Blood Rage Realm Cultivation Art!

After becoming Vice Captain, he would be able to obtain higher-level cultivation arts, and it would also be more convenient to hunt monstrous aberrations.

So Wei Fan had nothing to decline.

"By the way, Uncle Shi Meng, can a Vice Captain obtain a cultivation method for the Blood Rage Realm?" Wei Fan asked.

Since Lu Qingshan had reached the Blood Rage Realm, there had to be a corresponding cultivation art.

As long as he obtained the cultivation art, things would be easy to handle.

"No!" Shi Meng shook his head and said helplessly, "To obtain a Blood Rage Realm cultivation art, you must swear allegiance to the Zhu family!"

"The Zhu family controls cultivation arts above the Blood Rage Realm?" Wei Fan's expression darkened. "Then is Captain Lu also one of the Zhu family?"

"No. Captain Lu was cultivated by the Talisman Master, and his Blood Rage Realm cultivation art was also obtained from the Talisman Master."

As he spoke, a grave look appeared in Shi Meng's eyes. "The Talisman Master is also extremely mysterious and powerful."

Wei Fan listened silently, recalling the scene when he had first gone to collect talismans. He too felt that this mysterious Talisman Master was unfathomable.

I never expected Blood Rage Realm cultivation arts to be so difficult to acquire! Wei Fan thought to himself.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to swear allegiance to the Zhu family.

As for the Talisman Master, Wei Fan had no interest in approaching him either.

After being promoted to Vice Captain, he could still obtain some other cultivation arts. Wei Fan planned to first see what the situation was.

No monstrous aberration invasion occurred that night, and dawn arrived peacefully.

When they returned to the Night Watchers' base, only six Night Watchers remained in the eastern district. Every one of them looked numb, their eyes filled with fear and unease.

Many Night Watchers had seen last night's red Signal Flare. They had spent the entire night in anxiety and terror.

When they saw Shi Meng appear, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Wei Fan, who entered alongside Shi Meng, they automatically ignored him.

Some more observant Night Watchers also noticed that Zhang Zhi, who had been paired with Wei Fan, had not appeared.

For Night Watchers, if someone did not gather at the station every morning, there was an eight or nine chance out of ten that they had met with misfortune.

After realizing this, the way everyone looked at Wei Fan became a little more complicated.

More people saw him as a lucky fellow—he had encountered monstrous aberrations time and again, yet he had repeatedly survived.

"Everyone, pull yourselves together. I have something important to announce!" Shi Meng cleared his throat and said.

"From today onward, Wei Fan is the Vice Captain of the Night Watch Team!"

As soon as the words fell, the six Night Watchers froze for a moment.

Naturally, they did not think Shi Meng was joking with them. The only possibility was that Wei Fan had already reached the Divine Strength Realm.

As long as one brought the Three Yuan Battle Art to completion and broke through to the Divine Strength Realm, one could serve as the Vice Captain of the Night Watch Team.

This had always been Wushan Village's rule. Every Night Watcher knew it.

They still found it hard to believe that Wei Fan, who had joined the Night Watch Team only two days ago, now possessed Divine Strength Realm power.

Such cultivation talent was something they had never heard of, something they scarcely even dared imagine.

They had originally thought Wei Fan was a rookie newcomer, but in the blink of an eye, he had become their immediate superior. It left them in a daze.

"Congratulations, Vice Captain Wei!"

No one knew who took the lead in shouting first, but the remaining Night Watchers all clasped their fists and said in unison, "Congratulations, Vice Captain Wei."

After all, they might need to rely on Wei Fan for rescue in the future. The Night Watchers knew they had to build a good relationship with him first; perhaps it would give them one more thread of hope for survival later.

Afterward, everyone dispersed.

Wei Fan also strolled leisurely toward home. As for the miscellaneous matters regarding his promotion to Vice Captain, Shi Meng would handle them for him.

As he passed through the Outer Circle, Wei Fan saw a household surrounded by people. When they noticed the fitted Night Watch Team uniform on him, a villager ran over.

"Lord Night Watcher, another life was lost last night!" The male villager said anxiously.

"What happened? Speak slowly." Wei Fan grabbed his shoulder, and only then did the villager's trembling body calm down.

"The Wang family... all three members of the family are dead!" The villager swallowed and said.

"Hm?" Wei Fan frowned slightly and strode toward the gathered crowd.

When they saw Wei Fan arrive, the crowd made way for him.

The moment Wei Fan entered the yellow-mud thatched hut, he smelled a rotten stench.

Three cold corpses lay on the ground, two adults and one child. Their faces were twisted in agony, clearly having seen something terrifying before they died.

"Damn White Ghost Soul!" Wei Fan clenched his fists.

Last night, he had seen White Ghost Soul's shadow and originally intended to chase after it. But he had not expected it to move so quickly, escaping into the Inner Circle.

Otherwise, Wei Fan would definitely have killed it on the spot.

Yet he had not expected that damned thing to turn back and commit another crime.

"Don't let me catch you!" A chill surfaced in Wei Fan's eyes.

Afterward, under Wei Fan's direction, the villagers piled up firewood and placed the three corpses atop it.

Click!

Wei Fan used flint to light a torch, and orange-red flames slowly rose.

"May the dead rest in peace," Wei Fan silently recited, tossing the torch into the woodpile.

Boom~

The dry wood caught fire, and soon blazing flames surged skyward, cremating the three corpses.
