#1957 - Not knowing how high the sky is and how deep the earth is

When Jun Wu Xie came out of the Eight Nine Mysterious Palace, the outside world was already the morning of the Heavenly Bestowment Battle competition.

The morning sun broke through the clouds, golden sunlight灑滿大地, and the sky was clear without a cloud.

Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu were already waiting in the courtyard.

Jun Wu Xie withdrew his Primal Chaos Incarnation, and then led them away from the inn and walked towards the competition venue.

"Lord Jun, these past two days, the town has been as quiet as a ghost town.

It's very strange. No one in the town is talking about what happened that day, as if they have all forgotten about it. Everyone is keeping their mouths shut."

Hua Qing had been very puzzled these past two days.

He had gone out to the streets, but there were very few people along the way, and most of the shops on the street were temporarily closed.

A small number of shops were open, and there were some customers inside, coming and going, but he didn't hear anyone talking about what happened two days ago in public.

However, his divine sense did detect some people talking about it inside certain buildings.

However, that was all behind closed doors.

Jun Wu Xie said, "It's only natural that they are wary.

That day, you almost beat up the entire town. The people in the town are naturally afraid and worried about getting into trouble."

"This…"

Hua Qing, Hua Hu, and Hua Qi looked at each other.

"Is Lord Jun saying that they are afraid that talking about this will cause them to be beaten up by us?"

Hua Qing's lips twitched slightly twice, and he said, "Are we that ferocious?"

"It's hard to say whether we are that ferocious in their eyes, but what is certain is that they don't want to cause trouble for themselves.

At least, they don't want to talk about this publicly until we leave this ancient town."

"So that's how it is. They were scared, hahaha!"

Hua Qing laughed loudly.

Since ancient times, has anyone ever feared the people of their Apricot Blossom Village?

In the past, when outsiders knew their identities, they were always repelled and excluded, and even targeted.

Now, the tables have turned, and these guys are finally afraid and wary.

They walked on the street, and from time to time they could see some people also heading towards the Heavenly Bestowment Battle arena.

A rumbling sound came from the street far behind them.

The sound was like wheels crushing the ground and feet stomping on the ground to run.

Soon, a gust of wind swept over, blowing their hair and clothes together.

A chariot drove past, very fast, with a rolling desolate aura.

There were more than ten people in the chariot, including five teenagers, and several middle-aged and elderly people.

Pulling the chariot was a strong ancient beast that looked like a leopard, but its body was several times larger than a leopard, and the leopard spots on its body were not fur patterns, but armor plates covering its body.

"That's a Spotted Scale Leopard, at the True God Lesser Heaven Realm.

I wonder what force it is that can tame this kind of ancient beast and make it willing to pull a chariot!"

Hua Hu was a little surprised.

If they could encounter a lone Spotted Scale Leopard, it wouldn't be too difficult to capture one at the True God Lesser Heaven Realm.

However, Spotted Scale Leopards usually don't appear alone.

They basically appear in groups of several, and large groups even have more than a dozen.

The habits of this ancient beast are completely different from ordinary leopards. They are small group of gregarious ancient beasts.

Most importantly, even if they are captured, it is not easy to make them submit.

In the end, they can only be killed, and it is difficult to make them willingly serve humans.

"There should be special means, or rather, there are people in their forces with higher soul realms who use mental power to disintegrate the Spotted Scale Leopard's will to resist.

Although the will of ancient beasts is extremely strong, if they are at the True God Lesser Heaven Realm, if they face mental power above the True God Greater Heaven Realm, as long as there is enough time, the possibility of giving up resistance and ultimately submitting is extremely high.

They shouldn't be a powerful force.

Judging from the people on the chariot, the older generation powerhouses who came with the participating teenagers, except for one at the True God Middle Heaven Realm, the rest are all at the True God Lesser Heaven Realm."

Just then, the chariot in front suddenly stopped.

The Spotted Scale Leopard's entire front body soared into the air, making a sharp brake.

Immediately, the chariot stopped steadily.

"What's going on in the town? Why don't I see anyone?"

Someone in the chariot asked the sparse pedestrians on the road.

They were full of doubts. Usually, this town was bustling with people and traffic, but it had never been so deserted.

Moreover, today is the day of the Heavenly Bestowment Battle competition. The town should be very lively.

Could it be that at this early hour, the people in the town have already arrived at the competition venue waiting to watch the excitement?

"Ah? Reporting to you, sir, we don't know either."

Those who were asked secretly glanced at Jun Wu Xie and the others who were walking leisurely on the street not far from them.

"Perhaps they have already gone to the competition venue. After all, the sun has already come out, and it's not too early.

On such a special day, everyone is excited and went to the venue early to wait to watch the exciting competition, which is also reasonable."

The person in the chariot nodded, and then continued to drive away.

