Someone excitedly said, how else could you explain that guiding light beam? Ordinary power couldn’t do it.
Everyone knows that Liu Village is hard to find. Even the royal families of the ancient countries have a hard time finding it, even with the assistance of rare treasures, they can only leave dejectedly.
But now, under the guidance of this mysterious light beam, they have actually arrived at this mysterious place.
“Stop right there, this is Liu Village. Where are you from? What are you doing here?”
At the entrance of Liu Village, the villagers in charge of daily patrols spotted the wild children gathered outside the gate in no time.
The small team leader who was leading them spoke, instantly deterring a group of wild children who wanted to enter the village directly.
“Dear uncles, we’re from Heaven Mending Pavilion!”
A girl who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen stepped forward. She was the senior sister of the group. She squeezed a smile onto her face and spoke softly, her voice full of hope.
This little village was their last hope.
After the fall of Elder Divine Vine and the destruction of their sect, the opposing forces that used to be hostile are bound to target them like predators.
In these past few days, they have seen their fellow disciples killed more than once.
If it were not for the struggle along the way, and the fact that some disciples were familiar with the situation in the mountains and forests, they might not even make it here.
Looking across the Wilderness, it seemed that the only place they could be protected was Liu Village.
This is a holy land, guarded by divine spirits. No power would dare to violate it.
“Heaven Mending Pavilion? Wasn’t the Heaven Mending Pavilion completely destroyed?!”
The voice rang out, awakening the women.
The men responsible for guarding the village frowned, their expressions somewhat astonished.
The news of Heaven Mending Pavilion’s destruction had spread throughout the Wilderness in the past few days, it was well-known, even they had heard some of the rumors.
“We were lucky enough to survive, and according to the direction, we came here. We don’t ask for anything else, we just want to join Liu Village!”
A group of girls had red eyes, and tears were constantly swirling in their eyes.
Among them, most of them had already lost their homes. Heaven Mending Pavilion was considered their second home. Now that even this second home was gone, they really didn’t know what to do next.
“Don’t cry first, wait here, we’re going to call the Clan Leader!”
Seeing a group of teenagers crying their eyes out, the men who were normally fearless even when facing fierce beasts couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. Someone quickly ran off in one direction.
Soon, under the protection of Lin Zhuang and others, Old man Lin hurried over.
Jiang Hui had already informed him, straightforward as he was, Old man Lin just waved his hand, leading them all into the village.
“I already know about your plight, poor children. From now on, Liu Village is your home. Rest assured, this is Lord Willow God’s territory.”
Old man Lin looked at the young men and women with pity.
He could tell that these children must come from poor families, otherwise they wouldn’t have ended up like this. They should have been taken away by their respective families beforehand.
A friendly face and the kind words of an elder quickly helped these young men and women calm down considerably.
Upon learning that these children had nowhere to go, and were starving to death, the women of Liu Village couldn’t help but overflow with compassion.
A group of aunts were spitting and spluttering, bombarding the children with endless words.
Others had sharpened their kitchen knives, prepared ingredients, and pulled out their own culinary specialties.
“Auntie Li, remember to stuff a few old ginseng roots into the chicken when you stew it. The taste will be even better if you add some pork trotters,” Tu Wa Zi came over specifically to join in the fun and gave her some unsolicited advice.
“You little rascal, you have quite a lot of demands!” The woman Tu Wa Zi called Auntie Li laughed and scolded, which instantly caused a burst of laughter.
The group of teenagers totally integrated themselves here, feeling the happiness of an early childhood home, something completely different from what they had felt in the sect.
It wasn’t even two days before the teenagers had fully integrated into Liu Village’s big family.
Another thing worth mentioning is that in the past few days, Tu Wa and Gu Chen would always come over to chat with them.
Both sides were of the same age, naturally, they had a lot in common to talk about.
“Since you all come from the Heaven Mending Pavilion, do you know someone named Little Dot?”
Tu Wa Zi gestured animatedly, trying to imitate Shi Hao’s height and appearance.
