Chapter 349

Shi Xuan trekked over mountains and rivers and killed many demonic beasts before finally arriving at the approximate location given by his master. It was the Miao Clan's stockade that was located on a gentle hill. According to his master, he had once visited this Chi Clan's stockade when he was traveling around the world. He even had a friendly relationship with their chief. The Yin Yang Aura was in the vicinity of the Chi Clan's stockade. However, Mo Yuan did not give him the exact location of the Yin Yang Aura. It was probably because he wanted Shi Xuan to search for it himself so that he could train himself.

Since it was his master's old friend, Shi Xuan had to pay a visit. At the same time, he wanted to use this stockade as a focal point to slowly search for the Yin Yang Aura.

Shi Xuan walked past some of the fields that the Chi family had opened up and arrived at the entrance of the stockade village. Two men with colorful paint on their faces came forward and stopped him. They spoke in a gibberish language. Fortunately, Shi Xuan had used the Mind Reading Spell on himself and he finally understood what they were trying to say. What are you doing in our Chi Clan's stockade? "

After changing his words with a spell, Shi Xuan replied, "I am Shi Xuan. I am ordered by my master, Mo Yuan, to look for Chi Zhi, the chief of Chi Clan."

The two men looked at each other with a strange expression, and then one of them went back to the stronghold to report the news.

After a while, a bright and beautiful girl dressed in the Miao Clan's traditional clothing with a headscarf walked out quickly. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old and there was a hint of worry in her eyes. She looked slightly excited. When she saw Shi Xuan, she immediately bowed solemnly, "Chi Yao greets granduncle!"

The corner of Shi Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. Granduncle? Hmm, his master was about a hundred and thirty years old. When he traveled around the world, it should be about ninety years ago. According to the calculation of a normal person's generation after twenty to thirty years, it was very reasonable for this Miss Chi Yao to call him granduncle. So, he gestured to Chi Yao not to be overly courteous, "May I know where the old chief of Chi Zhi's stockade is?"

"My ancestor has passed away for almost sixty years." Chi Yao smiled bitterly, "May I know why you are here, granduncle? Is there anything Chi Yao can help with? "

Shi Xuan then realized that the old chief of Chi Zhi was probably not a cultivator so he couldn't live that long. But there were many demonic beasts in the Shiwan Mountains. What did the Chi Clan rely on to survive? He couldn't directly ask this question in his heart, so he faintly replied, "I was originally ordered by my master to visit the old chief of Chi Zhi's stockade and inquire some information. Now that Old Master Chi Zhi has passed away, this humble Daoist shall light an incense stick on behalf of Master. "

Chi Yao pouted. "Granduncle, if you come here just to light a stick of incense and leave, the people from other villages will say that our Chi Clan Village doesn't treat our guests well. Besides, if Granduncle wants to inquire about some information, Chi Yao can ask the elders in the village to come out and let Granduncle ask them."

"That's very good. Then I'll stay in the stockade village for a few days. Miss Chi Yao, please help me ask the elders if they've ever seen a cold and masculine baleful aura nearby." Shi Xuan didn't refuse. He had planned to stay in the Chi Clan stockade for a few days. Firstly, it was convenient for him to look for evil spirit. Secondly, the person the Medicine King Sect was looking for had entered the Shiwan Mountains. If he stayed outside at night, he might run into some trouble.

Chi Yao smiled brightly, like the clear sky after the rain and snow, "Granduncle, our seniority is too different. You should call me by my name. Or you can call me Little Yao."

As she spoke, she enthusiastically helped Shi Xuan into the stockade. Shi Xuan didn't refuse her kindness, but the Tai Chi diagram in his Dantian was still waiting to be activated. One must always be on guard against others.

As they walked into the stockade, the Miao people they met looked at them curiously. Some of them even turned around and left immediately, as if they were going to report to someone.

Shi Shuan could feel that Chi Yao's hand, which was supporting him, was trembling a little and her heart was beating very fast. However, her expression was the same as usual and it could not be seen at all. "Granduncle, you can stay in Chi Yao's house later. It's that two-story bamboo building." Most of the houses in the stockade were bamboo houses, only a few were bamboo buildings.

Shi Xuan was about to answer Chi Yao when a few men from the Miao family walked towards them. The leader was a tall and ferocious-looking young man. He asked in a fierce tone, "Little Yao, who is this?! You're going to be mine soon. How can you help another man?! "

Chi Yao didn't show any weakness and said, "Zhang Qi, this is the disciple of my ancestor's good friend. He's my granduncle. What's wrong with me, a junior, helping an elder? Besides, what do you mean I'm going to be yours soon? Let me tell you, unless I, Chi Yao, am dead, don't be delusional. Also, I'm the chief of the Chi family's stockade now. You should be more respectful when you speak! "

It wasn't a long sentence, but it made Shi Xuan smell the stench of melodrama. He also understood why Chi Yao was so enthusiastic. However, this wasn't the time to interrupt, so Shi Xuan stood there and watched with an unchanged expression.

"Yes, young stockade chief! But the whole stockade supports me to marry you. You have to marry me even if you don't want to. Let's go! " Zhang Qi deliberately emphasized the word "little" and then looked at Shi Xuan with a fierce gaze. Only then did he turn around and leave with a few men.

Chi Yao didn't say anything when she saw Zhang Qi leave. She lowered her head so that Shi Xuan couldn't see her expression. Then, she continued to help Shi Xuan walk towards the two-story bamboo building.

