Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 552 Suppression
To be fair, as a "goods" kept at a high price by the sect, and given that someone frequently went down the mountain, the alluring man had never personally seen Zhou You's appearance.

But at this moment, he was still absolutely certain that this was Zhou You himself.

—The other person was indeed smiling, and unlike him, the smile was very friendly. Although he was saying threatening words, there was no malice in them.

however.

A certain shiver, emanating from the inside out, from every blood vessel, every inch of skin, and even every hair, still swept through my body.

What I saw was indeed an ordinary-looking man.

But instinct only gave a warning.

—That means this thing isn't human at all, run!

Seeing that the alluring man did not respond, Zhou You continued to laugh.

"Brother, you seem a little reluctant. It's alright, you'll get used to shit after a while. I know a really good dry toilet in the sect, I guarantee you'll eat happily, be satisfied, and leave feeling great."

The alluring man did not answer.

The man stared intently at Zhou You for a long while before slowly speaking—seemingly wanting to beg for mercy, but suddenly he abruptly took a few steps back.

Then, he turned and ran!
Having been under Qingxia's tutelage for so many years, he had long since learned to read people's expressions and avoid their sharp edges—otherwise, he would have been tortured to death like those other furnaces long ago—so when faced with someone who was smiling, his first reaction was to run away first.

After all, even disregarding the instinctive warning, based solely on the rumors and stories, he knew he was no match for this person.

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." So what if the mission fails? As long as you're alive, there's always a chance to make amends!

Seeing the man run away, Zhou You did not do anything to stop him, but Lin Yunshao became anxious on the spot.

"Senior brother, what are you standing there for! This guy is clearly an elite assassin under Aunt Qingxia's command. If we don't deal with him here, there will definitely be endless trouble later."

Zhou You smiled calmly.

"Junior sister, your senior brother just rushed back in a panic, even one of his horses died from exhaustion. You should give me a chance to catch my breath."

"Senior Brother!"

"Alright, alright, I'm not trying to be mean, but junior sister, you're becoming more and more like a mother hen."

Zhou You shook his head, then summoned a large, black bow, drew the string, and aimed.

At this point, his expression finally became more serious.

They still used talisman arrows, but this time they didn't use anything rare, just an ordinary Xuanhuo talisman.

But just as the bowstring was released, the deep red light still pierced the sky and went straight for the alluring man's back!

Faced with this deadly arrow, the alluring man could only turn around to block it.

But once he caught it, he felt as if the arrow was like the blazing sun, overwhelming and powerful, and even his internal organs felt like they were about to burst into flames.

Damn it, isn't this guy also a member of the evil path? Where did he get all this righteous magic from?
The alluring man felt a sweet taste in his throat, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Of course, normally, even if he knew he was no match, he wouldn't be suppressed to this extent.

The problem is, in order to instill maximum fear in Lin Yunshao, he had just endured more than a dozen palm strikes, so he wasn't at his peak to begin with. Moreover, for some reason, the opponent's martial arts technique was completely suppressing him.
His last shred of resistance vanished; he had originally intended to use the force of the blow to speed up his escape.

Otherwise.

In the blink of an eye.

But someone's sword was already close enough to reach him!
—How could it be so fast!
The alluring man gritted his teeth and could only slide a bone staff from his sleeve in an attempt to stop him.

pity.

The moment he took over, his expression turned extremely ugly.

Indeed, just like that little girl from before, this sword technique follows the same style.

To be fair...

That's worlds apart!
The alluring man grew increasingly alarmed, feeling that every sword strike from his opponent was aimed at his vital points—and what was even more alarming was that his opponent wasn't even using his full strength, casually parrying each sword strike.

It's like a cat playing with a mouse.
But now, the roles have been reversed!
Finally, as the sword swept across like a whirlwind, and with a spurt of blood, his right hand, along with half of his arm, was easily severed as if slicing through tofu.

He staggered two steps and finally fell into the dust.

But just as the sword was about to sever his head, the alluring man spoke urgently.

"Wait, Uncle Zhou! Spare me, spare my life! I'll eat shit or whatever, I've made it this far, I don't want to die!"

To be deferential at first and then obsequious is utterly ridiculous.

But Wan Ren still stopped.

Upon seeing this, the alluring man breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke with even greater humility.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! I really didn't mean to kill my junior sister. I just wanted to scare her. After all, we have no grudge against each other, and the sect rules apply."

Zhou You watched the alluring man pleading and even kowtowing, and suddenly smiled and said.

"I say, brother."

"Uncle Zhou, what can I do for you?"

"Your words sound quite sincere, but perhaps you could put away that thing you've been plotting for a while on your left?"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the pleading look on the man's face vanished.

Now, his face is only filled with indifference.

—A cold indifference, like that of a dead person.

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of joints and muscles tearing, his remaining arm suddenly twisted, and then a cloud of pink mist burst out from it—

But before it could spread out, it was swept away by the sword's force and clashed with the alluring man's body.

Then came the chilling sound, like countless insects gnawing at flesh.

A few dozen breaths later, the mist was completely pulverized, but the alluring man's body also vanished without a trace, leaving not even a bone behind.

"To be able to turn a victim who has suffered so much into such a loyal follower, I must say, Aunt Qingxia's methods of training people are truly remarkable."

After shaking his head and sighing, Zhou You swept the remaining items into the mountain path before turning to look at his junior sister.

—Although only a few months have passed, Lin Yunshao seems to have become more and more poised and generous, and looks like he has grown a lot. He is now looking at Zhou You with a look full of surprise and joy.

Zhou You looked at him with a kind smile.

Such a touching reunion scene... until someone said a single sentence.

"Junior sister."

