Chapter 83 Leaving Xishan
The villagers of Xikou Village were either dead or injured.
"Cowherd, there really are immortals in this world, but they are demons, monsters!"
The farmer was trampled on the ground by the man in black, watching him burn down his home and kill his wife and children.
The man spared him, not out of kindness.
She deliberately let him watch, just to amuse him.
And he must harbor resentment, for only then can he be of the highest quality.
"No! No!"
The cowherd wept uncontrollably as he watched his wife being dragged into the house, about to be violated.
"Immortal, please, save me!"
"Misfortune and fortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself."
Lu Qingyun sighed; his sigh was for these poor villagers.
His words were not addressed to the cowherd, but to these demons.
"Who are you?"
When the demon saw Lu Qingyun descending on the clouds, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Only those at the late stage of Qi Refining can fly so easily through the air; he was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, so naturally he was afraid.
Lu Qingyun remained silent.
A sword light flashed out.
Like flowing water.
A wave of air rippled through the air.
In an instant, almost all of the dozen or so demons in Xikou were dead.
Only one low-level leader at the fourth level of Qi Refining remained, his body trembling, the roast chicken he had snatched trembling in his hand.
"Senior, spare me! Senior, spare me! I didn't do any of this. It was my subordinates. I had no choice but to take on this position in the Demonic Sect."
"Moreover, they have no life lamps in the sect, but I do. If you kill me, you will surely be investigated by my sect. As long as you spare me, I will definitely do good and never reveal your whereabouts."
The junior leader was very clever; he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
He didn't even have the slightest thought of resisting.
I don't dare to think about it, and I don't have the guts.
The person in front of me has clearly reached the pinnacle of Qi Refining.
His skill was on par with those of the demonic sect's deacons, and his swordsmanship was so exquisite that even he felt a chill run down his spine.
Lu Qingyun neither agreed nor refused.
They asked, "What is your current condition, Venerable Sir? Why have you come here?"
"There is no more Great Virtue, only Great Green and Great Cloud!"
The junior leader quickly answered.
"Several years ago, a great war broke out in Deyun Capital, which was so fierce that the sky darkened and the entire Deyun Mansion was destroyed. Niu Gao, the Ku Rong Daoist of Yunxia Sect, and Mu Shan, the Ruthless Saint Son of our sect, fought to a standstill..."
"The royal family of Dade was almost entirely wiped out in this battle. Niu Xiang of Dade supported a member of a collateral branch of the family and established the Da Yun Kingdom in the east of Dade. He continued to serve as the prime minister."
"Our sect, on the other hand, controlled the western border of Dade and established the Great Qing Kingdom."
The leader stole a glance at Lu Qingyun, guessing that the person in front of him must be a rogue cultivator who had been out of the public eye for a long time and leaned towards the righteous path.
"We didn't want to commit such atrocities, but the battle at Pingyang Pass was fierce, and a blood sacrifice was urgently needed to activate the formation. That's why we were sent to kill living beings everywhere to fulfill our duty."
Seeing Lu Qingyun's expressionless face, the underling quickly added:
"My lord, please don't be fooled by the fact that I was forced to kill so many people. It was all because of my nephew, who is a steward in the team. I originally only wanted to kill some monsters to complete my mission, but when I saw these mountain people, that fellow insisted on killing them, and I couldn't stop him..."
"Moreover, the Yunxia Sect is no better. Although they don't kill directly, they demand that the people of Yun Kingdom cooperate with the blood sacrifice in order to form a blood sacrifice array. They portray the blood sacrifice as a great thing, but in reality, it is coercion that has caused countless deaths."
Lu Qingyun nodded and asked him some more questions, asking him what other masters were there besides Niu Gao and Mu Shan in the righteous and demonic paths, but he knew very little about them.
"I understand, you can go now."
Lu Qingyun waved his hand, signaling the junior leader to leave.
The underling swallowed hard and quickly turned to leave.
"Immortal, we can't let him go! He's the one who led those people to kill my poor uncles and aunts."
The cowherd cried out, and his wife cried along with him.
Fortunately, Lu Qingyun reacted quickly and prevented his wife from being harmed.
The leader trembled; he dared not curse, dared not answer, and quickened his pace.
However, as he walked, his head fell to the ground.
He looked at his own body, choking back tears, and cried, "I...I'm innocent, you...you broke...you broke your promise..."
Lu Qingyun glanced at Xikou Village, which was almost reduced to ruins.
He said, "Let's go to the deep mountains. Although there are tigers and venomous snakes there, it's much better than the outside world. Don't gather together, and don't come back."
The surviving villagers of Xikou Village stood there, weeping and stunned.
He knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, immortal! Thank you, immortal!"
Lu Qingyun remained calm, urging the flying shuttle to head towards the Great Yun Kingdom.
The leader died here, and the Demonic Sect has already discovered it.
With the world in such chaos, hiding in the deep mountains is useless. It's better to go to a place where cultivators gather, exchange for some resources, and try to condense a few supernatural abilities.
As for the people of Xikou, he has done everything he could to be kind and righteous.
None of them possessed spiritual roots.
Taking them along is impossible.
Lu Qingyun is not a saint. In this chaotic world, it is already difficult enough to protect himself, let alone take more than ten people with him.
They went into the deep mountains; although life was hard, at least they had a way to survive.
Lu Qingyun left.
The cowherd was unwilling to give up. He was clever by nature and didn't ask the immortal if he was willing to take him in.
After collecting the bodies of the villagers, the cowherd searched the bodies of the local chieftain and the other villains and found a small booklet.
The booklet was originally blank, but upon seeing him, it automatically displayed understandable words.
The cowherd was illiterate, but he somehow managed to understand it.
Blood Fiend Technique
Though lacking spiritual roots, the Great Dao still exists; through three thousand blood refinements, one can forge the Great Dao...
The cowherd stared in disbelief, while the young wife and villagers, seeing him holding a blank sheet of paper in a daze, assumed he was possessed.
Blood refinement. Blood refinement.
These two words seemed to drill into the cowherd's mind. He dug out the hearts of those devils, put them in a sack, and carefully placed them inside.
The villagers are leaving; they are parting ways.
The cowherd instinctively asked where they were all going.
With the villagers' whereabouts in mind, the cowherd wanted to cry but didn't. He took his young wife and went to the deep forest to the east.
The cowherd is gone.
Several days later, a figure in black robes arrived here.
The figure in black robes was not a steward, but Mu Shan.
He was on his way to kill a late-stage Qi Refining expert when he discovered that some disciples had died there.
Mu Shan dug up several graves, and the corpses inside were intact, but their hearts were gone.
After climbing several mountains on Mushan Mountain, I found the mountainside empty, with only remnants of green corn growing inside.
The green corn has almost wilted because no one is taking care of it.
Mu Shan raised an eyebrow.
These green corn ears look familiar.
The people who can grow green corn in such a place seem familiar.
……
Lu Qingyun had no idea that the cowherd had left, nor did he know that the cowherd had come.
He put away the flying shuttle and looked at the city before him.
There were many cultivators in the city, and everyone seemed to have something on their mind.
Three large characters are engraved on a jade plaque.
Yunxia City, that's a nice name.
