#2162 - The old village chief refuses to pay

Twilight Secret Realm, a certain village.

A group of people wearing straw sandals, coarse cloth clothes, and holding rusty iron swords were looking at the sky with gloomy expressions.

The Glory Monument there had disappeared, but the sound of order from the Glory Monument seemed to still linger in their ears.

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince of the Dusk Dynasty were among them.

Besides them, there was also a group of geniuses from the Dusk Dynasty, as well as experts from the Dusk Dynasty who had disguised themselves as young geniuses using secret techniques of the Dusk Heaven to enter the secret realm.

This group of them numbered a hundred or so, and apart from the young geniuses, the rest were all experts who had come to assist them in competing for opportunities and good fortune!

Near them, there were many traces of fighting, and a lot of animal fur was scattered on the ground.

At this time, those animal furs were being refined and dissolved, scattering into a rain of orderly light.

"Damn it! Truly damn it!

How could this be!

How did he do it!

Killing a King-level creature with bare hands is simply impossible!

Even if he could easily kill a descendant of the Scarlet Royal Family, he shouldn't be able to break through the defense of a King-level creature with his bare hands!"

The Third Prince of the Dusk Dynasty had an iron-blue face, so angry that he almost threw away the rusty iron sword in his hand!

They had tried it long ago, initially going out of the village empty-handed, but they couldn't break through the defenses at all!

Moreover, those were just ordinary creatures, a group of rabbits, not even the Rabbit King!

Ordinary rabbits were already so perverted, one could imagine how perverted the Rabbit King would be!

Even if a hundred of them joined forces, they couldn't break through the Blood Rabbit's defense!

And that Shi, he actually killed a King-level creature with his bare hands in such a short time!

According to his understanding, a King-level creature needs to have a certain number of ordinary creatures in its group killed before it will be alarmed and appear!

Does that mean that Shi killed a large number of ordinary creatures with his bare hands before killing the King-level creature?

"Third Prince, don't be angry. Perhaps he obtained something special in the village, so he has the power to break defenses with his bare hands, thus temporarily taking the lead.

If that's the case, his bare-handed attacks can't be effective forever. The road of trials ahead is still very long. With so many of us assisting the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, can't we catch up with him?

Besides, although we are currently on different initial paths, we will definitely converge at the same location in the end.

There will be opportunities to deal with him!"

"I also think that he obtained some kind of opportunity, so he can temporarily break defenses with his bare hands, but it definitely can't be sustained, otherwise, the setting of the secret realm's trial path would be too unreasonable.

How could a peerless expert like the master of the secret realm make such a low-level mistake?"

The Crown Prince of the Dusk Dynasty, who was gentle and refined, with a weak feeling like a scholar, said.

He had carefully thought about this matter. No matter how he looked at it, he didn't believe that Shi could break through the defense of a King-level creature on the initial path with his own strength.

This was too much of a fantasy, subverting common sense. No one in this realm has been able to do it since ancient times!

He knew that Shi was extremely powerful, but no matter how strong he was, he was still limited by his realm. There was a limit to how strong he could be.

"Third Brother, don't be emotional. Let's seize the time, continue to kill, lure out the King-level creature as soon as possible, complete the task, and get the reward, so that we can proceed with the subsequent trial path and obtain opportunities and good fortune."

The Third Prince no longer spoke, but he was very unhappy in his heart, full of anger!

The glory and rich rewards that Shi obtained, not to mention being at the top of the list, even his imperial sister, who was separated from them and alone, was ranked second on the Glory Monument!

He was almost dying of anger!

He couldn't understand how his imperial sister did it?

How could she get so many honor points so quickly by herself?

And they had dozens of experts to assist them, but they hadn't gotten any honor points yet!

"Shi! Don't let me meet you in the secret realm! Otherwise, I will definitely let you know that in this Twilight State, no matter how outstanding you are individually, you will be suppressed to death!

I will kill you, end your secret realm journey, and let you completely say goodbye to the opportunities and good fortune inside the secret realm!

We'll see! Meeting this prince is your misfortune!"

