In the jungle, Xu Zii encountered many wild beasts.
His Tyrant Shadow flew directly over and instantly pierced through the neck of a wild boar weighing over 200 pounds.
The massive body of the wild boar was nailed to a tree.
Blood flowed down the blade.
Gu Muyu wasn’t scared at all, picked up a few stones from the ground and threw them at the wild boar.
Only after confirming the wild boar was dead did she dare to approach and take a look.
"Brother, you’re so amazing, killing this wild boar with a single slice.
You’re even more formidable than Grandpa Shao in the village."
Xu Zii smiled, pulled out the Tyrant Shadow, hoisted the wild boar’s carcass over his shoulder, and walked towards ho.
"Grandpa Shao is that formidable?"
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, Gu Muyu quickly nodded her head.
She said, "Very formidable. He was chosen to be the village head because he is the strongest.
I’ve heard that when he was young, he went to the nearby Guanlan Sect and was a servant disciple there for a while.
He learned Cultivation Techniques and is now a Martial Artist in the Spirit Vein Realm.
He is the most formidable person I have seen in my lifeti.
Oh, that’s not right; he isn’t as formidable as you, brother."
This girl was like a chatterbox, perhaps because she rarely encountered soone her age whom she could talk to.
She talked to Xu Zii about everything along the way, asking him all sorts of questions.
It was now the afternoon, and Luohe Village seed very lively.
So people gathered at the entrance chatting with each other, while others busied themselves with their own tasks.
When they saw Xu Zii carrying a large wild boar, everyone was dumbstruck.
The forest outside Luohe Village was ho to nurous and cunning wild beasts, usually difficult to catch.
Apart from a few young and strong n in the village who could capture wild beasts under the leadership of the village head, it was nearly impossible for others.
Seeing such a big wild boar now, many people couldn’t believe their eyes.
"Muyu, where have you been off to?" soone in the village asked curiously.
"I went hunting with my brother," Gu Muyu smiled and replied.
"Your brother? Since when do you have a brother? How co I don’t know about it?" soone else asked warily.
"I just acknowledged him. A few days ago, I saved him by the river," Gu Muyu said with a smile.
"You better be careful; there are a lot of bad people out there these days," soone cautioned.
"I know," Gu Muyu nodded, not bothered, and hurriedly caught up with Xu Zii.
...
After returning ho, Gu Muyu was very happy.
She set up a pot to boil water while Xu Zii took the chance to deal with the wild boar.
They were busy until the evening when it started to grow dark.
The two lit a bonfire in the yard, half of it used to grill at and the other half placed in a pot to stew.
The leftovers were stored away.
In a room in the eastern part of Luohe Village.
The room was pitch black as if the darkness had enveloped everything around it.
Several shadows rged with the darkness gathered here.
"The wild boar is in the pot, it’s ti to kill."
"With no failures tolerated, we cannot make any mistakes."
As the voice filled with murderous intent faded, the empty room fell silent once more.
...…
Xu Zii tore off a large piece of the roasted at and handed it to Gu Muyu.
And Gu Muyu ate it with relish.
She ladled so of the stewed at and broth into a bowl and brought it to her mother in the room.
"Yu, do we have guests at ho?" Muyu’s mom asked curiously.
"Where did this at co from?"
"Brother Zii got it from hunting," Gu Muyu briefly recounted the events.
Then, she helped her mother to the courtyard.
Muyu’s mom thanked Xu Zii profusely, and Xu Zii just smiled and didn’t say much.
He glanced at Muyu’s mom and slightly furrowed his brow.
This wasn’t an ordinary woman, judging by the fluctuations of spiritual energy within her body, she was at least a strong martial artist of the Esteem Vein Realm.
A warrior of this realm, even if blinded and thus greatly weakened in combat, wouldn’t be much affected in daily life.
And yet, Gu Muyu’s household was living in such difficulty.
This Muyu’s mom was hiding sothing.
Even though Xu Zii didn’t know what it was, he wasn’t interested in prying.
Everyone has secrets, as long as they don’t interfere with oneself, that’s fine.
After everyone had eaten, Xu Zii didn’t insist on sleeping in the bed again.
After all, it was Gu Muyu’s bed; he prepared to ditate for the night up in a tree in the courtyard.
The night deepened and the temperature between heaven and earth dropped significantly.
Xu Zii leaned against a tree branch, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on a corner of the courtyard wall, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
He climbed down from the tree and walked straight towards the river outside the village.
"It seems he’s noticed us," a deep voice arose from the darkness.
"Follow him!"
The lake’s surface was uniquely beautiful at night.
Moonlight reflected in the water, and the river flowed smoothly.
"Having followed for so long, aren’t you planning to show yourself?" Xu Zii asked, turning his head with a smile.
"It seems you’re quite confident," three black shadows gradually appeared out of thin air.
They were three black-clad figures, each wearing a bamboo hat that shrouded their entire body.
"Confident in what?" Xu Zii inquired.
"You dare to lead us here, are you confident you can beat us?
Or have you found a good feng shui burial place for yourself?" the black-clad figure replied with a laugh.
"Do we know each other?" Xu Zii asked.
"There are many things in this world that don’t require acquaintances in order to kill you," the black-clad figure in the middle said indifferently.
"Three martial artists of the Emperor Pulse Realm, I wonder who gave you the courage to say such words," Xu Zii said, shaking his head.
Hearing Xu Zii perceive their realm at a glance, the three figures were taken aback.
They took a step back and said, "It seems you really did co for that thing!"
Xu Zii slightly furrowed his brow— he had co here inadvertently.
But from the black-clad figure’s words, it seed there was so story here!
Xu Zii made a dismissive gesture.
Before the three black-clad figures could react, they suffered heavy blows from behind.
They lay on the ground, limp as if made of mud.
All three of them changed drastically in complexion; they had been ambushed, and they had not noticed it beforehand at all.
Xu Zii gestured again, and the figure of Mad Blood Old Demon faded into the void.
"Let’s hear it," Xu Zii said.
"Hear what?" the figure in black snorted coldly. "Are you sent by soone?
Great Clear Ancient Sect or Chu King Sect?"
"I want to know what that thing you ntioned is," Xu Zii asked with a frown.
The black-clad figure was slightly astonished, not expecting that Xu Zii truly didn’t know.
"If you truly are unaware, release us and leave. We can let bygones be bygones.
This is a quagmire; you’ll only sink deeper."
"But now I seem to be interested," Xu Zii replied lightly.
"Desire will drag you down to hell!"
After the black-clad figure spoke, he instantly lost all breath.
His body then began to rot massively.
The other two black-clad figures were t with the sa scene.
Xu Zii, witnessing this, slightly furrowed his brow.
These people were not afraid of death and were decisive.
It seed they had long been prepared to die.
