11 Even If We Play with Him Until He Broke We Wouldnst Feel Too Sad (1/2)

On the back courtyard of the Village Head, the blood from nose of the three young masters flowed down like a mini river.

The sight of those dark red liquid numbed Hai Yunfan's brain as he said to Wang Lu with a parched mouth, ”... Brother Wang Lu, could you explain to me what just happened?”

Reasoning backwards from the end result, Hai Yunfan came up with ten or so possibilities, but the excessive shock of what had just occurred caused him to lose the ability to choose the best possibility.

While Wang Lu was looking around for a mop as he prepared to clean up the three pieces of ”trash” on the ground, he replied, ”What just happened? Wasn't it obvious? The chivalrous hero living in the Peach Blossom Village came out and successfully crushed the evil plan of a handful of thugs, protecting the peaceful lives of the villagers of the Peach Blossom Village.”

”The chivalrous hero? Do you know that person just now?”

”He's probably called Lei Feng [1]... To be honest, I don't know nor is there a need for me to know.”

Hai Yunfan remained silent for a few moments to calm himself down, and then he asked, ”Because you knew that this would be the case?”

”I knew it just in time. A few hours prior, when the Head of the Village said that there haven't been any physical brawl in this Peach Blossom Village, I realized that this is a peaceful area [2]!”

”Peaceful area?” Hai Yunfan was clearly confused by this term as he tightly knitted his brows.

In his impression, it was rare for a sect to assign a ”peaceful area” in their Immortal Gatherings. At least, in his Grand Cloud Empire, the third or fourth-rate sects there would have countless bloody fights during their Immortal Gatherings in order to determine which potential disciple had the most strength and talent, which was very effective.

Therefore, this act of sending someone to protect the participants of the Immortal Gathering held by the Spirit Sword Sect was utterly incomprehensible. For a moment, Hai Yunfan even suspected if the Spirit Sword Sect was truly looking for disciples... However, in the end, Spirit Sword Sect was one of the five great sects, so they would never joke with this kind of thing.

”Speaking of which, rumor has it that the Spirit Sword Sect was famous for being low key and was never known for its aggressiveness like the Shengjing Sect. Could it be that the Spirit Sword Sect was as righteous and kind as the rumors had said?”

”Righteous and kind? Little Hai, look at all this blood on the ground I've been cleaning up. You think this is righteous and kind?”

Seeing the three unconscious people lying in the pool of blood from their nose on the ground, Hai Yunfan was indeed lost in thought.

Seeing he still couldn't think this through, Wang Lu continued to explain to him, ”The rules in the Spirit Sword Sect are very simple: all idiots shall die.”

”Ugh, where... am I?”

Feeling a cold chill on his forehead, the young master from the Xie family of the Hearing Rain Pavilion soon woke up.

His head hurt like hell, and his nose bridge felt like it was broken. He still felt dizzy, and his vision was fuzzy. But he could vaguely see a fat man sitting in front of him, splashing cold water on him.

”Who are you?”

”Ah? Me? I'm Wen Bao, the son of the teacher of the state of the Azure Billow Country, Wen Zhong.”

Although the man's voice sounded a bit scared, it contained a hint of pride in his background.

Xie Qianlong felt absurd, ”What is this fat pig so proud about? Who does he think he is, coming from such a third-rate country. Doesn't he know that even the second prince of the Grand Cloud Empire treats us, people from Immortal Cultivator's families, as his superiors? And yet he's so proud of his background!?” The more he thought, the more angry he was; adding on to the humiliation he had just suffered from Wang Lu, he reached into his pocket to take out his family's Magical Treasure.

As for Wen Bao, he was completely unaware of the impending danger. He splashed water on Xie Qianlong's two companions as he cheerfully spoke, causing his double chin to shake.

”Just then, I came out of that smoky place while scratching my head, not knowing what to do. Then, I suddenly saw the three of you lying unconscious by the river. Is the next test really that difficult? I think it's best if all four of us work together, maybe we will have a higher chance on passing this test. When I was walking in that smoky place just now, I thought that if I was with a group of people, I probably wouldn't be trapped for so long.”

Wen Bao had obviously not realized the true purpose of the Cloud Wave Map, so he thought that he was very smart. However, his behavior caused Xie Qianlong to despise him more and more.

As he was speaking, Wen Bao noticed that Xie Qianlong's two companions had also woken up.

”Ah, you're all awake now?”

Wen Bao was beaming with a smile. If he could successfully join hand with these three people, it would be much easier to pass the next test... Back then, in a moment of hot-headedness, he had rejected the offer from the Carefree Peak and had decided to continue on the Immortal Path. However, he had regretted this decision many times in the Cloud Wave Map, and had no choice but to walk forward.

However, his joy immediately disappeared. Wen Bao clearly noticed the look that the three people gave him was not pleasant at all. Although their faces were still pale and all of them looked half-unconscious, their malicious intent were still quite evident in their face.

”What's... the matter with you guys? You don't want to work together? Then, I'll just take my leave now.”

Although he wasn't very bright, Wen Bao felt that something didn't seem right, so he immediately decided to leave.

”You want to leave? You think it'll be that easy?”

Xie Qianlong stood up, intending to use his Frozen Seal Shower Talisman held between two of his fingers to take out his resentment on Wen Bao. His two companions, Young Masters Yun and Li, were the same, ready to spring into action.

Previously, the Carefree Peak disciples had clearly said that life or death on the Immortal Path was already determined by one's destiny. If a small fry messed with someone that he shouldn't mess with, even if he died as a result, then it would be his own fault. Moreover, fighting with and killing one's competitors in the Immortal Gathering was something very common in the Immortal Cultivation World, even for the Immortal Gathering from righteous sects within the Union of Ten Thousand Immortal. Even if Young Masters Xie, Li and Yun all died in this Immortal Gathering, it would not be a big news; so what was the difference between stepping on an ant and killing the son of the teacher of the state of a small country?

The activation of the three Magic Treasures caused Wen Bao to instinctively feel the presence of death looming closer and closer. This teacher of the state's son didn't have the superb psychological qualities of Wang Lu, so he began to scream in fear,

”Help, help, help me!!”

Hearing Wen Bao's hysterical cry for help, Xie Qianlong felt a bit better. If there was no resistance from the prey, then this game would be pointless... Even so, his killing intent did not diminish even a little bit.

”Call all you want, I don't believe someone is going to stop me here!”

Xie Qianlong coldly sneered as he began to grip the talisman tighter in his hand, ready to release its power. But at this moment, a black shadow descended from the sky.