The Third Prince of the Dusk Dynasty muttered viciously in his heart.

… …

At the same time, Village No. 9, under the Yellow Horn Tree, at the task distribution office.

Jun Wuxie returned to the village, and before he even got close to the Yellow Horn Tree, he heard the old man calling him from afar, waving at him, his face full of excitement and excitement.

"Young man! This old man knew that your bones were extraordinary, and you must be a peerless talent with the potential to save the world!

This old man really didn't misjudge you.

At that time, seeing you leaving the village empty-handed, I thought you were being rash and would return empty-handed.

Who would have thought that you would be so fierce, killing the Blood Chicken King with your bare hands and gaining the approval of the Heavenly Dao Glory Monument!"

The old man rubbed his hands as he spoke, looking at him expectantly, "That Ferrying Calamity Bead…"

"Old man, what's the hurry? I can't use this Ferrying Calamity Bead either, of course, I will give it to you."

Jun Wuxie said, taking out a bead from his Na Ring that flowed with bloody light and was covered with patterns on the surface, like a blood agate.

As soon as he saw the Ferrying Calamity Bead, the old man trembled with excitement, his beard trembling, his lips trembling, and he snatched the Ferrying Calamity Bead from Jun Wuxie's hand with the fastest speed, stuffing it into his pocket.

Jun Wuxie was speechless for a while, as if he would go back on his word and not give it to him.

This thing is important to Village No. 9, but it is useless to him.

"Young man, this old man is the village chief of this village, and I thank you on behalf of all the villagers.

This is the reward for completing the task."

The old village chief said, taking out an antique wooden box.

The box was very small, only half a palm size.

After opening it, divine light radiated, the fragrance of pills permeated, and the fragrance overflowed.

A divine pill flowing with divine splendor lay quietly inside, with many patterns on the surface. Between the flowing of divine light, a hazy halo formed around the divine pill, which looked very magical and extraordinary.

Jun Wuxie's eyes flashed with a chaotic golden light in an instant! What pure energy!

With his eyesight, he could naturally see it at a glance.

This pill can completely allow him to break through from the current Heavenly God Great Heavenly position realm to the Extreme Heavenly position realm!

After all, he didn't just step into the Great Heavenly position, but has been in this realm for many years.

Back in the Upper Realm, he had cultivated in this realm for decades, and his own realm was already in the middle and late stages of the Great Heavenly position.

The realm can finally be broken through.

Staying in it has been a long time after all.

Suffering from the lack of corresponding special resources, his cultivation is also more special, and he is unwilling to spend time in the time barrier, so he has not been able to break through until today.

Cultivation needs to be fast, or it needs opportunities and good fortune, and special resources from heaven and earth to allow the realm to make breakthroughs in a short period of time.

He took the box containing the divine pill from the old village chief, put it away, and then continued to look at the old village chief.

"Young man, do you want to ask about the hidden task?

Don't panic, listen to this old man slowly tell you…"

Jun Wuxie looked at the old village chief playfully and said, "Old village chief, have you forgotten something?"

"Huh?"

The old village chief looked at him blankly, "No, what did this old man forget? How can this old man not remember?"

The corner of Jun Wuxie's mouth twitched. This old village chief is actually playing rogue?

"Old village chief, don't pretend, I have already seen through you.

Where is the Demon Subduing Divine Sword? Don't think about reneging on the debt."

"Ah? What Demon Subduing Divine Sword? How can this old man not know?

Young man, you must have misremembered, this old man has never heard of any Demon Subduing Divine Sword.

Let this old man tell you about the hidden task.

This task is not simple, and if you can't complete it, you won't be able to leave here and go to the Ancient Ruins Town…"

"Enough nonsense, the Demon Subduing Divine Sword, the matter of the hidden task, we'll talk about it later, I'm not in a hurry.

You want to renege on the reward you promised to give me, it won't work."

Jun Wuxie was speechless, this old village chief actually wanted to play rogue, it was simply unscrupulous!

How to say, he helped the village find the Ferrying Calamity Bead, which can be regarded as saving the entire village from suffering, but he still reneged on the debt!

