Holding a Bow Across the Great Wilderness
Night fell quietly.
From the distant mountains, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard from time to time.
The Small Mountain Village was completely silent.
Uncle Zhang, who had been plowing the fields all day, drove his Big Black Ox and Old Yellow Ox home; Aunt Wang brought in the dried laundry; the mischievous children, covered in mud, returned home...
Even though the world has changed, it seems as if nothing has changed for the villagers who almost never leave their Small Mountain Village.
In the Small Courtyard, Li Fan and a group of disciples finished their dinner. They sat in the courtyard, enjoying the cool evening breeze and chatting about everyday things.
As night deepened, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Li Fan prepared a room for Yunxi.
The Small Courtyard was completely quiet.
Nothing more was said that night.
The next morning.
Sunlight streamed into the room, Li Fan woke up from his sleep. He felt the soft Little White kitten next to his thigh, reached out and petted it before getting up.
After leaving the room, Su Baiqian and the other female disciples, as usual, helped Li Fan wash up.
Li Fan getting more and more used to it. He felt that his disciples' damn thoughtfulness was making him more and more decadent and lazy.
Today's breakfast: soy milk, fried dough sticks, and eggs.
Yunxi happily enjoyed the simple and unpretentious living conditions in the Small Courtyard every day, and no longer made a fuss about it.
But as she ate breakfast, she was somewhat worried.
Ever since she returned to the Yang Realm, she has been very worried.
They were afraid of being found by their Lineage.
At the same time, she felt homesick and wondered how her grandfather was doing. He must be worried sick... Sigh, it's all that guy from the Zhan family in the Great Ruin Realm's fault for insisting on marrying her.
I was forced to leave my hometown for several years!
"Hmm... maybe I should contact Grandpa..."
She muttered to herself.
--In fact, the most important thing that enabled her to escape from the Yun family three years ago was... her grandfather Yun Qianshan, helped her!
She and her grandfather even had a special communication crystal, but later she ran away into the Great Wilderness and hid the crystal, fearing that her Lineage would track it down and find her.
Later, she accidentally entered the Yin Realm, and even if she wanted to return to the Yang Realm, it would be extremely difficult.
It's been three years... I'm afraid their family must be worried sick...
The thought of her grandfather and father possibly being heartbroken filled her with immense sorrow.
In any case, it's been three years. That guy from the Zhan family should have married someone else by now...
Now... we should go get it and contact Grandpa!
"Sister, what's wrong? Isn't Master's soy milk good?"
Ziling, being observant, noticed Yunxi's unusual behavior and immediately asked her what was wrong.
Yunxi said, "No, I... I might have to leave for a few days."
As she spoke, she raised her head, looking at Li Fan somewhat timidly, and said:
"Um, Li Fan, I... can I leave for a few days?"
Li Fan asked, "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Yunxi immediately became a little nervous and said:
"I've been away from home for a long time, and I wanted to send a message home... Don't worry, I won't reveal anything about you, I promise I won't!"
"I will never leave you!"
I'm now the Great Devil King's Life Slave. If the Great Devil King thinks I'm trying to escape, I'm doomed.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan smiled.
This is no big deal!
A young girl like you, having been away from home for so long, should let your family know you're safe.
"Okay, go ahead, but be careful."
Li Fan spoke.
Upon hearing this, Yunxi was immediately delighted. She quickly finished her breakfast and said:
"Big... Li Fan, I'm leaving!"
"I'll be back soon!"
Li Fan nodded, and she left immediately.
Soon, everyone finished breakfast.
"Yuqing, bring me your bow."
Li Fan spoke up, saying, "I'll take you out for a walk."
Now that I'm in a new environment, I need to go out and familiarize myself with things.
Especially since we're unfamiliar with the area, what if there are wild beasts or something in the mountains?
If we don't scout ahead, it would be terrible if the village were attacked by wild beasts!
Bring a bow and arrows, so you can defend yourself!
He immediately left with a group of disciples.
And at this moment.
After leaving the Small Mountain Village, Yunxi immediately began to practice her Cultivation Method.
She suddenly sensed a faint connection.
"Oh yeah! The communication crystal I left behind is still there!"
She spoke up happily.
Previously, I was genuinely worried that my Lineage would find me.
She immediately left in a certain direction.
Before long, Li Fan led a group of disciples out of the Small Mountain Village.
The desolate mountains reveal their vast and desolate landscape.
The mountains stretched out before us, and occasionally, a loud roar of a beast could be heard from the forest.
Li Fan led them into the mountains.
As they passed through a certain mountain forest.
"Aww!"
In the mountains and forests, it seems as if a fierce tiger is roaring!
Nan Feng, Ziling, and the others all changed their expressions!
They all felt a terrifying pressure.
A terrifying beast in the Yang Realm... its aura actually faintly surpasses that of a saint!
Oh no, are there tigers in these mountains?
Li Fan was also a little nervous and instinctively gripped the bow!
No worries, I'm a Qi Refining First Layer, and I've even shot and killed a brown bear!
He couldn't help but comfort himself!
The instant he grasped the longbow!
In the mountains and forests, a powerful white-browed, fierce-eyed tiger that had been lurking suddenly felt an immense sense of terror!
Then, the tiger, as fierce as a mountain, took off running!
It was as if I had seen a ghost.
As the tiger fled, it stirred up a strong wind!
Nan Feng and the others felt the strong wind and even vaguely saw the tiger's shadow fleeing in panic!
"This... such a powerful tiger... was it scared away by Master??"
Everyone was surprised!
"Master's bow... it's unimaginable!"
Dugu Yuqing's expression was complex!
Li Fan's palms were also sweating profusely at this moment!
Damn, I'm so nervous!
