There was a reason why Xue Zhong was stunned.
To him, the village chief was definitely an expert who lived here in seclusion and lived like a normal person. But now that senior said that they were protected by the god, how could he accept that?
Damn.
What was going on?
The village chief saw his confusion and smiled warmly. He pointed at the statue in the village, "That is the god in our hearts, the Darkness Chief God. Our village worships him for generations to allow our village to have good weather. No, the chief god said that in the future, this isn't a village but a City of Darkness."
Xue Zhong wanted to see if there was anything wrong with the other party's expression.
But regretfully.
The village chief's expression was like that of a crazy believer and one couldn't tell that he was faking it at all.
Xue Jinrou said, "Chief, last night we were chased. Who knows where those people went?"
The village chief said, "Those people have left this place according to the will of the god and won't appear again. Don't worry, although we won't be able to give you a luxurious life in Darkness City, we can ensure your safety."
"It is late and I have to get back to work. If you have nothing to do, you can go take a look. This place isn't big and there aren't many villagers, but they are all friendly and there won't be any danger."
After saying this, the village chief smiled and walked into the distance.
After the village chief left.
Xue Jinrou was shocked, "Father, this place is so weird. Do you think it is safe for us to stay here?"
"Haiz, although this place is weird, at least it is safe. If he really wanted to harm us, he wouldn't have healed us and we could only stay here." Xue Zhong said. He then thought about something and said with a vicious expression, "Those damn Alliance."
He could only say some vicious words.
As for the rest, he didn't know what to say.
There were some things that they couldn't go against.
The old servant who had been staying by his side said, "Master, since we can meet a hidden expert here, it means that there is a chance placed in front of us. If Miss can take him as her master, she will definitely be able to revive the family in the future. Even if it's to avenge the madams, it won't be a problem."
Speaking of the madams, Xue Zhong's heart hurt. Only the few of them escaped from the Xue Family. The others all died at the hands of the Alliance.
However, he was right. This was indeed an opportunity.
"Daughter, the opportunity is right in front of you. If you can take him as your master, the future of the Xue family will be rewritten." Xue Zhong said.
Xue Jinrou was troubled, "Father, that senior said that he was the village chief. It would be difficult for me to take him as my master."
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to try. Let's take a look at the environment first. Father will deal with it at night," Xue Zhong said.
He would not give up this chance.
If he missed it, it would no longer exist.
The Xue Family old servant was really strong but he was only at God Essence Realm. But in the hands of the Alliance, he couldn't even take one strike and one of his arms was sliced off.
Subsequently.
They walked around the village, looking at the environment and the situation around them. The villagers were simple and honest. When they saw them, they smiled.
Xue Jinrou looked into the distance. There were two kids playing there, innocent and carefree.
It had to be said that this place was indeed a paradise, and it was very difficult to be discovered.
Suddenly.
She saw the kite in the kid's hands fly into the sky. The kid wanted to grab it but as it was too high, he couldn't. He was so anxious that he spun around on the spot.
She wanted to help.
But instantly, she saw a woman carrying a basket back. When she saw the kite in the sky, she floated up and took it down.
Xue Jinrou looked on in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes like she had seen wrongly.
What was going on?
That was a seemingly normal woman, but why did it feel like she was flying?
That night.
Xue Zhong and the others came to the chief's house and knocked on the door, "Senior, are you asleep?"
Very quickly, the door opened from the inside. The chief asked curiously, "Is there a problem?"
He felt that these outsiders who were saved were really weird.
When they saw him, they called him senior.
But he was just a normal villager. Although he was the chief, he wasn't a senior.
"Senior, if you are not busy, can you let us in?" Xue Zhong asked.
"No, no, come in." The chief was really confused. He really didn't understand what was going on and didn't know what was going on.
The decorations in the house were really simple and one couldn't see the elegance of an expert at all. There were even farming tools placed at the corner.
Things like chessboards, tea sets, books, etc. There were no hidden items that an expert should have.
Xue Zhong didn't care about that. Instead, because of that, he was even more certain of his thoughts.
The person in front of him was definitely an expert.
He was also an expert amongst experts. It was obvious that he gave up everything in the past to live here. They were lucky to meet such an expert.
If his daughter could become his disciple, she would definitely be able to revive the Xue Family.
Putong!
Putong!
The chief was prepared to pour tea for the few guests. When he heard that sound, he turned his head. When he saw the guests kneeling on the ground, he was terrified. He hurriedly helped them up.
"What are you all doing? Get up, get up. "
He was just the village chief of an ordinary village. He was really just an ordinary person.
Now that a group of guests were kneeling down, the village chief, who was already old and had never seen the world, was shocked.
Xue Zhong insisted on kneeling on the ground, "Senior, can you listen to me?"
