“Keke… Keke.”
The brutish male made his hands into the shape of a cone and he mimicked the cries of a female pig.
“Eh?”
Zhu Shen had just finished scouting for news and was prepared to climb up the mountain. This was when he heard that weird sound. For some reason, Zhu Shen suddenly felt hormones rising in his body.
But it didn’t make sense.
Zhu Shen felt that this really didn’t make sense.
He had turned into a pig and thought like a male but he had the subconcious biology of a pig.
Zhu Shen suppressed his pig heart and turned his head to the bushes where the sound came from.
“Keke…”
When the people in the bushes saw the fat pig slowly getting closer, he became more and more emotional.
“Amazing, I really didn’t expect it to actually work. You really are a genius.”
The people around praised and the way they looked at him changed too.
The brutish male smiled with delight and he shushed them to lower their voices.
“Stop talking. The wild boar is really sensitive and we musn’t scare him away. When he gets close we will pounce on him. Whether we get a good meal will depend on whether or not we succeed.”
Maybe because he felt that his skill was respected by them, his tone became really firm and it felt like he was scolding them and saying that he was the one who was definitely in the right.
“What is going on?”
The wild boar frowned. Martial Path Mountain was extremely peaceful and the cries were obviously from a human. Who was so sick in the head to give out such a sound?
He wanted to find out the truth. Who was so bored?
Just as Zhu Shen got close.
“Grab him…”
Instantly, several people jumped out of the bushes.
“I grabbed his leg.”
“I grabbed his tail.”
“Wa, he might look small but his leg is actually so muscular.”
Zhu Shen was stunned and hadn’t managed to react.
Although he had turned into a pig, no matter what, he was a Dao Realm Stage Three pig. Now that someone had grabbed his leg and praised him for being muscular, he was so furious.
“Preposterous, let go.” Zhu Shen raged.
They dared to be so rude to him… Did they not know what death was?
“Listen, did anyone say something?”
“No, I didn’t hear anything.”
“No, listen closely. There really was something.”
The people who grabbed Zhu Shen were all confused. They didn’t know where the sound came from but they knew that someone was definitely talking.
Zhu Shen was furious. He directly shook away the people who grabbed him with his aura and he said furiously, “I was the person who spoke. Who are you to dare to come to Martial Path Mountain?”
People from Martial Killing Alliance were all blown from left to right. They looked at each other and then at Zhu Shen.
Someone exclaimed, “Monster.”
A pig that knew how to speak… If it was not a monster, then what was it?
“Run.”
Instantly, a few of them tried to flee while some stayed where they were and raged, “A pig that speaks must not be a normal pig. Let’s grab him. Who cares about Martial Path Mountain? This pig alone will be a huge profit for us.”
“All them cowards… What are we even hesitating for? Don’t be afraid, just grab him.”
These people were so bold; they didn’t think about much and just pounced towards Zhu Shen.
Zhu Shen was called the top blade of the Imperial Dynasty in the past and he wasn’t a nice person. He didn’t care about hurting the innocent. Especially since turning into a pig, his mentality had totally collapsed.
Now that someone tried to provoke him, he couldn’t take it anymore.
“You are asking to die.”
Zhu Shen lifted his leg and stepped down. The space sunk and a huge pressure struck towards them. To those people, it was like something was pressing onto their bodies.
They were instantly crushed and a pool of blood splashed into the sky.
“Just this bit of strength and you dare to cause trouble in Martial Path Mountain. All of you are just asking to die.” Zhu Shen took a look before turning around and walking up the mountain.
Although his pig body was small, it contained huge power. He wasn’t someone who could be bullied.
As for those people who fled, he didn’t care about them and just allowed them to leave.
In the distance, those people who fled looked back into the distance. They didn’t hear anyone screaming but they saw the blood that splattered into the sky.
So terrifying, so cruel…
Those bastards lied to them. This place wasn’t safe at all and was really dangerous. Martial Path Mountain was really so terrifying.
What was the point in thinking so much now?
Run.
Zhu Shen heard many things from the outside world.
It was roughly the same as what he knew.
Celestial Alliance and Evil Alliance were having an intense war and even the Buddha Alliance and Monster Alliance were pulled in.
At the same time, Imperial Dynasty was working with the Alliance to clear out the normal sects and expand their territory.
