River West Corridor, Fiend God Stronghold, banners fluttered in the wind.
Three hundred miles of corridor, dozens of strongholds were gathered here. The River West Bandits drank big bowls of wine and ate big chunks of meat. A few of them were bold and unrestrained. They hugged the women they had stolen and did dirty things. It was so noisy that the banners fluttered.
Zhao Xuyang had not raised his head since he sat down. He poured bowl after bowl of strong wine into his mouth. His bloodshot eyes were almost burning. There were eight leaders beside him. In addition to Li Yuanyang, who was roasting chicken fifteen miles away, these ten people were the leaders of the ten strongholds of the River West Bandits.
These ten people had the final say in the affairs of the West River Bandits. Therefore, when Li Yuanyang sent someone to pass the message that the Xiu Xiu would be delivered within four hours, the largest gathering of the West River Bandits in the last few decades began.
"Wine!" Zhao Xuyang put down the empty wine jar heavily, and a thick smell of wine came out.
Seeing this, the old man laughed and said, "Crazy Demon, if I were you, I would drink less. Otherwise, after you kill the killing cultivator, you will forget about it after you sober up. We won't know where to find another killing cultivator for you to vent your anger on."
"Simple. Have another son and die again." Gou Jianyang, the leader of the Fiend God Stronghold, smiled sinisterly.
Zhao Xuyang slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Gou Jianyang and cursed, "You bastard, say that again!"
"Hmph." Gou Jianyang could not be bothered with the drunkard. He turned to the old man and sneered, "This is really strange. Your nine strongholds are in a mess because of a killing cultivator. I can understand that you want to hold a meeting to vent your anger, but who came up with the stupid idea to hold this meeting in my Fiend God Stronghold?"
The old man coughed a few times and muttered, "Li Yuanyang said that the killing cultivator would come to your Fiend God Stronghold sooner or later. We thought he was right, so here we are."
Gou Jianyang was so angry that he rolled his eyes, but there was nothing he could do. The ten strongholds of the River West Bandits were of the same branch. He could only vent his anger. Just as he was about to drink some wine to soothe his wounded heart, he heard chaotic shouts coming from outside the stronghold.
"Go take a look, what's happening …"
Bang!
Before Gou Jianyang could finish giving the order, the gate of the Fiend God Stronghold was kicked into two. The noise of the West River Bandits Gathering was also blown away by this loud noise.
Dressed in black, Young Master Xu walked into the Fiend God Stronghold calmly as though he was walking into his own backyard.
It was just like how the Fiend God Stronghold was completely silent at this moment. Other than the crackling of the firewood and the sizzling of the roast chicken in the cave, there was nothing else in the cave. It was eerily quiet.
Actually, a quarter of an hour ago, when Yin Tian'er woke up and saw Li Yuanyang, she burst into tears. Although the relationship between her Yin Family and Bandits of Hexi was filled with blood and corpses, and there was no affection but hatred, today's encounter had erased Yin Tian'er's understanding of this aspect. Simply put, seeing Li Yuanyang was like seeing a family member.
But just as she was about to recount her painful experience, she inadvertently saw a certain person who had not moved. She was stunned for a moment, and then she let out a piercing scream.
After the scream, no matter how Li Yuanyang asked her, she did not speak. She only hugged her knees, staring blankly at the fire and crying.
Xie Tian was also looking at the fire. More accurately, it was the roasted chicken that was emitting a tempting fragrance. Li Yuanyang counted. In the entire process, Xie Tian had swallowed his saliva twenty-six times.
He was really hungry.
Hence, Li Yuanyang was rarely honest. After he was done roasting, he directly handed the chicken to Xie Tian.
Xie Tian looked at him, not saying a word.
"Sigh, sorry, sorry. I forgot that your limbs are all broken." Li Yuanyang felt a little guilty, but he did not do anything. He only smiled and said, "Just make do with it. I'll hold it, and you can eat it. Be careful, it's hot."
