Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 119

A gentle night breeze wafted from afar, while the clear sky shimmered with the warm glow of countless stars. Zhou Yi remained distant, a formidable cultivator who had no need to trail his prey closely. Even though there was a considerable distance between him and the masked figure, Zhou Yi effortlessly followed from a distance.

To his surprise, the masked figure did not head towards Zhengtong County as expected. After departing from Yuan Manor, he merely proceeded a thousand meters before coming to a stop within a sparse grove. This grove was planted by the Yuan family in this area, and it was quite audacious of this person to linger here. However, upon reflection, even if the entire Yuan family were considered, who could stand as their adversary?

Within this grove, it was not only the masked figure present. Once he entered, two other individuals emerged like elusive ghosts. Though Zhou Yi didn't see them with his own eyes, he already knew that these two were the xiao siblings who arrived with Fan Haori yesterday.

"Senior Brother, have you encountered that old man Zhou Quanxin?" xiao Yifan asked urgently.

Although this place was relatively distant from Yuan Manor, the clamor within Yuan Manor during the night was still unable to escape notice. It was just their impatience that made them appear somewhat hasty.

The masked figure nodded slightly and replied, "I have indeed encountered him. This person is truly formidable, possessing internal energy surpassing even mine." He paused for a moment and continued, "No wonder the two of you together were no match for him. With him around, it's truly a troublesome situation."

The sinister voice of xiao Yilin suddenly resounded, "Senior Brother, as long as you join forces with Brother Fan, the two of you together can definitely kill Zhou Quanxin."

The masked figure glared at him and rebuked angrily, "Nonsense! If word got out that Zhuang Yuan actually teamed up with someone, using numbers to overpower the few, wouldn't that become a laughingstock? Moreover, if our Master Lv Xinwen were to find out, how would he react?"

The xiao brothers fell silent instantly, evidently fearful of their Master's judgment.

"Senior Brother, if Brother Fan personally takes action, can he defeat Zhou Quanxin?" xiao Yifan suddenly asked.

Zhuang Yuan, the masked figure, let out a cold snort and replied, "Although Fan Shuhe reached the tenth level of internal energy earlier, he cultivates a water-based technique. Do you think he would have much chance of victory against a fellow cultivator of the same level who specializes in earth-based techniques?"

xiao Yifan fell silent, realizing how simple the answer was, something even a fledgling practitioner would understand.

Zhuang Yuan pondered for a while and said, "You two are truly something. To involve yourselves in this matter during our mountain expedition. Once our Master finds out, he will surely reprimand you."

xiao Yifan forced a bitter smile and said, "Senior Brother, we've had a decades-long friendship with Brother Fan. In the past, when our martial skills were not yet fully developed, he saved our lives. Now that he invites us to take action, we cannot simply stand idly by, no matter what."

Zhuang Yuan sighed softly for a moment and said, "Very well, since we owe him a favor, we must repay it. But since neither Fan Shuhe nor I are a match for this person, we have no choice but to ask our Master for assistance."

xiao Yifan and xiao Yilin exchanged glances, a hint of joy flickering in their eyes. xiao Yifan spoke, "Senior Brother, will our Master really intervene for such a small matter?"

Zhuang Yuan helplessly replied, "Generally, it's unlikely, but for you, his most beloved disciples, he might make an exception."

The xiao brothers hastily said, "Senior Brother, you are our Master's most beloved disciple."
