Chapter 33 Black Road Sect

"Quiet! Shui Mei, quiet!!"

Seeing Shui Mei staring wide-eyed at the corpse, completely deaf to everything in her terror, Fatty delivered a knife-hand strike to Shui Mei's neck.

Her eyes rolled back, and Shui Mei fainted. In her last moment of consciousness, she saw the bizarre, joint-twisting monster that killed the skinny guy’s companion, its finger piercing Fatty’s brain, blood already splattering everywhere. Yet, she had been knocked unconscious by the knife-hand strike.

…

Shui Mei didn't know how long she had been unconscious.

She even felt like she might be dead.

So, the feeling of death was no different from sleeping?

Slowly, she opened her eyes.

What met her was a bright night sky.

Beside her was a burning Human Soul Bonfire.

"Where am I? Who am I? What am I supposed to do?"

Accompanied by the three questions of the soul, Shui Mei's consciousness gradually cleared.

Subconsciously, she jolted upright in terror.

"Monster, monster! The monster killed…"

Shui Mei hurriedly began to speak, but she saw a stranger sitting beside her, with his back to her.

Beside the stranger, Pi Sanzai stood respectfully.

"Senior Brother Pi?"

"Shui Mei, you're awake? Come quickly and meet Lord Ye!"

"Lord Ye?"

Shui Mei looked at the man who turned around, revealing his face, with confusion.

She immediately felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember for a moment.

It wasn't until she saw the bloodstained handkerchief wrapped around the man's right hand that she gasped.

"It's you! The person who asked for directions! Your face, your injury… it's healed?"

"What asking for directions! Quickly call him Lord Ye!"

"Oh… oh, Lord Ye…"

Shui Mei was a bit confused, not understanding why Pi Sanzai's attitude had changed so drastically.

But after Pi Sanzai told her everything that had happened after she fainted, Shui Mei slowly widened her eyes, looking at Fang Yue in disbelief.

According to Pi Sanzai, after she fainted, Lord Ye, who had originally walked away, heard the commotion and rushed back to rescue them.

Lord Ye was like a god descending to earth, brave and extraordinary, slaughtering the powerful monsters they absolutely couldn't deal with one by one.

But unfortunately, before Lord Ye could arrive, Junior Brother Gang had already followed in the footsteps of the other two senior brothers, killed by the monster.

So, of the five of them, only he, Pi Sanzai, and Shui Mei remained.

"I requested Lord Ye to travel with us to Chu Nuan City. On the way… it would be good to have someone to take care of us."

While saying this, Pi Sanzai's face was faintly flushed.

Too embarrassing. He hadn't been willing to accept someone else's company before, but now he was begging someone else to travel with them.

But compared to face, life was obviously more important.

Shui Mei didn't feel much, only secretly wiping away tears as she thought of the three dead senior brothers.

"By the way, I haven't asked who you people are yet?"

Fang Yue asked at this time.

It was already night.

Under the blessing of Night Breath, his body had returned to its original state, and even the back of his hand burned by the Weeping Rain curse had grown back flesh and blood.

In addition, he had changed his clothes, so his image was very different from that of the daytime.

During the day, he was covered in bloody potholes, almost resembling a monster. Now he looked like a human again.

In the night, Fang Yue's long hair fluttered in the wind. Perhaps because his physique had become stronger after practicing martial arts, his entire temperament exuded a sense of calm charm.

Slightly dazed, Shui Mei lowered her head with a slightly flushed face: "Reporting to Lord Ye, we are all outer disciples of the Black Road Sect. This time we are going to Chu Nuan City to represent the Black Road Sect and participate in a martial arts tournament held in Chu Nuan City."

"Black Road Sect?"

Fang Yue was stunned. He seemed to have heard of it…

Oh! He remembered, wasn't this one of the three major pillars of Qing Si County!

"You are people from the Black Road Sect? Isn't the Black Road Sect in the Black Green Mountain Range? Did you come from the Black Green Mountain Range?"

Hearing Fang Yue's words, the two were a little confused.

They looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Lord Ye, we are native Black Road Village people from Black Road Mountain. The Black Road Sect's sect is on Black Road Mountain, not in the Black Green Mountain Range."

Fang Yue was taken aback, and then realized that the Black Road Sect in the Black Green Mountain Range was simply a branch separated from the Black Road Sect to occupy territory.

Obviously, the headquarters of the Black Road Sect was in Black Road Mountain, the Chaoyang Avenue area, not the Black Green Mountain Range area.

"Then, do you know the Black Elder of the Black Road Sect?"

The two shook their heads, and Shui Mei added: "We are all outer disciples, not even inner disciples… so, so we don't know much about the sect's secrets… Lord Ye, are you an old friend of our Black Road Sect?"

Fang Yue shook his head, not saying anything more. Obviously, the two sides were not on the same page.

The Black Elder of the Black Road Sect died for Qing Si County. If it wasn't too much trouble, Fang Yue wouldn't mind helping the Black Road Sect with some small favors.

Obviously, taking two outer disciples to Chu Nuan City also counted as a small favor.

Thinking about the various plans he had next, Fang Yue told the two to rest first, and he would be responsible for keeping watch.

Pi Sanzai and Shui Mei naturally had no objections.

Looking at Fang Yue's back as he kept watch, Shui Mei felt a full sense of security in her heart, feeling that Fang Yue was handsome and strong, even more charming than those senior brothers in the sect.

Thinking about it, she slowly fell asleep.

At this moment, Fang Yue suddenly waved his hand, and the Coagulation Ring instantly condensed into a black blade, splitting into countless pieces that turned into flying feathers, piercing through Shui Mei's head.

*Tear* *Tear*. In the invisible air, large swaths of black blood were left behind, splattering next to Shui Mei. A viscous, translucent substance limply covered Shui Mei's face, blocking her breathing.

Fang Yue expressionlessly went over, picked up the Void Monster that only the Analytical Eye could see, and threw it away. Then he took a deep breath and returned to his position.

He was waiting, waiting for the arrival of that existence.

But after waiting all night, the Yin Messenger still didn't appear.

Fang Yue was a bit puzzled. After traveling for a day with Shui Mei and the others, he continued to keep watch the next night, waiting.

But still, he didn't see the Yin Messenger appear.

Could it be… it's not coming?

Without anyone to discuss with, and without Lord Han, Fang Yue had to rely on himself to understand and research many things.

Thinking of Lord Han, Fang Yue's eyes turned slightly red, and he clenched his fists.

"The promise made at that time… can't be fulfilled anymore…"

"But, Lord Han… Master, I will definitely learn your inheritance and pass it on!"

"And the Peterer Flower, and…"

Fang Yue was lost in thought when Shui Mei's confused voice suddenly rang out: "Lord Ye… are you alright?"

Fang Yue turned his face away: "I'm fine, you guys sleep."

"Okay… okay."

Shui Mei looked at Fang Yue in a daze, feeling that Fang Yue must have many, many stories, which was really heartbreaking!

And after suppressing his emotions, Fang Yue glanced at the attributes list.
