Fengning Village

Fengning Village is a quiet and peaceful village where the villagers are simple and honest, living a simple life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Because Fengning Village is close to Heaven Dou City, its economy is quite good. Although people can't be said to be extremely wealthy, every household can live and work in peace and contentment.

Surrounding the village are vast wheat fields. It is harvest season, and the villagers of Fengning Village should be busy with the harvest, but there is not a single villager to be seen in the wheat fields.

The entire village was shrouded in a deathly silence.

Qian Renxue, Jun Xuehan, and Ci Xue walked along the official road, their eyes calm as they looked at the wheat fields on both sides of the road.

"Xuehan, we've reached the vicinity of Fengning Village. Do you want to go back and take a look?" Qian Renxue asked softly, looking at the surrounding wheat fields.

"Why go back?" Jun Xuehan glanced in the direction of Fengning Village and asked calmly.

He did live in Fengning Village, but he was considered Ominous One there, and everyone avoided him. After leaving Fengning Village, he was reborn, bidding farewell to his former life.

"As far as I know, you were once called Ominous One, Heaven Forsaken One, and so on in Fengning Village. Don't you want to go back and prove yourself?" Qian Renxue turned to look at Jun Xuehan and asked curiously.

"What's the point? Even if I prove myself, what then? Let bygones be bygones." Jun Xuehan said calmly, her hands behind her back, her eyes filled with a pure, lifeless coldness.

"It really doesn't make any sense." Qian Renxue smiled indifferently and didn't continue the topic.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling Jun Xuehan's hair. Jun Xuehan sniffed the scent carried on the breeze, and suddenly stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowing slightly.

Jun Xuehan's senses were extremely sharp; he detected a very faint, almost imperceptible, smell of blood in the breeze.

"What's wrong, Xuehan?" Qian Renxue asked softly as she watched Jun Xuehan suddenly stop walking.

"Sister Xue'er, Elder Ci Xue, can you smell the faint scent of blood in the air?" Jun Xuehan glanced around, a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, both Qian Renxue and Ci Xue sniffed.

"Young Master, he's right. There is indeed a very faint, almost imperceptible smell of blood in the air." Ci Xue glanced around, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

"There's only one village around here, Fengning Village. If there's a smell of blood, then the source of the Elder Ci Xue can only be Fengning Village. Elder Ci Xue, why don't you go to Fengning Village and check the situation?" Qian Renxue thought for a moment and then said slowly.

"Yes, young master!" Ci Xue replied and headed towards Fengning Village.

Jun Xuehan scanned his surroundings, feeling as if he had overlooked something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Xuehan, don't worry about it. I've already sent Ci Xue to Fengning Village to check on the situation. We'll know the results soon. It's harvest season now, and judging from the wheat fields, Fengning Village is going to have a bumper harvest this year." Qian Renxue said casually, looking at Jun Xuehan in thought.

"It's harvest season!" Jun Xuehan suddenly looked up and looked at Qian Renxue, saying, "Something's not right. It's harvest season now, and the villagers should be busy with the harvest. Sister Xue'er, look at the wheat fields on both sides, but you can't see a single villager in sight."

Qian Renxue paused for a moment upon hearing Jun Xuehan's words, glancing at the wheat field. Indeed, there wasn't a single villager in sight.

You know, nothing is more important than the villagers being busy with the autumn harvest, especially since there isn't a single villager to be seen right now.

"There's a problem in Fengning Village!" Qian Renxue reacted almost instantly upon hearing Jun Xuehan's warning.

Jun Xuehan calculated the time it would take for Ci Xue to leave, and without any hesitation, she reached out and pulled Qian Renxue up, and ran towards Heaven Dou City.

Fengning Village is not far from here, only a ten-minute walk for ordinary people. However, Ci Xue is not an ordinary person, but a Titled Douluo. Five minutes is enough time for Ci Xue to make a round trip in Fengning Village.

Twenty minutes have passed since Ci Xue left, but he has not returned. Coupled with the pervasive smell of Ci Xue in the air and the absence of any villagers, it is clear that something is definitely wrong in Fengning Village, and it is a big problem.

After a brief moment of distraction, Qian Renxue realized this as well. According to Ci Xue's personality, no matter what happened in Fengning Village, he should have returned to report to her immediately. The fact that he hadn't returned for so long indicated that something must have happened in Fengning Village, and that he had been kept occupied.

The two had just run out of the wheat field and into the woods when they felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind. Qian Renxue and Jun Xuehan's expressions changed slightly, and they immediately released their Martial Soul.

The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul rose behind Qian Renxue. After the Martial Soul Possession, five Soul Rings, Yellow Purple Purple Black, appeared under her feet, and she exuded an aura of light, holiness, nobility, and purity.

The Silver Dragon Spear appeared in Jun Xuehan's hand, and four Soul Ring — Yellow Purple Purple Black— flashed beneath her feet. Without any hesitation, she swung the Silver Dragon Spear behind her.

Pale Golden Soul Power appeared in Qian Renxue's hand. She turned around and swung her palm to strike the incoming gust of wind.

Bang, bang.

Two impact sounds rang out, and Qian Renxue and Jun Xuehan were both forced to stagger backward a short distance.

Under the watchful eyes of Qian Renxue and Jun Xuehan, two black-robed figures, their faces obscured by their completely black robes, appeared before them.

Beneath the black-robed man's feet, He Ran's six Soul Ring— Yellow Purple Purple Black— shimmered.

"Evil Soul Masters!" Qian Renxue frowned slightly as she looked at the man in black robes, her expression turning somewhat gloomy.

"Shadow Devouring Leopard and Demon Crane, two Agility Assault System, both Evil Soul Masters at the Six-Ring Soul Emperor level." Jun Xuehan's eyes showed seriousness.

Evil Soul Masters are different from ordinary Soul Master. Generally speaking, before becoming Titled Douluo, Evil Soul Masters cultivate faster than ordinary Soul Master. Furthermore, Evil Soul Masters possess superhuman strength, and their abilities increase with their level.

In other words, under normal circumstances, Evil Soul Masters are stronger than Soul Master of the same level, and it is not impossible for them to fight against people of higher levels.