"This old man really doesn't know what Demon Subduing Divine Sword is, you force this old man, this old man still doesn't know."

The old village chief looked innocent, refusing to admit it, with an appearance that as long as I don't admit it, you can't do anything to me.

"Are you going to give it or not?"

Jun Wuxie's eyes were unkind, could he be bullied by others?

Playing rogue has come to his head.

"Young man, you have to be calm, impulsiveness is the devil.

Could it be that you still want to be rude to this old man?

This old man kindly reminds you that if you are rude, you will be punished by thunder."

Jun Wuxie heard the words and showed a bright smile, grabbed the old village chief's beard, and pulled him over directly.

The old village chief cried out in pain and staggered from being pulled by him.

"Warning, attacking the secret realm trial task issuing envoy will be punished by thunder!"

The sound of order rang out in the sky above Jun Wuxie and the old village chief.

The old village chief endured the pain and smiled, "Young man, this old man didn't lie to you, did he? Let go quickly, otherwise you will be miserable… Ah! Ouch, this old man's beard, you damn…"

Before the old village chief could finish speaking, the smile on his face solidified, and he cried out in pain. A large tuft of his beard was pulled off, causing his entire facial features to distort, and tears almost flowed out.

Almost at the same time, an orderly thundercloud appeared in the sky, a huge thundercloud vortex, and a divine thunder of order with a crackling sound, bombarded down from the sky, piercing through the sky and the earth, and instantly bombarded Jun Wuxie.

Jun Wuxie was surrounded by orderly lightning, and the electric arcs crackled, but nothing happened.

This scene stunned the old village chief, and he looked at him in disbelief.

He couldn't understand why Shi had withstood the bombardment of the thunder of order without any reaction?

"Isn't it very surprising? Isn't it very unexpected?"

Jun Wuxie looked at the old village chief's stunned face, his smile bright and sunny, warm and harmless.

But it made the old village chief shudder.

What kind of monster is this Shi after all?

"Old village chief, the Demon Subduing Divine Sword, do you remember it now?"

The old village chief snorted stubbornly.

Jun Wuxie didn't press him any further, holding him down and starting to pluck his beard, causing the old village chief to grimace in pain and scream incessantly.

He acted very decisively, and in a few moments, he had plucked all of the old village chief's beard.

Then, he grabbed the old village chief's hair and started pulling it out directly.

"Don't! Shi, don't pull my hair out, I'll give it to you, can't I just give it to you?"

The old village chief shivered in fright and quickly softened.

Touching his bald chin, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

If this continued, he would become bald, and wouldn't he be laughed at by the whole village?

This Shi is too outrageous, bullying such a weak and kind old man like him.

"If I had known this earlier, why bother, you just had to make me trim your appearance."

Jun Wuxie stretched out his hand, "Bring it here."

"The Demon Subduing Divine Sword is not on me, it was never a reward specified in the mission, but an extra reward that I casually promised you, it's kept in my house."

After the old village chief finished speaking, he walked towards his house.

Jun Wuxie followed behind him.

Along the way, the people in the village looked at the old village chief with astonishment, and couldn't help but chuckle when they saw his bald chin.

The old village chief's face turned red, and he covered his chin with his sleeve, quickening his pace.

Soon, they arrived at the old village chief's house.

His house had a courtyard with several houses inside, one of which was decorated with a simple magic array.

The old village chief opened the magic array and pushed open the door, and a hint of the aura of time rushed towards them.

"Old village chief, how long has it been since you opened this house?"

"Tens of thousands of years, perhaps."

The old village chief's voice was a little low, with a hint of sadness.

He walked to a shelf in the house.

The shelf was filled with many ancient books, as well as parchment scrolls, and so on.

In the center, there was a box, more than three feet long, antique and fragrant, with patterns engraved on it.

Jun Wuxie saw him staring blankly at the wooden box, and knew that the Demon Subduing Divine Sword should be inside.

He walked to the shelf, glanced at it, and casually flipped through the books on it, most of which were basic secret manuals for cultivating spells.