Yin Tian'er's eyes turned. She could not understand the two people in front of her. One was an unforgivable killer cultivator, and the other was a West River Bandit who had captured a killer cultivator. The two of them should not be able to coexist with each other. Helping to roast the chicken was one thing, but now, not only was she feeding it, she was also worried about burning the other …
"Could it be that Li Yuanyang has taken a liking to him …"
Her family's evaluation of Li Yuanyang surfaced in her mind. Yin Tian'er suddenly shivered. Then, she shifted her butt back and looked at Xie Tian timidly.
Compared to seven days ago, Xie Tian had changed a lot. Under Li Yuanyang's ruthless attacks, Xie Tian had almost lost his human form. Yin Tian'er could still recognize him at a glance, but she did not dare to reveal that she had seen Xie Tian before.
First, it was because of guilt. At least, in her opinion, Xie Tian had fallen into such a state because she had guided the West River Bandit to draw a line on the map.
Second, it was because of the two words "killer cultivator". In her eyes, anyone who embarked on the path of killer cultivators could not be called a human. They could only be evil spirits or demons.
Third, the most important reason was that Li Yuanyang was just beside her. If she revealed that she knew Xie Tian, it might give the West River Bandit an excuse. Then, the rules that they had followed for decades would be gone.
Although the West River Bandit had been following the rules for decades, the Yin Family knew very well that this group of evil bandits was getting more and more dissatisfied with the rules. They had been looking for a chance to break the oath. Once the West River Bandit succeeded, the Yin Family would be in grave danger.
Therefore, other than screaming at the beginning, she sealed her mouth and her curiosity. Li Yuanyang thought that Yin Tian'er had been frightened by Xie Tian's tragic state and did not think too much about it.
Seeing that Yin Tian'er had started to look at Xie Tian secretly, Li Yuanyang smiled and said, "Miss Yin Tian'er, this person is the public enemy of the martial world who killed cultivators in the West River Corridor. Fortunately, with your help, I finally captured him. I will send him to the Fiend God Stronghold later to be executed by a thousand cuts."
When Yin Tian'er heard this, she could not help but shiver. She wished she could tear Li Yuanyang's mouth apart. She glanced at Xie Tian in fear. When she realized that he was not moving, her rapid heartbeat calmed down.
"No, no, no. It's not me. It has nothing to do with me!" Yin Tian'er hurriedly explained. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked anxiously, "Owner Li, other than you, are the other nine strongholds' Chiefs in the Fiend God Stronghold?"
"Haha, they have been waiting for me to return with the killer cultivators in the Fiend God Stronghold." Li Yuanyang turned the branch and changed the side of the roast chicken. He then asked, "Why? Is Miss Yin looking for me?"
Yin Tian'er stood up with slight pleasant surprise when she heard this. "Owner Li, why don't we set out right now?"
Li Yuanyang chuckled and shook his head. "Miss Yin, I've treated you with sincerity, yet you're still unwilling to answer me. Unless you tell me what happened to the Yin Family's merchant group, otherwise, I won't bring you to the Fiend God Stronghold."
Yin Tian'er struggled for a short while, and then she could only speak with a sobbing tone. "My Yin Family …"
"I don't eat chicken buttocks. Change to another one." Yin Tian'er had just spoken three words when Xie Tian interrupted her.
A strange light flickered in Li Yuanyang's eyes as he glanced at Xie Tian, then glanced at Yin Tian'er who was in a daze. He smiled as he picked up the second chicken and brought it to Xie Tian's mouth.
Yin Tian'er seemed to have suddenly understood something. After she glanced at Li Yuanyang, she sat down and continued hugging her knees. She wasn't willing to speak another word.
A strand of coldness flashed in Li Yuanyang's eyes, yet he smiled. "Looks like Miss Yin really has something that you can't speak of. Nevermind, once I'm done with the matters here, I'll bring Miss Yin to the Fiend God Stronghold. What do you think?"
"Alright." Yin Tian'er was a man of few words, and she wanted to conceal her feelings as much as possible. Yet she didn't know that Li Yuanyang had noticed the trace of pleasant surprise that flashed in her eyes since long ago, and he instantly came to an understanding in his heart.
