They wore uniform robes, resembling Immortal Robes.
Around them flowed Immortal Qi, primarily in white and blue-violet, with both n and won among them.
The leader was a middle-aged man.
Seeing the villagers' anger, the middle-aged man neither feared nor beca angry.
Instead, he replied, "Everyone, please don't be upset. We have no malicious intent.
It's just that a teor has fallen, and since you're the closest, we just want to learn more about the situation."
"Gathering information shouldn't require searching our East Sea Village, though," Nanji Weng said.
He was the village head of the entire East Sea Village and the oldest elder. Whenever sothing happened in the village, he had to resolve it.
Otherwise, he couldn't trust the young people.
"Precisely because you're so close, if there are any treasures, you might be the first to find them, wouldn't you agree?"
The leading middle-aged man continued to smile kindly.
"The waters are too deep here; you shouldn't wade into them.
Handing over the treasures to us will ensure your safety.
Even if we don't search, others will co.
Conversely, if you cooperate, we might even protect you."
"Elder, do you know our background?" A white-robed person beside him stepped forward, reminding him.
"We are disciples of the Magpie Bridge Fairyland.
This is our Inner Gate Great Elder, Lu Zhijian."
Upon hearing their credentials, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Xu Zii had just reached the end of the street and asked Dan Hu, "What kind of background does this Magpie Bridge Fairyland have?"
"Keep your voice down," Dan Hu responded in a low voice, a bit frightened. "Magpie Bridge Fairyland is one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Continent.
They, along with the Other Shore Capital, rule almost half of the Eastern Continent's territory."
Hearing these unfamiliar nas, Xu Zii couldn't help but feel sentintal about the changes over ti.
He then asked, "Have you heard of the Purgatory Holy Sect?"
"What Purgatory Holy Sect?" Dan Hu shook his head.
"What about the Immortal Spirit Sect and the Holy Spring Sect?" Xu Zii asked again.
These were well-known Imperial Rule Immortal Sects in the Eastern Continent when he left the Yuan Central Continent.
Although he had beco a Great Emperor and the True Martial Holy Sect was extrely glorious, it had not unified the entire Eastern Continent.
The other Imperial Rule Immortal Sects maintained a delicate balance.
After all, the Great Emperor wouldn't stay long. After bearing Destiny, the Great Emperor ultimately ascends to their own path.
No one can guarantee that a force will have the strength to continue unifying the continent after the Great Emperor leaves.
So in the course of developnt throughout the ages, even if a Great Emperor bears Destiny, they will not truly unify the Yuan Central Continent.
Because they do not belong to this world.
Hearing Xu Zii's questions, Dan Hu thought for a mont and said, "I haven't heard of the Holy Spring Sect, but I do know the Immortal Spirit Sect."
"They are an Imperial Rule Immortal Sect, and this force only recruits won, right?"
"Yes, how is the Immortal Spirit Sect now?" Xu Zii asked.
"Although they are not comparable to the Magpie Bridge Fairyland and the Other Shore Capital, their current Sect Master, the Hundred Flowers Fairy, is a top master.
She ranks high even in the Eastern Continent."
The two were chatting as they reached the village entrance.
Seeing Xu Zii awake, Nanji Weng, as the village head, furrowed his eyebrows even more deeply.
He felt the waters were getting murkier and sensed himself getting trapped, unable to escape.
"Village head, he wanted to co out once he awakened, and I couldn't stop him," Dan Hu quickly explained.
Nanji Weng shook his head; he couldn't decide anything.
He then said, "Earlier, the villagers rescued you from the Endless Sea; are you alright now?"
"There was no problem initially, no need for you to rescue .
But since you ant well, and besides, you are descendants of old friends, I should look after you," Xu Zii laughed.
His words left Nanji Weng surprised and suspicious.
Not knowing Xu Zii's intentions, and given Xu Zii's mysterious background, he could only watch quietly.
Then Xu Zii turned his head to look at the people of Magpie Bridge Fairyland and the leading elder, Zhao Zhijian.
Waving his hand, he said, "Go back; return from wherever you ca. This matter no longer concerns you."
"You don't seem to be from this village," Zhao Zhijian smiled.
"May I ask where you are from? Please state your na."
Though the Magpie Bridge Fairyland was quite powerful, and they feared nothing in the Eastern Continent,
Zhao Zhijian preferred caution, believing that caution cos with fewer mistakes.
So despite his ordinary aptitude, he still advanced significantly, becoming the Inner Gate Great Elder of the Magpie Bridge Fairyland.
This was because he conducted himself wisely, without arrogance or haste.
At this mont, before Xu Zii could respond, another group ca up from behind.
This group was clad in black robes, covering themselves entirely, clearly not easy to deal with.
Each person in these black robes seed to exude a wisp of black air.
As the black-robed group approached, the black air connected as if to cover the sky.
"Now, we are in charge here."
The black-robed figures imdiately sought to take control.
"mbers of the Magpie Bridge Fairyland, please leave."
Seeing the black-robed figures, Zhao Zhijian slightly frowned and said, "Abyss of Nightmares?
You hidden pests have also co."
"Elder Zhao, that's not the way to put it.
Even your Magpie Bridge Fairyland's leader recognizes us, and you surely don't want to start a war," one of the black-robed figures grinned and said.
"To be honest, there's no need to speak kindly in dealing with these ants.
Death is the greatest fear."
With those words, the black-robed figure drew the long knife from his waist.
This was no ordinary knife, its surroundings forged with skulls, the blade sharpened with White Bone, wrapped in eternal black air.
Clearly, it was an evil knife.
He grinned as if human lives were worthless and said, "Everyone, I'll ask questions, and you will answer.
Hesitate for a second, and I'll kill soone."
With these words, the faces of everyone in East Sea Village changed.
Even those from Magpie Bridge Fairyland felt it was excessive, but knowing who these people were,
The Abyss of Nightmares, they could understand.
Zhao Zhijian frowned, unsure how to respond.
By rights, they did not want conflict, but the actions of those from the Abyss of Nightmares were too much.
Fortunately, before he could speak, Xu Zii took the initiative.
"This is quite aningless, what sense is there in killing these defenseless mortals?
How about we play a different ga?"
Xu Zii's words attracted everyone's attention.
The black-robed figure sneered.
He swung his long knife directly at Xu Zii.
"You've got guts, kid, daring to boast in front of ."
With a "crack" sound,
The long knife shattered, and a head flew off.
