Chapter 1290 1290: The Young Man in Blue

Ba Nian was so scared his guts nearly burst, looking toward Wu Zihua and pleading, "Elder Wu, save me, save me..."

Wu Zihua was in a daze, completely ignoring Ba Nian's plea for help, but he looked at Qin Yi, "The Sword Sect's branch, is it really gone?"

Qin Yi looked at him indifferently.

Wu Zihua trembled all over, feeling cold to the bone.

"Your grandson is fine, you can leave now, don't force me to kill you. You should know, I really don't like you."

Wu Zihua's eyes were dazed, the Sword Sect branch was destroyed, where could he go? He bowed his head and thought for a while, then walked away numbly into the distance; he now had to find his grandson first.

Ba Nian felt as if struck by lightning, his face ashen, "Elder Wu, Elder Wu..."

However, Wu Zihua seemed dumbfounded, showing no reaction, staggering forward with a hunched body.

The Sword Sect was the ruler of the entire Southern Middle State, they were proud and arrogant to be a part of the Sword Sect. But Qin Yi destroyed the Sword Sect's branch, directly shattering their pride.

Only now did they realize the Sword Sect was not invincible nor indestructible.

Ba Nian was so scared he wet himself, his heart palpitating as he looked at Yun Mengyao.

Yun Mengyao's face was filled with killing intent, "No one can save you, go down to Hell and repent to the Ran Family."

"Ah!" Ba Nian suddenly let out a roar, his aura surged, he didn't want to die and was preparing for a desperate struggle.

"A futile struggle." Yun Mengyao sneered, spreading her wings as cold glints shot out like meteors.

"Puff puff...!"

Clouds of blood mist exploded, Ba Nian was directly shot into a sieve, his body heavily fell to the ground.

Yun Mengyao looked disdainful, "Killing a beast like you really dirtied my hands."

Saying this, she returned to Qin Yi's side, "Miss Ran should be able to rest in peace now."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

After killing Ba Nian, the two left.

...

...

"Qin Yi, I think we should go back the way we came."

In a tavern, Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao were eating, and upon hearing Yun Mengyao's words, Qin Yi looked at her in surprise, "Are you crazy? It took us three months traveling day and night to get here, now going back, are we survey robots?"

Yun Mengyao replied irritably, "But you destroyed the Sword Sect's branch, you humiliated them, do you think they will let you go? The branch is just a branch, but the Sword Sect is the Sword Sect, they are not the same. I'm not underestimating you, the Sword Sect didn't become the dominant force in the Southern Middle State by luck. I really don't fancy your chances against the Sword Sect."

"Thank you very much!" Qin Yi replied irritably.

"You're welcome, after all, I've always considered you my close friend, and I don't want you to get chopped to pieces by a thousand swords in the Southern Middle State."

Qin Yi ground his teeth, almost unable to stop himself from throwing the half bowl of rice in his hand at Yun Mengyao's face.

"Using my words is like chewing the bread I've eaten, does it taste good?"

Suddenly, the delicious food in front of Yun Mengyao didn't seem tasty anymore; she even felt a bit sick.

She glared at Qin Yi indignantly, "I'm sincerely thinking of you, don't be ungrateful."

Qin Yi laughed, "In any case, I won't go back; my time is precious. Who's like you, wasting time?"

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Afraid!"

"Then listen to me, go back the way we came."

Qin Yi laughed, "Even if I don't return the same way, I won't die. What about the Sword Sect? If they dare provoke me, I'll deal with them."

"What courage, brother."

Just as Yun Mengyao was about to speak, a young man dressed in blue tight attire with a handsome face suddenly turned around from a nearby table and spoke.

Yun Mengyao frowned slightly, "How could you be so unethical to eavesdrop on others? Didn't your parents teach you not to see or listen to things improperly?"

The young man was holding a wine cup, appearing to want to toast Qin Yi. Hearing Yun Mengyao's words, he couldn't help but feel awkward and chuckled dryly, "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, it's just that you two speak so loudly."

"So now it's our fault?" Yun Mengyao frowned.

The young man chuckled dryly, "No, I was wrong for eavesdropping, I'll punish myself with a drink."

With that, he drained the wine from his glass and turned it upside down to show Yun Mengyao.

Yun Mengyao's expression softened a bit, "Since you have a good attitude, I won't argue with you. Now turn around, eat your meal, close your ears, and don't eavesdrop. Also, keep your mouth shut, don't talk, and don't spread what you heard, or I'll make you a eunuch."

The young man in blue clamped his legs together, looking terrified, and whispered, "Fairy, how do I eat if I keep my mouth shut?"

Yun Mengyao's almond eyes widened.

The young man in blue shrank back, "I'm seriously asking."

"Use your nose to eat."

"Cough cough..." Qin Yi had just taken a bite of food, and upon hearing Yun Mengyao's words, he choked, coughing repeatedly.

The young man in blue was left stunned, mouth agape.

Yun Mengyao glared at the young man in blue, "What are you looking at, never seen a beauty? Turn back, and if you dare turn again, I'll cut your nose off."

The young man in blue quickly covered his nose, and after a while, he quietly extended one finger.

"What do you want?" Yun Mengyao said irritably.

The young man in blue cautiously spoke up, "Can I say one thing?"

"You just did."

The young man in blue: "..."

Yun Mengyao found the young man in blue quite amusing and frowned, "Okay, I'll allow you to say one thing, just one."

The young man in blue said, "You're heading to Northern Central State, right? I know a way through Hell's Scar."

Qin Yi's expression did not change, but Yun Mengyao was stunned.

After a long time, she asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's true, I swear!" The young man in blue raised his hand.

Yun Mengyao said, "Why should I trust you?"

"This..." The young man in blue thought for a moment and said, "I can take you there. If you find out I'm lying, Fairy, your cultivation is profound; you can control me anytime."

Yun Mengyao nodded slightly, "That makes sense."

"Pfft!"

Qin Yi couldn't hold it in anymore, spraying the tea he just drank out.

Yun Mengyao dodged in panic, almost getting splashed in the face, glaring at Qin Yi furiously, "Did you do that on purpose, or was it an accident?"

Qin Yi wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth and laughed, "I'm really about to cry from your foolishness."

"What do you mean?" Yun Mengyao said angrily.

Qin Yi laughed, "Shouldn't you be asking this young man why he is helping us? Instead of just believing him when he compliments you once."

Yun Mengyao's cheeks flushed, "I was just about to ask, but you interrupted."

Saying this, she looked at the young man in blue, "Why are you helping us?"

The young man in blue smiled innocently, "Because you both look kind, and just seem like good people."

Yun Mengyao was dumbfounded, not expecting such an answer. She wasn't dumb either and coldly said, "Stop trying to play tricks on me, do you believe I won't turn you into a eunuch right now?"

The young man in blue looked horrified.

Qin Yi beckoned him over, "Come sit."
