Chapter 143: Allow Me To Apologize...

"Why do you think so, Senior Brother? Who can stand up against the entirety of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples present there?"

"He he he… did you forget that woman who entered when we were waiting? She is definitely at the Nascent Soul realm. What can these bunch of bastards who are at the Golden Core realm do to her?" Chen Wangjie asked causing Duncan to be surprised.

His senior brother was right. He completely forgot about that insidious woman. That woman would decimate the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect within a blink of an eye.

"You remember that ape that passed by us when we were waiting outside? You think that it is a soft permission as well," Chen Wangjie asked mockingly. "And I ran into another person a month ago. He was all polite and calm, but my instincts were telling me not to piss that guy off. Who knows how many other bastards like that are inside that main hall right now?" Chen Wangjie said shooting a dry look at Duncan.

"So, you cleverly escaped?"

"Ptui… clean your mouth. I didn't escape. I just didn't commit any robbery," Chen Wangjie said puffing his chest. "I have bottom lines that I won't cross."

Duncan looked at his senior brother in a strange manner. Sure enough, my senior brother is no slouch either. He conveniently found a very righteous reason to cover up his escape. He still was a novice when it came to shamelessness. He needs to learn more from his senior brother.

"Junior brother, the fight in that region is going to be extremely miserable. Even if I hung out there, do you think I have any chance of acquiring a treasure? The moment I get my hands on a treasure, I will be attacked by my own sect mates as well. So, it is better to stay away from that quagmire. You get my point?" Chen Wangjie waggled his eyebrows causing Duncan to look at him appreciatively.

"Senior brother, you really are a genius. Such cunning does you credit. I shouldn't have doubted you at all. Only you were able to see through things clearly. I really want to apologize to you by drinking another jar of wine. Do you have some wine? Let this junior brother express his apologies," Duncan said righteously and looked at Chen Wangjie eagerly.

Chen Wangjie's proud face turned black as he stared at his junior brother. Sure enough, this junior brother is the real tiger in sheep's clothing. Not only did you swindle away one jar of wine. But now, you want me to give you yet another jar. How shameless can you be?

"Forget about it junior brother," Chen Wangjie smiled while gritting his teeth inwardly. "You have apologized enough. I am satisfied with your sincere attitude."

"But senior…"

"I don't have any more wine on me," Chen Wangjie rushed to cut Duncan off fearing that he would come up with some other excuse.

Duncan who wanted to try a bit more felt stifled hearing his senior brother's words.

'Tch, it looks like I acted a bit over the top this time. I should have left at least a little for my senior brother to taste. Now, he has put up his guard. I guess I won't be able to swindle any more wine from him,' Duncan lamented inwardly and nodded with a reluctant heart.

"If you say so, senior brother."

"I am indeed saying so," Chen Wangjie said with murder in his eyes.

If Duncan dared to utter one more word related to wine, Chen Wangjie would definitely beat him up. Duncan knew at that moment that his senior brother was really dissatisfied with his actions, so he didn't press either.

"So, what are you planning to do next, senior brother?" Duncan asked trying a different tact.

Hearing his question, Chen Wangjie became a little more alert. Initially, he had been thinking of spending a few days with Duncan. But now that he has seen his junior brother's swindling behavior, he wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.

"Oh, I am planning to search for some other opportunities in the central region. Now that I have checked up on you, I can put my heart at ease and search for other opportunities," Chen Wangjie said with a brilliant smile.

"That's great senior brother, why don't I come along with you? I can also obtain some small benefits under your care," Duncan smiled and said enthusiastically.

"Ah, I don't think that's a good idea," Chen Wangjie said cursing Duncan's shamelessness inwardly.

Heh, as if I would believe you. You just want to drink more of my wine. Don't think I am a fool. There is no way I am allowing you near me after this.

"Senior, what can trouble me when I am by your side?" Duncan asked smiling even brighter.