Before long, they arrived at the arena.

Indeed, many people had already arrived here, but the number was far less than they had expected.

Among them, there were also a large number of people who were mentally萎靡, and some even had crutches, and some were sitting in wheelchairs, and some had gauze wrapped around their faces.

Not a few, but most people were like this.

They couldn't help but be stunned.

What's the situation?

Why is it such a scene? What exactly happened in the town?

They immediately parked the car in a certain area near the square.

There were many chariots and war chariots parked there, all of which belonged to the participating forces.

Then, they entered the square to inquire about the situation.

As a result, the people they asked shook their heads, saying they didn't know what was going on.

"Obviously something happened, are you taking us for blind?

The people of this force showed a cold light in their eyes.

How unreasonable, everyone is actually lying with their eyes open.

"Come and tell me, what exactly happened? Why are you in this state?"

"Sir, I got drunk a few days ago and bumped into the door frame, and then fell on the way back…"

The people who heard this were so angry that they almost kicked him.

Can getting drunk turn a Saint Realm cultivator into this state, or make them fall like this?

They continued to ask other injured people, and the answers they got were either that they accidentally fell, or that they got drunk and injured themselves in a fight, and some even said that they were suddenly possessed and mutilated themselves, turning themselves into this state.

They naturally didn't believe it and were very angry. It was obvious that they were collectively deceiving them.

Looking around, they quickly saw a protector of Tyrant Sword Manor and immediately walked over to greet him in a flattering manner, and then asked about this matter.

The protector of Tyrant Sword Manor was about to open his mouth when the corner of his eye caught sight of Jun Wu Xie and the others slowly walking over in the distance.

The words he was about to say were immediately swallowed back.

Although the Manor Lord had already formed an alliance with the other three major forces and prepared to deal with that youth from outside the realm.

But for now, it's better not to create extra complications. Now is not the right time.

"This matter is strange," the Tyrant Sword Manor protector shook his head and sighed, "A strange thing happened in the town the past two days. In the middle of the night, most of the people were collectively possessed. Some fought each other, and some mutilated themselves, so it led to this result…"

"Is it really possession?"

They were shocked and felt unbelievable.

"What, are you questioning this protector?"

The Tyrant Sword Manor protector's face sank, and his eyes were unkind.

The people of that force immediately smiled apologetically and said, "We wouldn't dare, how dare we question you."

Even if this protector's realm was only at the True God Lesser Heaven Realm, he was, after all, a high-level member of Tyrant Sword Manor, and they couldn't afford to offend him.

Besides, their forces relied on Tyrant Sword Manor in many places, and there were still many business dealings with Tyrant Sword Manor.

If Tyrant Sword Manor cut off cooperation with them, they would suffer heavy losses.

At this time, Jun Wu Xie and the others entered the arena.

After they arrived, the entire venue was quiet, and everyone didn't dare to look directly at them.

The sudden silence made the people of that force feel puzzled. Looking around, they immediately noticed Jun Wu Xie and the others.

Regarding Jun Wu Xie, they were just curious when such an extraordinary youth appeared in the ancient town.

When their gazes fell on Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu, their pupils shrank.

They didn't recognize Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu, but they recognized the clothes of the Apricot Blossom Village people.

"Third Uncle, isn't that the clothing of Apricot Blossom Village? Could it be that they are people from Apricot Blossom Village?"

A youth from that force showed an unkind look in his eyes and said to a middle-aged man beside him.

"That's right, it is indeed the clothing of Apricot Blossom Village."

The middle-aged man nodded and said in a slightly playful tone, "I didn't expect Apricot Blossom Village to also come to participate in the Heavenly Bestowment Battle competition."

"Third Uncle, it is said that behind the reckless man who has been targeting Apricot Blossom Village since ancient times, there is an incredible figure. If we can be noticed by that person, wouldn't it be of great benefit to our future development?"

"If we can be noticed, the benefits are self-evident."

"If that's the case, then I will kill them in the competition today.

Well, now, I will go and test them out first."

As the young man spoke, his face was full of malicious expressions, and he walked towards Hua Qi and the others.

Arriving in front of Hua Qi, he looked up and down, left and right at Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu with presumptuous eyes.

"The Heavenly Bestowment Battle competition is a battle for glory, not something that any bumpkin can come and participate in."

He started making trouble as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Who are you? Are you from this town?"

Hua Qi looked at the arrogant young man with a smile that was not a smile, with his arms crossed.

"Boy, listen carefully, this young master is a direct descendant of the Green Gang.

Do you know the Green Gang?

Oh, now I remember. You people from Apricot Blossom Village have been huddled in this poor, remote place for generations. You're scared to even leave your village, and you've never seen the world. It's normal that you don't know about our Azure Gang.

