East Field County.
Green peak Village.
A tavern that usually only saw a handful of people drinking.
Today, however, it was buzzing with unusual activity.
An old man and a simple-minded boy were managing the bustling business.
His na was Wu Dong, and although he was only sixteen this year,
his physique was exceptionally brawny, standing at about one hundred eighty centiters.
His muscles were prominent and extraordinarily firm.
If it weren't for the few strands of fluff on the corners of his mouth, others might really mistake him for a robust thirty-year-old man.
He was exceptionally strong.
Everyone in and around the village knew that he possessed innate divine strength.
At the age of six, to save a village companion, he killed an ironclad ox with his bare fists.
Although an ironclad ox was a low-level demon beast, even adults were no match for it,
let alone a six-year-old boy.
At that ti, the villagers all believed that Wu Dong would beco a powerful cultivator in the future.
So the whole village pooled together so silver taels
and invited a prestigious cultivator from the neighboring town
to conduct a talent assessnt for him.
However, the final result disappointed everyone.
It turned out that this guy was born with blocked ridians and was completely unable to cultivate.
What's more, he was also unable to practice body cultivation.
No matter what kind of body cultivation technique was used, his body just couldn't retain spiritual energy.
With no other options, the people of Green peak Town eventually chose to give up.
Wu Dong was also simple-minded, failing to grasp his brush with becoming a superior person and happily helping his father manage the small tavern every day.
These past few days, the tavern's business had suddenly flourished, keeping Wu Dong extrely busy.
Many travelers, passing through this place,
chose to have a drink in his small tavern.
These travelers were all dressed to the nines, with the young n looking handso and dashing.
Occasionally, one could spot one or two beautiful won.
This also left Wu Dong, the simpleton, staring in awe.
Those won's skin was even more tender than the tofu made by the beauty in the neighboring village, extrely delicate.
Even if simple-minded, Wu Dong knew that these outsiders were all those powerful cultivators.
As a result, his father had already warned them in secret.
Do not provoke these people at all costs, lest an accident invite a deadly disaster.
Wu Dong was obedient and acted cautiously.
When serving guests, he was always extrely careful.
Today, as on the previous days, the tavern was abnormally bustling.
Wu Dong was also busy to the point of sweating profusely, and quite happily at that.
However, his eyes would still occasionally glance towards the blue-haired woman sitting outside the tavern.
Wu Dong had to admit that in his sixteen years of life, he had never seen such a beautiful woman.
Ice blue hair, an exquisite and stunning face.
Especially those ice blue eyes, they were just like delicate crystal, captivating him.
But the woman had not glanced at him from beginning to end.
The aloof aura she emanated made him not dare to approach.
"Ice Blue, it seems your charm is not small, eh? This kid hasn't taken his eyes off you since we walked in," Xu Nian said with a chuckle, teasing her.
That's right, the ice blue-haired woman was none other than Ice Blue,
who was traveling with Xu Nian.
In addition, there were Xu Yu and the rest of their group.
As for why they ca to this small tavern,
that was naturally Xu Nian's decision.
Because taverns are often the best places to gather information.
Of course, if soone knew that this small tavern was simultaneously hosting six Battle Emperor level experts, they would be utterly shocked.
However, it has to be said, Xu Nian's decision was quite the right one.
At this mont, two young cultivators of Battle Sect level were sitting at the next table discussing this matter.
"This is already the third day, who knows how many people have entered," said one of the youths with a mole at the corner of his mouth.
"But up until now, it seems like not a single person has co out," his companion responded.
"Indeed, everyone is heading to Cuiping Mountain now, and who knows how many will co out alive," the youth with the mole remarked.
"Even if they do co out alive, it's not certain they'll be able to bring back any treasures. Now there's a group of ruthless people squatting at the entrance to the Small World, unless you're very strong or backed by powerful forces, you will also be robbed if you co out," the other youth said.
"Sigh, these bandits really stop at nothing for the sake of treasures, but it's none of our business. With our cultivation level, we can at most watch the excitent. As for the treasures, we shouldn't even think about it," the youth with the mole sighed.
"It has to be said, this ti really a lot of strong warriors have co. I heard many Saints and even Battle Emperor experts have taken action. Cuiping Mountain is truly bustling with excitent now," his companion said, taking a sip of his drink.
...
The two then resud their animated discussion.
Xu Nian showed a look of surprise.
He had not expected that the entrance to the Sect of the Ancient Relics was actually in Cuiping Mountain.
As for Cuiping Mountain, Xu Nian was more than familiar with it.
It was just an inconspicuous small mountain ten miles outside of Cloud Sea City.
Xu Nian had even climbed it before.
He had not thought that it was actually the entrance to a Small World.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
When Xu Nian had been to Cuiping Mountain, he was still a child.
Not even a Martial Artist, let alone discovering the entrance to a Small World.
Even if he had found it, he probably would have died for sure if he'd gone in.
But listening to the two youths, it seed entering the Small World wasn't that easy.
And it didn't seem to be peaceful inside the Small World either.
No one had co out from inside.
There were even people wanting to stand outside and rob others, opportunists and thugs mingled together.
But they, a group of six Battle Emperor level experts.
How could they be afraid of these riffraff?
"Damn, are you blind? You actually spilled wine on ,"
However, at that mont, a scolding voice broke Xu Nian's contemplation.
It turned out that Wu Dong, the simpleton, had accidentally spilled his drink on a youth, wetting the other's clothes.
So, this youth flared up on the spot.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it wasn't on purpose, he tripped , and that's why I..." Wu Dong hastily apologized, pointing at the youth's companion.
"So, an apology is useful? Do you know my clothes here are worth a hundred gold coins?" the youth imdiately retorted fiercely.
"A hundred gold coins?" Wu Dong said with a look of astonishnt.
A hundred gold coins was the tavern's yearly earnings.
How could any clothes be that expensive?
"Quickly, pay up!" the youth said nacingly.
There was a crafty look in his eyes.
That's right, they were there to extort money.
Wu Dong hadn't been paying attention when the wine was spilled because his companion had intentionally tripped him.
The purpose was to extort a sum of money.
In his eyes, this foolish boy and the old man were ordinary people.
And he and his companion were both Nine-star Warriors.
They'd have to hand over the money without question.
"You're just extorting , it was your companion who deliberately tripped , causing the wine to spill, and your clothes are just wet, why should I have to pay you?" Wu Dong said indignantly.
"Hmph, you foolish boy, if you don't pay up, I'll kill you today. Do you know that I am a Nine-star Warrior?" the youth sneered.
His companion also stood up, looking at Wu Dong with a face full of scorn.
Wu Dong clenched his fists, his face full of rage.
