Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 60: Old acquaintances meet and smell alcohol

The person who transmitted the message was Qingyang. Judging from his expression, his injuries had almost recovered. When he saw Wuzhan, he was so angry that he couldn't move his eyes. Beside him were He Biliu who was laughing sneeringly, the hunched old camel Qianshan, and another old man wearing a star crown and a blue Taoist robe, with an immortal look, flowing silver beard, and a bright face. His cultivation was not inferior to Longquan. Beside him was a red-eyed dwarf man who looked very weird. Behind these people were a dozen men in black, and they were coming aggressively.

When Wuzhan saw these people, he was overwhelmed with worry and thought to himself, "I'm not going to make it through this level today!"

Chang Buyu glared at He Biliu, biting his tongue tightly and said fiercely: "He Biliu, I wonder how long you can survive today!"

He Biliu laughed and said, "You are so arrogant, don't let your tongue get hurt. Hehe, so your master is here!"

There was obvious contempt in He Biliu's message. Chang Buyu was so angry that he wanted to rush up and fight He Biliu to the death. He turned around to see what Long Quan meant and saw that Longquan was looking at the old man next to He Biliu calmly, as if he didn't hear what He Biliu said.

The old man smiled at Xiao Yuzhen and said loudly: "It's been many years since we last met, but your temper hasn't changed at all!"

Xiao Yuzhen stared at the old man coldly and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yuan, are you still alive?"

When everyone heard the name 'Jiang Yuan', they were shocked. They had all heard of an incident more or less. Nearly twenty years ago, a murderous devil suddenly appeared. Within a month, he slaughtered more than a dozen sects one after another, shocking the world of cultivation. Many righteous cultivators hunted for him everywhere, and finally found his traces near Jiuxiang and besieged him. The specific details were not very clear, only the final result was known. At that time, many masters died in that battle, including Master Jiang Yuan. The 'Drunken Sword God' has disappeared since then.

Jiang Yuan stroked his silver beard and laughed, "Just survive!"

"Since you are alive, why did you show up only now? Are you afraid of others asking about what happened back then?"

Jiang Yuan said: "I was lucky to survive that battle. I have been recovering from my injuries over the years. What happened back then is in the past and I don't want to talk about it anymore."

Xiao Yuzhen giggled and said, "It seems that you have obtained the Secret of Immortality?"

Everyone was speechless, no one had expected that what happened that year was actually related to "The Secret of Immortality". They rubbed their eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "If I had obtained the Secret of Immortality, how could I be here? It was just a scam and we were all fooled."

After listening to this, Xiao Yuzhen glanced at Wuzhan and continued: "I didn't expect that you also joined the court. Do you believe in the theory of deification?" Many people knew about this and were not surprised.

Jiang Yuan said: "Not only do I believe in it, but I am also preparing for it. The invitation letter I sent to you is my recommendation."

Xiao Yuzhen giggled and said, "It seems that I have to thank you today, but I am used to being unruly and always ordering others around. How can I bear your restraint?"

Jiang Yuan said with regret: "Everyone has their own ambitions. It doesn't matter if you don't join us!" He paused and said: "But I came here today. I'm sure you know that I came here for this kid. As long as he hands over the 'Five Color Stone', I will definitely not make things difficult for you!"

Wuzhan was shocked when he heard this. "How does he know I have the five-colored stone? Can he see what's inside my Qiankun Jade?"

Xiao Yuzhen looked at Wuzhan, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "He doesn't have the five-colored stone you want. I have checked it. If he has it, I will return it to you."

Jiang Yuan said: "Of course I believe this, but this 'Five Color Stone' is of great importance. This guy must know where it is. Can I ask this fellow 'Ghost Eye' to use the 'Insight Technique' to check it out?"

'Insight' uses the caster's consciousness to forcibly enter the mind of the person being insightd and retrieve the memories in the mind. It is an extremely evil spell, but this spell has a condition. It requires the caster's consciousness to be stronger than the person being insightd in order to be performed. If Wuzhai is insighted, it should be easy. Everyone looked at him with expectation.

Xiao Yuzhen's eyes were flickering and her thoughts were racing. If Wuzhan really knew the secret of immortality, then it would be known to others. With so many people around and she was seriously injured, it would be difficult to take him away. But if Wuzhan didn't know the secret of immortality, then it proved that Wuzhan had deceived her, and she would not keep him. In fact, she also wanted to know whether Wuzhan had deceived her, but not now.

If she did not allow Jiang Yuan to send people to investigate, they would certainly not let them go. By then, it would be difficult for her to resist once Jiang Yuan made a move, and Wuzhan would eventually be taken away by them. After all, she could not take Wuzhan away today no matter what. She had no choice but to fight or not. This reminded her of the situation when various sects besieged Cangshan 20 years ago. She was also seriously injured at that time. She could choose to abandon the mountain and flee, but she did not. She chose to fight to the end until the last enemy was killed.

Xiao Yuzhen's face turned cold, and she said to Jiang Yuan, "Not today. I promised to bring him back to Cangshan. If you want to investigate, you can follow me to Cangshan."

How could Jiang Yuan let the tiger go back to the mountain? He smiled and said, "I advise you not to ask for trouble. I promise that as long as I find out the whereabouts of the five-colored stone, I will never make things difficult for him." Xiao Yuzhen still had the same attitude, "Not today!" The air suddenly became cold, and everyone retreated again. It was another rare duel.

