“This Puppet is too fragile, isn’t it?”
Li Ping'an was incredibly surprised and deeply disappointed.
He didn’t hesitate, riding Heihei, calling out to Niu Niu, and Big Huang, they rushed to Spirit Field No. 4.
Upon arriving there,
Wang Fa, with four others, had already destroyed the two acres of Spirit Field, leaving it in utter disarray.
It was truly infuriating, simply courting death!
They had come with a total of seven people, which meant two had run back to deliver a message.
Li Ping'an patted the dog's head and said, “Heihei, you go after them towards Wang Family Village. Two people ran away; they must all be eliminated without a trace!”
“Understood.” Heihei nodded and disappeared into the night.
Li Ping'an, with Niu Niu and Big Huang, walked towards Wang Fa and his group. “Everyone, what’s the meaning of you coming to destroy my family’s Spirit Field in the middle of the night?”
As Li Ping'an spoke,
Wang Fa turned his head to look, and after not sensing any Spirit Qi fluctuations, a hint of suspicion appeared on his Face. “Is this your Spirit Field?”
“Yes.” Li Ping'an nodded. “Pay up. Ten thousand Spirit Stones per acre, two acres total, so twenty thousand Spirit Stones.”
“Heh, heh heh.” Wang Fa sneered, “Young Master, I think you’re sleepwalking, aren’t you?”
“Tell me, how did you steal our Wang Family Village’s Ling Lake? Who are your accomplices?!”
Li Ping'an pointed to Big Huang, then to Niu Niu. “My accomplices are these two, and a black dog.”
Wang Fa’s gaze was pressing, and he sneered, “Not telling the truth, are you? Later, I’ll skin your dogs, and we’ll see if you talk!”
He waved his hand, “Take them down!”
“Zheng~”
As Wang Fa’s voice fell, two people immediately drew their combat swords, and with Spirit Qi surging, they rushed over.
Li Ping'an looked at Big Huang and said indifferently, “Did you hear that? He wants to skin you.”
“Woo~ Woof~” Big Huang bared his teeth, raised a dog paw, and pressed it down through the air. A claw shadow appeared out of nowhere, covering the two people.
“Bang~”
This claw strike was too powerful.
Before it even properly landed, the sheer powerful aura alone turned the two Wang Family Village Disciples into a mass of blood mist.
“Run, it’s a Yao Beast!”
Wang Fa was quite knowledgeable; his Face changed drastically, and he quickly retreated.
At the same time, his Spirit Qi, at the Peak of the True Spirit Realm Ninth Layer, surged fully, and between his clasped hands, a massive fireball gathered.
“Moo~”
Niu Niu bellowed, smoke coming from its nostrils.
A scorching pillar of fire erupted, instantly shattering Wang Fa’s fireball, and the flames consumed the three of them.
“Ah~”
They only let out a mournful shriek before their lives and Dao were extinguished, perishing on the spot.
Niu Niu wagged its small tail, “Playing with fire, huh? Can you outplay a fire-breathing cow?”
Li Ping'an quickly stepped forward, nimbly picking up five spatial Jade Slips.
At the same time, Heihei returned to report, “Perfectly resolved, no traces left.”
“Did you bring this back?” Li Ping'an showed a spatial Jade Slip.
“I did.” Heihei opened its dog mouth and spat out two spatial Jade Slips.
Li Ping'an waved his hand, stored them in the System warehouse, and then called the little ones back. “Next, let’s keep a low profile, and be flexible…”
Just as they returned to the wooden shed,
Li Ping'an saw quite a few figures heading towards Spirit Field No. 4 to the east.
After all,
there had been battle fluctuations and screams earlier.
Of course, this was nothing; as long as it wasn’t people from Wang Family Village, there generally wouldn’t be a problem.
Even if they came looking tomorrow, the Ling Lake would have long been absorbed by the soil, and no one would be able to find anything.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, the surrounding area became lively.
In Jiang Family Village, Jiang Ming began his sword practice.
Li Ping'an went over with Big Huang. “Brother Jiang, so many people over there, is something happening?”
Jiang Ming’s hand movements didn’t stop. “The Ling Lake of Wang Family Village was stolen, and seven people are missing. They’re currently investigating.”
Then,
he reminded, “Don’t go watch the commotion. As long as you’re within the Jiang Family Village’s boundaries, I can protect you.”
Li Ping'an smiled faintly, “Thanks.”
