— The world is inherently Wuxia, but living beings seize its beauty. I vow to sacrifice all beings, to seize the beauty and return it to the world—
— The world is inherently Wuxia, but living beings seize its beauty. I vow to sacrifice all beings, to seize the beauty and return it to the world—
The bitter-faced middle-aged man and all the passersby, while chanting strange prayers, rushed towards Li Hai and the young girl with dull expressions and cold eyes, like a group of thoughtless, emotionless zombies.
Facing the encirclement by the crowd and the girl, the unfamiliar young girl who was tightly protecting Li Hai immediately chanted a spell, forming hand seals, and then sharply shouted:
"Li Wang Temple's secluded realm, expel evil and banish filth, auspicious light illuminates peace, do not stop, quick!"
At that moment, a hazy, clear light containing faint incense and Telekinesis suddenly covered an area of ten zhang.
Under the illumination of this clear light, dozens of passersby and the bitter-faced middle-aged man suddenly rolled their eyes and fainted one by one.
The surrounding shop owners and other pedestrians further away, upon seeing so many people collapse on the street, immediately screamed in fright, packed up their belongings, and fled in a hurry.
Thus, in an instant, this snack street suddenly became empty and desolate.
As for the crippled girl who flew over, she seemed to have been doused with strong acid or alkali, suddenly screaming miserably with black smoke rising from her body, frantically retreating into the distance.
But Li Hai, who had been observing the battle from the side, would never let her escape so easily.
He lightly raised his index finger and twisted it slightly, and within a hundred zhang, sudden gusts of hurricane vortexes appeared, like invisible flood dragons, tightly binding and securing the strange girl who wanted to fly away, pulling her through the air directly in front of him.
"This is a Sky Battle Filth Child, a product of Black Descent Arts. Young man, absolutely do not touch it!"
The young girl beside him shouted urgently, gathering her fingers and forming a seal, pointing directly at the center of the eyebrows of the strange girl suspended in the air.
As a flash of clear light passed, the girl's expression stiffened, her eyes closed, and she fell into a death-like sleep.
After doing all this, the young girl slowly exhaled, turned to Li Hai, extended her hand, and said word by word:
"Hello, I am Feifei. I am a Disciple of Zan Popo, the temple priest of the local Li Wang Temple. I didn't expect you to also know sacrificial arts, but I don't know—which Life God's follower you are."
"What I used just now was not the so-called sacrificial art you mentioned."
Li Hai smiled, "It was a Bloodline Divine Power."
"Divine Power?" Feifei asked blankly, "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't understand what Divine Power is. By the way, what is your name?"
"My name is Li Hai."
Li Hai looked at her and smiled softly, "Actually, you might not know—you yourself possess a Bloodline Divine Power."
That's right, this unfamiliar young girl named Feifei possesses a Divine Power, and this Divine Power—
Has actually reached the King Rank.
And this young girl's personal interface is: Character Name: Feifei Rank: True Energy Martial Path → Acquired Seventh Level, Bloodline Divine Power → King Rank, Qimen Arts → Soul Gathering and Spirit Condensing Skills Possessed: "Tiger Form Fist" "Fatal Cat Demon" "Li Wang Exorcism Curse" "Mystic Principle Memory Nest Book"
Trait Entries: 【Strong Soul Level 1】 【Iron Body Level 1】 【Self-Healing Level 3】 【Wildness Level 1】 【Claws Level 1】
【Berserk Level 2】 【Revival Level 4】 【Spiritual Focus Level 1】 【Mana Level 1】
Strongest Fragments: None "We can talk about Divine Power later, I have something very important to tell you now."
Feifei said very quickly, "You should have been targeted by people from the Wuxia Cult. They want to capture you for a blood sacrifice. If you don't have anything important to do, you should leave here quickly and find a place to hide for a while."
The young girl's words made Li Hai want to laugh.
In fact, with Li Hai's reaction ability, he had already sensed the strange girl before she even launched her attack.
It was the fact that this girl didn't have a personal interface that surprised Li Hai.
So he wanted to 'interact' with her a little and study her background.
Because of this, Li Hai had remained an observer during the previous chaos; he wanted to see how things would unfold.
But clearly, this young girl named Feifei knew a lot of things.
"Feifei." Li Hai asked, "Can you tell me what kind of organization this Wuxia Cult is, why they want to capture me, and what kind of blood sacrifice they want to perform?"
"This isn't the place to talk, let's talk as we walk." Feifei looked around, signaling Li Hai to follow her.
Before leaving, she also wrapped the strange girl in a thick cloth and carried her on her shoulder, as if afraid that leaving her there would cause some trouble.
As they walked, Feifei also stepped carefully, seemingly afraid of stepping on the unconscious people on the ground.
Perhaps also afraid that Li Hai might accidentally step on someone, she quickly explained as she walked:
"That person with the somewhat bitter face just now, and these passersby around, they are all innocent civilians.
They were influenced and controlled by the Sky Battle Filth Child, so you must not harm them."
"Understood."
Li Hai walked slowly behind her, "You just said that this Filth Child was created using Black Descent Arts. What exactly are Black Descent Arts?"
"I'm not very clear about the specifics."
Feifei said as she walked, "I only heard my master say that Black Descent Arts are an ancient evil art prevalent south of the Southern Border, in a barbaric land outside the Martial World.
It is rumored that there are many barbaric states and native countries there, and the native sorcerers in these barbaric countries like to use this evil art to harm people."
"So that's how it is." Li Hai guessed, "So this Wuxia Cult is a native cult?"
"That, I'm not very clear about. Master only said that the Wuxia Cult's main base is in those barbaric countries."
Feifei walked very fast, and spoke very fast at the same time, "But I do know that the Wuxia Cult hates people with excellent appearances the most."
At this point, she suddenly looked at Li Hai steadily and asked, "You must be very good-looking, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't be so eager to capture you."
"Hmm?" Li Hai raised an eyebrow and asked strangely, "This should be—obvious, right?"
Although he hadn't yet gotten used to his own appearance, the 【Charm】 trait, which had reached Level 4, could not be faked.
"Sorry."
Feifei smiled awkwardly, "I have face blindness, which means I can't tell who is pretty and who isn't, which is why I asked you that question, sorry."
Even though she said that, a faint doubt still arose in Li Hai's mind.
His Level 4 Charm was Cultivated through a Cultivation Technique, was it really that easy to be immune to?
Before Li Hai could ponder further, Feifei spoke again:
"The Wuxia Cult, which wants to capture you, is also known as the Ugly Cult. As the name suggests, almost all the followers in this cult are ugly people.
Most importantly, the doctrine of this cult is that out of ten parts of beauty in the world, all things occupy seven parts, and the remaining three parts are taken by the many beautiful people in the world.
Therefore, these ugly people indignantly believe that it is the existence of these beautiful people that prevents the beauty of the world from being Wuxia.
Thus, they vow to kill all beautiful people in the world, so that the thirty percent of beauty that has been occupied can return to nature, and the world can return to Wuxia."
