Chapter 735: Jin Banhua: Do they have the Four Radiant Divine Technique and the Formless Divine Tech
Chapter 735: Jin Banhua: Do they have the Four Radiant Divine Technique and the Formless Divine Technique?
Despite the pitch darkness within the Bat Cave, the path on the ground was surprisingly easy to navigate. Along the way, patrol teams and maids were abundant, always ready to offer guidance, making the journey convenient.
"They all have excellent hearing," remarked Li Yuhuan.
"Living in perpetual darkness, their ears have long replaced their eyes," explained Liu Wumei. "Just like bats."
Yan Dianhong added, "No wonder this place is called Bat Island."
As they spoke, the group passed by a side room, from which faint sounds of a man and a woman panting could be heard.
Qu Wurong hummed, "Did you come all the way here just for this?"
Unexpectedly, the man in the room was also skilled in martial arts and had overheard Qu Wurong's words. He shouted angrily, "I'll do as I please! Sailing a thousand miles to sleep with women is more exciting, you know nothing!"
Yan Dianhong's eyes narrowed, and she was about to draw her sword.
Suddenly, a female voice spoke up, "Please calm down, Madam Hong and Mr. Lin. You are both guests of Bat Island. If you wish to fight, save it for the auction later."
Mr. Lin inside the room seemed to fear Bat Island, as he hummed in response but remained silent. However, his movements became more intense, causing the woman to cry out in pain, her moans growing louder.
Hua Zhenzhen's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and she took the initiative to hold Jin Banhua's hand, writing the character 'destroy' on his palm.
Jin Banhua let out a light laugh and continued walking calmly.
Both Li Yuhuan and Yan Dianhong had female companions, so they had no interest in seeking other women. Jin Banhua was already aware of the situation; all the women here had their eyelids sewn shut, making them blind and pitiful.
Not only the women, but most of the patrol team members were also blind.
Of course, there were those who could see.
Whether it was Ding Feng or the black-robed woman who had greeted them earlier, they were not blind.
They were likely high-ranking members of Bat Island and trusted experts of Yuan Suoyun.
The group arrived at the main hall on the first level of the cave, where the aroma of wine permeated the air. Nearby, musicians played, and several guests who had no interest in women gathered here to drink and enjoy themselves.
However, they hardly spoke to each other, and even when they did exchange a few words, it was brief and cautious, fearing to reveal their identities.
Hearing the footsteps of Jin Banhua and the others, these guests fell silent.
"What are you singing?" Jin Banhua asked as he sat down.
"It's 'The Execution of Prince Haiyan,' young master," a female voice replied.
"That's not auspicious. Change it," Jin Banhua said lazily. "How about 'The Yang Family Generals'? It has more women and sounds more pleasant."
Jin Banhua knocked on the table, "I heard there's plenty of fine wine here. I'm tired of the wines from the Central Plains. If you have a good selection, bring me a pot of Persian wine, a pot of Liaodong burnt liquor, and a pot of Tibetan highland barley wine."
The female voice fell silent.
In the darkness, someone laughed strangely, "You're looking for trouble, young man."
Jin Banhua replied boldly, "Bat Island boasts of being a sea of gold, claiming that nothing is unobtainable, even the secret martial arts manuals of various sects. Of course, I want to test their authenticity.
I plan to inquire about some divine skills later, and before knowing their authenticity, I'm testing the quality of the wine they serve. Isn't that reasonable?"
"Young man, how old are you? With your limited experience, it's laughable to talk about divine skills," an old voice sounded from the other side.
"Old man, age doesn't determine one's experience," Jin Banhua said softly. "The environment is what shapes a person's knowledge."
Jin Banhua chuckled, "If someone never leaves their mountain village, even at the age of seventy or eighty, their experience may still be limited. But if they live in the capital, the center of virtue, by the time they come of age, their knowledge will be unparalleled in the world.
"It seems you're from the capital city's most prosperous area?" asked another soft voice.
