Zhang Chulan keenly noticed that Chen Jinkui, one of the Ten Elders, had changed his expression, becoming quite comical, with his eyes gradually shifting from confusion to astonishment and then to burning with desire.
" Master Xiao! Teach me!"
Chen Jinkui was a very honest man. Upon learning that Xiao Tian also knew Fenghou Qimen, he didn't even glance at Wang Ye. He quickly took small steps to stand in front of Xiao Tian. If he hadn't been beaten and burned, he would have almost grabbed Xiao Tian's hand and given him a gentlemanly kiss on the hand.
Xiao Tian felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes fixed on Wang Ye with a terrifying, dark light.
Wang Ye terrified by Xiao Tian's gaze. He chuckled and said to Chen Jinkui, " Chen Jinkui, I was just joking. I just wanted to verify something."
Chen Jinkui glanced at Wang Ye out of the corner of his eye and sneered, "No, you're not lying to me. The way Master Xiao and you look at each other suggests this isn't fake. Laozi 'm older than you all; I've seen more of the world than you've ever had."
"What a coincidence! I eat at least three meals a day, a hundred bowls of rice each time, and you're treating it like salt or candy?" Xiao Tian chuckled.
Chen Jinkui almost blurted out, "Are you a pig?! You can eat more than a pig! Don't fucking brag!"
Fortunately, Chen Jinkui recognized that the person who uttered those astonishing words was Master Xiao. He quickly put on a slightly obsequious smile and nodded, saying, "My appetite is indeed slightly inferior to Master Xiao's. But Master Xiao, do you think I have the aptitude for that skill?"
I think so.
Chen Jinkui's eyes revealed expectation and hope.
"I've looked you over carefully, and I can tell you're not cut Inner Landscape for this. If you don't want your disciples to kick you out of the house, where you're practically a vegetable, and then adopt your adorable granddaughter to have another grandfather, you'd better not even think about it."
Xiao Heavenly Eye were filled with danger, and the Heavenly Dao Emperor Flame was pulsating.
"Ding! Successfully scared Chen Jinkui, one of the Ten Elders! Achievement Points *6! Unlocking progress 49%!"
Suddenly, the previously dark sky was filled with thunder and howling winds.
"My god, it's about to pour! Brother Tian, we need to find somewhere to take shelter." Zhang Chulan couldn't help but look up, amazed at how quickly the weather had changed.
At this moment, Chen Jinkui felt a chill run down his spine, and he felt uncertain after being looked at by Xiao Tian.
"Alright, I'll think about it carefully." Chen Jinkui glanced at Wang Ye out of the corner of his eye.
He figured that since he couldn't approach Fenghou Qimen from Master Xiao's perspective, he could only return to his original approach.
" Master Xiao, I'll be waiting for your good news. I've booked a royal-class private room in Jinzhou, eagerly awaiting your arrival!"
Xiao Tian nodded, feeling a little disappointed; this guy had actually chickened out.
He desperately wanted Chen Jinkui to be tougher and fight him again.
Chen Jinkui disappeared, and Xiao Tian and Zhang Chulan then waited for the results of Xu Si's investigation.
The person inside the van was already dead; he had been accidentally injured by Chen Jinkui during his earlier attempt to stop the van.
It's a real shame that we couldn't find out their true identities.
" Wang Ye, how do you feel?" Xiao Tian asked, looking at Wang Ye.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ye assumed Xiao Tian was going to interrogate him, so he quickly scratched his head and laughed, "It won't happen again next time. This was an exception. Having one of the Ten Elders chasing after me really put a lot of pressure on me."
Xiao Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably, "That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking how you felt after you came back from the Inner Landscape. Did you hear what the people in the car were saying?"
"Well..." Wang Ye fell into deep thought, recalling the situation in the car earlier.
"There wasn't much noise along the way. I only heard the driver make a phone call, saying the target would be transported there immediately. It was a man's voice on the other end, and that was it."
"Alright, let's wait for the results. If there are no results, then we'll have to start with Biyou Village."
Wang Ye raised an eyebrow and stared at the direction of Biyou Village, where people were rapidly approaching; it was Xiao Zizai and a few others.
" Old Xiao, could it be Village Chief Ma?"
"It's highly likely that our so-called 'big brother' is not simple at all; in fact, he might just be a pawn." Xiao Tian chuckled.
"If it's a chess piece, then who could control someone who knows one of the Eight Impure Techniques, Divine Machine Hundred Refinements?" Zhang Chulan was alarmed; this was a very serious problem.
From Chen Duo's perspective, the higher-ups Nadutong Na Du Tong were subtly targeting Biyou Village. Zhang Chulan figured out the reason behind it all. If Ma Xianhong really had someone behind him, what kind of force would it be?
"They're all dead?"
Xiao Zizai arrived and checked the driver, whose lower body was hanging on the van window, and found that there were two other people left.
"What's going on?" Comrade Wang Zhenqiu wondered.
"It's nothing, let's go back to the village. Someone will handle the situation here," Xiao Deva Path.
Zhang Chulan nodded. The situation here could be handled by Brother Si's men later.
Xiao Tian and the others headed towards Biyou Village. During their journey, Xiao Tian sensed many subtle, watchful eyes and discovered that they belonged to the puppets of Biyou Village, Ruhua, who were being controlled by Ma Xianhong.
"Bite!"
Xiao Tian took out his phone; it was a text message.
" Little Xiao, it's time to get started with the Dragon Guard's work. Your member Guihua, will be joining you. Guihua will inform you of all the measures to be taken."
Xiao Tian was secretly pleased. Although it was an anonymous text message, the rhythm and style of the writing clearly identified it as that fat man, Director Zhao Fangrui.