He and Little Dot had some acquaintance, so he was genuinely worried about his safety.
More importantly, he always felt that Little Dot was a lucky star. Following him could bring many benefits. Although sometimes there were losses, the gains undoubtedly outweighed them.
If such a lucky star really left, at least for him, it would undoubtedly be a great pity.
“Little Dot? Which Little Dot?” A group of teenagers scratched their heads, a bit puzzled.
“It seems to be called Shi…Shi Hao!” Tu Wa Zi grinned, he himself was not very clear about Little Dot’s real name, but remembered it being mentioned casually once or twice.
“Ah, you’re talking about the little junior fellow from the sect. It seems that he escaped. Along with him was a junior fellow named Clear Wind.”
A quiet looking girl said with a smile.
She once entered the Broken Hundred Mountain Range with Little Dot, otherwise she might not have known who Tu Wa Zi was talking about.
“I always thought that kid was blessed with good fortune. He didn’t seem like someone who would die easily!” Tu Wa Zi gave a smirk, completely relieved.
He was planning to stroll around Stone Village in the future, trying to get some valuable items again,
If when he went there were no familiar faces, he would feel awkward about making a move.
In the following days, many more people came to join, almost all of them the surviving disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion.
The scattered numbers added up, making the total population of Liu Village reach more than a thousand people in the shortest time.
However, the growth rate undoubtedly slowed down a lot afterwards.
Almost all of the surviving disciples of Heaven Mending Pavilion who hadn’t left had been absorbed into Liu Village. The rest either died in battle or were taken away by the powers they belonged to in advance.
At the same time, if a scattering of petty thugs can absorb so many, it can be considered pretty good.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was July or August. The weather in the deep mountain and dense forest became endlessly varied.
One moment, the sky was clear; in the next few seconds, there would be heavy rain, like a shower of arrows falling to the ground.
Inside Liu Village, a rain had just fallen. The mountains and forests after the rain were more lush, as if a layer of dye had been applied anew.
Round raindrops slid slowly down from the tips of the leaves, and the air held a blend of humid freshness.
The distant watchtower was shrouded in mist, giving off a faint chill.
During these months, Jiang Hui naturally hatched several dragon eggs, but most of them weren’t particularly fortunate or unfortunate, with altogether average contents, nothing more than satisfactory.
But his luck for the past month had been amazingly good, he had actually drawn a legendary dragon egg, which pleasantly surprised Jiang Hui for quite a while.
However, the hatching requirements for this legendary egg were rather high.
The one he had drawn before only needed to be placed in water for a year and a half. Although it took patience, there was no difficulty with it, and the waiting period was not too long.
But this one required the heart blood of a Void Path expert.
What was the Void Path? Even in the Upper Realm, it was considered one of the top powers, belonging to the Hierarch of a legendary great sect, capable of causing the downfall of countless stars and destruction of the galaxy, a supreme being.
Hunting such an existence was nothing short of a madman’s dream.
He could see it, he could touch it, but he just couldn’t hatch it, which made Jiang Hui helpless with frustration.
He had a premonition that the treasure contained in this dragon egg would definitely exceed his imagination. If it could be opened, it might bring substantial change to Liu Village.
Apart from that, the most significant changes could be seen in the Lin brothers, Zhuang and Chen, as well as Tu Wa Zi, Gu Chen, and Lin Xin Tong.
They were the select talents of the village, possessing a terrifying constitution that other people could only dream of, easily advancing in their cultivation.
Under the guidance of the Mortality Volume and several months of hard cultivation, they had opened up multiple Cave Heavens.
Tu Wa Zi came in first place, having had good opportunities in the Broken Hundred Mountains and gulped down many good things. He was now beginning to digest and nourish, having opened up seven Cave Heavens.
The Lin brothers followed closely behind, reaching six Cave Heavens, while Little Eight Lin had five.
As for Gu Chen, he still only had one, but it was even more condensed.. Above the Cave Heaven, there were faint traces of a blood sea, and although the quantity was small, the scene was even more terrifying!