When he unfolded a scroll, his eyes lit up.

This scroll depicted a map, a map of a vast territory!

At first glance, the places marked on the map were only simple place names and boundary lines.

But staring at a location, sinking his divine sense into it, he could see the detailed geographical environment of that location, mountains, rivers, plains, hills, and even marked what kind of creatures were in what location, and even the level of danger.

In addition to this, many caves and secret realm entrances were also marked.

"This is a good thing!"

Jun Wuxie needed this thing, and it was a detailed map!

Since entering the village and starting the secret realm test, his divine sense had been greatly restricted, and the range he could sense in the open was far less than the range of his vision.

Now that he had a map, no matter what test missions he took on in the future, he wouldn't waste a lot of time searching for the way,

and he could also have a general understanding of the situation of the target location in advance, which could avoid some unnecessary troubles.

"Old village chief, give me this map."

His voice pulled the old village chief back from his thoughts.

The old village chief turned his head to look, and the moment his eyes fell on the map, his lips trembled.

"That is the map that my son brought back from the outside world in his early years, and this Demon Subduing Divine Sword was also the weapon he used back then.

These two things are the only items he left in this world."

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

No wonder the old village chief was unwilling to take out the Demon Subduing Divine Sword.

He probably wanted to solve the village's problems and strive for hope at the time, so he used the Demon Subduing Divine Sword to add weight.

But when it came to taking it out, he was reluctant to part with it.

The old village chief's son was extremely amazing back then, although he was born in the village, he achieved very high achievements, and later the world they lived in was invaded by evil demons, triggering wars.

His son was seriously injured and dying while resisting the evil demons outside, and when he returned to the village, he was already dying, and soon after, the evil demons came here, and his son helped the village repel the evil demons several times before running out of energy.

In the end, the Order of Heaven took action and sealed those evil demons in the caves, ancient temples, and secret realms in various places, and this disaster was quelled.

The evil demonic aura left in the world by the evil demons before they were sealed slowly eroded the creatures outside, causing most of the creatures outside to become bloodthirsty, ferocious, and violent.

One day, when he was sweeping his son's grave, he found that the grave had been dug open, and the corpse inside had been stolen.

Later, the people in the village collected clues and suspected that his son's corpse was stolen by certain creatures under the command of the demon zombies in the Demon Zombie Cave.

"Shi, the hidden mission you triggered is to help us retrieve my son's corpse.

As for the reward, our village has nothing to give you anymore, and what we can give you is useless to you, you don't like it.

Since it is a mission given to you by the Order of Heaven, the Order of Heaven will naturally give you rich rewards after you complete it.

This Demon Subduing Divine Sword is given to you, as for the map, it can be lent to you first.

As long as you can retrieve my son's remains, then this map will be given to you as a reward.

This trip is extremely dangerous, I hope this Demon Subduing Divine Sword can help you.

Although it was severely damaged back then, it is, after all, a divine weapon blessed by the Heavenly Dao.

Even if its grade has been reduced, it can still carry some of the sharpness of the Order of Heaven."

The old village chief opened the box, and a long sword engraved with demon-subduing magic patterns and flowing with faint golden light lay inside, with many gaps in the blades on both sides of the sword body, which showed how fierce the battle was back then.

"Old village chief, don't worry, if your son's remains are still there, I will definitely bring him back."

As Jun Wuxie's voice fell, the voice of the Stele of Glory immediately sounded in his ears: "Shi, you have already accepted the hidden mission - The Pain of Village No. 9.

Mission content - Investigate the reason for the theft of the remains of the old village chief's son, and bring back the remains of the old village chief's son, within three months.

Before the mission is completed, you cannot leave the boundary of Village No. 9.

If the mission is not completed within the three-month period, it will be regarded as a failure of the secret realm test, and you will never be able to leave Village No. 9 until the secret realm is closed!"

"There's even a time limit?"

Jun Wuxie was stunned.

He knew that this mission was definitely not simple and would be very difficult.

The three months must not be wasted, he must take the pills as soon as possible to break through the realm and the Divine Forbidden Domain.