The chief felt that if he didn't speak, he might really kneel for a long time, "Speak."
Xue Zhong didn't hide anything and told him about their background. For example, they faced the Alliance and many of their people died. Only they were alive and their families fought to the death to protect them.
The chief was really kind and when he heard that, he was so touched that he cried.
They lived here and didn't fight with the rest of the world. If not for the protection of the gods, the entire village would have died. This was why he could understand how he felt.
Xue Zhong saw Senior cry and thought that Senior was definitely a sentimental person.
"Senior, this is my daughter. I don't have any other intentions. I just hope that senior can take my Xue Family into account and take her as a disciple and teach her the martial path. In the future, if there is a chance, she can also revive the family." Xue Zhong's expression was emotional as he kowtowed and shouted.
The chief didn't know what to do.
Take in a disciple?
This … What did that mean?
"Guys, I am really just a normal villager and not the senior that all of you call me. All of you, please get up." The chief said.
Xue Zhong shook his head, "Senior, if you don't agree, we will kneel and not get up. Please save our Xue Family and give us one last bit of hope."
The chief exclaimed, "It isn't that I don't want to agree but I am really just a normal villager and not the senior that all of you call me."
"You want this girl to be my disciple but I have nothing to teach her."
The situation now was a little complicated.
The chief wasn't lying; he was really just a normal villager.
Xue Zhong and the others weren't wrong. The chief was a really strong expert.
"Senior, I know that an expert like you won't casually take in disciples, but you can test her." Xue Zhong felt that it was really difficult to take an expert as a disciple.
But he believed that sincerity could move metal and stone. As long as he was determined, he would be able to move him.
"Senior, it is late, so we won't disturb your rest."
Xue Zhong knew his limits. It was already late at night and even if he wanted to take him as a disciple, he had to let him rest. If he made him unhappy, then it wouldn't be worth it.
The chief looked at Xue Zhong and the others with a stunned expression.
His words were still the same.
I am really just a normal person and not the senior that all of you call me. Even if he took her as a disciple, he didn't know what he could teach her.
Of course, he could tell her the secrets of farming.
"Senior, rest early. Sorry for disturbing you." Xue Zhong said and then closed the door for him.
Outside.
A cold wind blew.
Xue Zhong said, "Daughter, this matter isn't so easy but you have to hold on. It is hard to meet an expert and if you meet one, you have to grab the chance. If you miss it, you will really miss it and there won't be another chance in the future."
Xue Jinrou nodded, "Father, I understand."
She knew what kind of burden she had on her.
She was the only young person alive in the Xue Family, so all the pressure was on her.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Kneel at his door and let him know your determination. If one day isn't enough, then two. If two days aren't enough, then kneel until he takes you in as a disciple. I believe that you will be able to move him." Xue Zhong said firmly.
It was tough to find a master, but it was even tougher to find a hidden expert. It definitely wasn't easy.
Xue Jinrou nodded her head. She knew that this was the only chance, so without her father telling her, she knew what to do.
As for Xue Zhong and the others, naturally, they went back to sleep.
They were too practical and made one feel helpless.
The next day.
The chief woke up early. When he opened the door and saw someone kneeling outside, he was shocked.
Why was there someone kneeling there for no reason?
The chief explained to her but no matter how he explained, she didn't believe him. He didn't know what to say.
Xue Jinrou was sure that this was a test for her.
If she couldn't even pass such a small test, how could she have the right to become his disciple?
Every morning.
The chief would bring the villagers to kneel in front of the statue and pray.
If Lin Fan was here, he would be able to see endless faith flowing towards the depths of the void like a galaxy.
Xue Zhong knew that his daughter had knelt there for an entire night but Senior didn't agree. He knew that things weren't so simple.
He had to continue working hard.
But he was confused.
Who was the statue that Senior was kneeling to?
Did it represent something?
"Old Master, this is a long term thing for Little Miss. To move him, she has to show her sincerity." The old servant said.
How could Xue Zhong not understand? He nodded his head, "I believe my daughter."
Many outsiders came to the village. To the villagers, there weren't many changes and it was still the same as usual.
After a long while.
A day of praying and worshipping ended.
The chief carried his hoe and headed to the fields.
Since the god came, the chief felt like his body was much stronger. He could jump really high and fly in the sky. The last time he waved his hoe, a piece of land disappeared in front of his eyes.
He knew that this was the power that the god gave him, so he was careful and didn't dare to cause too much commotion.
In the fields.
The chief waved his hoe and did the work that he had to do every day. He was used to it and if he didn't do it for a day, he would feel really uncomfortable.
Xue Jinrou looked on without blinking. She hoped that she could comprehend some top cultivation techniques from Senior's waving of the hoe.
She knew many stories.