He also wanted to find out news about Master Lin but he didn’t find out anything at all.
“The situation is a little complicated and it is too chaotic. To normal people, this is just a calamity.” Zhu Shen muttered.
The reason why he defended the border was because he had respect for Lin Wanyi and wanted to fight the Alliance with him. But there were many who hoped that they could protect the commoners to prevent them from suffering.
But he also heard that those who left the border all hid themselves. They would take the chance to deal damage to the Alliance.
But it was really difficult to find them.
Lin Fan was still awake and was resting outside. When he saw Zhu Shen, he asked, “What happened at the foot of the mountain just now?”
Zhu Shen replied, “A bunch of fools were squatting outside Martial Path Mountain and I dealt with them. They won’t be coming back.”
“Oh…” Lin Fan didn’t ask more. He looked at the night sky, “Zhu Shen, look at the moon, isn’t it big and round? It is so beautiful.”
Zhu Shen lifted his head and blinked, beautiful?
Village, no, he should have called it the City of Darkness.
This was the village that Lin Fan passed and stole their statue, becoming the true god in their hearts.
There was movement outside of the village.
Several shadows moved quickly.
“Old Master, Little Miss, there is a small village up ahead. Let’s hide there and we will definitely be able to avoid them.”
They were a family from some village and due to the Alliance, they were being hunted down and many of their family members were dead. Only a few of them managed to escape.
* Xiu!*
Suddenly, a cold light slashed past the sky and headed towards the people who spoke. With a piercing sound, it sliced off his arm.
“You natives really run quickly but what is the use? In the end, we still catch up to you.” Many people walked out from the darkness with cold smiles on their faces. To them, it was like a cat and mouse game. They would play with them and when they got tired, they would deal the final blow.
“Old Master, Little Miss, all of you leave. The rest of you attack together with me.”
A battle erupted.
The battle was really intense and it also ended really quickly.
The slave who shouted it was spitting out blood and he fainted from his injuries. As for the Old Master and the Little Miss, they didn’t leave and joined in the battle instead. They were on the verge of falling and right as they were about to fall unconcious, they saw an old man with a hunched back walking out of the village.
They lost all their feelings and fainted.
Who knew how long passed?
“Ah!”
Xue Jinrou opened her eyes and shouted in panic. She remembered that she was in despair and they were about to be killed.
She saw someone walk out of the village and then she lost all of her senses.
“Father…”
She shouted in panic but no one replied to her. She looked around and she was in a foreign room.
“Have I been saved?”
She quickly got up and carefully pushed open the door. Shortly after, she heard her father’s voice and ran over.
“Father, are you okay?”
Xue Zhong shook his head, “I am fine. We were saved but let’s not talk about all of this, they…”
At this moment, Xue Jinrou realized that many villagers were kneeling in the center like they were praying to something.
Silence… There was no sound at all.
“Father, they seem to be kneeling in front of that statue.” Xue Jinrou said softly.
Xue Zhong nodded his head, “Such a secluded village really respects such weird things. this must be their village totem.”
“Old Master, that old man is not simple.” The old slave said softly.
He sensed a terrifying aura from that old man. Although the other party tried to hide it, the aura that leaked out made him feel a sense of panic.
Xue Zhong was stunned and nodded his head. He thought about some things. Maybe some experts decided to live in unassuming areas and disguise themselves as normal people.
Maybe they had faced such a person and they were saved by him.
If that was the case, maybe this was a chance.
A long while later, those people kneeling on the ground slowly got up.
Xue Zhong said respectfully, “Thank you senior for saving us. I don’t know what to say, so let me bow to you.”
The village chief was stunned. What were these people doing?
They didn’t need to be so courteous.
The village chief’s stunned expression made Xue Zhong even more sure that this old man was an expert.
“I heard sounds outside, so I went to take a look and realized that you were laying there and I brought you back. You need to be careful when you head out. But don’t worry, our village is safe and if you are not rushing, then you can live here for some time.” The chief said.
Xue Zhong replied hurriedly. It was good to live here for some time. With an expert here, there was no place in the world that was safer than here.
“Senior, may I ask, what is this place?”
The chief said, “This place is the City of Darkness and the people who live here are all normal people. We are all protected by the gods and this place is really safe.”
Xue Zhong felt a little giddy.
The senior’s words astonished him. Protected by the gods?
* What is he talking about?*
