Volume 1 Chapter 46 The Black Robed High Man

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin knew that it was now impossible to destroy the opium in the warehouse. With all this commotion, everyone guarding the warehouse had been mobilized, and there would be no more opportunities to take action.

  Who is the one who sends words in the wind? How did he know we were here? What does his message mean? Where exactly is he hiding? All of these have become urgent questions that Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin need to find answers to.

  "Let's go! We'll meet him." Yuan Yi said.

  "Second Brother, beware of treachery!" Yuan Xin said.

  "We can't afford to think about so much anymore. When others challenge us, we must accept the challenge."

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin retreated from outside the wall of the warehouse, heading south.

  Two people walked for over a mile, and on a green grassland, they found someone standing with their back to the direction they came from. The person was tall and wore a black cloak and a suit of black clothes, making it impossible to discern their age or gender.

  "The Cloak of Black Clothes Man!" Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin exclaimed in unison. For years, the Jianghu has been circulating with rumors that there are two top-notch masters, one wearing black clothes and the other wearing white clothes, who often appear unexpectedly, but very few people know their true identities and names. Today, Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin were fortunate enough to meet the Cloak of Black Clothes Man.

  The man in black cloak spoke first: "Two Golden Arhats, not cultivating and practicing martial arts at Biyuan Temple, do you also want to risk your lives in this chaotic autumn?"

  His words were not loud, but when they entered the ear, they shook and made the eardrum ache, showing how profound his inner power was.

  Motoyoshi had heard it earlier in the warehouse, the words that entered their ears were spoken by the man in a black cloak. From his tone, Motoyoshi could tell he was a man.

  "The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility. We are following Master's orders, coming down from the mountain to resist the Japanese, doing what a Chinese should do, shouldn't we? " Yuan Yi didn't know if the man in black cloak was friend or foe, nor did he know what his intentions were, so he first expressed his own righteousness.

  "Hahaha... Hahaha..., resisting Japan, resisting Japan, resisting Japan is the military's business. When did the country call on you monks to come down from the mountain and resist Japan? Hahaha..., stop pretending to be something you're not! If you've come down from the mountain to resist Japan, why aren't you fighting the Japanese, but instead staring at people's warehouses?" The laughter of the black-cloaked figure was mixed with a lot of sarcasm.

  The man in black cloak said something, but his body was always facing away from Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin.

  "You may not know, but in that warehouse just now, there was opium hidden inside, a scourge to the Chinese people," said Yuan Xin.

  "Shut up! Whether or not there's opium, I'll investigate it myself. You'd better not interfere in this matter again. Leave now, quickly! If you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for taking action!" The black-cloaked man suddenly became enraged when Yuan Yi mentioned the opium and pointed at him, ordering Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin to leave.

  "There is opium in that warehouse, we can't let the opium harm the people of China at will, we must destroy it. As the saying goes, everyone takes care of the world's affairs, this matter we will take care of! Yuan Yi was provoked by the black-cloaked man's arrogant tone. Yuan Yi is also a hot-blooded person, he won't give up on things he has decided on, and besides, Yuan Yi is the second Golden Strength of Biyuan Temple, and a top-notch master, in his prime and fearless."

  Yuanyi's words had not yet fallen, when a figure flashed before his eyes. In an instant, the figure transformed into countless figures, surrounding Yuanyi and Yuanshen at their core. And Yuanyi and Yuanshen could not distinguish which of the figures was the real Black Cloak Assassin.

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin exchanged a glance, then shook off their spirits and used the Eagle Claw Technique to fight against the black-clothed figure. In just a short while, they had already exchanged over twenty blows, but each punch landed in mid-air.

  A voice that sent shivers down one's spine came from the air, "Had enough fun? It's time for me to take over!"

  The man in black cloak had barely finished speaking when Yuan Xin let out a cry of "Ah yo!" and fell to the ground with a thud.

  Yuan Yi saw the situation and let out a loud shout: "I'll fight you to the death!" His eagle claw shot straight at the black shadow in front of him.

  A cold laugh echoed through the air: "Haha, don't be too arrogant, I don't want to hurt you, leave this place quickly. Remember, from now on, you are not allowed to set foot in here again."

  As soon as the man in black cloak finished speaking, Yuan Yi felt that he was being restrained by an invisible force. The fist he swung out had no strength at all, soft and weak, but when he retracted his fist, the power was great, and his own fist actually shook himself off, also falling beside Yuan Xin.

  Yuan Yi thought to himself, this man in the black cloak, with his extraordinary skills, was a superior martial artist. With their current abilities, he and Yuan Xin were no match for him. Continuing to fight would be futile. It's better to take Yuan Xin and leave first, then think of another way.

  Yuan Yi thought of this and pulled Yuan Xin along, turning back to look for the person in a black cloak, but they had already vanished without a trace.

  "Amazing, truly amazing. With this kind of skill that leaves no trace or shadow, even if I practice for another 20 years, I still won't be able to catch up with him!" Yuan Yi sighed in admiration and turned his head to ask Yuan Xin, "How is it? Where are you hurt?"

  "I was knocked down by an invisible force, fell on the grass, and was shaken a bit, but I'm not hurt." Yuanxin patted the dirt off his body. "This man in black cloak didn't mean to harm us, he's letting us go."

  "This man in black cloak has profound and unpredictable martial arts skills. Even if Master and he were to face off, it's not certain that he would win. However, he only used his internal energy to push us back, without any intention of harming us. What does he want to do? Why did he stop us from destroying the opium? Is the owner of the warehouse him? Or did the owner of the warehouse hire him to protect the warehouse?" Yuan Yi said.

  "Second Master, let's leave this place. The man in black cloak and hat comes and goes without a trace, we don't know when he'll appear before us again, we can't defeat him, let's think of a long-term plan to destroy the opium." Yuan Xin said.

  "Let's go, we're going back." Yuan Yi turned his head and looked in the direction of the warehouse, with a complex mood, and walked towards the Guandi Temple in the west city with Yuan Xin.

  Yuan Yi and Yuan Xin returned to the Guandi Temple, where they heard the sound of a rooster crowing from a nearby village. Yuan Xin was really tired and fell asleep on the grass outside the temple.

  Yuan Yi elbowed him and said, "Fifth brother, I don't know what happened to Eldest Brother and Sixth Brother, Third Brother and Fourth Brother. We broke out separately, did they break out like us?" Yuan Yi gazed at the stars in the sky and said with a sigh.

  "Second brother, don't worry, they will definitely be fine. Logically speaking, we should follow eldest brother's instructions and head to Bayin Town immediately, it's possible that they are already waiting for us there." Yuan Xin said sleepily after being woken up by Yuan Yi.

  "It's easy to go to Bayin Town, but we found an opium warehouse. If we don't destroy it, I'll have a lingering regret in my heart," said Yuan Yi. "In my opinion, instead of rushing to Bayin Town, it's more important to think of a way to burn down that warehouse."

  "But that man in black cloak's martial arts skills are really too high, we can't defeat him, how can we go burn the warehouse?" Yuan Xin said.

  "The tiger also has a time to doze off, his martial arts are high, if he is not here, we will not succeed. I think, he can't stay in that yard for long, there must be a time when he returns to Cangmen City, wait until he returns to Cangmen City, and then we'll take action, if we don't burn the opium, we won't leave this place." Yuan Yi said.
