The old man walked on the Surge River.
All the tourists by the river watched that blankly. Ye Wen and Ou Lan were among them.
Everyone only saw the old man's face clearly when he got closer.
It was an old man in traditional attire who looked to be in his 60s or 70s. He stood with his arms behind his back. He looked a little hunched and old, but the aura he exuded was terrifying as if it was going to destroy everything.
At that moment, the people heard the sound of brakes coming from behind. They turned their heads to look and saw tens of cars parked on the road by the river. They formed a long queue.
As the car doors opened, up to a hundred men in suits walked out of the cars. The leader was a bald hunk.
Everyone walked toward the river at the same time.
Nobody dared to call out as they were anxious.
The bald hunk led the people to the river. He bowed and clasped his fists at the old man who was walking on the river. "Greetings, Master Yuan!"
"Greetings, Master Yuan!"
The tens of people behind him bowed and clasped their fists at the same time. They spoke in unison and looked extremely serious.
The old man leaped up and took the last step on the river. Finally, he stood by the river and smiled with his hands behind his back. "Xiao Feng, it's very thoughtful of you to go through so much trouble to welcome this old man."
The bald hunk snapped to attention and said immediately, "You're flattering me, Master Yuan. If not for you back then, I might've been dead."
The old man nodded and glanced at the tourists around who were panicking. He said expressionlessly, "How's the thing that I asked you to find out?"
"Master Yuan, the person who killed Brother Gu is called Ye Chen, also known as Master Ye. He's a local from Lin City. He's 30 years old, and his parents are still alive.
He has a daughter, "the bald hunk said respectfully," This man disappeared mysteriously five years ago and has only returned over a month ago. Not only does he possess shocking abilities, but he's also very close to the local tyrant, Lin Tai, and the wealthy Gu family … "
Nobody noticed that Ye Chen and Ou Lan, who were far away, had a change of expression when they heard the name Ye Chen.
The old man frowned, seeming to be a little upset. "I don't want to know that. I just want to know where he is."
"This Master Ye isn't in Lin City at the moment. I've sent people to find out …"
The bald hunk wiped his sweat and said carefully, "Master Yuan, do you think he ran away because he knew that you're coming?"
"He ran away?"
The old man's expression turned grim as if he was disappointed. "Get the Gu family to tell this person that I, Yuan Bupo, am here. We'll see who's better and who's dead on the Surge River in three days!"
"Otherwise, this old man doesn't mind personally entering the city and using the blood of his family to pay tribute to the souls of my two disciples!"
"Yes!"
The bald man responded and said with some fear, "But Master Yuan, what if the Gu Clan helps him?"
"Gu family?"
The old man smirked in disdain with his arms behind his back. "The Gu family wouldn't dare to do that. Even if the Martial Alliance's masters were to attack, I, Yuan Bupo, wouldn't be afraid, let alone the Gu family!"
Twenty years, a whole twenty years.
Twenty years ago, he was already at the Innate Stage, a Martial Dao Grandmaster who stood at the peak of China.
He was one of the Eastern Superior, Western Overlord, Southern Killer, Northern Devil, and Zhongwen Sword.
However, he was chased by a farmer carrying a hoe for three days and three nights. In the end, he had no choice but to hide in the Shiwan Mountains. For twenty years, as long as he went down the mountain, the farmer's hoe would appear.
'It seems like the world has forgotten about me, Yuan Bupo!
'Forget it. I'll use Master Ye's blood to prove to the world when I go down the mountain this time. My name, Southern Killer Yuan, hasn't dimmed over time even though I've been hiding for twenty years.
'And that farmer from back then, that hoe is despicable. I'll find you sooner or later!'
The old man stood against the wind, exuding a terrifying pressure from his body. The river behind him seemed to be boiling, causing the bald man and the rest to kneel on the ground.
…
Ye Wen and Ou Lan only regained their freedom after the old man and the rest got into the car and left.
Ye Wen took a deep breath in. "Sister Ou Lan, did you hear who they were talking about?"
"I'm not sure."
Ou Lan clenched her fists and stammered.
Ye Chen!
So, the person these people were looking for was Mr. Ye!
And that old man could walk on the river.
'Mr. Ye, oh, Mr. Ye, what exactly did you do?!'
Ye Wen hesitated and subsequently clenched her teeth softly. "No, I must inform my cousin and ask him to run. Sister Ou Lan, you should go back. This has nothing to do with you."
She turned around and ran home without waiting for Ou Lan's response. She was panicking.
She had missed it many times.
She could not afford to be wrong this time.
"Wait, Wenwen. I'll go with you."
Ou Lan took a deep breath and followed her immediately.
…
At the same time, at the Gu residence.
Gu Yingying and Old Master Gu were sitting across each other. The old master's face was grim, and there was anxiety between his brows.
"Grandpa, what exactly happened?"
Gu Yingying asked in confusion. In her memory, she had never seen her grandpa lose his composure like today.
"That person is here," the old master sighed.
Gu Yingying was even more confused now. "Who? Why are you so nervous? "
The old master spat a few words out of his mouth in an extremely heavy tone, "The Tiannan No. 1, Yuan Bupo!"
"What?"
Gu Yingying's expression changed too. She inhaled sharply. "He's the only Martial Dao master in the three Tiannan provinces?"
"That's right."
Lao Zi forced a smile. "I received an anonymous call earlier. The person said that Yuan Bupo is here and he's here to avenge his disciple. He's challenging Master Ye to a battle on the Surge River in three days. We'll fight to the death!"
Yuan Bupo was an old Martial Dao master who was famous 20 years ago. How could Mr. Ye be his match?
"Grandpa, could it be a prank?" Gu Yingying said with a grim expression on her pretty face.
The old master shook his head. "That's impossible. Not many people know who Yuan Bupo is. Even if they do, they wouldn't dare to joke around with a master. Moreover, Master Ye killed two of Yuan Bupo's disciples. Nobody would be able to sit still."
"So, what should we do now?"
Gu Yingying got up and paced around the living room. She seemed to have thought of something. "Should we get Uncle Xiao from the municipal bureau to send the police to search for him? We'll capture Yuan Bupo before they fight. "
"Capture? How? Little girl, you've underestimated how terrifying a Martial Dao master is. "
The old man laughed in exasperation. "The elites under your Uncle Xiao might be able to deal with ordinary people, but in the eyes of a Martial Dao Grand Master, they can destroy hundreds of people with a single palm strike. Other than large caliber weapons and heavy artillery, nothing can hurt him."
In reality, there was something that he did not say. Little Xiao would not be able to mess things up just for Yuan Bupo, and the higher-ups would not allow it.
