mountain village.
Li Fan walked to the village entrance with Ziling and Nan Feng.
Upon reaching the village entrance, Li Fan looked towards the mountains and was stunned.
Nan Feng and Ziling were completely dumbfounded by the scene before them.
As far as the eye could see, countless mountain ranges had collapsed, and the earth was cracked, as if it had suffered a terrifying disaster!
The mountain forests had fallen, and rubble was everywhere. Faintly, a smell of blood wafted over, making it clear that this was a great catastrophe, and countless beings within it had perished.
"Heavens, what on earth happened? Did the gods descend with heavenly punishment? Otherwise, how could there be such power..."
Nan Feng murmured.
"It's too terrifying. Fortunately, fortunately, we were in the mountain village. Otherwise, at the moment the disaster struck, we might have all died!"
Ziling's large eyes were filled with lingering fear.
At this moment, they suddenly understood why they had met Li Fan that day, and why Li Fan had brought them back here.
He had perfectly predicted that this disaster was about to occur and had saved their lives.
"Sister, with such a huge disaster, why didn't we sense anything at all last night..."
At the same time, Ziling was also full of confusion.
Nan Feng, however, looked at Li Fan with a complex expression and said, "With Teacher here, even natural disasters dare not approach his location!"
"Didn't you notice? For thousands of miles around, only this mountain village remains as it was, as if nothing had happened. The villagers slept soundly all night, completely unaware of what was happening outside."
"Teacher simply living here... is enough to prevent natural disasters from encroaching!"
Upon hearing this, Ziling's small mouth also dropped open.
Their gazes towards Li Fan were filled with admiration!
This was an unparalleled master, calm and composed, needing to do nothing, yet all calamities could not come near him.
"One can imagine that last night, these exotic beasts must have sensed that this was the only sanctuary and wanted to break in for refuge."
"However, without Senior Li's permission, these ferocious beasts, which would make even a Supreme Being tremble, could not step into the village, and were killed."
Nan Feng looked at the piles of various animal corpses hundreds of meters away from the village!
Exotic beasts were piled up like mountains, a sight that shook the heart.
There was a land turtle as large as a house, its shell extremely hard, with various patterns on its back.
There were giant blue birds with wings wide enough to hold dozens of people, each feather like an iron fan.
There were also several four-legged giant beasts as large as elephants, their hides as thick as a wall...
All sorts of spirit beasts they had never seen before were now dead around them.
It was as if, driven by some terrifying existence, they had rushed towards the mountain village, but died outside its borders.
"These beasts are truly rare, they must be delicious."
"Delicious my foot, this meat can't even be cut by a knife, I doubt it can be cooked?"
"We broke several of our steel knives. Fortunately, Little Li forged a few cleavers for us, they're really good!"
The villagers were surrounding the ferocious beasts, cutting them up.
For the villagers, hunting was a way to obtain sustenance. Now, with so many beast corpses dead here due to the earthquake, it was truly a gift from heaven.
Even those that seemed inedible could be cut and stored.
"Come on everyone, cut out all this good meat and dry it into cured meat, it'll be enough for us to eat until next year!"
Someone shouted loudly.
"This is too... too barbaric. Mammoth Beasts, Great Azure Pengs, Three Yuan Turtles... these are all Sub-Supreme level spirit beasts! And now, they're going to be cut up and dried into cured meat?"
Hearing the shouts, Ziling could hardly believe it!
Any one of these great ferocious beasts, if they appeared in the outside world, could cause bloodshed. Unless a Supreme Being intervened, they were invincible.
But now, they were becoming food for a group of mountain folk? Who would believe this...
"All of this is because of Teacher!"
Nan Feng said solemnly.
Both of them looked deeply at Li Fan's retreating figure.
However, Li Fan was currently troubled.
Damn it... why did an earthquake happen.
Fortunately, fortunately, the mountain village where he was located had avoided the disaster!
Thank heaven.
But, looking at the situation, if there was another aftershock or something, the place where he was might not escape unscathed.
He would have to move to be a bit safer...
But, Mother, living here was a System task back then.
This is a rip-off.
"Little Li, you're well-traveled, what do you think is going on? Is our village going to be in trouble?"
An elder in the village asked Li Fan.
Seeing the scene outside, the villagers were naturally a bit fearful.
