"This looks like an eye! It's an extremely powerful eye! " Yi Menggui looked at the black pearl and revealed a surprised expression. "The owner of this eye is very likely an innate Godfiend! If you can transplant this eye into your own eye, you might be able to obtain the power of this eye. At that time, your battle prowess might instantly skyrocket! I have this transplant method in my hands. Brother Zhao, won't you consider it? "
"No! That won't do. This belongs to someone else. How can I do that? Absolutely not! "Zhao Yuan hurriedly waved his hands.
"Alright! Then forget it! " Yi Menggui was very satisfied with Zhao Yuande's reaction. She smiled slyly at him, and there was a trace of trust in her smile.
"You … Fairy Yi, let's not talk like that. You're tempting me!" Zhao Yuande was a smart person. He instantly understood the meaning behind the other party's smile.
"Hehe! Brother Zhao has no greed in his heart and prioritizes honesty. Menggui admires you! "Yi Menggui smiled as she walked out of the cave. She had already gotten the answer she needed.
"Thank you for clearing my doubts. We're pressed for time, so we're leaving now!" Zhao Yuande cupped his hands at the two.
"We'll send you off!" Yuan Qi and Golden Retriever followed out of the cave.
"Black Wind, we're leaving!" Zhao Yuande waved to Black Wind and the others. "I'll give you time to say goodbye!"
"Golden Retriever, why don't you come with us?" Black Wind looked at Golden Retriever reluctantly. They had just reunited and were about to part again.
"No, my children are all here. I can't leave!" Golden Retriever patted Black Wind's shoulder and said, "But one day, we'll meet again. I'll treat you to a drink then!"
"Good brother, if you have any difficulties, go find the people from Hope Sect. They'll get in touch with us soon!" Black Wind gritted his teeth and turned to leave. As he walked, he waved with all his might. "I hope we won't have to be separated the next time we meet!"
"Brother, take care! If you need anything, you can come back anytime! "The golden-haired man's eyes were a little blurry as he watched Heifeng and the others disappear into the forest.
With Yuan Qi as the leader of the forest, Zhao Yuande's group had a very smooth journey. A day later, they walked out of the vast pine forest.
When they walked out of the pine forest, the scenery in front of them stunned them.
This was a small village. At the entrance of the village, there was an old tree that had grown for who knows how many years. It was like a big umbrella that almost covered the entire sky, shielding this small village from the wind and snow.
Several old men leaned against the tree with half-closed eyes, as if they were listening to the whispers of the tree. Several naughty children were running and frolicking in front of them.
"This looks like a normal village. It's quiet, peaceful, and filled with joy!" Yi Jie looked at the old man and the child under the old tree.
"No, this old tree has lived for who knows how many years. It's chanting sutras and transmitting a kind of voice. These old men are cultivating, and these children are constantly being cleansed by the mysterious power from the tree. They're also cultivating!" Zhao Yuande's eyes were like torches, and he saw the truth of the matter at a glance.
"These people, this tree, I'm a little familiar!" Yi Menggui's voice was a little perplexed. He'd clearly never been here before, so why did he feel a sense of familiarity?
"Let's go take a look!" Zhao Yuande felt that ever since Yi Menggui came to the peak of the mountains, his condition had been off. There was a strange, illusory feeling to it.
"Who are you people? Why did you come here? "They had just approached the village when someone blocked their path.
It was a group of youths. They jumped down from the tall treetops and constantly scrutinized them.
These youths were a little shorter than ordinary people, but they were especially sturdy. Although this place was covered in ice and snow and the temperature was very low, they were all bare-chested.
"Big Brother, we're just passing by. We want to climb to the peak of the mountains." Zhao Yuande was very polite.
"You? Want to climb to the peak of the mountains? Your cultivation is too low. I advise you to go down the mountain! " Among them was a youth with a full beard. His eyes were the size of copper bells and he looked very mighty.
"Then how high must your cultivation be to climb the mountain?" Zhao Yuande asked.
"At least the cultivation of a god emperor! This is the lowest requirement! "The bearded youth scratched his head.
"Alright! Shi Lei, you guys go down first! " At this moment, an old man leaning against an ancient tree stood up and waved his hand at these youths.
"Yes, Ninth Elder!" The bearded youth, Shi Lei, seemed to be very afraid of this old man. Seeing the old man speak, his face stiffened, and he hurriedly brought his companions back to the village.
The old man looked at Zhao Yuande, a strange light swirling in his eyes, as if he'd already seen through him. "Little Friend, Shi Lei is being impetuous. Don't mind him."
"I wonder if Elder can point us in the right direction!" Zhao Yuande knew this old man wasn't simple. Standing in front of this old man, he had a sense of horror that lingered in his heart.
Moreover, he sensed the cultivation of these old men. Each of them was above this Ninth Elder's, which shocked him even more. A mere village actually had so many god emperors. This was heaven-defying.
"You want … her …" The old man's eyes suddenly widened. Because he saw Yi Menggui behind Zhao Yuande. Seeing this appearance, the old man was speechless.
"Senior, what's wrong with me?" Before Yi Menggui returned to this village, she'd had a strange feeling, as if she'd seen this tree before. The ancestor's remains in her storage space also had a restless feeling.
"You … you … seem …" The more the old man spoke, the more agitated he became. The more he spoke, the more incoherent he became. In the end, tears streamed down his face. He actually knelt on the ground with a plop and bowed to Yi Menggui. "Holy Maiden, you've finally returned!"
"Holy Maiden? I … "Yi Menggui herself was a bit confused. How could she be some Holy Maiden?
"What's wrong? Old Ninth, what's wrong with you? " When the other old men saw what was happening, their expressions changed drastically. They rushed over to ask what had happened.
"Look at her …" Ninth Elder pointed at Yi Menggui. "Her appearance is exactly the same as the Holy Maiden's. Even her charm is so similar. She must be the Holy Maiden we've been waiting for for thousands of years!"
"Exactly the same, indeed!" When the old men saw Yi Menggui's appearance, they were all stunned. However, they weren't as impulsive as Ninth Elder.
"What's the lady's name? How old are you this year? What are you doing here? "asked the shortest and fattest old man.
"My name is Yi Menggui. I'm seventeen years old this year. I came from the Devil Desolate Region to search for my ancestors and roots!" Yi Menggui could already confirm that this village had a deep connection to her.
"As expected … as expected … haha! The heavens have eyes. The Holy Maiden has finally returned! " The short and fat old man laughed excitedly, but in the next moment, he knelt on the ground with a plop and bowed to Yi Menggui.
"Hey! What are you old things waiting for? The Holy Maiden has returned. Hurry up and kneel! "The short and fat old man saw that the old men around him were still in a daze and hastily shouted.
"Greetings to the Holy Maiden!" All the old men knelt on the ground.
"This …" Although Yi Menggui had thought of some things, she hadn't anticipated this situation. She immediately became flustered. In the end, she cast her gaze toward Zhao Yuande.
"Alright, Seniors, we still haven't figured things out. Why don't we enter the village first!" Zhao Yuande helped the short and fat old man up.
"Right! Everyone, hurry back and inform the old ancestors to prepare for the ancestral worship ceremony. The return of the Holy Maiden is our long-cherished wish for thousands of years! " The short and fat old man directed the other old men to return. He respectfully walked in front of Yi Menggui. "Holy Maiden, please follow me back to the village. You will know everything once we return!"
Yi Menggui nodded and entered the village with Zhao Yuande and the others.
