Yu ManLou slowly closed his eyes and didn't open them for a long time. The scenes of him roaming the world when he was young appeared in front of his eyes and the events of the past appeared clearly in his heart.
The past was like a dream and the present was cold!
Yu Manlou closed his eyes and let out a long sigh before bursting into laughter. What's wrong with me? It is said that once a person grows old, they will be immersed in their memories. Could it be that I am really old?
No! I am still not old! I still have the will and strength! I still want to sweep the world and reign supreme! The glory of the Tamago will start from me and I will rule over the three continents! The ultimate goal of my ancestors to suppress the Water of Heavenly Wind will be accomplished by me, Yu ManLou!
Yu ManLou's heart was filled with pride and he couldn't help but let out a roar.
"Reporting to Family Head, the black dot in the distance is the Giant Rock Pier." A Yu Family warrior dressed as a sailor came to Yu ManLou's side respectfully and reported.
"I understand." Yu ManLou replied casually without opening his eyes. While he was revisiting the past and was filled with anticipation, he didn't want anyone to know about his thoughts. After all, he had always been high up in the hearts of his tribesmen and was unfathomable.
The fleet cut through the waves and traveled with the wind. The scenery in front of him seemed to be overlapping with the memories in his mind and they were getting closer and closer …
"Sss …" Yu ManLou could clearly hear the sounds of the people on the ship taking in a deep breath and his heart couldn't help but tremble. Could something have happened? He tried his best to maintain his composure and ignore it. However, the sounds below grew louder and louder and he couldn't help but open his eyes to take a look.
With a single glance, even someone as calm as Yu ManLou couldn't help but be shocked. How could this be?
As they got closer, the scene on the shore became clearer. The Giant Rock Pier was currently filled with people and it was to the point that it was almost impenetrable.
From afar, the crowd seemed to be divided into three groups. In the middle, there was a large flag that was ten zhang tall. It fluttered in the wind, and there was a large 'Shui' character engraved on it. It was obvious that they were from the Shui Clan. On the left, there was a similarly large flag with 'Huangfu' written on it, and on the right, there was a 'Song' character.
Behind the three banners, there were countless warriors standing there quietly. They were obviously the elite forces of the three families. With a rough look, there were at least a few thousand people! Although there were many people, everyone had a solemn expression and were silent. Only the sound of the flag being blown by the sea breeze could be heard. Naturally, there was a solemn and dignified aura that faintly revealed a feeling of not hesitating to fight.
Wasn't this too abnormal? Could it be that the three great families of the Heavenly Wind Continent wanted to join forces to deal with Tamago?
A few black clothed old men slowly walked out from the cabin, all of them were calm and composed as they walked to Yu Manlou's side and looked up. It was obvious that they had heard the commotion outside and came out to see what was going on.
"Tamago's heavenly might has spread throughout the world and shook the entire Heavenly Wind Continent. Now that Family Head has personally arrived, which of the three great families of Water of Heavenly Wind would dare to not give face? Naturally, all of them are here to welcome you. We are here to follow Family Head and share in the glory! " An old man with a protruding mouth and monkey-like cheeks squinted his eyes and said with a face full of flattery. He didn't even have time to take a good look before he started to flatter Yu Manlou.
The moment he said that, the few people beside him immediately revealed an expression as though they wanted to vomit. They stealthily took a few steps away from him. As long as one had a bit of insight, they would be able to see the killing intent of the people in front of them. To be able to spout such nonsense with his eyes wide open, his bootlicking skills had to be at the pinnacle of perfection to be able to do so. I really don't understand why the Patriarch must bring this bootlicker here. Standing next to him is really degrading myself. Just based on his state of mind, how can he practice martial arts that are on par with my generation? It's really a miracle among miracles!
"Welcome us? I don't think so, right? " Yu ManLou squinted his eyes as his long beard fluttered in the wind. However, his eyes were heavy as he said, "This formation is too huge. The aura of the people on the shore is obviously oppressive and filled with killing intent. While I don't know why they are gathered here, I can be sure that they definitely don't have any good intentions. "
"Family Head is right. The other party is filled with enmity and it seems as though they will take action at the slightest disagreement." The old man beside Yu ManLou said with worry in his eyes as he looked at the shore.