Jiang Yuan said slightly: "It seems that I have no choice but to offend you today. Considering that you are seriously injured, I will give you three moves. Go ahead!" He made a move with both palms, the true energy surged, and the cold air was pressing. Although the sun was scorching in the sky, his whole body was covered with a layer of mist.

Xiao Yuzhen once again took out the dark dagger, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and forcibly mobilized the internal energy in his body. A black shadow flashed, stirring up a strong wind, and suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yuan. The black light exploded and pierced Jiang Yuan's chest. This sword was as fast as lightning.

Jiang Yuan remained calm and did not dodge. When the dark sword was about to pierce his chest, he clapped his hands and a foot-thick layer of ice formed in front of his palm. With a 'bang', the dagger stabbed forward, but the sword only penetrated an inch. The black air hit the ice and disappeared.

Xiao Yuzhen was shocked by the true energy, and this time she couldn't hold back the blood that was rushing up, which spurted out. She took a step back before she could stand firm.

"Ice Palm!" someone exclaimed. No one could practice Ice Palm to such a level. The level of practice must be higher than Long Quan's.

Jiang Yuan pushed the ice in front of his palm out. After it landed on the ground, it shattered and instantly turned into water vapor. He said in a deep voice: "That's one move. It's not too late to stop now!"

Xiao Yuzhen sneered, "It's just one move, there are still two moves left, don't be complacent!" She stepped lightly and swung the sword again, but the sword light was obviously not as good as the previous one.

Jiang Yuan snorted lightly and condensed into solid ice again, ready to resist. However, when Xiao Yuzhen was about to pierce the ice, the tip of the sword turned, and two black lights gushed out, bypassing the ice to the left and right and rushing to both sides of Jiang Yuan. If he was hit, he would surely die from the poison.

Xiao Yuzhen knew from the first thrust of her sword that she could not break the ice. The only way to hurt Jiang Yuan was to avoid the ice. Just when the poisonous black light was about to hit Jiang Yuan, a thin layer of ice suddenly grew around Jiang Yuan. With a bang, the black light hit the thin ice, which shattered, but Jiang Yuan was unharmed.

Xiao Yuzhen didn't stop, and her figure flashed to Jiang Yuan's side, her clothes fluttering quickly, with a flash of silver light, hundreds of steel needles shot out, Jiang Yuan's whole body of true energy shook, a layer of solid ice covered his body, with a "crackling" sound, and the steel needles fell to the ground one after another.

Xiao Yuzhen gathered all her true energy, transformed it into a beam of black light, and stabbed towards Jiang Yuan. This was her last chance. If this move couldn't break the ice, then she would have to accept her fate today.

"Three moves have been made, watch out!" Jiang Yuan slapped out with his palm, and a piece of solid ice hit Xiao Yuzhen's dagger. The speed was too fast, and Xiao Yuzhen had no time to dodge, so he could only crash into it. With a 'bang', the solid ice shattered, and countless pieces of ice, carrying cold air, hit Xiao Yuzhen's body. Xiao Yuzhen never expected such a change, and in desperation, he mobilized the remaining true energy to protect his body.

The broken ice hit Xiao Yuzhen's Qi with a continuous roar until Xiao Yuzhen was knocked several feet away. He fell to the ground, let out a "wow" and spat out a column of blood.

Xiao Yuzhen felt pain all over her body and had a dizzy feeling in her head. After fighting for so long today with her injuries, it was already her limit. With Jiang Yuan's cultivation level, she would not be able to defeat him even if she was not injured. She was powerless to do anything about the following things.

Everyone was stunned, and Longquan was also extremely surprised that Jiang Yuan's cultivation level was so much higher than Xiao Yuzhen's.

Wuzhan whispered behind Xiao Yuzhen: "Holy Mother, I know you have tried your best. If I can survive today, I will definitely tell you!" The implication was that Xiao Yuzhen should give up resistance and leave.

When Qin Moyao heard what Wuzhan said, she thought to herself, "Didn't you say that you lied to her? Do you really know the spell? If you did, why didn't you tell me and instead lied to me!" Those eyes began to only look at Wuzhan again.

Xiao Yuzhen covered her chest with one hand and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the other hand. She smiled and said, "Good boy, I was right about you, but today I have to break my promise!" After that, she suddenly turned her body and jumped behind Wuzhan. She put her palm on Wuzhan's back, looked at Jiang Yuan with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't let us go today, then I will have to beat this kid to death!"

Jiang Yuan's face condensed, then he smiled slightly, stood with his hands behind his back and said: "You forgot, if he died, it would be easier for us to find out what we want!"

He stretched out his hand, shook his wrist, and with a "buzz" sound, he condensed his hand into an ice sword without any hesitation and pierced Wuzhan's chest. The speed was so fast that it was likely to kill Wuzhan.

Xiao Yuzhen had not expected that Jiang Yuan would be so decisive. She was so shocked that she pushed Wuzhan away, and she could no longer dodge. At that moment, she understood that Jiang Yuan was more ruthless than her. He had expected that she would push Wuzhan away. Seeing that the ice sword was about to pierce her chest, she felt relieved instead and asked herself, "Will he be sad?"

With a loud bang, the ice sword shattered, the sword energy vibrated, and debris flew everywhere. Everyone's ears buzzed. Xiao Yuzhen closed his eyes slightly and sniffed his strong nose, as if he was enjoying the long-lost smell of alcohol.
