what is sacrificing you, this Junior Sister?"

"It's not true! My Senior Brother wouldn't do that!"

Looking at the man close at hand, Su Qinghe retreated continuously. While fearful, her heart could not help but waver.

Recalling how her father died under unclear circumstances, with many people pointing their fingers at her Senior Brother, only she 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, the Senior Brother you loved 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, you stay there obediently and don't move, otherwise, I might be very rough later."

Seeming to have become impatient, the man began taking off his clothes while approaching, 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 control himself.

However, when he approached the woman, she suddenly threw out a piece of white powder, which, driven by Inner Energy, was accurately and correctly sprinkled onto his face.

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

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

"Young Master, she has already run far away. Why did you have to come in person!" After the girl had been running for a while, a sudden, aged voice came over, causing the man who had been pretending to be weak 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 putting on a show, we naturally have to be a bit serious!"

"Don't worry, Young Master. This time, Su Ye is dead for sure, and the things in his hands will definitely be ours!"
