Chapter 265 - The Anecdotal Grotesque

“I know him. Who is he?”

Yang Junshan was startled, and asked.

Bao Yuer pursed her lips into a smile, and said: “Sister Jiu Li asked me to tell you, the one who injured her was the Tan Xi Sect female cultivator who bought your Chess!”

Yan Qinxi, how could it be her?

Just as Yang Junshan was in a slight daze, he heard Bao Yuer continue to speak: “At that time, Team Thirteen, where Big Sister Jiu Li was staying, was on patrol in Sunset Ridge, but Lin Yuehua discovered the traces of a group of mysterious cultivators. After fighting each other for a while, that group of cultivators finally managed to escape, and Sister Jiu Li was injured by that group of cultivators.

Yang Junshan knew her true strength. Even though he was only at the first level of the Power Spell Realm, her true strength was comparable to an ordinary cultivator at the second level of the martial arts realm, and the last time he saw Yan Qinxi, her cultivation was also at the second level. It could be seen from this that Yan Qinxi was not weak amongst cultivators of the same cultivation level.

Yang Junshan thought for a while, then said: “What else do you have to say for Jiu Li, say it out loud!”

Bao Yuer giggled and said: “Big Sister Jiu Li also said that her injuries aren’t serious, and told you not to worry. It seems like when they fought back then, that Tan Xi Sect’s big-eyed female cultivator also showed mercy!”

“She also said that she would soon be able to master her life weapon, and if she meets that person again, she would at least be on par with her. Furthermore, Sister Jiu Li’s cultivation is about to break through, once she advances to the second stage of the Power Mage Realm, she will have the confidence to defeat that female cultivator.”

Yang Junshan rolled his eyes, and said: “Pick up the important words!”

“Oh,” Bao Yuer said unhappily, “Big Sister Jiu Li also said that between her and Uncle Wu Shuo, there’otal of five human heads for battle achievements. She said that if you need them, you can use them.”

Yang Junshan nodded and asked: “Didn’t Jiu Li say what this group of Tan Xi Sect’s humanitarian Sunset Ridge could do?”

Big Sister Jiu Li said that they seemed to be looking for something, and she did not know their goal, but their team’s main Heaven-Shaken Sect Inner Disciple Lin Yuehua seemed to know, that after those people escaped, Lin Yuehua hurriedly brought everyone back to the stronghold, and did not even care about patrolling the border that was not completed!

Yang Junshan thought for a while, thinking back to the news that Liu Zhifei had secretly told him that there might be a mixed spirit material mine hidden underneath Sunset Ridge, could it be that Tan Xi Sect had obtained some clues from somewhere, and wanted to come up and get a share of the loot?

“What else?”

Including the great battle at the Sunset Ridge Pass, twenty small teams of border guards lost forty to fifty people in succession, and among them, the number of cultivators at the third level of the Fallen martial arts realm reached thirteen. “Yang Da said in a low voice.

Yang Junshan was startled, and said: “What’s wrong with that?”

“That rumor said, the higher the cultivation of ordinary cultivators, the higher the power, and the probability of death would be lower. But in the past month of conflict at the border, logically speaking, the majority of cultivators that died should have been early stage martial arts realm cultivators, but in reality, the number of baleful qi cultivators at the third stage of martial arts realm has almost reached one third of all the fallen cultivators. This is definitely not normal.”

Yang Junshan seemed to have guessed something, but he did not interrupt Bao Yuer’s statement, “Rumor has it that the middle stage martial arts realm cultivators of the border squad are mostly filled with the descendants of the three powerful families of Mengyu County. In a month’s time, thirteen three great powerful baleful qi cultivators have fallen.

“Isn’t this obviously saying that Heaven-Shaken Sect is the mastermind!?” However, it is really strange for so many people to die, could it be that the Heaven-Shaken Sect does have a beginning and an end? ”

Yang Junshan pouted, his face revealing a look of shock, he asked: “Are there any rumors of the three tyrants talking about how many of their families have died?”

Bao Yuer thought for a moment, then said: “I think there were more deaths in the Xiong Family, from start to finish, six of them died, adding the disappearance of Xiong Xiyi, there werotal of seven, four from the Yu Family, and two from the Ning Family.”

“What else?”

“What else? Furthermore, according to the rumors, the three tyrants of the Mengyu County were secretly colluding with the Sirius Gate and the Opening Spirit School. Otherwise, when the third team was ambushed, why would the disciples of the Ning Family of the three tyrants get injured?

As Bao Yuer said this, she naturally began to giggle softly first.

Yang Junshan rubbed his nose and laughed: “What a coincidence, with such rumors, everything can be forced!”

Yang Junshan naturally knew that the ambush that third team had suffered previously was an accident, but the cultivators of Sirius Gate truly did not have any plans to take Xiong Xiyi’s life, if they spoke the same words as the rumors, wouldn’t that mean that Liu Zhifei and Luo Bingkun, who fought equally well, were also suspected of colluding?

