In the Eastern Way Prefecture of the Great Ming Country in the Blue River Region, on the top of a barren mountain, there was a mysterious altar.
Several elderly cultivators gathered here, looking a bit restless.
"What happened in the Wang Family Village?"
An old man wearing a purple robe with six blood-colored stars embroidered on his chest asked with a sinking voice.
Another six stars elder was also quite uneasy. "We lost two four stars emissaries, and even the local Publicity Envoy was killed. Could it be that we provoked a powerful enemy?"
"I've already told you that in the White Moon Country, we all have to be careful, but you guys still want to expand. Sure enough, you kicked an iron plate, didn't you?"
"That's easy for you to say. If we don't expand, wouldn't our sect's several thousand disciples have nothing to eat?"
The several old men began to discuss, each sticking to their own point of view. Before long, their faces turned red. At this time, a voice suddenly came from mid-air. "Don't quarrel. I've just told Pan Chengfeng what happened. They did encounter a powerful opponent. Although young, his strength is unfathomable. Moreover, he has many high-rank magical tools and claims to be a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect."
The several six stars elders looked at each other. "Lingjian School?"
"Have you ever heard of this sect?"
"Or rather, which of the Spirit Sword Sects that I've heard of could teach such a disciple? Many high-rank magical tools … In our Seven Stars Sect, only the six stars elders have this kind of financial resources. "
A relatively calm Elder analyzed, "At least in the Blue River Region, there are five sects named after the Spirit Sword Sect. Among them, four of them are worthless miscellaneous sects. Their Sect Leader is barely at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and their disciples are even more unbearable; they're simply not worth mentioning. The other one is in the Shan Lun Country, whose size is similar to our Seven Stars Sect. Their Sect Leader seems to be in the Xudan Stage. Although it's hard to believe, it's not impossible to cultivate a genius disciple. "
"Shan Lun Country's Lingjian School? I'm really lucky to be able to meet a genius disciple … Nowadays, the good seedlings are basically monopolized by the sects of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, making it more and more difficult for us individual investors to survive. Alas, we've been reduced to the point of developing our forces in the wilderness. "
"Alright, what's the point of complaining about this now? Those Wanxian League's sects are arrogant and look down on us rogue cultivators. Even if they have man-made Spirit Roots, the grade of it is far higher than our Seven Star Spirit Roots. Us Six Star Elders would at most be outer sect disciples or even servants in their sects. We might as well go out and work on our own. "
"Speaking of which, don't you think the name Lingjian School sounds familiar?"
"What's so strange about that? This is one of the most common names in the World of Cultivators, right?"
"No, I mean, it seems like the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals has a Five Uniques, which are the top five sects. One of them is called Spirit Sword Sect. Do you think that disciple is …"
Before he could finish his words, the elders felt a chill run down their spines.
At this moment, the voice in the air was slightly hesitant. "… It can't be, right? How could that kind of high and mighty sect have anything to do with us? Moreover, if we really provoke a disciple of that sect, to put it bluntly, we're already finished. We'll either be refined into ten thousand spirit blood pearls, or we'll simply be patted into a sesame seed cake and eaten. Hehe, it's really terrifying. "
"Sect Leader, it's not that exaggerated, right? There's no enmity between us, no matter what … "
The voice in the air sneered. "Do you think the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League will reason with you? If you really offend one of their disciples, the elders will immediately come to your door. A few years ago, when a disciple of the Royal Soldier Sect went out to wander, he took a fancy to a female cultivator. As a result, another high-rank sect's disciple snatched his love away. The Royal Soldier Sect's disciple was young and his cultivation base was shallow, so he couldn't compete with him. After being injured, he returned to the sect. Originally, this kind of thing was not a big deal in the Immortal Cultivation World. However, on the same day, the Royal Soldier Sect dispatched three Yuanying Stage Elders to help their disciple regain his face. It is said that that high-rank sect was almost exterminated by the Royal Soldier Sect … One can imagine what kind of face those big sects have. Now that we can talk nicely, that Wang Family Village youth shouldn't be a disciple of a very prominent sect. "
An Elder enthusiastically suggested, "That being the case, we might as well send someone to capture his relatives and coerce him to work for us."
The nearby Elder sneered. "Do you want to die?"
"Didn't Sect Leader say that he might not have any background?"