"Indeed! I am from a wealthy aristocratic family in the capital city, the owner of the White Jade Beauty, the one admired by all the beauties in the world, the master of the combined martial arts of the north and south, and the lifelong enemy of Chu Liuxiang. I am Jin...Jin Gongzi!"
Jin Banhua paused, stating his name, before continuing, "Is it not allowed to reveal one's identity here?"
The people in the darkness were speechless. What's the difference between this and introducing yourself? Although Jin Banhua was new to the jianghu, Chu Liuxiang's reputation was well-known. In the recent cases, Jin Banhua had appeared alongside Chu Liuxiang, and quite a few people were already aware of her.
More importantly, when you use a fake name, you don't even change your surname. Isn't Jin Banhua just Jin Gongzi? The rumors in the jianghu were indeed true; Jin Banhua was flamboyant, arrogant, looking down on everything, and fearless.
Such a person would only be encountered by them at the beginning of their jianghu journey. If it were a few years later, they would probably be buried under three-zhang-high grass.
No one in the crowd was interested in talking to Jin Banhua, not even bothering to find out who was sitting next to her...
Hmm? Wait a minute!
The person with the strange voice couldn't help but ask, "Is Chu Xiangshuai with Jin Gongzi?"
"He's not here!" Jin Banhua answered decisively, "Chu Liuxiang is too timid and doesn't dare to come with me. He can only be a bandit, and his legs turn soft when facing the overlord of an entire island."
Li Yuhuan and the others couldn't help but smile.
The person asked cleverly, and Jin Banhua's response was ingenious. Not a single lie was spoken, but it led to a misunderstanding.
The person indeed heaved a sigh of relief, and several others in the darkness did the same.
They all had secrets they didn't want to be exposed, and naturally, they didn't want to meet someone like Chu Liuxiang, who was always meddling and had a strong sense of justice.
At the same time, they trusted and admired the Bat Prince even more. If Chu Liuxiang was so intimidated that he didn't dare to come to the island, then the Bat Prince truly deserved the title of overlord.
As for Jin Banhua...
She was so bold, entering without hesitation and acting so arrogantly, that if she angered the Bat Prince, she might end up buried at sea.
On the other side, the musician in the darkness began to sing "The Yang Family Generals," and the valiant Mu Guiying made her entrance.
After a short wait, a group of attendants entered with small steps, serving wine and dishes to Jin Banhua and the others who were sitting together. The wine jar was opened, and the aroma of wine filled the air.
Jin Banhua sniffed, and it was indeed Persian wine, Liaodong Burnt Liquor, and Tibetan Highland Barley Wine.
Jin Banhua's eyebrows rose slightly, surprised.
Persian wine was considered a famous wine in the Central Plains, so it wasn't unusual to have it here, but the presence of Liaodong Burnt Liquor and Tibetan Highland Barley Wine was indeed beyond Jin Banhua's expectations.
"I hope Jin Gongzi will be informed that the auction on the island will include two items: an eight-hundred-year-old ginseng from Changbai Mountain and the Great Seal Technique Manual from the Yellow Sect Esoteric Sect."
A deep, hoarse voice, carrying an indescribable authority and intimidating power, resonated, and everyone knew that it belonged to the island lord of Bat Island.
"Since my people have obtained these two items, they will naturally bring the fine wines from those regions," the Bat Prince said.
In the darkness, Jin Banhua nodded, "The wine is qualified, but I don't know if the island has any powerful martial arts that I desire."
"Isn't the Great Seal Technique, passed down by the Yellow Sect Esoteric Sect, enough to satisfy Jin Gongzi?" the Bat Prince asked.
"This thing is mainly used for Buddhist cultivation. The martial arts power is neither great nor small, it's quite mediocre."
Jin Banhua waved her hand dismissively and asked, "If you want to satisfy me, you should at least bring out the Four Radiant Divine Technique or the Formless Divine Technique, right?"
