Chapter 39 Eight Great Bandits

Zero said, "No need to ask anymore. You are Blue Shirt Bandit, Jia Zhen."

"Back then, your Eight Great Bandits did come to the inn and encountered the innkeeper, Nangong Yunmeng."

"I believe you had a great battle."

"However, the ones who took over Yin Yang Inn were not your Eight Great Bandits, but the five stewards who betrayed the inn."

Blue Shirt Bandit laughed heartily, "Smart!"

"I didn't expect my story to be seen through so quickly. It seems I'm not suited to telling stories!"

Zero continued to ask, "How did you come back to life?"

Blue Shirt Bandit said, "At that time, I was indeed dead. Some were even torn to pieces, their bodies incomplete."

"There is a place in Yin Yang Inn specifically for burying tenants, called the Burial Ground."

"However, only tenants recognized by the inn or those who have contributed to the inn are qualified to be buried there."

"Others who have offended the inn are thrown into a sinkhole."

"We were thrown into the sinkhole, and inexplicably came back to life in the sinkhole."

"After we came back to life, we immediately wanted to take revenge on the inn. However, this time, the strength of the five stewards had also suddenly increased significantly."

"The former defeated generals not only easily captured us, but also imprisoned us separately, forcing us to reveal the secret of our resurrection."

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did you come back to life?"

Blue Shirt Bandit said with a wry smile, "How would I know?"

"I just felt like I had a nightmare. When I woke up, I was still shaken, but I really came back to life."

"I can't figure it out myself. Why were there so many corpses in the sinkhole where bodies were dumped, but only the five of us came back to life?"

"Also, after we came back to life, it seems like we can't die."

"That fellow surnamed Jia burned me for so long, but as long as spirit energy is inputted, I will come back to life. I simply..."

I couldn't help but frown. When I escaped from the villa, I relied entirely on Gang energy to protect my body, and the time wasn't long. If I had been trapped inside at that time and burned for several hours, I'm afraid not even my corpse would be left.

Blue Shirt Bandit was only burned until cooked, which is obviously illogical!

Zero said, "How much spirit energy do you need to restore yourself to your original state?"

Blue Shirt Bandit's eyes lit up, "If someone in the Tian Gang realm transfers their power to me, I can fully recover. If there are two people, I can directly return to my peak state."

Zero said, "Not true energy, can you use ghost-god power?"

Blue Shirt Bandit nodded desperately, "Yes, any kind of spirit energy will do."

Without hesitation, Zero threw out two chess pieces, "Take these and absorb them. After you recover, I have questions for you."

Blue Shirt Bandit twisted his body, put the chess pieces in his mouth, and closed his eyes.

I said to Zero, "Your ghost-god chess pieces are hard-earned, isn't it a waste to use them like this?"

Zero waved his hand dismissively, "I'm just using spare chess pieces. Besides, are we afraid of not being able to catch ghosts and gods when we get to Yin Yang Inn?"

I looked at the rapidly recovering Blue Shirt Bandit, "Do you want to let him out to stir up Yin Yang Inn?"

"Yes!" Zero said, "I suspect that the one who resurrected the Eight Great Bandits was Nangong Yunmeng."

Zero explained, "The emperor's corpse was sent to Yin Yang Inn, and Nangong Yunmeng was determined to protect the emperor. After the Eight Great Bandits incident, Nangong Yunmeng also realized that Yin Yang Inn was not absolutely safe."

"So, Nangong Yunmeng took the emperor's corpse and entered the deepest level of the inn's secret realm. Only there is the safest place."

"At the same time, Nangong Yunmeng had to ensure that the inn could operate normally. Therefore, she came up with a way to check and balance each other, which was to use the Eight Great Bandits to restrain the five stewards."

"Nangong Yunmeng first distributed the inn's power to the five stewards, making them able to control the life and death of tenants within their respective areas. The five stewards, having experienced unprecedented power, would covet the position of innkeeper, which formed the first restraint."

"Nangong Yunmeng felt that this was not enough, so she resurrected the Eight Great Bandits."

"When the five stewards saw the Eight Great Bandits who had been killed before, they would inevitably be terrified. In order to find out the truth about their resurrection, the five stewards would definitely divide the prisoners equally."

"If my previous deduction is correct, the captured Eight Great Bandits' memories will definitely have an additional part of the inn's secrets. That is their capital to live on, and also the source of mutual suspicion among the five stewards."

"The five stewards need to be wary of each other on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have to find a way to find out the secrets held by the other party. They can never unite into a single force, and can only restrain each other, and Yin Yang Inn will enter a relatively safe environment."

"And..."

Zero said, "I suspect that the five stewards of Yin Yang Inn may have been replaced by some of the Eight Great Bandits."

I couldn't help but nod, "That's possible. The Eight Great Bandits are not famous for nothing. They are not only good at waiting for opportunities, but also good at creating opportunities. Maybe they can complete a wonderful counter-kill at any time."

A thought suddenly flashed in my mind, "Why do I feel that Nangong Yunmeng's arrangement is a bit like the art of emperors?"