"Why would he need a background? Isn't he alone not enough? He's less than fifteen years old, yet he can already kill two of our four stars emissaries. If we give him a few more years, he can single-handedly exterminate our entire sect! "
"How could he be that terrifying? Don't scare yourself."
"Hey, in recent years, sects like our Seven Stars Sect have been single-handedly exterminated by a certain genius youth, how many of them? A lot of elite disciples of big sects like to use sects like ours to practice their skills! "
Seeing that the Elders were about to quarrel again, the voice in mid-air was full of helplessness. "Enough, stop quarreling."
"Then, Sect Leader, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"... Let's wait and see first. Our people should withdraw from the Wang Family Village. At this time, it's not wrong to be cautious. "
"Withdraw?
"But, we've been in the Wang Family Village for more than two years! That village is a rare place with rich spiritual energy, which is very beneficial to our cultivation! "
"Yeah, although the Blue River Region is big, the Heavenly Cave Paradise has basically been occupied by the Wanxian League. The Wang Family Village … is really rare!"
"Enough, do you think I don't know what you're talking about? But now is not the time to be greedy for the Heavenly Cave Paradise. Only by preserving our lives can we cultivate. However, that doesn't mean we should give up on the Wang Family Village. Like I said, let's wait and see. If things go smoothly, perhaps we don't need to make our move, and the matter will naturally be solved. "
"Don't need to make our move? What does that mean? "

On the other side, with his low-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation, he bravely and invincibly repelled the two high-level Qi Cultivating Stage cultivators from the Seven Stars Sect. While he was at it, he also took away the glib-tongued Envoy. However, Wang Lu wasn't able to win back the village's former peace and harmony.
Of course, this wasn't unexpected. That door had already been destroyed, and happiness would never return … That was the logic behind it.
Wang Lu wanted to solve the matter with the least cost, but unfortunately, he couldn't avoid the massacre.
Of the two Four Stars Envoys, one was dead and the other was injured. The Publicity Envoy's tongue was cut off, and he died without a complete corpse … The Seven Stars Sect soon withdrew their forces from the Wang Family Village, but what they left behind was a mess.
After operating for two years, the Seven Stars Sect's forces have long been deeply rooted in the Wang Family Village. The theory that everyone can become an Immortal was deeply rooted in the people's hearts. When the Seven Stars Sect withdrew, people suddenly felt that their Immortal Path was severed, and they were filled with sorrow.
And the culprit was undoubtedly Wang Lu, who left the village two years ago to seek the Immortal Path, but ended up becoming a devil. Suddenly, no one knew how many people secretly cursed him.
"Alas, good people don't get good rewards."
Facing the early morning sun, Wang Lu leisurely lied in the courtyard. His hand was holding the egg pancake that his mother just made, and he gently nibbled it; he was very relaxed.
On the other side of the courtyard, Master Wang was clumsily practicing a set of martial arts, which was taught to him by Wang Lu. It was known as the Immortal Body Forging Fist, which could prolong one's life.
Originally, Master Wang was too lazy to practice it. How could prolonging one's life be more important than sleeping late in the morning? Unfortunately, he couldn't resist his wife's urging, so he had to go to bed early and get up early every day. His heart was really incomparably complicated.
Hearing his son's complaint, Master Wang was also helpless. "The villagers were deceived, don't blame them."
"Rest assured, we're also Immortal Cultivators, so we won't go so far as to argue with a group of commoners … But, if this goes on, we won't be able to stay in this village anymore."
While saying that, Wang Lu looked up at the sky. There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky; it was a rare good weather. However … in the eyes of the Void Spirit Root cultivators, they could see the withered yellow color of the village.
This time, it was not caused by an external force, but rather, the village itself had rotted away.
One of the Seven Stars Sect's Daoist Immortals was dead and one was injured. The Publicity Envoy died without a whole corpse — his tongue was minced. Logically speaking, this should be enough to deter those ignorant villagers.
However, as Wang Lu expected, after the massacre, in addition to fear, there was resentment, as well as doubled ignorance. The villagers cursed the devil for wreaking havoc, thinking that it was Wang Lu who ruined the Wang Family Village's beautiful future.
Then … they hoped that the Heaven would open its eyes and strike him with a lightning tribulation, or that the Seven Stars Sect's higher level Daoist Immortals would descend to the Earth and subdue Wang Lu. Then, they would continue to spread the Immortal Fate in the village.
In short, although the Seven Stars Sect's people were gone, the situation didn't improve.
"This village is hopeless." Wang Lu sarcastically concluded.
