"It's you?"
Wang Yan smiled in surprise. He slowly put down the falling sand in his hand. He did not expect the person pretending to be a corpse to be Cai Liao, whom he had deliberately spared back at Camel Hill Fort. This guy is interesting. Wang Yan could not help but ask, "What important news do you have? If it's true, I can naturally spare your life. "
When Cai Liao heard this, he pushed away the corpse on top of him, stood up, and chuckled. "My life is worthless. I've only unlocked nine of my twelve main meridians. Even if I die once, I'll be able to cultivate it back in half a month at most. However, the news I know is very important to you. How about we make a deal?"
"A deal?"
Looking at Cai Liao, the surprise on Wang Yan's face increased. Half a month ago, this guy looked like a well-behaved newbie. How did he suddenly become a wily old fox? Wang Yan could not help but sigh at the players' adaptability and growth rate.
However, Wang Yan wanted to see what tricks this guy had up his sleeves. "Tell me."
Cai Liao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He rubbed his hands together and said sneakily, "I see that you've only killed people on your way here without picking up the loot. You're most likely a tycoon. You don't have any interest in the loot dropped by us low-level players. If that's the case, why don't you let me collect the loot? In return, I'll reveal an important piece of news to you. "
So that's how it is. This guy's mind worked quickly. He was thinking about the loot on the corpses. As far as Wang Yan knew, the corpses of players would disappear after the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn. The loot dropped would initially belong to the player, but after 60 breaths, it would become ownerless.
Meanwhile, Wang Yan had only come here to harvest EXP. He wasn't particularly interested in the loot dropped by these low-leveled players. After all, it would take too much time to collect the loot one by one. He wasn't willing to waste his time and effort.
"Tell me about your news."
Wang Yan neither agreed nor refused. Hearing this, Cai Liao hesitated for a while and said, "Do you know of a place called Wuyinzhuang to the north of Chaoyuan Town?"
Wang Yan shook his head. Seeing this, Cai Liao immediately told him about the King Slaying Convention. However, he did not go into details. He only mentioned that there would be over a hundred martial artists at the peak of the Soothing Pulse Stage participating. Apart from them, there would also be over ten Nurturing Embryo Stage martial artists and a few Title Experts. In the end, he especially mentioned that the Manor Master of the Five Sounds Village, Zhu Wuyin, was a Clasping Yuan Stage martial artist.
"Is this news true?"
Although Wang Yan had already noticed that the situation had changed, he did not expect it to be this serious. If the King Slaying Convention was true, once these people got involved, he would be in a very dangerous situation.
Cai Liao looked at the serious expression on Wang Yan's face and knew that his news had attracted Wang Yan's attention. He said, "Of course it's true. If you agree to let me collect the loot, I can also tell you the names of the powerful people who will participate in the King Slaying Convention."
Hearing Cai Liao's words, Wang Yan knew that the news was mostly true. Maybe this guy was exaggerating, but just Zhu Wuyin alone was enough to make him feel troubled. Through the contact with Cai Liao, Wang Yan also realized a serious problem. He was too isolated from the news. He could not help but think for a while and finally said, "Of course I'm not interested in the loot of these Soothing Pulse Stage players. You can collect them all. But are you satisfied with that? Do you want to get something from the Nurturing Embryo Stage players or even the Nurturing Embryo Stage NPC? "
Wang Yan looked at Cai Liao with a smile that was not a smile, which seemed to be unfathomable. However, Cai Liao's eyes were already full of little stars. Without any hesitation, he resolutely replied, "Yes!"
.....
About three hundred miles southeast of Golden City, there was a continuous rolling mountain range. The area of this mountain range was not too big. From east to west, it was no more than a hundred miles, and from north to south, it was only a few dozen miles. Therefore, in this mountain range, there were many low peaks. However, in the middle of these low peaks, there was a rather towering mountain. This mountain was called 'Cang Mountain' by the southern people.
