Chapter 454: Chapter 358: Do Not Provoke the Colonel of the 9th Mountain (4K+ Seeking Monthly Ticket)_2

"Haha, if your Lord Tai Sui knew that I, an old man, bullied the young, he would surely break these old bones of mine."

At this moment, the Fang Family’s Ancestor, sitting at the head, raised his hand, signaling the three to have tea, while the folds of his eyes piled up.

The Yan Land Three Heroes from Taisui Mountain saw some indication of yielding from this Fang Family’s Ancestor, yet they showed no joyful expression, for an old man’s wisdom predicted ulterior motives in someone with a similar intent.

Sure enough, the Fang Family’s Ancestor squinted his small eyes, and with a voice like a broken bellows, he said, "Since everyone has the same purpose, why not search for that ship together? You must know what that ship represents. Things left by Dragon Tiger experts are surely filled with danger, and even Martial Vault isn’t safe. Understand what I mean?"

As he spoke, his small eyes flashed sharply, surveying the three.

Hearing this, the three felt somewhat resentful inside; the old man’s words were grandiloquent but still unwilling to surrender anyone.

However, one thing this old fellow said is not wrong; the ship is suspected to be the Creation Land after Dragon Tiger’s sitting and passing, bringing both opportunities and dangers hard to predict. They hadn’t considered this outcome before, as it remained a rumor. They came to try their luck and verify, which led their subordinates to find clues. Now, this Fang Family’s Ancestor’s involvement further corroborated the news’ authenticity.

The three exchanged glances, communicating secretly.

"This old geezer, wants a free ride, it’s outrageous," grumbled the bearded man named Shaking Mountain Tiger angrily.

"But the person is in his hands now, and this old monster shares the same generation with the old village chief, possessing unfathomable strength, estimated at Half-step Dragon and Tiger Realm," cautiously noted Kuang Dao Yu Wen Guang, implying that the three of them couldn’t win even through battle, and those searching for the ship were also intercepted.

"Who knows for sure if it’s true?" The bearded man still held resentment.

"This matter is quite sudden; bringing you two here was a spur-of-the-moment decision, unexpectedly finding matter true, needing deliberation. We should negotiate with this Fang Family’s Ancestor," Jade Qilin Jin Yushan spoke steadily, reaching a conclusion.

Jade Qilin, with meticulous thoughts, keenly observed the attendant beside the Fang Family’s Ancestor, seemingly hesitant to speak, skillfully diverged the topic.

"Since this matter is of great importance, we need thorough deliberation. It seems this person by the elder’s side has something to say to the elder. You rushed back just now, probably because of some urgency. Shall we refrain from interference?"

Jade Qilin Jin Yushan’s voice remained calm, with a sight-line towards the black-clad, robust man.

Upon hearing this, the Fang Family’s Ancestor turned his dim gaze towards the man beside him, whose complexion changed, knowing the elder’s temperament. The elder seemed to be discussing major matters about that object, yet his facial expression mismanaged, interrupting the elder’s deliberation, leaving him slightly afraid.

"No worries!"

"It’s only a guest arriving uninvited to see me, causing a commotion. Let that person wait!" The Fang Family’s Ancestor spoke coldly.

"Oh?" This sparked Jin Yushan’s curiosity slightly, but before he could reply, a booming voice resonated from outside.

"Tang Jing requests audience with the Ancestor!"

The voice entered the room, reaching the Fang Family’s Ancestor’s ears, prompting a frown from the seemingly decrepit old man.

"Enter!"

As he uttered this, the door swung open, and Fang Tangjing from the Fang Family Main Branch walked inside, followed by another silhouette.

Upon entering the room, the silhouette slipped and fell to his knees, with a crying tone,

"Please, Ancestor, fight for justice for me!"

He wept, his head knocking on the ground.

It was none other than the bruised-faced Fang Mingyue.

Behind the screen, the Yan Land Three Heroes puzzled by the spectacle, glanced inquisitively towards the Fang Family’s Ancestor, questioning whether to avoid the situation.