"If it was only the Water of Heavenly Wind that has enmity towards us, it wouldn't be surprising at all. However, the three largest families of the Heavenly Wind Continent are gathered here. What's going on with the other two families? I believe that even if the Shui Family were to offer huge benefits, the HuangFu and Song Families wouldn't be able to put in so much effort to make an enemy out of our Tamago. There must be a reason behind this. "Yu ManLou revealed a sneer and didn't seem to be bothered by the huge crowd on the shore.
"So what if they have enmity towards us? In the current world, how many people would dare to offend the might of our Tamago? How many of them would be a match for Family Head? Even if the three families were to join hands, they might not be able to withstand a single strike from Family Head! As long as Family Head is here, there is nothing for us to worry about. "The monkey-faced old man chuckled as he continued to flatter Yu ManLou. Seeing the disdainful look on Yu ManLou's face, he naturally knew what his Family Head was thinking. The words that he said were exactly what Yu ManLou was thinking at this moment! It could be said that it was just right. This level of flattery had really reached the realm of "divine brilliance and perfection".
While everyone else looked down on him and scolded him for being shameless in their hearts, with their Family Head right in front of them, they could only agree with him helplessly.
"It shouldn't be possible for the three families to work together to deal with Tamago. No matter how shameless the Shui Family is, they wouldn't do such a despicable thing." Yu ManLou chuckled and said, "There is always a way to solve everything in the world. As for the reason behind this, we will know once we reach the shore. At that time, we can act according to the situation and make wild guesses."
"That's right. Master, you're wise and farsighted. You're a peerless hero. Naturally, you have the pearl of wisdom in your hands. This subordinate is enlightened and sincerely convinced. I can finally put down the stone in my heart." The monkey-faced old man respectfully said loudly.
The surrounding old fogeys all had terrible expressions on their faces. There were those who covered their mouths and vomited, those who turned their heads away, those who looked at them with disdain, and those who coughed crazily …
The fleet slowly approached the shore.
The Family Head of the Shui Family, Shui ManKong, walked up with a face full of smiles. On the ship, Yu ManLou also walked over in an amiable manner. The two of them looked as though they had just reunited after a long separation. If those who did not know the relationship between the two families were to see them, they would definitely think that they were a pair of brothers who had been separated from each other in the chaos of war. The scene of the two of them reuniting after so many years was extremely touching.
"Brother Yu!"
"Brother Shui!"
The two of them clasped their hands tightly and shook it passionately. They both burst out laughing and were incomparably happy.
"Brother Yu, after so many years, brother Yu's appearance hasn't changed much and you even look much younger. I heard that you just took in a new sister-in-law not long ago?! This little brother is really envious of you. "Shui ManKong looked at Yu ManLou with a sincere expression as though he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"You flatter me. Brother Shui is the one who still looks the same as before. It is sufficient to see that your cultivation has improved and you have already reached the peak. This little brother is the one who is filled with admiration. " Yu ManLou sighed and said emotionally, "Thinking back to those years, we brothers drank wine together and chatted through the night. Unknowingly, thirty years have already passed! All these years, this little brother has been thinking about you day and night and hoped that I would be able to see you again. Today, I am truly overjoyed to see you again. "
"Likewise, this foolish little brother is also the same. Time flies like an arrow. To think that I would have the chance to travel together with brother Yu in my lifetime. The heavens have really treated me well. " Shui ManKong laughed heartily, "Brother Yu, come come come. Allow this little brother to introduce two good friends to you."
The two of them who couldn't wait to fight to the death were putting on a pretentious act yet sincere. Be it the way they spoke or the expression on their faces, they were all extremely natural without any flaws. This made the experts of the Yu and Shui Families praise them in their hearts.
The Family Head was indeed the Family Head. Just this kind of bearing, this kind of patience, this kind of shrewdness, how many people in the world would be able to reach such a realm? Jade of Heavenly Star, Water of Heavenly Wind, they were indeed worthy of their thousand years of inheritance.
