Chapter 686: Eldest Big Brother

When the Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard, it gave a low buzz before it quieted down.

The runes on the scabbard were dazzling.

Yu Zhenghai said, “Seventh Junior Brother had inscribed the runes on the scabbard. I used the scabbard as a guide to the red lotus domain as I traveled through the abyss’ dark space and black water.”

Yu Shangrong was slightly shocked, but his expression remained the same. He did not show emotions on his face.

Yu Zhenghai continued to say, “It was a long and tedious journey although there were dangers and excitement as well. Although I overcame the hurdles and escaped the hunting of the beasts of the water, I have no wish of returning to the dark space. It’s a pain, and it was slightly scary.” He tried his best to describe how difficult the journey was in the simplest terms. In other words, he was saying it was not easy coming to rescue Yu Shangrong.

Yu Shangrong replied, “It was acceptable for me… I traveled past the black water as well. I flew on my sword without rest or sleep. However, it was an easy trip for me.”

Yu Zhenghai. “…”

Yu Shangrong added, “When you were killed by Liu Gu, I went westward on master’s orders. I braved blizzards, crossed Heaven’s Moat, traveled for a fortnight, navigated through the forest, the Land of Buried Bones, arrived at Lou Lan, stood guard for 49 days, and killed the grand shaman Bazir. Compared to what you’ve been through, that was much more difficult and terrifying.”

Yu Zhenghai said, “Your cultivation base is unfathomable, Second Junior Brother. Killing them is as easy as picking a pocket… Flying for a fortnight doesn’t sound so hard.”

Yu Shangrong. “…”

A breeze blew gently in the air.

After a while, the duo finally stopped bickering. At the same time, their minds finally cleared. They suddenly realized the gravity of killing three members from the Flying Star House.

Yu Shangrong said, “You’ve just arrived, Eldest Senior Brother. You don’t know much about the cultivators here. Xuan Ming is a Nascent Divinity realm cultivator. Now that you killed him, you should get rid of the evidence.”

“To prevent the corpse from being controlled by witchcraft?” Yu Zhenghai looked down despite himself.

“The red runes also serve as a tracking device. All of them have similar runes on their bodies,” Yu Shangrong explained.

“No wonder you attacked and dismembered the corpse, Second Junior Brother.”

The two of them looked away. They knew what was in each other’s minds as they flew to a nearby mountain.

Before Yu Shangrong landed, he cupped his fists and respectfully said to Yu Zhenghai, “Please forgive me for being rude in the past, Eldest Senior Brother.”

“What are you talking about? You’re the Eldest Senior Brother,” Yu Zhenghai replied with his hands on his back.

“Everyone says the Sect Master of the Nether Sect who leads 100,000 members is magnanimous. I’m sure he won’t put something as trivial as this in his heart,” Yu Shangrong said.

“Of course.”

Since Yu Shangrong went so far as to say that, Yu Zhenghai, naturally, could not hold it against him.

Yu Zhenghai looked at the distant mountain and asked, “Once we expose our golden avatar in the red lotus domain, we’ll instantly be labeled as foreigners. How did you hide your identity, Second Junior Brother?”

“My sword is enough,” Yu Shangrong replied. His Longevity Sword had a red glow to begin with. Moreover, with the red runes, as long as he refrained from using energy and killed with his sword alone, it was enough to deal with ordinary elites. Even without his cultivation base, he was still capable of killing Nascent Divinity realm elites with his hands. This was how confident he was.

“You, on the other hand, Eldest Senior Brother… Although the Jasper Saber is a desolate-grade weapon, how are you going to fight the enemies without using energy?” Yu Shangrong asked.

“I’ll just kill anyone who goes against me,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“…” After a beat, Yu Shangrong changed the topic and said, “Xuan Ming is a member of the Flying Star House. His death must be kept a secret.”

Yu Zhenghai nodded. With a sigh, he said, “If we’re in Great Yan, there’d be no need for this. Who cares about Flying Star House? I’ll just wipe them out. A leader can submit or stand tall as required. I’ll do as you say, Second Junior Brother.”

“…”

As the duo was discussing among themselves, Ji Fengxing hurried over. The speed of his flight could hardly be praised. When he saw Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai on the mountain, he was overjoyed. He hastily walked out to them as he said, “Big brother, big brother… This is?”

“My Eldest Senior Brother,” Yu Shangrong answered.

“Eldest Senior Brother? In that case, you’re eldest big brother? Allow me to salute you!” Ji Fengxing saluted Yu Zhenghai.

“There’s no need for that.” Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly. Knowing his Second Junior Brother’s solitary character, he knew his Second Junior Brother disliked making friends. Even if his Second Junior Brother did acquaint himself with someone, it would not be with such a person.

