Eternal Sword

Chapter 342: Lonely Sword (Additional update by the leader Shangguan Yulin)
Chamber.

After Yuan Jie's commotion, there was no one available in Shen Che's army. This time, in the Old Capital Genius Battle, only they, father and son, could lead their men to participate in the battle. This was an opportunity to establish their reputation in Western Sichuan.

Shen Jin was pleased with himself for winning the game. He calmed down and asked, "Brother, I was confused by your question just now. You just said that I was after Yu'er's niece. What did you mean by that?"

Shen Che glanced at him and said, "Yu'er was assassinated in Hermit Island."

"what?"

Shen Jin's expression changed, and he asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Shen Jin's expression did not seem fake, and not only outsiders but even Shen Che could not see any flaws.

"So, the whereabouts of Yu'er's niece have been exposed, and someone has issued a bounty mission for her!"

Shen Jin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Che and frowned, "Brother, you were angry with me just now, you don't think it was me who did it, right?"

Shen Che didn't answer, which was considered as his consent.

Shen Jin laughed in anger and said, "Brother, who do you think I am? No matter how foolish I am, I can never have any intention of hitting on Yu'er, she is my own niece!"

"Where did you hear this news? As far as I know, the hermit keeps the information of his employer completely confidential and would never reveal it even if he dies. Brother, don't fall for the alienation scheme of outsiders!"

Shen Che lowered his eyelids slightly.

Shen Jin said: "Isn't it that Mingyue Sanren again? Brother, you would rather trust an outsider than your own brothers?"

"Who is this Mingyue Sanren? Why haven't I heard my father mention this old friend before?"

Shen Che pondered in silence.

Shen Jin's words did make him feel a little doubtful.

Even he didn't know Mingyue Sanren's origins.

He only remembered that his father was assassinated by the Hidden Sect and had not recovered from his injuries for nearly a year before this Mingyue Sanren suddenly appeared.

My father's behavior at that time was a little strange.

It seemed that he did not recognize him at first, but then he became quite excited and asked him to respect him as his teacher from now on.

Over the years, Shen Che only knew roughly that Mingyue Sanren seemed to be from Shenzhou, but he never knew where he came from.

Moreover, Mingyue Sanren's whereabouts are mysterious. Every once in a while, he disappears without a trace, and no one can find him.

Thinking of his father, Shen Jin couldn't help but complain: "These people from Shenzhou are disaster stars! If my father hadn't saved Li Yuechen from Shenzhou Wu Dynasty, he probably wouldn't have been targeted by the Hidden Sect."

"My father was a master. Although he was over 60 years old at that time, he was still at the peak of his powers. If he had not been seriously injured by the Hidden Sect, he would not have passed away a year later!"

When talking about this, both brothers showed hatred on their faces.

Shen Che couldn't help but recall the past events involving Li Yuechen.

Li Yuechen, also known as 'Guhongdao', was one of the four great immortal masters of the Wu Dynasty. He fell into the Xia River with severe injuries, but luckily survived by holding onto a floating wood and was rescued by his father.

Later, Yin Zong learned about this and personally took action to assassinate Li Yuechen, but was stopped by his father, and a war broke out between the two sides.

That battle was extremely brutal.

My father was seriously injured, and it is said that Yin Zong also escaped with injuries.

Over the years, he hasn't made any move.

Li Yuechen was very young, only in his thirties, but he had already cultivated to the second-grade innate realm.

This man is a real man. He knows that he has let his father down. Even though he knows that he has a high risk of death, he still goes to Hermit Island alone and wants to kill Yin Zong.

However, he did not expect that he was killed by an elder of the Hermit Continent before he even met the Hermit Sect.

If this person had not died, with his talent, he would have become a master in the future.

Because of this, the Shen family has always hated the Hermit. A few years ago, when the Tianhu Continent was in chaos, the other three countries often issued bounty missions in the Hermit Continent, and the Shen family never gave a penny to the Shadow Building.

This time we went to Hermit Island, we were just doing some business with the local blacksmith shop.

Shen Che sighed and said, "These are all old things, I won't mention them anymore."

When the death of their father was mentioned, the tension between the two men disappeared into thin air.

Shen Jin thought for a moment and said, "Brother, if it were you, I would say we should just submit to the Beihai Kingdom. The Beihai Kingdom has the support of Donglaizhou and now occupies 31 cities. We can't defeat them at all."

"And the North Sea Lord has agreed that after he becomes the Continent Lord, you will still be the Lord of the Army, commanding the area of ​​western Sichuan."

Shen Che's face darkened and he said, "You believe what he said? Once we surrender, we will be controlled by others and follow their orders. There will be no hope of avenging our father."

"But as long as I am still the military leader of Sichuan and control an army, I will always have a chance to fight those hermits in the future!"

Shen Che waved his sleeves and said, "Don't mention this matter again!"

The two brothers had just begun to accord, but they fell out again.

The two had argued about this matter once before.

Shen Jin said: "You have been shouting for so many years, when will you be able to take revenge? Where is the hope?"

Shen Che said: "I am now a second-grade Xiantian. If I can make further progress and become a Grandmaster, I may have a chance of winning if I join forces with Mr. Mingyue."

Thinking of this, Shen Che became extremely disappointed with Shen Jin.

If Shen Jin had enough ability, he would like to hand over the military and political power of Sichuan West Kingdom and concentrate on practicing martial arts.

But Shen Jin is not up to the task. Over the years, most of his energy has been spent on military and political affairs, and his cultivation has made almost no progress. It is unknown when he will be able to reach the first level.

"That's easy to say."

Shen Jin said: "It's not that easy to become a first-class master. Many people are stuck here for their whole lives."

"Besides, even if you are a master, that Mingyue Sanren may not be on the same page with you! What kind of place is Hermit Continent? Would he risk going with you to kill the Hermit Sect?"

"Besides, the five elders of Hermit Continent are all masters. Together with the Hidden Sect, there are six great masters. You don't stand a chance of winning."

Shen Che was upset by what Shen Jin said.

Shen Jin said: "Brother, since there are not many people on your side to participate in the battle, Yuan Jie and I will take the Eight Vajra to the Old Capital Genius Battle this time. You stay at home and continue to practice martial arts and strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Shen Che remained silent.

Things have come to this point, and it is useless for him to insist.

What's more, he didn't want to go to the old capital this time.

Just as Shen Che was about to let go, the guard from before ran in again, panting and with a look of shock on his face.

"What happened again?"

Shen Che's heart tightened and he asked hurriedly.

Yuanjie just took people to look for Yuer, maybe something happened there.

The guard was about to reply when Shen Jin stepped forward and stopped Shen Che, smiling and advising: "Brother, please be patient. There is nothing wrong with the younger generation fighting and playing around. It is better for us adults not to interfere."

The guard had a strange look on his face when he heard that, and didn't reply immediately.

Shen Che was so concerned that he couldn't help but yell, "Tell me what's going on!"

The guard saluted and said, "My Lord, Young Master Yuanjie's Eight Vajra were practicing martial arts with the friend brought by the young lady in the reception room, and they were all disabled..."
