Soon, someone appeared.
It was four Wang Family Village Disciples, all rushing towards Jiang Family Village.
They held battle knives, intending to destroy the old archway of Jiang Family Village.
“Boom~”
However,
The moment the battle knives fell, the old archway actually erupted with a cold Sword Qi.
In an instant, these four people were killed on the spot.
The dim barrier was still there, so the mastermind behind it should not have left yet.
“No wonder Jiang Ming reminded me earlier to watch over Niu Niu and the others, and not to destroy Jiang Family Village. So there was a killing formation.”
Li Ping'an returned to the wooden shed, pulling Hei Hei over. “Your eyes are very strong, aren’t they? Take a look, who is controlling the barrier outside.”
Hei Hei walked out of the wooden shed with his tail wagging, his dog eyes slightly narrowed as he looked around, then returned to Li Ping'an’s side.
“Boss, there are still many people outside.”
“A large group of Wang Family Village Disciples. The one controlling the barrier should be that white-clothed man with a strong aura. Everyone calls him Young Master Sword.”
Young Master Sword?
That should be Lu Yijian.
Li Ping'an was silent for a moment, then instructed, “All of you, brace yourselves. If we have to act later, make sure to kill all of them.”
“Once they destroy Jiang Family Village, they will definitely kill us to silence us!”
Da Huang nodded, a fierce light swirling in his dog eyes.
Niu Niu lowered his head, gently rubbing Hei Hei’s fur with his horns.
“Niu, what are you doing?” Hei Hei asked, tilting his dog head.
Niu Niu, “First, sharpen my horns, then I’ll go on a rampage!”
Over there.
More Wang Family Disciples appeared.
This time there were six people, four of whom went to collect the bodies, and the other two bypassed the Jiang Family Village archway and entered the village.
“Ah~”
They triggered something unknown, and after a scream, there was no more sound.
The four people who were carrying the bodies no longer dared to stay, and all rushed out of this dim area.
“They’re dead, both of them are dead.”
“This Jiang Family Village, I’m afraid, has killing formations everywhere.”
Outside the barrier.
Listening to the news brought back by those two, the faces of the Wang Family members were grim and filled with anger.
In just this short time, six more of them had died. If this continued, they would all die sooner or later!
“Young Master Sword, this Jiang Family Village is strange.”
A middle-aged man bowed to Lu Yijian, his expression respectful and fearful.
He was the new village chief of Wang Family Village, Wang Sanshi.
Lu Yijian’s expression was indifferent, and he said, “Continue to go in. Tonight, you must thoroughly investigate the situation of Jiang Family Village for me!”
Wang Sanshi showed a troubled expression. Those who went in to risk their lives were all Disciples of his Wang Family Village.
Lu Yijian’s eyes slightly chilled, “What, you want to defy my order?”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.” Wang Sanshi shook his head repeatedly, then turned to look at several people beside him, “You few, go in and take a look.”
“No, I’m not going.”
“Going in means death, I’m not going either.”
They shook their heads repeatedly, retreating with faces full of fear.
“So afraid of death, what use are you good-for-nothings to this Young Master?!”
Lu Yijian snorted softly.
As he flipped his palm, a ball of spiritual power was born, erupting into several Sword Qi, instantly killing these people on the spot.
Such a scene made the others even more terrified.
Lu Yijian said coldly, “You might die if you go in, but you will definitely die if you don’t go in.”
“This Young Master guarantees that as long as you figure out the situation of Jiang Family Village, there will be a heavy reward, Cultivation Techniques, and resources for you to choose from!”
Wang Sanshi looked at everyone, “What are you standing around for? Go in quickly, all of you, go in!”
Those people looked at each other, and in the end, they all turned and ran, scattering in all directions.
“Courting death!”
Lu Yijian spoke coldly, forming a hand seal and pointing into the air, causing dozens of sword lights to roar out.
“Ah~”
Screams rose, and blood rained down.
None of the dozens of fleeing Wang Family Village Disciples survived.
Wang Sanshi’s face was pale, both shocked and angry, and also terrified. His entire body was trembling slightly, but he dared not offer any rebuttal.
“Spiritual Movement Control Technique!”
Lu Yijian’s hand seals changed, and all those corpses actually floated up, all thrown into Jiang Family Village.
And then.
He gently floated his palm, destroying all traces, then looked at Wang Sanshi, and said indifferently, “Tomorrow, go find the Outer Gate Spirit City Elder and tell him that there is a fierce creature hidden in Jiang Family Village.”