"The authorities have been eyeing Biyou Village Biyou Village for a long time. If the Self-Cultivation Furnace were to fall into their hands, well, that would be interesting."
However, Xiao Tian would not allow the Self-Cultivation Furnace to be controlled by the government, nor would he allow Ma Xianhong to control it for too long. This era does not need such a source of chaos that could disrupt the world's order.
Upon returning to Biyou Village, at the Biyou Village, some villagers, seeing Xiao Tian and his group return, eagerly greeted them. Some of them also quickly went to report to the village chief, Ma Xianhong.
However, Ma Xianhong came out quickly, which clearly confirmed what Xiao Tian knew: those puppets, Ruhua, belonged to Ma Xianhong.
"Second brother, third brother, Chulan, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I just need to have a good meal to replenish my energy." Xiao Tian Xiao.
Ma Xianhong laughed and said, "That's good. I'll take care of the tonics."
There's no rush to ask about Ma Xianhong; after all, Xiao Tian is genuinely hungry and urgently needs supplies.
The lavish Tujia feast was a delightful experience.
"Brother Xiao Zhan, something's happened outside the village. A beautiful woman from the city is looking for you."
Fu Rong, the village beauty who came to deliver the news, stared at Xiao Tian with a slightly strange look in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian knew that his beauty target Guihua, had arrived.
"You didn't hurt her, did you?"
Fu Rong shook her head and said, "This beauty is quite capable. The villagers tried to persuade her to back down, but to no avail. They were almost injured by her. Only when she mentioned that she was looking for you did our group give up the fight."
Xiao Tian was speechless. If the people of Biyou Village really attacked, with Guihua's level of skill, she would be defeated very quickly.
After all, there's always someone with Upper Root Vessel the village entrance.
The Upper Root Vessel" are powerful Evolver transformed by Ma Xianhong using the Self-Cultivation Furnace. They possess terrifying talent and extraordinary abilities, and there are a total of twelve Upper Root Vessel in the village.
Ma Xianhong had previously stated that the entire Biyou Village was a New Jiejiao, which made Xiao Tian feel that Ma Xianhong simply wanted to become the Sect Leader Tongtian.
Xiao Tian followed Fu Rong out of the courtyard and headed towards the village entrance.
Zhang Chulan and the others followed to check on the situation.
At the village entrance, a woman wearing a loose black coat over a white shirt and fitted black trousers stood out. She had delicate and beautiful features, and her black cascading hair, like starlight, fell Qimen Array her shoulders. She wore cool, flat sandals and looked wary.
"Big brother."
When Guihua saw Xiao Tian appear, her eyes lit up with surprise.
Guihua had been instructed by Zhao Fangrui not to call Xiao Tian by his given name, for fear that Xiao Tian might change his name or go into hiding.
Xiao Tian was a little disappointed. Although Guihua's outfit was great, he couldn't help but recall the first time he saw Guihua in her uniform and black stockings, which was incredibly sophisticated.
However, considering that Guihua had come all this way, her previous attire was clearly unsuitable and inconvenient for combat.
"Ahem, guys, this girl is mine. Are you all alright?"
" Brother Xiao, our people are fine. This girl must have used some kind of Wuhou Qimen technique. I never imagined you had a girlfriend like this, Brother Xiao." Fu Rong was surprised, but she was clearly overthinking it.
girlfriend?
Upon hearing these three words, Guihua walked towards Xiao Tian Xiao Tian keeping her beautiful eyes fixed on him, trying to discern any change in his expression.
"Ugh, I'm a total scumbag, I can't possibly ruin a girl like that. Little Rongrong, you're overthinking it."
Fu Rong thought of her previous romantic relationships before coming to Biyou Village, and couldn't help but laugh at Xiao Tian's words.
"A scumbag won't admit he's a scumbag, Brother Xiao, you're really something."
"Fine, nobody believes the truth these days. Okay, then I'll be an honest person."
As Xiao Tian spoke, he looked at the approaching Guihua, smiled, and opened his arms to hug Guihua.
" Little Sister Pig, you've come all this way, I'm sorry to have troubled you. Come on, follow me inside and we'll have a good time."
" Little Sister Pig?" Guihua almost couldn't help but retort; she wasn't a pig, she had a great figure.
However, she quickly realized that her code name, Guihua, couldn't be revealed to the outside world, lest the people of Biyou Village find out something, so she could only chuckle.
"Wow, Sister Bao'er, I think our wedding day is just around the corner," Zhang Chulan whispered to Feng Baobao.
Feng Baobao nodded, counting on her fingers as she silently listed the items she needed to prepare for the wedding.
Before long, Ma Xianhong and Guihua introduced themselves to each other in the courtyard.
"Brother Zhuge Qing, your Zhuge family has such a Gouketsu; I truly envy you."
Zhuge Qing was actually a little surprised to learn that Guihua was from his family. Although there were many young geniuses in his family, he had never seen one as outstanding as Guihua.
Zhuge Qing smiled and squinted, acting as Human Path for Ma Xianhong, saying, "If you're feeling lonely, Village Chief Ma, I could introduce you to a girl from our family."
"Haha, that won't be necessary. Matters of love and romance are too early for me right now. I have many other things to do."
At this moment, Xiao Tian Zhang Chulan exchanged a glance.
" Brother Ma, we should have a serious talk." Zhang Chulan stared at Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong's heart skipped a beat; he knew that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.
Ma Xianhong's facial expression control skills were very high; he nodded naturally and said, " Chulan, what do you think, should we go somewhere else?"
"There's no need to change locations. I learned from Wang Ye that you sent Wang Ye to Biyou Village to protect the successors of our Eight Impure Techniques. So let me ask you, have you protected Wang Ye well?" Zhang Chulan's eyes were sharp, and his words struck straight to the heart.
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
