"Of course I killed him." Xiao Tian lied without batting an eye when Tushan Honghong asked him.
"That's good. A creature from Outside the Circle? I wonder if there are any more like that. Tushan might be in trouble." Tushan Honghong frowned.
"Don't panic, Sister Hong! With my strongest Red Thread Immortal here, I'll kill every Black Fox that comes! No matter how many come, we'll take them all!" Xiao Tian waved his hand confidently, his heart filled with excitement. He imagined the Deva Path Protector Black Fox Empress successfully devouring those clones and the villainous Black Fox Empress's true form—that was simply wonderful.
"So, the Captain's going to stay here forever? To make wooden carvings for the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor and Princess, serving her until she's reincarnated." Dongfang Qinlan chuckled.
"No! Boss Xiao! Don't abandon me!" The Captain was playing with an art knife and carving wood not far away, quickly turned around and ran over.
"Wouldn't it be better if you stayed?" Xiao Tian grinned mischievously.
"Not good at all!"
The Captain, looking like he was about to cry, said, "Without Boss Xiao, I can never drink Sprite or Cola again. Those were my only solace in life!"
"You can come with us, but you'll have to leave the big guy and the princess a lot of wood carvings, or at least send them over regularly."
"Don't worry, Boss Xiao! The Lu Family's butler said my wood carving has great commercial value. We can just ship it cash on delivery, and he'll even make me extra money! As for the money he makes, it'll be your reward for making the Boss Xiao Martial Soul Drink!" the Captain said obsequiously.
"Wow, you're quite perceptive. Alright then."
Xiao Tian thought that the Captain might show some amazing abilities in the future.
He had studied the wooden carving of the Captain. It contained an inexplicable power. Through his Heavenly Dao Double Pupils, he could see that the wooden carving had a layer of electric current-like power similar to a magnetic field, but it was not harmful.
In fact, humans, as living beings, are themselves a small magnetic field.
Xiao Tian felt that to get rid of the Curse Yin Lightning, he needed to understand the power emanating from the wooden carving.
Half a day later, just as Xiao Tian and the others were about to leave Bai Shi Village, the Lu Family's steward arrived in a hurry.
"Gentlemen, something terrible has happened! You must leave Bai Shi Village immediately. Someone in the village reported to the Yiqi Dao League that our Lu Family hosted Demon Clan, and cultivators from the Yiqi Dao League are coming to attack. The deputy captain leading this team has connections with our Lu Family and knew about the situation in advance."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at Tushan Honghong.
" Sister Hong, the demon hunters are here."
"Then let's see who catches whom." Tushan Honghong's eyes were disdainful.
"Haha, Sister Hong, let's not bully the kids anymore, let's go." As soon Xiao Tian finished speaking, he noticed an abnormal fluctuation in the air of the village.
"Interesting, the demon-sealing restriction has been strengthened," Xiao Tian muttered.
Upon hearing this, Steward Lu's expression changed drastically. He explained, "Gentlemen, it seems that two families in the village have joined forces to activate the Spell-Sealing Restriction. As a result, even if Demon King or a cultivator of the Miaomei Demon King were to come here, they would be unable to use their magic."
"This was arranged by a mysterious and powerful figure who once stayed here. He liked the Star-Moon Fruit of our Bai Shi Village and didn't want our place to be destroyed. Because of this, the Yiqi Dao League has been very supportive of us, and our fruit and vegetable trade is thriving. Please come with me, and I will lead you through the secret passage to leave."
"No need. Since it's a secret passage, the two families in the village who activated the Spell-Sealing Restriction should know about it. Besides, it's just that the Demon King level can't use their power, so it has nothing to do with us." Xiao Tian chuckled.
