Chapter 118: Yuwen Emperor Juntian Meets Shouyue!
Qin Shou slowly opened his eyes, he stood up. Taking a closer look, he was shocked. "Where is this place? How did I end up here in a daze? Wasn't I just in that palace earlier?"
"Is anyone there? Is anybody here?"
Qin Shou shouted loudly, but unfortunately, the only response was his own echo. However, in his heart, he had a kind of feeling, as if something in front of him was attracting him. Feeling the call of that thing, Qin Shou unconsciously took step by step towards the front.
A door blocked Qin Shou's path, he gently pushed it open. Cautiously taking out the Hou Yi bow, although something was calling him here, it was still better to be careful.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed before his eyes, making Qin Shou unable to open them. Suddenly, a huge suction force came, but this suction force was not directed at Qin Shou, but at the Hou Yi bow in his hand.
"Think you can snatch my Hou Yi's bow? Dream on!"
Qin Shou let out a cold hum, his hands tightly grasping the Hou Yi bow. But this suction force was getting stronger and stronger, as if nothing could withstand it. Qin Shou urged the yuanqi in his body to surge forth, using all his strength to grasp the Hou Yi bow.
Qin Shou's hands had already seeped out fresh blood, and strangely, this blood did not drip to the ground, but flowed along the Hou Yi bow. The Hou Yi bow seemed to form a network of veins, just like the human body's meridians, with bright red blood flowing on top.
Hou Yi's bow began to tremble, Qin Shou looked at Hou Yi's bow in incredulity. He actually felt excitement from the bow. How was this possible? Did Hou Yi's bow have emotions? If not, then why could he feel the bow's emotions?
"Ah!"
Qin Shou let out a loud cry, and the suction force grew stronger, almost causing Hou Yi's bow to slip from his grasp. But instead, Hou Yi's bow seemed to be getting anxious, as if it wanted to go somewhere urgently. The feeling of urgency was so strong that Qin Shou felt embarrassed. After all, he was holding onto Hou Yi's bow against its will, and the bow seemed to not want to stay in his hands.
"Alright alright, since you want to go forward, then I'll let you have your way!"
Qin Shou's hands loosened, meaning he had lost control of the Hou Yi bow. As soon as he relaxed his grip, the suction force disappeared. However, the Hou Yi bow rushed into the golden light, and Qin Shou opened his eyes wide, but couldn't see what was happening inside the golden light.
The ground suddenly shook, and Qin Shou also shook with it. Since he was already there, he might as well sit down on the ground. No matter how much the ground shook, sitting down wasn't very dangerous at all. After all, the shaking wasn't too intense, it just wasn't very comfortable to stand.
"Rumble!"
That sharp golden light shot out in all directions, and Qin Shou was also bathed in the golden light. This golden light was really too dazzling, he unconsciously used his right hand to cover his eyes. "What is this place? How can it be like this?"
After about half a time, the golden light finally became less dazzling. Qin Shou slowly moved his right hand away and opened his eyes. However, when he saw what was in front of him, Qin Shou suddenly stood up.
Hundreds of bows floated in the air, and each bow looked like a good bow. Qin Shou could feel that any one of those bows would be better than his original bow.
"Whoa! Now that I've got this many bows, I'll definitely become the world's number one divine archer!" Qin Shou excitedly shouted out loud, but immediately afterwards he let out a sigh, "These bows are all floating in mid-air, how am I supposed to get them down?"
He rubbed his hands together unconsciously and muttered, "Right, I don't know how these bows are floating in the air, but I can shoot them down. That's what I'll do!"
"Withdrawing the bow like a full moon, looking northwest, shooting at the heavenly wolf!"
The extra-large arrow was placed on the bow, Qin Shou looked up at those bows in the sky, his eyes narrowed. As his hand loosened, the extra-large arrow shot into the air.
Arrows rained down from the sky, and small arrows fell on those bows like raindrops. Unfortunately, those bows just shook and returned to their original posture under Qin Shou's expectant gaze.
"Maybe it's just not powerful enough, no big deal, I'll try one by one. Wanli Piercing Cloud Arrow, the only outstanding one!"
Qin Shou took out an arrow and shot it at a bow in the air. When the arrow hit the bow, the bow shook violently for a moment, but unfortunately returned to its original position soon after.
"My goodness, forget it, I don't want you anyway. I just can't believe it, with so many bows, I couldn't even get one!"
Qin Shou took out another arrow and began his long-range shooting. With hundreds of bows in the air, he was ready to shoot each one once. After all, with so many, it's impossible for every single one to be fixed that well. So many precious bows, not taking them would be a waste.
Outside the Dragon Palace
Shangguan Yu looked at the glittering treasures and couldn't help but sigh, that Jiaolong was truly extravagant. So many treasures were casually placed in the palace, it seemed that in the heart of that Jiaolong, these treasures were unimportant.