Ji Fengxing looked around him and wondered out loud, “Where’s Daoist Master Xuan Ming?”

“We killed him,” Yu Shangrong replied.

Yu Zhenghai was rendered speechless. ‘What happened to keeping his death a secret?’

When Ji Fengxing heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, “Oh, no! This is bad! Elder Tian sent me to stop you. With this, we’ve thoroughly offended the Flying Star House. I’m afraid… I’m afraid…”

Yu Zhenghai said arrogantly, “We’ll deal with them as they come. Why do you have to be so terrified… Second Junior Brother, your taste…” There was no need for him to finish his sentence for Yu Shangrong to figure out that he was judging his selection of friends.

Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. “Eldest Senior Brother, this is the Thousand Willow Monastery’s external disciple, Ji Fengxing.”

“The Thousand Willow Monastery?”

“Let’s return for now.”

The trio exchanged a glance before they returned to the Thousand Willow Monastery.

…

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points. Domain extra: 1,000 merit points.”

“Ding! Killed two targets. Reward: 20 merit points. Domain extra: 20 merit points.”

Lu Zhou opened his eyes.

Yu Zhenghai should have already arrived in the red lotus domain. With his cultivation base and the desolate-grade Jasper Saber, there should not be a problem as long as he could avoid running into a Nine-leaf cultivator.

He checked the dashboard.

Merit points: 15,333.

He spent 10,000 merit points in lucky draws over the past couple of days.

His luck was on the rotten side. All he got were 50 Reversal Cards.

He now had 240 Reversal Cards. He needed more.

“I should rest and refine my weapons.” He had three Refining Talismans.

Lu Zhou placed the Magistrate Brush, High Void, and Spotless Dagger before himself. These were all super heaven-grade weapons.

Unnamed was enough for him. He thought it would be a good idea to refine the weapons and improve the strength of those from the Old Age Pavilion.

With this thought in mind, Lu Zhou produced the talismans and refined the three weapons.

The Magistrate Court and Spotless Dagger were easier to refine. The two weapons were undamaged; they were complete weapons. All he needed to do was to erase all the traces of their former owners.

On the other hand, High Void was broken. It took more time before its refinement was complete.

After refining the three weapons, Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

He had a good feeling so he decided to try the lucky draws.

“Lucky draw.”

“Ding! Spent 50 merit points. Thank you for your participation. Luck point: +1.”

…

Inside the Thousand Willow Monastery in the red lotus domain.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong sat in a stately manner next to each other.

An extremely awkward expression could be seen on Tian Buji’s face as he said, “I appreciate both of you for helping out… However, with the death of Xuan Ming, the Flying Star House definitely won’t let the matter slide. The Thousand Willow Monastery has no intention of dragging outsiders into this matter. Kindly leave while you can. Ji Fengxing, show them out.”

Ji Fengxing looked like he was in a dilemma. Although he was a Thousand Willow Monastery disciple, he would not act recklessly in front of Yu Shangrong.

Yu Zhenghai said, “Your greatest mistake is being weak. Do you think the Flying Star House won’t come looking for trouble even if Xuan Ming didn’t die? Even if you present this little girl as a gift to the Flying Star House, they would still look down on you. They’ll trample the Thousand Willow Monastery under their feet sooner or later. You’re not young. Surely you know this much?” Nobody in the world understood the sin of being weak better than him. Before he started cultivating, even the beggars on the streets could trample on him. However, when he became the Sect Master of the Nether Sect, even Eight-leaf elites had to avoid him. Truth sided with those who had a larger fist.

Naturally, Tian Buji understood this. He sighed heavily and asked, “Where do you come from?” Up until now, he knew nothing of the mysterious duo. He did not believe they were Ji Fengxing’s ‘big brothers’.

Yu Zhenghai said, “That’s not important. All you need to know is that if my master were here, even the Flying Star House’s Ye Zhen would have to behave himself.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Buji shuddered inwardly. The duo in front of him had mysterious origins. If they were not confident, how could they have challenged the Flying Star House so recklessly?

“Come with me.” Tian Buji made an inviting gesture. “Perhaps, you should meet the monastery master.”

Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai exchanged a look.

“That’d be great.”

Tian Buji turned around and left.

Ji Fengxing was so envious that his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He had joined the sect for so long, and yet, he did not even have the right to enter the area where the inner disciples lived. His big brother had barely spoken more than a sentence, but he was already on his way to meet the monastery master. As expected, being weak was a sin!

“Big brother, eldest big brother, can I… come with?” Ji Fengxing stood between them and asked with a bow. ‘I must hold on to their thighs tightly!’

Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. “Let’s go together, then.”

“I’m going as well!” Wuwu leaped off her chair and followed them.