"Hehe, something really did happen to the Yin Family's merchant group. They're heading to the Fiend God Stronghold because they want to borrow the strength of us, the Bandits of West River, to resolve the crisis." Li Yuanyang roasted the third chicken as he pondered. "There's only one condition for us, the Bandits of West River, to make a move for the Yin Family, and that is to produce the token of the oath from all those years ago in front of the leaders of the ten great strongholds!"
"Could it be that the token of the oath is in Yin Tian'er's hands? If I'm able to obtain it, then wouldn't my prestige in the Bandits of West River increase greatly? "Li Yuanyang's left hand suddenly trembled a few times. This was a display of the extreme excitement in his heart.
As if he'd recovered some strength after finishing the first chicken, Xie Tian ate the second chicken swiftly. All the meat was stuffed into his mouth, yet he couldn't swallow it, and he looked as if he was choking.
Yin Tian'er was slightly worried when she saw this. Killing cultivators deserved to die, but if he choked to death, then that wouldn't be a tragedy at all. Right, even though she wouldn't save him, she couldn't let him choke to death.
But right when she raised her head and was about to remind Li Yuanyang to serve Xie Tian water, she saw this strange scene. A person with all four limbs severed suddenly stretched out his right hand and picked up the water bottle beside him. He pulled out the cork and poured the water into his mouth.
"He, he, he …"
The frightened Yin Tian'er pointed at Xie Tian. She was so scared that she couldn't even speak. Li Yuanyang suddenly came back to his senses, but it wasn't because of Yin Tian'er's shout. Instead, it was because his sensitive nose had smelled something that could kill him!
"Scarlet Alumina Liquid!"
Li Yuanyang was frightened out of his wits. He hurriedly took a few steps back and followed the smell to look at Xie Tian.
Thus, he saw Xie Tian pouring the scarlet alumina liquid into his mouth. He understood that Xie Tian had looked at the water bottle several times and said that he wanted to drink water, but in fact, he wanted to commit suicide!
At the same time, he also saw Xie Tian's mocking eyes. He also understood that wanting to obtain the complete Essence Cultivation Technique from him was just wishful thinking!
In an instant, Li Yuanyang understood all of Xie Tian's thoughts. Because letting him taste the sweetness of absolute beauty before killing his hope was the greatest harm to himself! This kind of harm was enough to make him die with everlasting regret!
"If I don't let you die, who would dare to let you die!"
Li Yuanyang's eyes turned bloodshot. A stream of inner Qi shot out from his right palm and opened Xie Tian's water bottle. Then, he rushed five feet in front of Xie Tian and prepared to use his inner Qi to force the scarlet alumina liquid out of Xie Tian's mouth!
But at this moment, a miserable bear's cry came from the hole above the three of them.
In his rage, Li Yuanyang subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky.
Young Master Xu also raised his head to look at the sky. He rubbed his slightly painful right palm and continued to walk forward, ignoring Gou Jianyang, who had been sent flying by him.
Gou Jianyang, who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood, pointed at Young Master Xu's back with a trembling finger. His face was full of hatred, but he couldn't say a word.
The Master of Fiend God Stronghold had fallen with one move. No one dared to stop Young Master Xu. First, it was because the person who came was invincible. Second, it was because the person's identity was enough to easily destroy the Three Hundred Li West River Stronghold.
Young Master Xu walked to Gou Jianyang's seat and turned to sit down. He didn't speak, but stared at the setting sun in the west. Although the setting sun was red, it was not as glaring as the blood he had seen in his life.
"This is my first time here, and I have no other requests." Young Master Xu finally moved. He grabbed the wine jar on the table and waved it at the nine leaders of the strongholds. He said calmly, "It just so happens that the leaders are all here. Accompany me to watch the sunset!"
Inside the hole, the two looked at the sky.
Unfortunately, what they saw was not the beautiful setting sun, but a screaming bear falling from the sky.
Only Xie Tian didn't raise his head. Because before he poured the scarlet alumina liquid, he knew that someone else had fallen. He had paid the price of being covered in wounds, the two sets of moves of the Essence Cultivation Skill, and his broken limbs to finally get the best opportunity.
So when Li Yuanyang raised his head in shock, he used all his strength to spit out the chicken meat and scarlet alumina liquid in his mouth!