Shui ManKong said as he stretched out his hand, "This is the famous HuangFu Family Head of our Heavenly Wind Continent, HuangFu YanHan. Brother HuangFu has admired brother Yu for a long time. This is the Family Head of the Song Family, Song TianQiao, brother Song. "
Yu ManLou smiled faintly and cupped his fists, "I have long heard of your name."
HuangFu YanHan cupped his fists with a fake smile and said, "Family Head of the Tamago Family? I have long heard that Family Head of the Tamago Family took in a concubine before the New Year. You are truly a role model for our generation and truly worthy of admiration. I should have personally gone over to congratulate you but was unable to do so due to the long journey. I hope that Family Head of the Tamago Family will be magnanimous enough to prepare a gift for you. " His words were extremely sarcastic and it was obvious that he was implying that Yu ManLou was an old pervert. Besides, who would give a gift in such a manner?
Yu ManLou was stunned and thought to himself, We are all foreigners and while I might be a little tyrannical in the Tamago Family, I definitely did not provoke you. Yet, you actually dared to provoke me? What is the reason for that? Yu ManLou could not help but be angered in his heart and his words became impolite, "You flatter me, but I have heard that Family Head HuangFu has been focused on martial arts and has never been close to women since the age of 30. To think that you have actually maintained your chastity for so many years. Your perseverance is truly worthy of admiration."
"You!" HuangFu YanHan's lips trembled. He had married at a young age and had indulged himself in debauchery. In less than ten years, he had a son and a daughter. But from then on, he suddenly had erectile dysfunction. This was his greatest humiliation.
This was his greatest humiliation and his greatest taboo. But, Yu ManLou actually dared to say it out loud in front of him. He did not know that Yu ManLou was only casually speaking and thought that Yu ManLou was exposing his scars in front of everyone. How could he not be angered? What Yu ManLou did not know was that he had already formed an irreconcilable enmity with the HuangFu Family. Even if he could prove that the kidnapping was not done by Family Tamago in the future, it would no longer be of any help …
"Family Head of the Tamago," Song TianQiao stood out and said with a sour tone, "I have long heard that Family Head of the Tamago Family is strong in martial arts and has a strict rule. But, I did not know that Family Head of the Tamago Family actually has such high regard for my Song Family. This is truly unexpected. To be able to receive Family Head of the Tamago Family's attention, Song TianQiao is truly honored. "
"Ah ah, the Song Family is huge and Family Head Song's leadership is even better. I have always admired you." Yu ManLou said calmly. At the same time, a huge suspicion arose in his heart. What he said was originally just a polite greeting. But in the ears of those who were paying attention, the meaning of his words changed completely.
Even though Yu ManLou's intelligence was as high as the heavens, he was still completely confused by the two of them. Just what was going on with the two of them? No matter what, the two of you are still the heads of a large family. How can the two of you be so ungentlemanly? I came from afar and even if the two of you are unhappy, you should at least be polite on the surface. Why are you acting like you are on drugs? Did I offend you?
If one of you suddenly went crazy, it would be understandable. But, it can't be that the two of you ate the wrong medicine at the same time, right? Furthermore, these two fellows were important figures in Heavenly Wind!
How would Yu ManLou know that these two big shots in front of him had spent the past few days as if they were a year? The mysterious gifts that they received every day would cause them to faint from the heartache. But, they still had to maintain their rationality and not act rashly. The moment they saw Yu ManLou, the mastermind behind the scenes, how would they be able to maintain their restraint? They really wanted to pounce on him and swallow him whole. How would they still be polite to him?
To be able to talk to him face to face without going all out was already the limit of what HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao could do.
Yu ManLou swept his gaze across the people in front of him and the more he looked, the more confused he became. The eyes of these two Family Heads were spewing fire and they looked as though they could not live under the same sky with him. It was as though they wanted to swallow him whole. The experts behind them were also filled with rage and killing intent. As for the Shui Family Head, Shui ManKong, he looked over with a smile. Every time he looked at Yu ManLou, he would have a look of schadenfreude. This … just what was going on?
Just as Yu ManLou was puzzled, HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao could no longer hold themselves back. Their own sons were being tortured, so how would they be interested in feigning civility with this Yu ManLou?