Fortunately, it seems there's no danger around.
He nodded and said:
Let's keep going.
The group immediately continued on their way.
Before long, they faintly heard the howls of wolves and the cries of eagles.
However, just like the tiger before them, those powerful creatures... all fled!
Finally, Li Fan led a group of disciples to the top of a mountain.
"This mountain forest is so pristine, there should be plenty of wild animals here... how come it's so safe?"
Li Fan was somewhat puzzled.
Upon hearing this, the disciples were all speechless.
They really wanted to say, "Master, please put the bow down!"
"Alright, it seems there's nothing around. Let's all explore the area."
Li Fan spoke, setting the bow aside, and said:
"Ziling, paint; Nan Feng, play music."
Since there's no danger, let's treat this as a field trip.
The female disciples stayed behind, while Dugu Yuqing and the others continued to explore the surrounding area.
Wu Dade, with his large black dog by his side, pointed in a certain direction, his eyes shining, and said:
"You damn dog, let's go, let's chase after that tiger before it gets too far, and I'll give you tiger bones to gnaw on tonight!"
And at this moment.
In a mountain forest.
"Should we really continue...?"
"Ahead lies the Gray Mist Mountain Range!"
The group of young people from Wood Spirit Village were all somewhat hesitant!
Even Mu Jing looked at Mu Wanqing and said:
"Wanqing, are you sure? It's too dangerous up ahead. Even if Grandpa Village Chief came... he wouldn't dare to go any further!"
Not to mention the eerie gray fog, they knew that there were several formidable overlord-level beasts ahead!
Howling Desolation Tiger, Sky-Pouncing Eagle, Bloodthirsty Demon Wolf... any one of them could sweep away an entire area!
If we encounter that... there's only one way out: death!
Mu Wanqing, however, said:
"I have a feeling... something truly extraordinary is about to be born ahead."
"Spiritual Qi... is really gathering in that direction!"
It's very obvious!
"Good!"
Mu Jing gritted his teeth and said:
"The outer area has already been searched. If we want to revive the Sacrificial Spirit... we have to go inwards!"
He led his men forward.
But at that moment, Mu Wanqing's expression suddenly changed, and she turned around and said:
"There are... there are enemies!"
She had barely finished speaking!
Behind them, a haughty young man led a group of people out!
"Hehe, as expected of the woman I've set my sights on, her intuition... is quite impressive!"
The arrogant young man looked at Mu Wanqing with burning desire!
"Huai An in Sophora Spirit Village?!"
Mu Jing's face immediately darkened. Holding his Iron Spear, he demanded, "What are you doing here?!"
"Of course we're here to kill you!"
Huai An was very direct, and sneered:
"Hand over Mu Wanqing, then you can all commit suicide!"
Anger flared in Mu Jing's eyes as he said:
"Does your Sophora Spirit Village want to start a major war?"
But Huai An sneered and said:
"A great war? With your dying Sacrificial Spirit, what makes you think you can fight us?"
"Ridiculous!"
Mu Jing and the others were all shocked... Sophora Spirit Village, did they know about the current situation of Wood Spirit Village?
They immediately realized that the other side had been waiting for them to leave the village!
"Wanqing, I'll hold them off, you go quickly!"
Mu Jing spoke in a low voice, and then suddenly moved his spear!
The power of the Self-Severing Realm erupted!
The young men from Wood Spirit Village beside him also attacked at the same time.
"How ridiculous!"
Huai An simply shook his head and said:
"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I'm leaving it to you."
Immediately, two adults stepped out from behind him.
Those were two burly men!
They suddenly attacked, their powerful spiritual energy, like a lake, pressing down!
Mu Jing and the others immediately coughed up blood, their faces turned pale, and they could no longer take a step forward!
These two burly men... are at the Great Sage Realm!
Among the people of Wood Spirit Village, the strongest Mu Jing, is only at the Saint King Realm, capable of defeating me.
They were no match for the other side at all!
"Mu Wanqing, from this day forward, you are my slave in Huai An, hahaha!"
Huai An laughed loudly, took a step towards Mu Wanqing, and grabbed her with his large hand!
Mu Wanqing's expression changed, but she couldn't escape at that moment, as he suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Come, let me taste your lips..."
Huai An.
But, right now.
"Aww!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted.
A terrifying aura swept across the land!
Everyone in the room couldn't help but kneel down on the spot!
"It's over, it's over... Howling Desolation Tiger?!"
The two Great Sages of Sophora Spirit Village looked terrified!
The Howling Desolation Tiger... that's a supreme ruler who has reached the Saint Dao Perfection and Peeking Path Realm!
Absolutely invincible!
Everyone had only one thought: It's over!
But a gust of wind swept by, and the terrifying tiger shadow paid no heed to them, fleeing for its life!
The crowd prostrated themselves on their knees, trembling.
They didn't see that behind the terrifying tiger shadow, there was also a large black dog vaguely chasing after it.
Finally, the Howling Desolation Tiger departed.
The area fell silent.
"Has the Howling Desolation Tiger gone mad...? It actually escaped from this area?"
Everyone looked up, filled with immense relief; their backs were completely soaked!
At that moment, a fat man suddenly emerged from the woods ahead.
Wu Dade strolled leisurely along the way, figuring that since he had already released the dogs, the little tiger wouldn't be able to escape!
I'll just wait until tonight to make tiger bone soup!
Emerging from the forest, he saw a group of people kneeling on the ground ahead.
What are you doing?
Wu Dade was puzzled. He didn't know these people, so why were they kneeling before him?
Upon hearing Wu Dade's words, everyone was startled and looked up abruptly!
A murderous intent flashed suddenly in Huai An's eyes!
