Yu Shangrongs gaze fell on the mysterious box. He appraised it for a moment before he looked away.

Si Wuya said, This is masters box. It needs your weapon as a key to unlock it.

Master is an interesting person. Even when hes cooped up in the mountain, he never fails to find something for us to do, Yu Shangrong said with a smile.

Perhaps, hes trying to test us with this.

Seventh Junior Brother, you know the human heart very well, and yet, you cant see through masters thoughts?

Si Wuya shook his head and heaved a long sigh. He walked to Yu Shangrongs side with his hands on his back. He looked down at the bustling street of Anyang as he said, If this were in the past, I would confidently say that Im privy to his thoughts. However, lately, I find myself becoming uncertain.

Yu Shangrong said lightly, I dont really care. In fact, I dont think much about him. So long as he stays put, Ill feel at ease.

Clearly, things arent going the way that you like it to, Si Wuya said with a smile, Master is doing the exact opposite. First, he kills the Fiend Temples Second Seat, Zuo Xinchan. Then, he captured the leader of the Black Knights, Fan Xiuwen. He has a senior Buddhist monk helping him, and he recruited the Clarity Sects disciple, Pan Zhong, and the Heavenly Sword Sects disciple, Zhou Jifeng Even Yun Sects Hua Wudao is never heard from again after he went up the mountain.

It seems like your confidence has dwindled, Seventh Junior Brother You sound hesitant, Yu Shangrong said.

Si Wuya nodded. He did not deny it. He said, I obtained this information from the Darknet. However, there are several conflicting reports. The part about the senior Buddhist monk cannot be trusted. Its true that the Buddhist Sect played a part on the holy altar However, theres a possibility that the senior Buddhist monk is master himself

Yu Shangrong was slightly surprised. He said, Master is skilled in many cultivation methods. Your speculation is not without merits.

If this is true, then, theres a possibility that master has found a way to master cultivation methods from other sects. Yes, thats possible, Si Wuya mused.

Yu Shangrong did not reply. He stayed silent as he looked at a distant spot in Anyang City.

The crowd on the streets slowly began to thin. The sun was setting in the west.

Si Wuya finally turned to look at the box before he said, Second Senior Brother, its up to you to unlock the box or not.

Youve made your choice?

Masters time is almost up. If he found a new method, Ill wipe my eyes and wait, Si Wuya said.

I dont like to use my brains Yu Shangrong said calmly, Although there are times that I dont agree with your methods, I think youre right, in this case. He did not reach for his sword, but the long sword on his back that gleamed with a faint red sheen moved of its own accord. It lodged itself into the groove on the mysterious box.

Click!

A crisp sound rang in the air.

An opening appeared on the side of the box.

The Longevity Sword was ejected and returned to the scabbard on Yu Shangrongs back. He asked, How come the box didnt open?

Si Wuya replied, We still need Eldest Senior Brothers Jasper Saber.

Seventh Junior Brother, youre smarter than the others. What do you think is contained in this box?

Its not heavy so it cant be gold, silver, or gemstones. I dont think its any heavy weapon as well. To be contained in such a box, I do hope that its a treasure map, Si Wuya said jokingly.

A treasure map? Something thatll lead us to something valuable like the bones of the Bai people? Yu Shangrong sounded puzzled, but his expression was indifferent.

The bones of the Bai people are not actual treasures, but Im sure theres some sort of treasure. It just hasnt been found yet. The palace has been fishing bodies out of the river for a decade and has found nothing. We can basically eliminate the possibility of it being the bones of the Bai people, Si Wuya said.

Yu Shangrong sighed softly. I hope Sixth Junior Sister will be able to move on from this.

Put aside that matter, Im afraid shes in dire straits now. Knowing master, things bode ill for her.

Yu Shangrong nodded. He did not continue the conversation about Ye Tianxin. Instead, he glanced at the mysterious box next to him and said calmly, Eldest Senior Brother seldom shows himself. I dont think youll be able to find him.

Ill try Perhaps, Eldest Senior Brother will share the same opinion as us, Si Wuya said.

Yu Shangrong pointed in the Divine Capitals direction and said, Eldest Senior Brother isnt on Pingdu Mountain. He should be in the Divine Capital.

When Si Wuya heard this, he was slightly taken aback. Eldest Senior Brother has been cultivating in seclusion all this time. Many of his missions were carried out by his subordinates. Why did he go to the Divine Capital, the tigers lair and the dragons den?

Yu Shangrong only said, I dont like the way Eldest Senior Brother does things.

Uh

Thats why I killed Chen Wenjie.

I gave Eldest Senior Brother and Chen Wenjie a notice in advance. I told them I would raise my sword. If they came over with their necks extended, their heads would certainly be lopped off, and their blood would spill, Yu Shangrong said slowly.

Si Wuya was at a loss for words. He finally sighed and said, You and Eldest Senior Brother have your own standpoints. Theres no right or wrong.

Seventh Junior Brother, youve always been one who can see the bigger picture. Do you think Eldest Senior Brother is doing the right thing? Yu Shangrong asked.

Well Si Wuya paused before continuing with a smile, Eldest Senior Brother is wrong.

Yu Shangrong flashed a satisfied smile. You do have a unique take on things, Seventh Junior Brother.

At this moment, troops of mounted soldiers appeared on Anyang Citys streets. There were three to five red-robed cultivators among the troops of 30 to 50 men.

Yu Shangrong pointed at the troops and said, Youre right. Wei Zhuoyan has sent someone.

Si Wuya placed his hands on his back and said with a smile, Although Wei Zhuoyan doesnt agree with a certain someone on matters of governance, theyre grasshoppers tied on the same string, after all. Besides, Wei Zhuoyan is too ugly

Ugly?

It doesnt matter. In any case, Wei Zhuoyans current move is low, Si Wuya said with a smile.

Will you make a move, Seventh Junior Brother? Yu Shangrong asked.

Si Wuya shook his head and said, Just like before, Ill observe the situation for now and make my decision when I have to. Second Senior Brother, dont you prefer to do things this way as well?

You know me well, Junior Brother Wuya, Yu Shangrong said.

The organized troops proceeded along the streets below. The red-robed cultivators left Anyang City with the mounted soldiers.

Finally, Si Wuya cupped his fists together and said, Second Senior Brother, Ill take my leave now and head to the Divine Capital.

Alright, Yu Shangrong waved his hand and said, Tell him something for me. Tell him that I dont want to meddle in his matters, and he shouldnt meddle in mine as well.

Ill convey the message faithfully Si Wuya said as he waved his hand. The box hovering in the air vanished instantly.

Yu Shangrong glanced at the bodies strewn haphazardly on the floor. He frowned slightly and said, Im sorry, I didnt mean to kill you For every grievance, someone is responsible; for every debt, theres a debtor. Farewell. He leaped nimbly into the air and walked on air as though he was strolling in a park. He followed the mounted soldiers and the red-robed cultivators.

Meanwhile, Si Wuya returned to his flying chariot.

Sect Master, we saw Senior Sword Devil heading in the Golden Court Mountains direction.

Theres no need to worry. Second Senior Brother knows what hes doing. By the way, is there any news about the Yun, Tian, and Luo Sects Sword Saint, Luo Shisan?

In reply to your question, Sect Master, Sword Saint Luo Shisan hasnt made any moves yet.

Report to me right away if he does. I believe Second Senior Brother will like an opponent like him very much.

Yes, Sect Master.
