Xiaojia Village, Xiao Tianxiong's home, all the important villagers in the village are here.
Their eyes all fell on the young man carrying the giant sword on his back, and their eyes shone brightly.
Until now, everyone is still a little confused and feels a little unreal.
When Xiao Ye left, he was only at the fifth level of the Houtian Realm. When he returned, he became a warrior at the ninth level of the Houtian Realm. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would believe it.
You know, there are only three village chiefs in the entire Qingyang Town who have reached this level.
"You brat, when you come back, your father's heart is so excited that he can't bear it." Henry Zhang scolded with a smile, but the pride on his face was clearly visible.
His son has now completely surpassed him.
"Ye'er, tell the village chief, what's going on with your cultivation?" Xiao Tianxiong also said with a smile.
He was relieved to see that the young man in front of him had actually grown to the same level as him.
Xiao Ye pondered for a moment and told everything about what happened to him in Wucheng.
Of course, he did not reveal anything about Yan Dao and Gu Chuqiu of the Gu family.
The Flame Sword is a weapon belonging to the Xuanwu Realm strongman. If the news leaks out, it will definitely attract countless Xiantian Realm strongmen to take action, brewing a disaster.
As for Gu Chuqiu's matter, he didn't want to tell anyone and make everyone worry about him.
"Pulse Cleansing Pond, it turns out there is such a strange place." After listening to Xiao Ye's words, Xiao Tianxiong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
It turns out that Xiao Ye's current cultivation level is inseparable from the Vein Cleansing Pond.
"Ye'er, you have killed twenty blood wolf guards now. Soon, the blood wolves will know about it. You should leave quickly." Xiao Tianxiong suddenly said.
When he realized Xiao Ye's potential, he became even more unwilling to put the other party in danger.
"Yes, Xiao Ye must be sent away quickly, otherwise the blood wolf will come and kill him, which will cause trouble." Xiao Dashan and others in the room nodded.
Xiao Ye frowned and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, village chief, I won't leave."
He came back this time just to deal with the Blood Wolf Gang and then concentrate on preparing for the upcoming Chongyang Sect examination. Naturally, he would not leave.
"Don't leave?" Xiao Tianxiong shouted when he heard this, "Confused!"
"With your qualifications, it won't be long before you can break through to the innate realm. If you come back then, even the blood wolf won't be able to do anything to you."
"Today, I will kidnap you away!" Xiao Tianxiong said loudly.
Xiao Ye was helpless. He couldn't tell the village chief and others that he had understood the true meaning of martial arts from the flame sword, and he was certain to defeat the blood wolf, right?
Putting aside whether the village chief would believe it or not, he couldn't expose the matter about the Yan Dao.
Xiao Ye had no choice but to find other ways to convince everyone.
"Grandpa Village Chief, what will happen to Xiaojia Village when I leave?"
Xiao Tianxiong glared and said: "Don't worry, Old Man Wu and I join forces, the blood wolf can't do anything to us."
"But what if he suddenly reaches the innate realm?" Xiao Ye blinked and asked softly.
"this……"
The room became quiet, and everyone felt heavy.
Indeed, the Blood Wolf is now at the half-step innate realm, and the three village chiefs can join forces to compete with the Blood Wolf. Even with the strength of the Blood Wolf Gang, they will have to pay a high price if they want to destroy Qingyang Town.
So, there is a delicate balance between the two sides.
But if the blood wolf breaks through and truly becomes an innate warrior, this balance will be broken immediately, and Qingyang Town will face a disaster.
Seeing that Xiao Tianxiong was rendered speechless by his rhetorical question, he continued: "Grandpa, village chief, my cultivation level is not weak now, so I want to stay and help the village deal with the Blood Wolf Gang."
Xiao Tianxiong raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Xiao Yang came out.
"Village Chief, Ye'er is a little stubborn, why don't you let me persuade him. Tomorrow morning, I will definitely ask him to leave the town. It just so happens that his mother misses him very much and wants our family to get together." Xiao Yang said.
Xiao Tianxiong sighed and nodded: "Okay. In one day, the news of the death of the Blood Wolf Guard should not have reached the Blood Wolf, so I will give you one day."
"Tomorrow morning, this boy must leave the village." Xiao Tianxiong said in an unquestionable tone.
"Don't worry, village chief." After Xiao Yang said that, he led Xiao Ye away.
When he returned home, Luo Meilan came up to him with worry on his face.
She had been worried for a long time when she learned that Xiao Ye was going to face the twenty Blood Wolf Guards alone, but now she felt relieved when she saw Xiao Ye back.
The dinner that day was very sumptuous, and dishes that could only be put on the table during the New Year's Eve were served.
Xiao Ye's family of three sat around the dining table, and Luo Meilan kept picking up food for Xiao Ye.
When she learned that Xiao Ye would leave the town again tomorrow morning, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her tears kept flowing down like broken beads.
"Mom, I won't leave." Xiao Ye couldn't help but comfort Luo Meilan.
Snapped!
Hearing this, Henry Zhang slammed the table and shouted: "Bad boy, if you still recognize me as your father, get out of here tomorrow morning!"