Indeed, I haven't heard of any Azure Gang. I only know about Blade Tyrant Manor, Fiery Saber Sect, the Zou family, and the Fu family in town.

So, you're not from town either, huh?

In that case, aren't you just a bunch of country bumpkins as well?

Bastard, how dare you talk back to me? Looks like you're asking for a beating!

The young man's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and slapped towards Hua Qi.

However, before his palm could reach Hua Qi's face, a crisp sound rang out.

Hua Qi's hand had already landed squarely on his face.

The Azure Gang youth was slapped to the ground on the spot, his teeth loosened in his mouth.

He felt his vision go black, saw stars, his head buzzed, and his ears almost went deaf.

You dare to hit me!

The young man's anger surged to his head instantly.

He originally thought that the people from Apricot Blossom Village were already taking a big risk by participating in the competition, and they would never dare to be presumptuous in town, only able to swallow their anger.

In that case, he could humiliate them severely.

He didn't expect that the people from Apricot Blossom Village would dare to fight back, and their movements were even faster than his.

To be slapped in public was a great humiliation.

He felt he had lost all face, his entire body's divine power surged, his eyes were fierce and violent, and he got up to attack.

Smack!

In an instant, another slap landed heavily on his face.

The one who struck was still Hua Qi.

This time the force was much greater than before, directly sending him flying, his face blossoming with blood, and several teeth were knocked out.

Looking for death!

The Azure Gang's youth and higher-ups all walked over, their eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.

You people from Apricot Blossom Village rely on the village's protective array to avoid the disaster of annihilation by huddling in your village for generations, yet today you dare to run wild here. Who gave you the courage!

Today, for daring to injure a direct descendant of my Azure Gang in public, I will kill you here and prevent you from ever stepping onto the competition stage!

An elder of the Azure Gang spoke coldly, his palm opened, secret technique runes flashed, and divine power lingered between his fingers, directly attacking Hua Qi, Hua Qing, and Hua Hu at the same time.

The muscles on the faces of the crowd in the square twitched involuntarily, and some people even covered their eyes.

They knew that the people from the Azure Gang were in trouble.

For some reason, some people even had a gloating feeling in their hearts.

They had been beaten up a few days ago, and their bodies were still in pain.

Now, seeing the people from the Azure Gang about to follow in their footsteps, they inexplicably had a strange pleasure of wanting to see others being beaten and falling into the same situation as themselves.

The next moment.

A golden light that left a psychological shadow on the people of the whole town flashed.

It was a palm, as if cast in pure gold, filled with an unspeakable divinity, and it grabbed the wrist of the Azure Gang elder.

Immediately, the divine power runes between the Azure Gang elder's fingers instantly extinguished.

Crack!

A crisp sound of bone cracking rang out in the square, accompanied by the Azure Gang elder's scream.

His entire wrist was broken, and the broken bone stubble pierced through flesh and blood, exposing it to the air, pale white with blood, making people's hearts tremble.

The intense pain and the golden blood energy that poured into his body through his arm made him lose all strength, and he knelt on the ground on the spot, his face pale and sweating like rain.

You…

The Azure Gang elder was shocked and angry. He was a True God Middle Heaven Realm expert.

Although his Middle Heaven Realm was nothing compared to the experts of the same realm from the Four Great Powers and the Seven Fort Alliance, and his combat power was much weaker.

But after all, he was still a True God Middle Heaven Realm expert, yet he was stopped in one move and his wrist was broken!

He was careless and did not expect that there was such a strong person beside the people from Apricot Blossom Village.

Release me, or you will not escape death today!

Although he was restrained, the Azure Gang elder was not afraid, but his eyes were fierce.

Release our Azure Gang Grand Elder!

You country bumpkin who doesn't know where you came from, do you know what you are doing?

How can you dare to run wild here? Have you ever thought about the consequences?

I tell you, our Azure Gang has a very good relationship with Blade Tyrant Manor.

Even if you have some strength, you will surely die if you dare to do this!

The people from the Azure Gang sneered repeatedly, and then turned to look at the Blade Tyrant Manor Guardian in the distance, saying: "Guardian, this person is too arrogant. Hearing about our relationship with your manor, he didn't care at all. Please, Guardian, kill this person!"

The muscles on the Blade Tyrant Manor Guardian's face twitched violently, and his face became extremely ugly.

The people from the Azure Gang were immediately relieved when they saw his expression.

The Blade Tyrant Manor Guardian was angry, and now there was a good show to watch.

This person dared to attack their Azure Gang Grand Elder. Soon, he would know who was in charge of this ancient town and who controlled life and death!

The Blade Tyrant Manor Guardian came to the Azure Gang's crowd at this time.

Guardian, this person doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Please, Guardian, let him know your power and kill this person!

The Azure Gang Grand Elder knelt on the ground, a smug smile on his face twisted by pain.
