The Sword King and the Way to Leave the Land of Exile

"Wait here, I'll be right back."

Liu Yi's figure flickered and disappeared from his original spot, appearing in front of a ferocious beast at the Mahayana Realm in the next moment.

He made a fist and punched the ferocious beast in the head, killing it instantly.

He casually picked up the beast's corpse, returned to Qin Yuran and the other two, and threw it on the ground.

"This ferocious beast is a gift to you as payment for the information you provided."

Fan Jing stared at the ferocious beast before him, which, though dead, still exuded a powerful aura. He was first taken aback, then quickly waved his hand.

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Liu! We absolutely cannot take this ferocious beast."

"You just saved our lives, senior. We're merely telling you some common knowledge in the Land of Exile; we truly cannot accept such a gesture."

"Yes, we can't accept it." Qin Yuran and Zhu Yunshu quickly followed suit, declining as well.

When Liu Yi saw the three of them refuse in unison, he recalled how they had worked together and overcome danger when they were besieged by the Nine-Headed Lion Devil Beast.

It is clear that these three people are upright and domineering, not two-faced individuals.

He had just arrived in this Land of Exile and would later travel to Wu Village. With the help of these three men, he would be able to integrate into the local community more quickly.

Thinking of this, he smiled faintly and advised, "Just accept it. A ferocious beast at the Mahayana Realm is useless to me, but it will be of great benefit to you."

If you really want to thank me, you can tell me more about the situation in the Land of Exile.

Fan Jing and the other two exchanged a glance, then bowed in unison, saying, "Thank you so much for your generous gift, senior! We are deeply grateful!"

Seeing that the three had accepted the gifts, Liu Yi nodded slightly. "Let's go back to Wu Village now."

"Yes, senior!"

Fan Jing and the other two immediately stepped forward, joined forces to lift the ferocious beast, and ran off in the opposite direction.

Liu Yi, hovering in mid-air, was taken aback when he saw them carrying the ferocious beast like this. He quickly recovered and asked:

Why don't you store the ferocious beast in your storage Law Treasure?

Zhu Yunshu replied casually, "Cultivators in the Land of Exile cannot release their energy, making the refinement of Law Treasure and elixirs extremely difficult."

Storage Law Treasure are extremely rare; we simply can't afford them now.

"That's right, storage Law Treasure have always been possessed only by great figures or powerful individuals from outside the world," Qin Yuran echoed loudly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi suddenly realized that he had made the mistake of "Why don't they eat meat porridge?" by directly applying common sense from the outside world to the Land of Exile.

He was alarmed and knew he had to correct this ingrained perception as soon as possible, otherwise a mistake at a critical moment could very likely lead to disaster.

"I see."

He nodded slightly. "I'll keep this ferocious beast for you for now. I'll give it to you when we get back to Wu Village."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put the ferocious beast into his Storage Space.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Fan Jing and the other two stared at the ferocious beast that had vanished into thin air, their eyes filled with undisguised envy.

That's a storage Law Treasure; only true powerhouses can possess it in the Land of Exile.

Although this place is rich in Innate Spiritual Qi and abundant in rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures...

However, with energy unable to be released externally, even ordinary Law Treasure are extremely difficult to refine, let alone storage magical Law Treasure, which are extremely difficult to refine.

The three of them hadn't even reached the True Immortal Realm, so they had no chance of possessing this item;

Even if they were lucky enough to obtain it, they would never dare to use it lightly, otherwise it would be robbed as soon as they left the village.

Liu Yi then followed the three of them and flew towards Wu Village.

A thought flickered in his mind, and he suddenly asked, "Do you know how to leave this Land of Exile?"

Fan Jing urged Movement Method to speed away while respectfully replying:

"Senior Liu, the only way to leave this Land of Exile is to break through to the Immortal Lord Realm."

"By forcefully breaking through the world's blockade with unparalleled combat power, there was no other way."