HuangFu YanHan's face was frosty as he said impolitely, "Family Head Tamago, it seems like you do not intend to speak first if we don't make things clear. Since things have already reached such a stage, why don't we speak openly? Dare I ask Family Head Tamago, when will you release my sons? What is Tamago planning? A single man will fight 99% and not + 1%. State your conditions! "
"Wait …" Yu ManLou's face darkened as he looked at HuangFu YanHan, "This Yu does not know what Family Head HuangFu means by that? What do you mean by things have already reached such a stage? When did this Yu capture your sons? Patriarch HuangFu, why are you making things difficult for this Yu for no reason? What is the meaning of this? Do you really think that I, Yu ManLou, am easy to bully? "
"Yu ManLou, what are you still pretending for? Since things have already reached such a stage, what's the point of denying it? What kind of Tamago Family Head are you? What kind of hero are you? " Song TianQiao flew into a rage as he heard that, "You are just a coward who doesn't dare to admit what you have done?"
"Preposterous!" Behind Yu ManLou, a tall and skinny old man in black roared and was about to step forward to teach this b * st * rd who dared to insult his family head a lesson.
Yu ManLou waved his hands and stopped his subordinate from acting out. He could faintly feel that he had fallen into a huge and terrifying scheme and the target of this scheme was probably him or even the entire Tamago. From the looks of it, the young masters of the HuangFu and Song Families were probably kidnapped and the kidnappers were trying to push the blame onto him.
This matter was truly miraculous.
After traveling for more than ten days on a boat and finally arriving at Heavenly Wind, they encountered such a situation the moment they came ashore!
"Family Heads, please calm down. It won't be too late for us to settle this matter slowly." Yu ManLou said calmly. Looking at the two of them, Yu ManLou said in a low voice, "Firstly, this Yu has just arrived in Heavenly Wind and hasn't even gotten off a boat before. How would I have the ability to kidnap your sons? Secondly, even if this Yu was the one who ordered someone to do this, would I allow you to suspect me so easily? Do you think that I, Yu ManLou, am a fool? This matter was obviously a plot by someone who wished for the whole world to be plunged into chaos. They wanted to frame this Yu and kill three birds with one stone. So, the two Family Heads were merely speculating in their hearts and catching wind and shadows to denounce me. Wouldn't that be ridiculous? Let me ask you, if Tamago were to go to war with the two Family Heads because of this matter, who would benefit?! "
When he said that someone was trying to frame him, Yu ManLou glanced at Shui ManKong and thought to himself, If such a thing really happened, this smiling tiger would be the biggest suspect!
Looking at Yu ManLou's gaze and words, Shui ManKong knew that Yu ManLou was suspecting him and was intentionally pointing the spear at him. However, Shui ManKong merely smiled and walked forward to explain everything to Yu ManLou.
In truth, Shui ManKong had never suspected Yu ManLou from the start to the end. That was because Yu ManLou had come to Heavenly Wind for a battle. If he were to offend the HuangFu and Song Families at the same time, the pressure on him would be even greater. Even if he were to do so, it would only be logical for him to do so after the battle. Besides, Tamago's influence in Heavenly Star had already reached its peak in the past thousand years. If the Sky Alliance really belonged to Tamago, the Shui Family would have no chance of competing with Tamago. Putting all the above points together, it was impossible for this matter to be done by Tamago.
"Sky Alliance …" Yu ManLou muttered to himself and a thought flashed through his mind. However, the thought only lasted for a moment and he returned to his dazed state. After a long while, Yu ManLou turned around to look at HuangFu YanHan and Song TianQiao and said solemnly, "A man dares to take responsibility for his actions. However, this matter is definitely not done by this Yu and the Sky Alliance is definitely not under Tamago. It doesn't matter if the two Family Heads believe me or not. If the two of you insist that this Yu is the one who did it and insist on finding your son from me, it is fine. No matter what, this Yu will accept it! "
As he said that, he turned around and said slowly, "However, when the truth of this matter comes to light, the two Family Heads will have to pay the price for your actions today! While the Jade of Heavenly Star isn't a large family, there has never been a person who dares to speak to me in such a manner! "
Although Yu Manlou said those words in a slow and low voice, there was a dense killing intent in his words that almost caused the air to stop flowing! The imposing aura of such a peerless expert filled the entire pier. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters.