"Ah, junior brother, you are still a little naïve. I am not that powerful to guarantee your safety yet. Furthermore, I will be heading to inheritance sites in the central region. There are inherent dangers in inheritance sites. So, I don't think it will be safe for you there," Chen Wangjie smiled even brighter than Duncan.

Seeing his senior's smile, Duncan felt his teeth ache a bit. He knew that Chen Wangjie had seen through this tactic as well. Looking at his senior brother, Duncan knew that swindling away any more wine out of him was an impossibility. So, Duncan could only smile and nod.

"Senior brother is wise," Duncan nodded. "I never thought about this. I would like to apolog…"

"No need, it is the duty of this senior. Anyway, I have already checked up on you. I will take my leave…"

By the time the sentence ended Chen Wangjie's figure was nowhere to be seen. Duncan blinked in confusion for a bit before his face turned sullen. It was fine when he didn't taste alcohol for months. But after tasting his senior brother's wine, he had a craving for alcohol.

It was like an itch that couldn't be scratched. And it kinda made him very uncomfortable. Duncan felt that his recent life has become a bit dull. He wanted to find and drink some more alcohol.

"Let's head out of this forest region," Duncan mumbled to himself. "I will see if I can find someone else from whom I can swindle some alcohol…"

A group of cultivators from righteous sects were discussing heatedly.

"Those Heavenly Demon Sect disciples are a bit too much. Those demons not only surrounded the main hall and established a perimeter, but they also drove us all away from the region," one of the cultivators said angrily.

"What can we do? We were late and all our seniors have already entered the main hall," another cultivator complained morosely. "We can't beat them. We can only run away."

"It is fine if we are driven out of the region near the main hall, but those bastards just didn't stop there. They even ganged up and started robbing people who were present in the central region. Now we can only wander around the outer region," the first cultivator gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Forget about that," another cultivator said from the side. "Now I am worried about our seniors. Will they be able to leave with these demons surrounding the main hall?"

"What's the big deal? Our seniors would remain in the main hall until the Grotto Heaven closes. By then, we will all be transported outside the Grotto Heaven," another cultivator shrugged.

"Huh, I didn't think of that. But, this leaves us alone to wander in the outer region," the second cultivator once more complained.

"So what? All of us are in the Violet Palace realm. We won't have many issues in the outer regions. Moreover, all the powerful spirit beasts have also entered the main hall. Only the Level 4 beasts and below are remaining outside," the first cultivator said bluntly. "Are you even afraid of them?"

"None of us could take on a Level 4 beast," the second cultivator worried.

"But, if we combine our strength, we will be able to fend it off," the third cultivator said pragmatically.

"I guess," the second cultivator sighed. "So, what's our plan now?"

"There must still be a few places in the outer region that hasn't been stripped bare by that bunch of hooligans from the Heavenly Demon Sect," the first cultivator spoke agitatedly. "We can search for them."

"Huh, do you remember that forest area?" the third cultivator asked suddenly.

"You mean that place where someone was hunting down demonic beasts in drove?" the fourth one said raising his eyebrows.

"Exactly," the third cultivator said nodding excitedly.

"There were so many demonic beasts killed there," the second cultivator worriedly bit his lips.

"But they all were Level 2 beasts," the third cultivator replied with a smile on his lips.

"That means, the person hunting is only at the Spirit Sea realm. We can easily defeat him. Moreover, Senior Sister Bing was distraught when she got to know about those killings. She said it was senseless and wanted to head over there and teach that person a heavy lesson," the first cultivator said excitedly.

The moment the words Senior Sister Bing came out of his mouth, all four cultivators were energized.

"That means we can take care of that person and get some appreciation from Senior Sister Bing," the fourth cultivator said excitedly.

"Exactly, what are we waiting for? Let's head over there. Who knows if some inheritance site is present there? We can check it out as well," the first cultivator said energetically.

All four cultivators agreed within a short moment and set off toward the forest region in high spirits.