"That's right. Nowadays, those powerful Immortal King are all working hard to cultivate, hoping to break through to the Immortal Lord Realm and escape the Land of Exile as soon as possible."

The last one to successfully depart was the peerless powerhouse from 100,000 years ago— the Sword King.

He cleaved the Heavenly Pillar Peak, formed from Chaos Divine Iron since the Land of Exile, in two with a single palm strike.

He forged a peerless and deadly sword, the "Heavenly Punishment Sword," from the peak's body, then ripped through the sky with a single strike and vanished into the void.

Qin Yuran spoke, her face was full of admiration and longing.

Zhu Yunshu nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with reverence. "The Sword King is an unparalleled powerhouse of our Human Race!"

Legend has it that he slaughtered so Devil Race that their bodies littered the ground and they were forced to retreat in disarray. If he hadn't left, the Devil Race would never have been able to recover.

Now they can rival us, and their behavior is extremely arrogant.

"Alas, if the Sword King were still alive, those demon bastards would have been wiped out long ago. How dare they be so arrogant?"

"That's exactly right."

Fan Jing's face showed worry. "Now the Devil Race are becoming increasingly unscrupulous, frequently launching attacks, and many villages have already been breached and destroyed by them."

As Liu Yi heard this, the image of the Sword King Land of Exile with a single sword strike and gracefully departing flashed through his mind, stirring his heart with emotion.

I wonder if I will ever have the chance to witness the prowess of this Sword King, or even to challenge him.

Now that he knew how to leave the Land of Exile, he had made up his mind:

With his combat strength, he only needs to break through to the Immortal King Realm to be confident that he can break through the void and leave, without having to wait until the Immortal Lord Realm.

Moreover, given his cultivation speed, he will soon become Immortal King, at which point leaving will not be difficult.

However, he did not intend to leave once he became a Immortal King.

He planned to stay in the Land of Exile, using the hundredfold increase in time flow to cultivate diligently, and incidentally transform the place into a dungeon to guide system hosts into training.

With the boost of a hundredfold increase in time flow, they can rapidly improve their strength and hone their combat capabilities through experience.

In this way, when the Azure Billows Realm faces a great calamity in the future, he will not have to fight alone.

The four of them then traveled at a fast pace, talking as they went. Devil Beast and ferocious creatures they encountered along the way were easily killed by Liu Yi with a single blow.

Time flies, and five days pass in the blink of an eye.

Liu Yi, Fan Jing, and the other two finally arrived at a village that resembled a city.

Looking at Wu Village before him, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Yi's eyes.

The village was surrounded by high walls, with crossbow-like defensive weapons mounted on the walls, giving it an imposing, formidable appearance, much like a city, rather than a village.

At the village entrance, twenty guards stood watch with knives, maintaining tight security.

Zhu Yunshu shouted excitedly, "Finally back! I almost died out there!"

Qin Yuran also showed a happy expression and stepped forward to Liu Yi, saying, "Senior Liu, this is our Wu Village."

The village has over 30,000 residents and a 3,000-strong guard team dedicated to defending against Devil Race attacks and protecting the village's safety.

Senior, let's head into the village now.

However, before that, we need to register the senior's information with the guard team.

"Good."

Liu Yi nodded and followed the three to the village entrance to guard it.

Qin Yuran bowed to Li Zhan first and said:

"Captain Li, this is Senior Liu Yi, who recently arrived in the Land of Exile from the outside world. He intends to join Wu Village, so please register him."

A hint of surprise flashed in Li Zhan's eyes as he looked Liu Yi up and down.

However, he discovered that even with his Mahayana Realm cultivation, he couldn't see through the other person's realm at all. He immediately realized that this person's cultivation was at least that of True Immortal.

He immediately composed himself, bowed deeply, and became extremely respectful.

"Greetings, Senior Liu! Welcome to Wu Village!"

Our Wu Village is the largest and strongest village in the surrounding area, and we will certainly live up to the expectations of our predecessors!