Li Fan thought for a moment and immediately shook his head, saying, "Everyone, don't worry, this place is safe."
Since the System told him to live here, it wouldn't let him die here, right? Otherwise, what would be the point?
So Li Fan believed there was no problem here.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a small sigh of relief. Li Fan had considerable prestige among them.
"Teacher is indeed calm!"
Nan Feng and the other were even more impressed.
Just then.
In the sky, a huge flying ship suddenly approached rapidly!
"According to the soul-guiding lamps, Nan Feng and Ziling are nearby!"
On the flying ship, Ao Ming and Zhu Xin looked at the two flickering lamps and said excitedly.
Behind them followed several elders with terrifying auras.
"Nan Feng, Ziling, come out and die!"
They immediately roared down below!
At the same time, the flying ship rapidly descended.
Ao Ming's roar reached the small mountain village below.
Countless villagers were shocked to see a flying ship landing.
"A flying ship?"
"Is that a cultivator? Heavens, we can't afford to offend them!"
"It's over, why would a cultivator come here?"
The villagers were in a panic.
Ziling and Nan Feng's expressions changed.
"It's Ao Ming and them!"
Nan Feng said in a low voice.
"What's going on?" Li Fan also asked Nan Feng.
Nan Feng immediately said, "Reporting to Teacher, we were originally from the Three Absolutes Holy Land. Our teacher who taught us Guqin and painting passed away not long ago and instructed us to search for opportunities in this area. However, there have always been people targeting us within the sect..."
"They're here, likely with ill intentions..."
Li Fan was a bit confused and asked, "Three Absolutes Holy Land? What is that?"
Nan Feng was a little taken aback. Senior Li didn't know about the Three Absolutes Holy Land?
However, she immediately realized that there could only be one reason why Senior Li didn't know about the Three Absolutes Holy Land!
That was that Senior Li had been out of touch with worldly affairs for many years, so he simply didn't know that a Three Absolutes Holy Land had appeared in the world.
After all, even though the Three Absolutes Holy Land was renowned in the Profound Heaven Realm, to Senior Li, it was nothing more than ants...
She immediately said cautiously, "The founder of our Sacred Land was outstanding in the three arts of music, painting, and calligraphy, so he established the Sacred Land. Those in the Sacred Land cultivate these three arts..."
She absolutely dared not utter the words "Three Absolutes Immortal," because, in the presence of this senior, who would dare to claim the title of "Absolute"? What was an "Immortal" anyway?
Li Fan heard this and instantly understood.
So it was just a sect composed of artistic youths!
They even called it a "Sacred Land" to make it sound so grand. It was basically the same as the music appreciation society and calligraphy society in Li Fan's courtyard in his past life...
Since it was just such an organization, Li Fan was relieved.
These kinds of enthusiast organizations were usually easy to deal with. Anyway, Li Fan believed that few people's musical talent, calligraphy, or painting skills could surpass his!
At worst, they could have a competition, and he could make the other party admit defeat.
Thus, he stepped forward, ready to communicate with these people.
However, as soon as he stepped forward, before he could even speak, Ao Ming, Zhu Xin, and the other experts on the flying ship were all stunned and shocked by the scene before them.
"What, what are those? Are they Three Yuan Turtles, Mammoth Beasts, Great Azure Pengs...?"
Ao Ming was shocked as soon as he landed.
"No, the entire Cangli Mountain Range has collapsed. Why is this place completely undisturbed?"
Zhu Xin was full of confusion.
Behind them, a white-haired old man watched a peasant woman in front of him in shock!
The peasant woman was chopping at the shell of the Three Yuan Turtle with a kitchen knife!
The turtle shell was cleanly sliced off!
Hiss!
The old man gasped, drawing in a breath of cold air. Even from this distance, he could clearly feel the terrifying aura contained within that knife!
The shell of the Three Yuan Turtle, which even a Supreme Being couldn't break, was like tofu under that knife?
What kind of existence was this?
"Quick, quick, go, go... there's great terror here, great terror here!"
The old man shouted, flustered and panicked, hastily maneuvering his ship!
Instantly, the Imperial Sky Ship ascended, soaring directly into the sky and vanishing like a streak of light.
Li Fan, who had been approaching, ready to speak, was suddenly bewildered.
Why did they run?