The Fang Family’s Ancestor coughed, shaking his head, his murky little eyes gleaming maliciously.

"Cough cough"

"No worries!"

"Family disgrace aired out, beaten to tears and still comes to me to whine. Forgive the humor, gentlemen."

Jin Yushan and the others recalled the mention of an unexpected visitor at the inn, feeling a bit bemused.

"Could there be someone daring enough to cause trouble at this secluded place before the elder?" Jin Yushan tilted his eyebrows questioningly.

"Despite its remoteness, surprisingly here, if the three of you venture into Shu, you’ll likely encounter this person, who’s likely a hassle in finding that ship!" The Fang Family’s Ancestor spoke cryptically, annoyed by Fang Mingyue’s noise, showing a hint of impatience.

"No more fuss!"

"I know what happened; a lot of people were disgraced, yet you still cry here. Fetch that person; I’ll meet this infamous Colonel personally!"

But then, Fang Mingyue raised his bruised face, eyes teary, with a sobbing appearance, "Ancestor, that Ninth Mountain’s Colonel is overly oppressive..."

His complaints suffused with sorrow.

At this point, the Yan Land Three Heroes behind the screen sat leisurely on "watching drama," suddenly, upon hearing certain keywords, their expressions shifted immediately.

What?

Ninth Mountain’s Colonel?

How did he appear here?

And they frowned or displayed suspicion, such obvious changes naturally didn’t elude the eyes of the nearby Fang Family’s Ancestor.

The old ancestor noted calmly,

"It seems the three also know this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel, given his reputation in Shu and recent events causing an uproar. Are you aware the Court sent the Demon Suppression Envoy, hehe, and people in Shu thought he might become the local Demon Suppression Envoy?"

This old fellow seemed to align the three from Taisui Mountain onto a unified front for searching the ship, elaborating on Chen Yuan’s background, expressing skepticism toward this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel.

Jin Yushan and the others already knew this news, feeling oddly uncanny.

Evidently, the Tianxiong Pass battle news hadn’t reached this remote county yet, unknown to this Fang Family’s Ancestor.

In the Tianxiong Pass fight, this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel charged across 150,000 Court’s Heavenly Army, defeating the Three Families Martial Vault, attacking the Demon Suppression Envoy, even leading forces against Dragon Tiger Projection.

Moreover, a vital aspect involved the local Demon Suppression General personally overseeing him.

The three exchanged looks briefly, inexplicably desiring this patronizing old man to suffer a bit, withholding this information from the Fang Family’s Ancestor.

Yet Jel Yushan’s mind rapidly turned, contemplating thoroughly, aware this Fang Family’s Ancestor possessed unpredictable Divine Skills, at Half-step Dragon and Tiger Realm. The Ninth Mountain’s Colonel represented a fierce adversary, vividly recalling Tianxiong Pass’s battle, realizing if they exchanged blows seriously, irrespective of outcome, the three would form grudges with both sides, resulting in no benefits.

Presently, they appeared here, just falling into this "calamity out of nowhere."

"Elder!"

"Hold on!"

Jel Yushan abruptly rose, voicing out a halt, solemn in expression.

Fang Shiqing observed the folds on his face gathering, his murky eyes flickering sharply.

"Nephew Jin, anything to say?" The Fang Family’s Ancestor inquired thoughtfully.

Jin Yushan maintained a serious tone, "Elder may not be aware of the significant event at Tianxiong Pass the other day."

"On the day before yesterday, 150,000 Court’s Heavenly Army arrived at Tianxiong Pass. Do you know this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel personally went, leading Two Passes Army into the Court’s army, defeating Three Families Martial Vault alone, battling Court’s Demon Suppression Envoy, who stepped on the Creation Threshold, and finally, Dragon Tiger Projection descended, leading forces daringly against it!"

"So here’s a piece of advice!"

"Seek peace as a priority, do not provoke this Ninth Mountain’s Colonel!"

Upon these words, the Fang Family’s Ancestor’s complexion shifted.