The sun was hanging in the middle of the sky, and the midday sunlight was particularly dazzling. Under this dazzling sunlight, a figure was climbing up the rugged mountain wall on the east side of Cang Mountain. This figure was naturally Wang Yan. After he left the boundary of Huaiyang Market, he went all the way east and finally entered Cang Mountain.
Cang Mountain was the place that Wang Yan chose to bear his embryo. Especially after he learned about the King Slaying Convention, he rushed here without stopping. He knew that his time was tight. After all, he had an appointment with Duan Henan in four months.
The reason why he chose this place to bear his embryo was probably because the southern wilderness of Northern Victory Region was too desolate. However, this Cang Mountain was said to be lush with trees, and there was no lack of birds and beasts. Thus, if Wang Yan temporarily hid here, at least he wouldn't have to worry about starving to death. In addition, there were many mountain springs in the mountain, so there was no shortage of drinking water. For Wang Yan, this was naturally the best place to bear his embryo.
However, Wang Yan came from the east side, and this side of Cang Mountain was full of cliffs and precipices. Wang Yan didn't think too much about it. He used his Qinggong and Leaping Technique and headed all the way to the top of the mountain.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Wang Yan finally reached the top of the mountain. Standing in between a few oddly shaped boulders, he looked ahead and saw that the white clouds in the sky seemed to be floating in front of him, and the surrounding low peaks were like small piles of stones, arranged in a circular pattern around the Cang Mountain. Standing here and looking around, he really felt as if he was looking at all the mountains.
Under such a scene, Wang Yan couldn't help but feel heroic in his heart. He loudly shouted, "I, Wang Yan, will definitely reach the top one day!"
His voice traveled far away and floated back and forth between the mountains. Wang Yan only felt carefree, and then he turned his head to look at Cang Mountain under his feet. Other than the east side of Cang Mountain, the other three sides of Cang Mountain were covered with green pines, and from time to time, he could hear the cries of birds. Among them, the north side was the most flourishing, with dense green trees and the faint roars of beasts.
Seeing this, Wang Yan didn't delay any longer. He immediately leaped and headed north. Soon, his figure disappeared among the green mountains in the north.
.....
In the Flowing Water Pavilion in the backyard of Wuyin Manor, Manor Master Zhu Wuyin and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sat opposite each other at a stone table in the pavilion. There was a chessboard on the stone table. The Old Manor Master sat still with a faint smile on his face, while the boy held a white chess piece in his hand, looking hesitant. The white chess pieces on the chessboard were already completely surrounded by the black chess pieces. At most, after three more moves, the white chess pieces would meet the so-called dragon slaying.
Looking at the situation on the chessboard, the boy couldn't think of a solution. Finally, he threw away the chess piece in his hand, stretched out his hands to stir the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and said, "Grandpa, you win every time. It's so boring, so boring."
"Haha."
Zhu Wuyin laughed, then stretched out his hand to caress the boy's head, and said, "Of course grandpa wins. If grandpa loses to a little boy like you, wouldn't I have lived all these years in vain? You must know that life is like a game of chess. "
Speaking up to this point, a strange flush suddenly appeared on Zhu Wuyin's face. Then, his chest heaved up and down, and he started coughing violently.
Seeing this, the boy hurriedly rushed over to support Zhu Wuyin, and his right hand kept caressing Zhu Wuyin's back. After a long while, Zhu Wuyin finally stopped coughing, and the boy said with a worried expression, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
"Qing Luo, you knew that grandpa doesn't have long to live, so why bother asking? Life isn't a chessboard, and no one can escape from birth, old age, sickness, and death. You can't just casually stir things up and start anew like you did before. "
Zhu Wuyin earnestly taught the boy, and the boy lowered his head, seriously accepting the teaching, and said, "Qing Luo understands."
Hearing this, Zhu Wuyin couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "You still don't understand. Just like this game, you still can't figure it out, and you have a lot of questions to ask grandpa, right?"
"Yes."
The boy nodded, and then said, "I still don't understand why grandpa wants to hold this so-called King Slaying Assembly, and even spent all of his family's wealth for it. If grandpa really wants Wang Yan's head, just do it."