“And that many of your Wang Family Village Disciples were massacred when they passed by here during their patrol.”
“As long as you use this incident to destroy Jiang Family Village, I will not shortchange you on benefits, understand?”
Wang Sanshi nodded repeatedly, “Understood, understood.”
Lu Yijian gently moved his palm to dispel the dim barrier. He did not leave, but instead came over to Li Ping'an’s side.
Niu Niu pretended to eat grass.
Da Huang tilted his dog head, staring at the man.
Hei Hei also pretended to be scared, tucking his tail between his legs and circling to another spot.
And this situation clearly surrounded Lu Yijian.
Li Ping'an pretended not to understand, and smiled, “Senior Brother, is there something you need?”
“Hmph~” Lu Yijian snorted softly, and said indifferently, “Tomorrow, Xianyan Sect Elders and law enforcement personnel will arrive.”
“They will inquire about tonight’s matter. There is a great fierce creature in Jiang Family Village, and you are the closest, so you saw with your own eyes that many Wang Family Disciples were killed.”
Li Ping'an shook his head repeatedly, “No, I didn’t see it, I didn’t see anything.”
Lu Yijian’s eyes slightly chilled, like two sharp swords trying to pierce through Li Ping'an’s body, “It doesn’t matter whether you saw it or not. What’s important is that you must say this, understand?!”
Li Ping'an’s fearful expression became even more realistic. He didn’t know what to say, appearing flustered.
Lu Yijian chuckled, “Don’t be afraid. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee your safety, and you will also receive great benefits.”
“Otherwise, you, and these three beasts, will disappear tonight.”
Li Ping'an nodded repeatedly, “Understood, understood. Don’t kill me, I’m most afraid of death. I will definitely do as you say.”
Lu Yijian threw a Medicinal Pill to Li Ping'an, and said indifferently, “This is a calming pill. Eating it will calm your heart, and also calm my heart.”
“After tomorrow, I will send you the antidote.”
Li Ping'an hesitated.
Lu Yijian released his oppressive Qi, threatening coldly, “If you want to die, then you can refuse.”
“I’ll eat it, I’ll eat it.” Li Ping'an opened his mouth, and under Lu Yijian’s gaze, he pinched the Medicinal Pill and put it into his mouth, also sending it into the System warehouse.
“That’s more like it.” Lu Yijian retracted his oppressive Qi, and sneered, “Tomorrow, I’ll be watching your performance. Otherwise, this Medicinal Pill will give birth to a thousand poisonous insects, devouring everything about you!”
As his voice fell, he controlled his Flying Sword and flew away into the distance.
Under the night sky.
Wang Sanshi had not yet left.
He stared at the corpses, his heart exceptionally heavy. He had brought twenty-four people, and all of them were dead except for himself.
“Alas~”
After a long while, Wang Sanshi let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
Hei Hei sat in front of Li Ping'an, “Boss, are we just letting them go?”
Li Ping'an chuckled, already having a plan in mind.
He rubbed the dog’s head, “Lock onto his Qi. Let him go back first, and then we’ll go find him.”
“Why?” Da Huang asked, puzzled.
Li Ping'an chuckled, “Wang Family Village is heavily guarded. If we find him silently, it will definitely startle him and make him afraid.”
“I already have a preliminary plan. If he doesn’t agree, then tonight we will eliminate this scourge of Wang Family Village!”
If Wang Family Village was not removed, Lu Yijian would have pawns everywhere.
And based on the previous situation, his desire to destroy Jiang Family Village seemed to be more than just simple hatred for Jiang Ming.
If this matter could not be resolved, there would be more trouble.
Killing Lu Yijian and his group here would also work, but he was a Disciple of the sect master and a master of the Earth Extremity Realm. If he escaped, the consequences would be severe.
Even if he could be killed, the fluctuations from the battle would certainly be significant. So, for now, it seemed the only option was to play along with his scheme.
When it felt about right.
Li Ping'an called Hei Hei, Da Huang, and Niu Niu, and they all headed in the direction of Wang Family Village.
The patrol personnel here were not too many, and there were also some other hired hands.
After all, Wang Family Village had suffered heavy losses recently and no longer had so many people available.
“Da Huang, Niu Niu, you two wait here.”
“If a big battle breaks out inside, don’t let anyone leave!”
Li Ping'an instructed, then flipped onto Hei Hei’s back, “Let’s go, doggy, into the village…”
