It seems that Luohe Village harbors a great secret!
He chuckled softly, scanned the surroundings, and found no one following him.
That large area of decomposed bodies vanished in an instant, not even bones were left behind.
Xu Zii made his way back into the village.
The village was exceptionally quiet in the dead of night.
All the houses had turned off their lights, except for a few dry leaves being swept up by the autumn wind and twirling in the cold night.
At the east end of the village, the sa house stood quiet, eerily so.
"That wild boar is no simple creature!"
"Are all the people we sent out dead?"
"Hmm, continue or not?"
"No, aningless deaths would only showcase my ignorance as the one in power.
Let Guanlan Sect try their hand."
......
With a night of silence, Xu Zii stretched as he watched the morning sun rising in the east and yawned.
Under the tree, Gu Muyu had already prepared breakfast, with leftover roast at from yesterday and so porridge.
During breakfast, Muyu’s mom asked Xu Zii so basic questions.
The general idea was when he would leave Luohe Village.
"Mom, do you want to drive my brother away?" Gu Muyu said sowhat unhappily from the side.
"That’s not what I an," Muyu’s mom shook her head in response.
"Zimo will eventually have his own life; he can’t stay here with us forever."
"I’ll stay a few more days before leaving," Xu Zii replied with a smile.
After breakfast, Gu Muyu appeared a little unhappy, perhaps thinking about Xu Zii’s impending departure.
She took the clothes she had changed out of to the river at the entrance of the village to wash them.
When she returned, she seed to be in a much better mood.
"Brother, they’re recruiting disciples outside, it’s quite lively, do you want to go take a look?" Gu Muyu said to Xu Zii, who was leaning against a tree branch.
"Your blade technique is so good, you’d definitely be chosen.
Then you could join the Immortal Gate, seek cultivation thods, and have an easier path ahead."
"Recruiting disciples?" Xu Zii asked curiously.
"Yeah, it’s people from the Guanlan Sect, the only sect near our Luohe Village," Gu Muyu explained. "Usually, disciples go to the mountain to seek a master, but it’s very fortunate for them to co directly to our village."
"No need to go, they might co to themselves," Xu Zii said with a laugh.
These waters of Luohe Village really do run deep!
Around noon, a noisy shouting ca from outside the door.
A group of people pushed open the door and entered.
"Yu," the leading young man called out loudly as he walked in.
Gu Muyu hurried out from inside the house, and after seeing the young n, she asked curiously.
"Brother Zhao Feng, why have you co over?"
"The Immortal Master is recruiting a direct disciple in our village, and dozens have already been eliminated, none satisfying the criteria," Zhao Feng replied.
"You said last ti your brother killed a big wild boar with a single strike, so his skills must be decent.
We recomnded him to the Immortal Master."
"Really?" Gu Muyu responded with so joy.
"Why would I lie to you? The Immortal Master will arrive soon," Zhao Feng asked.
"Where’s your brother?"
"Up there," Gu Muyu pointed to the large tree next to her and shouted at Xu Zii, who was leaning against a tree branch.
"Brother, co down quickly, the Immortal Master will be here soon.
It won’t look good to be seen up there."
"It’s only from up high that you can see far," Xu Zii responded with a smile, and leaped down from the tree.
"So you are Muyu’s newly recognized brother?" Zhao Feng appraised Xu Zii and asked.
```
"He doesn’t look all that impressive!"
"Do you think soone is only formidable if they are ten feet tall and covered in muscles?" Xu Zii asked with a smile.
While they were talking, a group of people suddenly walked in from outside the door.
The person at the center of the group, dressed in a purple robe with long hair, was a middle-aged man.
There was a purple hexagon-shaped mark on the man’s forehead.
With his robe draped over him, he exhibited an extraordinary temperant, embodying the elegance of an immortal.
"Immortal Master Guanlan has arrived," Zhao Feng quickly stepped aside.
The crowd imdiately beca noisy.
"Brother," Gu Muyu said nervously, tugging at Xu Zii’s sleeve.
"It’s okay," Xu Zii gestured with his hand and looked straight at the man in the purple robe.
"This must be Immortal Master Guanlan," he stepped forward and asked.
The Immortal Master Guanlan looked at Xu Zii with puzzlent.
"Immortal Master, this is the young man I recomnded to you earlier, his na is Xu Zii," soone explained.
Immortal Master Guanlan nodded slightly and asked Xu Zii,
"You should have understood the situation by now. I wonder if you would like to beco my direct disciple?"
"I’m not willing," Xu Zii shook his head slightly.
He responded indifferently, "There seems to be no grudge between us,
so I don’t understand why you refuse to let it go?"
"I don’t understand what you’re saying," Immortal Master Guanlan replied coolly.
"Alright, then I’ll say sothing you will understand," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"I don’t think you have the qualifications to teach ."
As soon as Xu Zii finished speaking, the people in the room beca agitated.
"This guy is shalessly arrogant, daring to provoke the Immortal Master."
"We should kick him out of the village; he isn’t even from here to begin with."
Immortal Master Guanlan gestured for everyone to quiet down.
"Since you’ve said as much, my authority as an Immortal Master cannot be insulted, so I have no choice but to capture you first and wait for judgnt," Immortal Master Guanlan replied softly.
"Just by yourself?" Xu Zii narrowed his eyes.
Immortal Master Guanlan scoffed coldly, releasing the might of the Saint Vein Realm around him.
Pale blue Spiritual Energy reverberated around him as he struck down with his palm, a trendous force pressing down.
It was clear that he wasn’t underestimating the situation.
"So this mortal village really does conceal dragons amongst its tigers!" Xu Zii laughed.
Clang!
The sound of the Tyrant Shadow blade being drawn echoed through heaven and earth, Thunderbolt energy filling the blade as Xu Zii stood his ground without yielding.
He slashed directly across.
Boom!
The Tyrant Shadow tore through the Endless Void, on the verge of clashing with Immortal Master Guanlan’s right palm.
In that mont, feeling the sharpness emanating from Xu Zii’s Curved Blade,
Immortal Master Guanlan’s expression stiffened as he took several steps back, not wishing to et Xu Zii’s attack head-on.
"Simply dodging won’t do," Xu Zii laughed.
He burst forth, slashing with another blow.
This move was full of montum, and Xu Zii held nothing back.
As avoidance seed unlikely, Immortal Master Guanlan brought his hands together, condensing a cyan ball between them.
He released his hands, and the cyan sphere instantly swelled, enveloping Immortal Master Guanlan entirely.
"Interesting," Xu Zii laughed.
Tyrant Shadow stood above the sphere, sparks flying in all directions.
At that mont, Xu Zii intensified his effort, replacing Spiritual Energy with the Creation Force from within his body.
The cyan sphere shattered in an instant.
Surprised, Immortal Master Guanlan suddenly sprouted two wings at his back and flew out with great speed.
"A man of the Hidden Clan," Xu Zii was taken aback.