After passing through all the news that had come from the border in his mind, Yang Junshan asked Bao Yuer, “Has everything been going well with Senior Lin?

Bao Yuer shook his head: “Old Man Lin has been wandering around Sunset Ridge, all day long he seems to be extremely secretive, muttering some words, his entire person looked as though he had been possessed, but he kept shaking his head when he was asked, and said that he did not manage to find him.”

Yang Junshan laughed and said: “The Spiritual Seeker has its own methods of inheritance, and needs to undergo a large amount of deduction and calculation, thus it is necessary to focus all of one’s energy. Senior Lin can only be considered a third-rate Spiritual Seeker, and your cultivation is still too low, then the spirit vein that might exist under the Sunset Ridge has not been discovered for a long time.

After pausing for a moment, Yang Junshan suddenly thought of something, and said: “That’s right, little sister is also following Senior Lin to learn the Spirit Searching Technique, that place, even though it has already entered the borders of the Mengyu County, it is not without danger, and Senior Lin’s strength is already low, you should stay by Senior Lin’s side when you return, and protect the two of them.”

Bao Yuer laughed: “With Master Patriarch following us, there’s no need to worry about any danger.”

Yang Junshan said in surprise: “My father is not in the village, he is going to the border?”

Bao Yuer said: “Seems like Master Patriarch is extremely sad about the matter of the Sunset Ridge splitting up the Spirit Mine Branch Sect!”

Yang Junshan was actually thinking about whether he should go to the county city and ask to see or. With regards to the spirit vein, the two of them should be people who knew about it, and there were even people who knew of it. Although he had Liu Zhifei’s help, his power was not comparable to’s.

After sending Bao Yuer off, Yang Junshan went down the western mountain and returned to his house. From afar, he saw An Xia waiting outside the door, and when he saw Yang Junshan returning, Yang Junshan immediately came over to welcome him.

Yang Junshan was slightly stunned, then remembered that An Xia was waiting for him here. He couldn’t help but burst into laughter, and say: “Seventh Uncle, aren’t you being a little too anxious, you can just order your nephew to send it over to you, why would you wait here!”

An Xia smiled merrily: “Your uncle here has already been stuck at the second layer for a long time, and your cultivation is on the verge of being surpassed by you, but as it turns out it’s because you havreasure like Evil Essence in your hands, so of course I’m anxious to wait here!”

Yang Junshan chuckled and said: “Uncle has accumulated a lot, with the help of the baleful qi, it is definitely possible that he will succeed in condensing the third level of baleful qi. It is just that this baleful qi has already been used quite a bit by nephew before, so there isn’t much that can be given to uncle!”

An Xia did not think much of it and said: “Uncle only used the baleful liquid arimer, it’s great that you can loosen up the bottleneck for the third stage, the rest is just water grinding, it’s not like you directly used this treasure to increase your cultivation, it’s more like you, brat, are a wastrel, just how many second stage cultivators do you have to loosen the bottleneck for the next stage, to actually use the majority of the baleful liquid to raise your own cultivation?”

Yang Junshan chuckled foolishly, welcomed An Xia into his own room, and then went to the inner room. When he came out, he held a small jade bottle in his hand, inside which was a small bottle of baleful essence.

Seeing An Xia happily playing with the baleful milk in her hand, Yang Junshan softly asked: “Uncle, after your cultivation has advanced, are you going to take Little Hao and leave the Xishan Village?”

Hearing that, An Xia’s expression froze, she slowly placed the jade bottle on the table, nodded her head, and said: “I do intend to makrip, but I will not leave the Xishan Village.”

Yang Junshan’s face flashed a look of gratification, and he sighed: “Little Hao’s talent in cultivation is one in a thousand, even compared to that of the Wasteland Town’s Zhang Yueming from back then, it’s not inferior in the slightest.

When he talked about his son, An Xia’s face suddenly lit up, and laughed: “Although his talent is not bad, don’t praise him normally, in order to avoid having a proud heart, after your uncle’s cultivation has advanced, he intends to send him to a large sect, where he will cultivate. This sect is even more powerful than the Heaven-Shaken Sect, and there are many geniuses gathered, so his talent can’t be considered anything when he arrives there, I hope he will have some accomplishments in the future.”

An Xia paused for a moment, then continued: “Uncle knows that the development of the Xishan Village has reached a critical juncture, but after uncle delivers Xiao Hao to that clan, he will immediately come back to lend a hand to you father and son. Since uncle originally decided to follow your father here, you will naturally not let this matter go.”

Yang Junshan nodded his head and laughed: “To be honest, Xishan Village really cannot leave uncle today, but Little Hao’s own cultivation is more important after all. Who would have thought that in less than a year, Little Hao’s cultivation would have already reached such a level!”