As soon as they entered the bamboo building, Chi Yao closed the door and leaned against it. She slowly shrunk down to the ground, hugging her knees and sobbing softly. After a while, she finally stopped. She raised her tearful face and looked at Shi Xuan who had found a stool to sit on. She blushed in embarrassment and said, "I've let you see a joke, Granduncle. Little Yao really couldn't control herself just now. "

Shi Xuan didn't say anything. He just gently raised the corner of his mouth and looked at her. When Chi Yao saw Shi Xuan's faint smile and his eyes that seemed to see through the world but had a little childlike innocence, a light flashed in her mind. She knew that her thoughts had been seen through. She immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed while sobbing, "Please save Little Yao, Granduncle."

"Just now, when Little Yao heard that you are the disciple of Ancestor Mo Yuan, my heart was filled with excitement. My ancestor once told his descendants that his good friend, Mo Yuan, had the ability to see through heaven and earth and was a living immortal. In the future, if I'm fated to meet him again, I must serve Ancestor Mo Yuan as I serve him."

"Little Yao thought that since Granduncle is the disciple of Ancestor Mo Yuan, you must also be extremely powerful. That's why I saw a glimmer of hope in despair. That's why I supported you so affectionately. Please don't take it to heart, Granduncle."

Chi Yao said over and over again and finally said what was in her heart. Then, she looked at Shi Xuan with pleading eyes.

"Get up. Tell me the cause and effect. Only then can I help you." Through Qi Observation, Shi Xuan saw that the strength of the people in Chi Clan's village was not strong. The strongest were only a few Out of Aperture Stage. However, they were not Out of Aperture Stage cultivators, but Nuance Stage cultivators who practiced martial arts. Therefore, it was not a problem for him to help the descendants of his master's good friend.

Chi Yao stood up happily and then respectfully served Shi Xuan, "This matter has to start from three years ago. At that time, when my father and a few of my uncles were hunting, they encountered a demonic beast that could transform into a human (Qi Drawing Stage). In the end, all of them died."

On and off, Chi Yao finally explained everything clearly. Although the Chi Clan Village was called the Chi Clan Village, there were not only people with the surname Chi. There were also surnames Zhang, Fang, Liu, Xi, Fu, and other surnames. These surnames were also united together through the bonds of marriage. However, the position of the Village Master must be assumed by the person who led everyone through all the difficulties and hardships to establish the Village, which was also Chi Yao's family.

After Chi Yao's father and several brothers died, the older generation had long passed away. Therefore, Chi Yao of the younger generation became the chief of the village. After all, she was the oldest among the remaining children with the surname Chi. The other children ranged from two to five years old. Moreover, there had been precedents of a woman taking the post of chief, so no one objected.

However, Chi Yao had no talent in martial arts, especially when it came to practicing the White Tiger Seven Blades passed down by the surname Chi. After three years, she could not even practice a single blade technique to the small success level. Moreover, during these three years, a lot of the forest belonging to them had been nibbled away by Pan Clan Village and Yao Clan Village, forcing many people in the village to go deeper into the forest to hunt. The powerful demonic beasts in the forest were far more than those that had been developed, so many people had died.

Under such circumstances, another big family with the surname Zhang proposed that their descendant, Zhang Qi, should marry into the Chi Clan and help Chi Yao manage the affairs in the village. Zhang Qi was the number one expert of the younger generation. He had already mastered the Mountain Splitting Blade Technique passed down by the Zhang Clan, but his internal energy cultivation was still lacking, so he could not advance to the Refinement Stage.

Of course, Chi Yao did not like Zhang Qi. Moreover, in recent years, the Zhang Clan had relied on their large numbers to show signs of disobeying the orders of the chief. Therefore, she immediately refused. What she did not expect was that the other families, including the surname Chi, began to persuade her to accept Zhang Qi. In the end, they even said that if she did not marry Zhang Qi, she would be the main culprit of the decline of the village.

Chi Yao looked gentle and beautiful, and she was young. Her mother had also passed away in the past three years. She seemed to be easily swayed by the will of others, but in fact, she was very stubborn and a little rebellious. The more she was pressured, the more she would not agree. However, recently, everyone seemed to be trying to force her. This made Chi Yao, who did not have a high level of martial arts, feel uneasy. The appearance of Shi Xuan gave Chi Yao the feeling that she had grasped the last straw.

"Why is the older generation of your clan not here?" Since Shi Xuan had decided to help, he naturally had to ask clearly. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Chi Yao smiled bitterly. "The White Tiger Seven Blades is a blade technique with an extremely heavy murderous aura. If you use it for a long time, it will hurt your body. Therefore, most of the Chi Clan cannot live more than half a century. However, it is a technique passed down by our ancestors. It is very powerful. When practiced to the Refinement Stage, one can even kill a demonic beast that can transform into a human at the Refinement Stage."

So that was why. However, Master had also come here in the past. Why didn't he help his good friend solve this problem? Shi Xuan continued to ask, "When my master came, did he improve the White Tiger Seven Blades?"

Chi Yao's answer answered Shi Xuan's doubts, "Ancestor Mo Yuan did think about it, but this set of saber techniques was passed down from ancient times. He couldn't improve it, and he didn't have any other martial arts of equal power to replace it. So, he persuaded my ancestor to follow him to practice, but the price was to give up the White Tiger Seven Saber Techniques. My ancestor refused after some consideration.