Since Henry Zhang recovered, he has become the heir to the next village chief. Now he is angry and has a dignity of his own. Even Luo Meilan does not dare to say anything.
Xiao Ye opened his mouth, but closed it helplessly, and bowed his head obediently to eat the vegetables.
A dinner ended in a heavy atmosphere.
At night, Henry Zhang opened the door of Xiao Ye's room and walked in.
"Dad." Xiao Ye said.
Looking at Xiao Ye, Xiao Yang's expression softened, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He said slowly, "Ye'er, you were right during the day."
"When you come back next time, Qingyang Town may no longer exist."
Xiao Ye suddenly raised his head and stared at Henry Zhang.
"It won't be long before the blood wolf can break through to the innate realm. Only the three village chiefs and I know this news." Xiao Yang said with a sad voice.
boom!
Xiao Ye's body trembled as if struck by lightning.
No wonder the village chief and Henry Zhang were so impatient to let him leave Qingyang Town. It turned out that the real reason was this.
Today's dinner may also be the last reunion dinner for their family.
"So, you must leave. I hope you will not disappoint the good intentions of me and the village chief. If you are not sure of revenge, never come back." Henry Zhang stared deeply at his son.
"I, Xiao Yang, have a son like this in this life, what else can I ask for?" Xiao Yang had a smile on his face, then turned and left.
Looking at Henry Zhang's back, Xiao Ye's soul trembled, and a sense of panic spread throughout his body.
He thought he still had time.
He can even use the Houtian Pills he brought back to cultivate a Houtian realm team to fight against the Blood Wolf Guards. And the two Jade Spirit Pills can also improve the cultivation of the village chief and Henry Zhang.
But now, he has no time to implement these anymore.
If the Blood Wolf really breaks through to the innate realm, he will not be able to resist it, and Qingyang Town will become the dust of history, and all the villagers will die.
At this moment, the voices and faces of his parents, Xiao Tianxiong, Xiao Dashan and others appeared in Xiao Ye's mind.
"No!"
"I will never allow this to happen!"
Xiao Ye clenched his fists, and his eyes shone with a shocking light.
In an instant, he made his decision.
The night passed quickly, and when the sky was still dark, Xiao Ye suddenly opened his eyes, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
He quietly opened the door and walked out, taking advantage of the dim starlight, heading towards the east of the village.
The village was quiet at the moment. Only people at the head of the village were taking turns standing guard to prevent sneak attacks from the Blood Wolf Gang, while all the villagers in the village were sleeping soundly.
To the east of Xiaojia Village, there is a wasteland, several thousand meters wide, with tombstones standing there, looking a bit forbidding.
Xiaojiazhong!
This is the burial ground for villagers who died in the war for the village in the past dynasties of Xiaojiacun. Villagers who died of old age, illness or death are not qualified to be buried here.
Next to the cemetery, there was a simple wooden shed, with candle-like lights swaying, and accompanied by a suppressed cough, a rickety figure walked out of it, holding a light.
"Xiao Ba!" Through the flickering firelight, Xiao Ye saw a familiar face.
Today, Xiao Ba is much older. He is in the prime of his life, with gray hair already appearing on his temples. He looks like a waning old man who no longer has the strength of the past.
"Haha... Xiao Ye, you are back." Xiao Ba laughed.
"Yes, Uncle Ba." Xiao Ye nodded.
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Xiao Ba's expression froze, the light in his hand fell to the ground, and he asked with a trembling voice: "You...you call me Uncle Ba? You don't hate me?"
Xiao Ye sighed.
Seeing Xiao Ba now, he could no longer hate him.
"I don't hate it anymore." Xiao Ye shook his head.
Xiao Ba's face was mixed with shame and excitement. He kept bowing to Xiao Ye and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was stupid in the past and caused so many villagers to die tragically. I am willing to spend my whole life guarding their tombs."
, wash away your mistakes.”
"Okay, Uncle Ba." Xiao Ye stretched out his hand to stop him, "Bring me some mourning clothes. I want to guard their tombs."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba quickly took out a mourning dress from the wooden shed and handed it to Xiao Ye.
After changing into white mourning clothes, Xiao Ye knelt down facing the three hundred newly added tombstones.
"Uncles, I'm back." Xiao Ye whispered to himself, staring at the tombstones.
He could never forget that those villagers died tragically at the hands of the Blood Wolf Gang in order to protect him.
Those living lives have now turned into a handful of loess, sleeping here forever.
Time passed silently. When half an hour passed, Xiao Ye stood up, his eyes gleaming with light.
"I, Xiao Ye, once swore that I would use the blood of the blood wolf to pay homage to you, and I will definitely do it." After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he carried the flame knife on his back and left wearing white mourning clothes.
"Xiao Ye, where are you going?" Xiao Ba was shocked and asked quickly.
"Kill the blood wolf." These three words came out of Xiao Ye's mouth, making Xiao Ba freeze on the spot.
Whoosh!
Xiao Ye's body was like lightning, flying high over the wall of Xiaojia Village and heading towards Niujiao Mountain so fast that even the villagers who were keeping watch at the entrance of the village did not notice it.
"Blood Wolf, either you die today or I die!" Xiao Ye, wearing mourning clothes, climbed to Niujiao Mountain. (To be continued)