"Grandpa naturally wants Wang Yan's head. After Monk Xing Chen died, the Garan Monastery was extremely furious. Not only did they send out their disciples to deal with Wang Yan, but Abbot Xujue also privately promised that whoever brought Wang Yan's head would directly become an inner disciple of the Garan Monastery. It's just that this news hasn't spread yet, and not many people know about it.
Grandpa doesn't have much time left, and the only thing he can't let go of is you. Once I go, Five Sounds Village won't be able to maintain the situation with just you, kid. If you can bring Wang Yan's head to the Garan Monastery and become an inner disciple, grandpa will be relieved.
However, the Jianghu is a place with rules. As Wang Yan's master, that Duan Henan was willing to cut off three of his fingers to kill Monk Xing Chen. This is a warning. If grandpa personally takes action, Wang Yan naturally won't be able to survive, but in the future, Duan Henan will definitely disregard his status and attack you personally. "
Zhu Wuyin slowly explained the reason why he held the 'King Killer Convention'. This teenager was also an intelligent person, so he immediately said, "Grandpa wants to wait for these people to kill Wang Yan, and then snatch the head of Wang Yan from these people. In this way, he can cut off the karma between him and Duan Henan, so that in the future, Duan Henan won't be able to take revenge on me, right?"
Zhu Wuyin nodded approvingly, but the teenager then said, "It's just that those who participate in the King Killer Convention are too incompetent. Initially, that female military counselor Zhuge Chan said that they would complete the encirclement within seven days and take down Wang Yan within ten days. But now, five days have passed, and so many of them haven't even caught a glimpse of Wang Yan's shadow."
"This can't be blamed on them."
Zhu Wuyin shook his head and said, "Although Golden City is a remote corner, after all, it has a radius of several hundred miles. That Wang Yan wholeheartedly wants to hide, so how could it be easy to find him? To do big things, one must not be impatient. In any case, that Wang Yan has an appointment with Duan Henan in four months, so sooner or later, he will show up. "
"It's just that, I heard that Wang Yan recently revealed his real strength in Huaiyang Market, wantonly slaughtering thousands of people. Can those people in the King Killer Convention take him down?"
The teenager seemed to be quite prejudiced against those who participated in the King Killer Convention. After all, Zhu Wuyin had spent all of his family's wealth for these people, therefore, he inexplicably disliked these people. How could Zhu Wuyin not know the reason behind this? However, he didn't say anything and just said, "The strength of those people is uneven, so when Wang Yan finds an opportunity to kill them one by one, not to mention thousands of people, even killing tens of thousands of people is not as troublesome as killing ten thousand chickens.
As for Wang Yan's strength, in the end, he's just at the peak of Soothing Pulse Stage. Relying on the secret superior skill of Aojian Villa and the sword intent that he comprehended, he might be able to move unhindered in Soothing Pulse Stage, and even behead ordinary Yunzi Stage people. However, if he wants to deal with a titled expert, not to mention there's also the 'Fire Phoenix' Rao Yu, so it's hard for this Wang Yan to escape death. "
"But if in the end, Rao Yu gets Wang Yan's head, will grandpa still fight for it?"
The teenager asked another tricky question. Zhu Wuyin's expression changed slightly, but soon, his eyes showed some determination, "Although the Que Mountain Faction has been passed down for hundreds of years, and Rao Yu is also extraordinary, but compared to Aojian Villa and Duan Henan, it's nothing. How can grandpa easily give in? Moreover, I'll only take the head, and won't harm Rao Yu's life. The Que Mountain Faction won't be able to take revenge on you. "
"Then what if in the end …"
The teenager seemed to still have some questions, but he stopped halfway through. Zhu Wuyin seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently caress the teenager's head, saying, "If the situation that you think really happens, grandpa will personally take action. However, in this case, Qing Luo, in the future, you'll have to train hard in the Garan Monastery, and strive to become a peerless expert as soon as possible, and be listed in the Hidden Dragon List. Then, you won't have to be afraid of Duan Henan. At that time, grandpa will be able to rest in peace."