Jiang Ming: “Just saying thanks is useless; there must be wine.”
Li Ping'an said, “I’ll go to Ling City right now to buy some Spirit Wine for Brother Jiang and bring it back.”
“That won’t do.” Jiang Ming put away his sword and stood. “Spirit Wine is bland. I still prefer the kind of wine you brought before, with a human touch.”
Li Ping'an shook his head. “That’s gone. When I have time to go back to my old home, I’ll bring some more for you.”
During their conversation,
many people from Wang Family Village arrived, led by the Village Chief, Wang Laiyou.
And as they passed by Jiang Family Village, these people seemed somewhat apprehensive, all Bypass some distance before stopping in front of the wooden shed.
“Whose Spirit Field is this under charge?”
Wang Laiyou asked in a deep voice, his voice mixed with Spirit Qi fluctuations, making the sound waves travel far with great penetrative power.
Li Ping'an stood up and walked towards them, smiling, “It’s my Spirit Field, Fellow Daoists, is there something I can help you with?”
As Li Ping'an approached,
Wang Laiyou looked him up and down twice, then said, “Just a Mortal. Who allowed you to farm here?”
Li Ping'an pointed to Jiang Ming, who had followed him. “He told me to farm.”
Jiang Ming glanced at Wang Laiyou and said indifferently, “Do you have an objection?”
Wang Laiyou cupped his hands in a salute and said, “To my knowledge, the Xianyan Sect only permits you a range of one li around Jiang Family Village. This place clearly exceeds the limit.”
Jiang Ming snorted lightly. “Jiang Family Village wants to expand, is that not allowed?”
Wang Laiyou said, “Allowed, of course allowed.”
Jiang Ming waved his hand. “Then scram. Remember, from Jiang Family Village ten li to the east is all my territory.”
Wang Laiyou frowned and said with a fake smile, “Since it’s your territory, then this elder has something to ask you.”
“Last night, someone ran to Wang Family Village and stole Ling Lake. Seven of our people pursued them, and the people from Xiao Xian Sect all said they heard screams here last night.”
“May I ask, Young Master Jiang, do you know what happened?”
Jiang Ming shook his head. “I don’t know. Even if I did, you’re not qualified to make this Young Master answer.”
Then,
he gripped his sword hilt and said indifferently, “Three counts. If you don’t scram, my sword will drink blood.”
Wang Laiyou’s Face darkened. “Jiang Ming, do you still think you’re the Great Protector’s personal Disciple? You’ve already been expelled from the Immortal Sect!”
“Giving you Face, I call you Young Master. If I don’t give you Face, what are you even?!”
Jiang Ming’s expression was calm, and he directly said, “Two.”
“Let’s go.” Wang Laiyou was also decisive, turning around and calling everyone to leave directly.
However, their Faces were extremely unpleasant, filled with anger.
Li Ping'an looked at Jiang Ming and smiled, “Thank you, Brother Jiang.”
“Only with wine can you say thanks.” Jiang Ming said, then turned and walked towards Jiang Family Village.
The weather was nice.
Sunny and bright, neither cold nor hot.
Li Ping'an went to Outer Gate Spirit City.
He bought eleven thousand One-Grade Spirit Rice seeds for 220 Spirit Stones and returned to Spirit Field No. 4 to replant them.
Afterward, he continued to use Mountain Gazing to find and mark Spirit Fields, then began to reclaim ten acres of Two-Grade Spirit Fields.
He worked until dusk to finish planting, earning 200 cultivation points.
Li Ping'an was not in a hurry to use them; even if he used them all, his combat power wouldn’t increase much.
He still had a lot of Spirit Qi and didn’t need to replenish it.
At the wooden shed,
Wang Xin'yan was already waiting.
Li Ping'an feigned confusion, raising an eyebrow slightly. “What are you doing here again?”
Wang Xin'yan’s gaze was cold, full of disdain from her very bones. “The divorce letter, another one needs to be written.”
“Heh, heh heh.” Li Ping'an laughed. “I say, aren’t you sick? What kind of logic is there to write two divorce letters?”
Wang Xin'yan formed a hand seal.
A surge of Spirit Qi danced in her palm, emitting a sharp aura, and she said coldly, “Write the divorce letter or your dog’s Life Qi, choose one yourself!”
Li Ping'an was very angry. “Damn it, you wouldn’t really think a farmer is easy to bully, would you…”