"Qin Shou, where are you? If you can hear me, make a sound!" Shangguan Yu shouted anxiously.
Every corner of the palace he searched carefully, but he still did not find Qin Shou. And Jiao Xiaolong also said that this palace was a closed system, and it was impossible for Qin Shou to get out. So where did Qin Shou go?
Jiao Xiaolong also became anxious, if he couldn't find Qin Shou, how would he explain to Shangguan Yu. Although a dead camel is bigger than a horse, but Shangguan Yu's father was so powerful, where did he get the guts to be unfavorable to Shangguan Yu again?
"What's this?"
Jiao Xiaolong was startled and picked up the two arrows at the door. Shangguan Yu's gaze also focused on the two arrows, he quickly ran to Jiao Xiaolong's side, took the two arrows from him, and examined them carefully.
"That's right, the arrow used by Qin Shou seems to have been here. But where did he go? There is only a gate here, but such a huge gate, I'm afraid he can't open it either. It seems that she had shot an arrow at the door before, unfortunately, it didn't work." Upper Official Yu said in a low voice.
Jiao Xiaolong nodded, "That's right, this gate, if there is no password to open it, wanting to force it open without the Star Extreme Realm's martial arts realm is impossible. As for your companion, with his strength, it is absolutely impossible to open this gate. As for other places in the palace, he has even less ability to break through."
Shangguan Yu furrowed his brow, but soon relaxed it. He stared intently at Jiao Xiaolong, as if he were some kind of rare treasure. Jiao Xiaolong also felt a sense of unease all over his body, and to make matters worse, he was also feeling guilty.
Fortunately, Shangguan Yu finally spoke up. He smiled and said, "Since Qin Shou can't get out, we can only go to another place within the palace. I suppose there must be some mechanism or transmission array in this palace that can send people to other places?"
Jiao Xiaolong's eyes rolled, he didn't think that Shangguan Yu would actually think of this point. After all, Shangguan Yu was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, how could he possibly understand so much? However, thinking about Shangguan Yu's father, he relaxed, what kind of existence was it that he could comprehend?
"This is indeed true, your companion is the successor of Hou Yi. Perhaps you don't know Hou Yi, but that's just because it's been a long time ago. Hou Yi was an unparalleled strongman in ancient times and also the acknowledged number one divine archer. His combat power is undoubtedly astonishing, martial artists of the same realm are simply not his opponents."
The dragon paused, his expression becoming reverent. "At that time, the ten golden crows were wreaking havoc on humanity. Hou Yi was enraged and rushed to the scene, holding his bow and shooting down nine of the golden crows. You should know that the father of the ten golden crows was Di Jun, a powerful being in the Emperor Extreme realm. Although Hou Yi was extremely strong, he wasn't a powerful being in the Emperor Extreme realm. However, for the sake of our human tribe, he resolutely shot down nine of the golden crows. That kind of spirit, that kind of grandeur, is truly breathtaking!"
"Di Jun? Isn't Di Jun a surname of Di? Could it be my ancestor? Hearing this name, I do have a kind of intimacy, but it's still not right. Di Jun is a demon clan, and I am a human clan. Di Jun has ten sons, but the Emperor's family is a single line of inheritance!"
"Alright, alright, don't say these things anymore. We should focus on finding Qin Shou instead. You can tell me those stories later." Shangguan Yu interrupted Jiao Xiaolong, he hadn't forgotten his main task.
"Yes, yes, I'll take you there right away." Although being interrupted by Shangguan Yu was a bit annoying, it's better for him to keep a low profile for now.
Jiao Xiaolong walked towards the seat, and Shangguan Yu also followed. As long as he could see Qin Shou, even if it was a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, he would still make an attempt.
Qin Shou's place.
"Huff... I'm exhausted to death. I didn't think my numerous arrows and so much of my energy would be wasted like this. Who did this? How can they be so stingy? With so many precious bows, what's the harm in giving me one?"
Qin Shou sat on the ground, constantly complaining. Every bow he tried, but none of them fell down. Those bows seemed to be fixed in mid-air by an invisible force, no matter how he manipulated them, those bows would still float in the air.
"Haha... I didn't think that after all these years, someone would still scold me for being stingy. The most interesting thing is, this person is actually my successor. How amusing." A voice sounded in Qin Shou's ear.
"Who? Who are you? Stop pretending to be mysterious, and what makes you say I'm your successor? What can you possibly pass down to me?" Qin Shou stood up and loudly asked the surroundings.
"Who am I? I am Hou Yi! The greatest divine archer of ancient times. Do you think I'm not qualified to pass on my legacy to you? The question now is, are you qualified to receive my legacy?" That voice rang out once again.