"Senior brother?"

"Did you give me the nickname 'Heavenly Sword'?"

moment.

Lin Yunshao's expression froze.

Zhou You was still smiling, but for some reason, the little girl felt a pervasive murderous aura, so much so that she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Then, the girl, who had never yielded before, shuffled her feet along the ground and laughed awkwardly. "Um, what are you saying, senior brother? I don't quite understand. Besides, I think this title is very cool, and it doesn't diminish your dignity at all."

Zhou You shook his head.

"Junior sister, I've heard everything. When that person came up the mountain to ask what name they wanted, you were the one who received them, and you also chose that name without my permission."

"Who has such a big mouth? How could they—"

Halfway through his sentence, Lin Yunshao immediately realized something was wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

As a result, Zhou You's smile grew even brighter.

"Junior sister, are you admitting it?"

Lin Yunshao didn't answer, but instead used his little head to look around, preparing to run away again.

However, just before she was about to put it into action, Zhou You sighed softly.

"Alright, I'm not someone who can't distinguish between what's important and what's urgent. Take me to see my master first. Things seem to be very bad in the sect. I need to talk to him as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Lin Yunshao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, Senior Brother, Master also instructed me to bring you here as soon as I see you, Senior Brother. So please come with me, Senior Brother. Many of the sect's restrictions have been lifted, and the monsters are very active now. We'll probably have to take a long detour later."

Zhou You nodded, but just when Lin Yunshao thought the matter was completely over, he suddenly spoke up.

“Junior sister, but after all this is over, I still need to talk to you about this issue in detail.”

Lin Yunshao stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

When Zhou You returned to his own territory, he found it to be surprisingly lively.

Dozens of disciples from other sects were blocking the gate, their emotions running high and they seemed ready to fight at any moment. However, their own people only dared to cower behind the wall, not daring to utter a single breath in the face of the overwhelming barrage of spittle.

Seeing this, Lin Yunshao frowned, then forced his way through the crowd and asked his fellow disciples.

"I've only been gone a short while, what on earth happened?"

The moment they saw her, those guys felt as if they had finally found their leader, and one of the leaders quickly said.

"Senior sister, we don't know either. You just left not long ago, and these guys suddenly came to our door, saying that the murderer who has been harming disciples from all the sects is hiding in the courtyard and that we should hand him over immediately. But the problem is, there are no outsiders here at all. Where are we supposed to hand him over?"

Lin Yunshao frowned more and more deeply, but he still suppressed his emotions and continued to ask.

"Where is our master? Why doesn't he step in to handle this?"

Who would have expected.

Upon hearing this, the disciples exchanged glances, and then unanimously revealed a few wry smiles.

"Master, we did go looking for him, but he's sealed the door with magic right now. Nobody knows what he's doing, and we don't dare to go in without permission."

Lin Yunshao's expression darkened.

But after a few breaths, she straightened her back and turned to look at the troublemakers.

There weren't any high-ranking individuals among them, but considering the timing of the disturbance and the series of events that had transpired recently.
A series of schemes? You're really something, Uncle-Master. If it weren't for Senior Brother breaking through all defenses with sheer force, we would be completely finished by now.

After quickly gathering her thoughts, she adopted the persona of the senior disciple and slowly began to speak.

"Everyone, I have indeed heard that many disciples from various sects have died recently, and I deeply regret this. But the problem is that everything requires evidence. You have no proof, so on what grounds do you claim that the murderer is hiding within our sect?"

This statement is entirely correct; it shows both a willingness to back down and a firm determination to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation.

however.

Her response was only a more chaotic cacophony of shouts.

"Evidence? What evidence? We're talking about evidence!"

"Since you have a clear conscience, then let us in to search. If you really have nothing else to say, then say it!"

"Yeah, what's the point of just guarding the door like this! They're probably just acting like this because they have a guilty conscience."

"Are all the men in your family dead? Why send a woman to handle this?"

Lin Yunshao's expression grew increasingly somber, but just as she was about to change her approach and be a little tougher on this group of people...

A soft cough suddenly rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but somehow it was suppressed—everyone turned to look and met a pair of smiling eyes.

Then, someone spoke calmly.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou You, and my Taoist name is Ling Yuan—you gentlemen should all have heard of me."

"Secondly, I don't think we're harboring any murderers—maybe? I'm not entirely sure since I just got back."

"at last."

He looked around and then laughed.

"I'm giving you all twenty minutes to get out of here. If I still see any outsiders here after that time, I'm sorry, I'll have to kill them and use them as fertilizer for my plants."

He spoke so quickly that the people didn't even have time to react.

But no problem.

Just report the numbers.

"One"

"two"

"three"

But before San's voice had completely faded, someone screamed, and the group scattered in all directions.

Then, Zhou You slowly walked forward, first patting Lin Yunshao who seemed hesitant to speak, and then looking around at his fellow disciples.

"What are you all standing there for? Are you just going to stand here like useless trash? Get up and get to what you're supposed to be doing!"

Immediately, the group scattered like birds and beasts.

Just as those people said, Master Qingxu is sealing the door.

But for Zhou You, this was actually a pretty insignificant matter. Despite the horrified stares around him, he casually unleashed a few sword strikes to break the spell, and then kicked half of the wooden door away.

However, he was still taken aback when he entered the house.

Compared to before, all those human-skin flowers and plants have withered, leaving only a pile of wilted remains.

Chongxu Daoist was standing at the innermost part of the room, his back to him, but he seemed to have already sensed Chongxu's arrival.

Then, a sigh suddenly came.

"Disciple, you're back?"

Zhou You was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"Yes, Master, your disciple has completed the mission and returned."