"Think of a way." Master Wang wiped his sweat. "Aren't you known as the Successor Disciple of the Five Uniques? If you can't even solve the problem of a small village, what kind of Successor Disciple are you? "
"Dad, you're being prejudiced. I, the Successor Disciple, am not here to be a caring sister to the ignorant villagers. If they are willing to die from stupidity, why should I stop them? My sword is only used to fight against a strong enemy! "
"Come on, you just don't want to care about it." Master Wang snappily said, "Didn't you say this time's trip down the mountain is the sect's experiential learning? Just take this as an experiential learning. Actually, the solution to this problem is very simple. As long as you can make those swindlers admit that they're swindlers, the villagers have no choice but to believe it. "
Wang Lu froze for a moment. "Yes, this idea is feasible, but …"
"The next problem is, where do I find those swindlers? They've long been scared by my illustrious reputation and fled three thousand miles away, right? Moreover, they're a small scale gang, and their Sect Leader is probably at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above. I might not be able to deal with them alone. "
Old Master Wang finished the last fist technique and answered while panting, "As for what you want to do, that's your own business. I'm just an ordinary mortal. You're asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?"
Wang Lu uttered an "oh" sound, lay back on the recliner, and then rocked it with a creaking sound.
At this time, Sui Shi came out of the house with a pot of tea and a towel. Seeing that her husband was seriously practicing, she gently smiled.
Master Wang sighed with emotion at having a good wife at home, and then he remembered something. "Oh, right, you've been practicing in the Spirit Sword Mountain for so long, you should have made some friends. If you can't do it, you can ask your friends to help you."
"... Friends?" Upon hearing this, Wang Lu deeply frowned.
—
"That's why I have to go back to the mountain in the next two days and find a few friends who can fight to help. Dad, mom, you two must protect yourselves."
That night, Wang Lu made a decision. He temporarily said goodbye to his parents and went back to the mountain to find a few able-bodied men.
At the same time, in order to ensure his safety, he used his Cloud Thread to lay a super simple array around the courtyard. Because he didn't deliberately study it, it was almost at the level of a layman. However, it was enough to deal with the ordinary villagers.
As for the Seven Stars Sect's counterattack...
"Autumn Beam, please take care of the family."
"... I will do my best."
"Mm, I also know that letting a Tool Spirit with nine layers of seals fight alone is a bit too much, so … when it's time for you to explode, just explode yourself. Don't feel bad."
"Of course you don't feel bad! I'm in pain! "
"Women are meant to be loved …"
—
After saying goodbye to his parents, Wang Lu spurred his horse to go over the mountain ridges. It only took him two days to return to the Spirit Sword Mountain; he ran like a dead dog.
The Spirit Creek Town at the foot of the Spirit Sword Mountain was still the same desolate scene. Without the economic pull of the Immortal Gathering, the Spirit Creek Town immediately returned to its original state. However, the town's residents obviously didn't care about whether the town was prosperous or not; they still lived their comfortable life in an orderly manner.
As the residents of the Lingjian School, these several hundred people were neither cultivators nor ordinary mortals. Each of them had a rich story. If one carefully dug out...
There was no time to dig out this kind of irrelevant side story! In big strides, Wang Lu rushed into the core building of the Spirit Creek Town, the Ru Family Inn.
"Lady Boss, Lady Boss, are you there?"
"Sh * t, what are you shouting for! It's not easy for me to fall asleep. "
The Lady Boss behind the counter weakly threw the rag in her hand. "Didn't you go out for experiential learning? Why did you come back? Did your IQ drop? "
Seeing the familiar face, Wang Lu was pleasantly surprised. "Sister Ling!!!"
"Sh * t, don't call me that disgusting. Who's your Sister Ling …" The Lady Boss lazily raised her eyelids, but when she saw Wang Lu, she suddenly froze.
Not only was he travel-worn and tired … this was the first time the Lady Boss saw the hesitation on Wang Lu's face.
Obviously, this youth had a big problem in his heart. Because he couldn't solve it by himself, he came back to the mountain … to ask for help?
However, this guy has been in the sect for two and a half years, has he ever been stuck by a problem? He really hasn't! This time, he only went down the mountain for a little more than a week. What exactly happened to him that gave him such a big blow?
Little Ling'Er frowned. She fully invoked her more than thirty years of life experience...
"Little Wang Lu, could it be that you are … lovelorn?"