For example, when Senior wanted to teach her skills, he wouldn't say it. He would just do some normal actions, but no one knew that there was a shocking technique hidden within.
Xue Zhong and the others didn't disturb Senior and just looked on.
After a long while.
There was a loud explosion.
The ground seemed to be shaking.
A black shadow struck from afar. Xue Zhong and the others were really wary and thought that it was someone from the Alliance.
But shortly after, a voice spread from afar.
"Hello, village chief."
In their eyes, the huge black shadow was actually a villager carrying a huge rock. He was running towards them as if he was flying.
"What are you doing?" The chief asked.
"Village chief, I am prepared to use this stone to carve some statues." The guy smiled. He didn't feel how heavy the stone was at all. It was as if he was carrying nothing at all.
Xue Zhong's eyes opened wide as he looked at those scenes.
This guy was really young but he had such strength.
He wanted to shout out loud.
"Senior, you said that you didn't know how to teach disciples, otherwise, how would you explain this?"
At that moment, the village chief's position in their hearts rose to a certain level.
If they thought that the village chief was an expert who hid from the world, then now he was an expert amongst experts.
Xue Family servant was shocked, "Village chief, this young man's cultivation has probably reached Five Element Realm."
"What?"
Xue Zhong's eyes opened wide like he had seen a ghost.
Five Element Realm?
What kind of realm was that? What kind of shocking cultivation was that?
Most importantly, he was still very young. To be able to reach such a level of cultivation at such a young age was simply unheard of and unseen.
"Daughter, you have to hold on. Xue Family's future really depends on you."
Xue Zhong only had one thought in his heart which was to make him his Master.
The chance to become a phoenix was right in front of his eyes.
Noon.
The village chief carried his hoe and walked towards the village. He looked at the guests and opened his mouth, "I know what all of you are thinking. Forget it, I shall tell all of you. I didn't cultivate my strength but it was given to me by the god."
"The other people in the village are the same."
The village chief thought about it for an entire morning and finally understood.
He knelt in front of him and wanted to be his Master because he wanted to obtain such strength.
Since that was the case, then why not spread the news about the god?
Xue Zhong listened on. He looked like he was serious but in his heart, he didn't believe what senior said.
The village chief didn't care about all that and continued, "Follow me, let me introduce all of you."
Village.
"This is the god that our village worships for generations, the Darkness Chief God. It has been a long time since the last time he appeared. For us to have such strength is because we believe in the god. The god gave us strength so that we can have a better life."
Xue Zhong looked at the chief and then at the statue. He then said with a troubled expression, "Senior, this …"
Even if the chief said that, he still didn't believe it.
Who was he lying to? One could obtain such terrifying strength just by believing in this so-called god. Why hadn't anyone said that before? It was fake, it had to be fake. Such a thing couldn't have happened.
The chief looked at the statue in respect and said, "I know that all of you don't believe me but you can ask the others in the village. They will tell you the same thing. If you want to obtain strength, you can let go of everything and believe in the Darkness Chief God. When you are loyal to a certain level, the god will give you strength."
Xue Zhong, "???"
Xue Family old servant, "???"
As for Xue Jinrou, she was totally stunned by the chief's words.
But in the end, they still looked towards the statue.
Then, they looked towards the chief like they were communicating with each other.
Really?
It was definitely true.
Okay, I believe you. Don't lie to us.
Maybe Xue Zhong really believed him because he felt that the chief didn't seem like he was lying.
Martial Path Mountain.
"I didn't expect that outsiders would come to the village. Interesting." Lin Fan knew what happened with the chief.
As long as he had faith, there was nothing he didn't know.
But what nearly made Lin Fan laugh to death was that these people actually treated the chief as a senior and wanted to be his disciple. One had to say that these people really had their own thoughts.
"Haiz, life is really interesting."
Lin Fan had already raised the limits of what young people could achieve by far, far too much.
In the past, those who could reach Grandmaster Realm at 20 could be said to be geniuses among geniuses.
Now, not to mention Grandmaster, even Five Element Realm was normal. As for Dao Realm, one day in the future, it would be really normal.
To raise the level to a certain level alone, how were the geniuses of the top sects supposed to survive?
They basically didn't need to.
They could just shout 666 from the side.
The Chief God System was decent and it was the best way to create experts.
As long as he continued to increase his strength, then the people who believed in him would also reach a terrifying level. That was strength that others might not even be able to obtain even if they risked their lives.
Today.
Lin Fan wasn't in a rush to expand his territory. He was prepared to head to the four alliances to take a look.
He didn't know how they were fighting and whether or not they were fighting with their lives on the line.
The key was that he needed rage points to raise his cultivation.
Dao Realm Stage Three was strong enough.
However, what he wanted was to crush his opponent, not to be evenly matched with his opponent. In his opinion, that would be embarrassing enough.
